“Why 40% of Hunt: Showdown Players Have Never Killed Another Player”

Hunt: Showdown is characterized by high inaccessibility, but few would say that almost 40% of all players did not kill their first player. David Fifield, general manager of the Hunt series commented on the whole situation around the relatively low number of successful players in an interview for the server PC Gamer as follows: “In Hunt we have an achievement called Debut. He stands on the idea of ​​killing his first enemy hunter. 40% of our players never get it. We’re a PvP game where you come in, do some stuff, and 40% of people who try Hunt have never killed another player.“

You die a lot here, and as a result, you never know where the projectile came from. There is a lot of discussion about balance here. Here again, Fifield chose to comment: “Balance is tricky. In chess, someone has to move first, so the pursuit of that perfectly fair, perfectly balanced thing? The most experienced always wins and it’s actually not that interesting to watch anymore.“

The total value of 40% of all players who have ever played Hunt: Showdown is also defined by testers on various free weekends, so it is not impossible that a large percentage of players simply tested the game and subsequently found that perhaps it was not for them. This is definitely not a piece aimed at the majority of players. However, it is without a doubt one of the most interesting FPS on the market.
