anyones /borderless startup option just not work?
you can try the -borderless startup command in steam game settings
you should google the proper command though, im not sure if -borderless is correct
i did google it and it came up with /borderless being what to use, despite me using -borderless on other steam games
tested both and neither working š¦
Ok thanks! Finally got a rare fur type, even though I messed it up cause I got attacked by two wolves ;-;
Question where can I find a Springbok in Vuxa for this damn mission?
hey,i need some help
so i cannot acces trophy manager,whenever i'm in the lodge and press escape its just not there,only the trophy lodge,any suggestions?
whats the best map to hunt on as a begiener
I'd say start on Layton since it actually gives you a taste of the game and when you feel more confident hunt on Revontuli or Vurhonga. But these are my personal recommendations, I have no idea if these are the officials beginner friendly ones
Go on Hirshfelden and use the firing range a couple of times.
This map is also very beginner friendly because it has Roe Deer, arguably the dumbest animal in the game (not counting brain dead glitch wolves or aggro moose).
+Stay TF away from Mississippi acres.
Why when i teleport from tents it make alot of noise?
It doesnāt effect the animals
But they run everytime i teleport
I teleport from tent to tent on taiga
I have tents on all lakes
If they are rendered in before traveling to a tent within 200 then theyāll run but thatās because of you not the tent
I have to get more far than 200?
Yes
Your welcome
Why im making so much noise on missisipi
Mississippi is very brushy so youāre almost always making noise running through brush
best way to get money?
Red deer GO grind
But when im just walking its 3 red lines
Idk then. It could be a visual bug
What is fastes way to get exp
Srp plains imo
waterfowl on revontouli coast
Kill all the things and learn to use a bow
Keeps hunting pressure low, and you get pretty good with precision and patience
Predators. Especially lions cuz they have the fleeing bug
Why bow?
Bows make minimal hunting pressure and are near silent, so less disturbance and you can harvest more animals before having to move on
Also you learn to be patient with the animal to get a good shot, else you mess up. Also spring for the tracking arrows- it's worth it if you don't land a kill shot and end up searching in low light. Helps to see that red glow
Moose GO š
Oh nicee
The spook range is now 300 meters, the new moose great one, New England kinda sucks, animals flee faster
Older reserves got backfilled with new animals, like capercaillie and wolves on Medved for example
You can also go wolf hunting, I don't even search for them on Medved - they show up and try to gank me, and I just constantly carry the big pistol and shoot them at will.
Damnn nice, dont like the spook range thoā¦
800 is the lowest payout I've seen, and 1400 is best so far on gray wolves.
Just gotta be much sneakier
shit, my playstyle is literally just running arround
Nobody does besides the realism hunters who want life to be difficult for everyone cuz itās more immersive
bruh
Bows are much more viable now tho
they could have made it an option then
Wouldnāt make sense. Worst part is that they never announced it or anything, they tried to slip a lot of things under our nose this update
Just asking if its normal I get attacked so much by wolves on Cuatro colinas. I just walk around and I start to hear growlings next to me
Thatās normal
Ok thanks
do zones come back after u kill them
They move
how far
Anywhere in their home range
and do they go back
They donāt come back unless their current zone gets deleted but even then thereās no guarantee theyāll go where you want
so a drink zone will just go to a different river or lake
If deleted, yes
ok
What to do when i entered game and i dont have my save i had
I have nothing
Starter gun
1 lvl
And i had like 21 lvl and almost all rifles
Loss-of-progression bug. It's a known extremely rare bug. And by extremely rare, I mean not even the devs know what makes it happen (yet)
How i fix?
Unless you kept a manual backup, there's nothing you can do.
Make a copy of the highlighted folder and paste it somewhere you'll remember elsewhere on the PC.
So bassicaly i lost everythiing??
Unfortunately.
Devs cant bring back stuff?
No.
essentially, your computer ate your save.
There's nothing they can do about it
Bro š
which is why keeping a manual backup is a good idea
just in case it ever happens again
I've been under a rock too. Spook range of what is 300 meters? š
Rifle shots.
oh ok thats fair. so I guess thn that a rifle shot sets their mental state from calm, all the way up to GTFO mode.
P much. Shortest return time I have witnessed is shooting the .22LR about 200m from several herd of deer on a lake at a duck in NEM and the deer returned fairly quickly (a minute?) with alert and nervous settings, and full GTFO when I fired at another deer with my M1
Probably me traipsing about the lake took 5 mins and I got some warning snorts and blowing from the herd
I play on ps4 and whenever I harvest animals with longer fur like the feral goats or even the new red fox the fur isnāt there. I can kinda see it but not fully, it glitches out almost. Is it normal?
What is the GO spawn percent?
1 out of something%
Also, sorry I had no idea lol. I'll remember this now though!
When is mosse drinking time?
12-16 across all maps that have moose
Thx
I canāt find my last few drink zones for whitetail on revontuli any suggestions?
What is the best reserve for grinding levels?
Im 600-700 kills into the GO moose and strarting to see a decrease of moose? Is that a good thing?
Or should i hunt for something else and the go back to it?
Not really as youāll be getting less males per run
My solution to it was to shoot a number of the females around the map
Its okay most of my zones are 2 and low 3s now
The males would almost always come back after that
Arl
Keep in mind that HM has no effect on GOs, so if thatās your end goal then just shoot any male you see
Ahaaa i see
So, until the devs actually tell us how respawns work and how HM affects it, then weāll never know if it does
Well anyways ill keep you updated if i get my GO moose and the fur type i want:))
Okay
What are you hoping it is?
