[somber bough]

i’m trying to setup farms but tents and stands are expensive

i have yukon silver ridge peaks rancho parque vurhonga

[brazen gale]

I don’t have this touch

[somber bough]

wait do i need to install all of the free dlc’s or will they just be active already

[sly gull]

they will be active

[somber bough]

oh good

do all the dogs do the same things

[fossil finch]

supressors when?

[sly gull]

No

[somber bough]

is there any dog that can track and retrieve

[sly gull]

You can combine them

[somber bough]

so any dog?

[sly gull]

You can just use bow or air rifle

There is one that can follow blood track, Labrador that can retrieve small animals after you kill them and pointer that can help you find animals

And you can put on any of these dogs second job of any other dog

[somber bough]

oh

do i just need 1 dcl

dlc

or all

[sly gull]

You need to own both

[somber bough]

okay

so if i want to track and retrieve i get labrador and the bloodhound right

[sly gull]

Yes

[somber bough]

okay

ducks are pretty good for money right

or should i do smth else.

thinking of getting some dlc's so i can grab some money

[sly gull]

I mean it's alright

I'd just blast some animals lol

[fossil finch]

how big of a game can an air rifle take out?

[sly gull]

Money is usually not the issue

[sly gull]

2-4, but I have been hunting bears with it

[somber bough]

i have been but i need 32k for each setup for whitetail

[sly gull]

If you want to set up grind yeah, that's pretty expensive

Maybe try just blasting Crocodiles and Banteng?

They pay decent amount

[somber bough]

dont have that map

oh i can go multiplayer

[sly gull]

Yeah

[somber bough]

whats some good areas for them

and weapons

and where do i shoot themn even

[sly gull]

East coast

[sly gull]

Any 7-9 is gonna be decent

[somber bough]

i dont think i have any

can i get one at lv 9

[sly gull]

Crocodiles neck if possible, Banteng lung or hearth

[sly gull]

Crocodile is level 8, Banteng level 9

Class

Mb

I am tired lol

[somber bough]

what time do i go for crocs

[sly gull]

Doesn't really matter, I heard that the best during the afternoon because Banteng are drinking

[somber bough]

on mississipi acres right

or

wrong

[narrow fractal]

Mississippi has alligators and Australia has crocodiles

[sly gull]

Yeah, but Mississippi is much worse for money

[blissful jasper]

Where is best spot to hunt Eastern Wild Turkeys in Mississippi Acres

[tranquil tundra]

anywhere there's an open field

[narrow fractal]

I like doing Australia on the top right coast and set the time to hunt 16:00 for money

[tranquil tundra]

Acres also has turkeys. Turkey flocks are good payout

[somber bough]

trying to find an australia server with tents 😭

[sly gull]

I mean yeah, but EC is just more consistent

[tranquil tundra]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[blissful jasper]

ok

[somber bough]

ty

theres literally none

💀

[tranquil tundra]

means no one's looking to host a game rn

try again later

[fossil finch]

that's kinda low ngl

[sly gull]

I mean it's an air rifle, what do you expect

[heavy moon]

If I’m grinding red deer and I don’t pick up my deer I kill does it do anything

[fossil finch]

you've got more capable air rifles irl, so i was expecting something upwards of class 6 or 7

there are no sights for the alexander longbow right?

[somber bough]

well it’s dead

so i’d hope not

[solid rock]

how many phesant group zones 8 to 11 should i have on salwiezen

[sly gull]

Yeah, there are none

[fossil finch]

it's ok, i just completed the 10 heart shots that i needed for it lol

[bitter drum]

do you get decent small game guns with the new map?

[nimble smelt]

nope

[sly gull]

You get somehow usable shotgun for class 1

[bitter drum]

ah fairs thank you

[sly gull]

You are better using that one from base game ngl

[bitter drum]

oh ive been using a certain rifle but finding it impossible to shoot ducks out of the sky with it

[cyan river]

Yeap, shotgun is the only way to shoot flying birds.

[whole canopy]

How does stacking help in a g1 herd management

[somber bough]

so my dog is barking and it says harvest found but theres nothing here

it mayh or may not havcve been 3 feet behind me

[stray current]

How the heck does your game look like that. I have everything set to ultra and nothing even looks remotely like that.

[midnight quarry]

That just looks like ultra to me, could it be the lens flare that has you confused?

[nimble smelt]

helps spawn lower levels in your exteriors

[proven garden]

Please help someone

[stray current]

Possibly? Idk looks almost ray traced

[hard vault]

Is this piebald? Need an answer quickly

[sly gull]

How are we supposed to know from this image

Could be just grass

[hard vault]

Idk that's why I asked

[sly gull]

Also pie is not rare for them

[hard vault]

Ah ok I'll get a male then lol

[nimble smelt]

huh?

what would getting a male change lol

[sly gull]

He probably saw male and this female, if female will be rare he'd shoot her, now he will shoot male instead

Ig

[hard vault]

Yeah

[vocal coyote]

What gender and how much do I need to shoot for a diamond Cannada goose

[sly gull]

It's just luck based

And male

[vocal coyote]

Diamonds are always males, right?

[sly gull]

No

Depends about what species

For most it's just males tho

[vocal coyote]

I’ve only shot one diamond Canada goose, but didn’t know it was diamond so I sold it

Anyone can help me shoot a diamond in here?

[last hemlock]

So i am doing my first grind on red deer and i got a zone with only 2 stags and no does. Should i consider it a solo zone?

[turbid inlet]

Equip in your inventory, that happens to me on Xbox sometimes. Restarting the game fixes it too

[latent cedar]

just a good spot. The lens flare was a nice treat. unless you're talking about the rest of the surrounding graphics

[stray current]

I’ll have to take a look when I log in next, what map was it and where were you lol.

[latent cedar]

Te Awaroa

[latent cedar]

another one from Te, but this one I edited slightly

[stray current]

I’ll buy it just to see it

[latent cedar]

all the maps have some amazing views.

lemme see what else I can find

Te - still looking for my old stuff

Emerald Coast

[last hemlock]

I agree, happy to find someone else that takes a lot of photos

Do you have any of revontuli coast?

[latent cedar]

Moose Map

[latent cedar]

I dabbled in photography in the past. It's a hobby that I decided to give away but I still have a deep appreciation for good scenery

[hazy snow]

o/ Long time Lurker, short term question.

Is there like.. a note pad or any custom markers that I can add to my map or will this require an irl pad of paper/ sticky note.

[nimble smelt]

nope

[hazy snow]

Tragic, Thank ya. o7

[spark basalt]

Good ol stick notes still 😦

[latent cedar]

Unless you count blinds/tripods, etc but many content creators have maps that have custom markers that are edited on pc

[hazy snow]

lmao @devs pretty pls I kid I kid

[somber bough]

just spent like 4k on changing times because my whitetail aren’t coming to their zones at my lakes, can anyone help 😭

my tent is like 230m away

[somber bough]

i’m just gonna move on… if there’s only 1 male on a whitetail herd do i leave it

[nimble smelt]

yes

[royal nacelle]

chat what's the best gun for dropping white tails that u can scope

[somber bough]

m1

is good

.308 is fun too

[somber bough]

the AR .308 i was talking about** not tried others

[mossy oracle]

308 ar or m1 or any gun in there class for neckshotz and heart shots

[royal nacelle]

Mhm ty

[somber bough]

i mean you drop them instantly with double lung on most 4-7 weapons

[past crest]

if you start a new game does it keep your lodges

[frail zodiac]

Yes

[warped jackal]

good evening, May I get feedback on my 2 missed shots, on two spotted animals, a mouflon and a Ibex it is how I miss I do not quite understand, & need a 2nd opinion on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82qVnwvWEY0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtp0TTlZrmQ

[nimble smelt]

you didn't hit any organs

[warped jackal]

I think the way aligned it up was to the organs, right??

