Patch 0.5.0 for Way of the Hunter 2 introduces enhancements to the ammo system, allowing players to purchase and manage ammo via the laptop in the lodge or vicinity menu, with capacity varying by backpack size. A bolt-action rifle, the Merkel Helix Speedster (.30-06 Springfield), has been added along with improvements to ammo compatibility, auto-equip functionality, and HUD indicators. Several bugs have been fixed, including issues with ammo switching, weapon damage display, storage refills, animal behavior, and multiplayer crashes. Visual and performance improvements have also been made, such as replacing placeholder artwork and addressing environmental clipping and lighting errors.
