[charred relic]

Ik thats all i could think of tho

I was just worried that it was the g1 or supposed to be and i got robbed of it

[last hemlock]

With that score and fur it should have been a regular 7

[nimble smelt]

^^^

think ya just misread it

cuz nothing like this has ever been known before

[charred relic]

Thats kinda why i came here see if someone knew anything

[long ice]

Idk guys

Not taking a ss or picture of something like that IS kinda sus🤷‍♂️

[charred relic]

Maybe it happens to you and you can provide that🤷‍♂️

Someone has a question or reports sum yall all assume oh hes lying it didnt happen

Yall aint helpful at all this server is some bs

[frosty moth]

well you dont have any actual proof and everything shown says otherwise

not much you can do

[nimble smelt]

okay kinda happens when ya bring up something that literally has never happened before

[long ice]

And have no proof of it actually happening

[charred relic]

Ok

[wind fractal]

Where does everyone go for their need zones times

[last hemlock]

It all depends on the species

Most feed zones and rest zones are spread across the map or in a similar area in the animals home range

Drink zones all stay in the same home range or are all over the map depending on the species or map

[wind fractal]

Isn't there a website that has all the times

I was using Fandom but come to find out some of those times are way off

And yes im new to the game lol

[last hemlock]

I mean some of the content creators for this game post some decent maps but I recommend proxcks maps they are usually well made

Can anyone tent outpost for me

[proper mesa]

lazy

[last hemlock]

No I just got a ps5 and idk if theirs cross progression so I don’t feel like getting the outpost all over again bc I was on Xbox before

[proper mesa]

still lazy

[last hemlock]

Mhm Wtv 😭

[proper mesa]

mhm wtv

[wind fractal]

Thank u

[frosty moth]

there is not

i would just continute playing on xbox if i were you

since you lose all your dlc and levels and trophies and money

[obtuse lintel]

how can i recognize is mountain goat an albino?

[lethal sail]

Look for extremely white and not off white

@obtuse lintel

[obtuse lintel]

ok

[frosty moth]

you dont really

out hunting you can barely get a pov to see it properly

[obtuse lintel]

it looks like albino but its propably just white

or other beige

[frosty moth]

spot the albino

its a very small biege tint differance

[obtuse lintel]

that on right?

[frosty moth]

the left one is albino

[obtuse lintel]

oh no its first one

[frosty moth]

right is white

[obtuse lintel]

i see he has pink nose

xd

[frosty moth]

from that distance youre at i would not be able to tell you which is albino

[stone cliff]

Whats more worth it ambusher pack or high caliber pack?

[sly gull]

Depends about your play style and what DLCs you already have

[stone cliff]

Okay

And how can I play keyboard and mouse on xbox? I connect it but it doesnt work in cotw

[high nymph]

Does anyone have an idea why my game is crashing and so you know I'm on ps5

[frosty moth]

well ambusher gives you the 50 pounder bow, the moradi 44 and the e caller and the high caliber is a 308, 338 and 7mm rifle

[sly gull]

Nuh uh, high caliber is Arzyna

[frosty moth]

oh yeah the 10 gague and long range pistol too

just cos it has the arzyna in it makes it an L

ambusher betr

[sly gull]

I mean, I am not sure if I'd say that Ambusher is better

From my personal experience, Ambusher has been a bit disappointing

And high caliber at least has good shotgun for big game, and that 45-70 handgun is really good

[frosty moth]

actually its the 45 70 pistol not 243

[frosty moth]

boring

[last hemlock]

I bought the dlcs all ready and commuted but really don’t wanna get the outpost again😭

[sly gull]

Nah, it's great when you wanna have something for big animals just in case you see something

Like I have it on me all the time basically

While hunting with my .22H

[frosty moth]

nah thats any other handgun

454>

[sly gull]

I mean, for one kill every couple hours it doesn't really matter

I use it only when I see something diamond potential

[real steppe]

Anybody have any tips to find more area

Rares

[frosty moth]

kill alot of animals

rare furs are just percentage chances on respawn

you can do herd management and stuff if you wanna try and get a sr or specifically like a male but you just need to force alotta respawns

[real steppe]

Ok

[zealous wigeon]

Why you hating the arzyna?

[lyric musk]

my game keeps freezing once i get to the following blood trail part of loading in and i am wondering if anybody knwos how to fix this

[bronze knot]

do u have to buy this gun or do u unlock it by completing missions?

[frigid temple]

If I have male level 1 whitetail in my main zones do I shoot them or leave them?

[wise juniper]

Is it normal for foxes respawn to be level 4-5 very often?

[hardy sentinel]

Shoot it since it's in a main zone, only leave 1s if they're in exteriors

[hardy sentinel]

Chat I have a peculiar question

So basically, I set up on 8 zones and after 1 run, almost all my shooter males leave my main zones and go somewhere else, normally I'd say that it could maybe be bcs I don't have all zones for that species, but tbh it never effected it that much

For example, a few months ago (Around May), I randomly set up a non-hm Whitetail grind on Rev, all respawns were ok, I had about 35 - 40 zones discovered (approx 65 on Rev for Whitetail) I left that grind and a few months later set up on Moose, found all zones and set up on 8 zones, 2 males and 2 females, 1 run later I went from 16 males to 8. I changed zones and the most I could find that respawned were 10. This annoyed me so I went back to WT, this time attempting to hm, set up on 16 zones. Before this, I went and found a lot of zones, in total 61. I did 1 run and almost half my WT disappeared

This happened with Moose, WT and Pheasants, across different maps

The one thing that's confusing me is that not having each and every zone never affected me before, but now that I have all zones it's not working, has been happening since they changed the tent spook range on Pheasants, with Pheasants in particular, after the update came, I went from like 16 to 10 males

Any suggestions chat? Sorry for the yap yap yap lol

Yap is over

[devout elm]

how many moose zones should i have on layton

[hardy sentinel]

About 110 iirc

Yea around 110

I checked

[devout elm]

rlly bc ive combed my map like 3 times and i only have 86 do i need to find all my zones for non hm?

[hardy sentinel]

I'd say yes so your respawns are consistent, use this map as reference

[devout elm]

alr ty for the help imma comb my map once more

[hardy sentinel]

Sometimes they just don't appear on the 1st few runs around your map, idk how many times I had to run around my map to find all my WT zones

This is actually a very weird question…

I’ve got an idea for my Great One Grinding for my lodge, I’m taking every Great One with a new rifle and I use the rifle for the whole grind. The issue I have though is when I’m done with the rifle, I want to customize it to look like it was a golden gun for the lodge…

Does anyone have an idea what paints I can use for this?