White and pink?
hey i recently got a pc and i used to play on ps4 ands had tons of progress. Is there a way to have all my data and progress from my ps4v cotw on to my pc?
unfortunately no
so i have to restart completely?
yeah
Tbf itās a thing you should check before you do, well, that
how do i do it then
What you did just now
Asking
Always check to see if cross save is a thing before switching from console to PC
is it a thing
Can be as simple as a google search or asking in a discord
Not for COTW
oh
blank just answered you
than why are u saying i should check if i already did
ohhh
Is it possible to call in waterfowl. without placing their decoys
It is. Just harder without the decoys
Thatās what Iām finding out the hard way lol thanks
So I'm doing the taiga nenet reindeer mission where you have to get a picture of the nenet reindeer, I found them but they got spooked by wolves before I could get the picture and now I can't find them. They refuse to return to the area I guess. Although I haven't seen the wolves since (they are howling sometimes though) Any ideas on how to find them again? I have left the game and came back a few times and changed time but no luck.
What is max score for grizzlys?
On which maps i can find red deers?
Hirsch, cuatro, te awaroa and revontuli (I think)
I dont think they on Revantoulli
Really? I could've sworn they were
Aw crap yeah I was thinking of whitetail deer for a sec
i dont have cuatro or te awaroa neither
lmao
Want to hunt together once youre free?
Ah, nah I only really hunt on singleplayer
ah mkay
You can play those maps on multiplayer btw
Yes, only whitetail on Finland, no red deer,
although it would have made sense to see red deer there since it's in Europe.
Red deer GO has the smaller rack and then the big rack right? So, is the big rack rarer than the smaller one or is like a 50/50 thing?
When is red deer drinking time and what is lowest/highest red deer rating
Anyone have a tip on how to fix current respawn. Going on 3 hours with no new spawns.
Im trying to do the medved missions and there is nothing on my huntermate and no mission log button in my pause menu. What am i doing worng
Wrong
Do you have missions disabled?
Go to the settings via the menu, system
Found it, it was off. What a dumbass lmao thank you
No problem lmao
Anyone know why my weapon wheel isnāt changing ammo/sights
Depends.
Why i cant take screenshot in game? I cant do ctrl+shift+windows or prt screen neither
Not claiming kills doing a herds management great one grind doesnāt affect the respawn levels right?
Like a gun that does good damage
I used to play on pc and the begginer years of the game. But I just got aan Xbox and I see people talking about heard management. Could someone give me some quick pointers?
So Iāve been walking shorelines and Iāve shot ten gold moose in a row and keep finding more, anybody know of a Diamond will show up or possibly the great one? Just curious as to why Iāve been getting so many golds in a short amount of time

Wat the best district
Cloud district
District 9
Iād recommend watching YouTubers because they in depth explain it but basically what it is is you keep lower level animals to manipulate your spawns into spawning bigger. Dm me if you want me to explain it more

Should I never sprint?
What is the zz on the map Iām here during the need zone
Are wolves more likely to be aggressive during certain phases?
I think itās when you kinda pop out of nowhere on them or walk up on them when they arenāt paying attention thatās the experience Iāve had with them
I was hosting a multiplayer game on Medved tonight and the game froze and crashed on me, which it rarely does otherwise.
This made me think, should I be worried about hackers ddos-ing me, messing with my population etc. I am on console so I assume this is not an issue?
Also, Am I stupid/naive to host multiplayer sessions for randoms? and is there any kind of behavior I should look out for? (Like, are there certain people server hopping to get something from another players save?)
To my knowledge you canāt DDOS on COTWās multiplayer
And, with multiplayer comes a number of risks such as
- People taking diamonds/rares off your map
- People deleting your zones by building up too much pressure
- People intentionally trolling
Why did the mission for the shadow wolf just ended at the mission that says harvest a gold wolf?
Have you finished all the other main missions?
I'll probably never host for randoms unless it's a trophy Lodge there's virtually no beneficial effects that can outweigh the negative effects
The only positive ones are you have a chance to make a friend and you gain a few zones people has found
It's the weirdest thing, I had 5 or 6 randoms and got zero zones discovered by them. I was about to ask if that had been changed.
Anyways, Thanks for the advice. I think I'll stick to #š¦ļø“find-a-game If I need friends š
I'd love to hear more about the disadvantages of hosting if you want to elaborate š
Thereās really not much more to say that hasnāt already been said
You just run the risk of assholes messing with your map
Yeah what he said above mine is Them
If your on PC you run into the possibility of somebody missing up your population or your save
aight, thanks again š
Do any animals besides Cape buffalo and warthogs drink at the river boarding Vurhonga
Kudu only drink on it
Wdym capes and warthogs drink there also
No I mean kudu don't drink anywhere else but the river
Oh ok thanks
When you hear wolves howling around you, does it mean they are coming to attack you? Or is it just that they are going away?
Oh good
Being so used to getting attacked by wolves that I thought they were coming for me
i just got te awora could someone help me get outpost so i dont have to spend hours doing it?
Can a mallard hen be diamond
No
Only animals that make diamond as female are:
Gemsbok
Chamois
Scrub Hare
European Hare
Gray Fox
Iām starting my moose grind since I canāt cover every zone efficiently to prevent them moving more should I kill all males at zone or always leave 1?
