Have you kept the weapon in hand when you go to collect the animals

[hasty forum]

i think i may have switched to my glass

[tribal ledge]

Try one more time with weapon in hand

[hasty forum]

gotcha thanks

[indigo thunder]

Does anyone have the fellow zones for Australia?

Fallow

[little belfry]

how do i disable my microphone in multiplayer on xbox

[plush folio]

Muting it idk what you mean by disabling it unless there is a setting

[little belfry]

so people wont hear me

[plush folio]

Yea jus mute your mic

[little belfry]

do i press something on my headset?

[plush folio]

That's all ik Maybe someone else knows a different way
You don't have a switch on your headset??

[little belfry]

I have this but idk if it’s doing anything

[plush folio]

Wha in the confusion is that headset

Ok so press it say hello if you get no response than it's most likely muted

[plucky rune]

Should I continue grinding for a diamond/rare willow ptarmigan for my albino racc dog or should i grind vurhonga for something?

[normal quail]

yall. whats the best whitetail map?

[tranquil tundra]

Comes down to personal preference.

[tacit sun]

How do you herd manage red deer again??

[shy sage]

U can do it any way u want, I’ve never done it but I’d leave lvl 1-5’s

[tranquil tundra]

Kill any males L5 and up.

[tacit sun]

just rememberd before you say something

wwhat about for great ones??

[shy sage]

Same goes

U don’t necessarily need strict herd management to the point of just killing/spawning very high lvls, that’s more for getting a super rare, for a great one u could probs get away with just gentle herd management just fine

[little belfry]

at what distance will an animal spook from you travelling to a tent

[shy sage]

I always thought it was 200m, that was always the case, not sure if it changed in the recent update or not

[dull ether]

my missions don't work, any help please?

[dull ether]

this mission, to be precise

I have found much more than just 3, and all of them from different bears, still does not do it

[neon galleon]

What's the best way to hunt eurorabbits?

[last hemlock]

Is this normal in Call of the wild

[hidden basin]

that is actually the highest level a female brown bear can be

you found a nice thing

[last hemlock]

How rare are they

[hidden basin]

decently rare

i say taxidermy it

[sharp latch]

I accidentally spooked the wonded raindeer on medved “the lost and found” mission how do i find him?

[hidden basin]

exit to menu and try again

[shy sage]

Can those lvl 6 females make gold?

[hidden basin]

tmk no

at least i havent seen it happen

[sharp latch]

I tried but i still dont see it

[hidden basin]

🤔

[sharp latch]

Is it still in the zone?

I see reindeer i just dont see any that have low hp

Like 75-50

[hidden basin]

if you exit to menu, it should reset the reindeer to its original spot

if not, i'd reach out to support. link is in #📜︴support

[sharp latch]

Ok ill try a couple more times

[static jay]

When should I start shouting my lvl 5 fallow I have stacked on my map trying to get a g1

[tranquil tundra]

Whenever you want. Stacking has been stated by Jaxy to work against HM btw.

[static jay]

So go kill all 6

[tame heart]

morning everyone! so havent played in a few months and got on and for some reason save file was corupted had to restart.. whats the fasted way to level now that they fixed the geese

[tranquil tundra]

Shoot everything that moves.

red deer are probably the best thing for money

[astral bay]

Is HP or FMJ better?

[tranquil tundra]

going to assume you mean hollow point and fullmetal jacket by that

[astral bay]

ye

[tranquil tundra]

it's highly situational.

[astral bay]

ah

[tranquil tundra]

softpoints are best at close-range (within 150 meters) whereas polymers are best at longer ranges

[astral bay]

ah ok

[wild crown]

Should I use the distressed fawn caller or the jackrabbit caller for lions

[tranquil tundra]

Either one works.

jackrabbit caller might also bring in a jackal though, so be sure you have a Class-2-ready weapon on you.

[severe ginkgo]

Is there a document with all the maps, animal information (diamond ratings weight etc.) and all the fur types?

[lone storm]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kTG69dqpeYEnmcWYBI_Ez_4Fd8jc44g5WOJ3I_bLPig/edit#gid=414347241

[severe ginkgo]

thanks

[astral bay]

BRUH how is it easier to hunt and kill bisons and literal grizzlys than it is to successfully kill a moose, any tips guys?

[tranquil tundra]

.300 or .338

moose are tanks.

and if you're within 150 meters and have a good broadside shot, try a softpoint bullet

[tame heart]

Do Fallow deer herd up in Female groups? i searched for all zones and found a zone that only has females no other herds are like that

[static jay]

One more question what does the super rare animals and very rare animals harvested mean

In the stats page

[tame heart]

Fur Color most clases have different colors ( if not all )

[stark spade]

after i complete a run on my whitetail grind, do i have to wait at all for respawns or can i just do another run

[frail zodiac]

Best to end the session first

[crimson reef]

the most respawn happens when you quit to menu and resume.

[last hemlock]

What do yall reccomend to be the easiest diamond to go for? Ive played cotw so much yet no diamond yet and I’m tryna get one

[desert rain]

Occasionally they will. I have a couple on my map that are female only. However I have some that have a buck linked to the group but for some reason he won’t show up until way later in the drink time (I’ve checked the drink zone tracks, he’s not a solo) so just check that herd in the last 10 minutes or so of the drink time to make sure your male ain’t delayed

[desert rain]

Not including birds, wildebeest and banteng. Both can make it at level 4, and as far as I’m aware both are guaranteed diamonds at level 5. I have 3 diamond banteng, 2 of which were level 4, and 6 diamond wildebeest, 5 of which were level 4. Ducks are supposed to make it a lot but I’ve had bad luck with them, and I’ve had really good luck with Western Capercaillie. Mostly because I killed one diamond and he respawned as a diamond two more times

[indigo thunder]

I had a glitch where it took all my tents from my grind

[west fern]

Kodiak bear

[frail zodiac]

Banteng

[frail zodiac]

Kodiak bear? You mean grizzly?

[west fern]

bro hasnt heard of the kodiak bear

[frail zodiac]

There isn’t a Kodiak bear in cotw when using English

[west fern]

its because i hunted all of them

[frail zodiac]

Whatever species you were referring to, they definitely aren’t the easiest diamond

[west turtle]

can anybody help me with a grind?

[tranquil tundra]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[plush folio]

How can I tell what's a respawn ??

[civic cedar]

Be serious. You're in #🦌︴help-and-tips

[chrome condor]

If its bigger than the previous ine

one*

[plush folio]

But like that doesn't make sense what if there's more than 5 animals in a place how am I suppose to know

[civic cedar]

It can lose a level too

[plush folio]

It can ?? That's dumb and makes no sense

If it was lvl 9 it makes sense

[chrome condor]

so there is no real way to tell just keep killing them until you get a diamond or something

if it goes to 5 mediums kill lv 3+ and if it goes to 9 kill lv 6+ ( i think, i may need to be corrected)

[plush folio]

For my moose grind I have killed 1s and 2s and I have gotten alot more 3s tbh

[wicked jasper]

respawns are random. (besides being same gender and species)

[plush folio]

How do I get more males than females bc I think I messed up my grind bc its alot of females

[wicked jasper]

have you main menued to get your respawns? im not a grinder btw

[plush folio]

Wdym main menued?

[chrome condor]

only 3s and above, it will increase ghe chances of super rares, rares, and great ones to spawn.

[chrome condor]

whats main menuing, im afraid im unfamiliar.

[plush folio]

So kill 3s and up?? The thing is I don't even got 1s and 2s in my grind areas 😭😭

[wicked jasper]

exiting to main menu and resuming, it will get you your respawns

[chrome condor]

ty

yeah dragon, just kill 3s and up, what map u grunding on

[plush folio]

Medved

[chrome condor]

i recomend going aroundhere and setting up tents

srry for the bad quality

best time 13:15

in my personal experience

[fierce wave]

That god sent of a big lake on the left is always good to

[tropic basin]

The big lake on the right is also good for meese

If thats what you are talking about now

[chrome condor]

oh ive been fallow grinding on Emerald csn someone recommended some amazing spots for them

[plush folio]

Thats where I'm doin thr grind

[chrome condor]

ive been grinding here

hmmmm, well i guess just keep killing the 3s

[plush folio]

I have 4 8 mythical water buffalo on my map

[chrome condor]

nice any diamond potentials

[plush folio]

Can 8s make diamond ??

