Meanwhile, the wicked Harvest of Ghosts descends upon the gulch and bayou, bringing many exciting changes and equipment for a fresh Halloween event. Harvest of Ghosts runs from October 16 until November 25, with the Bounty Clash game mode available from now until October 20, and then every weekend during the event.

Bounty Clash Game Mode

Bounty Clash is a new experimental game mode where players will spawn in a random compound with a dead Boss Target awaiting a banishment which will yield a single Bounty Token for teams to fight over. In a quick and ruthless fight, teams will be pitted against each other, rushing the Bounty Token to extract it within the 15-minute time limit.

Raising the stakes higher than before, Bounty Clash takes place within the stunning compounds of Mammon’s Gulch and Stillwater Bayou, which have been uniquely adapted for the mode. Rush – Fight – Extract – Repeat! Enjoy the thrill of this brand-new, limited-time game mode.

The game mode runs on the following dates:

Harvest of Ghosts Event

The newest Hunt: Showdown 1896 in-game event, Harvest of Ghosts, brings many exciting changes to players during the Halloween season. Pact Traits like Blast Sight (which shows the origin of gunshots and explosions in Dark Sight) and Pain Sense (which shows enemies who have been shot, lit on fire, or poisoned in Dark Sight) change the way players will approach their fights. In addition to three Pacts and new weapons such as the Bomb Launcher and Maynard Sniper, as well as new variants like the Auto-4 Shorty, Centennial Pointman, and Rival 78 Mace, the event also brings the Dark Dynamite Satchel, which can be detonated remotely through Dark Sight, as well as a Hand Crossbow Revive Bolt among many other changes, fixes, and tweaks.

About Hunt: Showdown 1896

Hunt: Showdown 1896 is the new era of the competitive first-person bounty hunting game, packing the thrill of survival and the reward of profit into a horror match-based format. Set in Colorado in 1896, the game boasts a mixture of PvP and PvE elements that create a uniquely tense experience. It's not just the monsters who are a threat—it's every Hunter on the map. In the classic Bounty Hunt game mode, a match pits 12 players—playing solo or in teams of two or three—against each other as they race to take out gruesome creatures for a Bounty they must collect and extract from the map. Hunt's Soul Survivor mode offers a shorter match for solo players to scavenge for weapons as they compete for a diminishing pool of Bounty. The higher the risk, the higher the reward–but a single mistake could cost you everything. Hunt: Showdown 1896 is out now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Series X|S.
