Get polymer tips

[spiral hull]

Yes, this sounds good to me. When to shoot max level animals depends what stage you are at in the process. I've noticed good results from stacking them up at first, but some players skip this or do it in a different order.

[craggy panther]

Thats what I'm using on the .270 and my shot are not making in to organs it hits and spots on inpact

[shrewd pilot]

What time should i set when hm fallow in teawaroa?

[mild wren]

11

[craggy panther]

What's a good time and spot for me to set on Layton. I'm only lvl 5

[shrewd pilot]

is there any benefits in completing quests/missions?

[primal reef]

Some missions have mission animals or weapons or on yukon a outpost

[normal dune]

any tips on the mission of the hurt deer in the medved taiga map?
i'm stuck on this mission and can't find the deer

[primal reef]

Suggest watching a video that should help. I cannot personally remember.

[normal dune]

okay thanks

[cursive swan]

Liver is not vital

And you didn't wanna brain shot a bear

[hazy barn]

It is

[primal reef]

Liver is a vital organ

[cursive swan]

I've hit liver on multiple of my shots and they say missed vital

[hazy barn]

Enough proof?

[primal reef]

Nice SR

[hazy barn]

How many drinks zoned for white tail on rev?

[spiral hull]

[honest echo]

Hello, I haven’t played the game since last august, have any population resets happened since then and if so which maps have they happened on? Just want to make sure if I need to clean up some maps to fix my old grinds or not

[strange scarab]

Biggest thing there is to be careful with your shot placement. Take the shot broadside or within 20 degrees of broadside

[tulip solar]

Best whitetail map rn?

Can anyone help me I new to this game

[placid sigil]

No

[potent fjord]

Any tipps on how to kill a bush hare? In Africa I only have these missions left, but I only can see the bush hares through binoculars at a distance of 200m, no chance to get a little closer for the shotgun.

[fierce wave]

Get a 22

Or be really sneaky

They feed at night in the open it'll make it a little easier

[potent fjord]

A shotgun is necessary for the mission

[fierce wave]

Oh

Then find a group feeding and start stocking then when you get around 150m/yards and make sure the wind is good and you'll be set

[fickle sundial]

Oh wait

There's no mela gnu lol

I'm dumb sorry lol

[jaunty urchin]

Any idea why in multiplayer everyone keeps getting disconnected or kicked

[sullen vapor]

Any tips to find diamond+ animals?

[fierce wave]

Search water holes learn the drink times of every animal follow every max weight track you come across and kill stuff then back track

[last hemlock]

ive been having trouble getting the mission moose on te awaroa does anyone have any tips

[polar trail]

you only get one chance right?

[last hemlock]

if you don't finish the mission you can main menu and restart but every time i do i always lose it when it runs away and I've restarted the mission at least 10 times now

[latent cedar]

maybe don't take the photo...

[fierce wave]

You either kill it or take a pic not both

[wheat moss]

hehe, i shoulda shot tht moose, i still regret it to this day

dumb how it doesnt leave any blood trails, so you gotta heart shot it to even have a chance

[nocturne bolt]

No, you go back to lvl 1, and loose all mission progress + mission guns and outposts. You wil have to rediscover the whole map again

Can someone tell me how to play the hunter: call of the wild on epic games without internet? I have internet issues and every like 30 minutes my internet crashes for a minute and comes back, and i am getting kicked out of the game because of this and error pops up, i was searching for tutorials and i checked the setting on epic games that i allow the epic launcher to be in offline mode, but the game still crashes, can someone help? i really like the game but its unplayable because of this :((

[simple haven]

maybe search specifically on how to play the games without wifi

epic in general is just awful

i installed payday 2 on it and spent most of my time talking to the devs about the issues i was facing

Does anyone know a good weapon for class 9 animals? been using the power DLC but still can't seem to kill them without sending a ballistic missile into their right lung.

[naive perch]

Bow

[daring yarrow]

does anybody have any good tips and tricks they could give new players on how to just find more animals and get more kills in general?

[primal reef]

I recommend checking out some youtube videos, called Beginner series. Ik Scarecrow, LadyLegend and Flinter have done some. They give some really good tips and tricks

[last hemlock]

Can someone tell me how rare is a brown bear with gold fur type and another brown bear with red brown fur?

[primal reef]

Gold = uncommon.
redbrown = common.

Anyone have have the best skill sets?

[iron notch]

There isn’t really any “best” ones , but a lot of people swear by stuff like improvised blind and stuff like that
I’d recommend just reading what they all do and picking what suits you

[brazen socket]

I highly recommend you check out Lady Legend's videos on YT - she's an EW partnered creator. I know she has a Playlist for new players that has instructions on the best Skills & Perks.

[lilac valley]

thank you, that's what I ended up doing

[brazen socket]

Been grinding red deer on Cuatro Colinas for almost a year with no GO. Getting a diamond a day. Just ran the river again for the fifth time, and found 7 new zones. Two questions:
-Will finding those zones improve my chances of spawning a GO?
-Do I need to shoot those zones? Two are solos, five have good herds. There's one 8, two 7s.

[sudden quiver]

If I hit new game will I lose my trophy lodge?

[hazy barn]

You only keep your trophies and trophy lodge after hitting new game

The rest is reset

[sudden quiver]

Does it mean animal population gets reset?

[hazy barn]

Yes

[desert rain]

Your character and maps. So you’ll have to unlock weapons, perks, and outposts again

[vagrant sedge]

(you can seperately delete the pop without hitting new game though)

Change zones pretty much the males went somewhere else

[normal cosmos]

Anyone have a Mississippi whitetail drink zone map?

Haven’t played since last October, last time I played I did a moose and fallow great one grind runs, and some croc culling, coming back to my maps I have like no respawns, how do I get my respawns to come?

[abstract warren]

you can defragment your ps4

[outer terrace]

idek what that is/means

[hearty ore]

Is the canning as good as the tsurugi

[frail zodiac]

Better imo

[hearty ore]

Oooh...

I might have to grab that after this quest

So I have ammo for the damn thing eh

I have like just enough for the rifle itself

re organize everything on your ps4s hdd. it improves performance

[fast viper]

Next update when sundarpatan releases

[blissful venture]

Damn why tho 🥲 was nice when Just the Male Population has new Drink Times lol

[fast viper]

Because not everyone wants to go round manually resetting bear population

[blissful venture]

Yeah i guess

[stray skiff]

hey yall i have a question if i dont own a map and join a multiplayer game that has a map that i do not own will i get banned ?

[primal reef]

No, on multi you can play any map without the DLC. This is just to help new players and also to test the map to see if you like it before you buy it. It also still allows you to still kill other species.

[stray skiff]

thank you so much i was scared that my pc got hacked and i cud play it for free tysmmm

[frank palm]

Hi all i need some help , Is there a way to hunt both with a tent setup .....i am new trying to setup my first red deer grind , They are 100m from each other and both are nice big groups with nice animals

or am i better of putting the stand / tent to cover both then just shoot at one group

[autumn cliff]

Dm me

And il help you in 10 mins

[frank palm]

oki

thx

[stray skiff]

guys how do i go to my place where i put the animals i taxidermized

[heavy zodiac]

press M, then somewhere on the left a bit down it says somthing like "trophy lodge"

[copper pond]

TheHunter how can I translate Turkish language?

[tribal ledge]

Do you mean classic, or call of the wild?

[copper pond]

How can I change the language of the game?

[outer terrace]

whats hdd?

