How to Complete The Ward of the Reptilian in Hunt: Showdown

The latest Hunt: Showdown Event ‘The Ward of the Reptilian’ is now live but for a limited time only. From the 29th of March to the 1st of May, 2023, players will be able to play through the new Questline to unlock the ‘Scaled Ward’. Similar to ‘The Reptilian’ Skin in Cold Blooded DLC which released October, 2021, this scaly Hunter makes his return for a limited time only deal for players to nab this Skin for themselves. This time however you will need to hit those objectives to unlock the Reptilian’s Apprentice. But how do you complete ‘The Ward of the Reptilian’? This guide will show you everything you need to do in order to get the ‘Scaled Ward’ out for yourself.

Hunt: Showdown ‘The Ward of the Reptilian’ Questline

There are a total of 6 Acts that the player will have to progress through to complete The Ward of the Reptilian Questline. These Acts are divided into a set of 4-8 specific objectives/challenges that players must hit. These can be completed in any order however and multiple can be done simultaneously as you enter matches in Hunt: Showdown. You can keep track of your progression mid-match, as well as checking your Questline Summary which will detail how far off you are from completing the Tier objectives. When selecting what Quest you wish to start, click on the Quest and select ‘Start Quest’. You can have 2 running at the same time. Refer to the two plus icons at the bottom of the Questline screen for what you have assigned.

As you progress through the Acts you will unlock Legendary items such as Skins or Weapons. Whilst players who have purchased The Ward of the Reptilian will also unlock the Reptilian Skin itself, as seen in the Questline Trailer from Crytek on YouTube. The ‘Scaled Ward’ is the final unlock upon completing Act 6 of The Ward of the Reptilian. This new Skin is incredibly hard to see in-game, similar to that of the Ghillie Suit in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2009). It is one of the best Skins to use in the game due to its color design being incredibly similar to that of the landscape. You can easily hide in bushes, trees and take a dive into the swampy waters to ambush your prey from above. The Skin allows you to get in close to other Hunters, where most Skins do not allow for this opportunity.
