-# ive been in it

[whole vine]

Rdr satisfies the . Fishing needs

Arthur talks to the fish . So

https://tenor.com/view/rdr2-arthur-morgan-you-sir-are-a-fish-fish-fishing-gif-21640724

[raw root]

I fished a ton in final fantasy 15 😂

[dark barn]

you literally have to walk around with this like thick ass might-aswell-be-a-gameboy stuck inside your damn pocket and then you have to figure out how to wear it while sleeping too

[stray sand]

There's actually fish in the water in CotW

Wouldn't surprise me if there's more fishing stuff in the future

[dark barn]

they wont add fishing to this game and likely wont return to the market for it

[whole vine]

I may consider asking if they can just take a reading from my ankle or wherever 😭 anywhere but my arm

I don’t like it!! I ain’ttttt like it

[dark barn]

they couldnt make it once i doubt they'll try again for a long while

[whole vine]

Shoutout to those fish in Layton that scared me

When I got my night vision binos out

[dark barn]

they can never find my pulse in my legs which really freaks me out

[junior marsh]

Yeah they've got a strong market with this game... any future attempts wouldn't be for a long long time if ever. They are better off investing every bit of their attention in this game

[raw root]

any chance they make a ps5 version of thehunter?

[whole vine]

Fish jumpscare

[raw root]

surprised its stuck on ps4

[junior marsh]

Not likely unless they rewrite for separate builds with the new gen

[oak jacinth]

Question my drink zones I'm finding for red deer soon as I shoot 1 deer my drink zone vanishes is there anyway I can stop that happening or

[dark barn]

doubtful, they have version specific settings but making a full upgrade could potentially lead to them having to abandon last gen users

[junior marsh]

If you're shooting solos that's going to happen

[oak jacinth]

Ohhh that makes sense

[junior marsh]

Yee

They'll respawn and their zone could be anywhere in their areas

[dark barn]

but like how r u going to tell me u cant find a pulse in my inner thigh, ankle, knee or anywhere and act like thats normal

[junior marsh]

Herds get kinda tied to a spot unless you kill them all and/or deadzone the area

[oak jacinth]

Every red deer I've found has been very hard and they been solo so I've been shooting them all 😅😅😅

Thank you 😁I've had soo many red deer that should have been diamond but gold instead massive racks on the as well

[whole vine]

Level 7 racks are soooo pretty

[raw root]

so if I'm just starting out does the game do a good job of leading me to what I should be doing?

[stray sand]

Yeah it does show you around

[junior marsh]

If you play the singleplayer missions it'll go through all the key/essential stuff you need to know to play

[stray sand]

But tbh yeah you are just popping goose and deers not that complicated

[junior marsh]

But as for what you should be doing, the beauty of this game is you can just kinda wing it and pick the way you wanna go about it

[stray sand]

Dont have it as main screen content however

Usually I go /borderless and just put it on second monitor

[junior marsh]

Some run and gun, some like setting up callers and feeders for blinds/stands

[stray sand]

Especially if you are doing ambush type hunting

[raw root]

sounds good. I just hate when I'm dropped somewhere with no instructions and expected to figure it all out myself

[stray sand]

Cos I dont like hitting g walking 10 mins

[junior marsh]

My games are always main screen 😂

[stray sand]

The ambush hunter watches youtube while waiting for the red deers

[junior marsh]

I always pay attention when moving around from place to place. Never know what you might run into and get to shoot

[stray sand]

Oh yeah

[junior marsh]

It's how I got my first couple diamonds

[stray sand]

Especially like the ring neck phesants

They have super low alert range

Sometimes you see one just appearing right next to your feet

[broken nacelle]

Someone dm me who knows a lot about this game I got a question about a photo

[regal mauve]

anyone else think this is the scariest thing ever said in here?

[broken nacelle]

Lmao it’s about a couple deers I got

They said melanisrix and piebald an they were at the same lake are they rare

[regal mauve]

yep!!!

very rare

both of them???

[broken nacelle]

Oh okay

[oak jacinth]

What trophy rating are diamond red deer?

[broken nacelle]

Yeah they were like 300 m away from eachother

[regal mauve]

251

[regal mauve]

dang nice one!

[broken nacelle]

Thanks. I’m new so I didn’t know if they were

[oak jacinth]

Thought this was close to diamond clearly not tho 😅😅 I'm 600kill on and no diamond yet

[regal mauve]

if u download the companion app on ur phone u can check rares for any animal! i use it quite often for that lol

[broken nacelle]

Okay

[cobalt spear]

Only 9s can make diamond

[oak jacinth]

9s legendary tho isit not?

[regal mauve]

if u see like ‘melanistic’ ‘piebald’ ‘leucistic’ ‘albino’ theyre defo rare! but lots of animals have their own unique ones

[regal mauve]

yarp! i imagine 8s can make diamond its just that rare with reds u never see them lmao

[oak jacinth]

I'm shooting them all 😅😅 7s up 😅😅 just hoping Scotland pays off 😂

[broken nacelle]

Oh okay

[cobalt spear]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/17MZHyDo2N58YslkdNHTGnN9xdSazLfx7gP1zs6K4bg8/htmlview?pli=1#gid=946134408

Just use this

[regal mauve]

dawg what u got against the app dont force a scary spreadsheet on a beginner no new player wants to look at that 😭

[cobalt spear]

I'm too lazy to use the app💔

[regal mauve]

that spreadsheet is worse to me icl 😭

[cobalt spear]

I just go off memory i don't use the spreadsheet either

[oak orbit]

real

[raw root]

Is it the COTW App?

[oak orbit]

when you reach the point you dont need to open anything to know everythings dime score, rares, max weights. youve hit ultimate no life status🤜🤛

[oak orbit]

cotwguide, cotwcompanion

both are good

[south stone]

oh i didnt realise it got updated

[oak orbit]

also theres like a website, my buddy uses

[regal mauve]

tbf yeah for most ive got it down but its useful with some random rares. never wouldve known ‘red spotted’ was rare for sika if i didnt have the app and was like ‘what kinda lame rare is this’ 😭😭😭

[cobalt spear]

Dark brown wood bison💔

[oak orbit]

https://thehuntercotw.fandom.com/wiki/TheHunter:_Call_of_the_Wild_Wiki

[cobalt spear]

Tawny marten💔

[oak orbit]

i got a troll sr red spotted.. 5 med, 1.6 under dime

[regal mauve]

sika are just so stupid and i acc love them

i just wish they had some more fun rares

[oak orbit]

theyre bino is pretty

[regal mauve]

i acc got one its female but still cool

[leaden nebula]

SR albino whitetail just trolled

From my new game

https://tenor.com/view/its-a-tragedy-tragedy-accident-its-bad-daniel-davis-gif-16804355

[cobalt spear]

Mf show

[leaden nebula]

I didn’t ss

[regal mauve]

how do u NOT ss the worst moment of ur life?

