Definitely
it only isn't because you'd need to walk up to a paralyzed animal and do a followup irl
I guess that makes sense
yeah they should do what they did in classic
just make them lay there
first time that happened to me with a polar bear i was so confused
Imagine seeing randomly
Iām trying to think of birds that would be cool
i miss classic sometimes i just am not invested enough to spend money on it
and its hard to do anything without buying a buncha stuff
I donāt think I can even play it since Iām not on pc
my first whitetail on classic was a nontyp
well that'll hook you
A type of owl would be cool
i remember screwing up and losing a cross fox </3
i dont want birds of prey to be huntable
Great horned
its just. not right imo
i do not want to hunt owls bro sorry
plus how the hell would you shoot them when they fly so high (not talking about owls but raptors in general)
Ostrich, Guinea Fowl and Bustard, the rest can bem generic
some animals you should just watch and not shoot
im biased toward them since raptors are awesome but just...
Imagine a turkey vulture swooping down and stealing your diamond
š¤£
no one hunts them irl aside from when they're pests
its not an animal you hunt for fun
Iād be so pissed
this thing
Oh thatās cool
Wait!
If we get another south western map
Road Runner
And have it be a G1 that is the same colors as the Loony Toons character
They could do feral chickens because Ik some island have some populations and itās legal to hunt them is actually encouraged since theyāre evasive
Look at me and tell me this isnāt a good idea
tasmania is a very unique ecosystem so a lot of things are considered invasive/pests
thank god we dont have foxes (so far)
much of australia
yeah
How do i send images here?
i would love a more arid australia map
yes
Damn
With red kangaroos
rule of thumb anywhere with people has feral cats
True
wild dogs (not sure about cats but probably) get hunted here
We donāt have wild dogs here
Dingos
not for fun but because. theyre also horrible
no actual feral domesticated dogs
We have Coyotes but not Wild dogs
I was saying for an option to Hunt
feral dogs and cats are genuinely devastating
And foxes
Itās insane
some of the worst things you could ever unleash on an ecosystem
Especially when their not feral but the owners let the cat outside
Australia moment
I think we see how bad foxes are in game from how many maps have red foxes on them
honey bees are horrid in aussie
are they invasive? i never thought about that
Because cats will just kill for the hell if it
Ive already said we need an Australia 2 a million times now
they take up tree hollows that marsupials live in
yes
theyre from europe
and european wasps (vespula germanica)
would you fw feral horses hypothetically
damn
guess they're invasive in the US too then
never thought about that
The most invasive animal I can think of off the top of my head or wild boars. Or hogs or whatever you wanna call em
yes,
horses, donkeys, camels, dingos, red kangaroos, feral cats, water buffalo, scrub bull, wallaby, actual Australian waterfowl, rabbits/hares etc
tree hollows are a very important part of australia's ecosystems because many of the native mammals/marsupials and birds live/nest in tree hollows and honeybees take over those hollows
native bees don't swarm for the most part iirc
the ones i know of anyway
fire list
they dont live in hives they just kinda do their own thing
As someone that has horses never itās so sad when you have to put one down for health reasons I couldnāt fathom shooting one
how about zebras?
thats why i think out of all the bees we have here bumble bees my beloved are the least impact.... impactful is a word now
is impactful a word
yes definitely
Well Zebras are assholes so it would be justified at that point
we have alot of feral "domesticated" species in Australia that arnt healthy for the habitat
the damn Europeans
i got stung by a bumblebee when i was a kid because i was told it wasn't possible lmfao
Oof
still love them though
so many
I have actually never been stung by a bee before
twin
ive been stung more by bees than i have wasps, ive only been stung once by a wasp
Honestly zebras are different because they are more aggressive but at the same time I wouldnāt be happy about it but at the end of the day itās just a game
and I had it coming since my dumbass got it out of a vacant spiderweb WITH MY BARE HAND
Do yall have yellow jackets?
why did i DO THAT
those are european wasps
Oh
they aren't much different imo
i adore horses but invasive is invasive
Derp
cats are probably the most difficult for most people but there's a level of detachment from them you end up developing just with the lifestyle
Trust me as someone that wants to go into wildlife conservation I have done my research(not in a mean way I just realized that could rub off the wrong way)
yeah
rabbits and hares dont get me started on those good lord
I've run into a bug numerous times where a herd of deer stops moving. They run away and then are just frozen
theyre cute sure but i want every one wiped off the face of Australia lmao
there are unfortunately a lot of invasive animals we can't deal with because people get too emotional about it. cats primarily
What about hornets?
Feral horses and cats are probably a no-go even tho they are so horribly destructive in reality. Just too risky since people are emphathetic towards them
well actually one was found i think but it was a random
Even tho I never saw one
a taxidermized horse is a rare sight to behold
Yeah but they did it with the goats and pigs so itās not that far off a stretch
i feel like shooting them is a lot more ethical than other ways of killing them we have
like rats and stuff
if you poison a rat you are making it internally bleed to death
How would you feel about a Tasmania map? With Tasmanian Devils?
lmfao
lol
A wombat?