[vagrant sedge]

hard disk drive. the storage of your console

[outer terrace]

Oh

I will try it but it probably wont work, im thinking its stuff inside my ps4 like dust

[abstract warren]

If you've never defragmented it'll probably help

[tribal ledge]

Sorry I was doing a lot of things..
Does it not have an option under Settings?

break it neck

[hidden basin]

I attempted it with a frontal heartshot. I missed the heart but got the liver LOL (without touching either of the lungs)

Try it with a lower-pen round

[opaque plume]

Is the Yukon best map on moose?

[abstract warren]

It's either medved or Revontuli

[opaque plume]

I dont have Revontuli

I have medved

[abstract warren]

Medved is often considered the best

But yukon works

[opaque plume]

I want to hunt diamond moose or albino

So medved is better?

[abstract warren]

For g1 grinding yeah

It also has 0 floaters

Wolves can be problematic but overall medved is great

[opaque plume]

I am hunting at the water.

[craggy steppe]

honestly wolves can be solved by bringing the 10mm

[abstract warren]

Yeah but I'm p sure they scare moose

[chrome lily]

I really wana start playing this game, but man I suck at being paitence, any helpful tips?

[daring grail]

is the more structures of this type are not allowed just cause of the collor of tent or nah?

If I select New Game and overwrite my savedata, will I still keep my event skins, such as the ones from Halloween, Easter etc.?

[kind belfry]

Hi yall, I have two quick questions to ask rq.

1. What map is best for grinding cash?
2. What map is best for grinding Red Deer?

[spiral hull]

1. Emerald Coast (Banteng and Crocodiles)
2. most of them are good, I suggest Te Awaroa or Cuatro Colinas

[kind belfry]

Emerald is so hilly that I take 20+ minutes just to find an animal. I don't set up stands for cash grinding, I probably shouldve mentioned that lol, maybe Vurhonga would have more animals just like. Around

[spiral hull]

definitely Emerald Coast

the beach is not hilly and crocs don't need stands

[kind belfry]

Fair enough, I remember just going on a croc massacre when I first played that map

[spiral hull]

The main thing with cash maximisation are species difficulty and how quickly you can shoot them. Banteng and Saltwater Crocodiles are favorable for both of these. Crocs pay like 1600 igc for a gold, and they lay out on the beach all day so they are easy to find and shoot.

Banteng don't pay quite as much but they group up in herds allowing you to shoot 2 or more with ease when you run into them. They drink on the beach but are also easy to find while they rest further inland.

if you still don't want to hunt EC I suggest Black Bears for cash, or Mountain Lions/Puma

both of these are also 100% species difficulty and have something that makes them easy to kill stacks. I can do 10+ Mountain Lions in 20m real time; I'm sure better players go even faster.

[serene token]

Whats the rules of Very new! Fresh! Very Fresh! Just now! etc

[magic spire]

What is the best way to get rid off hunting pressure after my friend joined me and started killing any thing he sees?

[median plover]

Shoot other animals in other areas of the map

[lean ruin]

For my red deer great one grind, why do I have less males in my main zones? For example a main zone had 3, now it has 1, but I only shot 2 males so I wont get jumpers, but why do I have less than 3?

[primal reef]

They were probably solos

[tribal ledge]

Have you moved the hunting pressure? 2 stags from a 3 stag zone is a LOT and you may have destroyed it unintentionally

[lean ruin]

Well im using tripods

[primal reef]

Was there females?

[lean ruin]

Yes a lot of them

[primal reef]

All I could say is maybe respawns aren't respawning or they were solos

[lean ruin]

My map only has 2-3 zones that are very big but the others only have 3-4 males in each herd

[lean ruin]

Well I have 47 drink zones

[primal reef]

Idk then

[lean ruin]

:/

Should I just like quit from doing it bcs is just confusing man:

[unborn egret]

Are they population resetting maps with the next update?

[primal reef]

Bears are. I believe Blackbuck and Water Buff are

[unborn egret]

Ok just new and reworks

[primal reef]

Bears due to drink zones, and blackbuck and water buff due to remodel

[last hemlock]

Some species, bobcats as well

[surreal scroll]

Tip: Don’t grind G1 moose on Revontuli

[stray skiff]

guys why when i click on like revontuili in mutliplayer and theres a map belove and above it just goes to one of those maps

[cyan plaza]

Multiplayer is kinda broken atm

I cant even join servers, and when i manage to join it just kicks me instantly..

[lean ruin]

How many zones to start for go fallow deer on te awaroa

[frail zodiac]

30ish

Give or take a few

[lean ruin]

I think I got like 30 but cant find more?

[frail zodiac]

That’s probably it then

[primal reef]

Yer its around 30, I have around 35 due to me breaking some zones.

[lean ruin]

You know the main lake at the beginning?

[primal reef]

Yer

I have 5 zones, 3 solos

[lean ruin]

How many zones for fallow deer you have

Oh alr

I got 5 too

Thanks

[lean ruin]

I noticed that there a lot of solo zones like damn

[primal reef]

Yer, but that means less zones to shhot when your at the prime of grinding

[lean ruin]

How many do you recommend to shoot per main zone, because some of the times in a rotation there only 2 males instead of 4 and i dont know if i should shoot the 2 of it if I know there 4 in the zone

[primal reef]

2 per zone

[lean ruin]

Alr thx bro

[stray skiff]

same hahahah !

Does anyone know how do i practice my aim

[hidden basin]

There’s a shooting range on hirschfelden

It might come in handy

ofc, you can also use the does as target practice lmao

[stray skiff]

thanks and how do i make my aim more still?

[hidden basin]

You on PC or console?

[stray skiff]

[rancid solar]

[languid zinc]

Any tips for quickly finding drink zones to setup a whitetail grind?

[lean ruin]

One more thing for my fallow grind on te awaroa, how many zones do I want to set up as my main zones

[spiral hull]

Use the ATV during and after drink time.

[languid zinc]

Appreciate it!!

[pseudo sun]

Need like, 1000 shotgun score, so what would be the best animal to hunt to get that done fairly quickly?

[primal reef]

If a MP of rev is open or you have rev just run the top part of the map

[pseudo sun]

Aright! Thanks :)

[hearty ore]

What was the map that had all the gators

[fierce wave]

Mississippi

[hearty ore]

Is that that map that has all those really dumb crocs that just line themselves up

[cedar iron]

Ik saltwater crocs in emerald coast are lined up on the coast, idk if thats what you are referring to

[hearty ore]

Ahhh yup, so I need the Oz map

[delicate pelican]

so im on my fallow grind, when i shoot at a fallow but it dosent die, on my next run that fallow is just gone, and it never comes back, any ideas? i am consistantly logging and picking up my kills

[cedar iron]

I recommend it, the crocs on the coast are such easy money lol

[hearty ore]

Got the Oz map and the glock pack

[void frost]

Question are initial spawn GO a thing anymore? My hubby and I took a break from playing COTW and remembered a while back when new GO came out that some did get initial spawns but wasn’t sure if things have changed

[distant juniper]

They are a thing but extremely hard to get

[void frost]

Ok I probably won’t be one of those lucky ones but good to know:)

[wary ridge]

no

they are not a thing anymore

[haughty sky]

when my friend tries to join me on multiplayer it puts him in a random server

why?

[wild crown]

Is the .300 AR better or the .300 canning

[torn anchor]

I found this, it might help you guys in the future

[torn anchor]

.300 AR

[craggy steppe]

AR technically but personally I prefer the canning magnum

[tribal sigil]

how do i spawn the g1

i dont know how to manage my interior zones

[hazy pumice]

its random chance like rare furs im sure

[tribal sigil]

i watched a lady legend vid on how to do it but shes not clear enough

[hazy pumice]

do you know the hotspot maps for the animal you are hunting?

