The Hunt: Showdown 1896 2.2 update introduces Post Malone’s Murder Circus as its centerpiece, featuring circus compounds scattered across the map. These compounds house the HelioStone, a vital item players must collect while fending off terrifying enemies, including the two-headed Ursa Mortis and carnival-themed Circus Grunts.

Players will also gain access to powerful new weapons, such as the Shredder, a sawblade launcher, and the Chu Ko Nu, a repeating crossbow. Additional weapon variants, including the Krag and Sparks Pistol Silencer, expand combat possibilities.

New equipment like the Recovery Shot consumable and Subsonic Ammo type adds even more depth to the gameplay. At the same time, improvements such as enhanced silencers and custom weapon animations refine the overall experience.