[leaden nebula]

I already have one

[cobalt spear]

Send in lodge

Silly

[leaden nebula]

You’ve already seen it

I’m not on rn but I’ll try to find the ss

[cobalt spear]

Huh when

[leaden nebula]

May or may not of rage quit

[leaden nebula]

March last year

[cobalt spear]

Oh zamn

[leaden nebula]

Goldfish ahh memory

@cobalt spear I also saw this pic do Yk if it’s legit

[elder wharf]

anyone red deer knowledgeable? @me if so

[woven ferry]

its probably from when they were bugged when rancho launched

[leaden nebula]

Can they spawn naturally I kinda want one

[woven ferry]

otherwise modded most likely

only piebald

but there was a bug when rancho came out where the furs were bugged

[leaden nebula]

I thought they could

[woven ferry]

no

only piebald for whitetail go

[cobalt spear]

don't think so

There's only fabled pie

[broken nacelle]

What’s the best gun for whitetail go grind

[cobalt spear]

.300

[broken nacelle]

In what pack

[woven ferry]

whatever kills em quick use correct weapon for dimes or above

[cobalt spear]

high cal or from yukon

[elder wharf]

Any red deer pros?

[broken nacelle]

Okay

[cobalt spear]

Better to get yukon since you get that + a map

[faint geyser]

Im addicted

I can't stop buying and then abandoning weapons...

But i needd them

Also

What weapon pack do you guys think will be added

I don't hunt irl so idk alot about hunting weapons

[wary arrow]

I don’t see the sun sisters lake hype. No mtn lions are showing up at their drink time🫠

[celest bronze]

is cotw supposed to be a stalk hunt type of game?

because for me at least ive been able to get within like 30 meters of a deer without it smelling me or caring which kinda makes it annoying with everything fleeing from some simple walking

[junior marsh]

This is actually against the server rules. You're gonna wanna delete this

[junior marsh]

It's a free-choice hunting game imo. You can stalk hunt, you can run and gun, you can call things into range of blinds/stands... many many ways to approach the hunt

It's just whatever is the most fun for you

[leaden nebula]

Gotta crouch

[vagrant compass]

Finally level 40 since hitting restart, took a month-ish break though, 9 more levels until I have disturbed veg back 😭

[foggy sleet]

Do badgers go too feeders

[leaden nebula]

Should be a tab to see

But I’m 99% sure they don’t

[cobalt spear]

No

[undone locust]

will someone give me a guieded hunt pls1 dm if u will! realyyyyyyyy want my first dimond

[leaden nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/missed-shot-basketball-lakers-gif-11423573

[slender brook]

(HELP) Can someone please help me fix my fps issues it’s so annoying it’s only when I aim down sights

[undone locust]

will someone give me a guieded hunt pls1 dm if u will! realyyyyyyyy want my first dimond

[slender brook]

I’m on a brand new Xbox series S btw I didn’t have issues like this on my 8 year old Xbox one

[narrow mantle]

Bro unlocked michaels active skill from GTA5

[leaden nebula]

File a ticket

[slender brook]

What does that mean?

[leaden nebula]

With ew

[slender brook]

Crazy work

[leaden nebula]

Google customer service I think

[slender brook]

Alright

[foggy sleet]

As I was hunting for badgers

[narrow mantle]

On the one i always had such issues, and rarely rarely on my series s, i think its just a xbox/console thingie happening

(Or maybe the phenomenon of optimization)

[slender brook]

So you have no issues on your series S?

[slender brook]

Do you know of any optimisation that could help my issues?

[narrow mantle]

Only slight fps drops in my trophy lodge, and when several ducks fly up at the same time

I think the console just cant handle something if that kind of lag happens

[slender brook]

That’s weird I purchased mine brand new like a few months ago and it’s always that framey whenever I ADS

[narrow mantle]

Hmm

Well im not a dev and cant help you solving that proplem obviously, best option you have is searching through reddit posts and get in contact with the devs of idk Microsoft or the game itself

[kindred wigeon]

wsp guys can any of you add me on the hunter call of the wild i am kind of new and need a friend or 2

[slender brook]

Yeah I know but thank you for your help. I’ve sent a report to EW and I’ve been asking around on reddit for the past week or so but still nothing

[narrow mantle]

If u really really wanna play cotw just go back to the good old xbox one

[leaden nebula]

Sorry everyone hates me and ik u wouldn’t enjoy my friendship

[narrow mantle]

Not a big difference in the game performance (except loading times tbfs)

[kindred wigeon]

yes i would

[slender brook]

You’re right haha it’s collecting dust under my bed

[narrow mantle]

How dare you

[leaden nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-hyrax-funny-stan-twt-hyrax-animal-gif-6592223029061540848

[leaden nebula]

I’ll take it

[kindred wigeon]

? i dont follow>

[leaden nebula]

Happy hurax

[kindred wigeon]

?

[foggy sleet]

5km tracked just for him to troll

[red thistle]

Does anyone have a really good Eurasian Widgeon Spot? Any map works I have them all. 🙃

[narrow mantle]

Well I never tries anywhere else but on the new scotland map on a 5 sector scale i would say 2 L 5

[sonic flame]

should i taxidermize my red deer?

hes only a silver but hes huge

14 pointer

[junior marsh]

Good rule to live by - if you like it, tax it

[sonic flame]

k thanks

hes a level 7

[junior marsh]

Some of those 7 and 8 racks are really cool

[sand matrix]

Anyone know how many moose zones on layton lakes for respawns??

[vagrant compass]

Yall what map should I grind whitetail on?

[cobalt spear]

Vurhonga, lakes

[civic parrot]

Just got jumped my a pack of wolves 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Gotta love it

[urban nacelle]

I just bought the last 5 maps I didn’t own. Now I have them all along with 4 other small packs. Christmas gift card from my mom well spent

[civic parrot]

I’ve spent like $60 on this game the last 2 days

I’ve bought so many addons

[elder wharf]

Can someone explain what im doing wrong on my red deer g1 grind?

[tame ginkgo]

If I create a multiplayer all the drink,feeding zones that other player discovers does it stay on my map

[fast granite]

If you create the game yes

[wary arrow]

When yall grind do you ever think to yourself “master got me workin, someday master set me freeee” or am I a special type of tism?

[tame ginkgo]

Thanks

[fast granite]

Do they have a time frame on how long you gotta talk before unlocking stuff?

[peak cosmos]

i think image permissions are like 50 messages to unlock

cant be spam though

[wary arrow]

Honestly 50 messages isn’t bad

[peak cosmos]

no its not

[vocal violet]

How long it take to get diamond ?

I still ain't got it

[peak cosmos]

uuhh

[vocal violet]

And I'm decently active id say

[peak cosmos]

[azure crag]

https://tenor.com/view/master-finish-finished-working-over-gif-27234987

[wary arrow]

TY

that’s my brain

[peak cosmos]

my brain goes to "im tired of this grandpa" pretty often

[wary arrow]

ME TOOO

[azure crag]

That's too damn bad

[wary arrow]

Now keep huntin

[azure crag]

https://tenor.com/view/too-bad-too-damn-bad-old-man-look-back-gif-17690539

[wary arrow]

Man I’m so desperate to discover more of my map and not hunt alone I opened up a multiplayer server. They’re just using me for my tripods 😔

[azure crag]

Hosting a random MP server is basically just prostitution, but you don't get paid and you're guaranteed to catch something.

