Hunt: Showdown’s biggest live event yet begins today, with new gameplay, more story, an all-new evolving legendary hunter – the “Viper” – and much more.
Running for 60 days through September 25th, the Serpent Moon Live Event will bring a supernatural plague of serpents to the bayou. The deadly reptiles appear in caves throughout the bayou, players must capture them and sacrifice them on altars. This is dangerous because the snakes will attack the hunters if they make too much noise.
The players now have to make a decision: plunder and sacrifice the snakes in a time-consuming manner and thus get a lot of event points and bigger rewards, or simply kill the beasts one following the other in the flow, but hunt fewer points per reptile.
Hunters can equip three new, very useful event skills. Animal Mask reduces the snakes’ range of action and allows players to get closer. Snake increases the distance from which snakes can be sacrificed, and Poison Sense identifies nearby poisoned players when using Shadow Sight. Players will also be rewarded for investigating special trails and rifts, defeating particularly powerful bosses, and more.
Weapons and Blood Tokens are just some of the rewards up for grabs during the event. Story-wise, Serpent Moon continues the story of the previous live event, Traitor’s Moon. As the events in the bayou unfold during the event, audiobooks will be released on popular streaming platforms and Hunt’s social media channels to allow fans to experience the story outside of the actual game.
All players participating in the “Serpent Moon” event can play with a new legendary hunter, the “Viper”. For the first time in Hunt, this unique character will visually evolve through various stages as players progress through the game. The number of stages the viper goes through depends on the path the player chooses. A new Battle Pass system – “The Gilded Path” – allows players to choose between a free, standard and premium path.
The free option offers two tiers, as well as the opportunity to earn weapons and blood tokens throughout the event. The standard Battle Pass for the Gilded Path offers all the free tier content, four evolution levels, more unlockable weapons and rewards, and blood token cashback. The premium tier offers all the content of the standard option plus 3000 Event Points to speed up progression. Whichever path players choose, they are guaranteed to receive two new weapons: the Romero 77 Alamo “Coluber” shotgun and the “Snakeshot” Sparks pistol!
All players can earn up to 11 rewards during the 60 days of Serpent Moon. There are boosters, blood tokens and weapons up for grabs, including the “Antosha” Caldwell Conversion chain pistol and the “Lucidus” Vetterli 71 carbine silencer. Players who choose the Gilded Path Standard and Premium Battle Pass can unlock an additional 17 rewards, including the new Snake Oil Protection antidote shot and the Winfield M1873 Swift Slither rifle.
A Serpent Moon Bundle will be released to coincide with the Serpent Moon Live Event, containing the DLCs They Came from Salem and the brand new The Prescient. When players play as these hunters, they will benefit from an event point boost and new legendary weapons. Players can get another Event Boost with three new Event Traits that come with the activation of the new “Mr. Chary’s Contracts” can be stacked.
