Crytek deployed Update 1.15.1 for Hunt: Showdown 1896, moving multiple items and new variants straight into regular player progression and the Book of Weapons.
New Weapons and Variants
The Drilling weapon family expands with the Drilling Handcannon as its 3rd unlock and the Drilling Hatchet as its 6th unlock. The LeMat Mark II Carbine Marksman arrives as the 7th unlock for its family. The Winfield M1873 family gains Poison Ammo at rank 4, while the Winfield M1873C gets Poison Ammo at rank 3. The Winfield M1876 Centennial receives High Velocity Ammo as its 9th unlock.
Pistols and Melee Additions
Pistols receive numerous additions across families. The Caldwell Conversion Uppercut gains Full Metal Jacket Ammo, while the Caldwell Pax adds High Velocity Ammo and the Trueshot variant. The Dolch 96 family expands with the Claw variant, Deadeye variant, Dumdum Ammo, and Full Metal Jacket Ammo. The Katana is available immediately at Bloodline Rank 1.
Trait Adjustments
The Martialist trait is tied to Bloodline Rank 28, granting direct access to the trait upon reaching that rank instead of awarding Hunt Dollars.
