If you’ve felt that dedication, we’d be honored if you’d consider casting your vote for Hunt in the “Labor of Love” category in the Steam Awards. Your voice matters.

Your support keeps us going.

New Community Event – Plowshares and Pitchforks



“Daddy’s got his pitchfork ready. He thinks it’ll send the right kind of message to this Scarecrow who’s got it in his head that we’re the problem around here: that he ain’t worth our finer ammunitions. That he ain’t nothing but a sick, sad little pile of straw. And, wouldn’t you know it, we’re ready to rake his sorry ass into a pile of kindling for the fire that’ll roast our Thanksgiving turkey. – Millie Moses”

Hunters,

In celebration of the Thanksgiving season, we have a new Community Event for you which will run from November 14th through December 1st. Much like the previous Community Event, Death Rites, Plowshares and Pitchforks is a PvP-based contest where you can play as a Hunter from your favored team to kill as many enemy Hunters as you can. Whichever team racks up the most kills will unlock a reward for the entire community!

There are two teams to choose from: Redneck Rampage and The Sowers.

Redneck Rampage

Redneck Rampage operates true to its name and is all about showing their adversaries just what it means to pick a fight with a group of kin who have already overcome insurmountable odds. They have no interest in letting some ritual The Scarecrow thought up on a lonely whim wreak further havoc on their lives. While the legacy of their chicken farm empowers them to show up as their best and strongest selves, the Moses family aren’t the only ones who believe that The Scarecrow must be stopped in their murder spree.

The Hunters on this team are:
  • The Redneck
  • The Redneck’s Daughter
  • Pappy Redneck
  • Otis Blackwell
  • Jane Eddings


If Redneck Rampage racks up the most enemy kills, then Patron’s Payer: Marksman will be unlocked.


The Sowers

The Sowers are out to give thanks to the Corruption, which they believe is misunderstood. The Scarecrow has brought this twisted chosen family together in hopes that they can enact the Sculptor’s will by neutralizing all Hunters who have committed to stopping the Corruption. “Sow the seeds of their corpses into the soil through all Incursion zones,” he asserts to his followers. “Let’s show the Sculptor just how thankful we are for all the purpose it has bestowed upon us.”

The Hunters on this team are:
  • The Scarecrow
  • Thorn Wreath
  • Daughter of Decay
  • Mercy Zener
  • Joan Damon


If The Sowers rack up the most enemy kills, then Empty Cairn: Sniper will be unlocked.

What are you waiting for, Hunter? Get your pitchforks ready, choose a side, and start hunting!

We’ll see you in the bayou.