[real steppe]

What’s the best way to hunt tigers to get diamonds

[nimble smelt]

[real steppe]

Ok should I put tents at each

[nimble smelt]

[serene patrol]

Only rare Piebald birds are Magpie and Green Winged Teal

[serene patrol]

Kk I just got a diamond piebald just was wondering

[strong scaffold]

Yall im looking to hunt goose and other birds aswell but i dont want to get both dlcs so which one would be the better one for all birds? Goose chaser dlc or duck and cover

[nimble smelt]

duck and cover

do you have revontuli?

[strong scaffold]

nah i got yukon and srp and te awaroa btw I am gonna get smoking barrels dlc for the miller model 1981 so why do you reccomend duck and cover more than goose

[nimble smelt]

well if you had revontuli you would already have canada goose decoys

actually you actually might have them

so with duck and cover you would get a better blind for them

[strong scaffold]

Thats the thing man i dont have revontulli

[nimble smelt]

you might have them since you got yukon

[strong scaffold]

Nah i dont have goose decoys

Do you still reccomend dcuk and cover?

[gray arrow]

hello I have problem with the hunter when I try to play multiplayer with my friend one day it's ok and the next I can't join because it throws me out at random moments or when I try to enter a multiplayer session pls help me

[tribal ledge]

Unfortunately, since the game is all peer-to-peer connections - it could be something as simple as one of the internet connections (yours or your friends) is a bit wobbly at the moment and causes desync/disconnect

[nimble smelt]

Nah. Get goose chase for now

Do you have the electronic caller?

[strong scaffold]

Oh god. I just bought the duck dlc..

[strong scaffold]

No i don't have that

[strong scaffold]

I just gott smoking barrells and duck and cover should i still be trying for the goose or no

[nimble smelt]

You're better off getting revontuli then

[low pagoda]

Can crocs scare away banteng

[ruby frigate]

Yes

[cold agate]

This drink spot appears often but it goes away? I've found it 3 times

[cold citrus]

Why do my black bear times on SRP still say 20:00-0:00

[ruby frigate]

Maybe you kill something and then the zone dissapears and new ones vome

[ruby frigate]

Not updated sice change mb

[cold agate]

I dunno I don't think I've ever touched it but I've been real careful not to make any dead zone pressure so there's no reason for it to just go away💀

[cold citrus]

So how does it fix then?

[ruby frigate]

Is the bears drinking between 20-00

[fleet remnant]

Why do some of the animals in my trophy lodge don’t display their rank?

[ruby frigate]

Wdym by rank

[fleet remnant]

Their number

I don’t know what it’s called

[cold agate]

Trophy score?

[fleet remnant]

Yeah

[cold citrus]

Uh soms of them

[crystal ingot]

i need help to chose an dlc to buy people say that the modern weapon pack is the best for new players but i kinda liked the one whit the eletronic caller what should i get?

[ruby frigate]

Weird

Um you could create dead zone lol

[ruby frigate]

I like maps

[crystal ingot]

but the maps i can just enter an online one

[ruby frigate]

Could be modded

[crystal ingot]

?

[cold agate]

Unless you're on console

[crystal ingot]

btw anyone knows how to fix the windoned game wen alt tab?

[crystal ingot]

im on pc

[cold agate]

Then yeah you gotta be careful of modded maps on multi

[ruby frigate]

Crtl shift esc

[crystal ingot]

how do i know that the map is modded?

[ruby frigate]

Can be hard to tell sometimes, but if you see a lot of diamonds or rare fur types

[cold agate]

I've never experienced one bc I don't play multi so tbh I wouldn't know aside from too many diamonds and rares

Yeah

[crystal ingot]

ok but my acount is in risk in that maps?

[ruby frigate]

Maybe also if the owner is cheating, running too fast unlimited ammo and so on

[deep obsidian]

Anyone know when theres going to be a discount on dlcs on steam like there was in the winter?

[cold agate]

Idk how it works but I think your profile and account are fine if you find one

[ruby frigate]

No but you can get trophys that aint legit

[tribal ledge]

Spring sale probably

[crystal ingot]

ok so its just an unetical way to get things?

[tribal ledge]

there's a big seasonal sale for each quarter

[deep obsidian]

Okey thank you

[cold agate]

Which you can do but it's heavily frowned upon for obvious reasons and you will definitely get called out

If you share it on here or post it

[tribal ledge]

Modded servers can also impact your save

[ruby frigate]

It counts as cheating if you do even if wasnt intentional

[crystal ingot]

got it

[ruby frigate]

Just be carefull

[tribal ledge]

I had to wipe a save when I accidentally hosted one, and a dude spawned a bunch of things that I didnt know about
reopened the map (yukon) in single player and lions were running around

so..

It can cook your files

[ruby frigate]

Thats only when you host right?

[cold agate]

Wtf noted to always make sure I only have it set at 2 player so no one else joins after friends💀

[crystal ingot]

so returning to the DLCs what should i get?

[tribal ledge]

Thats the last time I hosted a map, so in my case yes
I do not know (as I dont MP with anyone I dont trust) if joining a map that gets modded can still impact you but tbh

I would just treat it as a possibility.

[ruby frigate]

Alright

[ruby frigate]

I like mordern rifle pack, but its your choice

[tribal ledge]

Rather be wary and safe than get all the crusties in your game

[sly gull]

Weapon packs 2 and 3 are both great

[sly gull]

.

Sorry, wrong ping

[crystal ingot]

So i get the wepons 2 and then the 3?

Or instead the 3 i get electronic caller?

Can i repor a cheater directly to a dev?

Whit a clip to prove it

[dry lily]

I have an odd thing on my two base game reserves when looking at the map. Both Hirsch and Leyton have all the lookouts unlocked and maps revealed, but all the outposts and lookouts are still marked 'Undiscovered' when I hover my mouse cursor over those spots. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm playing on PC.

[ruby frigate]

You can report thier name at the website

[spark basalt]

there is still mods on console its just way rarer

[cold agate]

I've heard but I saw another comment saying it wasn't a thing so I wasn't sure 💀

[drifting niche]

Anyone know how many fallow zones I'm supposed to have on te awaroa ?

[devout elm]

if im not doing hm do i have to have all my zones and how many zones do i set up on for moose on layton?

[nimble smelt]

set up on about 10

don't need to find all zones but it's good to do if one of your zone breaks

[sick plover]

If I get cotw on Xbox gamepass for pc could I still play with my buddy on Xbox?

[nimble smelt]

only set up on zones with 2 males 2 females or 1 male 2 female, and make sure they're not solo males or females

[nimble smelt]

No

[fringe nebula]

Similar thing happened to me

Not exactly that but it was pretty

[broken oxide]

What are the best reserves to buy?