2 golds so far the rest I can't find

[tropic basin]

You are propably more likely to get hit by a meteor than get an 8 diamond

But its possible for waters iirc

[plush folio]

That's fun 🤣😭

Iirc???

[tropic basin]

If i recall correctly

Or remember

[chrome condor]

theres a chance

[tropic basin]

Yeah there is

[chrome condor]

i have a lion on my map 8 mythical 47-50 im pretty sure its diamond

[tropic basin]

But dont count on it

[plush folio]

I mean 2 down and a few more chances to go

[tropic basin]

Propably gonna be like 47.XX

8s never make diamonds, i think there were only a few cases of it other than water buffalos

[chrome condor]

hmm well there is s chance

but its slim

[fiery parrot]

Any tips on getting diamonds? this game has teased me with three gold grey wolves back to back, all around 2 points off of diamond.

[hidden basin]

1. 2 points off diamond is actually a lot for a grey wolf
2. just kill more things if you want cool things to show up

[frail zodiac]

Or hunt unhunted populations/multiplayer

[misty swan]

i wouldn’t exactly recomment multiplayer, too many modded servers nowadays

i mean it’s cool that there are tons of diamonds but the thrill is lost that way

[unborn elk]

Lbi don't have to worry Abt that on ps4

[misty swan]

that’s a win for console players then

pc multi is filled with modded servers, i find it annoying when people spawn like 7-8 diamonds on a drinking zone

taking the fun out of the game 😦

[frail zodiac]

One of PlayStation’s few advantages

[plush folio]

Where tf did thr suggestion channel go 😭😭😭

[frail zodiac]

#1067511606373785730

Didn’t go anywhere

[plush folio]

Thxs apparently I had it covered

[woven helm]

It was a channel, turned into a forum

[misty swan]

just saw a suggestion there regarding a new map

got me all hyped and i hope we’ll get something rad soon

[plush folio]

There's like 2 suggestions that have very high likes hopefully it does get added

[misty swan]

the whiterime ridge one caught my attention the most

[plush folio]

Hopefully we get 2 maps but I think we will get only 1

But since this is one of the bigger updates I hope it's more than jus the map

[frail zodiac]

It definitely won’t be two maps in one update

[misty swan]

but still we can hope for a map 🥺

[frail zodiac]

We will get a map in December. Have ever since cotw released so it would take something massive to change that

June/July and December/January are the new maps

[woven helm]

I don't think a new map is a good idea.

Make a new game instead. Dino hunter.

[frail zodiac]

If they make a new game it’ll be a whole other dev team just like angler and classic

[misty swan]

in the past few days i’ve seen people asking for like a space map with aliens and such, and now a dino hunter simulator 😭

[frail zodiac]

EW has made a dinosaur hunting game in the past. The space people aren’t serious

[misty swan]

wait really?

they had a dino hunting one?

[woven helm]

I tell you one thing. A dino hunting sim would bring in a lot more cash for them than a arcade fishing game

[frail zodiac]

Uhuh. Hunter primal

[woven helm]

yup

[frail zodiac]

Now that I agree with

[misty swan]

never seen it before, i feel like i’ve been living under a rock 🥴

[woven helm]

But thehunter primal was just a sort of spinoff from classic I think

[frail zodiac]

It’s been shutdown recently I believe

And it was PC only

[misty swan]

just saw the thread regarding in the suggestion channel too

it’s wild

i feel stupid for not knowing it any sooner as i love dino games and such

[woven helm]

There is a demand for a semi realistic dino hunting experience, question is who will make the supply.

[misty swan]

i mean there is another game, the isle, but mostly focused on the dino versus dino element so far

and even as humans you can’t pretty much do anything

the development isn’t too fast either

[woven helm]

the isle is: you play as a dinosaur.

[chrome condor]

any tips for GO grinding on emerald coast any good locations?

[lucid jacinth]

could someone help me with placing my tents on medved for the moose grind?

[chrome condor]

I recommend any where around here

[lucid jacinth]

life saver

cause idk where to place them on the small river part

[chrome condor]

the really long river in the middle of the map is a great spot

[lucid jacinth]

yeah i got 23 zones there

[chrome condor]

so there is an out posts about here use these to go up and down the frozen rivers

srry for crappy quality

top right corner set up a tent anywhere and at the mouth of thr really lomg frozen rivers

[lucid jacinth]

yeah ive done that top bit and the lakes on the right of the map

but the middle river bit is just awkward

[chrome condor]

also the ponds nearly the first outlook tower are good

it shouldnt be it a supposed hot spot

you may need to start middle go down tp back to it and go up

devolope a routine and learn the times they show up

easiest way i do i

it

[lucid jacinth]

legend

ty

[chrome condor]

np

good luck and keep us updated on thr grind

[lucid jacinth]

will do

i only have 100 hrs in the game lol

[chrome condor]

Are you aware of herd management?

[lucid jacinth]

yeah but

i dont wanna

[chrome condor]

well i hate to say it

your gonna have too

if you wants super rares, rares, diamonds, and if your lucky a great one within 1k-3k kills

on average if you have 5k killls in a grind you can get hundreds of diamonds

its quite easy really

[lucid jacinth]

isnt it just like only kill the moose of level 3-5 unless the level 3s are ass

[chrome condor]

yes!

all 3s i belive

[lucid jacinth]

i saw a level 3 with a low estimate of 79 💀

[chrome condor]

every last 3,4,5 must be eradicated

dawg aint no way

wall of shame shit right there

[lucid jacinth]

im not fibbing

[lucid jacinth]

i got a bronze level 2

[chrome condor]

i think your moose have Down syndrome or something

[lucid jacinth]

syndrome down but the money up

[chrome condor]

yeah

well use herd management and kill 3s and above

you should get a diamond witning 150 kills if none of them are sped

within*

[lucid jacinth]

so i wanna leave the level 1,2 and really shitty 3s

[chrome condor]

yes

[lucid jacinth]

and that icreases rare stuff spawn rates?

[chrome condor]

If u have to kill the bad 3s just to get a respawn

yes, the males get replaced and get either progressively better or worse

theres s chsnce that they can respawn as a 2

[lucid jacinth]

mk

[chrome condor]

Well i gotta go to bed got an exam in the morning hope i helped

[lucid jacinth]

you sure did

gl on ur exam

Is there a max set amount of perks /skills you can get?

is there any way to change the display username for avalanche apex connect?

[hidden basin]

22 skills, 22 perks

[lethal oriole]

are there any decent guides out there for playing stealthily and hunting things such as fallow deer with a crossbow

[strange scarab]

Not sure about guides, but definitely doable. Gonna have to avoid running, and preferably move crouched most of the time. Making use of the caller for them also helps a lot with bow hunting

[cyan portal]

I was in a tripod, and fallow deer came by, that crossbow destroyed it

[hushed tulip]

is there a confirmed relase date on the Ambusher Pack!

[hidden basin]

they will announce it when there is one

Guys for MY moose grind shoot lvl 3s ??

[normal quail]

yall. whats the best shotgun for bird hunting?

[hot cape]

Anyone know how many moose drinking zones there are on Layton I’m thinking about starting a grind on there

[plush folio]

Medved is a better place for that

I'm doin one there rn

[hot cape]

Mainly doing it on Layton cause I heard there were less zones since I’m doing hm

[plush folio]

Ooh makes sense than

Gl than

[strange scarab]

Honestly, do it wherever you enjoy hunting most, that way you won't burn out on your grind. Only would suggest to stay away from NEM for grind as it's not setup to a fast playstyle

[bold badge]

Anyone have a drink zone map for whitetail on revontuli

[civic cedar]

yea shoot 3+

[chrome condor]

so can someone explain to me exactly what herd and how herd management works, also a summary on main menuing. Im not sure if i properly understand herd management

[hazy pumice]

where is the third target on Dont Fear Failure New England?

bumping into a lot of problems with the New England map

[still kindle]

Its further back, to the right. Run in that direction as it is easily missed, place a waypoint on it, then run back to the cricle

[outer plank]

does anyone know some good tips for finding drink zones cause i can't find like any on layton and im struggleing frfr

[still kindle]

Can you play MP

Cause there is pretty much only one way and that is exploring

Im free to help you for a couple of hours

But basically set it to the drink time of whatever you wanna hunt and run along water

DM me if you need help

[lethal oriole]

where is the best spot to hunt red deer on te awaroa

[alpine ether]

guys

why

why this happened to me

i also missed 2 piebald fox

i cant pass harvest check for only foxes

[copper kite]

Maybe too quick to shoot? At least I get a bit nervous when there is a max level animal in my sights. I tend to shoot a bit too fast and not waiting for the perfect moment.
I am trying to force myself to think that the animal will come back to the zone next drink/feed time and I will have another opportunity.

