Should You Choose Lunar Pact, Infernal Pact, or Grounded Pact in Hunt: Showdown’s Devils Moon Event

Pledge the right Pact and reap new rewards.

The popular competitive zombie shooter Hunt: Showdown is having an event called Devil’s Moon and there are a lot of prizes and buffs to be found there. In this game that allows you to compete with your friends on who gets to kill most of the zombies or completes most of the quests, you will get a chance to join one of the three pacts: The Inferno, The Lunar, and the Grounded pact. The live event lasts until February 15.

Which Pact to Choose?

Each Pact brings different buffs to your Hunter and in order to pledge to a pact you will need a new currency called Pledge Mark. Those can be acquired during missions and you will always get one when you reach 35 Event points, when you loot another Hunter for the first time or when you banish your first boss. The Pledge Marks will be spent in order to get the pact traits.

Some Legendary Hunters can pledge to any of the three Pacts while others are locked in with a particular pact in advance. Look for an icon in the bottom left corner of your Hunter overview.

As you will see with each description of the Pacts, each one is catering to different play styles, so there’s really no one Pact that is best right now. The best pact for your Hunter is the one that suits your way of playing the game.

Lunar Pact

Lunar Pact offers some pretty interesting specific traits. The first trait is called Relentless and will allow you not to lose a health chunk when downed in exchange for all Pledge Marks you currently have. This can be a really good way of saving yourself, but it will cost you and push you back to grinding for new Pledge Marks.

The second trait in Lunar Pact is called the Regeneration shot. It heals your health bars as soon as you are damaged, and even though it does it at half the speed of your regular healing, it doesn’t require that you are out of the battle for five seconds. This is an amazing buff that will probably draw a lot of attention from players.

There is also a passive buff to regular traits called Resilience. It allows you to get revives with up to 100 health.

Infernal Pact

Infernal Pact offers these traits:

  • Fire Eater: The health chunk that was burned away gets instantly restored at the cost of one Pledge Mark
  • Flame Touched: When you have 4 Pledge Marks you can never catch on fire, but your health bars still burn slower while in flames (this won’t consume those 4 Pledge Marks).
  • Salveskin (passive): A 25% fire resistance and a 25% faster regeneration of partially burned health chunks.

As you can see, the Infernal Pact is built around fire damage and helping anyone that had played many missions during which they burned to death. All these traits are active at the same time and act simultaneously.

Grounded Pact

With the first trait in Grounded Pact, called the Death Cheat, you will be able to literally cheat death. You will save your Hunter when they are killed. Even though that sounds OP, it will cost you all your Pledge Marks and you will lose your guns in the process. So, even with this trait, there are still a lot of reasons to watch out.

Shadow is the second trait and it allows you to be invisible as long as you have at least 4 Pledge Marks. Monsters will still be able to hear you and will react to something moving in their surroundings but all in all, this will allow you to speedrun some missions.

The last one is Self Revive. If you have a Necromancer you can revive yourself when you die without consuming any Pledge Marks. When you happen to play against a player that has this trait, make sure to throw some fire and poison around their body so they go down again as soon as they revive.