I thank people said leave one
Just one?
Like for any zones that have mulitple males^
I honestly don't really know I've not hunted I'm just going off of what people said
I personally would shoot every male but that's me
And then find out what happens later on
Thanks, Iāll play around with it a little and ask some others
I'm trying to grind for Handgun score to unlock stuff, and I saw this "Herd management" thingy few times. What is that?
Do mountain lions still drink?
Basically you shoot animals level 5 and up and leave 4 or below or for something like whitetail you would leave the 1s and small 2s for moose you would leave the 2s and 1s basically what it does is it tries to balance out the population so by leaving smaller animals it forced the game to make bigger ones spawn and makes you get a ton of diamonds and increases your chances of getting a great one
Lv5 and up u mean the "Trivial, Minor, Very Easy, etcs"?
in that sense Medium and up right?
Yes for animals that max at the level 9 legendary for animals that max at 5medium such as moose you would leave the 2 minors and smaller and the trivials and for something like whitetail Wich max out at 3 very easy you would leave the 1 trivials
I see, and setting up Tripods help decreasing the hunting pressure 1:4 per kill? I heard grinding handgun score near Need zones like Drinking is best?
Yes tripods will decrease hunting preassure. And yes hunting the drink zones are the best way to grind.
alright, i'm gonna give this herd management thing a try. And 1 last thing, after hunting pressure get thick enough, i shud move to next drinking zone?
Basically you shoot the animals your going to at one zone and fast travel to all the rest then you reset the time and do it again
The hunting preassure shouldnt even be close to thick after you get done shooting at a zone
"shoot the animals your going to at one zone"
"fast travel to all the rest"
What? so I "stack" them by pushing them towards the zone I want cuz of AI Pathing? and wdym fast travel to all the rest?
What you wanna do on a grind is set a tent up about 275 meters away from your zone and you wanna do this at as many zones as you can and set a tripod up at the lake for you to shoot because then you can kill a ton of animals in a short amount of time because you can fast travel to the tents go to the tripod and shoot
I'll give it a try, thx
Yep
Why i cant take screenshot in game? I cant do ctrl+shift+windows or prt screen neither
Where do you guys aim to do heart shots? I can't seem to figure out where to put my shot
Doing white wolf mission any tips
And id be thankfull to get an answer before i get there
Depends on the species, but a generally good tip is to study their anatomy in the harvest screen.
I'd point out that the heart moves with the animations of the animals, like on pronghorn it's easier to get a broadside heart shot when the head is down (eating/drinking) because it pushes the heart back behind the front leg.
In most cases I'd be careful going for a heart shot from the front, especially with default guns since the penetration is very low in this game.
Someone better answer
Alright thanks!
Erm, so my pc crashed while I was playing the game and Hud changed for some reason? The money and the skill points are not at the same place at the top. Is it normal?
And I lost all my outposts I found? Same as my needzones help
your progression must have winded backwards i assume
that occurs when you arent connected to apex connect
the second part is likely some sort of loss-of-progression bug
So.. All my time on cuatro since I bought is lost?
not 100% sure, but it's possible
it may simply be that the cuatro progression was lost, but i dont wanna make assumptions

Which rifle should i use??
for what animal?
Are you new to the game ?
I mostly hunt red deers and mooses
a little thing to note here:
every rifle is rated for a different range of animals, determined by the class system
I usualy shoot at range of 150 meters ish
more specifically the ammo determines the rating, but only like one or two rifles have ammo that's rated for different classes
I still dont know which rifle to use!
for instance, the starting .243 is rated for class 2-6, which is roughly red fox to red deer in size (it will struggle on the upper end of that range)
im trying to explain some things, okay?
Mkay
alright now where was i
Rifles
okay, so, moose are class 8, red deer are class 6. you'll need to pick a rifle that will cover those classes
7mmš«š«š«š«
Magnum suck...
Ahh just use this rifle ZARZA-10 .308 does me good at that range
the 7mm is actually a very versatile weapon
Bruh
It has a range of classes 4-9
Inacurate though
Whitetail all the way to buffalo and bison
accuracy is actually only a measure of scope wobble
Iāve hit shots at 380+ m
Yeah but if you know how to use it then you should be good
btw, almost every rifle can shoot effectively well beyond 300 meters
Yes
Yes
Like he said
Scope wobble
I thouh about using rangemaster or however its called for 60k
Itās really nothing once you get used to it
Though*
rangemaster is too powerful for most animals. however, it is more than adequate for bears, moose, elk, bison, etc
Yeah it does have a lot of scope wobble but if you know how to use it go for it. Iām pretty good at using it so yeah. Everyone has their own preferences tbh you just gotta go with what youāre used to
Or comfortable with
So for moose grinding it should be good?
every rifle has a lower and an upper limit to the classes it can take and still obtain the highest possible trophy
the only downside is that it is single-shot, but that one shot will do a number on a moose
for red deer though, you need something less powerful
I heard people talking about this gun but i cant find it in shop
4 round magazine
If ya need the follow up shot
It comes with Yukon valley
Itās on the Yukon DLC
Ah
And once ya get the map the gun shows up but you need to get a ton of rifle score (6000 if I remember correctly) and $75000 in-game cash
So you gotta grind for the gun first
I can afford it rn then
Can you send me screen shot of ammo and gun stats??
