How to get the Avtomat in Hunt: Showdown

Since the beginning, the Mosin-Nagant M1891 Avtomat has been one of the most sought-after weapons in Hunt: Showdown. It is compelling and reliable against other hunters and is just one of the coolest options in the game. This fully automatic Russian rifle has a capacity of 15 rounds and can quickly put down other bounty hunters if you manage the recoil well.

So, how do you get your hands on this full auto beast? Here is what you need to know about the Avotmat in Hunt: Showdown and how to unlock it.

How to unlock the Mosin-Nagant M1891 Avtomat in Hunt: Showdown

There are only two conventional ways to unlock Mosin-Nagant M1891 Avtomat, the first being grinding the game. You can unlock the Avtomat by reaching Rank 75 (which unlocks the Mosin-Nagant M1891 inventory) and then earning 5000 XP with any other Mosin-Nagant M1891 weapon. Then all that’s left is to pay the inhumane cost of $1250 to buy an Avtomat.

The faster but arguably a more difficult way of securing Mosin-Nagant M1891 Avtomat is by looting it from another hunter in a match. To do that, you need to play a Bounty Hunt match and track down other players any chance you get. While the Avtomat has a recognizable firing sound, most Hunt: Showdown players won’t just be running around firing a dedicated anti-hunter gun at zombies, so you won’t really know whether they are carrying one until you engage them in a firefight.

The DIY Avtomat in Hunt: Showdown

While Hunt: Showdown has some other fast-firing alternatives to the Avtomat, they are all in the pistol category and somewhat expensive. That means you would be paying a bundle for a weapon that cannot rival the real thing in damage, range, or penetration. That said, since akimbo mode was introduced to the game, you can at least reproduce the fast-firing aspect of the Avtomat for cheap, by running a pair of Nagant M1895 Officer pistols. This outfit is considerably more affordable than buying another semi-auto weapon like the Bornheim or Dolch; it needs to reload less often and carries a lot more reserve ammo than the Avtomat. And the best part? You won’t feel like uninstalling when another player kills you.
