Hunt: Showdown 1896 Patch 2.4.0.2 Fixes Ammo Swap Exploit and Charm Display

Hunt: Showdown 1896 Update 2.4.0.2 arrives with critical fixes for a long-range compact ammo exploit and missing event charms.

Crytek has deployed a targeted hotfix for Hunt: Showdown 1896. Version 2.4.0.2 addresses a significant weapon exploit and restores missing cosmetic items to standard matchmaking queues.

Exploit Resolution

A prominent exploit allowing compact ammo to be replaced with buckshot has been resolved. Players can no longer fire long-range buckshot while retaining their compact ammunition counts.

Charm Visibility Fix

An issue where charms earned from the Judgement of the Fool Event displayed properly in the Shooting Range but failed to appear during standard Bounty Hunt missions has been fixed.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.4.0.2 is a targeted maintenance patch that closes a balance loophole and cleans up event cosmetics.