I would really apprecite that
Bet
You can google it I think thereās a website for it.
I am in class rn so this may be a bit
That too
What I want to know is how can I find a diamond animal Iāve been searching for days and havenāt spotted a single one š„²
sure
grind on taiga lake
mooses
what is this gun?
ive been trying to clip it for last 10 min lol
i saw people hunting with it on mooses and red deers in same time
also its powerfull
#š¢ļø“creator-videos someone from here
crows 300? Its a gun yes?
Thatās the .300 magnum
No the gun is the 300
It just looks like scarecrows one that he's using because of the paint job
Yukon valey dlc yes?
Yeah
Yes
: /
Can you send me ss of gun and ammo stats please?
Is the .223 docent a good rifle?
No
Well for a beginner?
243 is miles better
What is the best non DLC rifle?
no. 243 does everything it does but better
define "best"
just for clarity, there is no "best" rifle since all of them cover different ranges of animal size
one good setup that covers almost all animals reasonably well is .243 + 7mm
you will, however, need a shotgun loaded with birdshot if you want to cover the class 1 animals (rabbits, birds, and the like)
Ok, sorry for asking so much questions today (My game is weird). So, after my game crashing, I was walking around and found the rest of a wolf pack but I tried to do heart shots (failed obviously) but the thing was that the wolves did not move, even the ones I did not attack. They were only growling. It also occured to a herd of deers plus a wild boar where I shot one of them and even if they were nervous or said fleeing, they didnt move. Is it normal? Another herd behind fled though. I tried to do heart shots on some of them but not all of them. Heres some screens
Multiplayer?
Solo
K. It did not happen again though, I was just curious since I could wipe out the entire herd without having one running away
Should I be taking out blacktail with my 243 or my 270
I have polymer with the 243 and soft tipped with the 270
I want to ideally be shooting 2-3 animals per herd so being able to shoot fast helps
Any tips for hunting coyote in leviathan lake for the mission? I am here during drink time thinking coyote drink there and not seeing anything
What does the green arrow on ur minimap mean?
wind direction
Is shooting through the neck a good way to down deer?
If you can hit the spine in the neck it usually insta drops but that is hard to hit, much easier to go for at least a lung aiming just behind the front shoulder
Ok
I've hit quite a few lungs, but they usually run for a while before dying
I just insta killed a buck with a neck shot, and it seemed easier to hit than heartshot
yeah if you can double lung or get the heart they drop quicker
Might have just been luck though
I'm new, and I dont think I have anything that can double lung
I hit one earlier today in the neck, I just find it a harder target most of the time
and I'm guessing you are using the 243 then? I believe if you use the polymer tip ammo for it you can double lung
Yes, im using the 243 with polymer
If you want fast follow up shots, use the .308 or M1
I dont have either
Then unlock poly tips for the .270 whenever you can and use that over the .243
Ok
Im getting there
Im going for hyperion atm
Also, if I were to get 2-3 dlcs/reserves, which do you think I should get?
reserves you can play on multiplayer without needing to pay for them, for dlc I'd get the modern weapons pack for the 308, the tents dlc, and probably the pistol pack for the 243 cuomo
ok
Revontuli Coast, Te Awaroa and Vurhonga/SRP/Medved
any dlcs though?
Or are reserves more worth it
Ok
Yea weapon pack 1 for the 22
would the modern pack be better for the 308?
308 can be replaced by any 4 to 8 rifle
The 22 can't
It's the only class 1 rifle
Any 22 works but the orginial is best
ok
But if u want the 22 ar u can
alr, thx ill consider it
Virant 22 is š«
10 round magazine over the AR .22s 5
There are 2 different rifles and one pistol in .22LR
And one rifle in .22H which does class 1 and 2.
There all in 22 tho
Which is what I'm referring to
Has anyone else noticed Red Deer not caring that you fired your weapon on occasion?
This is about the third or 4th time where I took something down, started running toward it. Saw everything else running away, then hear a Red Deer coming in with a mating call. And unless he was bolting top speed, he had to be within that shot audio radius
What is the perk where you can see what animal it is where they are highlighted
22lr and 22h are very different.
also I think the AR15 .22LR has a higher rate of fire.
can anyone recommend me a rifle for big game and has good range?
im kinda new to the game
okay
where is the best place to duck hunt on layton or hirschfelden hunting reserve
not hirschfelden.
someone call me and help me get started figuring out this game please would be much appreiciated š
oh thanks
Whatās the best map to whitetail grind on
And Iām still kinda confused with hers management
Like what do I do with females
Leave them?
best map imo is revontuli since the lakes are in flat and open areas.
with HM, you target higher-level males and leave females be unless they're occupying a 1-animal need zone.
for an explanation on why you do this, the reason is:
- leaving behind only low-level males causes the game to balance out the average population level by spawning in higher level males. with whitetail, you leave alone level 1's and just shoot all level 2's.
