[blissful aurora]

Emerald Coast is the peak moneymaker cos you can grind money by spiting Steve Irwin from beyond the grave, and by that I mean wiping out the croc population

the .375 rifle if you have it is best for that, crocs and banteng spawn exclusively in a rather small region of the map and they’re both pretty easy to get the jump on

each kill is like 1k assuming you can consistently get vital shots

[jaunty sparrow]

Do you want to know what I'm using ? I'm not sure if it's good or not

[cobalt spear]

Yes

[blissful aurora]

yeah sure

some guns are just better than others fsr

(SKS my goat, bullet drop like the Moradi but hits like a truck)

[jaunty sparrow]

Malmer 7mm .. ranger.243 .. 22lr shadow.. and the sundberg

[cobalt spear]

That's pretty solid tbh

[blissful aurora]

the Malmer is the goat

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm using the sundberg bc I want to unlock the good ammo for it

[cobalt spear]

I'd add the 12ga for upland birds but that's it really

[blissful aurora]

get the sidearms dlc, there’s a .243 pistol

literally a single shot version of the Ranger that can mount rifle scopes

[jaunty sparrow]

I might have it already Let me check rq

[blissful aurora]

if you do then use it

I got that dlc and the one with the Drilling, that’s how I grinded shotguns, rifles, and pistols at once

[jaunty sparrow]

243 champion. And 243 competitor?

[blissful aurora]

YEAH

USE THEM

[jaunty sparrow]

Which one

[blissful aurora]

you can throw a rifle scope on them

they’re the same, just colour variants

[pastel geode]

I got my pistol score up with the 22 pistol. Flocks of birds and turkeys, you could get 3-5 kills each flock

[jaunty sparrow]

What should I switch out

[blissful aurora]

choose whichever looks best to you

[blissful aurora]

the .243 rifle

it’s the exact same round, just on a lighter platform

[jaunty sparrow]

Alr

[blissful aurora]

sure the range is shorter but you shouldn’t be making long range shots anyways

[blissful aurora]

it’s nice but sadly I don’t do well with class 1 game, they’re just too evasive

same issues with class 2 as well, foxes and coyotes drive me up the wall

[pastel geode]

I've killed like 5,000 birds over these last couple weeks lol

[jaunty sparrow]

I don't normally hunt birds . They're way too small . I can never see them

[teal shadow]

He apparently chose death🤣

[blissful aurora]

based

[jaunty sparrow]

He was wishing for that to happen

[simple raptor]

Does anyone else’s multiplayer say matchmaking timed out or it just sends you to a different map you didn’t select

[blissful aurora]

admittedly my playstyle is a bit weird, I never really use blinds or indeed any equipment at all barring tents

[jaunty sparrow]

Neither do I tbh

[blissful aurora]

I just pick a direction I want to explore and kill everything I come across while doing so

[jaunty sparrow]

Probably because I don't know how to use them well

[blissful aurora]

blinds are ambush points you want to set up near need zones, like from a range where you can reliably hit shots

think of them like say, a sniper nest

[jaunty sparrow]

Reliably hitting shots is NOT a part of me playing this game

[blissful aurora]

literally set them exactly at the zero range of your gun

do you know how to aim for vitals at least

[jaunty sparrow]

Yh

If I get a kill it's pretty much always a lung or liver

[blissful aurora]

honestly that’s good

most of my shots are lung shots anyways lol

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm also pretty bad at the maps I have

I need to learn them more

[blissful aurora]

Layton is prolly the best best for a starter map, Hirsch and Medved are generally agreed to be pretty hard

[pastel geode]

I love Hirsch

[jaunty sparrow]

I've never really tried Layton. I never liked all the trees

[blissful aurora]

Vurhonga is the easiest map you have ngl, the issue is render distance rather than foliage mostly

[jaunty sparrow]

I remember one of my first times on verhonga I found a diamond lion. I never got it though

[blissful aurora]

oh don’t shoot it yet, just memorise where its zones are

[jaunty sparrow]

That was a while ago sadly

[blissful aurora]

alas

same boat, I have a NEM with a level 9 bobcat

I am NEVER finding that bastard

[jaunty sparrow]

I've heard atv hunting on verhonga is decent for money

[blissful aurora]

nahhh that’s bull

atvs are hardcoded to scare animals within a certain radius

[jaunty sparrow]

Someone I know just said to pull up next to a group of springbok. Jump off the atv and just use a sundberg

[blissful aurora]

HAH nope

the springbok will be long gone

that’s more of a WOTH strat since in that game, the vehicles fsr don’t scare animals unless you get decently close

[jaunty sparrow]

I lowk want to hunt birds since I know they can get good money but I just can't

[slate sluice]

unless it's an animal that is capable of going aggro from beyond the usual range (i.e. the two buffalo species and I believe tigers)

[blissful aurora]

can you get EC ?

[jaunty sparrow]

Nah I won't be able to get another dlc for a while

[slate sluice]

then they might. well. Aggro on you. Even if they're at the edge of render range

[blissful aurora]

oh ya they did change the buffalo AI, I swear they go aggro more than they used to

[tribal shore]

atv is good if you have to travel 5 - 6 KM, there is no outpost near where you're going and you do not want to walk all that way. They are too noisy otherwise

[blissful aurora]

tbh I just carry tents all the time, like one tent

it’s heavy sure but it’s a mobile outpost

[pastel geode]

The amount of trophies I found just by walking from outpost to outpost is unreal

[blissful aurora]

literally my playstyle LMAO

[pastel geode]

Oh yeah, just walk against the wind and see what's out there

[jaunty sparrow]

Damn this 243 is good

[blissful aurora]

YEAH it’s literally just a sawn off .243 rifle

[jaunty sparrow]

Yh

[blissful aurora]

saves a ton of weight and gets pistol xp with rifle performance

[cobalt spear]

Same

No. 1 advocate against ATVs

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm so annoyed

[blissful aurora]

ATVs imo are only good if you’re doing the campaign missions where they have you walk halfway across the world fo a fetch quest

[cobalt spear]

True that

[blissful aurora]

like I am a whole ass student, I don’t have time to walk five kilometres in real time

[cursive pike]

True yes, I used to do this too, now what I do is pull up a Hotspot map from one of the content creators and way point my way across the map. Unlocking things as I got to the final destination. Find way more cool stuff that way

Found a gold albino gator this way that otherwise I may have never seen

[tribal shore]

Sounds good. I do not grind or farm. I just hunt so I get it

[pastel geode]

Could argue ATVs being good if you need to find bunnies. Start driving and watch for the warning thump, then just walk in that general direction

[blissful aurora]

honestly it’s just more fun to pick a direction and walk, like I saw my first wood bison in Askly today while walking to an outpost

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm actually never gonna get a diamond

[blissful aurora]

the tooltip said it was endangered, but I only saw it a few seconds after getting a .375 lung shot off

[cobalt spear]

I just use the feeders for rabbit

Which, i do need to get back on my antelope jackrabbit grind

[cursive pike]

The single best use of the atv ive found. And all I use it for really now is scaring crocs in emerald coast before I start thumping magpie geese

[blissful aurora]

nah I find that diamonds just run into you occasionally

[jaunty sparrow]

This blacktail was 1 away from a diamond

[blissful aurora]

I have a total of twelve out of like… idk how much three months is in hours

[dense zealot]

That's crazy

[blissful aurora]

actually lemme check my playtime, it’s smth absurd

[blissful aurora]

look sometimes I’m in it for the vibes, the immersion

hunting tigers with a simple bow and an antique single shot rifle is peak

[blissful aurora]

actually nvm, my total playtime is 19.2 days according to Xbox

[jaunty sparrow]

Damn

[dense zealot]

I love the Gandhare too. Never played much with the bow tho

[blissful aurora]

yeah, 460 hours

[jaunty sparrow]

I only got 30 hours

[blissful aurora]

that’s nothing next to my Elden Ring playtime, 756 hours 😭

[dense zealot]

I got like 550 now but started over after ~300 hours

[jaunty sparrow]

You play elden ring???