[foggy sleet]

Real id never host one

[peak cosmos]

i used to a lot tbh

[foggy sleet]

I’ll join the occasional multiplayer map tho cuz it’s fun sometimes

I’ll do it for maps I don’t have

[peak cosmos]

now im a john 😭

[foggy sleet]

Like aisky ridge I don’t have yet but I don’t wanna buy it

[wary arrow]

They think they’ve found an albino kitty. I will cry if it is bc I’ve been hunting mtn lions

[foggy sleet]

Kick them out

[azure crag]

Once in a blue moon I'll get a diamond or G1 large game animal idc about, like a Moose, and when I do I'll open up my map for 20-30min to let some kids fight over it. The moment it's harvested, fun's over. Get out of my map. 😂

[foggy sleet]

Find that albino yourself it’s your map

A g1 in multiplayer sounds insane

I only ever got a diamond big horn

[peak cosmos]

i wouldn't dare shoot a g1 in mp

[wary arrow]

I mean I’d feel bad.

[cobalt spear]

Shout out to those new players that open up their completely fresh map to multiplayer for me to reap their entire duck population

[foggy sleet]

I mean finders keepers

[peak cosmos]

FOR REALLL

[wary arrow]

LOL

[foggy sleet]

They opened the map if there’s a great one there’s a great one

[peak cosmos]

joining a map and the host is lv 8, SCORE

[narrow mantle]

Frfr, thank yall

[raw root]

Does stuff respawn?

[wary arrow]

Gulp im lvl 9

[cobalt spear]

And then you immediately get host🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[peak cosmos]

im gonna getcha

[cobalt spear]

Pure bliss

[peak cosmos]

your geese are mine

[raw root]

Does their stuff respawn? Also can you kill other hunters

[peak cosmos]

if they're not in the lobby anymore, yeah

and no you cant shoot other people

[wary arrow]

Jokes on you I’m in srp

[raw root]

Good. I can allow my buddy to play with me then. I just know hed shoot me if able

[narrow mantle]

Are u sure bout that

[peak cosmos]

yeah

[azure crag]

https://tenor.com/view/turkey-twerkey-twerking-turkey-dance-gif-2093351125130571442

[foggy sleet]

Srp the best map cuz they only have one bird

And it’s the best bird

TURKEYS 🦅🦅🦅🦅

[wary arrow]

I actually love hunting turkey. I think they’re model is awesome

[peak cosmos]

couldn't be more wrong

[foggy sleet]

Turkeys are my favorite bird to hunt

[peak cosmos]

turkeys are sick tho

[foggy sleet]

I have a diamond and a mela

Love them both

[peak cosmos]

i like the model of eastern wild turkeys much better than merriams though

but all 3 of my diamond turkey are merriam

[foggy sleet]

What’s the best map in your opinion

[peak cosmos]

askiy ridge

[foggy sleet]

I don’t have enough time on it to judge

I think most of the maps are pretty good

[peak cosmos]

its like srp if it was good

[foggy sleet]

Except parque fernando

What’s wrong with srp?

[vagrant compass]

I’m over here being a Sundarpatan lover

[peak cosmos]

nothing really it's just not my thing. it has no sauce

[foggy sleet]

Sundrapatan is cool I just hate tigers

[peak cosmos]

i only hunt the northern part of sundar for that reason lmfao

im more into the foxes anyway

tibetans are the best fox

[foggy sleet]

They’re not fun imo I do not care for jump scares

I love blue sheep tho

[vagrant compass]

The wild yak grind 10/10

[peak cosmos]

i love tahr too but they are really difficult for me to find for some reason

[foggy sleet]

The animals are basic yea

[foggy sleet]

I wish they had a drink zone but whenever I find them it’s fun

[vagrant compass]

I need to set it back up on my new restart save

[peak cosmos]

i actually like the animal selection other than the lack of birds but

[foggy sleet]

The lack of birds is my fav part

[peak cosmos]

yes i know 😭

[foggy sleet]

The worst part about Yukon is those damn geese

[remote turret]

Just turned 18 guys what do i do

[wary arrow]

I refuse to hunt in other maps until I master an easy map

[peak cosmos]

idk i have a hard time explaining why i don't like srp, it feels a bit "plastic"

[foggy sleet]

Happy birthday!

[azure crag]

If Salzwiesen Park had Turkeys and Mink I'd never leave that map. It's so good, I love small game and they packed that tiny map full of 'em.

[wary arrow]

Cry, contemplate, get a job, cry, and go to college

[remote turret]

thank you

[vagrant compass]

Forever a sucker for wild yak, they are gorgeous

[foggy sleet]

Never played that one

[remote turret]

sounds like the life

[foggy sleet]

Idt I ever will

[narrow mantle]

Where can i send Media?

[foggy sleet]

But surprisingly I like Scotland more than I thought I would

I just wish I could find more bangers

Badgers*

[peak cosmos]

you need to unlock permissions by chatting

[foggy sleet]

Rares tho i think Scotland has so many

[peak cosmos]

again i think its only like 50 messages

[foggy sleet]

Like I got an albino Male sika deer and a female in the same zone

[vagrant compass]

Currently working on getting disturbed veg unlocked again before I allow myself to go on any maps apart from emerald and salzwiesen

[foggy sleet]

I think I’ve gotten like 6 rares from Scotland thus far

[azure crag]

It's 4km², half the size of any other map. And nothing but class 1 and 2 game. Densely packed with geese, ducks, fox, pheasant, grouse, raccoons and raccoon dogs.

[foggy sleet]

No diamonds tho yet

Unless I’m forgetting one

[foggy sleet]

Oh

[wary arrow]

Man I wanna play Scotland. I wanna hunt foxes

[foggy sleet]

Not my kinda map I fear

Sounds fun tho if you’re into smaller game

[foggy sleet]

It’s a nice map but foxes are on so many maps

[peak cosmos]

Got my diamond greylag on salz after looking for MONTHS on sundar

[vagrant compass]

All my diamond and rare geese are off salzwiesen, I think I have 7 diamonds like 10 rare geese now because I hunt them that often. 😭

[azure crag]

I wish there were better coyote hunting maps. They always seem to be located in annoying areas to hunt, and they're just not quite interesting enough to distract me from foxes.

[foggy sleet]

The one thing I like about geese is that I don’t need to shoot them off the ground

[azure crag]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-anime-meme-anime-react-anime-reaction-arakawa-gif-8258439823509290590

[vagrant compass]

( I have so many leu geese that at this point I might stop taxing them )

[foggy sleet]

I also need to get back to my moose grind

Haven’t grinded that in ages

[wary arrow]

I’m lvl 9 and this person over here talking about a way to give him tripods like bro I’m poor 😭

Multiplayer servers, human rights abuses 😔

[foggy sleet]

Mute them twin

[nimble sequoia]

ayo saul you ever listen to nickelback

[wary arrow]

Hmm ideas

[peak cosmos]

No

I have no positive or negative opinion of nickelback

[keen crane]

Yo

[vagrant compass]

I’m bored so I’m gonna make myself even more bored by unlocking my maps

[nimble sequoia]

their music is cool, listen to Burn it to the Ground

[wary arrow]

REAL

[peak cosmos]

its aight, that being said i would probably lose my mind if i heard this at a sporting event of any kind

[nimble sequoia]

it was the 2011-2012 intro for WWE Monday Night Raw if that counts lol

[peak cosmos]

yeah that absolutely counts

[nimble sequoia]

tbf its MNR

it fits for MNR

like its the MNR vibe

idk if it'd fit well for say baseball of basketball but then again fans can get pretty rowdy