- shooting single females in 1-animal need zones causes that female to respawn elsewhere on the map and likely taking place in a herd. having an open 1-animal need zone allows males to occupy it instead, which is what you want. otherwise, that zone is a waste of space and potential.
and FYI females do not respawn as males if you kill them. they will always spawn back as females
and here is a map of where zones will be on revontuli
keep in mind there will always be different need zone locations depending on the individual player, but this is a good and accurate guide to where you will be finding them
I know this was a few days ago, but I'm having the same issue. It looks terrible. Lately it flickers green while streaming COTW. It doesn't do that when I play other games. I do not understand.
yep still happens. no flickers but its just very laggy
I've tried everything I can think of. lol But no cure yet. Does it happen in other games or just cotw?
just cotw
wish i could help, i havent experienced any lag tyring to stream cotw yet
yeah, me too. I just don't get it. My computer isn't as good as yours, but with an i7-4590k, 1080ti, and 32gb, it should hold her own.
This is just streaming in Discord. I have a friend who hangs out in discord. We like to stream for the other to enjoy our gaming time, but mine is so laggy, it's hard for him to watch. :/
COTW is a very resource-intensive game for computers
I've never had an issue until the last few weeks. It's been perfect up until then.
nah i run it fine and can stream way harder to run games + stream them fine. its a cotw issue
And I've had this computer for a few years now. It's def cotw.
yep
once i find all my zones what do i do step by step for herd managing
im doing whitetail on revon
pls help im confused af
Asking in #š¦ļø“great-ones or YouTube might be your best bet for that
Is there official theHunter merch i can buy somewhere?
Can a max estimate 330 gem bok make diamond
On Silver Ridge, is this sound at night that is like a small screaming pterodactyl a real animal or is it just ambient?
There are for sure some weird bird noises on SRP (and other maps) that don't belong to anything you're allowed to shoot.
I remember before they added any birds at all to the game, on Layton, in the dark of night, there was a crazy bird "scream" that scared the bejezus outta' me š
Is it possible for animal tracks to stop?
I got hunting pressure, and Im following the trail, but it seems to just stop in a deer resting zone
I've been looking all over and I cant seem to find any more tracks or blood
no
I had a whitetail stop having tracks for like 130yrds before it died
Keep walking in a straight line from your last one and you may find it
try to go to another reserve then go back?
Hey, does anyone know what the maximum possible score for the eurasian wigeon is? I couldnĀ“t find anything in the wiki or in a app and since i just shot one with exactly 950 im kinda curious now š
you got a max!
950 is the highest score it can have
here's a really good sheet with a lot of useful info.
Nice, thanks man. Much appreciated
When entering a portable structure, is our sound "audible" to animals near by?
from my experience, it doesnt spook or alert nearby animals
unless you're running to the structure or are 100% visible and they are facing you
aka just not being sneaky
Fairly new to the game looking to expand out into some of the DLC reserves, what would be a good first one to buy?
SRP and Te Awaroa
whats a good lake for turkey hunting in silver ridge peaks
Ive been trying to decide between the two, which is better in your opinion?
Those 2 or yukon
Should I kill my level ones on my map for whitetail or just twos?
for herd managing and go grinding
Tbh I prefer Te Awaroa, I personally think it's better for money and I like the animals and environment more, but SRP has lots of animals and has bigger game. Te Awaroa also comes with a really good rifle tho so that's a big plus, and the storyline is one of the best imo. In the end it all comes down to what you're looking for tho.
Where do red deer drink in te awora
Ok, which map do you think has easier hunting?
I'm a beginner, and I would like to get some easier hunting first
Does anyone know how many Roosevelt Drink zones there are on Layton?
Should I kill my level ones on my map for whitetail or just twos?
for herd managing and go grinding
For HM just leave the ones, shoot the 2s & 3s
Are there any specific techniques to level up a weapon score faster? Or is it just kill as many animals as possible (preferably higher difficulty over lower) need to level up my shotgun score but should I be shooting a specific animal or just everything that's in the range for that weapon/ammo?
basically just kill anything that moves
Does the weapon being used being the correct one for that class of animal affect the weapon score you get from it? Or can I down some animals (less than ethically)
you can, but you'll get less weapon score for doing so
Ah okay, that makes sense
The general consensus for that is srp but I find Te Awaroa to have a really high concentration of animals around the lakes
So can some tell me why this is silver when it's above gold rating
Is it cause I missed a vital
Yes
Blah
Thank you
Yeah
Te Awaroa also has the 303 which is good
The best 4-8 I have rn is the 270
So it would be nice
I've still heard excellent things about srp though
Yeah Te Awaroa is one of my favorite maps so I might be a little biased š I also don't love the lakes in SRP but a lot of people swear by it. If all you've got is the .270 then Te Awaroa is a really good option but if you're willing to spend a bit more cash SRP with the modern rifles pack should work just as well if not better
Are golds rare
More like uncommon
Yeah I have seen way too many if they are considered GOLD
First alligator I found and shot was gold
CAN YOU HELP ME GET A DIMOND OR GOLD NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME
Caps lock is not likely to convince people to help get you a gold/diamond. Let's see what we can do to increase the odds for you.
I can help you, with advice.
What reserve do you hunt on?
oh ok then go to #š¦ļø“find-a-game š
Maybe I'll get the modern rifles pack and srp then
And I can get the awaroa later
Ty!
Is it good or bad?
My favorite bow*
- I prefer the performance of the recurve but the sound of the longbow is way better
- The medium arrows have a broadhead so thick it's hard to aim long distance with them.
[Hot take] I still think the medium broadheads obscure the view way too much
(Opinion)
I guessā¦ā¦.
