With Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End update 1.13 today on PlayStation 4, Naughty Dog has added Bounty Hunter mode, a revamped version of the Village map from Uncharted 2, new weapons and personalization items, and more. Here’s a look at the patch notes for today’s free Uncharted 4 update and Bounty Hunters DLC drop:
Returning Classic Map: Village from Uncharted 2
That’s right; we’re bringing back Village. Not only is it one of our personal favorites, it’s also one of the most requested maps from the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer community.
Village has been completely rebuilt to take advantage of PS4, including new lighting systems, high-fidelity textures, and more. We’ve also added support for Uncharted 4’s new traversal mechanics — most notably the grappling hook.
New Mode: Bounty Hunter
- Players drop a bounty when they are KO’d worth 10 victory points
- Teams take turns hunting or protecting the Captain, who has the highest bounty
- Captain bounties start at 60 victory points and go up to 120 points
- Captain bounties must be climed, which takes a short time, so prepare to fight over them!
New Weapons, Mystical & Boosters
Using Relics earned through Multiplayer matches and Challenges, DLC Gameplay Chests now have the chance of granting access to any of the four new weapons introduced with the Bounty Hunters DLC, as well as those added with Lost Treasures and as part of the base game. Our latest Mystical, Shield of Asgard, temporarily reduces incoming damage. While it can be helpful in objective modes, it comes at the cost of movement speed.
Weapons
- DC Single Action — Semi-Automatic Revolver
- RKL-155 — Fully Automatic mid Pistol
- Lowe-S – Assault Rifle
- Harrison 1890 – Lever Action Rifle
- US-AN 12 – Automatic Shotgun (Heavy Weapon)
Boosters
- Lock ‘n Load — Put ammo from pickups immediately in your clip
- Undisturbed — Hold a charge melee while rolling and climbing
- Silent Assassin — Take out the enemy without the other their team knowing
- Weapons Expert — Aim your weapon while vaulting, falling, jumping
Mystical
- Shield of Asgard — Reduces incoming damage for a brief period
New Feature: Cinema Replay
As promised in the Multiplayer Roadmap we shared before launch, the Bounty Hunters DLC adds Cinema Replay — a new suite of tools for capturing epic moments in-game and creating your own original videos.
Building upon the tools players will recognize from previous Uncharted games, Cinema Replay creates archived versions of matches that allow you to go back and relive every moment from any player’s perspective or through a variety of different cameras. Within Cinema Replay, you can pause, slow down, swap perspectives, or line up the perfect shot to create highlight montages, original videos, or perhaps a dance compilation or two.
2 New Mods
- Brute Teleport – Brute will reappear at your side when you respawn
- Djinn Fire Punch – Down an opponent in two melee hits
10 New Levels (71 – 80)
- Including two new mystical vanity items unlocked at level 75 and 80
Lots of New Vanity Content
- 20 Apocalypse Themed Skins
- 6 Western Themed Skins
- 3 Military Themed Skins
- 21 Pre-Set Outfits
- 6 New Hats
- 4 New Face Wear Items
- 9 New Taunts
Balance Changes
- C4 loadout point cost increased from 2 to 3
- C4 detonation delay upgrades changed to 30% at level 2 and 50% at level 3
- Damage wobble caused by FAL to target decreased
- P90 blindfire reduction
Bug Fixes
- Heavy Weapons can no longer be reloaded on ziplines
- Late joiners can now hear in-game chat and be heard properly
- Fixed an issue where in-game scoreboard wouldn’t re-appear after backing out of the loadout selection
If you purchased the Triple Pack, Multiplayer Pack 2 is now available, adding these items to the customization and loadout menus: RKL-155 Pistol, Lock and Load Booster, Shield of Asgard Mystical, Bandit Hat, and Pistol Spin taunt.
As Naughty Dog’s Robert Cogburn adds, “Bounty Hunters is one of the biggest multiplayer DLC updates we’ve ever produced.”
According to the multiplayer roadmap, this fall will see the addition of co-op, more maps, more weapons, and more.
Naughty Dog didn’t announce a release window for the planned single-player DLC today.

Battlefield 1
First up in Battlefield 1. Developed by DICE and published by EA, this first-person shooter is set during World War I, and gives players the tools-of-the-time to wage war against one another.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
Next, we have a double whammy of Call of Duty action. We’ll admit that it’s Modern Warfare Remastered that we’re most excited to play. However, to actually get access to the remaster, you have to pick up an Infinite Warfare. Fortunately, Infinite Warfare is looking better with each new trailer that gets released, so we’re not too bitter. Both games release on November 4th, however on PS4 it’s possible to get 30 days early access to the Modern Warfare Remaster campaign by pre-ordering.
-
Dishonored 2
On November 11th, the Arkane Studios developed Dishonored 2 will launch. Set fifteen years after the first game, players can choose to play as either Emily or Corvo as they attempt to reclaim the Empire’s throne. We’re excited to continue the story of these characters, and see what improvements have been made to the game’s stealth, and should we get caught, brutal combat systems.
-
Final Fantasy XV
The first Final Fantasy game on our list today is Final Fantasy XV. Playing as main protagonist Noctis, players must explore the world of Eos, on a journey to retrieve a powerful stolen crystal. Square Enix claims that this Final Fantasy will be a major departure from previous games, providing a darker atmosphere that focuses on more realistic environments and human characters. We can’t wait to get stuck in and immerse ourselves in a brand new world when the game releases on November 29th.
-
Mafia III
Hangar 13 is the developer at the helm of delivering the next Mafia installment. Mafia III is set in 1968, in the fictional city of New Bordeaux. Put into the shoes of Lincoln Clay, players can wander the open world. The end goal for Clay, and therefore players, is to enact revenge against the Italian mob. We’ll be earning our vengeance at launch on October 7th.
-
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Almost a year after the Xbox release, PlayStation owners are finally going to get their hands on Rise of the Tomb Raider, when it launches on October 11th. Gameplay-wise, expect more of what made the 2013 reboot so great, along with improvements in the stealth department. No competitive multiplayer this time around, but there are Challenge Modes with specific mission requirements that we just know we’ll become obsessed with.
-
The Last Guardian
We feel a little anxious adding this title to our list, for fear that it will get delayed yet again, but here it is anyway. The Last Guardian, this mythical game that many thought would never see the light of day, will supposedly launch on December 6th. What we’ve seen from gameplay so far is the completion of simple puzzles in order for both the young boy and his giant griffin friend to progress. Hopefully their relationship is an interesting one, as this game really needs to do a lot to live up to the monumental hype.
-
Titanfall 2
Though Xbox exclusivity kept PlayStation fans from enjoying the first Titanfall, the sequel will be coming to PlayStation 4. Titanfall 2 brings Pilots and Titans together once again, as the Frontier Militia faces off against the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation. This time around there’s a single-player campaign, a heavily requested component. Titans will start falling when the game releases on October 28th.
-
Watch Dogs 2
The change of style and location has us excited about Watch Dogs 2. While the first game oozed gray and had little personality, the sequel looks vibrant and fun. Set in San Francisco, players will use their hacking know-how to take down an advanced surveillance system and the evil corporation behind it all. Watch Dogs 2 launches on November 15th.
-
World of Final Fantasy
Just in case one Final Fantasy wasn’t enough, Square Enix is also launching World of Final Fantasy, which is coming to both PS4 and PlayStation Vita on October 25th. The world of Grymoire is a land populated by classic Final Fantasy characters and monsters, and you must explore it to recover lost memories. Yes, it looks cute as hell, but whatever, we’re still damn excited for it.
