Hunt: Showdown has been going strong since the game first launched in Early Access in 2018. In fact, Crytek and the fans recently celebrated the three-year anniversary of Hunt: Showdown, as the PVP and PVE horror shooter has kept players entertained for countless hours. One thing that players have waited a long time for is a new boss, as the game hasn't seen a fresh entry since The Assassin in early 2019.
With the introduction of the As The Crow Flies event in Hunt: Showdown, the community has been working together toward unlocking the new boss. It has finally been accomplished and the devastating Scrapbeak has been unleashed onto the Bayou; ready to wreak havoc on any Hunter that it faces.
With the crow-themed Scrapbeak finally being unlocked by the Hunt: Showdown community, Crytek has released a trailer showing off its creepy and metallic design. A blog post was also released, giving tips as to how to defeat Scrapbeak and how it was put together. Normally there are items scattered around the lair of a boss that can help defeat it in Hunt: Showdown, but that is not the case here. Instead, Scrapbeak has hoarded items like ammunition, medical supplies, and traps and uses them as weapons against Hunters. When angry and crazed, Scrapbeak can drop these supplies.
Scrapbeak may have been a long time coming, but the boss is extremely distinct from the other three in Hunt: Showdown. Between the Spider, Butcher, Assassin, and now Scrapbeak, each boss has its own unique feel. Fans should be happy to finally see this boss added to the game, so now the next request will be a long-promised new map for Hunt: Showdown.
Hunt: Showdown is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
