Take part in a fast-paced scramble for the Bounty Token in the stunning compounds of Mammon’s Gulch and Stillwater Bayou to defeat other teams in the quick and ruthless Bounty Clash game mode! Meanwhile, the wicked Harvest of Ghosts descends upon the gulch and bayou, bringing many exciting changes and equipment for a fresh Halloween Event. Harvest of Ghosts runs from October 16th until November 25th, with the Bounty Clash game mode available from now until October 20th, and then every weekend during the Event.

Bounty Clash

Bounty Clash is a new experimental game mode where players will spawn in a random compound with a dead Boss Target awaiting a banishment which will yield a single Bounty Token for teams to fight over. In a quick and ruthless fight, teams will be pitted against each other, rushing the Bounty Token to extract it within the 15-minute time limit.

Raising the stakes higher than before, Bounty Clash takes place within the stunning compounds of Mammon’s Gulch and Stillwater Bayou, which have been uniquely adapted for the mode. Rush – Fight – Extract – Repeat! Enjoy the thrill of this brand-new, limited-time game mode.

The game mode runs on the following dates:

  • October 16th – October 20th ​
  • October 25th – October 27th
  • October 31st ​ – November 3rd
  • November 8th – November 10th
  • November 15th – November 17th
  • November 22nd – November 24th

Harvest of Ghosts Event

The newest Hunt: Showdown 1896 in-game event, Harvest of Ghosts, brings many exciting changes to players during the Halloween season. Pact Traits like Blast Sight (which shows the origin of gunshots and explosions in Dark Sight) and Pain Sense (which shows enemies who have been shot, lit on fire, or poisoned in Dark Sight) change the way players will approach their fights. In addition to three Pacts and new weapons such as the Bomb Launcher and Maynard Sniper, as well as new variants like the Auto-4 Shorty, Centennial Pointman, and Rival 78 Mace, the Event also brings the Dark Dynamite Satchel, which can be detonated remotely through Dark Sight, as well as a Hand Crossbow Revive Bolt among many other changes, fixes, and tweaks.

With more rewards and new ways to play, there’s never been a spookier time to jump into Hunt: Showdown 1896!