[blissful aurora]

YEAH???

[jaunty sparrow]

YEAAH!!

[blissful aurora]

the only game I’ve ever platted on steam

[jaunty sparrow]

Elden ring is my favourite game ever

[blissful aurora]

bows are nice if you like the idea of getting into kissing distance for the kind of penetration only seen in high tier War Thunder ground RB

[dense zealot]

The hell are you talking about

[blissful aurora]

class 9 arrows have absurd penetration

shooting a buffalo in the arse for a lung shot level of penetration

[jaunty sparrow]

I want to learn how to set up a grind tbh

[blissful aurora]

like even the crossbow has absolutely stupid pen

[native gorge]

I found a 8 mithical black bear but I lost it sadly

[blissful aurora]

tbh that also goes for pen-based pistol ammo as well

hardcast on the .454 may as well be a pocket railgun

[jaunty sparrow]

It shouldn't be this hard to get 6k

[blissful aurora]

yea that’s one of my gripes with the game design

[native gorge]

why is it so much for a bow

[blissful aurora]

you need money for everything but it’s a pain to get

frankly the best solution is just getting EC and making crocodiles extinct

[jaunty sparrow]

If I get 6k I can get something other than the base binoculars

[nimble sequoia]

IVE RETURNED

[blissful aurora]

HELLO

I am proselytising the wonders of class 9 arrows

[cursive pike]

What are you hunting? 6k isn't that much?

[blissful aurora]

and to a lesser extent the Moradi

[jaunty sparrow]

Anything I can find 😭

[cursive pike]

What map

[jaunty sparrow]

Verhonga

[tribal shore]

Remember (except for waypoints) eventually the scopes work just like the binoculars.

[native gorge]

What's the best weapon for a moose and deer

[cursive pike]

Target lion drink zones

[dense zealot]

.300

[cursive pike]

Or switch to a map with more predators

[blissful aurora]

depends on class lol

[native gorge]

300 what

[jaunty sparrow]

The only other map I have other than the free ones is Medved

[cursive pike]

Wolves, bear

[dense zealot]

Canning magnum/arzyna

[cursive pike]

Wolves will aggro and come to you

[jaunty sparrow]

The only problem is that I'm the worst player to ever live on Medved

[blissful aurora]

wolves are nice if you can get them to attack you

[native gorge]

ok thanks

[blissful aurora]

that’s from Yukon, which he doesn’t have

[cursive pike]

It's not any different than other maps, target drink times

[dense zealot]

Arzyna

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm just bad with the trees

[dense zealot]

If he doesn't have dlc then .338 ig

[blissful aurora]

I dont think he has that dlc either

[jaunty sparrow]

I know what map I want but sadly I can't get it

[dense zealot]

Base game weapons are really bad for big game tho

[cursive pike]

No trees on frozen lakes where they will be

[nimble sequoia]

nice, im still hella hyped about the big game draw lmfao

[tribal shore]

Keep watching. The maps go on sale every few months.

[nimble sequoia]

i wont even know until the 26th to the 29th of May

[regal mauve]

ANY NEWSS?

[native gorge]

how do I get tree stands and new calls

[blissful aurora]

the sundberg isn’t bad imo, the base hollow points have decent pen for what they are

[regal mauve]

oh

[blissful aurora]

just need to get close for a lung

[nimble sequoia]

they take all of April and May to sort out the applications yeah

[dense zealot]

Aren't we talking rifles rn?

[nimble sequoia]

then secondary Draw opens in June

[blissful aurora]

any weapons frankly

[regal mauve]

7mm is roarsome wdym???

[blissful aurora]

7mm falls off once you hit class 8

[regal mauve]

good for 8 bad for 9

[dense zealot]

Compare 7mm to .300 when shooting a moose or bison and you'll see what I mean

[blissful aurora]

eh even with 300 moose tend to live too long for my taste

[native gorge]

I found a 8 mithical black bear but it got away

[blissful aurora]

I prefer the .375

[regal mauve]

okay but i wouldnt never say the 7mm is BAD for big game, theres better in dlc but it is by no means bad at all

[regal mauve]

enter me <3

[cobalt spear]

.375 just goated

[dense zealot]

Gotta aim for the heart

[regal mauve]

havent even used it and i agree

[cobalt spear]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-you-mean-by-that-gif-10840397091743458571

[nimble sequoia]

you gotta pay hella money as a nonresident loaf i dont think youve got the capital

[ornate cobalt]

My thoughts exactly

[blissful aurora]

yeah he has the hpp so he has a .338 bolt and a 7mm bolt

[regal mauve]

how much we talking?

call me a peasant again i dare u

[ornate cobalt]

All the money

[nimble sequoia]

so aside from the like

thousands of dollars for the round trip flight

hotel stays

etc

into the US

[regal mauve]

chicken feed

[blissful aurora]

moose have big hearts but a new guy isn’t gonna be getting consistent heart shots without all the rifle perks

[nimble sequoia]

the application itself plus the license for you as a nonresident would be 500 to 1000 dollars depending on species

[ornate cobalt]

Crazy comeback gang

[cursive pike]

What state?

[blissful aurora]

heck even I struggle to get consistent heart shots lol

[regal mauve]

right so ive got £100 to my name honse, you cover the rest ill shell my hundred and we call it even?

[nimble sequoia]

Colorado; our nonres elk licenses are 843 dollars

[regal mauve]

lets not res the elks theyre right

[jaunty sparrow]

I think I've gotten like one heart shot and it was completely based on luck. Pretty sure it was a female lion. I think it was gold

[cursive pike]

Yeah... Def pricey out that way

[nimble sequoia]

much more affordable for residents than nonres

[old lion]

Hunting licenses in general are not fun to get 😭😭

[cursive pike]

I lived in Montana, I could hunt everything for 81$ (otc) dad would come out to hunt a single deer with me and he started at 800. Just for the base plus draw. I get it

[blissful aurora]

yeahhh

[terse totem]

How much is a rocky mountain elk tag there?

[old lion]

Montana got some goofy licensing

[native gorge]

the only heart shot I got was a jack rabbit

[blissful aurora]

woth ngl has the better ballistics system with hunter sense, istg ive gotten a 350m heart shot with a kitted out .338 lapua there

[cursive pike]

Valid 😂😂

[old lion]

Wyoming too

[jaunty sparrow]

Nice

[blissful aurora]

like woth has better sniping but a dogshit stealth system

[jaunty sparrow]

Now I need 10k.

