Compare Hunt: Showdown 1896 - The Researcher prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Crytek. Published by Crytek. Released on 8/27/2019. Available on PC. Genres: Action. Metacritic score: 81/100.

A cosmetic-only Legendary Hunter pack for Hunt: Showdown 1896. Needs the base game, changes nothing mechanical, and only earns a slot if you care how your hunter looks.

Hunt's first hour is rough: you creep for ten minutes, get shot by someone you never saw, and lose that hunter permanently. Push through, because it clicks around hour five. None of that changes here, though, since The Researcher is a cosmetic add-on that does nothing without Hunt: Showdown 1896 installed. It's a Legendary Hunter pack, so expect a themed character and matching weapon cosmetics rather than new maps, modes, or guns. The store listing carries the exact item breakdown. Grab it if you want your silhouette in the swamp to look like someone who reads. Everyone else can skip it without regret. Alex, Scout Team

For Hunt regulars who collect legendary hunters. Requires the base game, adds nothing mechanical, easy skip otherwise.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