[wild crown]

Alright bet

[delicate pelican]

anyone know why?

[fickle yacht]

a bug maybe

I have 2 monitors and when I play the game in full screen and try to aim windows freaks out like I right clicked on my other monitor. I was wondering if anyone else had had and resolved the issue?

[thin arch]

Hey guys is it possible to pickup tents after placing them?

[normal cosmos]

Anyone able to tell me if I should leave lvl 3 fallow in exteriors for a HM grind? Pls don't answer if you are not experienced enought to.

[polar trail]

yes

[polar trail]

Yes absolutely(I am not experienced enough to answer) Hope this helps!

[hidden basin]

There’s a bag next to the tent

Use that to pick it up

[thin arch]

ah ok i missed it lol

[iron palm]

Hey, so I've been playing the game a bit too long to even be asking this question, but I am confused, so here it goes. Is it better to pick up kills or leave them to despawn? Because I have seen some success using both methods.

[hazy barn]

Kills will not despawn

You either pick them up or exit to main menu for them to respawn

[unique drift]

What do I do if I'm doing a fallow grind, but a herd is like 3 bucks, no does? Shoot em all off or wouldn't that just delete the herd?

[hazy barn]

If there's no does that means all of the bucks are solos

[serene plank]

Hey does anyone have a guide to racks?

Visual or not, I’m just a dumb dumb

[unique drift]

Ight thanks. I was just confused because I thought a solo would always be by themselves and never share a drink zone with others. Cuz I'll see 3 bucks using the same drink zone

[last hemlock]

@hidden basin

[worldly drift]

does anybody have a hotspot for moose on layton lake for my grind

[slender basin]

is there a faster way to get my fallow deer to respawn?

[sudden quiver]

Is it worth it to grind for dimond lynx?

[median plover]

Are you sure he didnt die? Could be a non vital hit and the animal died much later

[primal reef]

I would probably multi hop for a lynx they are horrible to grind sometimes.

[bitter agate]

Can someone tell me the score of the rack of the white tail GO

[primal reef]

They score all different.

[bitter agate]

Yes I wanted to see the differences

[fickle yacht]

rancho, new england, te awaroa, cuatro, parque

what should i get

[primal reef]

Depends are you a grinder and do you like bird species/

[fickle yacht]

nah im just walking and shooting

not grind

[primal reef]

Probablt te

[fickle yacht]

ok thanks

[median plover]

Te is my fav out of these

[burnt crater]

Hey, how can I reset the maps, so only that I don't see anything on the maps anymore and I have to explore them again

[median plover]

You can't afaik without messing with your saved game data in files

[burnt crater]

ok, do you know how it workes with the data 😅

[median plover]

I mean I know where it's stored as steam tells you, what stores what I have no clue although EW probably named it easily enough to work out
That said I would not do it because:

1. Might mess up the game data and you'll need a clean install to fix or lose other progress such as lodge and player level
2. You don't gain anything? If it's exploring for animals you want to do grab the 300. AR and delete a bunch of need zones then go and explore again
3. Editing files is against server rules and I get your reasoning is innocuous but many players count any editing as cheating and I am inclined to agree with them.

[burnt crater]

oh nein, das meine ich nicht ich meine das ich auf den karten die ganzen Häuser nicht mehr habe und die Außenposten. Ich habe mir mal ein save game runtergeladen und ich merke immer mehr das es ein Fehler war. ich will nur nicht mein ganzes game zurücksetzen weil ich meine diamanten verlieren will.

[median plover]

Ooof

Hope there arent many diamonds you have

[burnt crater]

i have not so much but also not view and one elk is REALY good (301)

[icy bear]

Hi I have a question. I just bought Silver Ridge Peaks and wanted to hunt bears. but the still have the old drink times because they eat from 4 to 8. why?

[primal reef]

Strange, well when the update comes out they will all be drinking at 4-8.

[icy bear]

ok so i just wait

[primal reef]

You can just kill then and then they will dirnk at 4-8

[rancid solar]

???

[normal cosmos]

are you picking up the fallow that you shoot that run a long ways?

[normal cosmos]

Tbh you could just have a zone that you don't have discovered, I have had a singular solo zone mess up my whole fallow grind before

[prisma turtle]

I haven't done the mission (don't have Africa) but use a good rifle from class 4-8, your animal like warthog should be at the bottom of your estimate. Make sure you have the perk where you zoom in when holding breath. Try to go for double loung, make sure the zeroing is right. I hope it helped! You can tell me which gun dlcs you have.

what’s the thing that can messed up your herd

why is this happenning

[pseudo sun]

Could be too high of a ping

[stray skiff]

yea somone helpd me make it smaller thanks anyway!

[pseudo sun]

Cool :)

[thin arch]

hey guys im looking to start a whitetail deer grind for at least a really nice diamond and i was wondering what is the best place on layton lakes to do this? thx

[primal reef]

To grind efficiently and to get respawns (quicker) you need all your zones. This map will help you.

[thin arch]

Thank you! And what is the best way to find all or most of the zones?

[primal reef]

Start the time at around 9:30 and just run and look infront of you with Binos at all the locations that are colours on the map I jsut sent. Keep resetting the time to 9:30 once it hits 12.

[thin arch]

Ok sounds easy enough again thx

[primal reef]

Np.

[thin arch]

Oh and one more thing, when it's actually time to start grinding what is the best time to set it to, 9:30?

[primal reef]

If you want a G1 I would recommend looking for some videos on youtube.

[thin arch]

I do want a G1 but I don't know if I want to spend tons of hours on it lol

[primal reef]

Set it to 9:30 when it hits 12 o'clock , idk how many zones are on layton but when you think you have enough zones you can start grinding. It depends if you want to Herd Manage or not

[thin arch]

Herd manage? Probably not just yet

[primal reef]

okay, then just set up on 10 zones with pick up tents and just shoot 2 males per zone. Make sure you only shoot males.

Make sure the zone has a min of 2 males and 2 females

[thin arch]

Ok sounds good

Thanks again for the help

[primal reef]

Np.

[rigid swallow]

Im lvling pistols to unlock the rhinno (is this the most powerful pistol in the game?) which one is the powerful to moose and less? im using .45-70 but if we have a good one with more than 1 shot will be better

maybe sundberg 454 is the gun im lf

[spiral hull]

click "new game" on the main menu 👍 gl

[deft swallow]

This may sound stupid, but Im having a hard time trying to play this game, Ive played Classic for about 5 years and I bought cotw like 5 months ago cause it was 2$ to buy

I know Im supposed to look for drink zones n stuff

But that doesn’t sound that fun to do

[serene plank]

I know I already asked, does anyone have a guide to racks on all species?

[ionic rune]

Is 16 male saltys a good run for were I circled?

[spiral hull]

that's a good haul 👍

[spiral hull]

I've never played classic but I know it's harder and sparser, so if you know how to play classic you can hunt however you want to have fun. Drink zone spamming might be the only thing that gets talked about but there are other ways to play. Do what you like, play how you like.

[last narwhal]

cant complete out of her comfort zone on silver ridge peaks the phone isnt highlighted and i cant pick it up does anyone know how to fix this

[hybrid fern]

whats lion drink time on Vurhonga?

[frail zodiac]

12-15

[hybrid fern]

thanks

[onyx brook]

I have a question I have one solo zone and a herd zone of 7 they all drink at one spot together but instead of 8 there is like 10 or 12 drinking at that one spot together what does it mean

[serene plank]

Please, I beg.

[stray bloom]

Might have more than one solo zone

[eager bay]

what time do mountain lions drink?