[nimble smelt]

you aimed to high

that was at most a spine shot

[warped jackal]

shouldn't my dog track blood even If i did hit? there was no blood to be found...

[nimble smelt]

then you just completely missed

[warped jackal]

yeah thx... Why tho because I feel like on the one on the mouflon my aiming was dead on, Ibex Idk I felt for sure, I am not a veteran at this game

[nimble smelt]

seems like you didn't adjust for zeroing

[warped jackal]

cool alright

[crimson sierra]

Is there “flock” management with the water fowl? I’m currently set up the coast map with all of the different decoys out. And they just never stop coming. Is every flock that lands random? Or is there a way of managing it? I’m not in a zone or anything

[nimble smelt]

no way of managing down waterfowl since you need to kill the whole flock for respawns

[crimson sierra]

I thought so

I’m just confused on how the deadlines don’t affect them at all

[stark glade]

Can someone help me

How to open the item wheel in this game?

[somber bough]

you don’t

it’s just like a hot bar

u press 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

for each slot

[crimson sierra]

Hold up on the d pad if you’re on console

[stark hornet]

What does each point on the crossbow scope represent as in meters

[nimble smelt]

test n find out

[modest cove]

what does cutro colling give u after u do all the missions like any animals

??

[nimble smelt]

couple of mission exclusive wolves

[modest cove]

like fur type

[nimble smelt]

yes

[modest cove]

true do u know what parky gives u

i mean emerold

emerolds coast

[nimble smelt]

nothing

[cosmic blaze]

For tahr how many feed zone times should I use?

[nimble smelt]

at the least 8

[cosmic blaze]

So if I set up on the 4-7 it would be okay or do I need to find all the other two feed times as well?

[nimble smelt]

no you're fine with just one feed time

no reason to find the rest

[neat cobalt]

For diamond Tigers is it best to just shoot all or just males?

[nimble smelt]

just males

[finite ore]

Yo anyone got tips or things that are more advanced that I need to know for the tahr grind like how many zones I should rotate on and other things

[long ice]

3

Jk

Idk

[fiery field]

any tips on tiger drinking zone times

[blissful jasper]

anyone know good gun for tiger, deer or bear hunting

can be dlc

[proper raven]

.300 the one you get free for tiger

[blissful jasper]

ok

[proper raven]

also for bear

[hoary patio]

.300 canning mag or .300 ar

[last hemlock]

mag

[cyan river]

Actually depends on your zeroing. On max zeroing - 60m, each point add 20m. So lowest one allowe to shoot on 100m pretty reliable.

[cyan river]

Yo do realise that weapon wheel can be opened by pressing scroll wheel on your mouse.
This allows you to change optic and ammo type on the fly, by pressing "E" and "Q".

[cyan river]

Press middle mouse button.

[cyan river]

Last map added 2, so it's 8 in total now.

[last hemlock]

"Did ya have fun hunting it? Then it was a Great One"

:P

[cyan river]

https://thehuntercotw.fandom.com/wiki/Great_One

[somber bough]

oh

i didn’t know that

[astral orbit]

Do animals despawn or are they in the map till u shoot them ?

[cyan river]

Every player has it's own population of animals. Somewhere around 2000 on each map.
It generates only once on your first map launch.

[cyan river]

So basically all animal will remain on your map until you shot them.
Every male will respawn as male.
Every female will respawn as female.
Global amount of animals will remain the same.

Or may be a level 7😈

Yeap that is main idea of herd management. Animals will spawn again approximately the same. So can can basically select where to force spawn it again.

[astral orbit]

So I lost a tier 5 elk today does it spawn on the same spot as the day I saw him or can he be all around the map ?

[cyan river]

Depends on what you mean on lost?
You kill him or he just go away?

[cyan river]

You can track it using footprints. Or sleep till next day and he will come back.

[cyan river]

Actually if you spook your target it will force animal herd to go to next need zone earlier.

[cyan river]

If you kill your Yak, it will respawn in approximately 15 minutes or after exit to main menu near it's herd. But most likely it will be only lvl 4.

[sterile meteor]

If you did not kill him he should go back to his zone, exept you have deleted the zone by to much hunting pressure. (if you did deletebthe zone, the zone respawn somewhere else. If you did kill him the male should respawn in the same herd (if he was in one) if hebwas not in a her(solo zone) he will respawn with his zone somewhere elso on the map.
If you didnt have the zone where he is in, go look in the same location and around it at the same time you saw him.

Or a 7 or 6 or 5 and so on. Tge respawns sre mostly RNG exept if you are doing herd management.

[somber bough]

i lost a pied whitetail but deleted the zone…

do i just go to the next lake

or could it be any random lake

[cyan river]

Each herd has 6 need zones. Animals usualy don't travel extremely long distances between need zones. You deleted only one, it shouldn't be too far away. My guess somewhere around 1km radius.

[somber bough]

so is this 6 drink zones

or 6 need zones, one of each (rest feed drink etc)

[cyan river]

Depend on map and animal. But specific Whitetail has only 1 drink zone per day.

[native ore]

i need a high damage rifle for class 4+

which one should i get? i hope theres a 3-6 or 4-7 weapon or something

[cyan river]

Steam guides has pretty detailed info about amunition.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388880444

[native ore]

ty

[native ore]

theres so many but they all have bad accuracy which one do you reccomend?

[cyan river]

.308 or 7mm

[native ore]

zarza .308?

[cyan river]

If you refer to Accuracy stat in Weapon description. It actually missleading. You always has 100% accuracy, but this stat refer on scope wobbling.

[cyan river]

Yeap

[native ore]

yeah the scope wobbling i find annoying i like accurate weapons

[somber bough]

could u help me find him? 😭

idk how to find rest and feed zones

[cyan river]

Be exploring the map in different time of day.

[somber bough]

could you help if i open up a multi player

[cyan river]

Unfortunately i'm currently playing with my friend =(

[somber bough]

okie dokie no worries let me know if you want to later

[lusty summit]

Hello friends, I have a question related to birds, specifically ducks and geese, why don't ducks and geese land when there are multiple players near the setup? When i play alone ewerithing is ok

[cyan river]

Welp, you actually answered your own question.

Multiplayer is not stable in this game.

[lusty summit]

IS there any solution to fix that problem?

[cyan river]

Hunt ducks in separate parts of map.

[cyan river]

At least 400m away from each other.

[fallow scaffold]

Does the night light make it easier for game to see you?

[frail zodiac]

No

[snow maple]

What gun should i use for white tail deer arzyna 300 or zarza 308

[willow wing]

308

[snow maple]

and 300 for moose and bear?

[willow wing]

yup

[snow maple]

okay

[somber bough]

😭

ive had no luck at all

spent a fortune on rewinding th time

[cyan river]

Just explore the map, complete other quest. Don't force yourself. it will show up eventually.