[peak cosmos]

shoulda never changed it

[nimble sequoia]

itd fit for american football cause those boys try to kill each other

[peak cosmos]

yeah or rugby

rugby they DO kill each other

[nimble sequoia]

i mean same for football, spear tackles were made illegal bc a college ball player broke his neck and died doing one 6 years ago

NFL subsequently banned them and it trickled down all the way to HS within a year

[peak cosmos]

Probably a good call

[nimble sequoia]

im also amazed at how having more protective equipment than rugby made football more violent than rugby

which is prolly why the NFL has a big CTE problem

[peak cosmos]

Iirc theres a similar phenomenon with boxing with how barehanded fights are less dangerous than gloved ones because in barehanded they dont aim for the head as much

[thin tulip]

i need a milky way or petal muley bro

[nimble sequoia]

yeah, and also because boxers tend to make the poor assumption that the glove makes the hit not as severe and drop more power into it

when the stiffness of the design actually makes certain striked deliver more force

[lyric dune]

Hello

Pine martens are hard to shoot lol

But fun

[peak cosmos]

Thats why i use a shotgun

Not even gonna bother with .22lr

[lyric dune]

Lol

Its harder

They spook to easily

[peak cosmos]

I guess im better at sneaking than aiming then

[lyric dune]

I snipe with 22lr from 150m

Not me

But im impatient

Lol

Which shotgun do you use

[peak cosmos]

Damn it zach that nickelback song is in my head now 😭

[lyric dune]

Which one

[peak cosmos]

It depends, usually the gopi or cuoso

[junior marsh]

Wait I'm missing a nickelback convo again

[peak cosmos]

He made me listen to burn it to the ground

[junior marsh]

As someone who is not caught up with the convo this was... confusing lmfao 🤣

[nimble sequoia]

Sports!!! and also Nickelback

[lyric dune]

What about the 10SA executive

[peak cosmos]

I havent used it in a long time actually

Oh i also really like the one that comes with scotland. The benelhag 12g

[lyric dune]

I bought the dlc the other day when I bought scotland

[peak cosmos]

That ones really nice

[lyric dune]

I was using it

I swapped for the executive

[peak cosmos]

Damn i kind of love not using a rifle for anything

[lyric dune]

Same

[peak cosmos]

Even though i just messed up a mountain goat with a slug

[azure crag]

What range are you hunting at with the shotty slugs?

[lyric dune]

Im using a glock

[peak cosmos]

It was from 100m

I aimed too high and hit spine

[lyric dune]

Pine marten

Imma get it

[peak cosmos]

Aiming with the SxS is very pleasant though, whoever i was talking to the other day was right

[azure crag]

Have you tried the crossbow? Can take class 1-9 and, with the 420g bolts (2-7) in particular, you can pretty comfortably hunt as far out as 150m.

It's been my primary for anything not class 2-4 for the last couple days

[peak cosmos]

iiii have, i had a few.. negative experiences with it 😭

That was a long time ago though

Scotland actually had me wanting to give it a second chance

If i can figure out the recurve i cant imagine the crossbow being too hard

[azure crag]

I tweaked mine a bit by changing the scope sight to Mil-Dot, made shooting beyond 100m way easier.

[peak cosmos]

You and your mil-dots

[azure crag]

Look they're functional and they seem to work for almost every weapon that can take a scope 😆

[peak cosmos]

My negative experiences were mostly cause i was hunting from a treestand, something about the crossbow just does not like shooting from elevation

Could not figure out how to account for it right, ended up just dropping it and opting for bows

[keen crane]

Anyone wanna play

[azure crag]

Oh yeah windage and elevation have a huge effect on arrows and bolts alike. If you're more elevated than your target you're going to shoot high.

[peak cosmos]

Yupp

Spined a mela red stag and after that i was done LMAO

[azure crag]

I think the bolts are more affected than anything, both by wind and elevation, but have greater range as a tradeoff. I can manage 100m shots with a bow but 175m? Not on purpose lol

[narrow mantle]

Damn, ive been grinding them Boars now for 9 hours

Does someone have grass to touch

[slate sluice]

yeah bows in general can get weird at elevation

[azure crag]

[peak cosmos]

What is it about mountain goats that always make me think im looking at something YUGE and then its a level 2 female

[narrow mantle]

Thank you my unreliable air canon

[azure crag]

unreliable?!

[peak cosmos]

They should add a blowgun for this guy

[azure crag]

https://tenor.com/view/grinch-audacity-gif-7405621

[lyric dune]

I think im good at aiming

Im sniping martens

[narrow mantle]

I remember something about hunting hogs with that thing now

[lyric dune]

Shotgun for birds and rabbits

[narrow mantle]

It isnt possible anymore right?

[peak cosmos]

I used to be a lot better at aiming and then as i started using rifles less and less i fell off

Now im kinda ass at it

Sneaky as a mf though

[lyric dune]

Lol

[azure crag]

Oooooh wanna see who can get the longest clean shot on one, with a .22lr?

[peak cosmos]

Its definitely you

Also on class 1, all shots are clean. Lol

[azure crag]

I mean clean as in actually hitting it and not those weird "the bullet flew close to it so it counts" shots that you see on occasion lol. Like the zip of the bullet gave the critter a heart attack 😆

[lyric dune]

Im about to show yall something insane

Nvm

I can't post i

A pine marten from 268m

[azure crag]

So that's the record to beat?

[lyric dune]

Its my record for these varmin

Lol

[peak cosmos]

I had a funny one where i shot a mink right in the tip of the tail but i cant find the screenshot

[wary arrow]

I love the pine marten model, it’s so cute.

[lyric dune]

Imma post it in trophies

[peak cosmos]

The mink makes me feel a lil bad for shooting it 😭

[azure crag]

Alright, time to take a break from sniping geese and start sniping Martens.

[nimble sequoia]

scared the poor bastard to death

[junior marsh]

I find glee in destruction

It's a good thing I'm a gamer 😂

[peak cosmos]

We’re all lucky

[sonic flame]

are piebalds rare?

[nimble sequoia]

POV: The 8th Air Force

[sonic flame]

i just got one on afallow deer

[wary arrow]

Honestly having trophies of pixels is better than a irl collection of trophies that most people don’t eat

[azure crag]

Martens do a backflip if you hit them when they're standing 😆

Just nailed one. About to see the distance, I think 300

[wary arrow]

Very!

[peak cosmos]

Rabbits do the backflip alll the time

[sonic flame]

like really rare?

[wary arrow]

Yuh

[peak cosmos]

Except mallards and harlequin ducks

[nimble sequoia]

not quite albino/mela level but rare for sure

[sonic flame]

k thanks

[nimble sequoia]

which angers me because pies are rare for both birds irl

[sonic flame]

il taxi it then

put him in my lodge

[lapis locust]

Trophies irl just collect dust and take space, I find them to be more an annoyance then a reward🤣

[nimble sequoia]

bleached skulls are cool tho

and take up less space

....

unless its a moose or elk

thats-

thats still a lot of space

[wary arrow]

I collect bones and stuff. I found two whole crab shells on the beach

[azure crag]

I see your 268m and raise you 295m. Your turn!