[dapper wedge]

0-3

[eager bay]

Thank you

[outer terrace]

i swear all the preds drink so early when its still pitch black

[dapper wedge]

Not lions

[outer terrace]

yea

[unborn egret]

Someone said not to grind for a great one Moose on revontuli coast anyone know why?

[tranquil tundra]

Moose are literally everywhere on that map

[unborn egret]

are there so many moose zones because they don't always use the same zone and swap between two different ones because zone that I discovered has been uninhabited for a really long time

[last hemlock]

Probably because medved is considered better for it

[rancid solar]

???

[icy bear]

Anyone know how I can beat the first mission from Silver Ridge Peaks? I was on the map in multiplayer before buying it so i cant complete "visit the outpost"

[sudden quiver]

I had same problem with new england, i wasn't able to find a way to fix it, so I just clicked new game and it worked

[icy bear]

but then everything is gone?!

[icy bear]

Oh i did it thanks

[maiden solstice]

when its on sale again bcs my steam got hacked and its boring without it

[last hemlock]

where should i put magpie goose decoys they always refuse to land because of the crocodiles

[last hemlock]

Which dlc´s would y´all recommend buying?

[mortal ivy]

saber 4x4 if u dont already have it. As for maps I'd say emerald coast is the best map overall. I'd also suggest the modern weapons pack cus it's got the .308 which is a really good class 4-8 rifle.

[last hemlock]

I´m on Ps5 btw

I´m going to buy the game bcuz it on 80% sale for ps plus

Only 5 euro

And the dlc´s are also around 75% on sale

Thanks for the advice

[median plover]

What sort of animals do you like to hunt the most? Revontulli if birds, EC is great for general grinding out cash etc. Gun DLC's definitely the AR pack I would have to recommend

[last hemlock]

Idk yet because i have never played it...

[mortal ivy]

no problem bro

[pine shadow]

I messed up a diamond lynx and a diamond whitetail in 10 minutes what should i do?

[median plover]

Watch any of the youtubers?

Although my top 6 to get would be:
-Tents and blinds
-Saseka Safari Trophy Lodge
-Silver Ridge Peaks
-Te Awaroa
-Emerald Coast
-Modern Rifle pack

I think, first one for grinds, second as I enjoy the trophy lodge as it adds extra for me collecting nice kills. Those three maps as two are fairly open and nice for good kills and grinds. Last is also good for random hunts, fairly open and the best map for making money. Modern rifle pack is probs the best gun pack imo.

[mortal ivy]

Oh and to comment on grinds. If ur wanting lots of good trophies grinds are a good playstyle but if ur wanting something (closer) to a proper hunting experience I would suggest avoiding that kinda playstyle.

[cyan river]

Grind another 200-400 animals to next Diamond spawn.

[pine shadow]

It was on my friends map

Fresh revontuli

but i already have 2 diamond lynx so i dont mind it

[daring grail]

how do you fix the error there was a problem loading the requested trophy lodge?

[silk quarry]

Hey I want to start at Hirschfelden I've learned that the missions take you a long ways around the map very early and I would like to know if I should unlock the map fully with the ATV before hand or what?

[void frost]

Quick question for those who have done the moose grind in Revontuli: how many drink zones are there for moose. I just want to make sure I’ve found all of mine before I start my grind

[queen ledge]

Anyone know why my multiplayer isn’t working it ain’t working for me or my friend

[grand harness]

Yes, you should

[grand harness]

They drink at practically every body of water including along the Sea to the South

[grand harness]

Are you both online?

[grand harness]

Emerald Coast is a must, Revontuli if you love fowl hunting (you can test that with the pheasant and geese on Hirsch and the turkey and duck on Layton), Spring Creek Manor or Saseka Safari depending on your taste in interior design, Weapon Pack 1 for the crossbows and Klasika small game gun, and the Modern Rifle pack if you plan on grinding. Happy hunting

[grizzled wagon]

When I equip my callers they don’t show in the weapon wheel

Only my antler rattler one does

[hidden basin]

Did you equip them into inventory slots/slots in the weapon wheel?

Open the in-game menu, go to Inventory, and you’ll probably see what I mean

[grizzled wagon]

Let me see

Oh my gosh yea oops

I haven’t played in forever thank you 🥲

[last hemlock]

Lol

[hidden basin]

It happens lmao

[last hemlock]

Prepare for sundarpatan

[last hemlock]

I see you checking the react

[grizzled wagon]

Yes definitely lol

[grizzled wagon]

Is that the new map?

[void frost]

I understand that but need a number 180 dz, 175 how many?

[icy dawn]

Am I losing my mind? Are the capercallie’s aggressive???

[spiral hull]

not enough information to answer question one, definite yes to question two 🐔

[icy dawn]

Wow

I never been on this map before

I WAS hunting a moose who hadn’t seen me. Heard some weird noises, and turn around an homeboy was staring me down. I literally said out loud “can I help you?”

Had my bird shot ready so I got a gold but still lol

[spiral hull]

capercaillie don't want to be left out of the barbecue

[golden marlin]

do beceite score high or low on the estimate?

[icy dawn]

When can I say

Maybe don’t square up against a girl when you’re 1kg and she has a 12ga

[spiral hull]

higher I guess? It's one of the more common level 4 diamonds

[golden marlin]

yeah ik they score diamond on 4

[grand harness]

I’ll check my map

[golden marlin]

this is perfect timing i just got a diamond beceite

[spiral hull]

it takes nearly a whole box of 12ga shells to weigh that much, maybe against a single shell he thought he had the advantage

[spiral hull]

did it score high or low in the estimate?

[golden marlin]

very high

4 away from the max

estimate

not score

[dawn shadow]

Is this a normal color?

[frail zodiac]

Yes

[dawn shadow]

Big oop what is the rare colors for pigs?

[frail zodiac]

Albino and pink

[dawn shadow]

Okay

[strong dome]

@dawn shadow download the COTW companion app! Anytime you want to know the rarity of any given fur type of any animal in the gameyou can get that info on your phone. Congrats on the diamond feral pig! I am still looking for one myself.
Here is a screenshot of the feral pig fur type rarity from the app.

[willow wing]

that app is outdated on the furs

[strong dome]

@willow wing How outdated? I've never found it to be unreliable.

[willow wing]

well it was taken off the apps store i believe

and they usually dont update apps that arent available to download

[strong dome]

Do you know why it was removed? If I look it up, it still pops up in google store

[willow wing]

i know its still on google idk why it isnt on the app store

[strong dome]

Oh I see. Idk why it is taken down for you. I hope they continue to update it because it's extremely useful.

[normal cosmos]

is it fine is I start my rev wt grind with 51 zones?

[grand harness]

Have you searched every body of water except the sea?

Because they drink just about everywhere

[pseudo sun]

Hi, just wondering if hunting pressure effects where ducks and geese will land? I just wanna be sure I can just have a spot to hunt them with decoys and callers without worrying about hunting pressure

[rare holly]

hello my problem is when i was on a map i cant see the missions

[broken swallow]

The hunting pressure affects the numbers of birds you will be generally seeing, Higher hunting pressure=less birds. I have my revontuli map setup where I have 3 duck spots and 1 goose so I can switch between all 3 whenever I feel like I want to specifically hunt a certain species.

Geese I have noticed this with heavily as it feels to be an issue when hunting them but with ducks I feel like they are less picky but the flocks will not be as large.

[burnt crater]

Hey, when I grind of a Dia. Is it more intelligent to shoot the big ones or the low ones. I mean when I shoot the low ones it's stacking, but is it faster and more effective then a normal grind?

[rain bane]

Hi guys, haven’t played in a while but I’m getting back in to it. I remember there used to be a spreadsheet with all the zone times and fur types etc. does that still exist?

