The Hunt Showdown Traitor’s Moon event is now live across all platforms, and along with it comes new tasks and rewards for all the players who want to take them; and there are some juicy ones, of course! Check out the rundown on this newest event for Hunt Showdown below.

Here’s what’s awaiting Hunters in Traitor’s Moon, the latest event for Hunt Showdown:

Every full moon, her immortal light would fall on New Orleans, and the crickets and fireflies would dance in the spotlight. But just as the Moon has dictated the turn of tides for millennia, the Sculptor began to dictate the Moon’s influence on Earth. The Moon’s light cast a spotlight onto people whose hearts were already starting to become twisted by the Sculptor. Mother caused harm to child, brother betrayed brother, and others let their minds wander into madness and desperation. Those who knew the power of both the Sculptor and the Moon began to plot and use the twisting of people’s hearts to their advantage. “

Hunters, we sit between the passing of the Worm Moon and the rise of the Pink Moon. And down on the killing fields of Louisiana, the changing of the seasons from winter to spring sees a new rising darkness. Effigies, rifts, and strange clues are brought forth across the bayou under the influence of a Traitor’s Moon, along with story and secrets about My Chary’s ambitions for manipulating the corruption… But at this time of year, hope springs eternal too, and light can be found in the bountiful rewards on offer for those Hunters ready to face and conquer new challenges during the 21 days of The Traitor’s Moon Event.

Yes, our first event of 2022 goes live on March 24th and runs until April 14 ^th. And to mark the occasion, we have also released a new DLC pack, The Meridian Turncoat, including a new Legendary Hunter, The Turncoat, two Legendary weapons, and a Legendary Ammo Box.

The event gives you the chance to unlock four new weapons which are currently in Early Access – the Scottfield Brawler, Berthier Riposte, Caldwell Model 92 New Army, and Winfield Model 93 Slate – plus new Legendary Skins for weapons and equipment. For those who unlocked the weapon during the event the weapon will remain unlocked after the full release regardless of their Bloodline level. If the player prestiges after the full release, they will need to unlock the weapon from the Bloodline as usual. If the player prestiges during the early-access period, the weapon should remain unlocked. For those who didn’t unlock the four weapons in Early Access, they won’t be made available until the next update, so now’s a great time to play and slay with these guns first.

In order to collect all the rewards offered, you have to obtain 10,000 points by completing the following tasks:

• • Destroying Small Orwellian Effigies – 4 Event Points
• • Destroying Large Orwellian Effigies – 8 Event Points
• • Investigating Clues and Rifts – 12 Event Points
• • Destroying Effigies dropped by bosses – 4 Event Points for each Effigy dropped
• • Loot Hunter Corpses – 20 Event Points
• • Extract with one bounty – 30 Event Points

Crytek also mentioned some ways to help you boost your progress through the event:

If you have a Chary’s Contract active, you can earn a 50% Event Point booster plus an extra 20 meters Dark Sight boost.

Play with a Hunter who has The Signee Trait active – an event-only trait- and you will receive a further 10% Event Point booster, and your Dark Sight will increase by 3 meters.

Selected Legendary Hunters are boosted to accelerate your progress through the event. You’ll receive a 10% Event Point booster and a further 3-meter Dark Vision boost by playing as the following: The Turncoat, Kid, The Rat , Llorona’s Heir

Boosters of different types are stackable for the duration of the event. For instance, if you have purchased Chary’s Contract and play with one of the above Legendary Hunters with The Signee Trait activated, you can earn the maximum possible boost in the bayou.

With the prospect of overcoming these tasks come some very special rewards, all of which you can check out listed below:

If you earn all 10,000 points and make a clean sweep of the rewards on offer, keep on playing and additional Event Points earned will be turned into Hunt dollars after the event is over.

With the launch of this new event is also another DLC called The Meridian Turncoat. This pack includes”Turncoat,” a new Legendary Hunter who was sent to war but found himself falsely accused of being a traitor after being the sole survivor of an ambush. Cast out from his former life as a soldier, and with his mind set on revenge, he headed to Louisiana to join the American Hunter’s Association. The new DLC Pack also includes two Legendary Weapons, a pair of Dolch 96 pistols named Crossfire and Ambush, plus a new Legendary Ammo Crate – Red Cask. This new DLC is available now on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation stores for $9.99.

Players will have now until April 14 to try and gun for all these great rewards in Hunt Showdown Traitor’s Moon, so be sure to try for them if you’re interested. In case you missed it, Crytek also dropped a patch on consoles earlier that addressed some sensitivity issues, and you can read the full patch notes here.
