Hunt: Showdown 1896 Unlocked the Chupacabra Trait as Make Them Bleed Stage 2 Ended
The Burn Trait costs 2 Upgrade Points and restores 1 Health Chunk through interactions with live horses, cows or animal cages.
Make Them Bleed Stage 2 is complete in Hunt: Showdown 1896, and its reward is now available. The Chupacabra Trait can be purchased for 2 Upgrade Points, with Crytek confirming the milestone in its Steam announcement.
What Chupacabra does in Hunt: Showdown 1896
Chupacabra is a Burn Trait that gives Hunters another way to recover health during a Mission. Interacting with a live horse, cow or animal cage restores 1 Health Chunk. The chosen animal is triggered during the interaction and dies when the action is completed.
Unlocking the Trait costs 2 Upgrade Points, after which Chupacabra can be purchased from the Trait menu. That gives the reward a practical use beyond simply adding another name to the Blood Testament collection, particularly for Hunters who want extra healing options while moving through the compound.
Make Them Bleed moves to its next milestone
Stage 2 follows the opening milestone, which activated Blood Moon as a new Time of Day in Hunt: Showdown 1896’s Stage 1 event reward. Blood Moon is already part of Missions, while Chupacabra now adds a Trait reward to the ongoing community event.
The reward progression points to a new Nightmare for Stage 3, which players will need to find and unlock. Crytek has not provided a schedule for that next milestone, so Chupacabra is the latest confirmed reward in Make Them Bleed.