Which map is the best for red deer
And what're some tips for hunting them
Cuz the racks on the golds and diamonds are beautiful and i wanna try to get one so like-
Te Awaroa
Hirschfeldenšš
In Te Awaroa, most northern lakes have red deer.
Hunt in the morning (learn their drink time) near those lakes, be sneaky, bring a decent gun. I find the 7mm ideal for them.
Me who cant afford the 7mm yet:
When you have the 10 ga slugs
Well you can use the .454 pistol also, the Sundberg is a marvel. Just gotta get within 60m or so. and get them in the lung.
Eh, I have the .270 so I think I'll be fine
That rifle is underpowered for red deer.
There are good and bad weapons at the various class levels. the .470 is the weakest 4-8. Even if you plug a red deer in the lung expect to follow the blood trail for -quite- a while.
You're better off with the Sundberg pistol, or even a bow with a heavy arrow.
Oh, and if you have Te Awaroa, the .303 that comes with the map is one of the better 4-8. Not quite as good as the 7m, but still a fine rifle.
Also try to keep the memes to a minimum in this channel, thank you. š
"underpowered" doesn't mean useless though.
There's nothing wrong with using the "weaker" weapons if you like them. You just have to track the animal for a bit longer.
Yes to everything
not me who killed a diamond bobcat with .223 soft points just cuz i could
Whatās wrong with Hirshfelden
Exactly
Nothings wrong with Hirsch.
Hirschfelden gets hated on by newer players for its lack of visibility around drink zones from all the reeds. Plus how itās generally harder to hunt on it
The more you play this game the more you realize Hirsch aināt a bad map at all
Hirsch is the map I learned to play the game on
mostly because Layton's terrain frustrated the heck out of me
Wtf, the 470 is the most powerful rifle in the game and only does class 9.
probably meant 270
Lads whats the best time to hunt black bears on silver ridge? Im hunting at the lake near Mule deer outpost but havent seen anything
How can I get diamond animals š„²
Iāve gotten plenty of gold animals but diamond isnāt one the list yet š
kill more things, explore the map more
why arent ducks coming when i am calling them?
Are you in multiplayer?
no
What are you trying to call in?
Do you have decoys down? Are you using the right caller?
harleyquinn drakes and ducks im using the duck caller
yes i have decoys
Where are you on the map? Also are you on the right map? I've seen some people think that there are ducks in maps where they aren't
The cheapest
Are you on the river?
Soft point or whatever the equivalent is for .22lr
Da hollow points
k thx
Are olive gators rare?
Common
Whatās max level for moose?
How can I find dead geese when I'm geese hunting
Especially if I shoot them with a .22
Pin the middle of the purple zone on the map or use a hunting dog
5/10 (great one)
Spot them right before you kill them and where you killed them at as long as they died right as you shot they will be on that marker on the map
Well shit I new 10 was great one so I thought 9 was diamond I shot him with the 10 mm
He was a 5
Yeah that's possible diamond
How many red deer drink zones on te awora
I think I've fixed it....for now at least. I just run Discord in administrator mode .
guess i can try this but i dont see why this would make the difference.. still weird but thanks for heads up ill let you know
No idea on my part either. I just thought I'd try it when my screen continued flickering green.
hi, how can i remove the marker when i spot an animal?
You mean the outline of the animal? And are you saying you don't want it at all?
is call of the wild crossplatform
sad
Indeed it is
How do you visit your trophy lodge
im on yukon valley
hi
I can't find turkey decoys the store ????
Do you have duck / geese decoys?
Are you at the river that's on the east side or one of the lakes in the map?
i have like 30-40
i tried one on tekken forest and one on murphys landing outpost
Harlequin ducks are only on the river
Also, animals stay away from outposts
oh ty
is blackgold a rare fur type for wild boar?
Yes.
is piebald rare for a mallard
Common, unfortunately
Melanistic is rare on everything
good to know
Mela is uncommon on mallards
It is a rare
I wonāt cite the exact percentage but itās comparable to whitetail rares
I rarely see mela mallards posted anywhere
It's rare, along with blonde/leucistic
Oh shit leucistic is male only?
it's the male equivalent of blonde on females, ye
Ahh gotcha
how to visit other ppls lodges
If theyāre in your friends list go to trophy lodges, and select friendās lodges
Otherwise itās in the multiplayer menu
can u send me ss of them in multiplayer cuz i cant find shit
When you scroll through the map list itāll show Saseka and Spring Creek
no i mean the orange marker that now appears when you mark an animal
this
I'm pretty sure they already fixed that so maybe update your game? Or try and bind it to a different key?
i'm playing with a controller...can't change button
Either going to the map and remove waypoint or press triangle or Y again
@silk pebble
ok
I was just randomly shooting mountain lions and got an albino at night š
Yeah I donāt have that.
how do you removed it?
Anyone know axis time?