The difference between goats and pigs vs horses and cats is that goats and pigs are treated as farm animals that are consumed, meanwhile horses and cats are beloved companions
thats how i feel about the amazon
- too small
- there would be no unique animals since everything and i mean EVERYTHING is protected
Threatened species
Threatened species
Oh
i do not understand why anyone wants an amazon map
We love cancer
I mean to be fair we have Snow Leopards and Tigers which are endangered
they have facial tumors i think its cancer
Tigers are too and snow leopards
nothing is game animals and everything is bushes. actually.
this argument pmo
The tigers are presented as a problem species; you don't hunt snow leopards at all in the story
we've had this discussion a morbillion times
Wdym you donāt understand it would be so cool
Tbh I think we should only be able to hunt endangered species in video games
Theres so much potential for a second australia map dude... dingoes, red kangaroo, feral camels, brush cattle, perhaps some kind of a wallaby, and another water buffalo and european rabbit map like EC shouldve been
the only thing i could think of for wombat is "its digging holes" yeah thats what it does leave it alone
your shooting lane btw
yall couldn't even handle mississippi get real
i love missi
me too but the masses do not
shooting cats is way more ethical then using the 1080 poison traps on them
Potentially wombats but im not sure if those are hunted, oh emus are defo an option i think
Well I stand my case that a better South American map would be great
theres a very vocal minority of missi glazers in this server
Parque sucks
i love parque but it does suck
They could split it up into half mountains half jungle to make it funnier also I love Mississippi
it would be improved by fixing puma behavior
I hated it when I first tried it lol
I felt like I couldnāt find any animals or even need zones
exactly
Threatened species
im legally not allowed to be mean to it because of this little number here
Thatās fair
i sold my soul to parque
Saltwater crocs and european bison
My first Diamond was on Verhonga
Not a valid excuse anymore
well depending on the spot they are threatened
euro bison would be surreal in tasmania
yeah i dont like how we can hunt threatened and protected species its bs
Iām fine with it
I am listing threatened species that are ingame
oh i thought you were implying there was like a secluded population or something and i just believed you LMFAOO
Might as well be able to do it in a video game
in my eyes it makes it seem like the game is promoting hunting threatened species
I can see that argument
capercaillie and bengals are genuinely the farthest im willing to push it
Also at the end of the day we have to remember itās just a game but I do agree but at the same time I liked what they did with the tigers and snow leopards by only having a few on the map
But I see it more as āthis is the only place where you should be hunting these animalsā
i feel bad when i shoot a capercaillie lmfao
tigers and snow leopards feel fitting, because they're so iconic to nepal and because they're sought after trophy animals (unfortunately), it still manages to feel somewhat appropriate because they're very sparse and they feel almost revered(?) in game
helo
i feel okay shooting them in game and part of that is because im not blasting them left and right
i feel they were well done, but i hate when they're used as an excuse where its like "ohh well snow leopards are in game so why shouldn't i be allowed to shoot the last remaining jaguar in arizona"
"mountain bongo when"
yknow
ok but genuinely talking about tasmania map
In tasmania you can hunt fallow deer, wallaby (pademelon and bennetts/red-necked wallaby), wild duck (pacific black duck, grey teal, chestnut teal, australian shelduck, and maned/wood duck), brown quail, common pheasant, short-tailed shearwater, and european rabbits and hares
like theres literally nothing
Honestly yeah they could do something like that with giraffes because sometimes they have to shoot the old males that canāt mate anymore because they arenāt letting the younger ones breed
all of that can be added to a mainland reserve aside from the red-bellied pademelon bc its endemic
my turn on the xbox ahh
and shearwaters
yeah tasmania is just not working from an immersion perspective
literally
same for the amazon
we have 0 big animals you can hunt
no game animals
if anything itd be a duck only reserve
that's it
just ducks
and there would only be like 5 species lol
it just confuses me like sorry bro i am not really into tapirs
there just. isnt enough. to make a reserve out of tassie and im glad bc i dont want tassie to be seen as a hunting place, hunting does take place here obviously but there's so many animals here that deserve to be studied and researched instead of shot and all the animals people want to hunt like devils and quolls and possums and wombats are protected
it just does not make sense
White tail, brocket deer, Peccaries, Armadillos is what I could find
id get it if cotw was taking place in a fictional world but like its earth
with made up reserves
game animals
look inside
armadillos
also probably just a personal bias bc i live in tassie
That just what came up I didnāt really fact check it
Honestly off topic but I think we are getting closer to squirrels each update
some regions just shouldn't have a map dedicated to them
someone on reddit suggested the pantanal instead, which while still not really a realistic hunting location is miles better suited than the amazon
Can anyone help me get my first great one Iām on PlayStation
do it urself
Idk how
in this economy š„
Male what
I, as a Brazilian, would still prefer to refer to a map of the Cerrado.
of the animal you are wanting to get a g1 of
see now thats fire
Just look up drink times and go to the lakes that have the animals there simple
Ok
this pose shows off the leu so well
Real talk why havenāt they been backfilling anything recently
they hate you specifically and want you to suffer
LOL
I would love to have a map of Brazil, but the problem is that there aren't any large animals here that would catch attention.
hello my stupid
It used to be so cool hunting a new species on an old map but I donāt think itās happened since Emerald Coast
they'd be banking on the jaguar real hard
he is botch
whyd you do that
bc im dumb
I feel that
they JUST backfilled tahr on te awaroa
there was a whole update about it
Oh yeah I forgot about that I really have been avoiding that map because of my fallow grind
Yes, but apart from that, I don't know what else could be used, because yes, there are animals like deer here, but they are very scarce, and they live in the interior of the country; nobody sees them.
yeah. the cerrado i admit would be really cool but i just don't see the point when africa is still wide open for the taking
You walking through your lodge must be pain
i have 3
lmaoo cook her
one for dimes/g1s/super rares
one for rares
one for trolls/botch/tiny
the evil lodge
wanna see my meese
I completely agree, which is precisely why I created the concept of a map for Africa myself.
too bad im whipping them out
all trolls?