[nimble smelt]

it's all personal preference

[fleet remnant]

What’s the difference between caribou in Yukon and rain deer in medved

[nimble smelt]

weight is different

and the rares are different

[craggy obsidian]

What the best way to get money?

[nimble smelt]

shoot stuff

and harvest it

[craggy obsidian]

@nimble smelt lol ok

[tranquil tundra]

joining a modded game can mess up your levels and cash amount

[drifting niche]

Anyone know why my game keeps crashing on te awaroa? I'm trying to grind fallow its crashed 3 times in the last hour. I'm on ps5

I've crashed a few times on other maps but not this frequently and it's always right after I shoot a deer

[static minnow]

Sorry, just bumping my question again here as no one answered it

[pine spruce]

Pc player, how do I get past being stuck on please wait checking installed content? Trying to customize a ground blind

It does not do this for weapons

[mossy schooner]

is there a perk or skill that tells you the color of the fur through the spotter scope? or the pattern?

[old ridge]

any tips on getting more money and higher level?

[mossy schooner]

Croc hunt the gold Coast for cash

East side of the map. I do warringa pass all the way north til the marsh

[old ridge]

yeah well im level 4

so i dont think i can get there

[mossy schooner]

I think if you play multiplayer you don't need to buy the map

[old ridge]

and what gun for croc hunt?

[olive meteor]

They have slightly different models but same antlers and scoring

[mossy schooner]

Anything that can handle class 8

I bought some weapon packs, so I use the tsurugi .338

@old ridge there's an android app called cotw companion, shows you all the weapons the work for whatever animal you're hunting

[old ridge]

I’m on iPhone

[pine spruce]

Not thru the scope tmk but there is one which will unlock a new track type called disturbed vegetation. It makes path following easier by giving denser trails and the track itself gives the animal fur type and class.

[old ridge]

Available on iPhone?

[mossy schooner]

@pine spruce if I spot the animal, but don't check their tracks does it still show it?

@old ridge I don't know I don't have an iphone

The app icon is the same icon for the game

[pine spruce]

I do not think it will. You can tell fur types thru the scope thru training ur eye tho, for most species. Some may have colors that look kinda similar to normal colors i think ive had that with tundra bean goose

[mossy schooner]

Ahh gotcha, I keep seeing grey Crocs that look black and I keep thinking their melanistic, was hoping to change that lol. I'll just find a reference image

Thanks man!

[pliant comet]

Best map for moosr G1 grind ?

[mossy schooner]

Lotta drinking spots on Yukon valley

[pine spruce]

Oh yeah crocs can be sus too. Def look into it and the more you play the better youll get at telling them apart

[solid jewel]

So, I kinda forgot I downed a tiger somewhere and didn't pick him up, so I reset the time and left to main menu, to join back again

He's gonna respawn right? Or do I havr to find his body?

[marsh gale]

i saw a black springbok, whats that mean? im an extremely new player

[mossy schooner]

@old ridge I was mistaken, it's the emerald coast

not gold

[pine spruce]

Ugh can animals go to different need zones than you previously saw it at? Or if you camp their need zone 1hr ingame time before do they not come to it?

[mossy schooner]

I know if it's a hunted zone they can shift, but as I understand u hunted zones always attract during need times

[pine spruce]

Ah ok. Its a fox zone so im only expecting 1 to 2 and havent seen either yet. 1730 in game maybe i should give a little more time.

[solid jewel]

Black springboks are uncommon, but they look kinda cool!

[mossy schooner]

I think they are guaranteed to show up, but I don't know if the when is guaranteed

I assumed an hour after the time started they should be there

There's some sort of grace period for travel

Not sure how long

[pine spruce]

Yeah. Wiki says they may also shift within 200m of the sone.

OOH MALE VOCALIZATION

[marsh gale]

it find if i dm you?

[pine spruce]

Oh my message got deleted? Did i break a rule? Iirc i linked wiki for fur variation rates

Its def fine to dm tho

[frosty moth]

the mods dont like it because its datamined data

[quartz vector]

Hi, I'm doing herd management and red deer stacking, I just started and I saw a level 9 in an area outside the shooting lakes, I'll let it live right?

[stray parcel]

anyone an idea if brown bear works like foxes? cause i see many pairs, last time i ask, people weren't sure about it

[lean temple]

from what i've seen just shoot the males, the respawn mechanics for both bears n foxes r diff if im correct

the males will respawn in the zone, i havent done a bear grind but that's what ive seen

[craggy obsidian]

What's best map for a white tail deer grateone grind

And what the easiest great one to get

[pliant comet]

i think red deer is easiest to get and best map for white tail is prob revontuli

[craggy obsidian]

@pliant comet thanks

[quartz vector]

Does anyone know how to help me before I mess up again?😅

[craggy obsidian]

With what

[quartz vector]

What I wrote in the message😅

[craggy obsidian]

Umm I would get the 270 and get him in the lungs

[quartz vector]

This is my first time doing herd management and stacking, but I don't remember if level 9s should be left alive at the beginning or not, regardless of the shooting zone or outside

red deer I mean

[hardy sentinel]

9s should be kept alive if they're in a main zone, if they're in exteriors then shoot them

This is true for any hm grind, max levels should be kept alive in main zones in the beginning

Then after you fully manage your map then you can shoot all the dimes in your main zones

[quartz vector]

Ok, thanks for the reply.
My main zones are 4 on awaroa, the level 9 are outside of these so I'm shooting.
Very kind.😉
I know this whole process will be very long, bringing all the external zones under level 5, but I want to try

[real steppe]

What’s the most efficient way to hunt for tigers since once u kill them they fo to new spots each time

[hardy sentinel]

They have different home ranges, so I'd set up on as many home ranges as possible, covering all lakes for each home range

[real steppe]

Ok I heard about a 3-lake rotation does that still work

[hardy sentinel]

Yes, but they don't respawn immidiately anymore

[real steppe]

Ok

[warm tendon]

Hey uhm just wondering, can i ask questions for ps4/5 here? Did google for 3 days but didnt find anything that'd help ^^'

[tribal ledge]

we can try 😄

[warm tendon]

Would be cool tho.. well i did somehow manage to lose my huntermate..? 😂

I bought my first own weapon, tried to place it on the quick select wheel and neither does a button rebind work, or map change or restart. And as far as i know, the huntermate is no item in your inventory right?

Oh and i didnt play MP by now, single player only cuz its damn cozy lol

[hollow veldt]

Try hitting L1?

Imma boot up but wanna say off muscle.memory L1 pulls out the huntermate

[warm tendon]

most common advice, pressed it, held it, everything xD

And yes its L1

I mean the HM is not important right?