[somber bough]

is the other reserve better for whitetail

not layton

the other one i forgot its name

revontuli

[tribal ledge]

revontuli is nice

[somber bough]

im finding layton to have really dense foliage

[tribal ledge]

lookit all those possible locations

[somber bough]

making it difficult for me to find my zones

[tribal ledge]

its all the reeds. Laytons just fuzzy and the reeds are all the height of the deer haha

[somber bough]

yeah its so annoying 😭 and also the fact that 90% of the zones are at places where u gotta take a huge detour to cross the lake

[somber bough]

but this seems a little nicer

[tribal ledge]

yeah, most of them are fairly visible - the lakes on rev aren't reed choked

[somber bough]

cool. whtas the best way of unlocking all my outposts? i ahve 4x4 but that still takes a good amount of time

[tribal ledge]

might ask in #🦌︴find-a-game if anyone would be willing to tent-hop you to outposts

can be unlocked in like 15 mins (generous take, given load screens and tent deployment time)

[somber bough]

ive tried that a few times with a different map, but no luck, ill have a look though! thanks!!

oooo rev is a expensive one

golly

[tribal ledge]

mind you're also buying off sale

[somber bough]

lol true... to late anyway

[empty dust]

is there a whitetail one for layton lakes

[empty dust]

thank you

[empty dust]

what is the avg zone count for layton

like water zones for whitetail

[summer panther]

I have been playing for hours today and I’ve not found a single bird I’m also switching between multiple spots that usually are filled with geese but there has been nothing I have decoys and a caller idk what I’m doing wrong

[eternal mural]

what map?

[eternal mural]

you might have SEVERELY deadzoned the area,

once you kill a crap otn of ducks in an area they just stop coming to that area, the same way that hunting pressure affects other animals,

What I recommend doing is opening up 2 BLINDS instead of one that are at a distance from eachother.

If ducks stop showing at one blind, head to other and so fourth

[summer panther]

Hershfelden

[summer panther]

I’ve tried I’ve traveled most of the map and have not seen or herd a single goose but other animals show up

[fading iron]

best animal to grind for money on layton and/or hirsch?

[lyric hollow]

Could someone please help me get a diamond beciete ibex it's the best one I need for the grand slam

*last not best

[vocal coyote]

Do you shoot male or female to spawn a diamond Cannada goose?

[tranquil tundra]

Male

[vocal coyote]

What happens if you shoot a female?

@tranquil tundra

[tranquil tundra]

Well. With birds, you kinda need to wipe the entire flock to get respawns, so

[frail zodiac]

You have to shoot females or males won’t respawn

[tranquil tundra]

females are bonus money

[vocal coyote]

So you can just shoot female and male to spawn the diamond?

[tranquil tundra]

You have to in order to get respawns

[vocal coyote]

I’ve only shot one diamond goose and didn’t know how I got it

[tranquil tundra]

that is honeslty how my first diamond went

[vocal coyote]

How much diamond you shot in total?

[tranquil tundra]

given the amount of times I have reset my save, I have long since lost count

I'm. actually going to have to go through all my trophy posts here at some point to try to get a measure of it, now that I'm thinking about it...

[vocal coyote]

Do ducks or goose care about dead zone pressure?

[tranquil tundra]

They are the outliers in that if you have decoys, they don't care about HP at all

[nimble smelt]

@tranquil tundra

[tranquil tundra]

yeah I saw it in general

[vocal coyote]

Can you hunt Cannada goose in water?

[nimble smelt]

yeah

[tranquil tundra]

you can, but it's much easier to do it in the fields

[vocal coyote]

Witch map?

I’m doing it in hirchfeldeb rn

[tranquil tundra]

Hirsch or Revontuli

ah, or Yukon

[vocal coyote]

Which one is better?

[tranquil tundra]

I keep forgetting they're on Yukon

honestly, Hirsch imo

[vocal coyote]

Shotgun or .22?

[tranquil tundra]

there's a preset ground blind near an outpost on the north corner of the map that I legit drop the e-caller in front of and then just call them in to bowhunt

Shotgun if using a blind, .22 if picking them off one or two at a time from a distance

[vocal coyote]

So top right of the map?

[tranquil tundra]

yeh, though you could honestly use any of the fields in the east half of the map

[vocal coyote]

I just hunt on the bottom

My flocks are getting smaller and smaller bruh

[tranquil tundra]

yep, because they don't respawn until you completely erase a flock

[vocal coyote]

Do more decoys bring them faster?

?

[polar trail]

I think more decoys just increases the chance they break and land, not the speed of they come in, but I could be wrong

[tranquil tundra]

with decoys, you'll have an endless supply of geese coming in

[nimble smelt]

20 decoys is the max amount you should have

[tranquil tundra]

honestly you can get away with just using 9

that's how many I use

[nimble smelt]

any more it's just a waste since max efficiency is 20

[foggy wing]

best dlc map?

(in your opinion ofc)

[tranquil tundra]

Cuatro's always going to be one of my top faves. EC's pretty high on that list too, as is Te

special mention to Medved because the warden of that map is hilarious, and Revontuli is a very pretty map

[vocal coyote]

How do I get my attraction bar up for my goose decoys?

[fierce wave]

just use 20 decoys

[eternal mural]

I mostly see them on the bottom half

[eternal mural]

white tail

[eternal mural]

once you kill a ton in a spot they do

[royal walrus]

Yall know why there are no males at my lake?

[vocal coyote]

Is it better with the golden retriever to hunt goose or no?

[wet glacier]

where do i find these maps, i need one for whitetail on revontuli

[nimble smelt]

pro xck's server

[nimble smelt]

yes

[wet glacier]

is that a discord server? if so do you have a link?

[nimble smelt]

should be in his yt channel

[wet glacier]

alright thanks ill check it out

[cosmic blaze]

@nimble smelt u up?

[solar gulch]

Anyone had an issue with equipping huntermate on PC? I suddenly can't bring it up at all. I tried rebinding it to other keys too, thinking my tab broke but nope. My keyboard is just fine.

[karmic herald]

Mind*

[karmic herald]

[idle vessel]

[finite saddle]

How many zones should i find before starting my fallow grind on te awora?

[hollow aurora]

All of them

[finite saddle]

So how many

[hollow aurora]

All

Of

Them

[somber bough]

how do u know when u got all of them

u just go around each lake at drink times

?

[finite saddle]

So how many zones is all of them 30?

40?

50?

[cyan river]

Actually a hard question.
40-120 dependong on animal and map.
Unfortunately have no idea what exact amount of drink zones in Awaroa.

[finite saddle]

120 for fallow !??

Bc thats the grind i am on and if u see my first text you would know thats what i am talking about

[rocky horizon]

Guys should I do a follow grind eventually bc I'm trying to do a moose one but its boring

[cyan river]

Any Grind is always boring 😅

[rocky horizon]

Ye lol

I'm just to lazy and I heard fallow is easiest and fastest lol

[latent cedar]

are lvl 1 male foxes a thing? or is it just shenanigans

[cyan river]

Welp, I presume it's pretty rare. Like opposite to a Diamond.

[frail zodiac]

It’s real

[latent cedar]

nice!

so can a lvl 1 croc be expected?

[frail zodiac]

No

Level 2 is their minimum

[latent cedar]

awesome cheers

thanks Lego

[frail zodiac]

No problem

[finite saddle]

I have 36 zones for fallow in te awora should i start the grind

[frail zodiac]

Yes

[signal marsh]

which is the better looking -immersive map between Te Aw, Miss, and NE? looking to add to my collection but dunno which one to choose

[frail zodiac]

New England is arguably the best looking map

[signal marsh]

Thanks, I ll prolly end up owning all of them eventually

[dawn cosmos]

Don't know what to do... My game freezes all the time when i launch it. To play it i need to turn off all the time cloud and delete reserveworlddata file. Steam platfrom... srsly.

[signal marsh]

maaybe verify game files?

[dawn cosmos]

Verifed... reinstalled game.. nothing helps, becouse it's a cloud not a game

maybe it doesn't syncronize and freeze

[cyan river]

And what happened if you permanently disable cloud?

[rapid musk]

Is fox drinking time in salzwiesen 17-20?