[blissful aurora]

because the spook meter also takes into account movement speed, even if you’re travelling quietly

I’ve had it explained as an invisible meter

which is stupid

[nimble sequoia]

70.40 USD for residents

[terse totem]

What abt ppl from other states

[cursive pike]

843 said above

[blissful aurora]

alas I shall bounce, for I am not Amerikaner and lack said licenses anyway

farewellllll

[nimble sequoia]

its either 843 or 893, cant remember if they raised it last year or not

[nimble sequoia]

real

cya addy

[jaunty sparrow]

Farewell

[blissful aurora]

I shall return soon, for I need to grind out money as well for respeccing (because for SOME REASON that also costs exorbitant amounts of crocodile blood money)

[nimble sequoia]

😂

[jaunty sparrow]

I also need money. But I'm too poor to get ec

[cursive pike]

Ec is popular. Could try to get in mp

[slate sluice]

Could always look for a multi session

-# I normally wouldn't suggest that but I see you're on PS, which is arguably the safest of the three

[blissful aurora]

respeccing and scope customisation should be free, I shall die on this hill

[jaunty sparrow]

Last time I went in a mp everything I've ever seen in the history of ever has been taken before I can even pull out a gun

[cursive pike]

scopes for sure should be a buy once, not every time especially when the game decides to revert your reticle

[blissful aurora]

like I should not need to murder a crocodile and its family to change my reticle

YEAH EXACTLY

I paid for the dlc already, just let me tweak it on the fly instead of the game client reverting to defaults every time there’s an update

[cursive pike]

ive spent so much on reticles because they revert sometimes before i leave the tent

[blissful aurora]

but then again we had to wait ten years or smth like that for a trophy sorter so ig QOL isn’t a priority here

[jaunty sparrow]

I've been failing to kill anything while listening to one piece music for the last hour. I must be doing something wrong

[cursive pike]

have you tried aiming?? it helped me

[jaunty sparrow]

🥹 genius

[cursive pike]

sorry, couldn't help it

[jaunty sparrow]

It was a great opportunity I must admit

[cursive pike]

what are you shooting, what are you shooting it with, and where are you shooting it

[regal mauve]

its a pleasure to meet you firefist ace

[cursive pike]

also what level are you

[jaunty sparrow]

Live life without regrets. I don't wanna live a thousand years. If I just live through today, that'll be enough

[regal mauve]

i dont remember this quote but hold the spoilers i am only in skypeia

[jaunty sparrow]

Ooh . Your getting there

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm fully caught up

[blissful aurora]

oof they shut down the feedback archive LOL

[regal mauve]

big up ussop all my homies love ussop

[blissful aurora]

I was just about to make a thread for making reticle changes and respecs free

[regal mauve]

googled it and that story sounds interesting maybe i will try…

[jaunty sparrow]

Yeah I highly recommend

[blissful aurora]

anyhow thanks for whoever linked avahub, literally made an account to see if I can get respec costs reduced

like 20k for a single weapon tree is absurd ngl

[jaunty sparrow]

I've been at these lions for the last 25 mins and I haven't made a dime

[blissful aurora]

go for capes

they’re big and fat and travel in groups

[dense zealot]

Hunting lions for money is a trash idea lmao

[jaunty sparrow]

I just want a male lion tbh

[jaunty sparrow]

I couldn't be more clueless on where they are

[blissful aurora]

southern areas iirc

[regal mauve]

no i got u

dw

[blissful aurora]

dankeeee

[inner temple]

who wants money?

[jaunty sparrow]

I gotta learn how to be useful in this game

[inner temple]

and levels

[blissful aurora]

the mobile port is pain in ass and idk whether ew pays attention to feedback there or not

hopefully they do!

[nimble sequoia]

🤨

[lunar junco]

ALLO

[blissful aurora]

I still haven’t forgotten how it took us ten years for a trophy sorter tho LOL

go forth

wreck his arse, horseman

[inner temple]

what u need some if u on pc send me a friend request on cotw and ill get u some money

[pastel geode]

The audacity lol

[nimble sequoia]

I dont need money or levels, and how are you doing that anyways 💀

[terse totem]

Im crine

[blissful aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-hackerman-kung-fury-gif-7953536

[inner temple]

i stacked my emrald coast

[nimble sequoia]

which means.... what exactly?

[inner temple]

ive stacked my coast with 7 and above

[vernal parcel]

Aneyone have a te awora red deer hotspot map

[nimble sequoia]

so youre offering a herd managed croc population for people to just shoot down for money?

[jaunty sparrow]

Can anyone teach me to be capable

[inner temple]

yea ppl need money and lvls

[nimble sequoia]

did you do that legit or did you mod your game

[inner temple]

legit

[vernal parcel]

Ty

[terse totem]

If its legit isnt it allowed?

[nimble sequoia]

well okay then

uh likely not a rule break then so

ig go over to #🦌︴find-a-game and invite people who are newbies

[pastel geode]

Their first message was about trading though

[untold coyote]

Chat, serious question here. If you were an initial spawn diamond on sundarpatan where would you be

[terse totem]

Bc garrus let me on their map to get a dime reindeer

[vernal parcel]

What was your first g1

[jaunty sparrow]

Probably on the map tbh

[terse totem]

A place

[untold coyote]

I disagree, I think it's in Scotland personally

[blissful aurora]

highlands, diamond snow leopard (nobody’s ever finding my ass)

[jaunty sparrow]

Oooh. Id personally be in verhonga. You should go to verhonga

[blissful aurora]

though ngl diamond bobcat on NEM also works, I saw the bastard like once in all of 400 hours

[untold coyote]

Sounds about right

[jaunty sparrow]

Can someone help me learn how to stalk

[untold coyote]

I have no idea where to look on sundarpatan

[jaunty sparrow]

You should check sundarpatan

[untold coyote]

When I was doing the quests I found a max weight mythical tiger and that's the only trophy I have on it lol

[terse totem]

I have a guaranteed diamond grant caribou i saw gor a few seconds behind some trees

Never saw it again

[untold coyote]

Nahhhhh not there

[jaunty sparrow]

True there's no way anything would spawn there

[blissful aurora]

pain

[untold coyote]

I haven't given up on my mule deer setup but it's boooorrrrring and I want to hunt something

[blissful aurora]

that’s just me with birds ngl

[untold coyote]

And I have given up on Crocs because they're mean

[blissful aurora]

the only bird dime I got is a capercaille that tried to kill me

[jaunty sparrow]

Very mean

[blissful aurora]

crocs literally just lie there wdym

[untold coyote]

Their populations have been decimated by me and they refuse to respawn as a diamond

[blissful aurora]

ah lol

[jaunty sparrow]

Can anyone teach me how to be useful in this game

[untold coyote]

Couple hundred croc kills with nothing lol

[blissful aurora]

I’ve got like, one diamond croc

[blissful aurora]

patience young padawan

[untold coyote]

If you ever find out, lmk

[terse totem]

I had a troll croc once

[jaunty sparrow]

Will do

[untold coyote]

I had a troll lion

Absolute nightmare

And caribou. Couple others too, I got angry and gave up for a long time because of how many trolls I had

[terse totem]

I bothed a diamond goat the other day

[untold coyote]

And I screwed up a pig once and that hurt too, haven't botched a diamond since

[jaunty sparrow]

I've never laid my eyes on a diamond

[untold coyote]

Ouch how many hours

[jaunty sparrow]

32

[untold coyote]

Oh you're a baby nevermind

You'll get there one day

[jaunty sparrow]

Yh I'm not that good

Best thing I've ever killed was a lvl 6 lion.