Yes
sad
aside from the two smalls
i've only been trolled by one, and it was sad cause it was on NEM and he looked really cool
That just reminded me that I got trolled by a super rare pie fallow
also my caribou and reindeer
gorgeous picture!!
aww the lesser one mount
i love teeny tiny bucks
one askiy and two medved
all caribou and reindeer are trolls, the two moose, red deer, goose, goat, and manitoban elk in the 4th picture are trolls
ill show my dime lodge hold
I really hope they make a Bass Pro type of mounts in the future
do i need better guns / ammo to kill a moose with one shot? i've been going for the lungs most of the time with a low bleed rate, idk what i'm doing wrong and i'm assuming its my aim since im new lmfao but i shoot where people tell me too š¤·āāļø
i was able to get a nice clean easy kill on a whitetail 250m away (impressive for me) but i have yet to kill a moose without shooting it multiple times
nice black bears
im sending more sorry not sorry
all the small platforms on the desks n stuff are filled with birds and rabbits
all dimes aside from the ones on the red plaques, as i said, placeholders
can someone lmk if its where im shooting or my equipment, literally first day ever playing and its super fun i just want a moose!
probably ur equipment
what gun are you using? the starting gun isn't suitable for moose
moose are class 8 and need a strong gun to take em down
yeaaa lol all starter guns.. thank you tho and if any rifle recommendations im gonna save for a new one i suppose
the first larger class gun i unlocked was the .7mm, it's only single shot but it'll get the job done
all sick tho how long has it taken you so far?
and if you have shotgun slugs unlocked those will also do, but you'll have to creep in pretty close especially with 12g
ive been playing since december 2021, i got 1.8k hours of playtime and i took a lot of breaks
don't need more than 1 anyway most times haha, sounds good tho thank you all for the help
a true hunter i see
im shocked how many people in here have played since release in 2017
I was 2 years late
Sigh
Iām such a L
yeah i played in 2020 a little with some friends but never really understood the game or tried too, now that i'm a little older i like calmer games
lowkey remember running around just hail mary wondering why i didn't get any kills lmao
Iāve been hammering this game since I got it in 2019 š
i played for 10 hours š first day
i like how optimized the game is and still able to have good graphics, rare to see nowadays lol
Bro Iām stuck In a tree 5 feet away from an outpost
fast travel?
I donāt have it claimed yet
I finally got my first diamond!!
march 2022 - june 2022 break, whatever the 8th month 2022 - dec 2022 break (i have one trophy in oct 2022), jan 2023 - march 2023 break, april 2023 - june 2023 break, nov 2023 - july 2024 break, end of july 2024 - march 2025, a few small breaks since then
I was 5 years late its ok
nice, what are the reqs for it? i got a gold today and i thought that was the highest lol
those are the times i didnt play
Newgen ew
Iāve got just the base game but not that many hours so I understand the breaks lol
You need luck, lol, but it's not that difficult; you should be able to get one in a week.
The score for diamond is different for each animal, you can hover over the score on the harvest screen to see the minimum score for each medal
my first was a merriam turkey
Newgen
okay this makes things a lot simplier thanks
seems like coach greaseworld is really a coach
Beceite ibex here
if i was older i'd have the game for longer i got it in 2021 i was 14
Go get em tiger
Get a whitetail jackrabbit as a first and be cool like me
it was my 3rd
:)
or 4th
something
i remember getting a
I got a moose
Not even that old just have animal and hunting autism š
im forgetful
2021 I was a age
im younger than you
im 18
turned 18 in june
Real
Oh we the same
tbh i been online since iwas like 9 but i didnt know about this game my friend randomly gifted it to me
not social media but roblox n stuff i mean by 9
i was a minecraft and roblox and terraria kiddo
i've had unrestricted internet access since 4 š
same
older brother put me onto the wii and xbox 360, then pops taught me to use a computer lol
oh
I genuinely hate unrestricted internet access
yeah ive had access to technology since younger than 9 but i really only started playing multiplayer games (bad idea for pre-medicated adhd autism anxiety depression)
Iāll never be the same š
i raged š
yeah cannot say it was the best idea tbf
its not a good idea
Classic
For realies
my father is playing games too so he was letting me use his pc
internet access is fine but as long as its monitored (this needs to happen, there is so much bad stuff on the internet) and no social media for youngins
yes i remember breaking a tv over a game when i was younger
Bad home life and unrestricted internet access is NOT a good combination
you said it first
i.t dad literally taught me crap ton about computers when i was like 7 lol
my brother and i fought over mario kart or something once on the DS and we broke it in half by pulling the screen and the bottom bit apart
i was like 6
I was put onto video games by toddling around in the basement and watching my dad play starcraft on the family computer
LMAO
the DS is an unlocked memory
i still have a ds
i watched my dad play diablo
i was told need for speed was too violent
we also had an atari
when it has 0 violence š siblings hated me
Incredibly similar experience mine also played hella WoW
Classic
my first proper console game was probably uh
minecraft for sure
but other than that ark survival evolved
unc!