[twilit geode]

yo can somone help me rly quick idk why my game isnt starting
its in german ik. but idk what file missing. reinstalled it 3 times already.

[scarlet field]

yes! it's 17-20 on every map that has red fox

[sweet pond]

VC Runtime 140?

[twilit geode]

yeah but idk what that file does

[tranquil tundra]

I'd make a post in #1062059141436297246

[twilit geode]

alr

[rapid musk]

Thank you

[latent cedar]

any tech guru's here know why an external monitor would shrink the size of the display when increasing resolution?

External has max 4k capacity, 166hz but the image only fills the whole screen if i reduce resolution to 1080p.

All drivers are up to date, windows settings are fine but the image itself shrinks to about 50% of total screen size when I adjust the resolution to 1440p or 4k

I get the feeling that there's conflict between windows and nvidia settings but I can't be sure. nothing online seems to be conclusive

[hidden basin]

Check the resolution in the windows settings and see if messing with it gives you any better results

[latent cedar]

I tried adjusting it through the windows display settings. when I increase the external to 1440p or higher, it wigs out and drops to letterbox size within the monitor itself

doing my head in tbh.

I can settle for 1080p but i'm fixated on understanding the why and how to overcome it

[native ore]

Are normal tigers rare?

[frail zodiac]

No

They are harder to find then most species but aren’t rare

[latent cedar]

don't seem to have any luck figuring it out. when i try to change it, the details that show in windows settings adjust. but the shrunk image is what I don't understand. thanks for the help though. maybe I misunderstood you but I'm obviously missing something somewhere

[signal marsh]

I have a question. Can a turkey be rated ''very easy'', and turn out to be a diamond? or maybe i m on a modded mp map?

host not replying

[tranquil tundra]

that's normal diamond level for a turkey, but if you're worried about it being modded, take a look around at other animals before shooting

if you see max-levels/rares everywhere, it probably is

[signal marsh]

thanks, I dc'd in the mean time. So when scoping the animal - it can turn out a diamond even if rating is '' very easy'', or ''medium", etc? I thought that diamonds have ''mythical'' or ''legendary'' in the description

[hidden basin]

@signal marsh

[signal marsh]

thanks but i still don't get the corelation between description ( very easy, easy legendary, etc) and type of precious metal if you will: bronze silver diamond etc. I ve been playing singe thehunter classic was around, but never grinded nor chased big scores. just walk around, no animal clues tracks etc......I hope u understand my confusion as it s the 1st diamond animal i got ( or noticed ) lmao

[latent cedar]

trophy rating, basically, is different to the actual level of the animal.

you could have a level 9 not reach diamond, based on the trophy rating. and depending on the animal, some level 8's could reach diamond if the trophy rating reaches the threshhold

[signal marsh]

got it now. so a Very easy whitetail can turn out a diamond since it maxes out at 3 - VERY EASY

[scarlet field]

yep!

[signal marsh]

wow......after all these years I learn something new. I ve had the game since it came up basically and wasn t aware

[native ore]

ive heard theres a limited amount of them now is that true?

[scarlet field]

i believe there's only 16 on every map?

[upbeat cipher]

When trying to grind moose in order to find diamonds and I find a herd with a 2, 3, and 4, which one do I kill? Or does it not matter

[frigid verge]

I stopped grinding whitetail in Layton lake after the Big update with da tents, i recently bought Revontuli coast and searched near lakes for some whitetail zones, does someone know which part of the map hast the highest population of whitetail deer ?

[frigid verge]

Thanks ❤

[azure cliff]

Just got the game today so i've got a few questions. If an animal is wounded is it more optimal to chase it via running, or keep it slow and steady? Should i keep buying all of the hideout spots, or is it not worth it?

[wise juniper]

Can someone tell me what rack is this?

[wise juniper]

Don't buy hideous

That's for sure

[azure cliff]

Ah, okay then. Are they not a good money making method or something? How come

[sweet pond]

follow what the animal is doing. When they slow down, you need to as well or you'll spook them again.

[tranquil tundra]

yeah don't buy preset blinds unless you're sure there's animal activity near it

[azure cliff]

I see, so chase after it till it slows down

[wise juniper]

And of course @willow wing pinned "🤔" emote cuz Super rare 😭

[sweet pond]

you want to save your money for other weapons, ammo, sights etc in th early game

[azure cliff]

alright then, thank you

[willow wing]

happy?

[wise juniper]

No

[willow wing]

too bad

[sweet pond]

when it's running you can run, when it's trotting you should walk and when it's walking you might need to crouch and use binoculars ahead. That's my rough approach so far anyway, seems to work

[sly gull]

If it's not anything rare I'd recommend looking for something different

[sweet pond]

not at the start of the game

[sly gull]

Meh

Hunting one female 30 minutes...

[sweet pond]

sure, I get your point

[azure cliff]

that works as a way to gauge things then. Usually i crouch and hold down shift to get around, barely walk

[tawdry snow]

How do puma respawns work? Is there a way to set up tents and tripods for consistent shots because every zone is a solo

[wise juniper]

Anyone😭?

[nimble smelt]

touching tines rack

a really funky one too

[wise juniper]

Thank you

[fleet bay]

Currently trying to fill my lodge with tons of multi-mounts and for the puma/roosevelt elk one I need a female puma, however everything in my lodge is gold or higher and I would like to generally keep it that way (minus any rare variants I come across) and was wondering can female pumas even reach gold?

[fierce wave]

No they max at 34.5 silver

[fleet bay]

Wish I would have known that after killing like 6 females trying to get gold 😭😭 but thank you 🙏🏻

[nimble smelt]

tbf that's gonna be the case for like majority of the multimounts that require a female

[fierce wave]

I honestly can't remember if There's any mounts besides 1 that has gold females in it

[fleet bay]

Good to know, thanks yall 👍🏻

[somber bough]

if i open a multiplayer lobby and someone kills an animal off my map does it also count when i’m on my map on single player

[fierce wave]

Yes multiplayer is exactly same pop zones everything as single player if you host

[somber bough]

yeah but like

i have a whitetail piebald somewhere

and i don’t want someone else to take it

if they take it on multiplayer

is he gone on single player too?

[fierce wave]

Yes

Don't host your map to untrusted people if you don't want to lose stuff

Aka good friends

[somber bough]

okay cool

and also

whats the best way to get money for tents and tripods?

i have like 24k rn but i need like 200k 😭

[dense zealot]

go hunt crocs or bantengs on emerald coast

along the coast

[somber bough]

is there a croc call?

[dense zealot]

no but you don't need one

you'll find them all just resting on the sand

[somber bough]

they feel kind of few and far between and difficult to kill

[dense zealot]

whats the strongest rifle you got?

[somber bough]

i have the .300 rifle

[dense zealot]

you are golden then

[somber bough]

where do i shoot them?

[dense zealot]

just shoot them on the lungs around the leg to secure the kill

[somber bough]

the leg?

[dense zealot]

or go for the neck for a quick kill

[dense zealot]

around the shoulder so you can easily get the lungs

[nimble smelt]

If you have the penetration rounds for it, the .454 is great as a defense gun when they go aggressive

[somber bough]

i don’t have it

i also rarely find multiplayer servers that have tents

and are at the right time

[nimble smelt]

Right time for what?

[somber bough]

for both banteng and crocs

[dense zealot]

you can find crocs all day

[somber bough]

yeah

[nimble smelt]

Eh, i wouldn't worry too much about the banteng

Most of the times they flee before you even get close

[somber bough]

also

is it me

or do the crocs just literally disappear if they go into the water

[nimble smelt]

if you spook them or after you shoot them?

