A New Game Mode: Bounty Clash

Presenting Bounty Clash, a brand-new experimental game mode where quick reflexes are essential. To access the randomly generated compound where players spawn, players must defeat opposing teams. Inside, there will be a dead boss target that is ready to be banished and a token that may be picked up. Games are brutally fast-paced, requiring you to eliminate opponents, sprint to the token, and complete the extraction process in under 15 minutes!

The stakes are stronger than ever because hunters will enter the game mode based on their roster. With one of the gorgeous compounds from Stillwater Bayou or Mammon’s Gulch—which have been specially tailored for the mode—you will be fighting across. The MMR of each player will be used to match them with other players; the results of Bounty Clash matches will not influence this process.

Hurry, battle, pull out, and repeat! Savor the excitement of this exclusive, brand-new game mode!

Harvest of Ghosts Event

A new era of corruption has begun, with two Incursions active for the first time since they were first recorded. Harvest of Ghosts is a new and evil season brought forth by these extraordinary circumstances.

A new Hunter known as “Harvest” has tampered with Dark Sight’s energies, taking on the role of its “avatar,” and he grows more powerful as the Harvest of Ghosts is destroyed. He created rare tools like Dark Dynamite and Satchel, which Hunters can purchase for a hefty sum. He has attracted a wide range of Hunters who would use the Corruption as a weapon and acquire evil abilities through the Pact of Omens.

In the Harvest of Ghosts terrible autumn, where any Hunter can be consigned to their death or resurrected from it, the three Pacts battle it out for existence.

Harvest of Ghosts offers fascinating new features and pacts to seek: Showdown 1896 as players seek for Event Points for progress and Pledge Marks used to unlock new powers. As the event progresses, players will have access to new gear and weaponry as well as numerous other goodies.