[untold coyote]

There's not much skill involved in it lowkey

[jaunty sparrow]

It was gold

[untold coyote]

Yeah I'll hunt lions when/if the models get updated

[jaunty sparrow]

I just want money tbh

[untold coyote]

Emerald coast is the map for you then

[jaunty sparrow]

I don't got it

I got verhonga and medved

[pastel geode]

Do you have tripods or the duck and cover DLC?

[untold coyote]

Well I figured that if you're grinding for money with lions, pick up emerald coast whenever you can and you'll make bank

[jaunty sparrow]

Nope

[pastel geode]

Hmmm... 'cause I'm getting 600 per goose on Hirsch and easily can take 5-8 birds per rotation. Takes 20 minutes to get a few thousand dollars

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm Terrible at killing any type of bird

I can never see them.

[untold coyote]

I don't remember what you get for ducks in the base game. Salz made me decent money when I was hunting ducks. Maybe Layton could net a decent amount hunting mallards

[jaunty sparrow]

I have a pretty solid loadout but I'm bad at using it

[pastel geode]

Ducks average around 300 per bird

[untold coyote]

Couple birds everytime they land and that's free cash and eventually some diamonds

Plus bird shot is really cheap

[cursive pike]

geese are crazy easy, they land, they are fat, and they fly slow

[untold coyote]

But I don't remember if you need a DLC for decoys

[pastel geode]

For Canada Goose? No, don't think so. Only for DLC species

[untold coyote]

For geese or Mallards

[pastel geode]

They're base species so don't think you need DLC for those

(maybe I'm wrong though)

[untold coyote]

But yeah could hunt Canada geese on Hirsch potentially

[untold coyote]

Yeah I can't remember at all. I hope you're right though because it'd be a little bogus if you can't get a decent setup for the birds on the base game maps without DLCs

[pastel geode]

I know I didn't buy any geese decoys and already had 30 of them (10 of each) already in my storage

Also, was able to make 200K in like 2 days shooting Hirsch geese

[untold coyote]

Though I learned recently that ATVs are a dlc pack for PC? Which is pretty insane to me

[vocal briar]

Does anyone know who who maintains the cotw companion app?

[untold coyote]

Yeah it's a good method. I remember being jealous of my friend because he had the geese dlc back in the day

Or at least was a good method

Crocs are good for money though. Run up and down the coast blasting them

I use the .44 lever action, easy money

[jaunty sparrow]

I just need 10k rn

Can't get it because Im Terrible at the game though

[pastel geode]

My geese have started doing a thing where they just stop coming in. Sit here and they just pour in, shoot them all, and nothing comes back lol

[untold coyote]

In your defense, you're new hunting lions

[jaunty sparrow]

Yeah I probably shouldn't be hunting lions

[cursive pike]

i had to make a second setup, once the 2nd one stops coming in i go back to the first one and get them

[jaunty sparrow]

Can anyone teach me how to be capable

[pastel geode]

I have 3 about 500m away from each other (for Greylag on Salz) and when one stops spawning, I walk (yes, walk) to the other 2 and continue shooting on them. Along the way I get all the upland birds I'm missing so it's a win-win for me lol

[cursive pike]

about right

[untold coyote]

In what way

[jaunty sparrow]

Stalking and just earning money in general

[untold coyote]

Shoot things, make money👍👍👍 I don't have any help for that

[jaunty sparrow]

Genius

[tiny parcel]

What’s the highest caliber ammunition you have?

[untold coyote]

Stalking I'm pretty bad at, when I see animals I'm usually pretty far away or else I spook them. I get within range, and make a good shot so I don't have to keep track of them lol

[shrewd apex]

Pretty sure they have that info in the app itself. It’s nobody here, that’s for sure. It’s a community made app with no official ties to the game.

[untold coyote]

I find it relatively difficult to not scare animals, usually I "sneak" up on them accidentally and scare them without even knowing

[jaunty sparrow]

Not sure tbh

[tiny parcel]

What’s the name of the rifle you’re using?

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm using the malmer

[untold coyote]

I'll just walk around looking for them, when I see them I sneak up if needed and start blasting

Oh dude that things a beast

Man it's been a long time since I started

Do you have anything that tells you range yet?

[jaunty sparrow]

Nope

I'm saving up for something that does though

[untold coyote]

Ouch

Oh the first range finder, you're close right

[jaunty sparrow]

Yh 6k away

[untold coyote]

Isn't it like 12k

[tiny parcel]

OK, you have MEDVED map, change the time to 12:30 PM and run the big lake in a big clockwise circle on the edge, shooting the moose.

Then go down to the frozen river at the bottom of your map and follow it North, shoot all the moose. Don’t forget to collect your harvest’s and when you shoot a moose, check the x-ray view and take note of where the lungs and the heart are for future reference.

You can catch them on the ice from pretty far away so you won’t have to worry about scaring them off +200M/Y.

[jaunty sparrow]

Yh

[jaunty sparrow]

I'll try that

[untold coyote]

Yeah hunt moose on medved

That's a good call actually

The lungs are pretty intuitive, what type of ammo do you have?

[jaunty sparrow]

I just have polymer tip with the malmer

[untold coyote]

Moose can be tough

[jaunty sparrow]

I know

[dense zealot]

Oh hell naw

Well good luck, once you have better ammo and guns it'll get way easier so power through it and then it'll be fine

[tiny parcel]

You can also try reindeer just before dawn (~05:00) on the big lake with that rifle if the moose are too tough.

Watch out for wolves.

[untold coyote]

What's the problem?

[vast night]

Is the steam version the best if you are on PC?

[jaunty sparrow]

I lowk want wolves. I could easily kill them if they attack

[untold coyote]

You yearn for crocodiles

[jaunty sparrow]

I know

[untold coyote]

It's funny how aggressive they are

[jaunty sparrow]

Yeah I cant hunt moose

No matter how many times I hit them they just don't go down

[untold coyote]

Where'd you shoot it at? If you're only hitting a single lung they'll take a little to drop

[jaunty sparrow]

I hit them right where the lung is . But they just kept running

[blissful aurora]

nah, funniest aggro is capercaille

[untold coyote]

Run to the blood and see if you hit vital

[blissful aurora]

I’ve had a dime literally walk up to my face, it’s great

[untold coyote]

That is hilarious

[tiny parcel]

They are crepuscular, catch them at dawn or dusk on the ice.

[blissful aurora]

honestly those and grouse are what makes Revontuli for me

it’s not my fave map cos it’s mostly birds, but I like it still

also it has actual bits if civilisation like a campsite and port so like, I’m biased

[untold coyote]

I forgot that I got rev and medved 2 weeks ago

[regal mauve]

im in rev rn with my retriever laila!

[jaunty sparrow]

I'm gonna go for a bit but I'll be back

[untold coyote]

My retriever is named Tucker after my childhood chocolate lab

[jaunty sparrow]

I couldn't think of a name

[untold coyote]

What should I wear on sundarpatan? I need to look good while dying to tigers

[blissful aurora]

I’m a fan of the Parque outfit

[regal mauve]

ew give us character customisation and microtransactions please

[regal mauve]

i got it on rn

[jaunty sparrow]

What's the best way to hunt birds

[regal mauve]

walk n shoot!

[jaunty sparrow]

🥹 🥹

[untold coyote]

Which one is this?