Extremely odd question anyone know of any memory foam mattresses without fiberglass
Do you just keep killing males to.spawn higher males or am I missing something?
is xbox live compatible with steam?
no pc xbox live
I donāt think so
dang ill have to test bc it doesnt say on ggoglt
Are piebald malards rare bc ive killed 6 in less than 5 mins
no
What abt alligators bc i see those all the time
Theyāre a rare
Ok thx
Guess nobody knows... huh
How to do you figure out the trophy rating when you spot an animal
perk
it it a perk
or skill
it is ambusher skill
2nd one on top get it max
well tech first if u dont count the starting skill
Alright thanks
np
bro
please look at pc general chat
the moose was so close but it has bad trophy rating
Whatās the red deer drink time
Ok
Ok thanks
Yea ofc
If you have an iPhone Iād recommend this app
Ik Iām not supposed to put links so hereās the pic if you donāt trust it
You can search up the animal and see a full list about it including where to shoot, need times, spawn zones, trophy ratings etc
Ok thanks
Ofc
is hybrid brown rar on a goose
Common, actually
good to know
so with gredos ibex, since the females can hit lvl 2 , would i still shoot all males or does it not matter w this species
Females canāt respawn as males so it wouldnāt make sense to shoot them as part of a grind for a diamond
What's the highest a red fox female can go to? I saw a level 7 last night and I think that's the highest I've seen a female be. How high do they go?
They max at 8.
That's actually kind of unfortunate. Thanks
What is the hour of the mouflon drinking?
what is best map for mallards
18-21
I just spawned a great one moose!!!! Now should I kill it or not- in other words is the fur still gonna be glitched in the lodge?
has there been an update?
also, this glitch has been confirmed entirely different from the Whitetail Fur Fiasco. It's purely a display issue.
basically, the fur type is still saved as what it should be. it's just that something is causing it to display as something different in the lodge
So Iām good to kill it and eventually it will resolve? @hidden basin @tranquil tundra
yes
Do I need to find all my drink ones for lions to get respawns?
Whatās the perk or skill for trophy rating
Anyone got tips on good places in Yukon to find wolf's
Wolves*
Sorry wolf need zones*
You donāt NEED all your zones for any animal to respawn
Teekon forest (think itās teekon)
Hmmm mmk cause I keep seeing level 8 mythical I wanna get him but he never stops for a need zone
Best spots for iberian wolf on Cuarto?
Best spot for wolves on yukon?
i find that the top left corner is great for them
Are rocky mountain elk on srp?
prey aimals go upo to four right?
Most go to 5. Some, like ducks, rabbits, whitetail, and roe deer, go to 3
ah ok
i also cant seem to find any diamonds, any tips?
also i saw something taht said sprinting is ok, is this true?
What perk or skill does it take to see trophy ratings?
spotting knowledge level 3
Alright thanks
Only if you'd just shot something. Otherwise animals will hear you coming and spook before you even see them.
I do not see it
its a teir one
did you find it?
Nope
Are spirt brown bears rare?
Found it
ok good
Can someone send me their duck set ups on New England
Where do sika like to drink? I'm starting a grind for a albino but I'm having trouble finding zones
Left third of the map or so
Alright well then I guess I probably won't have to many issues with them moving since there isn't many lakes at all down there
What is the mountain lion drink time on srp?
Not 100% sure but I think it's 0:00 to 3:00
Just checked, it is
Yeah they have drink zones
Is gator aid mission broke? No tracks for the gator at the homes.
Actually had to Google the mission to make sure I wasn't going nuts.
Nevermind. Its broken.
Any idea how long fixes take?
(Already relogged and restarted game client etc)
Is there a ticket or somewhere to file this? I'd like to actually complete the map I paid for
Any good ways to find rare furs? I mostly seek for melanistic and albinos ones. Piebalds are always welcome
honestly just keep hunting, try and rotate through spawns and eventually one will come up. I like getting routes going during drink times to get the most harvests in the least amount of time š
Alright, Imma do that
what dlcs should i get if i already have yukon, srp, and tents
also what pack ahs the .22
pack 1 but get modern weapons
ok
What is max level for mountain goats??
Mountain Goat 5 Medium 145 KG
Hey does anyone know what the "platinum" bundle is? I won a giveaway but I cant find a platinum bundle anywhere online.
Hey, everyone. I booted up COTW after a fresh OS install and my cloud save files aren't working or my local backup. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
are you sure you put the backup in the right place?
Not 100%. The saves appear to be in a onedrive folder for some reason. When I edit that folder, Steam notices there is a difference between the cloud and local files.
Ok, strange, but let's see. The game uses this path for it's saves:
<your drive>:\Users<your user>\Documents\Avalanche Studios
in there are two folders, COTW and theHunter Call of the Wild.
Do you have these folders like that?
Yes
and you disabled steam cloud, put your backup there, started the game, and it's not the expected outcome?
Wait...I may have just fixed it after finding another backup. I can select 'continue' now.
sounds good
Why does my game stutter when I ads?
Any tips for finding and killing wolf packs on Yukon?
top left
Of the map?
Ok
i had the same question
Ok
and it worked
if i want to complete a mission that tells me to travel to a region and harvest certain animal there, do I have to be inside the region when I shoot? or when I harvest the animal? Or does the animal need to be inside the region when I shoot it?
ā¬ļø
okay thanks
I need help learning revontuli coast
Just someone to show me where animals usually feed and stuff
should i buy yukoon valey?
@last hemlock
?
can we play
which map
is the dog growling round the water ways on mississippi because there is gators in the water near me?
guys what weapon dlc should i get?
Buy a map instead.
If you like bird hunting, then go for Revontuli. I also like Cuatro colinas for the open clearings and the occasional wolf attacks. But that map is still relaxing
i need help finding goose spots
im trying open fields but no goose are comming to the decoys and my lure
i prefer hunting with large animals
ty for the advice
I love to hunt larger animals and Iād personally recommend Yukon valley although the river is large and so are most of the lakes. Medved is good if you want to hunt moose, brown bear and reindeer. NEM is alright for moose and good for whitetail imo but is a very beautiful map to explore. These are maps that I have bought for bigger game specifically.
