Hunt: Showdown has released its update 1.11 patch, which includes a variety of new features and improvements. In terms of audio, the update has implemented a subtle cue to indicate the location of other Hunter footsteps when they are on the same level, above, or below the player. This cue is only audible when the player is in the same building as the other Hunter and when they are moving over a wooden floor. The update also includes an audio design improvement pass on door sounds, making them sound more natural and believable.
In terms of gunplay, the update has optimized flashbangs to prevent rare situations where players might receive a hitmarker for a successful full flash, but the enemy does not receive a full flash. The update has also increased the effective range of the Winfield M1873C Silencer, Vetterli 71 Karabiner Silencer, and Sparks LRR Silencer. The Caldwell Pax and Pax Claw have also received an increase in fire rate and a decrease in upwards recoil while using the Fanning trait.
The update has also made several changes to the world, including making it easier to pick up desired weapons in cases where multiple weapons are close together on the ground and creating new holes for Stalker Beetles to enter and maneuver in all maps. In addition, it is now possible to jump over dry branches without breaking them.
In terms of map changes, the update has made adjustments to pre-placed Stalker Beetle cocoon positions and improved options for getting into the Boss Lair on the Stanley Coal Company map.
