Summary
Devil's Trail Live Event
The Devil's Trail event fundamentally changes how Hunters navigate the bayou. Supply Points and Extraction Points are now hidden from the map by default, requiring players to use Scouting Maps at new Scout Towers or interact with specific Tarot Cards to reveal them. A new 'Passive Tracking' system ensures that player actions—like opening doors, breaking fences, or using ammo packs—leave permanent visual evidence, allowing enemies to retrace steps more effectively.
New Monster: Firebreather
A new fire-spewing threat joins the AI roster. The Firebreather attacks from long range but remains stationary during its breath attack. It is uniquely vulnerable to water-based items like Water Bottles and Choke clouds, which kill it instantly.
UI & Meta Overhaul
Update 2.7 brings a significant redesign to the Hunter Roster screen, aligning the grid to the left and simplifying recruitment. A new 'Gear Skin Pagination' system allows players to swap skins directly from the loadout screen. Additionally, new player onboarding has been streamlined, with monsters and bosses introduced gradually up to Bloodline Rank 11.
