Hunt: Showdown 1896 Chapter 3 patch adds the Lancaster pistol and a Europe high ping queue test
Hunt: Showdown 1896's Blood Testament Chapter 3 brings the four-barrel Lancaster pistol, a Cleaver variant, fair play changes and a high ping queue test.
Blood Testament Chapter 3 is here for Hunt: Showdown 1896 on PC, bringing a new pistol, a bigger spread of Bileweaver compounds and a few fair play improvements.
New weapons
- Lancaster: a four-barrelled, medium ammo pistol with a rotating firing pin, which gives it a high fire rate. Opening the break-action always ejects all rounds, and it can be dual-wielded.
- Lancaster Cleaver: a variant with an under-barrel blade. Its melee attacks are similar to a Heavy Knife in both swing pattern and damage, and it can also be dual-wielded.
Both versions use the same ammo options: Basic (4/12), High Velocity (4/8) and Poison (4/12).
World
- All Bileweaver Infested Compounds, new and old, have a chance to spawn in Chapter 3.
- There will be 5 compounds active per game.
Fair play and matchmaking
- You’ll get a follow-up notification when a player you reported is banned.
- If a player who later gets banned kills you, you’ll get a Hunt Dollar refund.
- In Europe, a high ping queue is being tested for the duration of Chapter 3. Players above a ping threshold are matched into a separate queue to cut down on high-latency games. If no match is found, they rejoin the regular queue.
Coming later in Chapter 3
“Reap the Harvest” is a new Community Event planned to start later in the chapter. It has 5 stages, and the whole community gets each reward. Progress comes from earning Community Event Points by completing objectives in matches.