[hollow veldt]

I never really use it myself tbh. On a rare occasion when I'm tracking a blood trail but very seldom now with a dog

[warm tendon]

Quests can be done with or without it, and tracing aimals is easy anyway soo idk what i need it anyway for

Yea thats why i bought the dog

[hollow veldt]

Yeah it's honestly not at all game breaking or even game changing. But still very curious

[mossy schooner]

noticed lions seem to be the most skittish ive hunted so far, whats the range before you gotta stop runnin? seems like with bears i can run til about 150, then walk in a bit closer, but lions if i think of moving within 200 they spook

[last hemlock]

how would yall hit this lake cause i cant figure it out

[real wing]

Uhhh...... what's out there...?

[wise juniper]

Hirshfelden

[dreamy lantern]

It happened to me once. It was a bug, came back after I rebooted ky ps5.

[severe hare]

Playing without hud and disabled infos (tracks etc) the hm is very useful. If you play with all the blingbling on you rarely need it.

[dreamy lantern]

Has anyone tried herd managing tigers by stacking male 5s and 6s on the map?

[real steppe]

I just killed out one of my yak drink zones is that bad when I want to do a yak grind later

[silver cove]

anyone has chart of hearing distance for animals

[fierce wave]

Rule 5 dude

[fierce wave]

If you haven't started it no

[fierce wave]

That ranges depending on animal level and terrain

So it's really hard to make one and also perks and back packs

[severe hare]

There are still players with backpacks? 🤪

[dry lily]

Q: If I play a MP session on a Reserve DLC that I don't own yet and visit all the lookout points while in that session and then later on decide to buy that DLC, does the map stay revealed, or will I have to visit them again?

[last hemlock]

I’ve seen this YouTuber of COTW and she had a discord server with a lot to know about maps her name is LadyLegendXO what’s her discord server

[ruby frigate]

One sec

[last hemlock]

Thank you very much

[ruby frigate]

np

[ruby frigate]

They stay revealed

[dry lily]

Tyvm, was just about to ask you if you can help me with my Q, you must be a mind reader 😎

[craggy obsidian]

How do you play with friends?

[ruby frigate]

Add friend then invite, note you'll have to be logged in and someone has to create a map

[craggy obsidian]

Ok thanks @ruby frigate

[ruby frigate]

Np, just tag me if you run ito some problems

[craggy obsidian]

Alr

[old ridge]

Hey can someone help me? I’m level 4 and I need money fast

[craggy obsidian]

what DLC should I get

[low pagoda]

Why can magpie geese detect me from the air if I’m in a blind

[wary rampart]

crocs

[low pagoda]

Makes sense they spook banteng too

[wary rampart]

yes 😦

[river osprey]

why does my game always crash when I try to go to saeska safari lodge??

spring creek works fine but when I try to go to the safari one the game crashes

[old ridge]

Hey you play on Xbox?

[craggy obsidian]

@old ridge I do

[old ridge]

Hi

PM me

[craggy obsidian]

@old ridge DM?

[old ridge]

Yea

[hardy sparrow]

Trying to get quick cash to complete taxidermies . What map/animals should I farm?

[low pagoda]

Crocs on emerald coast

Run up the beach on the right side of the map from 16-20

[hardy sparrow]

👌🏻👌🏻 appreciate it

[old ridge]

Is it worth to buy the ultimate hunting bundle or the weapons and companions bundle

[mossy schooner]

The dogs might be nice for bird hunting, I haven't done much of that. But I find companions kind of useless for big game. They are pretty easy to track once you've shot them

[fast solstice]

When i wanna play on a dlc reserve with my friend
Do they also need to have the dlc?

[sly gull]

Nope

Only the host has to own it

[fast solstice]

Oh, alr thanks a lot :D

[mossy schooner]

not seeing anything on the wiki, is there a wayy to hide your scent from lions other than skills/perks?

[frail zodiac]

Scent eliminator

And have the wind blowing away from them

[mossy schooner]

i know the wind thing, im just really trying not to go set another 15 tents up

[frail zodiac]

I don’t see how that has anything to do with scent…

[mossy schooner]

to set up on the other side of a lake so wind is blowing away from the lake

and i can just hop lake to lake

[willow wing]

Wind shifts randomly so that isn’t necessary

[frail zodiac]

If you’re fast traveling everything is gonna spook from that before it does your scent

[willow wing]

Exactly

[mossy schooner]

my fast travel spots are about 250m away from the lakes

so i still have some walking to do, but a lot less

[frail zodiac]

Wind doesn’t effect anything until about 50m probably at the farthest

[fading iron]

yes 250m is spook range so anything about 250m+ is good

[mossy schooner]

oh really?

[frail zodiac]

It’s closer to 210 but yes

[mossy schooner]

i didnt know it was that close

so they must be hearing me and then spooking

[frail zodiac]

That’s definitely it

[mossy schooner]

whats the best way for me to figure out an aanimals auditory range?

[frail zodiac]

Watch it and when it starts to go alert slow down

[fringe nebula]

do male black bear spawn back into their zones if ive only killed the male and not the female

[nimble smelt]

they're not pair animals

they're solos

[fringe nebula]

got it

[paper lava]

does anyone have a layton lakes guide map?

[turbid inlet]

For what

[scenic berry]

So if im doing a pheasnt grind and i kill the males how long till they respawn or how do i make them respawn faster if possible (im new to grinding sorry for all the questions)

[frigid temple]

I think from what I've heard it's 15-20 mins (irl time)

[scenic berry]

so do i just wait and pause my grind till they respawn

[frosty rose]

Anybody have a call for Eurasian Wigeons? I have the africa DLC and i don’t want to buy more DLC.

[nimble smelt]

do you have the electronic caller?

[frigid temple]

I haven't grinded pheasants myself yet but I feel like as you are doing it the 15 mins will pass and by the time your done a rotation the first zones should have respawned (idk for sure though)

[frosty rose]

No sir

[frosty rose]

No sir

[nimble smelt]

dang

[frosty rose]

Anything i can do ?

[nimble smelt]

do you have wigeon decoys?

[frosty rose]

No

Only mallard

and turkey

[nimble smelt]

Youch

Not really much you can do without getting revontuli

[frosty rose]

Am i just SOL?