i still dont know how to play in survival i used commands
my dad's atari
I genuinely donāt remember enough of my childhood to be included in this š
i only remember the useless stuff
^ š
When i first played Minecraft it was a birthday gift on my moms laptop and i didnāt know how to move because i had never played a game that used WASD before so i just stood there until night time and then a zombie came and i got scared and didnt turn it back on for a month
everyones first
... š never once looked up how to play or move
I was like 7 and i didnt know how to alt tab
i remember getting ark and the family ps4 for christmas (i still have the ps4 its old but a beast i spilled coca cola next to it once) it was when scorched earth first released/came with scorched earth, i was raging about dying then i discovered commands and then never played the game properly
well i did play the game properly in another server but it was pve
now that i'm older i'd probably like arc too lol, you can like ride dinosaurs and stuff right? flying ones? š
ye
my first and only laptop i got when i was.. 10? also still have that, thing barely runs bc i abused it
first day i got that laptop i spilled lemonade on it LMAOOO
ngl i find dragon/flying animal physics so fun to play with in games that have it, like heck yeah im on a flying dragon going 80mph
keys were stuck a bit but its fine now beside from a faint loss of LED in the area
Multiple keycaps are broken off
The S key does not work at all (i copy and paste it or use z as substitute whenever i use it)
It starts in BIOS mode
The battery doesnt last more than 5 minutes off the charger
Games take like 3 minutes to open
is anyone down to do a hunt any animals w me
gn y'all thanks for the help i will be back unfortunately it is 4:00 am so it is bedtime
Ark looks like this
Rip laptop, no working s key is horriblr
oh also the hinge for the screen is broken on one side and i cant close/open the screen any further than it currently is (stuck half closed) but thats bc of faulty hinge design in the company and age not my own fault
Try in #š¦ļø“find-a-game , you can reach out to people there as well
It was thirsty !!
playing cotw on that laptop was an experience
Typa game you see someone playing in a movie
add me, im new to the game but im looking for people to play with, going to bed so another time?
until i got a MOUSE and MOUSE!!
cat things
Little cousin playing on a 16 inch tv and its always either that or postal 2
anyway time to play skyrim bye losers/j
Based skyrim
You mean to tell me thatās an actual game

Renamed
Iām sorry š
carrion is a ublly
bully
our first interaction was them being mean and then they stole a diamond caribou off the yukon mp i was on bc i didnt kick them since i recognised their name and i was NICE
Mod abuse
i had searched the entirety of 3 multiplayer yukon maps and gotten all trolls and they come in the FIRST ONE THEY SHOOT IS A DIME THEN THEY LEAVE š
i got a pie at least from that server
and ended up getting my dime on my own map
#AlwaysKickCarrion
getting dimes in singleplayer feels way better than getting it on mp imo
You can take your time and setup how you want
If im on my own map i always set up and ambush
you're not welcome
Boooo
DOVAHKIIN DOVAHKIIN I DONT KNOW THE REST OF THE LYRICS
anyway bye
wait thers a video i need to post
LMAO
I should spawn camp delete it
For the meme

Yes
Iāve already redirected you to #š¦ļø“find-a-game
you took to long to respond
Please donāt spam
If ppl donāt wanna hunt they donāt wanna hunt if they wanna hunt theyāll be in #š¦ļø“find-a-game
Sh.. shhhb. Iāve got this
Wait but like have you heard of #š¦ļø“find-a-game
Itās vry good
Iāve heard stories

You unlock the guns in the pack free just have to buy them for free in the shop after
yay
only 1.59
dollhair
Damn which dlc is that cheap right now??
6 or 7 of them
the
high calibre
the scope
@drowsy hornet which map is good for hunting animal not so big and not so small and not too hard
yeah am going to emerald coast
jesuss
Hey wanna hunt/s
wanna do a hunt
Someone from poland?
When joining random multiplayer lobbies, how do I know if the one I have joined is modded or not? Trying to completely avoid them
good luck
maybe Revontuli coast if your talking about a dlc
You can't always know right away, but at least one giveaway is if there is a massive amount of high level animals, great ones or rares. Other one is speedhacking, sometimes you see people on the map move super fast across the map
I got my first great one yesterday in an online lobby and I am now doubting if it was legit or not š
Tbh, probably modded
It's possible but extremely rare
I was only in the lobby for like 20 mins so I didn't have enough time to verify if the rarities of things was suspicious
It was a nice boar that was part of a group
rest of them looked normal
Yeah it's hard to say then š¤
It's a shame that the game doesn't show a warning when joining one or something š¤·
Modding is against the game's TOS. I assume the devs never realized how big of an issue modding online would become
Ah I see, oh well. For now I will just assume I was really lucky
Is it not safe to just join random online lobbies then?