[somber bough]

also the crocs are usually in like roots of trees or over mounds which is annoying

[somber bough]

after i shoot em

[nimble smelt]

they just take a long time to die

they'll die and float to where you shot them

go for neck shots to avoid that

[somber bough]

so the bone is in like the top of the neck right

i have a hard time hitting the actual bone part

[dense zealot]

yeah it's close to the top

may take some pratice but thats the best shot you can make

[somber bough]

alright cool

thanks

[somber bough]

may or may not have got bored of

looking for multiplayer servers

i just bought it

😭

[upbeat cipher]

Can you get a diamond of every animal?

[tranquil tundra]

Every animal is capable of making diamond, yes

[rich scaffold]

Anyone got any good videos I can watch for setting up zones for fallow deer for a great one grind on te awora on Xbox or anything tips to help me

[turbid inlet]

Find zones, setup ones that are easy to grind or with big animals, and get shooting

[lean agate]

can you tell me what rack this is?

[nimble smelt]

beeeeeeg rack

[formal holly]

what about a female level 1 crocodile 🤔

[dreamy salmon]

There is a mallard duck with a white face. Don’t know if that’s normal or not.

[formal holly]

(ik you're talking about species)

[nimble smelt]

Piebald. Common

[dreamy salmon]

Well, it is foggy and I just shot it so I’m gonna go find it and see what it is

[cedar latch]

How do I deal with this zone it has a couple white tail I need to shoot down but it is very brushy around there how do I go about setting up a tripod

[dreamy salmon]

Yup it piebald I’m so happy thx u

[nimble smelt]

It's not rare

[dreamy salmon]

But it’s my first different fur type so ima Tao it

[fading iron]

mallard piebald are common

[fiery field]

any tips and tricks for the setup of tiger grind

[midnight zenith]

Current main room, anyone have any ideas or suggestions of what I can grind to add-on? Or even change?

[uneven quarry]

anyone know where i can find bigger blacktail deer? im stuck on a mission where they have to be 154.32 lbs or more but all i find is very young bucks

[tranquil tundra]

just kill the small ones and hope they respawn as something bigger

[uneven quarry]

thats alot of bullets but eh i got no other options

[long ice]

Nah

[glad knot]

Hey guys, first attempt at a herd managed great one for white tail on Layton Lake and I have a few questions. 1) Max # of animals per drink zone is 5? 2) If a drink zone has all does and\or lvl-1 bucks, leave it alone? 3) What have I done wrong if a zone no longer spawns any animals but still shows active on the map 4) How can I be confident I've discovered all drink zones?

[wise juniper]

I have no idea 🔥😭

[outer gull]

Hmm no duck dlc bought means no duck callers?

[rich scaffold]

Ok thanks

[cyan river]

There was lots of changes through past years, not sure how callers are connected to DLC now, however you can check list of all available equipment per specific animal in game Codex (animal description).

[signal marsh]

is there any .22 that can hunt foxes and coons?

[scarlet field]

the Kullman .22H is good for classes 1-2, it comes with Mississippi!

[signal marsh]

ahh i knew it. mistook it for zarza

[cyan river]

IMHO it's pretty weak for foxes.

[signal marsh]

I watned to add Acres to my collection so, i ll take it 🙂 Thanks

[cyan river]

I prefer.22-50
This rifle is light (only 2kg) and penetrate 2-4 animals.
It's a part of Emerald coast DLC.

[scarlet field]

yeah the .22-250 is my favorite rifle for class 2 as well

[signal marsh]

woow acres seems so small

doesn t look like the size of the other reserves, maybe optical illusion

[scarlet field]

i think it's just the map style, pretty sure it's the same size as all other maps (aside from salz ofc)

[signal marsh]

yes seems so......udo I need to do missions to get the kullman?

nvm found it

we need to be able to sort weapons by caliber- too much scrolling

[scarlet field]

agreed lol

[cyan river]

At east now weapons are in a separate category, and not all equipment in one tab like it was a year ago. 😩

[finite saddle]

I want to get mr.black but there is one mission i am stuck on where u have to harvest 2 coyotes at levithan lake at night

[sweet pond]

take a tent over there

[finite saddle]

I have a tent there

[sweet pond]

ok, so mooch around until you find some tracks

[cyan river]

Yeah, challenging mission =)

[finite saddle]

Yep

They dont even drink there

[cyan river]

Actually pointer dog makes it ALOT easier to find coyotes.

[sweet pond]

nah, but if you know roughly where they go you can hide and use a caller

[finite saddle]

I dont have dogs ☹️

[sweet pond]

find the lake and then walk down the hill away from it, you'll find an opening of clear ground. Have a look there 😉

West

[finite saddle]

This is the area

[cyan river]

If you don't find drink zones (which is pretty common) - best bet is finding feed zones or rested zones nearby (even outside of marked area) an use predator caller to lure coyotes inside.

I was able to lure animals up from 600 meters away (in several lures). So your desired Coyote areal is pretty wide (not just the area quest marks for you).

[finite saddle]

Yeah

[cyan river]

Coyotes are not rare in that region. Just need to find proper time of night that will suit for you.

[finite saddle]

Should i go before drink time

[cyan river]

My best luck usually 19-24

[finite saddle]

Ok

[finite saddle]

Got one

But the second one is giving me a hard time

No mating calls no warning calls and nothing is fleeing

[sweet pond]

reset the time and try again

[cyan river]

Wait until game ask you to hunt Coyotes with a bow at night 😅

[finite saddle]

Does that come before the mrblack too!

?

[cyan river]

You are lucky. It's just an optional quest.

[cyan river]

To find Mr. Black just focus on main quests.

[finite saddle]

I am

I have done the one where u have to take a pic of the bear

[cyan river]

Those one comes pretty early.
Abilty to meet Mr. Black again will be available much later.

[finite saddle]

I have done 19 missions

So how many more left

[cyan river]

Welp Layton Lake has 47main quests and 70 side quests.
So probably you are not far away.

[finite saddle]

Can mr black troll

Like the coyote and elk

?

[cyan river]

Welp, at least for me Mr. Black and Elk were Diamonds.
Coyote is still "waiting" for me.

[finite saddle]

Ok

Found a male it got away

[cyan river]

At least you know that Coyotes are nearby 😅

[finite saddle]

2 male tracks one goes up to 21kg and one goes to 24kg

I thik i will just camp at their spot

I dont have zone

[lean lintel]

I love luring coyotes in with their caller

[finite saddle]

But this is where they spook from

[finite saddle]

Did it

Btw is the mr.black mission name sick papa bear or the return of the bear man?

In both they are 100% talking about mr.black

[cyan river]

Actually both. Game allow you to make a decision.

[finite saddle]

Ok so whats the name of the mission u can shoot it

In

If your not sure can u look at your game and confirm

[cyan river]

Both missions will go up on progress after you spot Mr. Black. And in that spot you will make a decision:
-shoot
-photograph
It will change some dialogues in the future quests.

[finite saddle]

So it does not matter what i take

[cyan river]

Nope.

[finite saddle]

I can shoot it in both

[cyan river]

In any case one mission will be succeed, and othar will vanish.

[finite saddle]

Ok

[finite saddle]

U pick

The other one tells me to take a pic of mr.black and other one wants me to go in high lake

[wind idol]

Do u get a animal for finishing Savanna Maps missions

[finite saddle]

No not in savanna

[wind idol]

K

What maps

[finite saddle]

I think layton hirchenfielden medved and te awora

[wind idol]

Ty

[finite saddle]

Will mr.black come back if i spook him

[scarlet field]

cuatro colinas too, it has the 3 wolves

[finite saddle]

Oh yeah forgot that

[cyan river]

Have no idea. Pretty sure you always can try on next day.

