Hunt: Showdown Hides Every Extraction Point on the Map in Its September 8 Blood Testament Update

Crytek's Update 2.9 for Hunt: Showdown 1896 arrives September 8 with the Blood Testament event. All extraction points, supply points, and scout towers now start hidden on the map, revealed only by finding a Clue or a Scouting Map. The patch also adds a Fair Play Follow Up system that refunds Hunt Dollars, the in-game currency, when a death is confirmed to be a cheater's doing. Traits become saveable in loadouts and Hunter slots rise from 75 to 100.

  1. Hidden extraction points: the best extraction twist in years, or a solo player's nightmare?
  2. Refunding Hunt Dollars for cheater deaths: real fix, or an admission the anti-cheat is losing?
  3. Is Hunt: Showdown 1896 in its best shape ever, or coasting on events?
  4. Would hidden exits work in Tarkov or Delta Force, or just cause more deaths at the door?
