The Water Devil Graces The Latest ‘Hunt: Showdown’ Update
A couple of weeks ago, it was mentioned that after a brief free-to-play weekend, Crytek would be pushing out another update for their PvEvP shooter, Hunt: Showdown. And just like that, Update 2.3 is now live, bringing with it new gadgets and the Water Devil.
The Water Devil is the highlight of this water-themed update. The monster will stalk Hunters who are wading through water. As such, the addition of water-capable weapons was a must, and waxed Dynamite and a waterproofed Firebomb will help Hunters stay alive in fights against the Water Devil.
Things are made more difficult to hunt quarry now, and not just the Water Devil. Ducks (which are now visible on some waterways) will make noise at a player’s approach, alerting enemies and other Hunters that someone is there. Stealth and strategy are therefore now more important to stay alive.
To read the full breakdown of the update, you can head to the game’s Steam page.
As well, earlier in the week, it was announced that Hunt: Showdown is creeping closer to an Xbox One release with the game becoming available Xbox Game Preview in the near future. If you do purchase the game while it’s in Game Preview, you’ll get the 1.0 version at no additional cost once it’s released.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
