Crytek Releases Update 6.0 for Hunt: Showdown

Crytek has released Update 6.0 for their multiplayer, bounty hunting game, Hunt: Showdown. Like most updates, this one comes with new weapons, balances changes, enemies and more.

All of the new additions should be welcomed by fans. I especially like the Bomb Lance and the trip mines. The new traits are cool. The biggest addition is a new boss character though. Called The Assassin, this enemy is able to materialize from a swarm of bugs in order to ambush players. He can also spawn a pair of clones before sneaking around for the killing blow. He’s basically a creepy jerk that’s hard to take down. Awesome.

Hunt: Showdown gets better with each update. I’d imagine it’ll be releasing out of Early Access soon; maybe with the launch of the Xbox One version? Whatever the case, it seems solid enough right now.

Hunt: Showdown is currently available in Early Access on Steam. It’ll be released on the Xbox One sometime this spring.