Nah i would say its modded
If I have no way to know for certain I will just assume i'm lucky. Doesn't hurt anyone xD
I mean no it will not hurt anyone but i still say it 100% modded
Idk much about it because I don't play PC anymore but some people say modded servers can mess with your own game files, if you just leave when you see something sus you're probably ok though
You on pc?
Ye
Mmm i see, odd there is no warning of that in the game
Thats logical.
Oh youāre mean like give a warning there can be modded lobies
I mean yeah just any kind of warning, I am pretty new to the game and just assumed most lobbies would be fine
I have only played on public multiplayer twice though
My first diamond was definitely legit though thankfully
if i want to find 08:00-12:00 zones for whitetail does it need to be that time of day to find the zones? or can i find them at 17:00. Beacause i am not finding many zones
Anyone on rn wanna play
Try and look for zones at that time so you can spot the deer giving you the zone
So set time to like 8:30 or9
thx man
this sucks why are every single objective DOWNWIND
i cant seem toi get the bond over 1 hearth and it lasts for like 2 minutes
how can i do it? i always scare them with the 4x4
legs
Is this rare
ye
man its soa nnoying i cant take an exisiting loadout and tinker with it a bit and then save that to another slot
The zone indicator tracks stay on the ground for 3 hours after the zone time has ended, so you should be able to find them until 15:00
im searching for players on pc that wants to play
Any1 getting annoying lil glitches tracking cone not showing animal info wen spotted or foot prints ?
just bought new dlc š time for lil grind
No way
does anyone wants to play with me ( PC )
For future reference please do not discuss percentages or exact odds of occurrences within the game! Itās datamined information and disallowed 
Using ācommon, uncommon, rare, very rareā are all A-okay though!
Rlly thankful for the filtering system that actually sheds light on the specific rarities in game now
whats the best shotgun
What is your definition of the best
I always rock with the 12G personally
The Cacciatore has 6 rounds, plus you can always put 12G slugs in
Can destroy multiple birds in one shot
I cannot remember for the life of me if itās 12GA or 12G
Either is fine I think
yeah whenevr i open back the game reset my progress
someone help me
Think they both mean gauge so.. shrugs , but yea theyāre really nice , and itās recently been changed so that new players will not have to unlock the 12GA birdshot which is GOLDEN
like i already hunted so many things in the span of 2 hour
i dont get it
i need help
Yk I found a melanistic but it fled
Oughh that doesnāt sound good , can you give some more info in #š¦ļø“help-and-tips
am depressed
Track it and be patient, its not gonna despawn
i did
but no one there
:(
Is your cloud save ok
Youāll need to provide a little more info that just the fact the progress is lost , such as what platform youāre on
am on steam
after i download
Nah I left not knowing it was rare
F
I think it was diamond potential too
Anyone on pc wanna chill and farm birds on revontuli
iirc animals persist across sessions but I may be wrong
What?
If you log out then log in you could in theory find the same animal you saw
Oh ok, that was like a few days ago anyway
Anyone currently playing ?
Lmao I just shot a duck out of the sky with the 7mm from 150 meters away
they do
the savefile to the reserve tracks them
man it barely penetrates
what distance you shooting from tho?
like 50 meters
it's effective up until.. ehh personally i only go to 60m even if it says 75m
if you want penetration at a longer distance you'd go for a rifle , the point of the birdshot is to cover as wide an area as possible so you get at least a chance to hit a fast moving target
i've got plenty of powerful shots at 50m, and some that barely touched
25m and closer is swiss cheese range
man that could been so cool but stopped right before the heart
i managed a heart and liver shot once, no lungs
i still don't know how
must've ducked righttt under the lungs
through the narrowest gap
That's impressive š
What should I do to get diamond whitetail on my map Iāve hav over 200 kills but no dimes
Keep shooting them
Hey guys, is anyone interested in a practical guide showing how to hit small targets at extreme ranges reliably? IE using the .45 Cyclone beyond 200m, the various .22 calibers beyond 300m, or bows/crossbows beyond 100m/150m?
I see a lot of guides on zeroing but they seem to revolve almost entirely around the Zeroing Perk, rather than actual ballistic drop and how to compensate reliably
How rare level 3 whitetail on layton
Lvl 3 is potential diamond
If I had to guess I'd say that, without herd management, the average percentage of bucks being lvl 3 on any given map is 10% or less.
Scotland is a phenomenal map to hunt any of it's species due to the hills giving you unprecedented vantage opportunities. 10/10 sniper map.
w
Iād reckon so as it had a much smaller and more condensed population as compared to other maps
k il just have to look at a guide where to set up all my feeders
first wanna reach lvl 30 first am about 11 levels away
With some very careful positioning with feeders you could possible capture every boar in the population via feeders
Try to find drink zones in water sources below the hills, you can set feeders near the drink zones and set your hunting structure up on a hill. If you can confidently take 400m shots you can even take out multiple without spooking the herds if you're slow about it and don't use a class 9 capable rifle
Really charming layout of my feeders
k tysm but last question what would you say is the best rifle for the boars?
