Monster hunting survival horror game Hunt: Showdown received a small update for its Test Server. The Update 1.3 Patch #3 makes some much-needed changes in the game, especially in the UI department. Some audio and gameplay tweaks were also made. Server crash issues have been resolved and multiple bugs were also addressed.
The update applies the ear ringing effect to legendary weapons correctly and the Nitro Express scope time is now more in line with other rifles. Many irrelevant texts were removed from the UI, and the damage history page has been drastically improved. Background for graveyard is now more gritty and dark and the cause of death will display correct items.
All the changes are only made in the Test Server, so we'll have to wait to see what the live game update will look like. You can read the patch notes below or on the official site.