[junior marsh]

The out of context terror

[nimble sequoia]

i aint wrong tho

[nimble sequoia]

aura

[peak cosmos]

I love my taxidermy but they do take up a ton of space

Got this guy as well

[nimble sequoia]

thats your bobcat pelt?

thats sick

[peak cosmos]

Yes! I didn’t kill it though. They all belonged to a family friend who wanted me to have them when he had to move into a care facility

I also have two pronghorn from him, but they arent hung up

Ironically because i dont have the space

Lmfao

[nimble sequoia]

thats neat; killer pelt quality too with that spotting on the haunches

[peak cosmos]

Yeah hes my favorite i love him to bits

[nimble sequoia]

that was probably a 150$ pelt raw actually

[peak cosmos]

Super soft

[lyric dune]

Ill try on my level 5 I guess

[ornate cobalt]

Lmao

[lyric dune]

Ill try 350m

[nimble sequoia]

theyre still bought as garment grade leather for a reason lol

[peak cosmos]

Somewhere i still have the photo of when he shot it

[nimble sequoia]

nice

[lyric dune]

Ok

[peak cosmos]

Yeah i always expected them to be a bit bristly but from touch alone theyre literally indistinguishable from a housecat

I have two, they feel the same

[nimble sequoia]

im imagining you wielding one of your pets like an ancient power stone

and comparing it to the bobcat pelt

[peak cosmos]

Just like real life 😭😔

[ornate cobalt]

He went to get the milk🥀

[civic parrot]

If I put my guns on display in my lodge can I still use them while hunting

[peak cosmos]

damn she walked right up on me while i was making a c tier joke

[ornate cobalt]

Yes

[civic parrot]

Okay appreciate it

[ornate cobalt]

Np 😁

[ornate cobalt]

Bro what?

You might want to teach your dog the difference between friend and pray

[lyric dune]

I got distracted

Wtf is going on lol

[peak cosmos]

hes a retriever he dont know squat 😭

[ornate cobalt]

Fairpoint

My one do be dumb as hell too

[ornate cobalt]

A smoothie

[lyric dune]

Lol

[ornate cobalt]

Me when moose

[peak cosmos]

if anythings gonna parry it IS a moose

[ornate cobalt]

Not when I shoot them Pointblank in the head with a 454

[teal bobcat]

Nah the bison parry bullets

[ornate cobalt]

Lmao

[hasty rose]

Can someone give me a g1 or super rare bc I’m new to the game and have nothing

[azure crag]

Okay this is more fun than shooting ducks at 400m with the .22h

[teal bobcat]

Moose just tank through them the bison drop their heads right as you try to shoot them

[civic parrot]

How is everyone sharing pictures?

[lyric dune]

How

[azure crag]

#nobeg

[ornate cobalt]

Bloody hell a good stuff

[ornate cobalt]

Fr

[hasty rose]

Not begging just asking 1 time

[azure crag]

My secret weapon for extreme range shooting.

Mil-Dots.

[lyric dune]

If I can spot one from far away I will try to shoot it

[teal bobcat]

Too real

Im a sucker for broadsides even if its right at the edge of the render distance

Another diamond croc but im too poor for taxi right now im going to lose my mind

[azure crag]

I have, for the last year or so, primarily gone for long range shots on small game over doing basically anything else. I've mostly used the air rifle and .22h to do this, so the .22lr is a fun learning curve. It's projectiles are weaker than the hornets so shots beyond 300m are trickier.

[peak cosmos]

ii am gonna sit here and shoot snow geese until i run out of rounds

230 shells

[lyric dune]

500 shells here

[teal bobcat]

Honestly small game long shots are probably the best way to improve your aim in this game

[sacred bough]

[teal bobcat]

I used to have 500 .22 shells until i decided i needed more diamond mallards

[kindred wigeon]

ayo guys

[azure crag]

I've recently taken to sniping geese mid flight too 😆 so long, shotgun.

[kindred wigeon]

i have a few dlc maps like emerald coast australia and the base ones but i dont know what other one i should get i can afford 1 more map

. What one is the best for smal medium and big game

[teal bobcat]

What do you want in a map

[peak cosmos]

what do you like shooting?

[kindred wigeon]

idk like medium small sized animals but i do like to get some big game every now and then

[azure crag]

Small game is Salzwiesen Park, hands down. It's a compact map, half the size of other maps, and the only species it has are class 1 and 2. Densely packed and with a great layout.

For a good mix of game, Scotland has a great design overall, as well as game ranging from class 1-6. It's one of the most beautiful maps and it's wide open, allowing for incredible sightseeing and sniping opportunities.

For large game... ask someone else. 😆

[peak cosmos]

you might like scotland a lot tbh

torr nan sithean

or new england mountains

both have plenty of both those things

[kindred wigeon]

righto

[civic parrot]

Holy crap I’ve been on this game for 5 hours straight 😭😭

[kindred wigeon]

i like shooting lots of moose and deer aswell

[cobalt spear]

askiy is best for you then

Has all 5 north american deer species

[peak cosmos]

new england's got moose, bobcat, coyote, two types of fox, and plenty of birds

[kindred wigeon]

what is askiy

[peak cosmos]

askiy ridge, alberta canada map

[cobalt spear]

the one called askiy ridge

[kindred wigeon]

oh ok

[peak cosmos]

best map of all time

NEM is second best of all time

[lyric dune]

I feel sorry for this goat I shot

[sacred bough]

idk man

[peak cosmos]

i do

[sacred bough]

I don't think you do

[lyric dune]

I shot him in the nuts with a 10mm from 98m

[peak cosmos]

its okay you can trust me on this one ❤️

[kindred wigeon]

what about ECA

australia is the best country in the world

[peak cosmos]

these 3 have been circling my head doing nothing for like 30 minutes real time

emerald coast pretty damn good

[kindred wigeon]

thank you

[peak cosmos]

used to be my favorite

[kindred wigeon]

i am aussie so i can def relate to it

[supple sparrow]

wolf grinding on askiy so many zones..

[kindred wigeon]

i am going to get Medved-Taiga because it looks good and there are so many wolves to grind

[zenith cove]

Yukon valley?

[peak cosmos]

askiy lol

[zenith cove]

There's so many birds flying over your head in yukon it gets annoying when they get alerted every 3 minutes

[peak cosmos]

they're still there 😭😭

I am actually hunting geese rn, i think they're attracted to my decoys but somehow bugged so they cant come down and land

[kindred wigeon]

wait what is better askiy ridge or Medved-Taiga

[peak cosmos]

askiy ridge in my opinion

both have reindeer/caribou, moose, and wolves

so unless you really like boar for some reason i would go askiy

[kindred wigeon]

does askiy have bobcsat?

[peak cosmos]

no

[kindred wigeon]

i think ill get askiy just because it has like 2x more species of animals

that means more kills

https://youtube.com/shorts/T5dMR_70pl4?si=gz3fNtn5jXNZEXYa

[peak cosmos]

proud

[kindred wigeon]

lol thanks

And this vid so true in cotw

[peak cosmos]

i think i underestimated how much 230 shells was

[teal bobcat]

Definitely lasts a while

[peak cosmos]

especially with two shot capacity

[kindred wigeon]

d oyou guys like using the Vasquez Cyclone .45 Big Bore i havent used it yet but i am going to get it. Any reviews just reply to my message

[wide meadow]

You know I just found out something. My German Shorthaired Pointer can look and point out mountain lions. And I'm like wait a minute I thought they can't sniff out and point out predators the heck?