Damn

[lyric musk]

i love when i cant load up cotw becuase my game frezzes at tracking blood trail help

[scenic berry]

rotations for me take bout 10-12 minutes depending on how far they fly once shot cuz u only have like 13 zones

[stray flax]

For the first time tomorrow since launch in 2017, i will play multiplayer

How do I host a multiplayer game on xbox for just a friend (aka not public) ? Thanks for letting me know

[willow marsh]

I’m on my last mission for Vurhonga Savanna, which is getting a heart shot with a bow. Anyone know what’s easiest/animal has the biggest heart? I’ve been getting so close with Gemsbok

[fading iron]

buffalo and wildebeest are probably easy enough, shoot one check the xray on where the heart is

[wind fractal]

So on the diamond scoring is 98.02 the lowest or the highest

[fading iron]

wdym?

when you look at the rating of an animal, are you talking about those number?

is so for example if it said 98.02 then yes, thats the minimum it could score for diamond

[wind fractal]

So when u look on steam for pronghorn for instance gold is 75 and diamond is 98.02

[fading iron]

yes anything 75-98.01 is gold on the pronghorn

anything 98.02+ would be diamond with obviously passing all the harvest checks

so proper caliber along with a vital shot

[wind fractal]

So the numbers it shows r the lowest for each and I got it thank u very much

[fading iron]

yes, exactly. no problem

[shadow pike]

Why are all the ducks spooking as soon as I spot them in multiplayer

Well I figured it out but it don’t help

My noise meter is stuck at the max when I approach my setup

Not even just the setup

It’s stuck on the max even when I’m prone not moving

[fierce wave]

Yeah restart your game

[wind fractal]

Do u get more money for rare furs

And it's a female bighorn sheep

[dry path]

far as i know not

[pallid holly]

Hello, I have started playing The Hunter Classic but when I want to enter a game I always get a connection error and I don't know what it could be.

[pliant comet]

What is the best Counter App ?

[dry path]

are the trophy lodge bugs fixed?

[tribal ledge]

You might be better off going to id:customize and choosing classic, and then asking in #491900827686928384
The channel you are in rn is for call of the wild

[pallid holly]

okey sorry

[tribal ledge]

np

[sly gull]

Don't think so

[green pivot]

helpppp can't find any gadwalls where are they ?

i tried this i forgot a spot

[green pivot]

guess i'll keep trying 🥲

[unreal mango]

Hey guys! i have a question

[willow wing]

And I have an answer

[unreal mango]

what is it ???

[willow wing]

Depends on your question

[unreal mango]

anyway what should i do when i want to see meters when im scoping my binoculars

[willow wing]

Go into settings and change your measurements to metric

[unreal mango]

thats all ??

[willow wing]

Or are you talking about getting the rangefinder Binos?

[unreal mango]

huh what is that

[willow wing]

It’s another pair of binoculars that has a built in range finder

[unreal mango]

no im talking about the free one the first one

[willow wing]

Oh

[unreal mango]

what ?

[willow wing]

Well you can’t unless you get the rangefinder binoculars

[tribal ledge]

are you on pc?

[unreal mango]

that is which one

[willow wing]

That’s the only way to see your range through binos unless you use the rangefinder

[unreal mango]

okay thanks

[tribal ledge]

You can also set a waypoint when looking through binos
(R) on PC - and it sorta falsely does the thing.

[fringe nebula]

am i supposed to shoot black bears during my G1 grind

[tribal ledge]

It's not terribly accurate

[tribal ledge]

well yes, but no.
Female bears afaik have no bearing on the G1 spawning

[fringe nebula]

so does that mean that they dont affect herd managment>

[tribal ledge]

I do not think they do - but I would let someone else chime in

I have yet to grind the bears

[fringe nebula]

alright thx

ill wait for another response

not sure since for every other grind u cant shoot females

[willow wing]

I wouldn’t shoot females

Are you doing herd management?

[fringe nebula]

just starting it

[unreal mango]

guys and how do i can spot animals with guns when im scoping

?

[fringe nebula]

its a skill

[willow wing]

It’s a skill

[fringe nebula]

sight spotting

[willow wing]

Yeah leave all the females

[fringe nebula]

okay thanks

[unreal mango]

thanks

[willow wing]

Np

[wise juniper]

If im grinding racoon dogs on the island, and i shoot like level 8 not on the island but i keep his female, will that make my respawn better?

[willow wing]

No I think the are like foxes , you gotta shoot the zone out before you get your respawn

[wise juniper]

So what my respawn won't get better if i shot the 8 mythical?

Only

[willow wing]

I think so that’s how foxes work from what I’ve heard

[rough bronze]

is there any sort of auto zeroing? I somehow always forget to check my zero distance, I'll spend 20 minutes getting within 82 yards of something and take the shot while zeroed for 328

[heavy wigeon]

hi!! I've been getting into the game and wondered if there was a good beginner guide anywhere?

also for reference im playing on the savannah reserve

[last hemlock]

They work like muntjac and both foxes you gotta kill the pair to get respawns

Nothing will respawn from that unless you kill them both

[tribal ledge]

Your very best "beginner guide"
Is gonna be hopping onto Layton Lakes and Hirsch and doing the missions. They will teach you ALL the basics of how to play

That said - checking out some of our resident partnered content creators is going to be your best bet on learning tips and tricks.
Some of the ones that people like to watch the most are:

• Scarecrow
• MelsGaming
• Flintor
• ProXCK
• RonMcTube
• LadyLegend

I believe ALL of them have youtube channels and some might have twitch accts too

[last hemlock]

May I add that proxck has his hotspot maps that work pretty well to find animals

Honestly for beginner guides Ron might be the best imo his vids feel more in depth but the others are pretty solid

[tribal ledge]

Oh right

lemme edit that

[wise juniper]

Yes but does that mean that i will get better respawns on the island

[willow wing]

Pro XCKs maps for where animals are located are EXTREMELY helpful for new players , I would download them/save them as soon as possible

Why you questioning me Lego my eggo

[frail zodiac]

Just noting how you said to download them lol

[willow wing]

Yeah download the PNGs

Like I did on my phone

[last hemlock]

I'm not entirely sure how those types of respawns work the way I did was just keep stuff 6-8 on the island

But it seemed to consistently spawn larger foxes for me

I believe it should work with racc dogs

[lean granite]

will we ever be seeing a crossplatform version of cotw?

[nimble smelt]

No

[primal reef]

Well its not been confirmed, its just unlikely.

[heavy wigeon]

hi i'm looking for these now, but all I can find is a youtube channel? Is there a certain map you mean ?

[lean granite]

y

[primal reef]

Unsure.

[lean granite]

it would be awesome

[nimble smelt]

Can't afford to create a new engine to support it

Even if they could afford it, they wouldn't do it because a new engine would mean old gen consoles can't play

[lean granite]

but atleast new gen consoles could play

[hardy sentinel]

Then they'd lose a lot of players, a lot of ppl still have old gen

[nimble smelt]

new gen consoles can already play lol

[hardy sentinel]

And that

There isn't a ps5 version but the game is still very good on the ps4 version on a ps5

Reminded me of something lol

[old onyx]

Honestly, if they were to go through the effort needed to add crossplatform support they would be better off making cotw 2

[fringe nebula]

does zone swapping still work for black bears?