[barren night]

So I haven’t shot any doe’s from this herd and there’s one here?? Why

This just spawned there

And I literally got this 10 kills before it

[chrome condor]

they can spawn randomly piebald isnt that rare a

[barren night]

I just got another pie

😂

3 in 1 run basically

[barren night]

I’m not sure how many times I’m gonna say this but another pie

[candid moth]

Where are you finding all these pies

[charred obsidian]

Is it possible if u shoot out a zone that a new zone will spawn and merge whit a already exsisting zone?

[fierce wave]

Very possible

Normally it'll be around 150m of the original one

Depending if it's feed or drink or rest

[brittle vine]

Just wondering what is the best rifle for shooting both Class 2 and 3 animals at long ranges. I've just been using the Ranger .243 for those classes as the penetration has always been decent

[hazy pumice]

can i turn off FXAA AND TAA?

i'd like my frames back

do i need to do it in main menu

[plush folio]

Would snake hunting ever be possible?? In cotw

[hazy pumice]

other than the fact it'd be almost impossible to spot them in this game due to a lot of the overgrowth, i'd say it could be possible if they did an Everglades map

and for pythons you arent using the calibre of rifles present in game, mostly just air guns and bows, so they'd have to release a pack of weapons alongside it

[plush folio]

I wanted to suggest snake hunting but just wanted to see it was possible b4 possible

[plush folio]

I thought airguns was out

[hazy pumice]

no idea tbh im fairly new to all the dlc and the in-depth stuff of the game

only got 120 hours of gameplay and i think i was asleep for the majority of those hours

[plush folio]

Relatable

[strange scarab]

The new 22-250 covers that pretty well. 223 is also an option, but shot selection and placement will matter a lot more.

[tepid hawk]

Where do i find bison is heirshfleden

We already have a .410,so we are set for Rattlers.

And most people use .22’s for snakes so we are also good.

[ivory solar]

Anyone got a nice honeypot spot for canada geese? One of my fave animals would like to get some rares

[ivory solar]

In my experience ranger .243 is pretty goated , same with cuomo

[hallow plover]

@hallow plover @ivory solar
Hirschfelden, the cornfieds in south, get a tripod, place it near a field and the caller and every 5-10min. a group of 3-10 geese lands, look at the white ones they are brown-hybrid that's rare, in a group of 10 is 1 white. after a kill they fly away, call their and after 5min. a new group lands. happy harvesting

[copper kite]

You don't need to take the picture at the top. You just need to visit the top and then you can take the picture where ever you want to.

[hallow plover]

@copper kite
thks, I thought

[last hemlock]

Hey guys, I’m looking for some help on what DLC to purchase, I already owns few weapon packs and the tent pack but not sure what else is worth it/ brings a lot of fun 🙂

I also own the bloodhound already 🙂

[copper kite]

So, you got weapons and equipment set up. Then you probably should get new hunting reserves. 🙂

[last hemlock]

What sort of reserves are good? I’m unsure to what one to purchase and I’m getting very bored of the free ones

[copper kite]

Depends on what you like to hunt. Personal preference.
I think that Emerald Coast is fun, crocodiles, banteng and lots of different deer species.
If you like birds, then Revontuli Coast could be your thing.
For moose and wolves, Medved would be a wise choice.

[barren night]

Will somebody on ps5 be able to help me make sure I’m doing my fallow grind right plz

I’m return I will give you a level 5 on my map that has the diamond rack

In*

Also I’m getting really tempted to shot it so plz reply fast

[alpine ether]

what you guys think

will it make dia?

nope 1 point away from being dia

[arctic storm]

Really funny I got trolled by the SAME species, SAME map, with the SAME estimate and score XD

Tho mine was the dark brown fur type

[alpine ether]

ahah

just one point

[charred obsidian]

Can somebody help me whit knowledge about herd management i got some question

[brazen vale]

Hello, I have a question about Gryzzly on Youkon, I'm shooting at males to get the Gryzzly diamond, I have about 70 drink zones discovered and all the zones have only females left, I'm walking around the map and there are no new zones, it looks as if I don't have a single male, the map has been searched far and wide. I don't know what to do, anyone have any ideas?

[hidden basin]

You may need to search more of the map, or go back to areas you’ve previously visited

[charred obsidian]

So i am hunting for fallow deer i want to do some herd management and the solos zones i got are mostly level 4 so if u kill other fallows most of them respawn as a lower level what should i do shoot the solos or just keep hunting?

[brazen vale]

When you shoot a single male, the zone will disappear and it will spawn somewhere else and you will have to look for where

[charred obsidian]

Okay thank you

[hazy pumice]

does anyone know how to turn off the fxaa and taa graphics settings on series x

i'd rather suffer image quality over frame drops

[brazen vale]

In a zone you have to shoot the male and the female, if you shoot only the male, the female blocks the male's respawn. I shot the female in 10 zones. It automatically spawned a new pair of male and female in these zones.

[plush folio]

Is bellowing for crocs in this game ??

[hazy pumice]

no idea the way me n my friend got them to come out was disturb the water until they come snappin

[tranquil tundra]

There are no crocodile callers, if that's what you mean by that

[hazy pumice]

out of layton and new england what's best for whitetail? im slowly saving up to have all reserves but i'd quite like a nice diamond whitey

[plush folio]

No I mean like thr noise they make

[hazy pumice]

even im not clear on what you mean

like yes im sure they have calls but theres no callers to bring them in

[plush folio]

Yea I mean like the calls they make

[somber swallow]

WHEN IS A DISCOUNT?

ON STEAM

[plush folio]

December probably

[somber swallow]

70% ? like last summer?

[plush folio]

Yea most likely

[somber swallow]

yay idont need to pay 20$ for a dlc

[plush folio]

No dlc is ever 20$ I don't think

The highest is like 7

[somber swallow]

my ip is turkey and the dlc is 85 lira for our avrege salary its like 20$

[plush folio]

Wow

Inflation is ass 😭😭

[somber swallow]

AND you know what is the fun part is?

the raise up the price like 500%

[plush folio]

Damn

I'm from Lebanon and our prices are so garbage

[ivory solar]

Best area to hunt raccoon dogs??

[hidden basin]

they exclusively exist in the southern like 1/3 of the map

so that area is your best bet

[ocean bane]

Yeah,just run around the southern area.

[brave bolt]

Guys I have some news

[ocean bane]

Is it off topic???

[brave bolt]

No it’s of the hunter

So my friend and I where hunting a pack of wolves and it was his turn to get a special wolf fur and he got melanistic

[hidden basin]

#731056417808711695 btw

[brave bolt]

Ik but if you also want to hunt wolves at night on medved is a good map

For them

[somber swallow]

WAIT DOGS?

[tranquil tundra]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Nyctereutes.png/800px-Nyctereutes.png

Raccoon dog. Not actual dog.

[civic cedar]

Not to be confused with raccoon dog (breed) (dogs bred and trained to hunt raccoons)

[cyan abyss]

As I understand it the new pack being released sometime in October will have an electronic caller that will call alligators on Mississippi.

[ivory solar]

Anyone got a good loadout for hunting revontuli?? Main target is raccoon dogs

[tranquil tundra]

The e-caller will work for the alligators, yes. But not the saltwater crocodile.

[cyan abyss]

That is my understanding as well. Maybe in the future though 😀

[desert rain]

7mm, 243 and 22 is my “all class” load out. Light enough to still carry a tent, binos, and callers

[tranquil tundra]

And the reply that you pinged me on was directed to someone asking specifically about the crocodile.