[finite saddle]

Cuatro too

[finite saddle]

Ok

[cyan river]

For first Mr. Black encounter where you need just to photograph him, I spook him and chance him for 3 days 😅

That experience are not forgettable. So in second encounter I was prepared 😂 😂

[wind idol]

Iv dift a croc

[finite saddle]

Lol i just layed down and spammed the pic button

While getting closer

[somber bough]

i have a whitetail herd

2 level ones

and a level 2

and some females

do i kill anything

[wheat fern]

Does anyone have any bobwhite quail hunting tips?

[lean lintel]

What is the estimate of the level 2?

[somber bough]

i’d have to go back and check

1 moment

it wasn’t a big one though

[lean lintel]

I am assuming you are HMing

[sweet pond]

shotgun?

[somber bough]

i have so many level ones

in good zones

it’s so annoying

[wheat fern]

yeah but like anything else

[somber bough]

yeah i am sorry

the estimate is 151-192

@lilac lark

oops

<@&393042322499305473>

[cyan river]

Assuming I'm not a pro on bird hunting. But general rules is still should work:

• open Codex in game and read what equipment can be used fro your bird hunting (animal description);
• Find an open area with lots of free space and lots of birds coming through. Better time is early morning;
• Setup 10-20 decoys not far from each other (need space to see incoming birds);
• Setup tripod for better camouflage and good visuals on decoys. It should be around 100m away from decoys;
• wait for birds coming by, if you bored - use bird caller.
• try to moove tripod closer to your decoys until birds begin to spook.

[tribal ledge]

ty

[lean lintel]

Leave him

[somber bough]

okey dokey

[lean lintel]

He’s a low enough 2 that won’t make gold and is basically a 1

[somber bough]

why do i leave him?

he won’t respawn right

so is that zone just useless now or smth

[lean lintel]

That zone can be one of your exteriors zones

[somber bough]

damn.

it’s the most open one too 😞

[sweet pond]

I didn't find hunting Bobwhite any different from any other animals other than they're harder to spot and target. You don't need decoys for quail (not sure if they're even in the game)

[lean lintel]

You can make it a main zone you’ll just have to shoot them down and see what respawns

[somber bough]

can males join the herd ?

[lean lintel]

They can pop into another herd from time to time

[somber bough]

ty

[lean lintel]

If you really want that as a main zone, shoot no more than 2 of them at a time until you get big 2s or a 3 there

[somber bough]

okay cool

and do i shoot the 2’s and 3’s

i never rlly understood it very well

[somber bough]

i’ve been shooting them

[wheat fern]

thanks this is a good duck hunting guide but quail do not have decoys!

[glacial shale]

Anyone got any tips for a male albino lion grind? Been doing it for about 3 years now

[cyan river]

Welp, that why Codex info is first in bird hunting list 😅

[lean lintel]

For your main zones, no, once you get the zone to a point where your deer are high levels

[fallow scaffold]

What's the difference between the best binocular and unicular unlocked before it?

[cinder sentinel]

The best binoculars have a built in rangefinder, and a reticle

[fallow scaffold]

and those are?

[cinder sentinel]

Wdym?

[fallow scaffold]

what is a reticle

[cinder sentinel]

Oh ummm crosshair

[fallow scaffold]

aah ok ok

[cinder sentinel]

Yeah and a rangefinder tells you how far away you are from what you’re looking at through your binoculars

[tardy cipher]

Okay so I’ve been playing on Xbox for quite some time and recently made the switch to PC. I purchased all the DLCs Via steam and was wondering if it’s possible for me to move at least my trophy lodge from Xbox to my PC. I’ve seen people take data from other games and export them to flash drives to transfer, but I wasn’t sure if that works with Avalanche titles.

[frail zodiac]

Not possible

[tardy cipher]

Interesting. That’s what I figured, I was just wondering.

[cyan river]

Last binocular that are unlocked on character lvl 28 has stronger zoom in comparison with rangefinder.
So it's like Ultimate best binocular.

[gloomy kelp]

Can anyone assist me on good Whitetail deer hunting spots for Revontuli coast

[frail zodiac]

The north 1/3 of the map

[gloomy kelp]

Appreciate it

[copper warren]

Why does Cotw black screen on start up I tried everything the only thing works is taking off the dlcs and putting it back. Dont want to do that everytime

[cyan river]

Found an old steam topic about this issue:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/518790/discussions/4/4402812641358463599/

[nimble smelt]

just go around the fields on mississippi

during their feed times

[somber bough]

wait what

so how do i benefit from leaving them?

they won’t respawn if i don’t kill em surely

[lean lintel]

Choose which zones you want to be your main zones and which ones your exteriors. Shoot them all until your exteriors have nothing but 1s and low level 2s and your main zones have big level 2s and 3s

When all of your exteriors and main zones are done, you can then shoot your main zones as normal

The goal is to prevent low levels from respawning into your main zones

[median agate]

Is a grey mountain lion rare?

[midnight zenith]

Sadly not

[median agate]

Ok

[glass wren]

should I get the power pack or the scope and crosshairs

[frail zodiac]

Hunter power pack is my favorite equipment pack

[glass wren]

aight

[somber bough]

but how do i make sure that the ones i choose for my main zones

like how do i make sure that when i shoot out my main zones that they’ll respawn as bigger

and that when i shoot my exterior they’ll respawn smaller

[lean lintel]

You keep shooting until they are

[somber bough]

but liie

like

ohhh

wait i get it

[lean lintel]

RNG makes it where you can either get a smaller spawn or bigger spawn but the more you get those exterior zones filled, it will force the game to give you bigger spawns in your main zones

[somber bough]

okay cool

how many of each do i want

like how many exterior and main zones

[lean lintel]

There is really no set amount for exterior zones, but your main zones you don’t want too many so around 8-16 zones is what I try to strive for

[somber bough]

8-16 main zones

or total zones

[lean lintel]

I am not an expert for HM though

Main

[somber bough]

okay cool

i’ll go like 10 main 6 exterior

[lean lintel]

Can defer depending on the animal

You want any zone you are not using as a main to be an exterior

So find all of your zones

[somber bough]

ah

okay

so i need

a truck load of cash

for stands

[nimble smelt]

use waterfowl blinds instead

[somber bough]

fr?

[nimble smelt]

yeah

[somber bough]

for all zones?

[nimble smelt]

not all

but they're cheaper than tripods

[somber bough]

yeah

i also still need tents

i have 86k rn

that’s def not gonna be enough is it

[nimble smelt]

anyways

you want at least 50% of all your males to be low levels

[ruby abyss]

Can someone help me unlock all outposts on Australia please I’m on pc

[upbeat cipher]

Melanistic whitetail deer won’t have any white, correct?

[nimble smelt]

melanistic is completely black

[upbeat cipher]

Thanks. It just looks dark in comparison

[nimble smelt]

plus, that has white on it anyway

[upbeat cipher]

I know

[full sundial]

guys what dlc should I get next? I have srp, ATV, tents & blinds, revontuli, Weapon Pack 1, Bloodhound, high tech, and treestands

[nimble smelt]

hunter power pack

[long ice]

Not mela

[eternal mural]

if you need money, go hunt fallow deer and pigs from 6-10, Its what Im doing rn and have made tons of moneh from this, If I didnt blow alot of my money away I would have at least 140k

one of the best ways to make money in my opinion

[eternal mural]

The pointer is pretty good at finding meduim game and rabbits for me.

[stark glade]

Guys, what are the 3 best dlc maps for hunting? (i'm just hunt for fun)

[somber bough]

which map?

