The max level you can reach in Hunt: Showdown is Bloodline rank 1000 with Prestige level 10. This requires an incredible amount of time and dedication to the game. Let‘s take an in-depth look at how the progression and prestige system works.
Overview of Hunter Levels, Bloodline Ranks, and Prestige
In Hunt: Showdown, you recruit hunters that start at level 1 and can reach a max level of 50. Leveling up occurs through gameplay – you gain XP by completing bounties, killing bosses, and extracting bounty tokens.
Surviving longer and extracting with a bounty provides a XP boost. The full XP earned by a max level 50 hunter goes towards your Bloodline rank.
The Bloodline rank represents your overall account progression. This goes from 1 to 1000, with 10 prestige levels unlocked at certain milestones:
- Prestige 1: Unlock at Bloodline rank 100
- Prestige 2: Unlock at Bloodline rank 200
- Prestige 3: Unlock at Bloodline rank 300
- Prestige 4-10: Unlock every 50 ranks after that up to max rank 1000
Here‘s a quick table showing the prestige unlocks:
| Prestige Level | Unlocked at Bloodline Rank |
|---|---|
| Prestige 1 | 100 |
| Prestige 2 | 200 |
| Prestige 3 | 300 |
| Prestige 4 | 350 |
| Prestige 5 | 400 |
| Prestige 6 | 450 |
| Prestige 7 | 500 |
| Prestige 8 | 550 |
| Prestige 9 | 600 |
| Prestige 10 | 650 |
Reaching Prestige 10 at max Bloodline rank 1000 takes an incredible amount of time and dedication. Let‘s look deeper at how XP and progression works.
XP Requirements for Leveling Hunters and Bloodline
It takes a total of 676,000 XP to go from a level 1 hunter to reaching max level 50. That‘s a ton of successful bounty hunts!
The XP requirements increase each level. To go from level 49 to hitting max level 50 takes 25,000 XP alone.
Here‘s a table showing the XP needed per level, from levels 1-50:
| Hunter Level | XP Needed | Total XP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 3 | 1,150 | 2,150 |
| 4 | 1,300 | 3,450 |
| 5 | 1,500 | 4,950 |
| … | … | … |
| 49 | 23,800 | 651,200 |
| 50 | 25,000 | 676,000 |
As you can see, the XP curve gets steeper as you approach higher levels. Leveling up requires more successful bounty hunts and fights against other players.
For your overall Bloodline rank, the XP requirements also continue increasing with each level up to rank 1000.
Based on data gathered by players, it takes approximately 15-20 million total XP to go from Bloodline rank 1 to reaching max rank 1000 over 10 prestige levels.
That‘s a massive amount of bounty hunting! Let‘s look at if it‘s worth it to prestige in Hunt: Showdown…
Is Prestiging Worth It in Hunt: Showdown?
Prestiging resets your account progression back to Rank 1. You lose all your unlocked weapons, equipment, and items.
However, you do get to keep any cosmetics and DLC purchases. Prestiging also unlocks exclusive legendary hunter skins as rewards.
Here are some of the pros and cons to consider about prestiging:
Pros
-
Unlocks cool prestige rewards like rare legendary hunter skins. At max Prestige 10, you can unlock the plague doctor skin.
-
Provides additional challenges and goals to work towards. Keeps the game fresh.
-
Shows your dedication and skill level to other players. Higher prestige denotes experience.
-
Lets you re-experience early game progression. Some find this fun.
Cons
-
Resets all your unlocked equipment, weapons, etc. Lost progress can feel frustrating.
-
Requires an extreme grind to reach max prestige 10. Estimated at 1000+ hours.
-
Makes you less effective as you re-unlock weapons and items.
-
Removes rare hunters, weapons, and items you‘ve collected.
Overall, I think prestiging is very worth it if you really enjoy Hunt: Showdown and want to show dedication. The unique skins provide great rewards. Just be ready for the huge grind!
I prestiged after hitting Bloodline 100 and found it a refreshing way to re-experience progression. I‘m now working towards unlocking the plague doctor skin at Prestige 5. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Play quickplay – Provides XP boosts from rifts and fast matches.

Focus on bounty hunts – Successfully extracting earns a lot more XP than quickplay.

Hunt: Showdown Prestige vs. Call of Duty
How does prestiging in Hunt: Showdown compare to a game like Call of Duty? There are some key differences:
-
Hunt has 10 prestige levels vs. CoD‘s typical 5 levels.
-
It takes longer to prestige in Hunt, requiring Bloodline 100 vs. CoD‘s level 55.
-
Hunt provides special skins as rewards, while CoD simply resets your rank.
-
Losing all loadouts and weapons feels more impactful in Hunt.
-
CoD has an in-game leveling system separate from prestiging. Hunt uses bloodline ranks for both.
Overall, prestiging is a bigger commitment in Hunt: Showdown. The max 10 levels requires extensive play time and dedication from fans. But the bragging rights and skins are worth it!
Legendary Hunters – Showing Your Prestige Status
Legendary hunter skins in Hunt: Showdown give you cosmetic ways to showcase your prestige level and accomplishments. Some of the rarest and coolest skins include:
-
Plague Doctor – Unlocked for reaching Prestige 5. Very rare find in matches.
-
Cain with Gold Teeth – Unique gold-toothed variant for Prestige 10 players.
-
Felis the Demoness – Intricately detailed demon hunter skin from the High Stakes event.
-
The Rat – Creepy rat mask perfect for sneaking up on bounties. Part of Twitch drops.
-
The Revenant – Undead-themed hunter covered in vines and leaves. Originally a Twitch drop.
Equipping these rare skins is a great way to strike fear in other players. They know you‘ve put in the hard work to unlock them!
For me, focusing on unlocking the plague doctor and Cain gold teeth skins gives me motivation to keep prestiging. Let me know which legendary hunters are your favorites!
Final Thoughts on Prestige in Hunt: Showdown
Achieving max Prestige 10 and Bloodline rank 1000 in Hunt: Showdown shows incredible dedication. It takes hundreds upon hundreds of hours of successful bounty hunts.
If you love Hunt purely for the gameplay experience, the long journey to max prestige can be incredibly rewarding. Testing your skill and enjoying the core loops is what it‘s all about.
However, if you‘re focused on unlocking weapons and collecting rare hunters, prestiging may feel frustrating. Resetting that progress can be painful.
My advice – set small prestige goals, enjoy the ride, and reminisce about your early days as a level 1 hunter! Mastering Hunt: Showdown takes time and practice.
