Blood Testament Chapter 2 Patch Notes

Hunt: Showdown 1896 · published 6 Oct 2026, 14:59 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

[Highlights]

Inferno Returns

The Inferno Time of Day is back to Hunt, bringing wildfires raging across all maps. It comes with reduced visibility due to heavy smoke and wildfires in affected areas. Wildfires are fixed in location, blocking key traversal paths and forcing new route planning. AI will generally avoid wildfire zones, but if necessary, enemies may follow players through the flames or take shortcuts across them. Inferno will remain part of the active Time of Day Rotation throughout Chapters 2 and 3.

Firefighter Supply

  • This type of supply only appears during the Inferno Time of Day.

  • Find valuable rewards such as the Flame Rifle, Scouting Map, or Tarot Cards.

Flame Rifle

  • Scarce Weapon that releases pressurized liquid producing a steady burst of flames.

  • They are guaranteed to be found at the Firefighter Supply

[Upcoming Updates]

All Hallows’ Cleave Community Event

The All Hallow’s Cleave Community Event consists of 5 Stages. Players will progress the Community Event by earning Community Event Points which is done by completing objectives in matches.

Stage 1: New Tarot Card: The Atlas

  • Reveals all hidden locations on the map.

Stage 3: New Tarot Card: The Temperance

  • Restores the last Trait lost by your hunter this mission.

  • Dev Note: Using the card also returns traits lost to Siphon, not just burn traits.

Stage 5: New Tool: Long Derringer

  • A small single-shot pistol that fires Long Ammo, which deals high damage with a reduced velocity and short drop range. More accurate from short to medium range.

Monsters

Bileweavers & Bloodweavers

The Flame Rifle will come in handy as the Bileweavers are making their comeback in Chapter 2. They have infested 20 new Compounds across all maps, 5 of which will be selected for each match.

We are also introducing their deadlier relatives, the Bloodweavers.

  • They are Bileweaver variations that cause Bleeding damage with their jump attack and egg-hatching.

  • Players can identify them by their red-colored body.

  • The color of Bileweaver Eggs has changed to better reflect their poisonous nature, and Bloodweaver Eggs inherit the red-colored ones with spikes.

  • They are only present during the Blood Moon Time of Day.

Bileweavers, Bloodweavers, and the infected new Compounds will all arrive with All Hallows’ Cleave on Oct 13th.
