Crytek Unveils Developer Insights on the Future of Bounty Clash Mode in Hunt: Showdown 1896

According to a recent developer update, Crytek has announced that “Bounty Clash is thriving and will be sustained through 2025,” which means this game mode isn’t likely to disappear anytime in the near future. The blog post also shares the developers’ strategies for Bounty Clash’s upcoming developments.

Dear Hunters,

We’ve been keeping a close eye on your valuable feedback and relevant data to enhance Bounty Clash for you. Let me share some insights about its current state and our vision for its future development:

1. Current Status: We are observing how the game is being played and receiving feedback from you, which helps us identify areas that need improvement.

To provide a concise summary for you, the developers have outlined their strategies to tackle various elements within the game mode. These areas include rewards, diversity in compounds, Matchmaking Rating (MMR) and statistical differentiation, among other factors. For a comprehensive understanding, I recommend reading the entire post linked above.

Crytek aims to address significant concerns in the Bounty Clash mode using player input. Previously, there were not enough incentives given when players successfully extracted with the Bounty Token. To rectify this, they’ve added bonuses for solo and duo players, as well as an increased reward for the token itself, known as the Flat Bounty Bonus. These adjustments have proven beneficial, and Crytek continues to analyze feedback and game statistics to further optimize rewards if needed.

To counteract the monotonous use of restricted compounds, Crytek is aiming to incorporate fresh compounds that align with the game’s balance and specifications. They intend to frequently update the compound selection according to player feedback. Moreover, they are engaged in dividing Bounty Clash’s Matchmaking Rank (MMR) and statistics from Bounty Hunt, a move that should aid in addressing ongoing issues faced by players.

In the future, adjustments will involve decreasing the highest permissible team count in Bounty Clash from 5 to 4 and lessening the number of players from 12 to 9. The goal is to minimize confusion and encourage more tactical play among smaller groups.

100% thrilled about the latest update and behind-the-scenes info on Clash! I’m really fond of this game mode, though hearing that teams will shrink is a bummer since I adore the frenetic excitement of Bounty Clash. However, I’ve got faith there’ll still be plenty of action to go around. Thanks for sharing the insights!

Ultimately, the developer pointed out that frequently employed weapons in the game include the Scottfield, Nagant M1895, Frontier 73C, Bow, 1865 Carbine, and Sparks LRR. These updates and interesting tidbits suggest that Bounty Clash is a priority for developers, and their open dialogue with players is greatly valued. We’re thrilled to follow the progress of Bounty Clash and Bounty Hunt as they maintain momentum leading into 2025.