See the red circles at the bottom
thx bro
That represents their 400m range
ahh
This was my old setup, soo inefficient because of the overlapping ranges , boars do travel a pretty far distance between different zones so as long as they hit at least one of these red circles theyāll be drawn in to the feeder
Any rifle capable of class 6 kills can easily take a boar at 400m.
so from what i understand so far is place feeders close to drink zones but not too close to eachother and set up tens and ground blins 250 to 200 m away from the feeders?
k thx but if u had to pick one
You will want to prioritize lung shots and use polymer ammo though. Class 7 rifles can likely penrtrate bone and brute force organ shots at long range. I'm not positive which ones will be quiet enough at 400m, though, as I tend to use the bare minimum necessary for single lungs
The .243 or .270 would likely work just fine. I am a big fan of the starting rifle.
k thx but am i getting the right idea?
Correct, that's the standard setup and will allow you to travel without spooking as well. If you're shooting from that range you can also disregard the noise of the rifle and just use a .7mm
ahh so if i set up 400m away i can shoot multiaple without spooking the hoard?
Depending on the rifle, yes, you'll set some as Alert instead of Alarmed, and if you wait for them to calm down they'll be shootable again. If you have two herds 50m or so apart, you should be able to alternate shooting one from each and wipe them out quite efficiently. It's been a while since I've done that though, so I'm not confident on which rifles have the proper sound profile.
anyone know off the top of their heads the max effective range of 10 gauge buckshot?
I believe buckshot's technical effective range is 50m, bit you will not be getting organ shots even at severely close range.
In short, it seems to be designed as a trauma round for culling rather than an ethical trophy round.
I've shot wildebeest at 20m with 10ga buckshot and one of them survived. Not a reliable round.
Anyone down to help me set up my g1 whitetail grind? Ps5
Hi
how good is the secondary hunter job for the dog
Howdy! It's been a long time in the making but I finally, as they say, bit the bullet, and joined this server, long time COTW player since '17 on Xbox console, obsessed with finding the Wild Haggis, it's so ugly it's cute! š„°
does reseting the secondary job reset it to level 1
yo dose know what map is best to hunt Redfoxes
What the freak is that penetration
Yeah the .22lr has the best class 1 penetration of any weapon at the cost of poor ballistics at long range and ONLY being class 1 capable. Very good rabbit gun though.
Well, almost any weapon. Bows and crossbows are unmatched.
And marten gun
Love taking down the large tube socks at 170 yards with it
yo dose know what map is best to hunt Redfoxes
I use the .22h because I prefer longer range shots, but the .22lr is so silent I have been tempted to swap for Mink hunting specifically.
Scotland tbh
Their drink zones are super open
The park, I forget the name, but it's a small game only map and Foxes run rampant in the fields.
i dont have the dlc
ugh got knocked out and now need to travel 4km to get the stuff i shotr
Salt Marsh Park
I can't wait to set up my fox g1 grind on Scotland
60 beautifully open zones for shooting
can i come?
Scotland is a prime map for easy hunts, those hills are to die for
I don't play multiplayer sorry. Especially not during grinds
Foxes gotta be the most annoying animals in the game
It's amazing all around. Currently running my g1 boar grind then I'm gonna follow it up with fallow
I only care about class 4 and below animals, so when I run into Diamond or G1 large game I give the hunt away. I'm about to start a whitetail grind again and when I do I also casually grind moose. I'm pretty sure I'm due for a diamond or better, it's been a year or so since I've seen one.
is any albino worth saving?
what should i buy scotland or salt marsh park
Scotland
i mean 12⬠man idk
100% Scotland. Peak map for general hunting, whether you want large or small game or anything in-between.
both
Only map I've seen that let's me reliably and routinely hunt class 1-2 from 400m without scouring the map for a valid vantage point
Id personally rather have rare furs than diamonds. I love rare furs
Scotland is 100% the choice
it is? my friend said its buns
Scotland is great!
No self promo rule there bud. Before you go much further with that
Same, I have a few nice diamonds but my absolute favorite trophy is this fox. I have never taxidermied an animal so fast. š
Itās good if you want to run and gun or grind for GOs.
It's great regardless. I've done around 50 hours of run and gun on it
ok
Now I'm on my boar g1 grind
Your friend needs to be diagnosed. š
I recently cleared out all my lodges except for rare furs and the whole 3 diamonds I have. If it ain't rare furs or diamon im not gonna keep it. I tend to hoard things and I dont wanna end up cluttered with too many trophies
how good is the secondary job for hunting dog or whatever it was called
Good. My pointer does great with tracking along with his main job
Very handy. Tis quite nice to have the basic skill of another dog to use
coimpared to liek retriver
Im doing my retriever to point as his secondary when I do bird hunting
Wild Boar, Red Deer, Mink, Badgers, Feral Goat, Red Grouse, Red Fox, Highland Hare, Fallow Deer and more can all be found just mingling together on the same hillside or at the same watering hole. The landscape is perfect for both ambush and stalker hunting, and it's also one of the few maps where the Pointer can genuinely shine, since you're not constantly fighting the landscape to see what your dog is pointing at. It's a gem of a map and if not for Salzwiesen Park, it would be the single best small game map without exception, for the species that inhabit it.