[nimble smelt]

yup

[fringe nebula]

thanks

ive been doing my black bear GO wrong

never did zone swapping

[slow bronze]

quick question im new if im heard managing red deer and there is 2 that are 5 or above do i shoot the biggest one?

[lavish sparrow]

Does anyone play on PlayStation that wants to play together?

[young kernel]

I play on playstation

[frigid temple]

If I find a zone for ducks will the same group come back or will a different one show up?

[nimble smelt]

same group

[frigid temple]

Okay thx

[near schooner]

Which is the strongest and quietest bow?

[zenith nova]

Hawk Edge CB-70

[high stream]

What are some good spots for Beginner on rancho del roa

[frosty moth]

I believe they're all the same noise profile

but I mean the "strongest" is technically any of the 70 pounders like the hawk edge or 70 pound recurves but the 50/60/65 pounders all do fine too cos of how strong the arrows are

the draw weight mostly just effects the speed/drop/wind effect of the arrows will double lung anything

[pliant comet]

Yo @frosty moth

From how far can i enter a ground blind from the red fox drink zone for them not to hear me

[frosty moth]

uhh i didnt know entering has a spook radius

ive entered stands/blinds within 120 meters which is well under the tent/placement spook radius

[pliant comet]

Ok i thought a ground blind has a spook radius just like a tent and a tripod ?

So a ground blind doesnt have a spook radius ?

[frosty moth]

tripods only spook on placement not entering

ive defo entered tripods within like 100 meters when im doing fallow on te awaroa

[pliant comet]

Oh wth ok

[pliant comet]

@frosty moth do treestands have a entering spook radius ?

[frosty moth]

i asume they work the same as tripods but I don't use them often because they only work on 1 kind or tree and sometimes don't even work on certain maps or areas

they're so useless

[blazing wagon]

I made a cartridge / caliber guide chart with real live data

[formal carbon]

For A Tip Download The COTW Companion App It Tells You Everything You Need To Know About Animals And Maps And Need Zones.

[frosty moth]

hm yes "357 h&h" (im asuming a typo for 375)

also "480 socom"

also i dont think we have any direct confirmation that the 338 ingame is lapua mag and not just win mag

[near moss]

Who has a moose set up on Layton that’s willing to help me set up and tell me what to do ?

[frosty moth]

also some guns are missing if you were intending to include them all

[frosty moth]

ill also preface that 480 socom isnt a caliber, that would be 458 socom and its 450 bushmaster not 458 socom

[formal carbon]

I do moose on medved but I might be able to help

@near moss

DMS

[near moss]

Ok ty

Literally I just got the g1 bear to spawn

[formal carbon]

Nice bro l

Good luck on moose

I'm tryna get my first GO

[near moss]

I’m gonna go post it in the trophies not gonna shot it yet tho

[blazing wagon]

Thanks, I'll fix this

[wanton haven]

Im debating what dlc pack to get for a class 9, im pretty new to the game but love hunting lions so far but its not great when u dont have the proper weapon for it, what do people recommend? No bows/crossbows.

[lethal bronze]

Arzyna for sure, currently grinding for a diamond lion myself

[wanton haven]

is it better than the .375?

[copper arch]

Any idea for best places and times for whitetailed jack rabbit to me they are more elusive then the bangle tiger and snow leopard

[lethal bronze]

Less recoil iirc, also bigger mag so you can take more follow up shots and faster

[wanton haven]

alright, ill try it out.

[wanton haven]

Wich one of the ammo types are better?

also does anyone know if this game can be made window fullscreen somehow?

[lethal bronze]

I always go penetration ammo

[frosty moth]

it's worse but it's semi auto (boring)

the 375 is better if you can aim since itll double lung anything

plus the high caliber pack doesn't really have anything useful in it except the arzyna

it comes with the 10 gauge with 4 rounds and the 45 70 pistol

[kindred ore]

wddddddddddd

uhyhgtyh~tygyrttdrdws36t

0pg06gtredwertr

[white pendant]

how to play whit someone on anhoter platform?

[pliant comet]

You cant

The game is not cross platform

[hushed helm]

Did whitetail drink times change on revontuil, cus they are not there when it's their drink time?

[serene patrol]

No

[willow wing]

8-11 or 12

[primal reef]

8-12 on all maps but rancho i believe for WT

[hushed helm]

Yeah I set it at those times, evan do 1 minute trick, have not shot or spooked the zone and it's still not there

[primal reef]

You tenting tho?

[hushed helm]

Ye, I have them 200m away

[primal reef]

I recommend doing 230, as the zone can be 50m away from the zone icon.

[hushed helm]

Ok

They were fine before

Evan at places with no tents no whitetale

[primal reef]

Thats strange.

[tidal goblet]

Have you tried setting the time to 10 and then do the one minute trick?

[hushed helm]

I will try that

[primal reef]

Another one actually how many do you kill per run? @hushed helm As you should be killing around 10-15 a run for them as they are also kill based from what we grinders have figured out

[hushed helm]

I have not killed anything for a while since i was grinding on another map

[primal reef]

Did u finish the run before leaving last time?

[hushed helm]

Idk

Prob not

[primal reef]

Okay, that could be something to. I recommend staying on them ap for 15 minutes so 1 hour in game and you may have ur WT back if not then unsure

[hushed helm]

Ok

Thanks for help

[primal reef]

Np

[meager hornet]

Whats the best way to hunt a tiger with a bow?

How do I attract them more easily

[hollow veldt]

Only real option is the distressed fawn caller to my knowledge. Or just use yourself as bait

Anybody know offhand how many spotted (dead) animals the map tracks? Sometimes it seems to keep the icons for a while regardless of spotting, other times newly spotted living animals seem to over write the dead ones

[meager hornet]

Well im the bait usualy

I need either a friend or a dog

Just hypotheticaly if i were to use a scent eliminator and my friend not

Would the tiger target him?

[hollow veldt]

I'm not sure honestly, not something I've ever tried. The dog can be helpful for growl and give you some warning, but I found mine pretty often got stuck on a tree in that map and left me hanging lol

[meager hornet]

Well i usualy hunt it at night with just a bow and no dog

Love the thrill but i need a friend so 1 can kill the tiger if the other dies

[severe hare]

Or simple dont die. 🙃

[hollow veldt]

I gave up on bow hunting them after a couple Tigers took a killshot but still got me before they died haha

[meager hornet]

I dont believe in it

[meager hornet]

Yeah thats rough

[meager hornet]

Thats really hard tho

Even the orange tiger is invisible without spot in the shadows

[forest echo]

Is the mythical and gray-colored brown bear a diamond-level animal?

