History VideoGame / HuntShowdown

** The Caldwell Uppercut is a revolver pistol that fires long rifle ammo, having nearly the damage and range of said long rifles. However, since it's a pistol and not a rifle, it has massive recoil per shot, is slow to fire, and sways much more than a rifle with a stock.

* OneBulletClips: Averted, since most of the guns are 19th century firearms and actually would function by "topping off the bullet reserve" in real life. The only gun this doesn't apply to is the derringer, which ''does'' lose all remaining bullets still in the gun when you reload it.

* DropTheHammer:
** One ImprovisedWeapon that can be found in the environment is a two-handed sledgehammer.
** The Nagant Obrez Mace is a variant of the shortened Nagant Obrez with a heavy striking weight added to the stock, explicitly for the purpose of melee bashing.

** [[ShovelStrike Shovels]], woodcutting axes, and [[DropTheHammer sledgehammers]] can be picked up and used as heavy melee weapons, and [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks the Tomahawk trait will let you throw them short distances]].

* KatanasAreJustBetter: The Tide of Desolation event added the katana to the arsenal. It's quick, devastating and doesn't use up much stamina. With it came the Martialist trait, which turns any katana-wielder into an IaidoPractitioner and gives additional damage for the first strike when the blade is drawn from the scabbard.

''Hunt: Showdown'' is a {{horror|VideoGames}} and [[TheWestern Western]]-themed [[FirstPersonShooter FPS]] set in a late 19th century Louisiana bayou, developed by Creator/{{Crytek}} and released on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} Early Access on 22nd February, 2018.

** Several guns, such as the Specter 1882 and the Mosin Nagant rifles will eject perfectly good bullets if they're reloaded with a round already chambered. This can be circumvented using a trait called “Bulletgrubber” which allows the ejected ammo to be caught in midair, but still requires that it be loaded, so reloading after a single shot will still mean having to load two bullets. A feature added in version 1.8 allows players to reload immediately after firing, thus avoiding ejecting an unused round.

** The cabin from ''Film/EvilDead'' can be found in the Stillwater Bayou map, just north of Cyprus Huts.

* AcceptableBreaksFromReality: The developers generally try to maintain a high level of realism with the guns in this game, but have deliberately simplified certain aspects:
** Ammo is divided into three calibers: short, medium, and long. Carrying two different weapons of the same caliber will allow them to share ammo pools. In reality cartridges were significantly less standardized in the 1800s compared to now, so a Winchester 1873 for example would absolutely not be able to share ammo with a Nagant revolver.
** Bullet drop was left out of game since the devs figured there was already enough information that players had to process (bullet velocity, penetration, damage drop over distance, etc).
** The Revenant is an undead Hunter with a see-through fist-sized hole in his chest. However, shooting through the hole will still cause him to take damage as it will be unfair advantage otherwise.

* SelfImposedChallenge: The Revenant, a Legendary Hunter with snow-white skin and shirt, sticks out like a sore thumb on any map at any time of day. Playing as him means willingly putting yourself at a severe disadvantage in a game where stealth is of the utmost importance.