[broken swallow]

Look up on google hunter cotw animal locations

[rain bane]

Will do thank a

[pseudo sun]

sweet tyvm :)

[last hemlock]

Shoot the big ones, preferably a level below max, stacking is for GO grinding only

[last hemlock]

Download cotw companion app for android if you have one

[rain bane]

I have an iPhone sadly

[last hemlock]

Might be on apple store, check it. Thought it wasn't though

[latent merlin]

its on there

this one also good

[rain bane]

I’ll check it out

Thanks everyone 🤙

[manic tusk]

OK dose anyone know if im just too tired to remember, but is there a way to get doc to shut up about tracks? I forgot just how freaking annoying he is every time he goes "you know, I spotted some tracks close to were your at right now ill send the coordinats " is there anyway to get him to shut up XD

[last hemlock]

No

[manic tusk]

Dam it XD he is so freaking annoying !

[burnt crater]

Ok, thx

[last hemlock]

It doesn't happen that much, idk why it's a problem. Maybe scan tracks often and he'll leave you be

Or shoot something

[manic tusk]

Idk he seems to hate me XD he goes off pretty often . Mabey it's just annoying since iv heard him say that one line so dang often right now as I replay through the story on Layton lol or I'm just super tired

[wicked cloud]

😦 any tips? this is "harvest the wounded reindeer" mission in Medved taiga

[last hemlock]

It's west of the cabin thing. Like 10 m away

[wicked cloud]

wounded reindeer is alive or standing in one place? Could you mark X on the image? I restarted the game after someone dm'd me so the position reset. But now I don't know where to start

i give up 😦

nvm no need.

well at least the game gave me this...

[last hemlock]

Game reset always resets mission animal positions

[iron notch]

Bit late but it spawned in the bush just beside the cabin and was super hard to see, but even if she flees she’ll still be spam calling.
I just spooked her so she was out of the bush and dinged her once she slowed

Don’t go at night, the wolves are all over that area

[wicked cloud]

That entire pink/purple color is a full wolf pack. None survived. ☠️ 😅

[iron notch]

I had the exact same thing happen to me bro

And a bear

[rain bane]

Hi everyone. What is the procedure to get respawns ie if I’ve shot deers in all my zones, do I just exit the game and change the time back to their drink time or what do I do

[dusk monolith]

What's a good spot on hirschfelden for red Deer tree stand bow hunting?

[dawn shadow]

So I can't find anything on the rarity of this coat color is it rare?

[dusk monolith]

I think it's just brown but idk I only have 4 days on the hunter of play time and am no pro in any way i could be wrong

[silk quarry]

As I've started to play I've learned that red Deer on hirsch are amazing at making money and rifle score

[silk quarry]

Uncommon

[dawn shadow]

Is it a newer color?

[silk quarry]

When fallow got a remaster it was added so when emerald coast dropped is how old it is

[dawn shadow]

Ah

[dark mortar]

is 52 zones enough to begin shooting on my first ever whitetail revontuli grind (first grind ever). i have been looking for over 18 hours of irl time over the course of the last few days and tried every trick in the book and i cant find any more.

[grand harness]

Yes

[dark mortar]

you sure? just been having many different views with some saying yes and some saying absalutely not so im really stumped

[grand harness]

If you know you’ve checked every whitetail drink spot, you can start

[dark mortar]

ok thanks

[grand harness]

If you want to do herd management, there are guides for that, but the gist is stack level ones on less productive zones and shoot the 2s and 3s

[dark mortar]

im doing herd management, well im gonna try doing it. just lady legend says their HAS to be more zones

i wish someone could help me look in case im being an idiot

i dont want my grind to mess up cause im missing zones and i know that can happen

[grand harness]

It can, but you’ve checked every possible place for them to drink, right?

[dark mortar]

yeah im 95 percent sure

[coral quail]

why i keep getting disconnected to multiplayer

[dark mortar]

could be cause of host leaving or bad connection or sometimes its completely random

[weak tide]

could some one tent out medved outposts for me? pc

[verbal pebble]

What levels of red deer should i keep and wich levels should i shoot for herd management

[lean ruin]

What should I do with the solos for fallow deer? I have stacked 3 diamonds and they tend to respawn smaller, but how can I get solo males to smaller levels, what should I do

[iron notch]

Are these two males rare coats or is this normal for em? Never shot or really seen boar and theyre at my red deer spot

[frail zodiac]

Those are both commons

These are the rares

[median plover]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kTG69dqpeYEnmcWYBI_Ez_4Fd8jc44g5WOJ3I_bLPig/edit#gid=1176886390
For fur types etc. Has each map. Some data on drink times I think is outdated but all the fur types should be good

[iron notch]

Alr ty

[hollow mantle]

Is there a release date for nepal reserve yet?

[frail zodiac]

That’s coming Tuesday

[hollow mantle]

Already? Oh alr, thx

[hazy barn]

The release date is coming Tuesday

[drifting yarrow]

ffs i just shot a poor red deer 4times in the foot. i was under the assumption that on 534m id need about 2 1/2 mildots for my moradi but no...its more like almost 3. sigh. i kept "resummoning" that poor thing for torture 🤣🤷‍♂️

xray was painful to watch...

tbf i hit the same spot on its foot four times so thats at least sth ?

ill get my chance aggain...

[bronze tiger]

Any weapon reccomendations to hunt classes 2 and 3?

[frail zodiac]

243

[drifting yarrow]

for 3 def the 44magnum 🤷‍♂️

[weak tide]

can some one tent out savvanna out posts im on pc btw

[sharp meadow]

if I play on multiplayer and other people join my game will they help me raise the level of the animals?

[left rivet]

ok im in a bit of a misunderstanding with a curtain species lol, so when i hunt mallards they dont land in the water with the decoys they land in the tall grass thats hard to see is there any tips on a better area of a place for these guys?

[frail zodiac]

They’ll kill things

[frail zodiac]

Waterfowl land into the wind so base your decoys off that

[left rivet]

my decoys are far in the water but they land on land over anything xD

[autumn heron]

it is possible to unzoom the map without using a mouse?

[sharp meadow]

yeah but will I get higher difficulty animals later? I heard you need to kill the animals to get them to spawn as higher level, if that's true will my friends be able to help me get higher dif animals later if they kill things?

[frail zodiac]

They could respawn bigger or smaller

[sharp meadow]

ohh they can also respawn smaller? I thought it's either same dif or better

[frail zodiac]

If they couldn’t respawn smaller then diamonds would be easy

[sharp meadow]

makes sense, so when starting on a new map do I still get the same levels as if I hunted a bunch of animals? Aka does hunting low lvl animals improve the overall chance of getting higher lvl animals? So far I'm barely managing to find lvl 4/5 with some 8 exceptions. Is this a skill issue or do I need to keep farming small lvls ?

[frail zodiac]

Shooting small levels wont force larger ones

[left rivet]

mix it up and go for both

[sharp meadow]

oh so the map will more or less always have the same number of lvl animals, right? So even when starting on a new map I technically still have the same chance of finding a diamond as if I playted 200h on that map?

[frail zodiac]

There are ways to force respawns larger or smaller but they take hundreds of kills to start implementing

[last hemlock]

whats the best loadout now to cover all classes? i use a loadout of .22LR, .243 and .300 magnum and it covers classes 1-9 with some difficulty with penning level 6s. I also dont know how to grind great ones

[frail zodiac]

My favorite loadout is the 22 virant, 243 pistol, 12 gauge cacciatore, 7mm malmer, and 300

[sharp meadow]

okk got it so I guess it's just a skill issue on my part haha. Gotta improve that. Thanks!