[nimble smelt]

why 6-10?

[nimble smelt]

whichever you like best

[vague matrix]

Yo bebal do u grind or play game normally

[nimble smelt]

Both

[vague matrix]

What u grind?

[eternal mural]

thats their feedzone

[nimble smelt]

Bears and trying to set up for jackal rn

[eternal mural]

tae areowa I cant spell the name

[nimble smelt]

easier to just do drink zones

[vague matrix]

Ohh not the great ones?

[eternal mural]

the drinkzones only got fallow

feedzone time has both boars and fallow

[nimble smelt]

Bears for great ones and jackal just cuz

[vague matrix]

Oh yeh

[nimble smelt]

faster to do drink zones

also to find them

[eternal mural]

both ways work

[nimble smelt]

feed zones you gotta search a lotttt more area

[eternal mural]

drink zones are easier

[vague matrix]

Btw we need to set up tripod or tents according to drink zone marker or the herd

[eternal mural]

better visibility

[nimble smelt]

Herd

[vague matrix]

Okayyy

[nova kernel]

What’s better stacking or not? I have 11 diamond stacked.

Whitetail

[nimble smelt]

are your exterior zones completely managed down

[fading iron]

so

does someone wanna give me a full in depth detailed explanation on how this great one grind gets put together and how herd management works?

bebal you’re the man or women for this i feel like, let me hear something!

[nimble smelt]

so for hm to actually work you need at least 50% of all your males to be low levels

find all your zones, and pick your 10 best zones

[ember maple]

So I’m wanting to do the fallow grind and I’m currently looking for some remaining zones I have like 21 zone and is struggling to find the other and advice?

[nimble smelt]

while you're finding zones i also recommend counting each male so you don't have to run all over the map again

also keep count of each low level male

[fading iron]

so i should be shooting off the bigger males to spawn possible smaller ones or shoot off small ones from the start

or find zones with low level males

[nimble smelt]

yes

set up on your main zone and try to stack diamonds or high scoring golds before trying to manage down exteriors

[fading iron]

okay sounds good, thanks alot for the help!

[nimble smelt]

np

[ember maple]

Anyone got any advice on finding my remainder zones ?

[vocal coyote]

What is the best great one for a starter player to shoot?

[nimble smelt]

bear is easiest to do

watch ibuy's guide on yt

[crimson sierra]

Do you need to hunt down zones that your tent/tripod cover up when farming for diamonds and Great Ones?

[nimble smelt]

Yes

[crimson sierra]

Thanks

Also. Are you able to set up zones on multiplayer if the same guy hosts every time?

[lost tartan]

Your south coast has non

Look there

[nimble smelt]

yeah but better off doing it on your own map

[upbeat cipher]

Once I find all of my drink zones for my grind, I place 8 tents at zones where the visibility is good and they aren’t zones with one animal, correct?

[stray parcel]

does anyone know if i should leave or shoot the troll racks for better chance to get diamond?

[scarlet field]

if you are doing hm and need to shoot down exterior zones then you should probably leave them, but if not i'd probably just shoot them

oh wait im blind, those are the tiny antlers- yeah you can leave them since they score so little

[sand sinew]

Hey, this isnt the usual question that gets posted here but i wantedto ask you guys, i like the game, i have alot of hours on it too, but my main problem is its inconsistent, i have fun with it for a week and then i kinda loose the will for it and its prob cuz i really like the paart where you track animals, shoot them and like observe zones, but getting to the zones or points without making noise takes quite a while and i am not used to that, so i wanted to ask if there are any tips on movement not to scare stuff away or its just my fault for not being patient enough.

[sand sinew]

• basically when everything runs away from me before i get there it kinda kills my mental

[stray parcel]

so the game at first point looks at the score and not at the weight class to see if the animal is a big one or not? .. because im not sure how the game handle these animals .. usually its like if u have less big animals, the game will spawn u some bit this one is a big animal in weight part and a small one at trophy part.. thats confusing

[scarlet field]

there should be a skill that reduces the amount of noise you make, i can't remember the exact name of it but i believe it should be in the stalker branch ^^ also don't carry backpacks! they increase the noise too

[sand sinew]

I carry the smallest backpack to carry 3 weapons and a tent, is that too much to carry or just like meaningless to carry 3 weapons + a tent and scopes? And i will also check the skill out, thanks!

[scarlet field]

from what i know, hm is based on the scoring of the animals and not weight (unless the animal's score is based on weight)
at least this is what i've been taught

[stray parcel]

okay that is what i thought too and what i saw in the past when i did hm to other species.. well then im leaving him.. especially becasue hes in an exterior zone

[scarlet field]

honestly i prefer carrying tents all the time too, but backpacks definitely hurt stealthing a bit :( there's also another skill called pack mule that increases the amount of stuff you can carry without a backpack, i think it's by 3kg?

[sand sinew]

Imma boot the game up to take a look for that all

[scarlet field]

what time do wolves drink in Medved?

[sweet pond]

17-20

[scarlet field]

ty!

[vernal marten]

Do animals normally get stuck on multiplayer? Like ducks flying into bushes, etc?

I found a duck and its stuck, and lowkey wanna try standing on it and seeing if I'll fly

[frail zodiac]

Yep

[vernal marten]

I didn't fly

[olive roost]

For herd management should I always be shooting the highest level males I see in the area

[blissful jasper]

which reserve is best for turkey hunting

[reef thicket]

lads, what's a good weapon to use

[frail zodiac]

For?

[reef thicket]

Hunting, I am trying to hunt animals but I can never kill them, I only hit them into organ but they always live magically, even though I emptied like 2 entire mags into this bison like 2 minutes ago

[frail zodiac]

Do you know what the class system is?

[reef thicket]

I know what the class system is, but I cannot find a weapon which matches the class I am hunting for

[frail zodiac]

That’s probably because you haven’t purchased one yet

[reef thicket]

I have every DLC so I get few pretty weapons but it doesn't say any class on it so I don't know

I am currently using Vibrant 22LR

[frail zodiac]

The ammo shows class

[reef thicket]

And which dog is good? Labrador or Bloodhount

[frail zodiac]

They have different uses. The bloodhound tracks blood trails. The retriever brings you dead class 1 animals

[reef thicket]

I assume there's no thermal scope?

Only NV?

[frail zodiac]

Only night vision

[copper warren]

so this didnt work no clue what to do now

[cyan river]

This weapon is mostly for birds and rabbits.
Bison is extremely hard to penetrate, it has literally toughest hide in the game (animal class 9).
In general weapon is irrelevant.
What matter is ammo type. Choose proper ammo and see what weapon can use it.

Also small hint: almost each weapon in, the game has 2 types of ammo (high expansion or high penetration), try to use penetration.
You can check all ammo in the game using this Steam guide:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3388880444

[cyan river]

Find store in game, open ammo tab, in the right bottom corner of the screen you will see a button "compitable with", press it.

[last hemlock]

Pleased joining

[cyan river]

Welp, you can alway send a ticket to support team.

[azure cliff]

I just noticed, for some reason my arms are invisible, i can only see my hands and then nothing below them, this became blatant when driving around on the 4x4

[cyan river]

Switch to third person mode.

If i remember correclty by pressing "C" in game.

[azure cliff]

my arms are intact in third person, but when i go back to first person it's still the same

[sweet pond]

very good camo

[azure cliff]

lmao

i will try to verify steam files

[cyan river]

Pretty sure it's messing up with field of view. By default it is 60

[azure cliff]

probably, i do have it maxed

[cyan river]

Welp, here your answer =)

[azure cliff]

maybe, i'll try after i verify the game files

weird that an in-game setting would mess up the game itself though, lol, that kind of stuff is thoroughly tested usually

[sweet pond]

pretty sure I have mine set to max with no issues

[azure cliff]

i see

[cyan river]

May be resolution + field of wiev matters.

