Fights where other hunters are the deadlier threat
You hunt monsters for bounty, but every other team wants the same prize, so rival hunters end up the bigger danger. Many wait in ambush rather than push, so a quiet spot can turn on a single shot. One bullet can end a long match, which keeps every corner and doorway tense. The gunplay feels satisfying.
A ravaged West built on sound and dread
This is an extraction shooter about taking bounties from monsters in corrupted backwaters of the American West. The land is broken and crawling with misshapen monsters. Sound is vital for spotting monsters and enemy hunters, from warning cries to movement nearby. The atmosphere draws you in.
Hunters and loadouts shaped your way
Your kit is yours to put together from weapons, gear and abilities. Weapons range from fine firearms to improvised hammers, so your kit can look careful or brutal. Pick from gunslingers, fanatics and far-flung veterans, then level up your Hunter. With hundreds of unlocks and customisations for Hunters and gear, your Hunter starts to feel like yours.
Large maps and weather that changes matches
There are four large maps, including Mammon's Gulch and Lawson Delta. Weather such as wildfires and heavy rain changes how a match plays. Matches can be played solo, in duos or in trios, so you can hunt alone or share the risk. It is the kind of game long-time players keep playing for hundreds of hours.
Good to know?
Do I fight monsters or other hunters most?
Both, but other hunters matter more. You track and kill monsters for the bounty, then every nearby team comes for the same prize. Expect standoffs and ambushes where one shot can decide it.
How important is sound?
Very. Monster cries, barking dogs and careless movement give positions away. Move quietly, hold fire when you can, and use what you hear to decide when to push or wait.
What can I change about my hunter?
A lot. Pick from gunslingers, fanatics and legendary warriors, build loadouts from weapons, gear and abilities, level up your Hunter, and work through hundreds of unlocks and customisations.