[ivory solar]

Right on thanks for fast reply 🙂

Is there any gun that would be say "perfect" for raccoon dogs i could bring instead of a tent

[desert rain]

No problem. You could also swap the 243 out for the 223 if you want, as that is my personal favorite for targeting raccoon dog specifically

[ivory solar]

Right on thanks again

I have a nice customized .223 i used for coyes

[chrome condor]

what maps are best for red deer, moose snd whitetail go grinding

Is there a guide on which skills and perks to open first?

[cerulean lily]

It's up to what you prefer, but I think Te Awaroa is best for Red Deer, Rev or medved is best for Moose and Rev or Rancho for WT, not 100% sure though

[frail zodiac]

Te awaroa, revontuli/medved, revontuli

[civic cedar]

Will E. caller work on bison and buffalo?

[hazy pumice]

i hope so, for now as far as im aware you can use the red deer caller on the offchance a bison comes to it

[frail zodiac]

No

[civic cedar]

Te Awaora for red deer, Medved Taiga for moose, Rancho for whitetail

[silver cove]

are these tracks not valid for the hope mission?

[tranquil tundra]

considering those are moose tracks, and the Hope missions primarily revolve around blacktail deer (or black bears, depending), probably not.

[hasty forum]

i think its
human / blacktail / bear for the first 3 missions

after that i forget

[silver cove]

ah ok ty

[eager arch]

If i am herd managing what am I killing out of my hunting zones and my exterior zones doing this for whitetail

[hasty forum]

my missions involving hunting structures still arent being completed, made sure to not switch my weapon and instantly dropped them 20 metres from the structure

[last glade]

Quick question: my dad is still grinding for red deer on te awaroa and what he's been doing is hunting red deer from 6-10 and then fallow immediately after from 10-13. We are wondering if he should focus on just one or the other, or if grinding both at the same time a viable strategy?

[somber vessel]

It’s better to focus specifically on one species per map imo

You can dedicate all your available resources to maximize efficiency on one species rather than try to distribute it between two grinds

[ebon path]

what's the difference between Helios 4-8x32 rifle scope and hyperion 4-8x32 rifle scope?

[formal holly]

pretty sure the helios can clip onto a couple guns, while hyperion is for most other rifles

you can click the compatible items button to see what goes with what

[ebon path]

so them are the same thing using in gun?

[formal holly]

i think yes, but i’d get the hyperion just cuz its what most rifles use

i think there’s only one or two that use helios

[ebon path]

yea i know i just was wondering why its 2x more than hyperion

[formal holly]

it is?

i thought they were both 4-8 zoom

[ebon path]

i mean in money

[formal holly]

ohh

yeah i have no idea

[ebon path]

same ahah

[chrome condor]

Ty ill get those maps

[hasty forum]

the actual difference is supposed to be a
side-mounted gun for guns like lever actions
and a rail mounted gun
but cotw doesnt follow that correctly so one of the lever-actions that has a rail mount for scopes also uses is

[hasty forum]

is there anyway to force complete bugged missions

or am i softlocked

[frail swift]

Anyone got tips on which skills i should get with 11 points?

[bold badge]

Aye so I’ve ran my whole map on rev for whitetail so far only found 43 zones was wondering if anyone would be willing to look at my map to see where I should look for the remaining zones before I start my grind

[fierce wave]

Check all these like 10 times each coming from different directions each time

[bold badge]

I miss fallow grind set up it’s so many compared to it but thanks I’ll try this

[fierce wave]

Yup

Fallow on ta is the easiest grind of them all

[bold badge]

I did red deer before that but that one still doesn’t have to many lakes to check

[jaunty tulip]

Is there bullet drop in this game i would asume so but i xant figure ìt out if there is and if so how much it drops i just started this game

[shy sage]

Yes there is bullet drop

[jaunty tulip]

Ok then i just gotta figurè it out then cuase from 35 m i missed lol

[shy sage]

If u go on Hirschfelden

At the bottom right of the map where u start

There is a shooting nb range to practice

[jaunty tulip]

Im on the lake

[hidden basin]

(you can switch between maps at any time and it wont affect your progress on the other maps)

[jaunty tulip]

Oh cool

Thanks

[hasty forum]

does anyone have any idea how i can force complete missions or fix the softlock with these hunting structure missions
none of them i've tried have completed and i've reset my save, tried without swapping weapons, dropped animals within 20 metres of the structures, tried both stands and conceled structures

[wet plume]

No uses either man but I'm wondering the same thing

[charred obsidian]

Is only does zones still a thing?

[severe ginkgo]

How do I get the blind that has like no roof and you can just walk in it?

[frail zodiac]

That comes with the duck and cover dlc

[severe ginkgo]

I have that dlc but I don’t have the like half ground blind or smth

[frail zodiac]

If you own the dlc you have access to them

[severe ginkgo]

dm's cause I only have the one u put in the water

[hazy pumice]

glitch on Rancho, i cant claim this outpost? i clicked X on it when it asked me to but didnt do anything

nevermind. just had to back in and out of the game

[severe ginkgo]

nvm I thought I bought it but apparently I didnt

[sturdy flicker]

Hello I just starting to download the game and never played the game before and I would like some tips and tricks for anyone to give me

[frail zodiac]

Go watch a beginner’s guide

[civic cedar]

@twin spruce pick your poison

[desert rain]

I have some from maps I started this year before emerald coast update

[desert rain]

Hunt near water. Don’t hunt hirschfeldin as a beginner. Would recommend getting on a multiplayer server and hunting Te Awaroa to learn the game

[frail zodiac]

I suggest Srp, animals are everywhere and it’s very open

[desert rain]

Only problem with SRP is starting rifle is 243 so they can use it on everything in TA but not SRP. That being said SRP is covered in game

[frail zodiac]

You get the 270 immediately too. Just gotta get it from the storage

[desert rain]

Well I’ll be damned

[frail swift]

Any tips to hunting crocodiles? Feels like i always scare them or just dont see them

[hazy pumice]

best place for bean goose in revontuli?

[plush folio]

Are you in ec?? If so go to the beach side aim for the neck or behind the arm or pen thru the arm

[frail swift]

Whats ec?

[hazy pumice]

emerald coast

[plush folio]

^

[plush folio]

Or when they open there mouth you can pen thru or they will pick there head up a bit when opening there mouth you can sneak it in a lung

[frail swift]

oh no im on mississippi

[hazy pumice]

usually i just disturb the water until one comes for me

[frail swift]

they just flee when ive done that and never surface

[hazy pumice]

weird i only play it online cos iv not got mississippi so dont know much about huntin em

check ur codex for clues

[frail swift]

Also i didnt know emerald coast had crocodiles 🤔

[plush folio]

Mississippi sorry I got none for you it's way to bushy

[plush folio]

Yup

Mississippi is salt water and ec isn't i think

[frail swift]

is EC better then mississippi though?

It looks more open

[plush folio]

It is

There is a beach side and they all spawn there and a swamp area they are all jud there and can't spawn anywhere else so I would say hunting pressure don't matter I could be wrong tho

[desert rain]

Mississippi has gators and they are slightly less aggressive than the crocs and harder to hunt because of the brush. The southwest corner of the map going along the river is the best spot. Emerald coast has saltwater crocodiles and they are bigger and all over the eastern coast. Almost every female and low level male will charge you

[frail swift]

thats kinda good, i like just running around and shooting

[plush folio]

Africa and austrila is a map for u than

And Yukon

[frail swift]

Yukon is one of my favs

This is one of the spots i always loose the gators in

[hazy pumice]

you cant move on Vurhonga for animals

[frail swift]

You can

[hazy pumice]

its an exaggeration

as in its teeming with animals

[frail swift]

Ive ran plenty and gotten plenty of kills on vurhonga

[hazy pumice]

yes that is what im literally saying

"you cant move for such and such" means theres so many animals you cant move as they're always blocking your path, an exaggeration lol

[plush folio]

Beautiful

[frail swift]

ah great, i scared them down in the water again

[plush folio]

You can shoot them before they go down

[frail swift]

They got to the water before i could shoot, only top part of them shown so they wouldnt die

[plush folio]

I mean they can be shot in the water

Jus not underwater

[frail swift]

yeah but only top part of them was shown and that would barly make them bleed

[plush folio]

True

[pine stump]

when will come the next sale for dlc on epic Games ?