[jaunty sparrow]

Outfits are for the weak

[blissful aurora]

the gaucho one

[untold coyote]

Too bougie for my liking. I need something less

Does Scotland have an outfit? Please say yes

[regal mauve]

sadly not

everyone was praying for one

[jaunty sparrow]

Clothes are overrated

[regal mauve]

like no joke everyone in here wanted one

[untold coyote]

That's such a missed opportunity

[untold coyote]

When you have money you'll understand the need to look fly

[cursive pike]

outfits are kinda silly, if you only play sp you don't see anything but the dudes janky thumbs

[regal mauve]

the arctic like fur outfit one is my fave all the way icl i wear it always on cold maps

[untold coyote]

Yeah well I can see my gloves in my ghillie suits and I need a change

[regal mauve]

i disagree because i know what i look like even if i dont see it

[regal mauve]

fact, i like wearing snowy ghillie sometimes too and its illogical to wear that in savannah so

[untold coyote]

Exactly

[regal mauve]

like theres no practical use but i guess like… roleplaying purposes i suppose?

it just feels wrong using the wrong outfit

[untold coyote]

I agree

They don't affect how animals detect you

[regal mauve]

missed opportunity

[untold coyote]

I also agree

[regal mauve]

even if it only lowers ur sight by a bar id take it

if u wear the right ghillie obv

[cursive pike]

i have the EC outfit on and like to hunt askiy and medved with it, then atleast the scope shake can be justified by hypothermia

[untold coyote]

Even if it was a very loose color palette for maps I'd be happy

I can understand why it's not in the game. The outfits are expensive and they don't always match perfectly. I'd be happy if they were functional though

[regal mauve]

they should also add bipods for prone shooting, make it optional if theres space too obv

[untold coyote]

Backpacks make you louder, outfits should help visibility

[regal mauve]

id be happy if there was an upside to wearing them, but no downside to not wearing them if u get me?

[cursive pike]

100 agree

[untold coyote]

Oh yeah that would be splendid

[regal mauve]

always been surprised there isnt any

[untold coyote]

I just bought the Australian outback fit. Does it work with sundarpatan? Probably not, but when I go back to Australia for Crocs, It'll make sense then

[regal mauve]

also for like hunting structures too would be amazing, put it on the window and bam

[untold coyote]

I need a weapon setup for sundar now

[blissful aurora]

HONESTLY yeah

[cursive pike]

i have the EC outfit on and like to hunt askiy and medved with it, then atleast the scope shake can be justified by hypothermia........ i posted this above, but theres always a way to justify an outfit for a map lol

[untold coyote]

Don't care about a goose🗣️ I'll keep a .22 for a rabbit though

[blissful aurora]

BF1 made bipods work

[blissful aurora]

woe, Houyi and Gandhare /jjj

[untold coyote]

Making a setup for a map is my favorite part

[ripe mountain]

There needs to be squirrels in the game

[blissful aurora]

it’s authentic for the region but very much not user-friendly

another setup I like is the .375 + SKS, esp for Askly

[untold coyote]

I don't have the grandhare yet, I do have the bow. I have no idea what the woe is

I need those weapon packs

Bringing a .22h

I remember when this thing was like 60k

[blissful aurora]

OH that’s just me being fancy with words, woe is like ‘oh, woe is me’

[untold coyote]

Ah

[blissful aurora]

yeah LOL

just my English major brain leaking through

[blissful aurora]

weapon pack 2, you know you want to…….

[untold coyote]

I have that one I think

Oh yeah

[blissful aurora]

drilling :>

[untold coyote]

Let me look at the ones I don't have

I haven't used the drilling in years

[blissful aurora]

drilling + .243 pistol is like, my number one loadout lol

covers every single class competently

[untold coyote]

What an odd birthday this has been, sitting here getting sick and playing cotw🔥

High caliber, rapid hunt, hunters choice, pump flip

Only weapon packs I'm missing

[jaunty sparrow]

W

[blissful aurora]

if you have weapon pack 2

then get weapon pack 1

[untold coyote]

I have that

[blissful aurora]

damn lol

fun fact! the reticle dots correspond to 20m intervals

so the max range is actually 100m by sights

[untold coyote]

I speak in yards only🔥

[blissful aurora]

damn LOL

then I’m not too sure, metres and km is what I use

[untold coyote]

Black buck will be interesting to get. Those class 3s are always an odd spot

[blissful aurora]

ik the crossbow scope is basically a ranging tool tho

[teal shadow]

Use the 300.👍

[untold coyote]

Oh absolutely

[blissful aurora]

sks my beloved

just gotta adjust for bullet drop

[untold coyote]

I think I should use the .470 for black buck

[shrewd apex]

You tried the frost?

[untold coyote]

So my easy choice for black buck is the .44

But where's the fun in that

[blissful aurora]

yea ik the frost is technically better but I just prefer the sks for vibes

that and having a semi auto weapon is invaluable for when wolves decide that you’ve entered the wrong neighbourhood

[shrewd apex]

Was just curious lol I’m still unsure which I prefer between the two. The bullet drop and velocity for the sks is meh, but the visual flash that occurs after you shoot the .257 is a little much lol

Literally freezes my screen at times

[blissful aurora]

eh I’m used to compensating for bullet drop since I use the crossbow and Moradi a lot

[untold coyote]

Oh my, the answer was right in front of me

The Glock of course

[nimble sequoia]

i am pondering

[blissful aurora]

THE GLOCK

[shrewd apex]

Oh same, I mean I use the 22h… I’m used to the bullet drop lol it just feels odd with that gun for some reason

[blissful aurora]

yessss use the glock

[nimble sequoia]

I already went back and did my HIP survey so i can legally hunt small game

[blissful aurora]

sixteen rounds of wolf killing goodness

[nimble sequoia]

so a reprinted license is being sent to me via mail

for free i might add

[shrewd apex]

-# send me the pelts pls pls pls pls

[nimble sequoia]

literally no money

[nimble sequoia]

lmao

[shrewd apex]

Ayo

That’s neat actually

[blissful aurora]

I’ve never actually checked the bullet drop for the .22h

[nimble sequoia]

but im wondering about preference points

[shrewd apex]

It’s… it’s there. That’s for sure. Lol

[nimble sequoia]

specifically for a very large animal that takes a long ass time to draw for cause youve gotta get points

[untold coyote]

Oh the Glock only gets a reflex? Makes hunting black buck even more enjoyable

[blissful aurora]

huhhhh gotcha

[nimble sequoia]

said animal being a moose

[shrewd apex]

Anything beyond 230~ you’re going to have to account for slightly, and 250+ it’s reaaaaally noticeable

I love making 400yd shots with it though lol

[blissful aurora]

yeap it has a reflex, nice clear sight picture

peak solution for wolf packs

[untold coyote]

Hmmm what to use for the 9s

[blissful aurora]

.375 or a bow

[untold coyote]

I think I agree

[blissful aurora]

arrows in this game have the penetration of rods from god

[untold coyote]

I don't have a .375 but I do have a recurve bow

Or maybe I should use a longbow

[blissful aurora]

I wish I saved that image of getting a lung shot on a buffalo through the arse

with an arrow

[untold coyote]

I forgot about tigers

[blissful aurora]

class 9 arrows are silly

[untold coyote]

I don't think I can hunt a tiger with a bow

[blissful aurora]

you can actually

trust in the class 9 arrows

[solid slate]

You definitely can, just gotta be accurate with your shots otherwise you’re gonna die

[untold coyote]

Oh I'm aware you can, I'm just not confident in my aim

[untold coyote]

Exactly

I'll be food

[blissful aurora]

just gotta wait till they’re close

[teal shadow]

Work wonders against rabbits👍

[untold coyote]

I'll bring a 4-9 rifle just in case

[solid slate]

Usually you can just let them go aggressive and you can get a good shot at anywhere between 20-40 yards.

