Hunters,
We have rolled out a client update to debug frame drops issues that a minority of you have reported to us during the past Test periods.
Make sure to download the client update as without it you will not be able to join games. (you'll get kicked back to menu during loading screen). If this happens, close your client and restart steam to get the update.
You can confirm the SteamBuildID in the Steam application properties.

His week spot can be found in the middle of his chest (where the fleshy part is showing), hitting that stuns him and prevents him from cloning as well.
You did get 2 hitmarkers at one point before he cloned and attacked, he probably had a tiny bit of HP left.
The clones are invincible, but they disappear after being hit. You can tell if a clone hits you, with seeing bugs on your screen!

New Boss: The Assassin
  • Added new boss target: The Assassin
  • Agile attacks from unseen angles
  • Uses walls to navigate to shortcuts and fire ranged attacks from
  • Temporarily clones itself to try and open up an opportunity to attack

Developer Note:
The Assassin is the product born from a lot of investigation into what bosses mean to Hunt in its current state, since the previous two boss targets were created the game has shifted a lot to build a better core experience. With this in mind, we wanted to approach the issues that came out of the other bosses and see where we can build a benchmark that offers a few things; a challenge to new and old players, a balance between boss PvE engagement and the ever looming PvP, and something unique to set each boss apart.
There were a lot of prototypes and concepts that we tried – for example the early stages didn’t have clones and relied on trying to lead the player into dead ends, but a ...

Hunters,
We would like to officially welcome you to the 12th testing phase on our test servers. Some of you should already be familiar with this concept but for those of you that are not here is the deal:
As we progress through Early Access, we will be performing a number of testing phases aimed at testing/refining the content and updates we want to bring to Hunt:Showdown in the future. This means that prior to us releasing new content (either hot fixes, content patches or performance updates) we will run a test phase to verify that this update will have the intended results.
Through each of these phases, we will create specific sub forum dedicated to that phase (like this sub forum for example) where you can provide us with your feedback and bug reports from your time in game. We would ask that if you create topics in this section, please ensure it is ONLY about the current test phase. If you wish to discuss future improvements, ideas relating to possible content then we would ask... Read more
Hunters,
The Test servers will go offline at 12:00 PM CET (In about 35 minutes)!
Thank you all for participating in this testing period and sending your feedback and bug reports to us!

New Equipment LeMat Mark II Revolver
  • Re-imagining a classic: The LeMat Mark II is based on a vintage Civil War era caplock design, but modernized to load cartridges
  • Single-action revolver with a second barrel that holds a single shotgun shell. Uses a small inventory slot
  • Combines the advantages of a mid-range handgun with the firepower of a shotgun at a point-blank range
  • Can toggle fire-modes between primary and secondary ammo type
  • Fires 9 rounds of compact ammo with additional 18 bullets
  • The shotgun comes with 3 additional shells
  • The weapon benefits from the Fanning trait, but fans at a lower speed due to its bulky size.
Lebel M93 Bolt-action Rifle
  • French bolt-action rifle design that set new standards to many upcoming rifles such as the Mosin Nagant, which would take inspiration from it in the following years
  • Slightly dated and somewhat clunky to operate. What the weapon lacks with its lower rate of fire and less control, it mak...

Balance Changes
  • Adjusted the unlock Ranks of the First Aid Kit and Resilience trait.
    • First Aid Kit now unlocks at Rank 1
    • Resilience Trait now unlocks at Rank 9

  • Tentatively fixed the backend issues with update 5.0 (backend servers are over consuming CPU, making them unresponsive). We will continue to monitor the situation and may interrupt the test server at any time to remote debug it.
  • Fixed an issue where an ammo box was floating in the air in Lawson Delta
  • Fixed issue where players could sprint while aiming with the Bornheim pistol
  • Fixed some vegetation issues in Lawson Delta as they appeared too bright
  • Fixed a bug where a reward pop up message appeared when recruiting a new Hunter on a fresh bloodline
  • Fixed derringer texture issues