[kindred wigeon]

nice thats sick

[nimble sequoia]

@azure crag

this dude can help you trust

[kindred wigeon]

can he...

[nimble sequoia]

and as my own personal review it's a very fun little gun for close and medium range small game hunting

[kindred wigeon]

ok nice

[nimble sequoia]

reduced spook radius too

[kindred wigeon]

i like using the .223 for deer aswell is that a good gun?

[nimble sequoia]

its okay; not great on deer tho, you want something like .308, .30-06, 7mm magnum, .303

[kindred wigeon]

or should i use a .30-06

i have that

[nimble sequoia]

use that

[kindred wigeon]

is that good for moose and brown bear aswell

[zenith cove]

Get the malmer 7mm

Best thing ever

[kindred wigeon]

is it good/

[zenith cove]

Yeah it can kill class 4-9

[kindred wigeon]

ok but i dont have enough money for the dlc

will the .30-06 do the job?

[peak cosmos]

not for moose

[kindred wigeon]

will the airgun kill moose?

[peak cosmos]

if you cant afford dlc, 7mm will cover you

lol no. airgun will barely kill deer

[kindred wigeon]

wait if i cant afford dlc then i cant get 7mm

its not a basic gun

its a dlc

and i cant afford the dlc

[peak cosmos]

there is a base game 7mm

https://thehuntercotw.fandom.com/wiki/7mm_Regent_Magnum

[kindred wigeon]

oh ok

will that do the job

[peak cosmos]

good for class 4-9, it's single shot but it's a great gun

[kindred wigeon]

ok

so my loadout will be a .45 airgun

a .30-06

[peak cosmos]

will kill almost all deer except the tiny ones, moose, bears, and bison

[kindred wigeon]

a 7mm regent magnum

and maybe a shotgun or crossbow

is that agood loadout

[peak cosmos]

👍

[kindred wigeon]

\

[peak cosmos]

yeah if you can fit it in your inventory

[kindred wigeon]

for askiy ridge

[peak cosmos]

yeah, if youre taking the air rifle i would personally leave out 30-06 because the air rifle already covers 2-4 and the 7mm will cover 4-9

so getting rid of it will leave you extra room for a bow or shotgun if you want to bring one

[kindred wigeon]

oke

[peak cosmos]

or a tent, or some callers, or whatever

[kindred wigeon]

what is a bow or shotgun usfeful for if i have a airgun

?\

[peak cosmos]

shotgun covers class 1 with birdshot, a bow can cover all classes

technically a shotgun can cover all classes too but buckshot is dogwater so dont bother with that

[kindred wigeon]

wait so am i doing something wrong when i am shooting mythical 8 teir roos with a .223

[modern cedar]

No

They're class 4

[peak cosmos]

class and level are different

[modern cedar]

Class and difficulty are different

[peak cosmos]

kangaroo are class 4 animals, but can go up to level 9 which is diamond for that species

[kindred wigeon]

wait so what is the difference and how do i tell and what do i use for each class/diff

[peak cosmos]

spotting an animal will tell you what class it is

[modern cedar]

Class is basically the size of the animal. It doesn't change. Level/difficulty is how big it is when it comes to trophy rating

[kindred wigeon]

so class is like the very easy or easy or mythical

[modern cedar]

No class is 1-9

Difficulty is trivial to legendary

[kindred wigeon]

oh ok

[teal bobcat]

Class is the set difficulty of the species based on the size of the actual species and difficulty is based on the actual size of the individual

[peak cosmos]

for example this snow goose is class 1 and level 2

[kindred wigeon]

so is class like the little number in the top right when you spot an animal

[teal bobcat]

I was a little late to that

[plain coral]

does anyone know how to spawn more diamonds?

[kindred wigeon]

ok gotcha

[modern cedar]

Yess exactly

[peak cosmos]

class only tells you what ammo to shoot them with

[kindred wigeon]

wait will an airgun not kill a class 1 animal

but it can kill 2-4

[peak cosmos]

you cant use anything too big or too small or you'll mess up the medal

[teal bobcat]

As far as im aware the best way to get more high level stuff is herd management

[peak cosmos]

it will definitely kill a class 1, but it will ruin it because the bullet's too big

so you wont get the full score

thats how you mess up diamonds and stuff

[kindred wigeon]

ohhhhh gotcha thats why when i shoot a huge bear i dont get much money coz i killed it with a .223

will airgun kill a class 4

or not

does it only kill 2 and 3

and then the 7mm kill 4+

[peak cosmos]

2-4

for airgun

[kindred wigeon]

so it can kill class 4

[peak cosmos]

and yes thats correct on the 7mm

yes

[teal bobcat]

When are they gonna add an airgun for 7-9

[kindred wigeon]

but should i kill a class 4 with a 7mm or airgun

[peak cosmos]

will, it'll do you good to spend a little bit of time researching about the reserve you hunt on, like what animals make diamond at which level

different animals make diamond scores at different levels, either 3, 5, or 9

[peak cosmos]

it'll be easier with 7mm

[kindred wigeon]

righto mate

[teal bobcat]

Technically its more important to check the trophy rating than the difficulty 🤓☝️

[solid badge]

I've heard benteng make diamond at 4 fairly often

[modern cedar]

They do

[peak cosmos]

yes you would be correct however you dont unlock that perk for quite some time and trophy ratings can be difficult to memorize for any player yet alone a newcomer 🤓 👆

[teal bobcat]

Yeah and ive had a couple 2 whitetail hit diamonds

[teal bobcat]

That is a good point i forgot its a perk😔

[peak cosmos]

i did the wrong hand emoji im really gonna do it this time

[teal bobcat]

Too real

I really need to remember to drop tents at the bottom of lookouts so i can teleport to the bottom instead of walking back down

[solid badge]

Icl the trophy estimate be making me crash out sometimes

[peak cosmos]

i feel like itd take longer to load the fast travel than to just walk down some stairs

[teal bobcat]

Maybe but in my heart it would be faster

[solid badge]

Wdym the boar that could go up to 148 is only like 103 that's cringe

Game hates me

[teal bobcat]

My max weight estimate golds

[solid badge]

The game just refuses to give me a boar over 3 istg, I've had maybe 5 so far at 4

And the 4 boars I had were like max 120 or something 💔

[teal bobcat]

I feel that with my fallow deer

[peak cosmos]

me with black bear

genuinely im not even kidding ive only seen a black bear over level 6 once in my entire life

ive been playing for 3 goddamn years

[teal bobcat]

Red deer lately have been terrible for me lately

[peak cosmos]

zero max weight tracks

[solid badge]

I've gotten one trophy so far and it wasn't even for the animal I'm grinding 😭🙏

[teal bobcat]

Real

Ive gotten 2 diamond ducks on my fallow grind

And zero diamond fallows

[peak cosmos]

when i find my diamond black bear i will cry tears of joy

[azure crag]

Ooh, nice.