[blissful aurora]

.375 my goat

[untold coyote]

Longbow or recurve

[untold coyote]

Stop reminding me that I don't have that pack😤😤

[blissful aurora]

then get it!!!

it has the best big game rifle in terms of stats and vibes

[untold coyote]

I can't or I would lmao

[shrewd apex]

Practice makes progress. You’ll never get better unless you try
Throw yourself in the deep end. Do it. Lol have fun

[blissful aurora]

imo it’s the closest the game has to like, a .50 cal in any other genre

[untold coyote]

But how often am I really going to be hunting tigers with a bow lol, I agree except for the fact it's a situation I won't actually catch myself in

[green blaze]

guys should i buy the scotland hunting reserve or the alberta preserve?

[untold coyote]

Do wild yak go aggressive like cape buffalo?

[shrewd apex]

I mean… idk? Depends on you? I do it for fun lol

[untold coyote]

Fair enough

[shrewd apex]

Very much so

[untold coyote]

Okay good

[shrewd apex]

I’d argue they may be more aggressive lol

Like they’ll chase you down

You think they’re gone and youve killed them all but nope, there’s another 8 waiting for you

[untold coyote]

In my defense, I'm using the Glock which I've never used, and I'm using the bow for 2 species which I rarely use. My comfort zone is like 30 yards behind me right now

45-70 my beloved

[shrewd apex]

Believe in yourself

Lol

[untold coyote]

If I see an initial spawn diamond yak the bow will be the main weapon

Why does the recurve bow have a sight option

[shrewd apex]

Because you can put scopes on them

[untold coyote]

Which ones?

[teal shadow]

The bow scopes👍

[untold coyote]

There isn't a scope compatible for the houyi

[jaunty sparrow]

What's the best way to get money without ec?

[untold coyote]

No idea

[jaunty sparrow]

You are one of the most helpful people I've ever spoke to

[untold coyote]

You're welcome

Tbf, I've given you quite a few ideas lol

And some others have given some as well

[jaunty sparrow]

You said move and shoot 😭

[teal shadow]

Do a g1 grind

[jaunty sparrow]

I couldn't be more clueless on how to do a grind

[untold coyote]

Well yeah, you won't make money not shooting anything

[jaunty sparrow]

Fair point

[untold coyote]

I need to reset all of my perks and skills

[pastel geode]

If you cannot do crocs, and you cannot/don't wanna do birds, then just moving around and shooting is still a viable option

[dull bear]

Missions

[teal shadow]

There's about 57565479088908754355353794 tutorials on grinding🤣

[jaunty sparrow]

I wanna do birds but I'm just terrible at finding and hitting them

[pastel geode]

There's roughly that amount for each species lol

[jaunty sparrow]

That's way too easy for me

[untold coyote]

I hate every single one of them🗣️

[pastel geode]

Set up decoys, wait and shoot them on the ground. Can get 5-7 just with one shot

[jaunty sparrow]

What map?

[untold coyote]

That's not true, but I'm better with someone that's able to answer my questions and explain it to me. That's a lot of why I've put my mule deer on pause.

[pastel geode]

Any. All maps have birds of some kind.

[untold coyote]

Get cotw companion if you're on android

[jaunty sparrow]

Alr

[dull bear]

Gators

[untold coyote]

If you're on iPhone there is an app as well

Tells you the species on every map, very helpful

[teal shadow]

We know gator keeper

[untold coyote]

There is a bird on every map you have.

[regal mauve]

first dime bear!

[jaunty sparrow]

Ooooh

[dull bear]

Nice

[grizzled arch]

I’m gonna set up a whitetail GO grind on New England soon, just need more cash

[teal shadow]

Srp?

[untold coyote]

Mallard on Layton, Canada goose on Hirsch, capercaillie on medved, wigeon on vurhonga

[untold coyote]

They don't have srp

[regal mauve]

i think theyre just talking about this persons maps

[untold coyote]

I'd pick Mallard on Layton, or wigeon on vurhonga

[dull bear]

Turkeys

[teal shadow]

I see this🤣

[teal shadow]

Your a bird

[pastel geode]

Turkeys don't work like waterfowl do though

[cobalt spear]

And like, only 4 of them are actually good

[unkempt pine]

2 of my snow leos are lvl5 by now

[untold coyote]

Yeah but that's not a money grind imo

[unkempt pine]

if i can get 1 more

hm will work

[teal shadow]

Never said they were all good lmao

[regal mauve]

lowk forget they count as birds

[teal shadow]

I said there's a crap ton lol

[untold coyote]

Turkeys aren't real anyhow

[shrewd apex]

What exactly did you need to know about em?

[dull bear]

They can give money just not that much

[regal mauve]

a wild stoney appears!

WAIT UR BACK IN THE DISCORD

[jaunty sparrow]

Honestly I'm not sure if music makes me better or worse

[cobalt spear]

oh my GOD EW let us do this

[regal mauve]

PLEASE

[untold coyote]

I'm not on the map so I'll struggle to explain. I understand the concept of it. Putting it into practice I'm struggling though. It's odd, I'm just stupid lmao

I'll get it eventually, I'm not too worried about it right now

What's a good time to hunt on sundarpatan? Just a general I'll see a good amount of everything time

[grizzled arch]

God taxidermy is beautiful

[shrewd apex]

Also add raccoons to the tree limbs 🔥🔥🔥

[shrewd apex]

Alright lol well there’s plenty of folks around in here that have done mulie grinds, whenever you do actually need help

[untold coyote]

Yeah people have helped me. I've come a long way from when I wanted to start it.

[dense zealot]

Start 8 am at the lakes in the middle on the left side and you'll see tons of nilgai drinking. They drink until 12 and after that, barasingha drink in the bottom and lower middle on the lakes. After their drink time, go to the lakes on the upper right part of the map and you'll see blue sheep drinking

[snow hatch]

oh my days boys

[untold coyote]

It's a bit beyond what people can explain to me without being on the game with me, so I'll figure it out eventually

I want to play the game though so I'm on sundarpatan to see if I can find an initial spawn diamond

[cobalt spear]

lucky, i don't have a fat hog like you

[jaunty sparrow]

You can't mess up

[unkempt pine]

do feral pigs and wild hogs count as the same thing in game

[teal shadow]

Don't jinx it🤣

[teal shadow]

No

[snow hatch]

i've never seen a 5-medium pig until today lol

only collared peccaries

[untold coyote]

Bad time to say I only have 3 outposts discovered😂 but thank you

[teal shadow]

145 is dime

Very good estimate

[cobalt spear]

yes

they're the same animal

[unkempt pine]

whats the point of a new name

[teal shadow]

Not in-game

[unkempt pine]

i get puma vs mountain lion

[teal shadow]

They are different in-game

[snow hatch]

i kid you not, wild hogs and feral pigs are the exact same animal in cotw

[teal shadow]

The rares are different

[cobalt spear]

they the same in game

[snow hatch]

such as?