I've got a bloodhound with a secondary in Pointer that is very reliable, but Pointer with a Secondary in Bloodhound is what I'm currently raising, for easy quick-commands to point and flush. I don't need the tracking command on demand so it's slightly tedious with my current dog. The secondary skills are very good, as well, but they don't benefit from the dog's levels, as a Bloodhound gets Tracker specific level perks while a Pointer gets Point specific perks, and so on. Still, even at base the skills are great.
I see little use for the retriever with my playstyle though, sadly. Never bothered with it.
I'm pretty comfortable with tracking since I primarily snipe, so the base level tracking is good enough for me. If you're struggling to find shot prey then the levels in Tracker will be a godsend, since the bloodhound will often skip trails and beeline to the target directly at higher level perks.
wow i love the fur type super rare right?
The game has a built-in camera, but idk what the button is for PC. It's hold square on PS5.
P is the default for camera
hi theree, just for reference we don't allow the sharing of specific percentages such as fur types as it's datamined info !! tysm for your understanding
please just use the terms "common, uncommon, rare, very rare" as those are accessible info in the game !
Understood, thanks for letting me know!
Wats the level needed to post images ?
Silver, iirc
Ah OK tys
lol
holy nice rack
can the retriver only collect class 1
Only class 1 at base/secondary.
feel like it should atleast be able to do class 2 as well
Idk if it has a perk to allow for class 2, I feel like it would.
guess i might as well just give it another secondary job at that point
Guaranteed troll rack...
Retriever is a pretty mid skill tbh. If you're primarily bird hunting then you won't be going far to collect your catches, only real use for it would be if you're shooting over an area with really tall grass that might obscure them.
Can any1 help me with herd management on Fallow Deer in Te Awaora?
so what things can it flush out as a pointer secondary vs primary and what can a secondary tracker do vs primary
The pointers key trait when it's the primary is the ability to species search. When you pick up a track, you can have your dog search for only that species instead of using the generic class range
thats teh only thing?
And highlighting the animal itās pointing to
The bloodhounds key trait when primary is the ability to skip over blood trails entirely if the target is downed and just run straight to the body
can i get a new dog to have its main job be pointer and secondary tracker
Other than that the specific traits r just like āur dog will look further yadadada whateverā
Absolutely
Thatās my current setup
Watch some videos! There's plenty on the subject
skipping over the trail isn tsuper usefull
it would be pointer tracker for me
Ii have but I donāt understand stand then
I love the skip tbh. Saves me so much time when I'm forced to botch a shot
but tracker pointer also seems nice
It's extremely unlikely you'll find someone to set it up for you. They take some time and knowledge of your own map to really do well
I just need help setting it up
Honestly just start with a couple zones and feel it out then go from there! You'll learn a lot as you do it. Nothing beats hands on experimenting
You don't need help. It's entirely possible for you to do it. In the time you'll spend trying to find someone willing to dedicate their time to your grind, you could have it set up yourself
And by doing it and learning it, you can then use that knowledge on all future grinds. It's a win win
So from what I understand, you kill the smaller deer places you want bigger deer but how do I get like a bigger bigger deer
Donāt worry about herd management right now if you havenāt grinded before
Thatās your one way ticket into burnout
Just setup on some zones , and shoot males of the species you wanna nab a great one of
So when you say zones, is that like the water drinking spots
Yep! Or if you have the feeders dlc , those can be used to create zones for compatible species too
Do you think the feeder DLC is worth it?
Oh 100% if you like or want to hunt the species they bait
grinding boar and fallow at the same time which one will pop first
I'm chasing my second g1 boar now
My numbers are starting to look squished so maybe today
If the fallow are annoying I can just grind the morning feed time for boars
So should I be doing white tail deer for my first g1
I am pretty new to the game just trying to get an understanding of how to get better deer on my map
You can do! Thatās pretty fun on Layton with feeders
The easiest grinds at the moment are mule deer on askiy, fallow or red deer on te Awaroa , and wolves
Are you level 60 yet ? Because whilst grinding is helpful to level up, Iād keep it balanced with some good ol running n gunning , that way you can find plenty of unique trophies and explore the map
Is it rare to get 2 diamond mulies back to back in 2 minutes?
What about whitetail on revontuli
Thatās a good one too!
Itās nothing incredible , cool though! If itās on multiplayer though Iād be wary
Ngl boar is feeling pretty easy on Scotland
So I am level 12 what would be the best way to level up
It was offline and they were my first diamonds! My heart was racing and I didnāt know if it was rare. Thanks!
Can any1 help me with herd management on Fallow Deer in Te Awaora?
are u on pc?
No
dang
Oooh nice!!! Thatās super cool then tbh !!
Just keep shooting , missions are great too, and unlocking POI ,outposts , lookout points
Ok thanks!
What is the best map for wild boars?
I'm gonna be completely honest, if you ask if any non-cosmetic DLC is worth the buy, the answer will almost always be yes. The DLC is how they keep the game alive and fresh, and much of it can change the way you play the game entirely. If you see it on sale and it interests you, it's likely worth the money if you can afford it.
how do i get the dog to actualyl rest
Stay-Lay Down
Cuatro, torr nan sithean, hirsch
If you're referring to it's energy levels, just praise it after every successful command or pet/play/feed it a treat occasionally, and it'll stay at full.
