Epitome via Crytek

Ane of the best aspects of Hunt: Showdown is its unique, weird west setting and engrossing lore. Set in the aftermath of a mysterious viral outbreak in 1895 Louisiana, Hunt: Showdown has players fighting back against a malign entity known as the Sculptor and its many terrifying, inhuman (and occasionally, human) agents. Within this framework, the game builds a sprawling narrative of seemingly asunder events and characters. The lore of Chase: Showdown is deep and fascinating, and uncovering it tin accept some work.

There are three principal places in Hunt: Showdown where the curious can explore the game'south lore. The first and almost accessible is the Store. Every Legendary weapon and hunter skin in the game has a short description that gives u.s. insight into Hunt's setting or the characters. This source or lore is the shallowest and only becomes relevant later on you've spent some time exploring the other ii: the Book of Monsters and the Book of Weapons. Both are found in the Library section — found at the top right corner of the home screen — under the titles Liber de Monstrorvm and Liber de Armamentariis, respectively.

To unlock Book of Monster entries, you lot need to impale certain types of AI enemies repeatedly, and to unlock Book of Weapons entries, you need to use each weapon, tool, and consumable in the game a certain number of times. Very few of these entries are unproblematic descriptions of items; more than often than non, they are short stories and vignettes that somewhen converge on each other, revealing a bigger narrative.

There is a shortcut for those too hungry for Hunt: Showdown lore to invest the time unlocking Volume entries. Community site Fandom contains (almost) all Chase: Showdown Book entries. There is also a Hunt: Showdown TV series in the works, which will shed more calorie-free on the game'south earth and characters.
