    Can't Spawn Living Hunters

    Clan said I should post this. I've two issues with the hunters where I killed some before daylight moved in or got killed by the other spawned hunter. Now I cannot pull the lever at the Christmas Tree with 4 hunters, or hit the switch in the Memorial Monument to hunt the remaining hunters. I know of the after dark 20:00 to 05:00 time, it's real life been days since my failure, but I cannot enable the hunt to continue.

    Same problem with the Christmas tree hunters, killed 2 of 4 and now can't start the encounter again. This whole hunter element of the game is a mess tbh.

    I killed 3 out of 4 hunters in my game. Diamond mask disappeared completely, no idea where they went. So I went into someone else's game, told them about the hunters that they didn't previously know about, so I got them hyped about killing them. We killed 3/4 again, but this time I got the Diamond mask. So now I have all 12 hunters' masks, but I still only have 7/8 of the ivory keys.

    Thanks for the report guys! To clarify, for the Christmas Tree hunters, they are only not spawning anymore since you were killed while fighting them?
    @KingRatBile We are looking into issues with drops and keys with Hunters at this time. Thanks for the report!

    I killed two of them and grabbed their masks, third killed me and I went back to try and find him but couldn't find any disturbance to any NPC in the area and they were gone without a trace despite how Youtube claims they don't despawn if we die and will engage anything they find. When I went to try again, the lever wouldn't function, simply had no option to touch it and was in a raised position. Closed the game and tried again the next game night, then the next real life day, and days after but the results the same.

    The Washington Monument was where I encountered a hunter just walking outside of the monument. Engaged and killed him, took the mask, and proceeded to try and find the last of the two. However daylight came before I could find him as he wasn't in any depicted site from youtube, and now the button in the saferoom won't let me press it. All efforts yield the same result.

    I know they need a time frame of 20:00-05:00 and have watched several youtubes. It feels like they despawned on my death given the Christmas Tree having no engagements on the map or in sight. The other I assume was bad luck on spawns with all those rooftops he could pop up on. Can't know as the button disabled itself.

    Thanks for the details @unexpectedeve! Do you happen to have any screenshots or are able to take a video of the area currently?

    I've work in 8 minutes, won't be back for 12hr. Hopefully, it'll be dark in the game when I get back, as game time didn't match up at this moment.

    I died while fighting them too. I was able to down 2 but the others disappeared afterwards. (Not sure why) so I’m stuck with just the 2 masks and no ivory key and can not get them to spawn again because I can’t pull the lever. I tried finding someone that hasn’t completed it yet but that is an arduous task and ridiculous to the point I can’t believe that is intentional by developers. I should be able to wait until night again and be able to re-attempt but can’t. Any plans to fix/patch this issue? It would be greatly appreciated by a lot of people, there are a lot of posts all over reddit about this same issue.

    Recording of my attempt to interact with the switches just now, starting from the Monument to the Christmas Tree. 480 quality, I don't know jack about recording, sorry.

    Thanks for sharing unexpectedeve! I really appreciate it. To confirm, you have not been able to encounter any more hunters since then, correct?