Thx
awh ok
If you're running around with it and it drops a heart, praise it and it'll go right back up. š
So does when I placed the feeder and I put the stuff inside of it does all the food that you can buy just work for any animal
not the bond the focus
No, there are two types of feed for feeders which will attract different animal groups, and the feeder type will influence what can be lured as well
I keep bond and focus up this way. It stays at 3/3
If Iām trying to get white tailed deer, what one would I use?
Any grain feeder with pellets
as far as i'm aware whitetail will come into either feed
The first feed option is for deer, the 2nd is for rabbits and such.
If i dont have ps plus can i stil play multiplayer?
use post feeders over box feeders 1000%
bears will just destroy your feeders otherwise
Oooh really? That's good to know. I'll have to swap my feed.
Box feeders honestly useless
for the whitetail grind, you wanna shoot the males in your zones, the max level they reach is 3-Very Easy (aside from 10-Fabled a the great one of course!) , our best bet with getting nice respawns is to shoot the bucks with the biggest antlers first
They attract less animals and can get destroyed
I thought box feeders wouldn't attract unwanted larger deer species as their niche, in return for being susceptible to bears
i've never rlly found use for the box feeders, i used em on hirsch just to give them a chance but post feeder just sweeeeeeeeeeeeeps in every way
i think i've got fallow, roe, boar and red deer all coming into my post feeders on hirsch with just one type of feed
Box feeders are okay enough for deer if you're on a bear-free map
they're a bit cheaper + lighter to carry
Right, if I'm not mistaken box feeders won't attract large deer species such as red deer or elk correct?
@shrewd delta in response to your dm question!
no, they do
i've had red deer at my box feeders for sure
I think
I know reds are
ah yeah
pellet feed all the way if you're using a box feeder
How do I get the deer to respawn
unless you're specifically looking for nilgai, gemsbok, or kudu
just wait a bit, they'll come back
Ok
Okay, so it looks like the Box Feeder is a bit more selective but not in regards to deer. Interesting
i'm sure i've had roe, boar, red and fallow deer on my post feeders with multigrain
lemme hop on Hirsch and check
Multigrain for me, with a bear feeder off a ways. I don't like hunting the larger game, they'd just be a waste of feed. Does the post feeder have a similar attraction limitation for it's multigrain?
Post feeder attracts rabbits and hares so that's all i use them for
Scrub hare farming in the savannah became so easy with the feeder lol
post feeder has a wider attraction variety
What reserve do I get I have the 2 base game ones and silver ridge
Cuatro
Scotland.
Yeah i'm grinding antelope jackrabbit with post feeders now
Already did wt jackrabbit
I need one of these so badš
The lion doesnāt concern himself with hunting pressure
What time did you grind for the jackrabbit? I've been meaning to do this myself
I think uh you should hunt another zone lol
ok liking spotter
Does auto call not work on console?
Anyone down to hunt big animals? PS5 or ps only
#š¦ļø“find-a-game for that
Bro no one is talking lol
Have you reached out to anyone there ?
Nice
I just got the game, what preserve should I start on?
I think Iām gonna go with Layton Lakes
Yes
Saseka trophy lodge is the better lodge correct?
man the tracks arent higlighting the direction the creature went for some reason
what is the howl command good for?
Can you still get respawns for geese if itās dead zone pressure
I have the perk that should draw a line where the tracks and animals are
But it doesnt seem to be working
Well, the skill or whatever was that ability
Is that bugged?
ok guess it dosent work at night without the flashlight'
Yo
Yes tracks will disappear after sunset
3-6 i believe
Is there anyway to fix the broken mutliplayer bug or do we have to wait until the devs fix it?
Yes it works, aim toggle has to be on, hold left trigger while you pull right to start calling and you're good
for the pointer what use is the howl command
how long was the grind
Why would you use the howl...
It's useless
well thats why IM ASKING
this was grindless
i dont kn ow what it could be used for therefore my question
š
Nothing
That's why it's useless
@cobalt spear what pattern of g1 gray is rarest?
The auto-caller does work on console, what are you trying to do specifically?
was it singleplayer?
Some were, this one wasn't
I joined a full server tho, nothing was out of ordinary
It's likely modded then
U think so?
Yeah
No one in their right mind grinds wolves on askiy
to filter that away
A full MP server on PC likely indicates modding
Check out other animals
it was like 5/8
the other animals were normal rarity
and money was normally given
so idk how to check
Plus a g1 on multiplayer is almost never legit
I stopped playing on PC entirely because of modders.
Sadly not
Mods aren't allowed in the first place so there are no filters for it
Which is why i'm glad there's no crossplay
Hmm
So
I shuld delete the g1
But can i check if its
actually legit
cause like other wolves were normal rarity
and i get normal amount of money for killing
And there were no weird hunting pressures
That means nothing really
Besides, arent g1 spawns serverside?
So you cant force that even with a mod right?
The game randomly spawns
It's kind of like a slider, you can choose how many are spawned
No
I once was ina server where someone decided to teleport all animals in one spot
So i immediately left
thats how i knew it was modded
but this one was animals everywhere normal rates from what ive seen
so idk if i should keep this one
I smell mod talk
No
Whether or not you keep it is entirely up to you. It is possible it's legit. Just very unlikely.
so i cant disable servres that use mods and idk how to check lol
