OBS Overlay

The OBS overlay puts your live Hunt: Showdown 1896 stats on stream as a transparent browser source - kills, deaths, KDA, MMR, bounty and more. It updates automatically while you play.

Try it first

You can try the overlay before subscribing, no account needed. Open the live example, pick a mode, and tweak the controls to see how it looks.

Free 5-day demo

The example uses made-up numbers. To see it on your own stats, start the free 5-day demo from the subscription page: the Overlay plan card carries a "Try 5 days free" link under its Select button. No card, and nothing to cancel - it just ends.

One demo per account - it is not offered again once used.
The bayouledger.com watermark stays on through the demo, even if you switched it off on an earlier paid plan. The same goes for free access through a creator badge or a plan granted to you, except Old Blood, which keeps the choice.
Back on a paid Overlay or Legend plan, your saved choice returns. Saving settings while the watermark is locked stores it as on.
You can subscribe at any point during the demo, without waiting for it to run out.
We notify you the day before it ends.

What you need

Get the overlay from the subscription page:

Overlay - the cheapest route. It includes only the overlay: no badge, no coloured name, no supporters roster spot.
Legend - the top tier. It includes the overlay plus every other perk. Old Blood carries the same perks.

When your demo, plan or creator access ends, the overlay stops and shows the red dot in its corner: within about a minute for creator access, and up to about an hour after a plan or demo runs out. Once access is back, it picks up again by itself within about five minutes, with nothing to change in OBS.

Set it up

Subscribe to Overlay or Legend.
Open the editor: Account → Customize → OBS overlay → Open the overlay editor.
Pick a mode, adjust the controls, and hit Save changes.
Copy the Browser-source URL shown in the editor.
In OBS, add a Browser source and paste the URL. Leave the background transparent so only the card shows.

Saving new settings updates it in OBS without touching the Browser source again.

Display modes

Extended - a grid of session stats led by MMR and KDA, with an optional "current session" heading and a season-KDA line.
Compact - a slim single-row badge showing the columns you pick.
History - a table of your last few play sessions.

Customize the card

MMR has two columns: plain MMR shows how much your rating moved this session (+42); MMR (current) shows the rating itself (3 250). Show either or both.
Show Clash rating shows your Clash rating instead of the bounty-hunt one everywhere on the card. Cells show a dash if you've never played Clash.
Show avatar adds your Steam profile picture next to your name.
Separator lines are the thin rules under your name and rank, and above the season KDA. Turn them off for a barer card.
Show MMR rank adds your global placement (like #237 · top 4%) under your name. It needs you visible on the leaderboards (a private account, a long break, or too few kills can leave it blank), and it updates about once an hour at best.
Count from stream start counts the session stats from when you went live on Twitch instead of from the start of your play session. While you're not live, the card falls back to showing the whole session. It needs a Twitch account linked under Account → Subscription → Customize → Stream or channel URL → Link Twitch, with your stream set to the Hunt: Showdown category; restarting the stream resets the count to zero.

While you're live, the card keeps counting until the stream ends, even through a break of several hours between matches. With this setting off, a live card counts from the start of the play session you were in when you went live, or of the first one you start during the stream.

Renaming your Twitch channel doesn't break it, and a brief Twitch outage keeps the stream count instead of jumping to the whole session. With Show goal on, the goal row counts over the same stretch as the stats.

If you're a Legend, the homepage's Online tab mirrors these numbers while you're live; with a creator badge, you stay listed there while this overlay runs in OBS and for five minutes after it closes. A creator also leaves the list after an hour without a finished match on their account and comes back after the next one.

Private account, Hide from leaderboards and Private match history each keep you off the Online tab, even while you stream.
Show goal puts your active goal on the card. The toggle stays greyed out until you've set a goal - see that article for what it shows.

Two pickers under Appearance change the look without touching what the card shows:

Typeface - six options: Field Telegraph (the original), Condensed, Gazette, Terminal, Arcade, Dispatch. They ship with the overlay, so OBS renders them without installing anything.
Colour scheme changes the colours for gains, losses and the rank badge: Bayou (green/red, the default), Vivid, Ice, Ember, Signal (blue/orange - easier to tell apart if red/green are hard to distinguish), and Mono (no colour; gains and losses still carry a + or -).

Both settings are set per display mode.

Every overlay also shows a small connection indicator in the corner. It's invisible while the card is live, and turns amber once the overlay has been reconnecting by itself for about a minute: the connection dropped, went quiet, or keeps failing right after it opens. After a shorter drop the overlay catches up on what it missed by itself.

It turns red as soon as the URL no longer works, because the token was rotated or your access ended. The overlay still checks every few minutes and clears the dot by itself once the URL works again. After a rotation, copy the new URL from the editor.

Keep your URL private

The overlay URL holds a private token - anyone who has it can see your overlay, so don't show it on stream or share it. If it leaks, open the editor and Rotate token: that issues a new URL and the old one stops working immediately. Every OBS source still open on the old URL stops too and shows the red dot.
