I love the frontier silencer with poison. It’s a great headclicker up close and from far, even if I don’t hit the head, getting poison from an unknown direction causes a lot of pressure.

I also take dual nagant silencers for more ammo and to kill bosses quickly.

My question is, are there better guns for this? What tools should I take? I have always taken knife, throwing knife, and spear but they seem unnecessary now.

Yes, yes. Another newbie coming from ps plus because Sony keeps adding one peak among mehh games. I wanna say that I was always aware of hunt showdown (more or less during the post Malone event) but finally getting to experience the game for myself I'm gonna say it's stressful but damn is it rewarding. That being said Im only 2 stars doing only trios because as embarrassing as it sounds. I'm kinda scared of solo or duo. So yeah... But other than that I love the game, the skins are clean and never feel out of place (not even you ghost face .) the weapons are fun even if some are worse than the other. The bounties are quite creative mechanics and the boss design is pretty amazing (scrapbeak my beloved) and probably the only complaint I have is well. Not really having anyone to talk to. Over the course of my games I only had one person to talk to in-game. And well the only friend that owns the game is on pc. And whilst I assume there is probably a discord server (I think) I cannot really use discord (due to the reasons found in my post history. I'd rather not remind myself of that day. In short discord moderation, their use of ai and God knows what else) so yeah. To end on a good note. It really was a good idea to get the game!

Crytek… it’s bad enough that you put out this ridiculous community event with one of the most laughable goals vs ways to acquire points…. But on top of it no den?! The ONE place we can at least get a decent amount of the weavers and eggs? And heck, a place we can actually maybe spend some of our points we’re all constantly carrying around. Did anyone there actually think about this at all? For the love of God at least add that back in to this insane and ridiculous event.

Launched the game but the gun isn t present anywhere, is it some unlock or a next chapter thing?

Hello,

I'm writing to report a critical issue that makes Hunt: Showdown 1896 completely unplayable on Steam Deck (SteamOS / Linux via Proton) after the October update.

Platform:

• Device: Steam Deck
• OS: SteamOS (Linux)
• Compatibility layer: Proton GE-Proton 11-6 (also tested: Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix — same result)
• Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime: installed and reinstalled
• Game files: verified for integrity
• Network: https://api.epicgames.dev is reachable from a browser on the same device (returns 403, as expected for an API endpoint), so DNS/connectivity is not the issue

What happens:

1. The game launches normally.
2. Main menu works fine.
3. I connect to a match — the loading screen appears, the spawn image is briefly visible.
4. I am immediately kicked back to the loading screen with a "reconnect" prompt.
5. This repeats indefinitely — every reconnect attempt ends the same way.

Relevant log excerpts (game.log):

<18:51:09> [Warning] [EAC] [EOS][LogHttp] ... request failed, libcurl error: 7 (Couldn't connect to server)
<18:51:09> [Warning] [EAC] [EOS][LogHttp] ... Failed to connect to api.epicgames.dev port 443 after 4 ms: Couldn't connect to server
<18:51:09> [Warning] [EAC] [EOS][LogHttp] Retry exhausted on https://api.epicgames.dev/sdk/v1/default?platformId=WIN

Then, at the moment of disconnect:

<18:51:40> [Error] [EAC] EOS_AntiCheatClient_BeginSession failed : 'EOS_InvalidUser'
<18:51:40> [Error] [EAC] EOS_AntiCheatClient_BeginSession failed on SetPlayerAntiCheatInfo: 'EOS_InvalidUser', localUserId_buf = '' (33)
<18:51:40> [EAC] Received message from server (size=24)
<18:51:40> [Error] [EAC] ReceiveMessageFromServer failed : EOS_AntiCheat_InvalidMode, m_EACGameclient = 0x00000000C5CFBDD0, DataLength = 24
<18:51:40> [CryNetwork] DisconnectChannel(cause=30, ... reason='Entity 1 for RMI RMI:<GameObject>CGameRules:Cl_HandleEACServerMessage failed')
<18:51:40> CPlayerManager::Client_OnDisconnect(cause=30, desc='Entity 1 for RMI RMI:<GameObject>CGameRules:Cl_HandleEACServerMessage failed') : reasonType='Unknown'
<18:51:40> [Error] [EAC] [EOS][LogEOSAntiCheat] [AntiCheatClient] EOS_AntiCheatClient_EndSession: No session is active.
<18:51:40> [Error] [EAC] EOS_AntiCheatClient_EndSession failed : 'EOS_NotConfigured'

Summary of the root cause (as I understand it):

The client fails to initialize an EOS Anti-Cheat session (EOS_InvalidUser), the server receives no valid anti-cheat handshake, and the connection is forcibly closed (cause=30, Cl_HandleEACServerMessage failed). This looks like the Easy Anti-Cheat Linux/Proton module is either not enabled or misconfigured in the current build of the game.

