Hunt: Showdown 1896 Update 2.0.2 Patch Notes and Progression

Hunt: Showdown 1896 Update 2.0.2 adds new weapons and custom ammo to bloodline progression, restores missing shaders, and fixes crash bugs.

Update 2.0.2 is live for Hunt: Showdown 1896, introducing weapons and custom ammunition to standard progression alongside various technical fixes.

Progression Additions

New weapons, variants, and custom ammo types enter regular progression. The 1865 Carbine and its Full Metal Jacket ammo unlock at Bloodline Rank 1, alongside Crossbow Steel Bolts, Drilling High Velocity, Infantry 73L, Marathon High Velocity and Incendiary ammo, and Martini-Henry High Velocity. Variant unlocks include the Crossbow Deadeye and Infantry 73L Sniper. Bear Traps now unlock at Bloodline Rank 35, and weekly challenges are updated.

Bug Fixes

The patch restores missing shaders that required the temporary removal of specific hunter and item skins. A bug that blocked Xbox players from completing the tutorial due to fire issues is fixed. Attempting to purchase a hunter slot no longer returns players to the lobby without the slot, and region changes now apply without restarting the client.

World and Audio

A collision issue blocking shots in O'Donovan Stone is corrected. Poison barrels now play audio before exploding, shadows render properly, and low-frequency crash bugs are resolved.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.0.2 expands baseline weapon availability while resolving missing shaders, progression bugs, and audio errors.