[peak cosmos]

fire

[teal bobcat]

Gotta love a good capercallie

[azure crag]

Unexpected too. Had it not yelled at me for waking it, I'd have never noticed it lol

[teal bobcat]

I only ever get em after they yell lol

Im too blind to ever see them first

[peak cosmos]

goofy as hell

[urban nacelle]

I thought that was a seagull at first and I was like “that’s not a thing right?”

[granite timber]

Same species

[solid badge]

Nuh uh, clearly that is a dog smhhh

[peak cosmos]

dot dot dot

[west island]

Guys is reventuli coast a good map?

[peak cosmos]

yes

[west island]

should i buy it?

[peak cosmos]

you like birds?

[azure crag]

Score.

[peak cosmos]

AYYYEEE MY FAVORITE

[lapis locust]

Some nice wide open spaces with a lot of lakes, lot of birds, lot of spawns. I find silver ridge better reventuli generally speaking but it seems nice from my limited experience on it.

[azure crag]

They're so small and stupid. I love them.

[lapis locust]

Can always hit up a multi player lobby on it and try before you buy.

[peak cosmos]

the remodel is so nice, i was psyched to find mine

I bowed him, of course

[unborn wedge]

hi i am new to this game does any1 may have time to help me learn it dm me

[hollow lake]

Is there like an schedule for map releases, like when do they happen etc

[stray thicket]

Revontuli is a good map for bird such as, grouse, geese, and ducks. with some other stuff like moose, brown bears, whitetail, Lynx, and raccoon dogs.

[stray thicket]

like when a specific map releases?

[hollow lake]

Nah like just whrn maps will release

Like the next map wil be released around …..

That

[stray thicket]

I don't know

[hollow lake]

Alr alr

Cus i know we always get a map around december but the other times idk

[stray thicket]

usually schedules release after trailers

like specific dates

[hollow lake]

Alrr thxx

Ye im tryna find the like

Around what time yk

Like what month

[stray thicket]

I think maps usually release in like summer and winter

December maybe because Christmas

[hollow lake]

Okay thxx!

[stray thicket]

ur welcome I'm not that knowledgeable but I am the one who gets like the least sleep so I try to help as best as I can.. falls asleep

[trim lantern]

what is this?

i cant find this specific point (?)

[modern cedar]

We usually get maps in June and December

[subtle blade]

what gun is best for crocodails

[modern cedar]

Any 7-9 rifle works, I also like using the sundberg pistol on them

[subtle blade]

can you get a dimond if you have a 7-9 rifle

[lapis locust]

hell also had no problems hunting crocs quickly with bows, they don't really spook easily and they are not very mobile while not spooked.

[high bronze]

Can anyone help me get good moose or mountain reindeer in medved?

[dark barn]

the gun doesnt magically change an animals trophy rating apart from the fact you wont ruin the shot

[high bronze]

Muffen

[subtle blade]

that what i mean that will it ruin the shot

[high bronze]

Muff

[subtle blade]

yes

[high bronze]

Can u help me in medved?

[sly trail]

as long as you dont hit the head, hit a vital organ and use proper ammunition, yeah

[subtle blade]

okey

[sly trail]

also max of 2 shots, 3rd shot ruins integrity

[night lily]

have to go to right and up to that > shape, can find a valley if you get near the edge that sort of has a path or way down

[granite timber]

I forgot what number I went to sleep at

[stone rover]

it’s me

[thick crest]

I have a glitch on a red deer zone where a deer I’ve already harvested comes back still dead and unhravested, then will respawn after the 2nd harvest, any one else experienced this!?

[undone stone]

This picture is in the free lodge😂

[thick crest]

Lmao

[granite timber]

Nope

Glitched zone if I’d have to assume

[dark barn]

its in several maps

[undone stone]

i found it in the free lodge where you can put your taxedermst animals on the top floor with all the pictures

[worldly scroll]

how do i unlock the vc channels?

[undone stone]

i just clikt on on of the vc channels or you need to verify

oh okay i see

[wanton quail]

Ya, it (mostly) filters out the people who lose their accts to spam-discord nsfw links. But given that we need to define/update parameters when things change, there is sometimes a little overlap/slip through
But it's really reduced the number of things like that overall

[regal canyon]

animals don't render at distances >450m and they don't spawn in at distances >400m.

[sturdy jacinth]

what is the best rifle

[daring mountain]

finally got sight spotting, lawd ha' mercy

what in the

[daring mountain]

not sure there's one "best rifle", it depends on what you're looking to shoot...

[solid badge]

Depends on your hunt

[sturdy jacinth]

I'm looking to switch rifle

[daring mountain]

from what, the beginning rifle? .243

[sturdy jacinth]

im looking to buy a bundle

[thick crest]

I would recommend buying the modern rifles pack

Has everything you need

[junior marsh]

Every rifle can only be ethically used on certain species (which let's you pass the harvest check and get trophies). So we kinda need more specifics than "best"

[thick crest]

.300 for large game, .308 for mid .223 for smaller game .22 for smallest

[daring mountain]

if you wanna just blow everything out of the water from the beginning, yeah, modern rifle pack is good

[wanton quail]

Whatever pack the M1 is in has my vote

that ping on empty is worth it

all of the time, 100% of the time.

[thick crest]

Modern rifle is most beginner friendly and diverse imo tho

Which rifle is a loaded question though, tons of amazing rifles it’s all up to preference

[sturdy jacinth]

I'm trying get my moos to be a great one but I don't have the right rifle

[solid slate]

Smoking Barrels

[daring mountain]

i have all the dlc but im just starting out, so i turned off most those weapon packs cuz i want to have the "authentic experience" of building myself up, saving money, buying upgrades, etc

[junior marsh]

You'll want a pack that has the 300 or the 375 (preferred)

[sturdy jacinth]

are the feeders good

[thick crest]

Honestly for moose grind the .300 in the modern rifles pack is 100% going to be the best, it’s semi auto so u can pick off more than 1 at a time

I wouldn’t recommend feeders for a grind

You’ll almost always be shooting off of drink zones

[junior marsh]

Feeders are cool. Depends on what map you're on

[solid slate]

Eh, it heavily depends on species and even map. They’re not good for grinding for the most part. Good to have for fun though.

[daring mountain]

do you need a certain rifle to get a great one to spawn? or you need a certain rifle to kill it...?

[junior marsh]

They are great for grinds. Especially if the drink zones aren't the best

[wanton quail]

Thank you.
I got it on release and my Swiss cheese brain cant remember all the diff dlc names these days

[junior marsh]

To ethically kill it and not botch it into a gold lol

[daring mountain]

ah well yeah, there is that

[wanton quail]

Arguably makes pig and bear easier

[thick crest]

You may be right but I just haven’t seen it myself, not a horrible idea

[daring mountain]

are great ones higher "category" than normal? i.e. you need more power to kill it ethically?

[junior marsh]

I'm using them for my g1 boar grind on Scotland currently. Tis wonderful

[solid slate]

Pigs for sure, never even thought about using it on Bears since they drink during the day nowadays, but I’d imagine that would work well.

[daring mountain]

i mean, moose are what, 7 or 8, doesn't take anything too fancy...