[cobalt spear]

bubba you're thinking of wild boar and feral pigs

[teal shadow]

Gimme just a sec

Maybe

[snow hatch]

wild boar are not the same as wild hogs g

[teal shadow]

Lemme double check first

[pastel geode]

lol

[cobalt spear]

son i'm crine

[untold coyote]

Oh my I forgot that the super mountain map is super mountain coded. Whatever will I do

[pastel geode]

Puma/Mountain Lion, Wild Hog/Feral Pig, Bobcat/Mexican Bobcat are all the same animal with different names lol

[teal shadow]

Wait wild hog?

[unkempt pine]

i can excuse puma/mountain lion and bobcat/mexican bobcat coz they are diff subspecies

[teal shadow]

What map is that?

[unkempt pine]

but wild hog vs feral pig is just synonyms

[snow hatch]

wild hog is mississippi

[teal shadow]

Oh

I dont have it

That makes sense now lol

[shrewd apex]

Best map ever btw

[teal shadow]

I did not know they existed lol

Sorry bout the confusion

👍

[cobalt spear]

bobcat and mexican bobcat are considered different in game

[shrewd apex]

Nah it’s the best map ever

[versed silo]

In French, wild hogs/feral pigs sports the same name

[pastel geode]

Oh really? Huh, always thought they were the same. Learn something new everyday

[versed silo]

Just like mountain lion and pumas

[untold coyote]

I just got killed by a tiger

[cobalt spear]

yeah they have different weights

[untold coyote]

Zero calls by the way

[unkempt pine]

i think we call feral pigs and boars the same thing in my language

[cobalt spear]

20kg is max for bobcats, 18 for mexican iirc

[unkempt pine]

we only differ male wild boars

[versed silo]

Yes

[untold coyote]

All of the sudden my dogs aggressive and I'm like uh oh, didn't see it, because it came from behind me

[teal shadow]

..

[untold coyote]

Classic sundarpatan moment

[teal shadow]

Wait till a snow leopard goes agressive🤣

[long shuttle]

Hi yall

[untold coyote]

Yeah if I ever see one

[teal shadow]

They do not wait😭

[unkempt pine]

snow leos are pure rage bait

[teal shadow]

Ive shot 2 in total

[unkempt pine]

they always manage to find the worst spots for their need zones

[shrewd apex]

Every source i’m finding says they’re the same lol

Scoring wise

As well as weight supposedly

[unkempt pine]

im on 15 rn

trying to hm them

[teal shadow]

How

[cobalt spear]

my source is the game

[teal shadow]

And why😭

[unkempt pine]

i need a diamond

[untold coyote]

I'ma go back to the tiger💯

It's outside of an outpost by like 150 yards

[teal shadow]

HM on snowy cats!?

[unkempt pine]

ive spent the whole night

[unkempt pine]

yes

i got 2 lvl 5 now

[teal shadow]

Your a lvl 2 masochist lol

[shrewd apex]

Where in the game does it tell you the max weight?

[teal shadow]

Lvl 4s hm

💀

[unkempt pine]

nah

[cobalt spear]

when you spot it

[unkempt pine]

leos are minimum lvl4

[old lion]

Antler size shock so real😭

[unkempt pine]

so lvl5 is fine

[teal shadow]

Lower weight range 5s hm

[teal shadow]

Doubt it

[unkempt pine]

they are

for males

[shrewd apex]

Oops

[untold coyote]

This tiger lives in the thickest worst area on the map

[shrewd apex]

Are you actually trying to mess with me or

[teal shadow]

🤣

[shrewd apex]

Like legitimately lol

[old lion]

Going from fallow to red deer is so crazy

[dense zealot]

When you spot it or when you see the tracks. You need to invest skill points for that tho

[old lion]

Legit that’s it’s

[untold coyote]

I can't see like 20 yards in front of me

[old lion]

You need to get spotting knowledge tho

[cobalt spear]

no

[inland tree]

.338 for salt water crocodile

[shrewd apex]

It doesn’t say it’s max weight though. It just reads as a high weight. I’ve never seen anything in game that says “x-xkg is max for this animal”

I have all the spotting knowledge and ish for that lol

[old lion]

That’s for the weight estimate if you’re asking about the max weight a species can get then maybe in the codex

If not there then outside resources

[untold coyote]

.44 solos

[shrewd apex]

That’s what I’m asking bebal. It doesn’t say it in codex either last I checked

I’m curious where they found, in game, what a specific animal’s max weight is

[inland tree]

is a crocodile considered dangerous game in Africa

[shrewd apex]

Or max score for that matter as well but I believe we were originally talking weight lol

[cobalt spear]

yeah when you spot the animal, you can see the weight estimate

[shrewd apex]

Yeah but that doesn’t tell you anything about whether that’s it’s max possible weight or not

[untold coyote]

The grass is taller than the black buck

[gilded hare]

There is like 40 deer at 2 zones on my revoltuli grind what is happening

[cobalt spear]

you will know it's max weight est because you won't see any above that weight est

[shrewd apex]

Welcome to sundar

[old lion]

When you see a Big Max level that’s it Max weight

[untold coyote]

This is crazy

[shrewd apex]

I mean that’s fair lol

[untold coyote]

Legitimately how do you hunt that?

[subtle brook]

Didn’t think bighorn were bad trolls but I’m 0-3 on them 😤

[shrewd apex]

Gonna take some people literal years to figure out max weights if they never look at community sources then lol

You’d be surprised the amount of information (or lack of it) casual players who don’t engage with the community know

[untold coyote]

I also completely lost where the tiger went so at any moment I could die

[shrewd apex]

There’s a lot of information that is missed in game lol

[shrewd apex]

Uhhh idfk treestands and tripods

[shrewd apex]

That is not how that works lol

[untold coyote]

Yeah idk how else you could

[shrewd apex]

Hoping and praying mayhaps? Lol

[old lion]

But it actually kinda is gng✌️🥀

[untold coyote]

Do tigers always 1 shot?

[slate sluice]

Max level doesn't guarantee max weight.

[shrewd apex]

It genuinely is not lol

[untold coyote]

Literally

I've never seen a max score animal

[slate sluice]

it'll be on the higher end of the weight estimate, sure, but not flat max

[shrewd apex]

Yeah. Max weight and max level are two separate things lol

You can have a max level but no max weight

For example. Lol

Not every lvl 5 or lvl 9 is going to make Diamond let alone be max

[old lion]

That’s why I say big max level

And I was talking weight estimates

[shrewd apex]

Still not how it works though lol

[dense zealot]

Aha now I get what you mean. I guess it's in the codex then

[old lion]

But like it lwk literally is

[shrewd apex]

“Big” max level is also pretty subject to opinions. What’s big to you may not be big to someone else, especially if they’re hunting different species since various max levels will appear differently.

