A New Hellscape: Mammon’s Gulch
Our brand-new map, Mammon’s Gulch, drags you into a brutal, unforgiving landscape with a battleground that tests every ounce of a Hunter’s tactical knowledge.

Beyond graphical improvements, reimagined the UI, and enhanced the audio and lighting to drag you deeper into the immersion of Hunt.
New Wild Target: Hellborn
As if the treacherous terrain wasn’t enough, a new Wild Target roams these cursed lands—the Hellborn.
An amalgam of fire and flesh, Hellborn stalks the mountains until provoked into explosive response. Posing an entirely new threat, the Hellborn moves frantically to unleash an unrelenting assault against trespassing Hunters, scorching everything in its considerable reach.
Be warned—the Hellborn is best dispatched quickly, as its raging howls attract the attention of other Hunters across the Gulch, multiplying the threat minute by minute.
Scorched Earth Event
With the launch of Hunt: Showdown 1896, we’re unleashing a new event, Scorched Earth.
Hunters are invited to face the fire to earn new equipment, ammo, and weapons, including the 1865 Carbine, the Infantry 73L base rifle with a sniper variant, Bear Traps as a new Tool, and a Crossbow Deadeye scoped variant.
We’re also welcoming a completely new Weekly Challenge system to better support players joining the action mid-event, as well as a Battle Pass full of both free and premium rewards are available to unlock.
A Word to the Wise
So, Hunters, the time has come. Strap on your gear, load your weapons, and steel your nerves. Mammon’s Gulch and all its atrocities await, filled with horrors that defy description and enemies that will stop at nothing to claim your bounty.
Hunt: Showdown 1896 is here, and it’s not just a launch – it’s a call to arms. Will you answer?