[last hemlock]

thats alot of weight

[frail zodiac]

I get that, 2 binos, and med kits without a backpack

And no pack mule

[last hemlock]

i use the ranger finder binoculars, then i carry 1 sight, tents, meds, odor blocks, and callers

plus ammo

[sharp meadow]

2 binos
why 2?

[frail zodiac]

Regular and night vision

[weak tide]

can some one tent out savvanna out posts im on pc btw

[fierce wave]

Bro you could done got them all in the time you asked last

[obtuse sluice]

"Pink" used to be a common a long time ago, I think?

[frail zodiac]

Uncommon maybe

[obtuse sluice]

well...more commonly spawning

that is what I meant

[broken swallow]

Use a 30-06 that’s currently the best gun in the game so using the m1 grand would be best if you want anything for 4-8

.243 is good for smaller game like foxes and lynx id say, I don’t tend to shoot deer with it anymore because there’s just easier options

[last hemlock]

with that though you need to carry a gun for level 9, and 1-3

[craggy steppe]

cuomo + drilling?

[last hemlock]

doesnt cover class 1

[craggy steppe]

it does?? the drilling has birdshot

[last hemlock]

not good for range

[craggy steppe]

well yeah but you have a scope for a shotgun

[last hemlock]

can it hit birds at 150m?

[craggy steppe]

75-ish metres?

which is prolly enough for upland birds

[last hemlock]

see with the 22lr you can shoot birds at 150m and they dont spook

so you can technically kill an entire flock

if youre patient enough to wait for their "alarmed" status to go back to nervous/calm, and then shoot again and they dont spook

[craggy steppe]

ahhh that makes sense

but what about those birds that need to be flying in order to be legit?

you’d prolly need shotguns for those

[last hemlock]

you can shoot them on the ground and get full score

it only counts as grounded if you spook them and they go into their flee animation

unless they changed that

[frail zodiac]

You can’t shoot them on the ground

[last hemlock]

ive shot them on the ground and got full score before

[frail zodiac]

Some birds you can, some you can’t

Quail, pheasant and ptarmigan need to be in the air

[last hemlock]

the capercaille, rock ptarmigans

ive shot grouse and theyve counted

so idk what goes on with that

[frail zodiac]

^^^

Grouse and capers don’t have grounded

[last hemlock]

weird

cause i eliminated an entire flock of rock ptarm and they all counted

[frail zodiac]

You’re confused cause ptarmigan can be grounded

[young belfry]

Pheasants,quail, & ptarmigans have to be flying to get full integrity

[last hemlock]

dunno what to say cause i clearly remember shooting them along the north western edge of the finland map, most of which were female which gave bronze, silver scores

[frail zodiac]

Sure they weren’t hazel grouse?

[last hemlock]

do they go up that far?

[frail zodiac]

Yes

They’re on the north 2/3

[last hemlock]

coudlve been then

map im looking at where i was has both spawns like next to eachother

[reef oak]

Should I just bite the bullet (pun intended) and start buying polymers?

I’ve been buying soft point because that’s closest to what I’ve always hunted with irl, and feels more realistic, but this is thehunter…

[frail zodiac]

Yes

[abstract warren]

Bro plays cotw for realism

[last hemlock]

ive never used soft points in this game since the beginning

they just dont perform as well as polymer

[pseudo sun]

Should i spread these geese decoys out more so the different species are in their own "groups"

[reef oak]

More or less everyone says that, I guess I’ve just been weirdly particular to this point lol

[last hemlock]

might be a good idea so you know what lands where instead of a giant clump of them

[pseudo sun]

right, my issue seesm to be i have 0 geese coming around? am i too close to the bad hunting pressure lol

[reef oak]

Maaan this switch is gonna make me want to start using this ugly olsson .308 again though because .308 polymer performs better and is cheaper than 7mm. Besides 7mm doesn’t quite have enough kick for most class 9s anyway imo

[last hemlock]

yeah

you gotta move and go kill stuff elsewhere

[pseudo sun]

Right

[last hemlock]

and that hunting pressure will clear up

[frail zodiac]

Geese aren’t effected by pressure either

[reef oak]

Man that is a lot of hunting pressure with a stand lol

Or duck blind rather

[pseudo sun]

Was laziness lmao

Shot 3 ducks

But yeah ducks are flying around but no geese,

[broken swallow]

Depends if you care to target those I generally don’t care to

[last hemlock]

ah thats what i said in the question

a loadout that covers all classes

1 to 9

wanted to know if there was a better option than what i had previously stated

3 guns max

[broken swallow]

.22, 338, 30-06, 243

[pseudo sun]

thats my general loadout i think

[broken swallow]

That’s what I use as well if I’m for some reason after big game

[last hemlock]

thats 4 guns

leaves you little room for callers

[broken swallow]

I can carry 30 something can you not?

[last hemlock]

no

[broken swallow]

Than your screwed unless you wanna use the drilling a 243 and a 22

[last hemlock]

i carry .22lr , .243 , .300 , binoculars, scope, ammo, a few callers if im not carrying a tent (if i am then only 2), odor block, and health pack

[broken swallow]

Imma be honest I rarely target classes 2-3 so I have no need for a gun in that level area

[last hemlock]

well i come prepared to target everything

id rather have the gun to take down a diamond when i see it

the only problem with my load out is shooting level 6 animals like red deer or wildebeast, hitting a lung is the only way i can kill and even with a lung hit it takes a while for them to die

[fierce wave]

12ga 22lr 22-250 and 7mm, ammo, Hyperion and shotgun scope, binoculars, and a tent is my loadout

[broken swallow]

lol I’ve been playing forever and shot so many diamonds don’t matter to me or give me the same feeling tbh unless there either A that huge or B there a rare fur type.

I generally use the side by side shotgun, bolt action 308, and the 300 because these are the 3 guns I need. I shoot whitetail with the 300 because I’d rather just get the kills over with and make them fast.

[broken swallow]

You won’t get geese at that island

[last hemlock]

i just really dont like using shot guns

i can aim at a bird in flight and nothing happens

[broken swallow]

Your duck spots also in a weird spot to me lol

[broken swallow]

You have to lead

https://youtu.be/UhOojcn0NfY?si=1Cjul8JOv8fhBH2R

[pseudo sun]

Ty! Was wondering bc I had 0 issue with ducks appearing even in the highest hunting pressure zone

And wym by weird 0:

[broken swallow]

I’ll show you

There’s a little peninsula

[last hemlock]

blegh

[broken swallow]

That will give you the coverage to call in every duck from just about every corner of that island

[broken swallow]

You’ll learn it takes time I love doing it irl

[fierce wave]

Not much though basically just have to aim just in front of the bird depending on how far it is

[pseudo sun]

Ok, I'll move some stuff there :)

[broken swallow]

There’s a lot of thought if the ducks are irratic tbh

Also the range

I shoot far

If I get them close to me it’s too easy I like a challenge

Which is also why I want a .410 lol

[fierce wave]

Yeah you have to practice a lot but once you do it enough you can do it automatically without even thinking

[broken swallow]

Pretty much

[last hemlock]

i love bird hunting in this game

my lodge is filled with blonde, melanistic mallards

teals, harlequins, etc

revontuli never gave me any good results sadly

[broken swallow]

I got a bunch of stuff from revontuli to me that’s been one of the better duck maps with numbers

[lyric plover]

Guys, I'm just stopping by to say just the assistant of the creator of the new map and the weapon that will be used to kill from 7 to 9 is really cool and the day it will be released is the 20th of this month so that's just to give you information. Thanks and I went

[reef oak]

After using the polymers for a few kills, so far the bleed rate as well as the tracking distance has been basically the same, maybe once I learn how to hit a double lung and heart shot that’ll change? But it’s not gonna be very common lol

[broken swallow]

I love it more than anything tbh I just wish there was more variety

[fierce wave]

20th is on a Thursday fyi

[broken swallow]

What gun?