[blissful jasper]

which map is best for great one hunt

[woven kelp]

Depends on which one you want

[blissful jasper]

any

[green totem]

Rev for whitetail

[fallow escarp]

Anywhere where i can get some loadout ideas for each map finding im consuming a bunch of time changing loadout between map changes so i wanna preset some

[cyan river]

Woah, those actually a tricky question. As it depends on what DLC you have and personal preference (like you prefer bows / air riffle / hunting smal game...)

Any loadout has its strong and weak points.

[fallow escarp]

I have all dlc and i usually like to hunt big and medium size game trying to stack money and level up i use a bow if im close enough and rifle if not

[sly gull]

Well, some are just bad, but yeah

[sly gull]

For big game definitely .375

[fallow escarp]

Feel like my hunter has parkinsons or something even when steadying aim i guess ill just have to use my perk points to see if i can even it out i thought it was based on weapon type but it wasnt everything sways bad lol

I find iy hard also to stack money when hunting from blinds as well just very time consuming sometimes

Its hard to find out the tricks and stuff when i only get to play when the kids are at school and the babys sleeping 🤣 ive had my doubts about playing with others just cause i know some people run n gun and make it where its no longer fun but really wish someone would teach me some stuff

[cyan river]

My ultimate combination for questing is:

1. Zarza .308 for classes 4-6
2. Arzyna .300 for classes 7-9
3. Crosspoint CB-165 crossbow for silent hunting
4. Zagan Varminter .22 for classes 2-3
5. .45-70 Jernberg Handgun for fun (clsses 4-9)
   Free space for 1 binocular, 3 scopes (x8, x16, crosbow), 2 lures, scent eliminator, and 1kg free space (medkit + dog biscuit)

[cyan river]

Sometimes you can drop Arzyna .300 for extra space (as you have hand gun and crossbow)

Crossbow is pretty heavy. Possible to drop it for much lighter Alexander bow.

[fallow escarp]

Thanks man ima try that out for sure

I use the recurve usually

What does the crossbow scope distance zeroed at for top reticle

[cyan river]

If you set zeroing on 60 metres, lowest line allow to fire presizely on 100meters.

[fallow escarp]

Thanks man thats a big help

[misty nimbus]

Does anyone have any tips for great one red deer got my 9th diamond today and had like 4-5 trolls and I only got 2 rares

[rapid musk]

I don't have any Bears on one of my lakes in the 4 lake grind should I still set up on it in case of respawns or no?

[thorny harbor]

Where should I be placing Eurasian Wigeon decoys? Or better yet, where should I be placing my blinds/stands/tripods? I've placed the decoys in water & once they land, they swim for shore. When I placed them on land, they turn in my general direction & spot me when I raise up to shoot.

[tranquil tundra]

about 25-50 meters away from your blind

[thorny harbor]

That's about the distance the ones on land were when I got spotted whenever I raised up.

I was also on a hill if that has something to do with it.

[sweet pond]

are you using a caller?

[thorny harbor]

Just the decoys so far.

[sweet pond]

hmmm

[polar bridge]

is this reserve really that small?

[tranquil tundra]

yep

the price for it being out so quickly

[umbral saddle]

i wouldnt want a full sized map with the largest animal being a fox anyway tbh

[long ice]

Yup😔

[hard vault]

How rare is this guy? He looks awesome

[polar bridge]

🥹

[long ice]

Hybrid is a rare👍

[hard vault]

Woo nice!

[long ice]

But... that just means they're playing around with the idea of different sized reserves

Like a giant Africa 2.0 map🤔

[hard vault]

Lol my dog started barking due to a threat and I started freaking out thinking it was a bear or something but nope
IT WAS A CAPERCALLIE

[thorny harbor]

Found a good spot so I'm not getting spotted, but they're still in a nice little line on shore when the decoys are in the water.

[hushed haven]

if i get cotw on my pc will i be able to play with my friends on ps5?

[cyan river]

Welp, at least there are TONS of Foxes, Racoons and Racoon dogs in Salzwiesen. I'm literally feeling I'm drowning in those animals with my air rifle.

[umbral saddle]

ye which is a benefit of it being a small map, if it was full sized it probably wouldnt have felt nearly as full and alive

[tidal goblet]

No unfortunately

[tranquil tundra]

No crossplay. probably for the best, given PC's hacking plague

[polar bridge]

with elephants

[cosmic copper]

Am I doing something wrong if I have 18 diamonds and 1 rare in my red deer grind? Or is it just bad luck?

[tranquil tundra]

bad luck

[cosmic copper]

Lovely😇

[tranquil tundra]

I had 20 diamonds as of the end of my second WT grind

total of 3439 deer

[nimble smelt]

dayum

i had horrible albino luck with my red deer

[tranquil tundra]

I was well into the 2k's when I finally found a mela

I found my SR before I found that mela

[mortal mauve]

Doe wich great one should i grind? Fallow , whitail, moose or red dear

[upbeat cipher]

I’d start with whitetail, you’ll end up finding a lot of moose drinking zones when you scope out the area, and they only go to level 3

[umbral saddle]

i got my first mela today after 1700 fallow kills, no super rare for me tho lol

[nimble smelt]

lol i got a sr and still never got an albino

[upbeat cipher]

So if I find a zone that has 4 bucks and 3 does and I kill 2 bucks, with they respawn as bucks?

[latent cedar]

they don't swap, so yeh

[upbeat cipher]

Sweet. So I’m keeping track of how many does/bucks I find per zone. At what point is a zone considered “shot down”?

[latent cedar]

when the levels are low enough to support the method.

[latent cedar]

what are you grinding

[upbeat cipher]

Whitetail

[upbeat cipher]

That’s what I want to know

[nimble smelt]

when all the males are low levels

[upbeat cipher]

Oh my god I just found an albino

[upbeat cipher]

It doesn’t have anything to do with the amount of males or females?

[nimble smelt]

No

[upbeat cipher]

I thought you can’t shoot a zone down to one female or nothing will respawn

[nimble smelt]

No that's right

[upbeat cipher]

I thought that meant shot down

[nimble smelt]

No

Shot down means that every male in a zone is low level

[upbeat cipher]

And that’s what you want for exterior zones, correct?

[nimble smelt]

Yes

[upbeat cipher]

And for your interior/main zones, you shoot only 2 smaller bucks?

[nimble smelt]

shoot anything in main zones

[upbeat cipher]

What about every other zone that’s not main or exterior?

[nimble smelt]

if it's not a main zone then it's an exterior

shoot down everything that isn't a main zone

[upbeat cipher]

I mean, I’m gonna be putting 8 tents at exterior zones. What do I do with the others to ensure nothing good goes there?

[nimble smelt]

shoot them down too

ration out your tents

use 1 tent for 2 lakes

[upbeat cipher]

But then I can’t get to every exterior zone, there’s too many. I saw in a tutorial that someone did something to a zone so they “didn’t have to worry about it anymore”

[nimble smelt]

yeah ya can

if there's an outpost near the lake, use that instead

if it's far away, use a tent

[upbeat cipher]

I have over 40 zones

[nimble smelt]

what animal on what map

[upbeat cipher]

Whitetail deer on Layton

[nimble smelt]

you should have a lot more than that

[upbeat cipher]

I know, I haven’t searched everywhere yet. I’m working on it

[nimble smelt]

well just set up on some zones, shoot them down, then set up on others until they're all low levels
