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:

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!