[brazen socket]

No, unfortunately the Spirit fur on the Brown Bear isn't rare, it's Uncommon - cool looking though

[brazen socket]

Oh, mb I read that as a rare question

[forest echo]

but is a mythical animal diamond or gold level

[brazen socket]

it's a Gold - needs to be a 9-Legendary to be diamond

[forest echo]

thanks for the information

[high stream]

How do I link my Xbox account for some respawn it’s not already logged in(in pc x box app)

[frigid temple]

How bad is it to accidentally shoot females when trying to do hm?

[brazen socket]

Not worth worrying about, just keep shooting

[tawny dust]

If I don’t get a vital on a great one will it mess it up?

[nimble smelt]

yes

[frigid temple]

Alright thanks

[near rain]

Anyone on Ps with good knowledge on moose grinding dm me?

[tidal goblet]

An 8 can be diamond can it not?

[willow wing]

Nope

[brazen socket]

Possibly, but I've never got one. Somebody in here must know

[willow wing]

Only 8s that can make it are I believe gray fox

[proper mesa]

(tiger water buffalo)

[willow wing]

Thank you

There was one more I think

[brazen socket]

Bobcat?

[willow wing]

Meh they fixed that I think

[nimble smelt]

tiger, water buffaler, and yak mainly

[proper mesa]

YAK

[civic cedar]

Diamond spirit brown bear is one of my dream trophies. Love that fur type

[fiery trench]

Hey everyone I’m doing a great one red fox grind on the Australia map and I’m doing it on the two lakes and I can’t get many fox’s to spawn in I get lot of solo girls and I get 1 to 0 boy over the two lakes what should I do to make more boy fox’s spawn in or how to get just more boy on that lake . If anyone know it would be great if you could help me out

[frosty moth]

have you only been killing males and none of the females?

cos if its a fox duo then generally you have to kill the paired male and female to get them to respawn

[fiery trench]

I have been killing both but some have been I big groups like 1 boy and 3 girls so I’m not sure what to do

[marsh gale]

got aquestion about a croc i got if anyone could help

[fiery trench]

I can help

[marsh gale]

725 albino, that rare?

[fiery trench]

Yeab thats a rare and it a gold I think let me check

No it’s silver

[marsh gale]

i did get a gold dark brown one

[fiery trench]

Yeah nice that’s not rare but still good

[marsh gale]

what would the best non dlc lodge be if theres more than one then? wannaput both of em in

[fiery trench]

The African one I’m not sure of the name

[frosty moth]

theres only 1 non dlc lodge which is the layton cabin

saseka and manor are dlc (saseka is the best out of the 3 though)

[marsh gale]

aight thanks

[wanton haven]

what do people hunt for exp? Ive bene hunting mostly bigger things but thought about maybe doing birds next also, any good birds for exp?

[desert atlas]

So when placing decoys i understand 20 is the max but is that for the decoys type or species
For example can you play 20 goose searching and 20 goose feeding or is it 20 for the animal in general

[ruby frigate]

type, 20 feeding 20 drinking and so on

[latent cedar]

any bowhunters out there got some decent feedback on how to account for wind other than the direction meter in the HUD. some of the shots with the bow aren't too bad and can be fairly accurate but i've noticed that the crossbow yaws pretty hard to the left and does it consistently.

is it as simple as trying to gauge it on surround movements (tall grass etc) or is there actually some method that works, beyond just lots of practise

[frosty moth]

there are skills that can tell you wind speed

[latent cedar]

well that makes sense. lol. i have no perks/skills in archery haha. thanks, i'll think about a respec

[frosty moth]

there should be a couple that do similar things but I forgot where they were

[latent cedar]

no worries. thanks for the assist

[frosty moth]

it does mean you would have to give up zeroing though since they're all active abilities

[severe hare]

You dont need the wind skill with a bow, cuz you aim at close range. Usually 2-40m, only at low classes like fox or boar up to 60/70m. If there should be strong wind, try to stay below 35/40m.
If you plan to use the bow more often, there are a few points to spend for "must have" perks.

Cant say anything about xbow, cuz i dont use them a lot.

[latent cedar]

thanks. appreciate it

[severe hare]

I use a mixed build with mule perk, no active skills. Bow as main (with 2 backup pistols for class 1-9),and rifles as secondary for farming etc.

Playing without hud/infos.

[ruby frigate]

Hey, I was planning on setting up a grind and I want to buy the dlc, ground bind with no roof basically, now I think it's the ducks and cover dlc, but wanna make sure its the best one

[night vine]

i've found a trivial female red deer
is this rare?

i've never seen one before

[lament arch]

is it confirmed that you need to kill a whole group for ducks to respawn?

[frosty moth]

difficult 2 trivial? isn't trivial 1

2 should be minor

a difficulty 2 female red isn't rare from my experience but I'm confused on how it says trivial 2

[night vine]

Maybe the language I play is different, I will change the language later to take a look

[frigid temple]

Just making sure stack diamonds in main zones then shoot exteriors down then shoot the diamonds?

[night vine]

yes, it's the language I use that makes this exchange of 2 trivial and 1 INSIGNIFICANT

[fickle anvil]

help what map is the easiest to hunt in?

[umbral tide]

For me prob emerald coast

For me tho

[frigid temple]

I'd probably say either silver ridge or emerald coast just really depends on what you want to shoot (like big game or small)

[fickle anvil]

whatever is better for low skilled players

[frigid temple]

Probably emerald coast since the crocs pay a lot and are easy to kill (but you would need a big weapon)

[fickle anvil]

what requires more skill small or big game?

[frigid temple]

Small game like birds are easy (in my opinion) but you would be using a 22 (or shotguns) if you want ethical kills which is a medium range gun but also bison are really stupid and you can kill a ton

So like I said just depends on what you want. Emerald coast has a few bigger animals like crocs, banteng, and kangaroos while silver ridge has more medium sized animals and the biggest animals there are bison and bear

[frigid temple]

Can level 8 red deer make diamond?

[fickle anvil]

best silver ridge loadout?

[frigid temple]

Idk the best one but I normally use a .22, 7mm, and a shotgun with birdshot

[quartz vector]

Hi, I'm doing the red deer grind, I managed to knock down 3 zones, I returned to those zones after some time and in one I found two level 7s, a level 6 and a level 5, in another I found two level 5s.
How is this possible?

[frigid temple]

Jumpers

[inland ridge]

Hi im new to the game and im trying to kill moose in layton i think it was with the 7mm cuz i thought it would be nice to buy a Dlc but every time i hit one and shoot close to its middle it always says ''No Vital organs hit'' so i need advice how to kill them

[fading iron]

aim near the shoulder to hit the lung of an animal

[inland ridge]

alr thx

[quartz vector]

What does it mean?