[sturdy jacinth]

layton lake

[junior marsh]

No, they are the same class as their normal counterparts

[wanton quail]

Nah they are the same class as the originating species.
Just a "special" model and a "special diamond" ranking effectively

[junior marsh]

But the base game doesn't have the greatest big game options for rifles

[wanton quail]

Yeah, if bears were still o-dark thirty it'd be better, but you could use them to pull into better shooting lanes if their drink locations isn't good LOS

[daring mountain]

i use the stradivarius 270, not sure what dlc or pack or whatever that came in

[wanton quail]

Is 7mm base game?

[sonic flame]

itsbase game

[solid slate]

The single shot break action is

[wanton quail]

I think it covers a good chunk of classes

[junior marsh]

Yeah that's what my husband used. 375 and the 300 kick it though lol

[sturdy jacinth]

yes

[solid slate]

Stradivarius is base game, just a special skin for the .270

[wanton quail]

4-8?

[solid badge]

I wouldn't really use it on anything above 7 personally ngl

[solid badge]

4-9 the 7mm covers

[solid slate]

It does really good on Crocodiles, Grizzlies, and Bison.

[sturdy jacinth]

im trying to get away from the 30-06 that my favorite gun

[odd harness]

Love the 7mm
The single shot can be a pain sometimes but very good for teaching patience, and the 4-9 coverage is great

[wanton quail]

Oh for sure, but they also said they wanted to "build up" to the big whoppers

So if it was 7mm (thanks for being right, brain!) It could be a stepping stone i was meaning

[daring mountain]

no, i said that, the other guy just wants to kill his moose as soon as possible i think

[solid badge]

1 I use the stalker 22

2-3 use the quist

4-6 I use the 7mm

7-9 I use the 375

1 I also use the 6 round pump action if it's birds or rabbits

[wanton quail]

....im gonna go grab coffee and IV it. Clearly need more brainpower

Re: moose
Bow with 600g arrow lays them down reliably, and doesn't give much hunting pressure

My favorite way to nuke then

[solid badge]

I wanna use bows but the dropoff is so hard to get used to for me

[daring mountain]

funny you mention that, im on the layton quest where you have to kill a whitetail from 50m or less 😛

[solid badge]

I've gotta kill 2 coyotes with a bow

I suck at hitting coyotes and I suck with bows so not a great mix

[daring mountain]

i have a quest now 2 coyotes but just with gun, but yeah they are skittish

[solid badge]

They're small and fast and I am not fast

[daring mountain]

i finally found a good need zone for them in the region i need, but i missed my first shot, gotta try again tomrrow

yeah

[solid badge]

Just want the werecoyote lol

[strange parcel]

Do u have to pick up female foxes after shooting them in the GO grind

[tranquil pivot]

if you want to have a consistent respawn then yes

[strange parcel]

I tried the Emerald coast 2 lake method but I'm barely even getting any foxes

I think I'll try salzwiesen island method

[tranquil pivot]

Yes try that it works pretty good for me

And try to pick up a few foxes without a pick up tent so they have time to respawn

[strange parcel]

Is there anything specific I need to keep in mind? Consistent respawns and foxes seem like an oxymoron to me but I'm straight outta the moose grind

Do pickup tents disturb respawns near them?

Or drink zone spawns

[tranquil pivot]

no but if you go on foot you need more time which gives the fox you shot at already more time to respawn

[strange parcel]

Oh okay

I was never planning on going near the fox grind but my wife wants a pink cherry blossom fox

Has anyone gotten one of those before

Only pics I saw were from the wiki

[tranquil pivot]

The red parts are the possible Fox spawns

and the blue part is where you cant really see the foxes so every few runs you need to go check there from the nearest outpost

[scenic quail]

What "Quality of life" change would you most want in the game?

For me it would be ability to filter owned ammunition when selecting a load-out to only display ammo compatible with equipped weapons. sometimes it is pretty annoying to be looking for the specific round or arrow in the storage.

[modern cedar]

I wish the inventory and cache was more organized and that I didn't have to scroll through a thousand guns and callers to find the ones I want

[azure crag]

I'm going for diamond Mountain Hare today. Anyone know if the bucks can make diamond?

[dry jasper]

how do i go 3rd person mode when driving atv?

[azure crag]

It's down in the D-Pad on PS5, which is also the default button for dog controls. So try tapping whatever that button is on PC?

[woven ferry]

v on pc i think is default.

[dry jasper]

Thank you guys!

[modern cedar]

Only the does

[halcyon adder]

whats the best map to start on i just bought the game

[cobalt yacht]

Guys

I spotted a diamond pronghorn in silver ridge peak around 2 days ago but I can't find him

What's the best way to find him?

[mortal plank]

Look at pronghorn drink zones

[cobalt yacht]

Oh ye thank you

[modern cedar]

Yeah look through the drink zones close to where you spotted it, pronghorn don't drink everywhere in the map

[mortal plank]

Here’s a map

[cobalt yacht]

Thx 🙂

[stark heath]

Which settings do i need to change to see animals beyond 150m naked eye

[azure crag]

Huh

[lucid tendon]

not a special trophy but a clean shot on that distance while he was slowly walking

[azure crag]

Default render range is 425m (give or take a few), what are you referring to specifically?

[buoyant hare]

If anyone can help me with my support question that’ll be great

[dark barn]

maybe ur character just has insomnia

[buoyant hare]

Cheers dude

[modern cedar]

I assume you have enough cash to actually rest?

Other than that I don't really know what could be wrong

[junior marsh]

Yeah likely not enough money to rest

Go kill and harvest something then try again

[buoyant hare]

I’m dumb 😭

Last thing I checked

Gonna go cry now thanks

Thanks guys 😂

[heavy cairn]

I’m like 300 kills into my fallow deer grind with only 6 diamonds any thoughts on when I will get a great one

[junior marsh]

Whenever you get one

[modern cedar]

Haha happens to the best of us

[junior marsh]

There's no count requirement

Could be next kill could be 2k from now lol

[azure crag]

You're 1/5th of the way there, keep it up!

[cobalt yacht]

Lol thank you bro I accidently fled them but I just saw another diamond if that 2 are diamond I have 3 diamond pronghorn

[cobalt yacht]

Yessss

[cloud sierra]

wich is the best map ?

[cobalt yacht]

I got the diamond 113 but its the wrong one? I had another 5 medium but I shot that one and it didn't die so?

[solid badge]

Depends on your needs

[cloud sierra]

much money and have fun

[solid badge]

Yukon is great and so is Scotland, emerald coast is good too and has the best money farm

[cloud sierra]

nice thanks

but i have seen alot of people saying silver ridge is the best

[stark heath]

I think scene complexity or some other settings by default is low which varies view by 150m, 250m, 400m

[stark heath]

Weve to change those settings just like we change resolution

[solid badge]

Silver ridge is decent but I personally think Yukon and Scotland are better

[sturdy jacinth]

is the new map good

[cobalt spear]

Very

[narrow mantle]

The lower area gives me hirschfelden vibes but better

[merry hare]

I want crossplay in the hunter

[cobalt spear]

not happening soooo

[leaden nebula]

Eating a green pepper in the shower to see what a displaced mountain goat feels like committing agricultural theft during a violent Typhoon against his day ones

[whole dock]

in Jan 10th is going to be my birthday in Saturday

[azure crag]

Must be a PC setting