Just because it looks big doesn’t mean it’s max weight, max estimate, or max score lol

[old lion]

Most big level 5 fallow are 220lbs max estimate

[untold coyote]

I have spotted my first sundarpatan target in months. huge trophy. A gold level 3 black buck. Practically the biggest trophy in game

[shrewd apex]

It’s not there either, at least not for the species I’ve looked at

Gonna have to dig around a bit

[untold coyote]

As I was typing that, a water buffalo charged me and I hit it in the heart with my recurve bow

[dense zealot]

Well I can say for sure it's in the cotw companion app. I use that for all kinds of stuff, tells you anything you want to know

[pastel geode]

Outside source though

[shrewd apex]

I use the app as well but it’s community managed and can be inaccurate. Was looking for an actual in game source

[old lion]

Lady has a species info thing with max weights

[shrewd apex]

Who

[old lion]

I don’t think there is one unless you data mine😭

[shrewd apex]

Shhhhhhhhh let’s not bring that up here lol I’m aware that’s likely the case but I am trying to give folks the benefit of the doubt

I’ve never seen any definitive max weight or max scores posted in game in all my years of playing and info reading. Lol

[old lion]

You are folks in this case twin😭😭😭

[shrewd apex]

They’ve added some new stuff to the codex though so perhaps

[pastel geode]

If I ever wanted or needed to see an animals max weight, I'd use Informality's quick reference guide

[shrewd apex]

What lol

[untold coyote]

Sundarpatan is the hardest map I've dealt with

[old lion]

Speaking of info I haven’t seen her in a while

[shrewd apex]

I don’t get at all what you mean by this lol

[pastel geode]

It's been a couple days I believe

[snow hatch]

what

[shrewd apex]

Not looking for oft incorrect outside sources but thanks

[shrewd apex]

You’re coming into a convo missing it’s context lol

[snow hatch]

the game quite literally tells you the max weight of stuff, though im missing context so inform me

[shrewd apex]

You can’t find “x is the max weight of x animal” in game

[old lion]

Alr 😭✌️🥀

[shrewd apex]

Where exactly?

[snow hatch]

literally spot an animal/

[old lion]

They don’t believe in that lol

[regal mauve]

they mean max weight overall garrus…

i assume

[shrewd apex]

Yeah I’m not talking about looking for max estimates or anything lol

[snow hatch]

what could "overall" possibly mean

[regal mauve]

the max possible weight of an animal what else??

[snow hatch]

ok, put an animal down and ill tell you the maximum possible weight

[old lion]

The very highest estimate would be the max weight tho

[shrewd apex]

I can spot a max weight estimate animal but the game itself is not going to tell me it’s max weight. Lol

[cobalt spear]

you can tell when you shoot it and look in the harvest screen

[shrewd apex]

A 28 scoring black bear will not tell me it’s max score yall

Same as it won’t tell me that it’s max weight is actually it’s max weight

[old lion]

Then use your brain to extrapolate some information 😭😭

[shrewd apex]

We are just comparing the in game numbers to the 3rd party sources that are telling us it’s max

Dude lol

[regal mauve]

i feel like ur all deliberately missing the point stoney is trying to make here

[shrewd apex]

Useless convo. Y’all have fun lol

[untold coyote]

My head is too full of cold to try and grasp this conversation

And I'm not going back for context

But sundarpatan is something else man

[old lion]

Maybe I lost the plot but like not on purpose

[snow hatch]

i quite literally don't get it

[shrewd apex]

Some folks in this server seem to not be able to follow conversations sometimes lol

[snow hatch]

the game does tell you the maximum possible weight of an animal

[shrewd apex]

Really common occurrence lol

[untold coyote]

My excuse is tigers are on the prowl🗣️

[regal mauve]

please tell me where genuinely i have never seen it

[cobalt spear]

we were talking about max weight, not score

[untold coyote]

But I wasn't a part of it anyway so y'all have fun

[cobalt spear]

the tracks of the animal

[shrewd apex]

I would literally just love to know where it says this in game. Please. Lol

I have all of my skills and perks max’d

[snow hatch]

look at the top left of my screen lmao

205kg

[regal mauve]

were after the species, not an exact animal and i think this is pretty obvious guys

[untold coyote]

Oh wait I think I understand

[cobalt spear]

it tells you in the map pause menu, even the decimals on the righthand side of the screen

[old lion]

-# hacking

Jkjk

[shrewd apex]

This still doesn’t tell you it’s max 🙃 you’re just seeing a big number and cross referencing with outside game sources

[rapid coyote]

Wym lmao

[cobalt spear]

it does though

[rapid coyote]

It is the max weight

[old lion]

Yeah I don’t think anywhere in game is says “this is the max weight” on a silver platter

[shrewd apex]

I’m blind can someone circle the damn thing

[rapid coyote]

It’s just not the exact decimal point

Like bear g1

[untold coyote]

Like the game itself doesn't say that 2400 pounds is the max weight for the crocodile

[rapid coyote]

Max weight is 409kg

[wide summit]

i think stony means like the biggest weight of that animal type not the one animel you looking at

'like what is the biggest piggy

[cobalt spear]

even then it still tells you in the map menu

[snow hatch]

240kg wild boar, no?

[rapid coyote]

Exactly

[shrewd apex]

Doesn’t tell ya max score either

Would love if it did ngl

[untold coyote]

I see what you mean though

[snow hatch]

crocs are scored by weight

[untold coyote]

I think

[shrewd apex]

I know lol I mean this for all species

[rapid coyote]

Wym?

[shrewd apex]

It would be awesome if we had a way to see all of that info in game

[rapid coyote]

Max score is hard to very on antlered species

[old lion]

Yeah but we can’t

[untold coyote]

If it weren't for outside sources, we'd have no way of knowing what the max score/weight for an animal is

[rapid coyote]

Bc the game can generate wonky ones that have never been seen and score higher then before

[wide summit]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2376081873

[rapid coyote]

So it’s hard to exactly tell max antler racks

[cobalt spear]

yes, the only way of tell max score on animals not scored by weight is by referencing other peoples trophies

[shrewd apex]

Beyond just shooting everything forever and making really strong educated guesses. Yep. Lol

[old lion]

I’ve lwkenuinely lost the plot at this point

[pastel geode]

If you spot a max weight moose, it says 545-620kg. The max weight for the moose is 620kg. Whether or not it makes it is another thing, but max weight for moose is 620kg.

[snow hatch]

exactly, i can confidently say 270.72 is max fallow score because lots of people have 270.72 but nobody has more than that

[shrewd apex]

That we know of… yet lol

[old lion]

That’s what I was trying to say earlier

[shrewd apex]

Here’s my 340 scoring fallow

[untold coyote]

Yeah that's fair. You'd know the minimum threshold for a species to make diamond at least. Before I had the app, and before I was in here I just had to hope and pray. That information should be in the game.

[rapid coyote]

THATS THE POINT

YOU CANT TELL A MAX SCORE

there is no defined max

[shrewd apex]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING

[rapid coyote]

For antlered species

[untold coyote]

I'm not going to remember the minimum diamond threshold for every species

[rapid coyote]

For predators is another thing

Since they are scored differently

[cobalt spear]

You can go farther and see the decimals past the hundredth place in the multimount maker screen

[shrewd apex]

Totally agreed. They have that info too- I wonder if the reason they don’t add it is to keep the surprise for folks

[regal mauve]

good luck stoney even im done and im not part of the convo 😭

[rapid coyote]

You are just cooked bru

Idk why you need to see a max score

[shrewd apex]

Yeah I’m sitting here waiting for my ish to download so I can hang with da beef lol

[rapid coyote]

Bc I can spawn a big rack that score 650

Never seen before

[untold coyote]

Is the diamond threshold even listed anywhere but in the harvest screen?

[rapid coyote]

But it can generate maybe

[cobalt spear]

nope

[old lion]

But we have 0 reasoning to believe that there are bigger😭

[shrewd apex]

Because I want to? It’s not that big of a deal lol

No need to yell and get all weird with it lol

[rapid coyote]

I mean what’s the point lmao

Zero point

[untold coyote]

Nah I agree, that information should be in the game

[shrewd apex]

I was making a joke lmfao

[rapid coyote]

How can they determine it tho
