Hunt: Showdown Update 1.14.1 is live, adding new weapons and variants from the Tide of Corruption event into regular progression alongside matchmaking adjustments.
Crytek has released Update 1.14.1 for Hunt: Showdown. This patch integrates the weapons and variants introduced during the Tide of Corruption event directly into the regular progression trees and the Book of Weapons, while introducing initial tweaks to matchmaking.
Regular Progression Unlocks
New rifle variants are now accessible in standard progression, including the Berthier Mle 1892 Marksman, Springfield 1866 Bayonet, Springfield High Velocity Ammo, Vetterli 71 Karabiner Cyclone, and Winfield M1876 Centennial Dumdum Ammo. Pistol additions include the Bornheim No. 3 Silencer, Caldwell Conversion Uppercut Precision and its Deadeye variant, Nagant M1895 and Officer Dumdum ammo types, and Scottfield Model 3 Dumdum and High Velocity rounds. The Baseball Bat is now unlocked at Bloodline Rank 1.
Tools and Consumables
Additional tactical options join the unlock trees. The Derringer Pennyshot is available as the second unlock in the Quad Derringer tree, and the Fire Beetle joins as the third unlock in the Stalker Beetle tree.
Matchmaking Adjustments
Small adjustments have been implemented to the matchmaking system to address common community complaints regarding lobby balance and queue behavior.
Why this patch matters
Update 1.14.1 successfully transitions event gear into permanent loadout options while laying groundwork for ongoing matchmaking improvements.