[desert rain]

Next DLC is October. Next sale will probably be a holiday if I had to guess

[pine stump]

okay ty

[frail swift]

Can i somehow check a list of what animals ive claimed in my session?

[plush folio]

"Harvest history"

What happens if a animal goes unclaimed

[frail swift]

where is that

oh nvm i found it, ty

[plush folio]

Nvm

oops I meant np

[hazy pumice]

i second this, sometimes i lose the trail and would like to know what happens

[tranquil tundra]

if the animal dies, it'll despawn when either you change maps, go to a lodge, or close the game/go back to the menu.

if not, it's like a reset button. Note: some consider this an exploit, which tbh it kinda is.

[lucid jacinth]

all my tents on medved just f-ing disappeared

i had like 13 setup and they're all gone

this game

[echo grail]

i ate them

[lucid jacinth]

hah so funny 😐

[echo grail]

what is best map to play ?

[lucid jacinth]

there isnt one

personal preference

[echo grail]

oh

idk on what map i should play

[lucid jacinth]

emerald coast

[echo grail]

ok

there is crocs?

[lucid jacinth]

mhm

[echo grail]

wanna play?

[echo grail]

where are crocs on emerald coast?

[last hemlock]

On the East Side Coast the complete Coast is a all of it full with Crocs sorry for my english

[echo grail]

thx

np

[fluid birch]

I got a queat ot harvest 2 coyotes, they seem to aleays know where i am from 90meters

And any ideas on how to lcl up fast

[sturdy flicker]

just wondering i have 11$ and wondering what weapon pack

[little bane]

if you don't the power pack buy that if u do have that, buy modern rifle ig

it has the 308.lr and 22.lr

[heavy atlas]

So im setting up a whitetail grind on New England Mountains, ive found most of the drink zones and set up tents by some. When there is a zone I do not like how many bucks should I shoot and wht level, an if its a good zone should I wait to shoot any bucks from there before im done clearing the outer zones?

[hazy pumice]

Best area of map for whitetail in Rancho?

[desert rain]

Any zones you don’t want to hunt try to shoot down to level 1s or really small level 2s. Zones you do like shoot unless they are really big 2s or 3s. After you get your undesirable zones shot down to small deer you can start harvesting your big deer from your main zones. Then just check up on your bad zones every 100 kills or so to make sure you didn’t get random respawns there

[hazy pumice]

cheers buddy

i have enough money for one reserve... Parque Fernando, Cuatro Colinas, Te Awaroa or Emerald Coast?

[frail zodiac]

I prefer EC out of those

[hazy pumice]

does it have narrative missions?

i like the long storied reserves

[frail zodiac]

It’s in the middle in length. Cuatro has the best story of the ones you listed

[hazy pumice]

cheers for your help! il get Cuatro this time then il do emerald coast next payday

[kind cosmos]

Hello! I recently saw a piebald moose and was unable to get a shot on it, I've come back to the zone it was in twice now and it hasn't returned, I had thought that animals return to their zones. What should I do to find it?

[plucky rune]

if it is his zone then it will come back eventually

[kind cosmos]

is it possible that it was drinking at a zone thats not actally hers

[plucky rune]

nope

it must be drinking from their zone, if they are nervous drinking then they may be drinking from another area other than their original zone

[kind cosmos]

Okay, I guess I'll just keep coming back

sleeping to the same time will reset it right?

or back to the beginning of the need zone time

[hasty forum]

can someone tell me explicitly what hunting structure they used to complete jaeger #5

[desert rain]

Just out of curiosity since I’ve seen it a lot recently, does Rule F pertain to COTW creators? Like suggesting going to insert COTW affiliate/partner video for hotspot videos? Because I feel like that’s not the intent of the rule, but I know from experience that some people take written rules too literally

[hasty forum]

recommending content in terms of helping people is not the same as advertising
people recommend community made maps, guides, youtube videos all the time
its when you say stuff like - i just made a new reddit post / youtube video go check it out for likes etc.

[desert rain]

Thanks

[heavy atlas]

So get my undesirable zones to small ones and twos,
Then get my favorite zones (10 ish maybe) to be big twos and threes before beginning to shoot big bucks from my favorite zones

[desert rain]

Yeah. You can have 16 tents on a map so you can either do 16 zones or run “harvest tents”. So tents that are set up where you shoot at to make claiming faster. One YouTuber, either Scarecrow or Flinter, says that as long as you can kill 10 a cycle you should be fine, but also make sure you know where all your zones are so that you can check them periodically

[tranquil tundra]

Only videos from the CCs can be shared here.

anything else would fall under the "or any other person's content" part of Rule F

[desert rain]

Thanks

[tired badge]

can someone send the drink zones for black bear on silver ridge peaks?

[tired badge]

apprieciate it bro

[frank oak]

hi guys, sadly as of late ive been encountering an issue, i keep getting disconnected from multiplayer games, ("disconnected" "failed to synchronize"). I have reported this problem i got great feedback, but i cant seem to fix the problem, and theres nothing the support can do from their side, since it really just is a (me) problem. So if anyone knows a fix id be more than grateful.

[tranquil tundra]

as multiplayer is entirely peer-to-peer, there's really not much that can be done about it unfortunately

it's most likely that there's just a hang-up in the internet somewhere between you and the other players

[frank oak]

seemed like it, pretty sad overall though. and thank you

[hazy pumice]

is it possible for females to have rare fur types?

[tranquil tundra]

Yes.

[oblique sentinel]

is it possible to play the game without it crashing?

[tranquil tundra]

https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415698207890-Can-t-Launch-theHunter-Call-of-the-Wild-PC-

The troubleshooting steps in that article also apply to general crashes.

[oblique sentinel]

i can launch it no problem. It plays for about 30-60 mins at a time. but then crashes without a error number or code. just a box that asks if i want to send report or not and a link to request info on the crashes. ive been sending those reports for over 2 months now and ive not got any info on it at all

[oblique sentinel]

and ive already done this twice. once about 4 days ago on windows 11 and again yesterday when i swapped back to win10

[tranquil tundra]

#1062059141436297246

[oblique sentinel]

support has done nothing for me. ive been sending for 2 months with no response

[tranquil tundra]

I can play the game all day without a crash, so chances are it's either a hardware issue or a software conflict.

[oblique sentinel]

which was my thoughts as well

but i know it wasnt my hardware because ive played it before on this same PC without issue

the only app i could think it was associated with would be overwolf

but i uninstalled that to try it again and i still got a crash

[hazy pumice]

thought my eyes decieved me when i seen an albino fur female moose lol, imma let her live

[oblique sentinel]

if i could get an error number or any kind of information from the crash report that was in anyway helpful whatsoever, it would just be peachy

[tranquil tundra]

Tried reinstalling/re-verifying the game files after that?

[oblique sentinel]

yes

i even uninstalled before joining the discord and reinstalled

i would wonder if the NVIDIA control panel would have anything to do with it

[tranquil tundra]

Idk what to tell you then. If you made a post in #1062059141436297246, all you can do is wait for one of the actual support team to get back to you.

[tranquil tundra]

It wouldn't. The only thing that touches is GPU settings.

speaking as someone who also uses an NVIDIA card.

[hazy pumice]

im at a european hare sleep zone. where the feck are the hares? i've been camping the spot for ages

how do i draw them out

[tranquil tundra]

1. hares and other rabbits are some of the slowest animals in the game

2. there might be an active wolf zone parked between where they are now and the zone you're at.

[hazy pumice]

time to clear out some wolves then, i seen some earlier, jumpy little things for being bitey predators

[static seal]

What map is the best to hunt for red deer?

[somber vessel]

Te Awaroa

By a mile

[static seal]

Alr thank you. I am trying to do a red deer grind

[somber vessel]

Te Awaroa is even better for grinding

Great visibility around lakes, you can cover 95-100% of the zones on your map with 16 tents

It’s just perfect

[last hemlock]

anyone have a reference map for kangaroo?

