Hunt: Showdown's weirdest-ever update has just landed

Old-timey extraction shooter Hunt: Showdown (or Hunt: Showdown 1896, to use its more formal name as of the 2.0 update) is not something we'd reasonably describe as a 'normie' shooter. Creepy hoarder bosses who throw balls of barbed wire at you, giant beetles that you can use as exploding drones, and a commitment to slow, suspenseful play that intermittently explodes into intense gunfights with revolvers, rifles, and bazooka-spears—these aren't things you'll find out there in the world of war shooters or hero shooters.

But even by Hunt: Showdown's standards, the 2.2 update that's just dropped is pretty out there. We have Post Malone as a circus ringmaster, we have a new circus compound, we have a sawblade launcher, and we have a new mini-boss in the form of a mutant two-headed bear. Come one, come all, to the most outlandish Hunt update on Earth.
