Hunt: Showdown
Hunt combat
Hunt: Showdown combat is short. This page covers first shots, lane holds, and resets around clues.
Pick the first shot
Win the first angle. Hunt players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on boss lairs.
Keep the crosshair at the height the next player will appear. Fancy movement is slower than a ready lane.
Hold a lane
One lane is enough. Cover sound traps and let teammates take the rest.
Easy Anti-Cheat updates do not change this: a calm hold still beats a panic swing.
Reset after the spray
After the spray, reload behind cover and count steps. bayou compounds, bosses, and dark-sight extracts punishes people who chase while empty.
If the fight is even, leave. extracts is still there on the next pass.