[static seal]

Yo guys why is the DLC shop down? It won’t let me go into the DLC shop to buy anything

[hazy pumice]

on xbox series?

[static seal]

On any Xbox

[hazy pumice]

if you're on xbox series S|X and you launched the game using Quick Resume, the DLC stores of most games will malfunction, causing them not to allow you in. all you need to do is completely close down TheHunter and restart

[static seal]

Ok

I’ll see if that works

And I’ll let you know

[hazy pumice]

works for me everytime it glitches out, Quick Resume is still in its infancy

when i say restart

i mean restart the game

not the console

just so we're clear here

[static seal]

It worked

Thank you

[hazy pumice]

no worries, it'll happen on any game using Quick Resume, its the same fix each time just restart the game

[static seal]

Is the 303 a good gun to hunt red deer with ? I am trying to do a red deer grind

[hazy pumice]

i use the 7MM for red deer

[tranquil tundra]

Yes.

[last hemlock]

What weapon is best for Class 1? Sounds like a stupid question, but all the guns i found is class 2 and higher

[tranquil tundra]

All Class 1 rifles are DLC. Personally, I'd recommend Weapon Pack 1 for the .22LR rifle.

[last hemlock]

What kind of ammo should i use on it?

[ivory solar]

If you dont have dlc you can use shotgun with birdshot, will have to grind a bit tho

[last hemlock]

I got the DLC, found out what bullets afterwards lol. Smoked a few turkeys

[last hemlock]

The .22 Hornet is best for non mobile targets

Requires Mississippi Acres map though

If you're bird hunting, depends on the bird what shotgun would be better

[shy sage]

@scenic yew

[scenic yew]

Yeah I'm on

Hey I got a plan so here it is I want to do a HM fallow grind on te awaroa and I got a ton of solo zones so I was thinking because it's actually possible for solo zones to turn into herd zones that if I ran around and shot all of my herd zones and exited to the main menu then jump back in and refind those zones they might turn into herd zones and if they don't then I'll continue shooting them till they do turn into herd zones.

What do you think?

[hazy pumice]

quick resume in this sense absolutely is the issue, every game that has it bugs out on their DLC Menu

[hazy pumice]

i have enough for a hunting equipment pack, do i get the Duck And Cover, the Wild Goose Chase, Weapon Pack 2, Pack 3 or the Smoking Barrells pack

scratch that Te Awaroa is only 2.70 today im getting that

[charred obsidian]

Has anybody got some time to take a look at my herd management if i am doing it right?

[random cipher]

Do Scent Lures work in the game?
Id prefer to ask here before spending in game money on something useless
And on top if that i ask cus if it does work then can i use a scent lure while in a blind to bring animals to me?

[hazy pumice]

why wouldn't they work lol

[tranquil tundra]

They're extremely situational, but unlike callers, work on "nervous" animals

[hazy pumice]

check wind direction, face blind in said direction then spray

[random cipher]

Becuase when i originally played they were broken
Was this like 2 years ago now? Yes
How ever
Im use to dealing with really really bad game devs

[hazy pumice]

are you sure you used them correctly? they've always worked for me

[random cipher]

Idk
Like i said that was almost 2 years ago

[hazy pumice]

face in the wind's direction and have patience, its also not fool proof, you need to know those animals are at least in a decent proximity to you, that you havent got any hunting pressure and you're also using calls

it can take a lot longer for an animal to investigate scent lures over callers

[random cipher]

Idk about the preassure, iv had things go into high preassure areas over and over again (mostly goats)

[hazy pumice]

just because you've had animals come back to them before, i have, doesnt mean you shouldn't move out of high pressure zones.

you should move out of high pressure and use the scent and/or callers to lure them in

[hazy pumice]

im doing the 2nd wolf mission at the monastery on cuatro... how come hes escaped from the monastery?....

hes nearly 500metres away

is this wolf able to phaze through walls

im quite confused on what to do now

[last hemlock]

He got out cause you were too slow to murder him lol. A bug. Go chase him down (quietly)

[hazy pumice]

that mf is gone i just switched off my xbox and called it a night🤣i was trying to find wherever he got out but wasted time, son of a bitch was out of vocal range before i realised he glitched out

[dusk plaza]

Best map to do whitetail grind ?

[heavy atlas]

For a whiteail grind what trophy level is the max for something in an exterior zone?

I know its any 1’s but im not sure about the 2’s

And is it possible to only shoot one buck at a time instead of two

[dusk plaza]

I just started a whitetail grind. I was told the higher level 2s expect any troll diamonds. And then once you get majority of those do the higher level 1s and max level is 3s

[dusk plaza]

But I’m new to this so I’m not even sure if what I’m saying is true

[heavy atlas]

Yeah im talking herd management and stacking

[dusk plaza]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing rn

[dusk plaza]

Ever since I started few days ago I’m killing high level golds mostly like 240s and had a few albinos pop up on map and one troll Diamond

[civic cedar]

the zoboomafoo pfp!! love it

[covert oriole]

Doing my g1 red deer grind what level do i keep and what do i shoot?

[civic cedar]

keep low levels 4 and below, shoot 5 and above

high population of low levels will make high levels appear more frequently

ask ron about it in #🦌︴great-ones, he's the expert

[chrome condor]

what if my level 3s in a herd both respawn as 2s what do i do

[tribal ledge]

if you go to youtube, look up RonMcTube - he has done some good HM outlining in some of his videos, and has gotten Red Deer diamond grinding down to an art

[tribal ledge]

If you mean to shoot singly one animal - that's how it works. There is no collateral shot in this game. You can actively choose to not shoot more than one

[stuck elm]

A bullet grazing an animal will not hit another animal standing behind it?

Also if I blast a shotgun on two geese standing next to each other will it register to only one of them?

[brittle parcel]

Nh i killed 2 piebold with 1 shot

[vernal iron]

The goose question answer is yes I got two geese by that

[heavy atlas]

I mean in terms of herd management and stacking, is it better to only shoot one buck or two bucks, or does that not matter as long as its not more than 2

[fathom obsidian]

How do you look at another hunters stats??

[south wyvern]

If you need money and xp fast and easy DM me and well hop into some multiplayer

[fierce wave]

Your unable to if you meaning total harvest shots fired etc..

[fierce wave]

🤔 how you able to "help" people get xp fast in mp?

[south wyvern]

ive had experience

[fierce wave]

Well yeah but I'm confused how that helps people get xp and money quickly?

You're unable to to help them do that

Unless 🤔

[fathom obsidian]

I see, I thought host could see other hunters stats, I'm regularly getting kicked outta the sessions

[last hemlock]

Silver Ridge Peaks
Mountain Lion

What the hell does the Vocalization “CHASING” (all caps) mean?

[fierce wave]

The only thing you really can see is others level and session score by holding I on PC or maybe holding the pause button on console (I really don't know on console but that works by default on controller on PC)

[fierce wave]

It means it's actually chasing/hunting a animal

[last hemlock]

So animals will get spooked if a mountain lion in near by?

[fathom obsidian]

Oooh, thx that helped

[fierce wave]

Back when they first released as puma on parque they had the ability to hunt and kill animals they supposedly removed that they could kill but the chasing abilities got left in

[fierce wave]

Yes, all predators in the game class 3 and bigger can and will spook animals near by except bears

[last hemlock]

So a coyote would spook a moose on Layton let’s say?

[fierce wave]

No because they're class 2

[last hemlock]

Coyotes are only class 2?

Thought that were a C3

[fierce wave]

Nope they only a class 2 as of rn

Animals that spook are
Bobcat
Lynx
Mountain lion/puma
All wolves
Crocs and Gators
And lions

[last hemlock]

And what are the chances that an animal will turn aggressive? 25/100?

[fierce wave]

It really depends on the animal really

[last hemlock]

Bull Moose?

[fierce wave]

They have a really high chance if you spook one really close outside of that it's pretty uncommon

[last hemlock]

Huh?

I don’t understand what you said, sorry

[fierce wave]

Ok say you sneak up to a moose and spook it from like 20m it has a lot higher chance to go aggressive then spooking it from 125m

[last hemlock]

Is it the same with a Elk?

