Crytek’s first-person shooter title Hunt: Showdown has received its first major update and includes addresses a substantial amount of changes and bug fixes, adds new equipment and gameplay features. Oh yeah, and it offers players $4000 of in-game money as a way to apologize to players for all the technical problems that plagued the game in the past.
Some noteworthy changes delivered into the game includes five new variants for sniper weapons ranging from long, medium, and short-range scopes, eleven new outfits and twelve additional and unique traits, some modifications to the in-game map, tweaks to inventory slots as well as an updated Bloodline progression screen.