[last hemlock]

hopefully we get some tropical birds

[broken swallow]

I’m not even talking about that

[reef oak]

I was using the malmer 7mm with soft point, now I’m using the olsson .308 with polymer

[broken swallow]

I want chuckars, sharp tailed grouse which I forget if they added them, prairie chicken, California quail, partridges, king quail like there’s so many birds they just haven’t added

With tropical/exotic i don’t see how they haven’t added guineas yet

[last hemlock]

oh

[broken swallow]

And omg you don’t know how pissed I am about the duck species

[craggy steppe]

soft points are better for if you can get broadsides imo

frontal shots, better off by far with polys

[reef oak]

Yeah the 7mm with soft points definitively would have put down the one I just shot quicker. I’ll have to see if I hit the second lung though, if not then it makes sense

[craggy steppe]

(source: me using softies in the 9.3mm)

[broken swallow]

Where’s the f is my pintail where is my wood ducks where is my gadwall where is my spoonbills

There’s so many KINDS of ducks

I’d love to even see buffleheads

Like it’s sad

Wood ducks are beautiful

And should be highlighted at some point in the future hopefully for that

[reef oak]

I’ve been using soft point with the .308/7mm for badsically all of my 320 total harvests (not that many ik lol) and have only have maybe a dozen or so times where I’ve hit and done nothing because of low penetration

[last hemlock]

loons

[broken swallow]

That’s illegal can’t kill those

[last hemlock]

:(

[reef oak]

I see the appeal of polymers making way more angles viable, but with a double lung polymer, the bleed rate is the same as a single lung soft point

[broken swallow]

There under the migratory bird act

[last hemlock]

can you get heart shots with soft points?

[craggy steppe]

... no

not really

generally you need polymers at close-ish range at those

[last hemlock]

yeah

[reef oak]

I’ve gotten incredibly close before, would be possible at unrealistic ranges

[last hemlock]

you can get heart shots with polymers at quite a distance

[reef oak]

Besides, I don’t really care about the “cool” factor of heart shots when I end up tracking them an extra 2-300m because I was going for cool

[craggy steppe]

heart shots are great if you can get them tho

[last hemlock]

yeah

no tracking

its instant drop lol

[reef oak]

So far every hit I’ve landed has resulted in at least an extra 100m of tracking

[craggy steppe]

tbf some animals can get insta dropped without heart shots

[reef oak]

But rocky elk are p notorious for being squirmy and that does not help

[craggy steppe]

like whitetail

close-range lung shots with 4-8 rifles or slugs

[last hemlock]

they run like 6 meters at most

[craggy steppe]

yeah it's great

though admittedly a 50-ish metre heart shot on a red deer stag is just

oh my

[reef oak]

I mean I spent like 20k on polymers so I plan on using at least quite a bit more with them, but so far my experience has surprisingly been worse lmao

[last hemlock]

plop

night night

[craggy steppe]

YEAH

literally

[last hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/a-mimir-gif-21449019

OUG

stinky

[craggy steppe]

tbh the pen on 9.3 polymers is really sick though

heart shot on euro bison at 100m through the scapula and lung

[reef oak]

Mfw fail to embed lmao oof

[last hemlock]

i think the channel does not allow embed

or

embed fail

[reef oak]

Ooh scrolling up it doesn’t look like embed is enabled

[last hemlock]

imma try to hunt ducks and stuff on revontuli i suppose

i dont have the stand tho

[reef oak]

I should probably set up something else to hunt other than elk before I burn myself out but man I might be too lazy for that already lmao

[craggy steppe]

puma maybe?

it's cathartic to put bullets in them because then they shut up

[last hemlock]

ive never had good luck hunting elk in this game

its a shame theyre so pretty but i can never find diamonds

[craggy steppe]

which elk look better tho

roosevelt or rocky mountain

[last hemlock]

roosevelt

[reef oak]

I like the rocky ones better but the roosevelts are larger

[craggy steppe]

okay yeah rocky mountain have this weird derpy face

[craggy steppe]

god roosevelts need a model update ngl

[reef oak]

Yeaaaah that was kind of my opinion

[craggy steppe]

I think their models are as old as blacktail, aka in sore need of an update

literally compare blacktail with whitetail, and it's obvious which of the two deer is the favored sibling

[last hemlock]

They are more or less

For antlers

[reef oak]

Alr I got my first heart shot and they are satisfying lmao

Head on at 230m

[last hemlock]

@broken swallow any tips for hunting birds on revontuli on the island?

[broken swallow]

I’ll show you the same thing I showed motnu lol

Where do you hunt them?

I assume the same place as me possibly but idk

Generally you only need 1 spot on the island

The calls reach 500m

And ducks are constantly flying

But I hunt them on this peninsula which allows me to just call them from everywhere

[last hemlock]

i set up there

using a water blind

think i put the decoys too close

[broken swallow]

Oh that’s weirdddd😂

I don’t use those but I think there cool

I hunt with a group of friends time to time

[last hemlock]

i dont have the hunting stand

[broken swallow]

Decoys are on both sides

[last hemlock]

hmm

i need the tripod DLC

[broken swallow]

I wouldn’t even use that to duck hunt lol but I’d say the tripod dlc is nice

[last hemlock]

what shotgun?

[broken swallow]

10G

It’s the best

Can’t beat it

[last hemlock]

dont have it

:(

[broken swallow]

For you then probably the caciator

[fierce wave]

cacciatore my friend exists and wants a word

[broken swallow]

Cacciatores irons are trash compared to the new 10g which is pretty similar to what I’d use in real life and I get more pellets and I can shoot farther

The 12G ain’t beating a 10G

[last hemlock]

10g is a dlc weapon yeah?

[broken swallow]

Yep

And I bought it instantly

@fierce wave I really just want a true over under I’m not gonna lie

I hate the stupid fricken rail on the gamekeeper

It’s stupid

[fierce wave]

i only use the scope so i cant judge them but the 2 extra shots with almost same shooting speed +slugs being 4-8 and tmk they both have 48 pellets in birdshot

[fierce wave]

yesssssss

[reef oak]

Oh my god

I just got a moving heart shot on an elk at 210yds

[broken swallow]

Noice

[broken swallow]

It’s nice but I don’t use scopes lol if I did I’d say the same as you, the red raptor reflex with that thing is cheating

I’m currently trying to shoot ducks and my house is freezing

[last hemlock]

@broken swallow which weapon pack is it

[broken swallow]

The newest

The high caliber one

[reef oak]

Man you don’t even know how satisfying that was lmao, he got spooked by a mountain lion that just ran off probably 20 elk on me and I still got a heart shot on the biggest of the bunch

[broken swallow]

Which also gives you the semi auto 300

[last hemlock]

is the semi auto 300 same as the .300?

[broken swallow]

Ik how that feels lol id be thankful tbh

[last hemlock]

same class?

