Hunters,
The “Inferno” Time of
Day has rolled back into the world of Hunt, bringing flames, destruction, and
blocked paths to the Incursion zones. Additionally, we’re pleased to announce
that other fiery elements are joining it, including the possibility of running
into the Hellborn on every map as well as special Supply Points that only
appear when the Inferno is searing through the bayou and gulch!
Some of the supplies
you’ll be able to find in the new Firefighter Supply include Water Bottles, Ammo,
Tool Boxes, and Tarot Cards. If you’re willing to spend some Pledge Marks,
you’ll be able to fight fire with fire, as the Flame Rifle will be attainable
from the Firefighter Supply too!
If you’ve never veered
into the flames before, you’ll need to make sure you know how to prepare for a
fire. Here are some top tips from the firefighters themselves!
When preparing to face the Inferno, bring the “Salveskin”
Trait with you—it reduces all fire damage and makes sure you don’t lose Health
Chunks too fast while tiptoeing around the Inferno’s path. If you accidentally catch yourself on fire
(this happens to even the most skilled firefighters sometimes!), you can place
a Choke Bomb and walk through the Choke Cloud while you’re burning. This will make
the burn effect stop and save you some precious health. The closer you are to the fire, the louder it
roars. This means that using the paths within the Inferno will open up some
options for sneaky rotations while fighting, due to crouching steps barely being
audible. It’s hard to spot Hunters behind the fire and
smoke, so using Dark Sight is one of the biggest advantages you can get while
fighting in the fire as audio is also limited, making it harder to track other
players. If a teammate dies and gets knocked back into
the Inferno, it’ll be nearly impossible to get them back up, since you can’t
put out the fire (even with a Choke Cloud). Their Health Chunks will slowly
burn away, so you’ll need to avoid dying at the edges of the flames if you plan
to get out of the Mission alive.
Stock up on water,
fight fire with fire, and keep an eye out for the Hellborn in this exciting new
update!
And if you’re looking to catch up on the Battle Pass, this weekend is your chance. From 10:00 CEST, 17 April to 10:00 CEST, 20 April, we’re running a Double Event Points Boost: double the event points scored in every mission.
We’ll see you in the flames,
Hunters.