[fierce wave]

Elk Do not go aggressive as of right now

Moose
All bears
Crocs and Gators
All wolves
Lions
All bison and buffalo (including Banteng)
All pigs
Capercaillie
Are able to go aggressive and try to kill you (I believe that's all)

[last hemlock]

Coyotes I think can

I remember seeing one charge at me

[fierce wave]

I don't believe they're able to but they very often "flee" into you causing damage to you

If any animal class 2 or bigger runs into you they can hurt you

I've died many times to herds of deer running into me

[last hemlock]

Huh.

[fierce wave]

I've spooked herds of deer that's ran into me and killed me before

[last hemlock]

I’ve only died to a bang tang herd so far

[fierce wave]

Cactus also can hurt you if you run into them they do very little damage tho

[wild crown]

rabbits

[tranquil tundra]

mtn lions/pumas are on the "maybe" list. There's also that one mission puma that's scripted to aggro.

[last hemlock]

Over 2000 hours and I've been attacked twice by a puma. One made a beeline for my brother after I shot it. Hasn't happened in a long time though

Also if anyone wants to have fun, lions don't attack often at medium to long range, but if you spook one at close range they very often attack 👀

[tiny burrow]

before i got long distance zeroing and was using short distance my shots were perfect but now im shooting like a blind man what do i do

[heavy atlas]

Can ducks land in the very shallow water thats like marsh on revontuli?

[gray river]

my favorite spot is the south island. got my first diamond duck there

i’ve also had decent luck on the big lakes in the center

[hazy pumice]

can i only have one skill or perk active? whenever i activate a perk it deactivates the skill and vice versa

[plush folio]

Yea 1 perk

Or skill whatever it is

[viscid gorge]

So I recently switched from PS4 to Xbox series X and I am wondering if I can get all of my progress/dlc back

[hidden basin]

the game has no cross-progression. dlcs are also specific to the storefront

[viscid gorge]

Ok

[civic cedar]

wtf did i hear on nem?? it was straight up a man going EAAAAAARGGGGGGGG

like it didnt sound like an animal that was a straight up man

[chilly cape]

are blue wilder beast with a gold fur type rare ?

[wicked jasper]

No

[plush folio]

There's an airgun in the game??

[somber vessel]

Mhm

It’s one of my personal favourite weapons

Absolutely annihilates sika deer

[plush folio]

They should add more also which one

[somber vessel]

We need a class 3-6 air rifle

Scratch that

I need a class 3-6 air rifle

[sharp latch]

Idk if this is right chat but is piebald for a moose rare?

[tranquil tundra]

Yes

[errant dew]

so i only have the two starting maps but bought the goose pack. where on Layton LAkes can anyone point me towards to hunt them for leveling

[plush folio]

I jus need more air rifles in general I wanna start using them

[desert rain]

Does anyone know of a list for all the mission animals?

[somber vessel]

There are no Canada geese on Layton

You can only find them on Hirschfelden, Yukon and Revontuli Coast

[last hemlock]

To hunt which species? Place tents near lakes that don't have outposts nearby. Same with the coastline, but space em out say 1km apart. Ignore the West coast skinny part

[last hemlock]

On Hirsch, place your decoys and tents in the fields

[last hemlock]

You mean trophy missions animals?

Layton :
Mr Black diamond (black bear diamond, can shoot him 2nd encounter)
Roosevelt elk diamond
Coyote sometimes diamond, often trolls

Hirsch:
Sausage the wild boar diamond
Euro bison gold
Fallow deer male albino
Red deer gold

Medved:
Brown bear albino diamond

Parque:
Puma female

Cuatro:
Iberian wolf diamond fantasma
Iberian wolf gold ogro
Iberian wolf diamond sombra

Silver ridge:
Black bear (I think) not large though

Te Awaroa:
Moose gold mocha fur

I think that's all off the top of my head

[hasty forum]

i think the wiki has a list of what i assume is complete but they're labelled as boss animals? or something weird like that they should also be under each reserve in a subsection

does anyone know how to fix the radial menu from not working
i can no longer 'hotswap' ammo / scopes
only thing i found online was eventually itd fix itself via restarts but its been a few days

[last hemlock]

You got a link?

[hasty forum]

yea im looking gimme a sec saw it earlier need to re-find it

[last hemlock]

Nice. I know them fairly well, since I reset my game too much...

[hasty forum]

https://thehuntercotw.fandom.com/wiki/Boss_animals
so apparently

they are called boss animals

i dont think this is all but - it has alot

[last hemlock]

Boss animals, lol

[last hemlock]

Shiieet how could I forget Cuatro

[hasty forum]

actually it looks like it is all of them

i cant remember any more

[last hemlock]

It is indeed

[hasty forum]

this is a mood - the maps and quests are fun

[last hemlock]

In fact...I'm doing them now

[hasty forum]

yea i reset recently and im just relaxing
planning on doing them in consecutive order
still on early hirsch missions lol

[last hemlock]

Nice, the first three maps quests are the hardest

[hasty forum]

for reaaal - they have way more picture missions than any other and they take soooo long to do lol

i was on the kill 3 gold fallow mission for like 14 hours because i just kept getting silvers lol

[last hemlock]

Drink time should sort it out

[last hemlock]

Then the side quests are really hard

[hasty forum]

i was on drink time - gave up went to midnight and found one resting haha

[glad hound]

What do people mean by saying something like troll albino?

[hidden basin]

troll = max level that doesnt make diamond

[devout night]

I want to buy a dlc so I can get any class 1 easier, so what DLC have the best weapon for all class 1?

[copper kite]

I would go for Virant .22LR. It is in Weapon Pack 1 DLC.

[hasty forum]

Birdshot shotguns with zeroing can all relatively easily kill class ones within 75 metres
If you want something longer than that the virant .22 is the best option due to magazine size and range

[devout night]

well I want buy that DLC just asking if there any better weapon for class 1

[copper kite]

I think not. Shotgun of course when close range, but over 100m the Virant is my choice 100%.

[devout night]

but will that do be effective on bird like ring-necked pheasant

like I need to wait till they fly so it not count as grounded

[copper kite]

For pheasants, ptarmigans and quails, shotgun is better as you need to shoot them from air.

[tribal ledge]

This depends on your ability to become a sniper. Virant is amazing for distance wing shots

If your smiling at birds is less than ideal, shotgun is the way to go

[last hemlock]

The .22 hornet is another option, better range but more noisy

Comes with mississippi, little more expensive

[hasty forum]

also has 4 less bullets, and double the recoil so if your exclusively using it for class 1 its not as good as the virant

22h can however handle both class 1 and 2

[last hemlock]

Probably true. But I like the flatter trajectory of the hornet. With recoil management it's ok

But then...I don't fire more than 2 follow up shots with those weapons

[hasty forum]

the ammo ballistics require a massive rebalance to get out of the obviously dlc-incentivised zero-fun balancing issues that this game has

[last hemlock]

Do explain

[hasty forum]

so many cool guns that - if they were balanced properly would be fun to use that end up sitting collecting dust because they're just far inferior with the current balancing

[last hemlock]

Ah yes, for sure. I take them out sometimes anyway. Incentivises heartshots more

[hasty forum]

for example the new .44 is more than likely going to obsolete the mosin

in terms of efficacy / objectivity - not subjective fun / preference

[last hemlock]

Does it have less range like the other lever actions though?

[hasty forum]

the less range will be virtually negligable considering that zeroing is the only decent active skill

and that 420 metres is render distance cutoff

[last hemlock]

Hmmm it can use modern sights can't it?

[hasty forum]

mosin will be slightly easier to do slightly longer shots with but it will be less powerful and a class lower

yea

it has a rail

so unless they messed up it'll be using the rail sights instead of the sidemount sights

[last hemlock]

Does .44 ammo outperform 7.65?

