Quickplay: A Faster Alternative

Learn how to play Hunt: Showdown's Quickplay mode. This guide covers the objective, mechanics, and essential tips for a faster, more intense experience in the Bayou.

Quickplay offers a faster, more streamlined experience in Hunt: Showdown, focusing on a race against other players to secure a bounty. This mode is ideal for players looking for a quicker match or wanting to level up their hunters efficiently.

Objective:

  1. Locate and collect four Rifts scattered across the map.
  2. The first player to collect four Rifts becomes the Wellspring.
  3. As the Wellspring, absorb its energy while fending off other hunters.
  4. The last hunter standing as the Wellspring wins.

Key Differences from Bounty Hunt:

  • No boss monster to banish.
  • Focus is on collecting Rifts and surviving as the Wellspring.
  • Hunters start with random loadouts.
  • Permadeath is in effect, and hunters cannot be revived by teammates.
Tips for Quickplay
  • Listen Carefully: Sound is crucial. Pay attention to footsteps, gunshots, and environmental noises to track other players.
  • Prioritize Rifts: Your primary goal is to find and secure Rifts. Don't get bogged down in unnecessary fights early on.
  • Master Movement: Efficient movement is key. Utilize sprinting, vaulting, and ladder climbing effectively.
  • Know Your Loadout: Since loadouts are random, familiarize yourself with various weapons and tools quickly.
  • Play the Wellspring: If you become the Wellspring, use the environment to your advantage. Find defensible positions and be aware of your surroundings.
  • Be Aggressive (When Appropriate): While caution is advised, don't be afraid to engage when you have the advantage, especially when others are distracted.
