About the Index

The Bayou Index is a field manual for Hunt: Showdown 1896 - the weapons catalogue today, with mechanics, enemies, maps and patch history being added section by section.

Every page is generated from the game's own shipped files - the same numbers the game itself runs on - and rebuilt with each patch, so the manual moves when the game moves.

Not an official Crytek site, not endorsed by Crytek, not affiliated with Crytek in any way. Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a trademark of Crytek GmbH.

No figure on this site was retyped by a person. Static extractors read the shipped game files directly - stat tables, tuning curves, spawn registries - and write them into a versioned snapshot that records, beside every number, the file it came from.

The build behind the current corpus, as computed at build time:

A figure the files do not answer is left out rather than guessed at - and where the data itself carries a known uncertainty, the page says so.

Community wikis are written by hand, and a rebalance quietly turns them into lies - the table gets updated, the sentence beside it keeps the old number, and nothing anywhere fails.

The Index cannot drift like that. There is no hand-typed figure to go stale: when the game changes, extraction rebuilds the corpus, build-time checks confirm every derived claim still holds, and a page that no longer matches the data fails the build instead of shipping.

The Index is the reference half of a small family. Its sister, the Bayou Ledger, is the tracker - live player statistics for Hunt: Showdown 1896: MMR, match history, leaderboards, all the rolls a community keeps on itself.
