Update: 17:00 AM, March 19

Hunters,

We have completed a rolling update and installed a hotfix with zero downtime. This update addresses the issues regarding The Madness of Montresor DLC and brings back Bounty Clash on two of our maps.

The Madness of Montresor DLC Fix
We are pleased to confirm that the DLC is now available for Steam users. If you have previously purchased this DLC, the items should now appear in your inventory.

Please note that you may need to restart your game client for these changes to take effect. While you might not receive an automated reward pop-up upon login, your content will be waiting for you in-game.

You may finally don the mask of Montresor, but stay vigilant of the madness it brings with it! The DLC will be available here shortly: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4261920/Hunt_Showdown_1896__The_Madness_of_Montresor/

Bounty Clash Returns
We have resolved the spawn issues on Stillwater Bayou and DeSalle. Bounty Clash is now available on these two maps with the following rotation schedule:

• Now – 08:00 UTC: Stillwater Bayou
  
• 08:00 UTC – 20:00 UTC: DeSalle
  
• Rotation repeats.
  

This workaround allows you to jump back into Bounty Clash, enjoy the action, and complete your challenges while we work on a permanent solution, which we expect to launch early next week.

In the meantime, work continues regarding the balancing issues with the All Ears Trait. We will provide more updates on this matter soon.

Happy hunting!

Update: 12:00 AM, March 19

Hunters,

We hope you have stepped onto the Devil's Trail and are enjoying the new features and additions that the update has brought. We would like to provide a quick update on a few issues that have arisen following the installation of this update. We aim to keep you informed as we work through these items.

Recent Fixes
To begin with positive news: we successfully installed a hotfix last night. This was completed with zero downtime, and based on our data, the connectivity issues for the Russian and Asian servers are now resolved. If you are still experiencing any problems, please contact our customer support team.

Bounty Clash Status
Unfortunately, the Bounty Clash bug has proven to be trickier than we would like. It will likely require a client update, which is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of next week. We sincerely apologize to all Bounty Clash fans and we promise to bring the mode back online as soon as we can.

The Madness of Montresore DLC
We are working on a fix for The Madness of Montresore DLC, which we hope to deploy later this afternoon. This will be another zero downtime update, so you will be able to continue playing while we resolve the issue. Rest assured that if you have already purchased the DLC, the content will appear in your inventory as soon as the fix is live. If you are playing on consoles, good news - you can already purchase and enjoy the new DLC.

The All Ears Trait
Lastly, we have been paying close attention to your feedback regarding the All Ears trait. We acknowledge that it currently offers a greater advantage than we originally intended. We are currently considering options for urgent balance improvements and will keep you informed once a decision has been made.

Please continue to share your feedback with us. We hope these temporary hurdles do not distract you from enjoying the new update! What is the best part about the update so far?

Hunters,

We hope everyone has been enjoying the launch of Update 2.7 - Devil's Trail. 🔥

Unfortunately, we’ve discovered a bug in the Bounty Clash game mode that can cause players to spawn right next to another team, leading to immediate gunfights as Missions begin. While this only impacts a small group of players, we need to temporarily take down Bounty Clash for further investigation. We’ll share more updates on this tomorrow as our team works toward a solution.

We’re also aware of an additional issue with the new ‘The Madness of Montresor’ DLC. While it’s available for purchase on Steam, the DLC isn’t unlocking properly for PC players in-game. Rest assured, your purchase is fully tracked. Once we have a fix, your DLC content will be automatically available, with no need to repurchase.

We’ll provide updates on both issues as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

The Madness of Montresor DLC is out now!

Abandoned and left to die by his old hunting partner, Edward Montresor embraced the spirit of the old carnivals of Venice to enact a literary-inspired revenge.

This DLC contains:

- Montresor (Hunter)
- Palazzo’s Pride (Krag Silencer)
- Motley Madness (Nagant M1895)
- Fortunato (Derringer Pennyshot)

The scouts did their part. They reported unpredictable threats and rewards worth the risk.

Now it's your turn, Hunters, to see it for yourselves.

Walk the Devil’s Trail and face what they found.
