(400 hours) Addicted to this game. Cant say enough good about it.
This is a slow paced game with lots of PvE enemy monsters/zombies to kill along the way to objective to stay alive.
You will stumble upon other teams (PvP) on your way to the objective. Spawn and Objectives are random so you never know when you will see another team, or multiple teams at once. Headshots with any gun is a kill making all weapons viable and satisfying to use.
This is the most intense and satisfying FPS experience I have ever played.
Prepare for your palms to be sweaty and hands visibily shaking in fear of enemies and monsters.
Disclaimer!
You should study up before hopping in (or purchasing) for the best experience. Quick 20m youtube video will give you a head start.
Find teamates. Official Hunt Showdown Discord is the best place to make friends and new teamates if you dont already have friends that play. (There is also a random queue, but voice comms are unreliable because it is proximity based chat.)
