About

Discover the possibilities of our arsenal, with weapons, gear, and abilities that are equal parts authentic and creative. Explore different tactical approaches to any situation, whether you’re setting an ambush or taking back the initiative. Build your own unique loadouts that match your playstyle. From Beetles to Tarot Cards, there’s a tool for every job. Lightweight inventory management keeps you focused on the game rather than your backpack. Survive and level up your Hunter. But don’t get complacent, as even the best gear won’t save you. Combat is balanced so that everyone has a fair chance.


The world has teeth. Experience ravaged landscapes and twisted monstrosities deep in the forgotten corners of the American West. With four massive maps, transformative weather conditions, and fresh changes every season, you’ll always have something new to see. Whether you’re outrunning a wildfire or stalking under the cover of heavy rain, make no mistake: From Mammon’s Gulch to Lawson Delta, the Corruption has seeped into everything.


Rely on your ears just as much as your eyes. Sound is vital: the warning cries of nearby monsters. Dogs barking in the distance at enemy Hunters on your trail. The metallic clinks of a weapon being reloaded in the other room. From creaking floorboards to snapping twigs, every sound could make the difference between survival and disaster. So, watch where you step. Hold your fire when you can. And if you find your ears are left wanting more, listen to the haunting melodies of Port Sulphur Band, exclusive to Hunt: Showdown 1896.


Danger lurks around every corner. The dead have risen and are hungry, but rival players are the deadlier threat. The gunshots will close in from every direction. Every Hunter is competing for the same prize, which turns every match into a deadly showdown. When you finally make contact, ride the adrenaline rush. Every second matters, every bullet counts, and the smallest decisions will seal your fate. The biggest risks for the highest rewards.


Trust is survival. Choose your team wisely as another pair of eyes can be the difference between life and death. Share your triumph in duos or trios. When you’re ready, take the challenge hunting solo. Relish your hard-earned victories, it’s taking the bounty that matters. Whether your match ended in a haul of loot or the cold embrace of death, know your fellow Hunters have walked that same line. As they say, Hunt Giveth or Hunt Taketh.


Express the way you play. Recruit from a diverse roster of Hunters, including Wild West gunslingers, twisted fanatics, and legendary warriors from further afield. Arm them with an array of distinctive weapons, from exquisite firearms to brutal, improvised hammers. With hundreds of unlocks and customizations beyond your Hunter and gear, no one will Hunt quite like you.

It's a hard game to get in to but when you get at least some hang of it the kills feel super rewarding. Also got the game on sale just to try it out and it has been the best entertainment purchase I've made in some time
Don't let old reviews fool you: this game is now trash. The developers are completely inept—they don't fix existing problems, they just manufacture new ones with every update. It's clear the project is being run by amateurs. The core concept is the only reason it survived this long, but it’s officially on its last legs. Do not waste your money or your time. Look elsewhere.
Great game, shame ongoing bugs persist since early access. Not sure how you have a damage screen bug in a game using your own engine. Im sure new skins will be available though.
Покупал для совместной игры с друзьями. Когда играл ещё в «Цирк», было терпимо, хоть и частенько попадались игроки 99-го уровня, и игра заканчивалась с выстрела в голову от куста из винтовки Мейнарда с глушаком. Но это было терпимо и не так часто встречалось. Вроде обнова интересная, с крепостью этой задумка ничего, но ребаланс ношения оружия всё испортил. Теперь каждый второй гоняет с дробовиком или просто ждёт тебя за углом, и ты ищешь игру больше, чем играешь. Симулятор главного меню, одним словом. Если раньше 50 на 50 ты умудрялся поперестреливаться, устраивать какие-то зарубы между игроками, и негативные эмоции гасились, когда ты через раз выносишь награду, то сейчас, уже четвёртый день играю, 90 процентов каток заканчиваются без единого выстрела — просто выстрел в жопу из-за угла или какое-то чмо на кошке подкрадывается. Если ты ждёшь от игры динамичных пострелушек - ищи другую игру, потому что с каждой обновой становится только хуже.
I have around 20k hours of various videogames. This game is uniquely terrible. The Graphics are HORRIBLE (never seen graphics act as such a detriment to gameplay), movement is clunky, and I'd say hitboxes are bad but I honestly couldn't tell you, because past 50 meters, you can't see them anyways! This is the only game I have ever played where I have consistently ended the session thinking "Wow, I didn't enjoy one single aspect of that." TLDR: Graphics, movement, and hitboxes are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, gunplay largely ruined by this (and the dev's apparent misunderstanding of what "Semi-Auto" means, least enjoyable experience I've ever had gaming.
I am so fu tired to play against solo 6 star's, I want to play against teams of my noob rank, why the fu you added solo to the teams? Is it funny? Is it challenging? No it's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unfair and waste of hunt dollars. In general game is fun when you have opponets of the same skill, but for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I put dislike
The developers do nothing to ban the cheaters, they act like its not a problem. At the lower MMR its not, however 6 stars is terrible and there are know cheaters that even say it on their profile and game dev's are to lazy to do anything about it. Steam doesn't do anything about it either.
ничего не поменялось, все такой же сидячий или снайперский геймплей и кривая игра с халтурными ивентами, убитым балансом и ужасной оптимизацией, не знаю насчет частой у игроков проблемы с вылетом, но за эти 12 часов ничего не было ( не значит что у других эта проблема по-прежнему не появляется)
Its more like DLC/skin showdown then hunt, adding only skins and not new content. It was good game when it come, something new and original, but over time, devs make this game just a big pile of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It should offer multyple game play style but they f**** up maps and nerf weapons in way they force you play only youtuber (cry babies) style = mosin only. something else like sniping or shotguns that cant kill on 2m is not playable. = This game force you play it like its some stupit CoD deathmatch then some zombies/monsters/players hunt. - a lot of bugs and long textures loading - cant play like 5 min of the start of every game (and yea installed on SSD disc) - extremly large amount of cheaters, and devs doing nothing against it. - illogical weapons/damage system (possible try of balance but they make it even worst then before) + (no longer exist) visual (if textures load) 9/10 gameplay 0/10