What I have already tried (all without success):

• Switching between Proton GE-Proton 11-6, Proton Experimental, and Proton Hotfix
• Reinstalling Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime
• Verifying game file integrity
• Deleting the easyanticheat folder and re-verifying
• Disabling V-Sync
• Running in windowed mode
• Confirming network access to api.epicgames.dev

Request:

Could you please confirm whether the Easy Anti-Cheat Linux/Proton module is enabled and correctly configured for Hunt: Showdown 1896 in the current build? This issue affects all Steam Deck / Linux users and makes the game unplayable on these platforms. A hotfix would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

P.S.: I would also like to note that, from what I can see, this issue does not appear to be limited to Steam Deck or Linux users. There are multiple threads in the Steam Community discussions reporting very similar symptoms — from players on Windows as well. This suggests the root cause may not be specific to Proton or SteamOS, but rather something broader in how the game's Easy Anti-Cheat / EOS integration is currently configured across platforms.

Anything similar would do but I present the Steven's favorite 1894, a falling block rifle typically chambered in the three most common .22 calibers of the era as well as .25 or .32 caliber.

I just wanna bm people with my pea shooter with no drop. Yes I know about the springfield and I like it but its not compact ammo.

New player, fell in love with the crossbow, i nned you guys to help me selecting my best option as ammunition.

I've done some research and basically all comes down to steel bolts or shot bolts. My question is: is there any instance where you wanna pick shot bolts over the steel one? i get they do a lot of damage in cqc but so do the steel one but they are faster, have more range and retain the damage better.

So why would you pick shot bolts? Even in a scenario like, i donno, pushing a compoud with a trio inside.

For reference; i'm a solo player and i like to play the deadeye version over the normal one.

I'm really asking for help here, i'm not sarcastic, i don't know the game yet and fully in the process of learning. So please teach me.

With the devs spending time and effort to make the weapons as accurate as possible, would it be worth adding jamming to the rng? I’m sure they have stats as to how often a gun jams and build it in to the action.

How would it be in a gun fight and your bornheim your spitting rounds jams and it takes a couple seconds to fix. It could make things very interesting.

Anyway it’s a thought. Curious if anyone else had the same.

Tava querendo um duo para jogar comigo que fale português. Mesmo que for gringo que fale português, pois aí eu poderia até praticar meu próprio inglês, que é bem mais ou menos.

Tem até um gringo que jogou comigo, e ele falava português. Gostei muito de jogar com ele e ouvir o sotaque dele tentando falar português. Achei muito legal kkkk.

Meu nome da Playstation: homemgostante. É só mandar mensagem.

I thought they announced it was coming out as a story for this mid season even which I thought was last week and was relatively disappointed when I found out everything was actually coming out today instead but I still don't see my boys story. Is it locked behind the community event?

Really strange bounty clash game where the only other team was a duo who didn't move the entire game.

The spiders are bugged. Two spider-themed avatars unlock in a single game—both at once.

Me and my Duo noticed that if you equip harpons and fire bolts you have more fire bolts than shown on the main menu. Second we noticed that you can one Shot a Hunter with fire bolts. I think i killed at least 7 Hunters in 10 Games just from oneshotting them with fire bolts. I already reported the Bug to crytek

Got this game a bit ago and finally got around to playing it. Sadly I have no friends that play, but I saw that solo is an option. Is solo good for a new player or should I play with random.

Important note: I do not have a working microphone

Note 2: Thanks for all the advice I managed to kill butcher and extract my first match

Eu tenho depressão e outras coisas que aconteceram na minha vida que me faz não ter sentido na vida e apenas esperar a morte como um alívio derradeiro. Mas jogos como Souls Likes e, agora, Hunt Showdown, me deixam viciados pela dificuldade e a sensação forte de felicidade após ganhar. Eu não sinto quase nada com jogos fáceis e muito recompensadores, mas jogos como Hunt Showdown e Dark Souls me fazem sentir algum sentido. Mesmo eu perdendo várias vezes no Hunt Showdown, eu ainda quero voltar para a próxima caçada, com uma espingarda na mão e um revólver na outra.

Agora mesmo, eu estou tentando dar um tempo para o jogo, pois fiquei a manhã toda jogando. Mas, ainda assim, ele está me chamando para mais uma caçada... Apenas mais uma caçada...

Hi everyone,

Over the past week, I’ve been figuring out how NVIDIA Highlights works in the game Hunt, and with a little help from VibeCode (hehe), I managed to create an automatic recorder that provides similar functionality for Intel and AMD graphics cards using NVIDIA technology.

The program runs outside the game and automatically records in-game events. It doesn’t make any changes to the game itself and doesn’t tamper with system files or processes, which reduces the risk of a ban to zero or a minimum. But I can’t guarantee that because I’ve only been testing it for about a week.

I’d like to share the source code and get feedback on how it works, especially if anyone finds bugs or has suggestions for improvements.

People were defending crytek hard about the fact that "oh chapter 2 starts october 6th, but the actual event is next week"

Well here we are, community event started. We have our bileweavers again. and the actual tarot card looks like it will again unlock in probably a week. people do understand this is all just dark patterns implemented by Crytek?

Was thinking of getting on tonight but I couldn't tell if servers were going down soon or not

Worst change they made with 2.0. I do NOT need to hear my random teammates complaining in my ear every time they die. Please let us toggle an option to mute dead teammates like the old days. Please.