[broken swallow]

Yes

It’s 300 win mag

Omg

Changing the gun doesn’t change caliber lol

[last hemlock]

geez

sounds nice

[broken swallow]

I use it to white tail grind

Idc for the little guys I just want a big buy

I don’t recommend ever using that on a deer irl though 😂

[last hemlock]

half the deer gone

[reef oak]

Well there are multiple .300 calibers irl obviously, but cotw doesn’t exactly make a habit of using those, they’re usually all just the same standard

But yeah uh, .300 win is like .30-06 on steroids lmao, .30-06 is even a tad overkill for whitetail

[broken swallow]

@fierce wave

[broken swallow]

Nope which I hate

[reef oak]

Yeah it would be cool to have like a .300 blk zarza AR or something for hogs 😈

[broken swallow]

Ik, I had a buddy of mine tell me it was fine for them and I told him to burn a tag on shooting a deer with it and let’s just say the exit hole was a bit excessive

[fierce wave]

[broken swallow]

Dude that’d be kickass

[reef oak]

I would go wild buying the night hunt pack if they had something like that

[broken swallow]

Or 450 bushmaster

[broken swallow]

They have a night pack it’s just useless

I wish I could get a massive barrel of apples and vinegar and corn and dump it in an field and wait

I want to make this clear it is legal to bait them in Texas they are pests here

[reef oak]

I’ve gone out with buddies further south than me on hog hunts and man what 4 ARs firing tracers from a Polaris can do lmao

[broken swallow]

😂😂😂

Nah dude a cage and some tanerite or you and your buddies in the back of a pickup with ars and lasers lol

There’s videos I’m not gonna post a link because it’s terrible lol but some dudes used a 50 and than an m134

Just BRRRRR and piggies go bye bye

[reef oak]

I think I’ve probably seen some of it, I remember watching someone using a m134 lol, I’ve seen people go as far as to bring helicopters with mounted m134s on them like they’re deploying troops to Afghanistan lmao

[broken swallow]

😂

Generally when I see people using helicopter they use shotguns with buck or ar’s with a red dot and incredibly don’t miss

Probably my fav setup

[last hemlock]

there i got the gun pack and tripod pack @broken swallow

[broken swallow]

Your life will become easier from here now on

[reef oak]

Which gun pack? The tripod pack is unquestionably worth it

[broken swallow]

My entire bag weighs 0.1 from being over

[broken swallow]

High caliber

[last hemlock]

^

the semi auto 300 is like awesome as hell

i already use the .300 magnum

so why not get the semi auto version lol

and the 10 gauge shot gun

is any of the dlc im missing worth it? (mississippi, rancho, n.e.m., te awaroa)

[broken swallow]

If you ever get the chance

[last hemlock]

and the other gun packs

[broken swallow]

All of those tbh

You can do away with misisppi if you want

[last hemlock]

wow i just realised i never had the european rabbit redeemed LMAO

[broken swallow]

But I love te awora

That’s the best red deer map

And fallow to me

[last hemlock]

i love fallow

are the dogs worth it?

[thin arch]

hey guys! i was wondering if a loadout using the 7mm, 223 and 12 gauge shotgun is any good? (all base game btw)

[broken swallow]

Not really unless you want the bird dog

[broken swallow]

Does it work for you?

If it does

Than it’s good

The 30-06 would be better than that 7mm but that’s a dlc

[reef oak]

I wish the .30-06 wasn’t map attached (if I remember right)

[thin arch]

i haven't tried the 223 on anything yet but other than that yeah its good

[broken swallow]

The 223 is truthfully terrible

I would never use it

[thin arch]

is the 45-70 any good?

[thin arch]

oh lol

[broken swallow]

Terrible for far shots which make sense

I wouldn’t use 45-70 unless you wanted to just have fun

[thin arch]

i mean i only want it for a smaller game so

[broken swallow]

243 would be best

[thin arch]

hmm ok

[reef oak]

The .243 can shoot class 2 as well, and goes all the way up to 6 instead of just 2-4

[thin arch]

ik but i was wanting to have the 7mm that does 4-9 and something that only does smaller game, the 223 seemed like a good choice

[broken swallow]

You are correct

[last hemlock]

@broken swallow rancho looks neat, reminds me of red dead redemption new austin area

te awaroa looks a bit bland?

[broken swallow]

It has good white tail hunting

[reef oak]

Well the .243 kind of just performs better than the .223 and also goes as low so unless you’re specifically wanting to use it the .243 is just generally better

[broken swallow]

It’s not I promise you

[last hemlock]

id be most interested in the pheasent

[thin arch]

what i want to do is create a universal loadout for anything i want to hunt with all base game weapons

[broken swallow]

Did you delete something that mentioned 7mm?

[broken swallow]

Than 7mm

[reef oak]

Nah I hadn’t brought it up

[thin arch]

and what else? i cant shoot everything with that

[broken swallow]

I care for whether or not my guns going to over perform the others and how well it will shoot, I target a specific species and hunt it.

[reef oak]

I was about to say that the 7mm is very nice, but imo, I don’t like it too much for class 9 game. Although it’s perfectly capable

[reef oak]

Not everything, you’d need a bow or shotgun with bird shot to hit class 1 properly

[last hemlock]

22lr / birdshot shotgun , .243 , and class 7-9 (.300)

[reef oak]

The .223 and .243 are both not proper for class 1 animals

[broken swallow]

I’m sorry I got confused king your class if you wanna hit all checkpoints for every class is perfect than, I just care to over perform and use the best caliber suited for the job.

[thin arch]

base game weapons only

[reef oak]

Just an fyi

[last hemlock]

the .22LR is

[reef oak]

Yeah I wish I had bought a dlc with it tbh

[thin arch]

ik ill use a shotgun

[last hemlock]

hmm idk

[reef oak]

I find it annoying that you have to unlock class 1 arrows

So you want me to use birdshot on a rabbit. What.

[broken swallow]

Imma be honest I own every dlc because I have been playing since the games only map was Layton and hirchenfielden so slowly the dlcs built up lol and I bought every new one that came out

[thin arch]

so would the shotgun, .243 and .338 be better?

[broken swallow]

Do you wanna shoot birds or rabbits

Or both

[thin arch]

if i can ye

[broken swallow]

Because tbh

Here’s my thing

I’m really good with shotguns

So id take that shotgun over the 22

If your good with rifles

I’d stick with the 22

[thin arch]

22? (sorry im dumb)

[broken swallow]

22

[thin arch]

what is that?

[reef oak]

There’s no base game .22lr sadly

[broken swallow]

I think this class setup is best for you tbh

[reef oak]

I seriously wish there was

[broken swallow]

Pfffft

Okay

I feel stupid

[thin arch]

OH ok that makes sense i was confused

[reef oak]

I thought so too but I only found the .223

[broken swallow]

Yes king use the shotgun, 243 and 338

[thin arch]

darn i guess i got the wrong weapons then XD

[last hemlock]

@broken swallow what other weapon packs are worth it? is there an semi auto .243?

[broken swallow]

You do😭

You so do😭

[thin arch]

i got the .223 and 7mm lol

[broken swallow]

Guys let me be honest for me

[reef oak]

If you want more oomph on medium end animals you could add the 7mm once you can carry it, or you could bring buckshot shells and get closer for class 2-4 carrying the 7mm instead of the .243

Although I have hunted all the way up to 6 with the .243 and it is very capable with good shots

[broken swallow]

The 308 and 30-06 work best for rifles for medium game for large game 300wm is the way to go for small game 22,243, and shotgun.

[broken swallow]

I wish he could have a 30-06

[thin arch]

does the .270 work in a universal loadout or nah

[broken swallow]

King when you get a paycheck buy that dlc 😂

[last hemlock]

i remember when the solokhin was godly

[thin arch]

which one?

[broken swallow]

It’d work better than that 243

[reef oak]

I wish I could too lmao, I didn’t wanna buy the map (whichever one it was) I chose certain ones off the list for the variety they had because of my budget but only have 2 dlc maps and like, 2-3 accessory dlcs?

[broken swallow]

Smoking barrel would give you the m1 grand
