Eligibility

The Hunt 2022 begins on October 28th 9:00AM EST and ends on November 6th at 11:59:59PM EST

All gameplay MUST BE STREAMED on Twitch.tv, with public Video On Demand (VODs) enabled.

• You can enable VODs in your Creator Dashboard under Settings -> Stream -> VOD Settings -> Store past broadcasts.

MAXIMUM 18 HOURS OF PLAY PER DAY

• In order to keep everyone safe, we are enforcing a maximum of 18 hours played per day or session. It does not have to be continuous, for example: you can play 3 6 hour sessions in one day. Any 18 hour session MUST be followed by a 6 hour break. VODs will be used to track play time.

NO GAME MODIFICATIONS*

• In order to prevent players having an unfair advantage, modifying your game with any of the following is not allowed:
  BLCMM files, text mods, launch options, special command line arguments, hexedits, PythonSDK, DXVK, Cheat engine (and any other mods not listed)
• Any evidence of modding may get you disqualified!

If you have modded your game in the past, please clear your game of any mods before starting your hunt. You can remove old mods by deleting your game’s “Binaries” folder and verifying your game files.

*Visual config/ini tweaks such as disabling outlines or dynamic shadows are allowed. These kinds of tweaks have been found to not provide an advantage to players, but if evidence is found that contradicts this, ini tweaks will also be banned.

NO DISABLING MOVIES

• Disabling loading screens or cutscenes, even through ini tweaks, is not allowed

NO SAVE EDITING

• This should go without saying, but use of save editors such as gibbed or other tools is not allowed.

NO MACRO USAGE

• You cannot use external programs to make inputs for you. Rebinding single keys is fine, but multiple buttons or sequences are not.

You must CREATE NEW CHARACTERS for use during the hunt.

• All characters used during the hunt must be created after the start date and time of October 28th 9:00AM EST. All characters must start from level 1; you CANNOT use the boosted level 30 characters included with the “Fight for Sanctuary” DLC. You may create and use multiple characters as long as they adhere to the rest of the rules. All items used must be found on these characters. You may not transfer items from characters made before the hunt date using Claptrap’s Stash. 

You may only go back ONE PLAYTHROUGH below your character’s highest playthrough.

• After starting TVHM, you may return to NVHM
• After starting UVHM, you may return to TVHM, but are LOCKED OUT of NVHM
• After reaching OP1+, you may return to UVHM, but are LOCKED OUT of TVHM

NO BADASS RANK

• To keep everyone on the same footing, “Badass Rank” bonus stats must be disabled for the entirety of your hunt. Be sure to disable them before any combat sections.

Scoring

HUNT ITEMS to EARN POINTS!

• Each item on the checklist is worth points! Go find it in-game, and make a twitch clip of the the drop. Submit these clips to earn points, but note that each item can only be scored once. Your first Tinderbox drop is worth 2 points, but getting a second Tinderbox from either Captain Flynt or Sparky Flynt does not give you an additional 2 points.

HUNT BOUNTIES for EXTRA POINTS!

• Some checklist items are marked with a Bullseye(). Items marked with a Bullseye() are BOUNTIES, and are worth ONE EXTRA POINT if they drop from one of their listed Drop Source(s).

RAID DIGISTRUCT PEAK TO EARN POINTS!

• Each overpower level UNLOCKED through digistruct peak is worth 1 point, for a total of 10 points after unlocking OP10. Completing Digistruct Peak again at OP10 is not worth any points, however any drops found at Digistruct Peak are!

WORLD DROPS ARE ALLOWED

• Checklist items found from sources that aren’t listed are still worth points. You may not claim the extra bounty point unless it drops from one of the listed Drop Source(s), however. If you find a bounty item as a world drop, you can still hunt the bounty from one of the listed Drop Source(s) and submit a second clip to claim the extra point.

VENDOR ITEMS ARE ALLOWED

• Legendary and Pearlescent checklist items found in vendors can be counted for points. You do not need to purchase these items to score, just submit a clip of the item in the vendor.

TORGUE AND SERAPH VENDORS ARE ALLOWED*

• You can earn points for checklist items purchased from both Torgue Vendors and Seraph Vendors. Unlike regular vendors, items in these vendors MUST BE PURCHASED to be worth points.
  SLOT MACHINE ITEMS COUNT-Any checklist items found in a slot machine can be counted for points!

FIRST TO FINISH THE CHECKLIST IS THE WINNER!

• The first person to reach the maximum score of 1000 points wins! If nobody finishes the checklist, the winner will be the person with the highest total score.
