Okay Sam, you're definitely the right person for the job. I once had a dream about 'Hunt Showdown,' imagining they added a 'scream jar,' similar to a decoy but housed in a bee jar. Throwing it would emit the sound of a dying hunter. When I woke up, I experienced a Mandela effect, truly believing it was real. Excited, I started the game and began selecting a loadout, only to find the scream jar wasn’t actually there. Disappointing, but hey, you have connections. Make it happen, Sam!

Just an FYI for those who don't know: You earn event points the quickest by completing weekly gameplay challenges (I believe they're under "progress" or something). They're pretty straightforward tasks like killing certain enemies a certain way or using different guns and ammo against hunters. If you complete all of your challenges for the week, you should be able to get around 7 levels. If you bought the battle pass for 10 bucks, you get an additional level and a half, which adds up. I completed my pass through weekly challenges, collecting altars, and playing 1-3x a week for 4 weeks.

second this

[@bunkle932]

Completing challenges is the secret. Playing games normally you get like 150 event points MAX, like the dirtiest match of your life. Event levels are 1000. But if you do the silly "kill 5 ai" and do "damage with pistols" challenges, you get 750 event points, each. I was done with the event after about a week.

[@Selmak36]

After a week? then you dont did it with the challenges. The challenges of one week are worth 7500 Event Points. And you have to earn 50.000 Eventpoints. and you dont get 750 points with just one challenge, you need to do 2-3 of them. Even with the 100% Bonus weekend and a hunter with 10% and the skill with 10% thats unlikley.

[@ogfloatzel4025]

01:04 I finish most events (including this one) within the first 2 weeks and I don't even spare a whole day for it, just a few hours a day. Considering that the event lasts 60 days, it seems quite easy to complete, you just need to focus on the challenges instead of trying to collect points in game. Challenges are where you earn the most points. It was a really fun video btw 😄

[@austinin]

2:46 you can also complete the weekly challenges to boost you up 6-7 levels for free, which if you do that gives you enough points to get max level in the event pass with like 1-2 weeks of the event leftover. My friend and I have done that the past 3 events and got to level 50 doing that, and we only played for like 2-4 hours 2 days out of the week and then waited until the challenges reset.

[@guunarlarsensmith7148]

Keep up the videos, love the Hunt Showdown shenanigans

[@TheFladian]

Getting the event done is more simple now than it has ever been, not to mention you can buy your way through it unlike events previous to Serpents Moon. Just completing the weekly's gives you 7500 event points whereas only 50k is needed to complete, and the daily 200 event bonus. You could play for an an hour or two each night and have ample time to complete. There are also more 100% event boost weekends. You could have it completed within 6 weeks barely trying, 2 weeks if you're a grinder during the bonus weekends.

[@DatsWhatHeSaid]

I play a lot of Hunt, and for me and my buddy the challenges are actually a welcome imposition, introducing constant playstyle changes by forcing us into specific loadouts. The thought process of the devs, when they introduced this dip _away_ from in-game/in-match event point grind, and _towards_ weekly challenges, was however, that working/familymen and other casuals could complete the event by just playing 1-3 evenings of Hunt a week, which in my opinion is awesome. Even though I completed the previous much more grindy events back in '20/'21/'22 aswell - I like the challenge-based event point system much more.

[@IrateWizrd]

@@DatsWhatHeSaid Yeah I'm running loadouts I wouldn't even consider without those challenges, it's great

The event system is very fair. I think you missed that the challenges give enough XP to finish the event just by doing them for half of the event. It is impossible to not finish the event if you just do your weekly challenges. They are super easy and can be done in 1-2 short evening sessions every week. If anything the current event is too easy. You can literally ignore everything else and just do the challenges. They give infinite event xp. Our group finished the event a few days ago and we are all senile gamers with families, jobs and little time.

[@nikolasubaric]

No idea if you're still reading youtube comments Sam but in just in case if you are I'll tell you how to level up the "battle pass" or whatever they call it these days. The most efficient way is to do the weekly challenges which reset every wednesday. They probably take around 4 hours to do and you have a week (so you can do them in two nights). They will give you 10 levels of the pass. So for ordiary games (you not included since you need to make content and cant grind a single game like a regular dad gamer) they just need to complete the weeklys for 5 weeks and thats the whole pass. It would take astronomically long for you to grind it out by just playing for points. Cheers Sam
