Hunt Showdown gets a new event with Tide of Shadows and we present the new content, explain the progression, traits, pledge marks and much more.
What's going on? Developer Crytek has announced the new "Tide of Shadows" event for Hunt Showdown with a trailer. With the start of the event, we not only get the new boss Rot-Jaw, which acts in the wild. No, the trailer hides countless new features and tons of new content.
What's new? The announcement trailer for the new event shows us various new content for Hunt Showdown. However, this content is not simply presented, instead, the developers hide it within the trailers -- we don't, we show it to you! Even more, on Twitter Crytek already reveals some new content:
We have already reported about this boss in detail. So here comes the short version: the boss Rot-Jaw is a gigantic alligator. Rot-Jaw doesn't wait for you in a classic boss lair. Instead, you'll meet the alligator boss in the wild.
As soon as the event in Hunt Showdown starts and the update is released, we can look forward to 2 new weapons and a new addition to the crossbow.
According to the event trailer, three new hunters await us in the upcoming update of Hunt Showdown. None of them has a name and we introduce you to the new hunters with their appearance:
With the Tide of Shadows event in Hunt Showdown comes, of course, entirely new game mechanics and objectives for the entire community. Among other things, there are now the so-called ship altars that you have to destroy. These take the place of the soul traps from the previous event. Among other things, you have to destroy these altars and or loot them to progress further in the event. However, there are several ways to advance your progression in Tide of Shadows Event:
Activity | Event Points |
Destroy Ship Altar | 2 |
Loot Ship Altar | 4 |
Investigate Event Clues and Rifts | 6 |
Loot Enemy Hunter | 8 |
Banish Boss Monster | 10 |
Extratct with a Bounty or become Soul Survivor | 20 |
Complete Challenge Milestones | 500 - 1000 |
In addition, you can see in the trailer that corpses now float on the surface of the water. Up until now, killed players always lay at the bottom of a lake or river, and finding them was extremely tedious. However, with a boss that operates outdoors and in the waters of the bayou, this change makes perfect sense, for example, to revive friends and loot enemies.
If you play the current Hunt Showdown event with certain hunters, you will receive a 10% bonus on your accumulated event points. In addition, the corresponding hunters already have 4 Pledge Marks and you cannot earn new ones with them in the game. In this regard, the hunters are divided into three different pacts, each of which includes four hunters:
Hunters that you have not purchased as a Legendary can continue to earn Pledge Marks and certain Traits throughout the rounds. A maximum of three Pledge Marks can be earned in a round through various activities -- four is the total maximum:
Which pact you pledge allegiance to is up to you: To do so, go to one of the supply trucks on the map and fill the corresponding box of the desired pact with your Pledge Marks. Then, up to three traits will appear on the supply wagon or boat for you to pick up.
In the current event there are two different types of traits. On the one hand there are the normal pact traits, on the other hand the so-called burn traits: The latter disappear after one use.
Primal Pact Traits
Smuggler Pact Traits
Grounded Pact Traits
Trait for all pacts
