All Game Items in Hunt: Showdown
This guide covers every functional item in Hunt: Showdown — from weapons and tools to consumables, special ammo, equipment, currencies, and key collectibles. Items are grouped by category with details on function, acquisition, optimal use, and important synergies. All items function identically across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

1. Weapons
Weapons are divided into Primary (two-hand slot) and Secondary (one-hand slot). Each has variants that alter handling, ammo capacity, or scope.
#### 1.1 Primary Weapons
| Weapon Class | Example Weapons | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rifles | Winfield M1873, Mosin-Nagant, Lebel 1886 | Long ammo rifles excel at range; medium ammo (Vetterli) is versatile; compact ammo (Winfield) is fast-firing. |
| Shotguns | Caldwell Rival 78, Specter 1882, Romero 77 | Close-range power; Romero 77 is single-shot but one-shots reliably. Crown & King Auto-5 is semi-auto. |
| Compact (SMG-like) | Dolch 96 (pistol but primary-like), Bornheim No. 3 | High fire rate, low damage. Often used with fanning or dual wielding. |
| Sniper Rifles | Sparks LRR, Mosin-Nagant Sniper, Lebel Marksman | Very long range, slow fire rate. Sparks is single-shot but high damage. |
| Special | Bomb Lance, Crossbow, Nitro Express Rifle | Unique mechanics. Bomb Lance has melee and explosive harpoon; Crossbow is silent; Nitro is a two-shot kill but has iron sights. |
When useful: Choose weapon based on engagement range. Shotguns on compounds, rifles for open fields. Pair with a secondary that covers weaknesses (e.g., shotgun primary + long ammo pistol).
Synergies / Upgrades: Traits like Fanning (fast fan-fired revolvers), Levering (fast hip-fire for lever-action rifles), Scopesmith (faster scope transitions), Iron Repeater (faster iron-sight firing for Winfield). Custom ammo types (see Section 3) significantly alter performance.
#### 1.2 Secondary Weapons
| Weapon Class | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Revolvers | Caldwell Conversion, Pax, Nagant M1895 | Six-shooters; conversion has fanning synergy; Pax is powerful but slow reload. |
| Semi-auto Pistols | Bornheim No. 3, Dolch 96 | Bornheim is compact ammo; Dolch is special ammo (very strong). |
| Hand Crossbow | Hand Crossbow | Silent, one-hit kill with shotbolt. Limited ammo. |
| Sawed-off Shotguns | Romero 77 Hatchet, Specter Compact | Short range, but can be paired with a rifle for close quarters backup. |
| Knife / Dusters | (Tools, not weapons) | Melee tools can also be used as weapons but occupy tool slot. |

4. Special Ammo
Many firearms can be loaded with specialized ammunition, unlocked via weapon progression. Special ammo takes up a separate slot (can carry one type per weapon).

| Spitzer | Very fast bullet, no damage drop, but less damage. | Mosin, Lebel | Precision long-range. |
| Slug | Replaces shotguns pellets with a single high-damage bullet; one-shot headshot at medium range. | Romero, Rival, Specter | Shotgun becomes a rifle at close-heavy cost. |
| Flechette | Shotgun ammo that causes bleed with wider spread. | Rival, Specter | Area denial without guaranteed kill. |
| Explosive | Bullets that explode on impact; tiny damage but huge noise and shake. | Crossbow, Nitro | Disorient; destroy windows/barricades. |
| Shredder (Not in game) |
Important: Switching ammo types changes recoil pattern, velocity, and damage. Always test in shooting range first.