[hasty forum]

so - i cant be 100% certain because currently in game - we only have handguns - which obviously have range issues

but it will more than likely be similar to how the malmer is just - a better generic choice for that class range over the eckers ot 6 or the zarza 308

.44 in the handgun is already a really good option imo

once we add rifling range to that which the .44 rifle is supposed to default to 150 metres btw

[last hemlock]

The 7mm mag is comparable to .454 ammo rather

[hasty forum]

unless they change it

[last hemlock]

.44....unsure

[hasty forum]

yea the 7mm is just outright higher class than the 30-06 and the 308

same with how the .44 is higher class than 7.62

being 3-8

not 3-7

[last hemlock]

They did that for handgun balancing

Originally

[hasty forum]

the .44 rifle defaults to 150m middle zeroing and will be class 3-8 it also has 6 rounds

[last hemlock]

Powerwise 44 is similar to 7.62/300 calibre

[hasty forum]

its more than likely gonna have less recoil as well

so same range, an extra bullet, a higher class rating, and likely better recoil

[last hemlock]

Better range then, weird cause it's using the same ammo

[hasty forum]

also penetration wise

the .44 is alot stronger

[last hemlock]

Yeah they can't give it more range using the same ammo

[hasty forum]

the mosin only has soft points

only time will tell but - if we're gonna go off how every other dlc balancing works its a pretty safe bet that the .44 rifle will just be outright better

[last hemlock]

Thats annoyed me recently. The class higher would outperform the mosin, but if the range is the same then it'll be more balanced

They can't physically have a better range on the .44 rifle cause the ammo is the same

[hasty forum]

i mean

they can

rifling alone will increase range massively

[last hemlock]

They can, but it'd be illogical

You have the same powder in the cartridge, it can't physically go further

[last hemlock]

That just increases accuracy

[hasty forum]

thats the whole point of rifling and longer barrel means that it increases the amount of time that the pressurized gasses stay within the barrel
its been tested a few times

[hasty forum]

it increases stability of 'flight' which signifigantly impacts both range and accuracy

the stream didnt show the nitty grittys so i dont know everything unfortunately

the recurve bow in the pack is also gonna be really good

because you can use modern sights with it

also from the looks of it the main benefit is that the .44 rifle will have standard lever reloading which lets you cancel reload

which the revolvers still lack

and the mosin being clip-fed doesnt have

[last hemlock]

It seems you're right

[hasty forum]

its - a big stretch and alot of the practicals change but the concept is similar

think of how a football gains accuracy and range if you implement spin to it

[last hemlock]

And the pressure time within the barrel

[hasty forum]

also it'll be similar to how the .22-250 is .22 rounds but they're cases are larger

[last hemlock]

Is it like the barebows in game?

[hasty forum]

im assuming they're adding .44 rifle ammo into the game and not just loading .44 handgun ammo into it

judging by the ammo picture in the corner

though i could be wrong

[last hemlock]

Ohhhh well that would've shut me up

[hasty forum]

i didnt want to use that as fact

because im not actually sure about that

thats just an educated guess based on the limited screentime that ive seen

[last hemlock]

It seemed like they were using the handgun

[hasty forum]

very possible

the ammo icon could just be a rifle thing

[last hemlock]

I havent bought a few of the last packs. Theyre becoming less interesting

[hasty forum]

also its my mistake the .44 rifle is 50 / 100 / 150

not 100 / 150 / 200

[last hemlock]

Ah, so the same as the other lever actions

[hasty forum]

i have everything except 2 of the cosmetic bundles

and then i missed some of the free cosmetics they've given out

like the easter ones

[last hemlock]

The mosin has a range advantage then at least, not that it matters much

[hasty forum]

you can still easily make 300 metre shots with it

just need to rely on self-zeroing

[last hemlock]

That's all I do mate

[hasty forum]

yea

i rarely change zeroing unless its something like

a shotgun

75m birdshot is just nasty

[last hemlock]

It'll be easier with the modern sights

[hasty forum]

the big thing about zeroing i dislike is - that its global

and not per weapon

so i dont normally 'play' with it - and usually just set it to max

max*

[last hemlock]

It isn't?

[hasty forum]

what was the last weapon pack?
was it power pack + australia map

[hasty forum]

nope - change it for one gun it'll change for everything

[last hemlock]

Ah that's what you mean, for sure

Yes changing it can be annoying. I prefer self holdover now

[hasty forum]

which ones that again?

[last hemlock]

Not usinf zeroing

[hasty forum]

ah makes sense

i mean theres not many other useful active skills

[last hemlock]

Easy for most rifles. Bit tricky for a few weapons, but I have diagrams

[hasty forum]

ranger used to be mildly useful

but now its a passive skill

windage is borderline useless unless ur doing like extreme range bow shots

[last hemlock]

I don't use any tbh

[hasty forum]

same with wind / weather prediction

startle call is alright - but u can also normally just whistle

keen eye is only useful a few times

[last hemlock]

Sometimes they run. I just run for a second to make them alert then shoot them

[hasty forum]

tracers for shotgun - really isnt too useful because u can normally see where u shoot
and if you perk for ready time shooting both barrels at once is rarely useful only in very niche settings

[last hemlock]

Unless you use the exploit lol

[hasty forum]

yea thats also real easy

[hasty forum]

which one?

[last hemlock]

Is that allowed here?

[hasty forum]

probably not i wasnt aware there was an exploit for it

my radial is still glitched and i cant hotswap ammo / scopes

[last hemlock]

It's technically a bug

[hasty forum]

and i have this weird issue where my screen is like maybe a centimetre pushed upwards

so i have a black bar on the bottom

and he top of my screen is slightly cut off

ahh

i think that fixes alot of things

well resets lots

[last hemlock]

I don't use it though. It deleted all my tents off the map once

[hasty forum]

i havent set up any tents yet

since i restarted

[last hemlock]

Do a cache reset to fix your radial issue

[hasty forum]

btw - do scents matter about verticality

can i use scent in a stand / tripod

or do i need to get out

[last hemlock]

No idea, never use them

[hasty forum]

do u mind guiding me thru this
what would i google

cotw cache reset?

[last hemlock]

Uhhh, what system are you on?

[hasty forum]

win 11

[last hemlock]

Pc hmmm...

Cotw cache reset pc?

Idk if cache is relevant to pc though

[hasty forum]

yea im not too certain

i only know of two directorys
the game directory and the saves directory

neither of which seem relevant

[hasty forum]

so i just removed everything from my inventory then quit then put stuff back and that fixed it

my screen is still slightly offset not sure what the deal with that is - since it was working fine earlier

same with the map on my phone

[last hemlock]

Maybe google that one

[hasty forum]

yea i'll have to try

[desert rain]

Thanks

[hazy pumice]

theres 3 harvestable mission wolves on Cuatro Collinas isnt there?

is one of them done through a side mission? iv done the full campaign and only had 2 out of 3

[desert rain]

The black one is from the Baden side missions

[magic scaffold]

Give me fun ways to play this game, starting to lose satisfaction from doing anything unless its a diamond

[plain ether]

Set challenges for yourself or something lol

[hidden basin]

do something dumb. like, handguns only. or lever guns only

[devout quarry]

Bow only

[iron isle]

Bow only was a ton of fun

[devout quarry]

Indeed it is, I also love shotguns only as well

[iron isle]

Shotguns less so as the pen is abysmal

[plush folio]

Go up to a Buffalo and use a pistol

[iron isle]

Actually better than a shotgun

[plush folio]

It's a fun game called "will you survive"🤣

[devout quarry]

10 gauge with the slugs

[ruby mason]

skills like soft feet and the one that reduces your visibility are completely broken for me. I've paid to reassign the traits, ive tried turning the game off and on again, ive verified the files of the game on steam, and yet these skills have no effect whatsoever except for the first time you get them. If you switch reserves or restart the game after you get these skills it still says you have them unlocked but they loose their effect completely. Does anybody know how to fix this?

[last glade]

I have a question: isn't there a 308 rifle similar to the 303?

I swear that I had it at some point but I do not see it in the store or my storage

[devout quarry]

You mean the bolt action .308?

[last glade]

I believe so but I haven't played in a while

I swear I've used it before though

[tropic basin]

Olson model 23?

[last glade]

is that the only 308 in this game?

[tropic basin]

No

Thats a bolty

The other one is the modern weapons pack one

[last glade]

Ohhhh ok

I mightve just been thinking of the 303 then lol

my bad

[tropic basin]

Its all the same anyway pretty much

Another 4-8 gun

[last glade]

yeah true