Iām going to buy Te Awora sometime soon
SRP and Yukon have 5 animals with a class > 5. Medved, Vurhonga and Parque have 4
which one gives the 300? I'd take that one first
Yukon gives the 300
Yukon
Yea
Iād get Yukon for the 300, very good weapon for hunting bears, moose and bison
Also good for getting guaranteed kills on animals that you donāt want for managing hunting pressure
I loved the crossbow until I got the range finder bow thing from High-Tech Hunting pack. Does feel a bit like cheating though. With the crossbow you still have to now what you do
but it's much more easy than normal bows and has more range
i would guess it also does more dmg right?
higher piercing
penetration*
right?
I'd tend to say yes, but that's only feelscraft
is herd management worth it? because ive heard scarecrow is moving away from it but im not sure if its because its a bad strategy or if its for another reason
sounded like too many people were crying it would be exploiting the game mechanics. Which is pretty weird when you watch a guy teleporting and running around shooting stuff š¤·
its exploiting a mechanic so it is by definition an exploit. thus to alot of players the trophies are just exploited and then its like meh, who cares abuot your lodge anyway. i prefer the lodge with the odd diamond from someone who plays the game like a hunting sim. my opinion anyway
show me one content creator who does that.
ladylegend. scarecrow. last 2 streams thats the last ones i left.
Okay. I only watched, how to call it, "themed" videos from them, and they looked like run-and-gun with many cuts. Perhaps streams are better.
Buy Yukon and weapon pack 1. Yukon comes with the .300 rifle. The Crossbow is so OP I consider it cheating.

What does CashnipLeaf kill bobcats and lynx with? š¤
A mix of weapons
long range pls
For lynx I usually run the mosin, for bobcats Iāve been running the .243 with soft points
But, theyre the same class, no?
Yes, just that bobcats are even more fragile than lynx
Do you have thought on .223
.223 is a masochistās weapon
Btw .243 soft points will pretty reliably double lung a bobcat with a near-broadside shot
Hence why Iām using them
ngl. I don't have the mosin. I assume poly tip 243 is the way to go for Lynx then?
Yeah, thatāll do just fine
alright, thanks š
30-06 is very good for MOOSE I was almost 3 years old in the game and I had never used it that rifle is beautiful
.300 and .338 will do better on moose, but the .30-06 is perfectly serviceable on them
6.5 on moose šš
Ive only tried the 300 on moose but i doubt there is anything more effective?
.338 is about equal in effectiveness.
Thereās also the hand cannon that is the .454
what i9s the best map?
Depends. What animals do you like?
deer, moose
Look at each of the maps and decide which one best fits that
Really, any preference for a particular map is exactly that: preference
So do your research on the different maps
You can also try the maps out in multiplayer
fair
Then decide which one you like best
i may get the master hunter bundle
which map is best for mule deer hunting? and where on the map?
My personal pick is Parque Fernando
i dont have that map
Theyāre also on SRP and Rancho
Can level 4 mountain sheep be diamonds or only 5
338 is a little more better but it's only a single shot
what gun should you use to kill deer
Ok so are you talking about mountain goat or bighorn sheep?
Or chamois
Bighorn sheep I all ways mix there names
They do indeed make it at 4 my first diamond bighorn was a guaranteed 4
Oh so is 5 guaranteed or was you just lucky?
Funny enough same hunt on the same map my friend got a troll lvl 5
5 has a better chance of making it
But is not guaranteed they troll roughly normal is everything else
I was just a lucky one to get a really big level 4
@hidden basin š you remember that
i do
What kind of deer?
Whitetail, Blacktail, Mule deer, etc
any
Base game or do you have any DLCs?
.270 will get the job done on most of them.
.470š
I prefer the 7mm personally
I have decent reaction speed so im able to take down 2-3
anyone have a drink zone guide?
š
is level 4 canada goose diamond?
Potentially
5-medium @quick canyon
They can make it at 4 too
Why?
there was one right over me
and i dont have my .22
ay
i got it
only gold
on that note which lodge is better
what was its est?
it was flying away and i didnt think i would see it again
how long does it take for the wind to change directions
does anyone know the best map for white tail
It's all down to opinion but if you want a suggestion, Layton or nem
What is night time for missions? Ik its 7pm to 5am but i have mission to kill coyote at night, and i just kill him at 7am and he still count for mission. Or its just a bug?
Can anyone tell me if the small predator caller works on to raccoon dogs
It does yes, if I remember correctly.
Itās definitely not NEM
Itās between Revontuli, Rancho and Layton
Lol
regarding spook range: is it reduced for the three class 1 rifles (22lr, 22h)?
or full 270m?
The .22lr handgun, .22lr virant have a roughly 100-150m spook range
The air rifle spook range is about 50m
I'm sorry, but which one is the air rifle?
.45 cyclone
thank you very much! I have 0 knowledge of boomsticks
I do believe the .22H spooks more than the .22LR, but it might be placebo š¤
It does
.22H is louder than the .22LR, likely as a balancing for also being a Class 2 rifle
Yeah but is it as loud as the other rifles?
alr ty
Yes
What is the bighorn sheep drink time on SRP? Thanks
