Hunt Showdown is getting a huge boost in content with its very first update. While new traits, tools, and level design changes are on their way, the team has also fixed bugs and taken into account player concerns as well as their own. To say the update is an improvement would be an understatement, as the changes cover nearly every aspect of the game.

It is rare to encounter a development team that has put as much thought into their updates as the team with Hunt Showdown has. Their focus seems primarily on making sure it is well-balanced. The changes encourage players to think carefully about their trait and weapon choices, and tweaking gameplay to allow for features like fall damage and weapons adjustments to even the playing field for all.

Of course, scopes and new abilities aren’t the only things landing in Hunt Showdown. The team has also changed many of the levels of the game in order to manage difficulty and encourage players to engage up-front. Defending players may find the updates helpful with more cover and fewer openings. Check out the level updates with level design director Chris Auty in the video below:
