Yee haw, buckle up, root and also toot, for the Devil’s Moon event has kicked off inHunt Showdown. The event sees Crytek’s excellent multiplayer cowboy sneak ‘em up periodically set fire to big parts of each map, where you blow up creepy bleedy statues for points that unlock new weapons and traits.

That fire immunity will come in handy during “wildcard” infernos, which will trigger “on select days” during the event.
There’s also a battle pass, and some wildly overpriced cosmetic DLC. You can check out the full patch notes over onthe Steam update page..
