Showdown released a major update with custom ammunition – Igromania

Developers from the studio Crytek released update 1.5 for their co-op first-person shooter Hunt: Showdown… The main innovation is custom ammunition.

Each type of ammunition has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some got better penetration, but reduced muzzle velocity and limited damage. Others deal fire damage and can detonate explosive barrels with a single shot, but got a noticeable tracer and no penetration.

The authors note that not all types of weapons can use any type of custom ammunition. In this case, the shells must be unlocked first, and the cartridges can be changed only in the lobby, but not during the mission. Once equipped, custom ammo completely replaces standard ammo in the next mission.

However, all single-shot weapons have received an improvement that allows you to keep two types of ammunition in the store at once. Custom ammo can only be replenished from new special purple ammo boxes, as well as from ammunition boxes that can be equipped before a mission.

In addition, in Update 1.5 players will find new weapons: Winfield 1876 “Century” and the legendary Winfield 1876 “Century”, Winfield 1887 “Terminus” and the legendary Winfield 1887 “Terminus”, as well as Winfield 1887 Terminus “Bruiser”.

Finally, players are expected to change the balance, various improvements and bug fixes. A full list of custom ammo and other new features can be found here.
