Trophies and achievements can give developers extremely useful, fascinating, and perhaps perplexing data about how players are experiencing their games, and that's certainly true in the case of Hunt: Showdown.

The game is a PvPvE first-person shooter where players are tasked with taking down other players, and as such one of the game's most basic trophies, "Debut," is awarded for killing your first enemy Hunter - that is, another human player.

But almost four years since the game's PS4 release, only 62.7% of players have popped the Debut trophy. That leaves 37.3% who've not killed a single human player during a game where that's the operating objective.

This was even recently commented upon by the game's general manager, David Fifield, who noted the difficulty of creating a competitive experience that is also inclusive for newcomers.

Reading between the lines, it seems clear that many new players quickly took their leave of Hunt: Showdown after getting mowed down by fellow players a few rounds in a row.

Fifield insists they're continuing to work on the issue, and hopeful that the percentage of players without a single kill to their name will drop in the near future. Here's hoping.