[long ice]

animals that go from herd to herd

[quartz vector]

Oh ok, so I also have to check the felled areas more often.
Many times I go to a drinking zone and at 7:15 the deer have not spawned yet, is this normal?

[long ice]

it's fairly normal, they tend to be late

[quartz vector]

slow down the grind.😵‍💫
Thanks for the replies💯

[frigid temple]

If I have 2 zones that are close to each other would both of them be main zones if one has only small males, and should I stack diamonds in it or just shoot them?

[main zenith]

How can i get more tents and stands to set up herd management as a fairly new player

[tribal ledge]

Visit Emerald Coast and kill a bunch of Crocs and Banteng - then take your newly acquired hunter cash and purchase tents and stands from the shop

I believe it is 16 of each, per map

[main zenith]

Ive been doing that and got my first diamond but im so bad at taking them down with 1 shot and shooting more than one 😂

[tribal ledge]

😂 understandable

Least the crocs you can headshot

[main zenith]

I thought i was meant to avoid headshots 😂 ill start headshotting them

Would you have any routes or anything like times it would be best to hunt at?

[nimble smelt]

no specific time, just walk up and down the coast and mangroves

[sly gull]

For most species yeah, for crocs you can headshot them without a problem

[nimble smelt]

new pfp whatttt

[main zenith]

Okay ill start doing that, and just walk up and down the coast? So i dont need to set a specific time?

[nimble smelt]

mhm

[sly gull]

I'll probably change it back if my nitro expires

[bronze wave]

Any tips for boar in Medved? Trying to complete this mission in the story line. Need to harvest two, I have harvested two but they were outside the designated region I need to harvest them

[stoic rain]

How can I be more efficent with my tent placement for great one grinds?

[urban glade]

Yo guys do you have any idea how to set up my moose grind on taiga properly???

[nimble smelt]

put ur tents 200m away from the zone

[young kernel]

whats the best animal to hunt on silver ridge peaks?

[frigid temple]

Will a 7mm kill a red deer if you hit it bad?

[brazen socket]

Try Rocky Mountain Elk - they're magnificent

[young kernel]

ok ty

[brazen socket]

Yes, it can, but it depends on what you hit - gut shot yes, leg shot maybe not

[frigid temple]

I hit spine and it was a huge diamond

[brazen socket]

Did it die? Have you found it?

[frigid temple]

Yeah

[brazen socket]

Oof. Yeah that happens to us all sometimes - just go back for more and make good shots

[frigid temple]

Yeah I definitely rushed it and didn't even do the 22 trick

[brazen socket]

I spined a diamond elk when I first started by taking 416yd shot because I didn't know animals stayed on your map

[brazen socket]

Otherwise, the 7mm is awesome for Red Deer 🎯

[frigid temple]

Yeah it was like 345 meters away so I held a bit high thinking it would drop

Next zone I found is a huge albino lol

The game feels bad for me lmao

[brazen socket]

Congrats on the albino. Since you've got dime red deer spawning, there will be more

[frigid temple]

Yeah I've had like 4 max level deer within 100 kills (with semi hm) so it's getting pretty fun

Also ty

[frigid temple]

Bro I just found another diamond that's bigger lmao

[frigid temple]

Just making sure piebald red deer are still rare right?

[fading iron]

yes

[frigid temple]

Alright thanks

[frigid temple]

Can level 8 red deer make diamond or no?

[nimble smelt]

No

[frigid temple]

Ty

Reddit lies lol

[real steppe]

I’m doing the missions on cuatro and want the wolf in the monestary to be diamond can I keep resetting my game and will he eventually be diamond

[olive meteor]

Yes

As long as you don’t collect him

[real steppe]

Ok

Do I have to exit the whole game or just back to the main screen

[olive meteor]

Main menu should work, but I haven’t done it in a long time

[real steppe]

Ok

[lusty otter]

Can you put a tree stand in Vurhonga Savanna? I have searched for about 2 hours and haven't found anything

[frigid temple]

Is brown hybrid mallards rare?

[willow wing]

No it’s common

[onyx surge]

If you right-click an animal on the harvest screen, you can see where the vital organs are and where your bullet went. That's how I learned where the vital organs are.

[frosty moth]

there's probably almost no compatable trees

treestands are so useless because of how little amount of trees/maps they work on

just use the tripods from the same pack

plus treestands always leave a big blind spot with the trunk of the tree because the stand isn't wide enough

[sly gull]

Anyone who grinded Iberian Wolfs before, any tips for good herd management?

[marsh gale]

anyone know the best map, and specie for xp and money all around?

[pliant comet]

Emerald Coast , Saltwater Crocs is best for money

[sly gull]

And EC at its own is one of the best maps

[sly gull]

What should I do with solos?

[meager hornet]

does the ambusher pack work for snow leopards?

[sly gull]

Well yeah, ig

But you can just use basic caller

[meager hornet]

which is the best bow?

the 48k one or one from the dlcs?

[frosty moth]

depends on what characteristics you want

-has sights
-weight
-draw weight

the 70 pound compound has the tied highest draw weight and takes sights but its 4kg, the 50 pound recurve is only 2kg and has sights, the 70 pound recurves dont take sights and are 70 pounds and 2.5k, the 60 pounder is 3kg and takes sights

[meager hornet]

overall for hunting id say

[frosty moth]

wowzers

that narrows it down

[frosty moth]

just pick the one that meets your criteria

bows with higher draw weights will travel faster/hit heavier (eventhough essentially all bows will double lung) and are less effected by wind

but are usually heavier or dont have sights

i dont really notice a substantial or noticable differance between draw speeds/ready speeds when comparing draw weights eventhough their should be

[frosty moth]

that sight is from the high tech pack

[meager hornet]

is the red dot the middle of the sight and the green dot where the arrow lands?

[frosty moth]

yes

[meager hornet]

Thats quite good

[frosty moth]

yeah it essentially turns bow hunting into ez mode

[meager hornet]

but is the 5 mark sight better for long range shots?

[frosty moth]

not at all

the hi tech sight just does the work for you

[meager hornet]

yeah but the 5 mark makes the last mark pin go to 100 m right?

[frosty moth]

yeah but the hi tech sight tells you exactly where to shoot for the distance without needing to know your pins or zeroing

also the pin sight depends on what your zero is and draw weight and arrow weight

[meager hornet]

thats true

[viral quail]

can someone help me, my dime banteng isnt showing info in investigate mode in the lodge no matter where i put it, anyone know the fix?

[meager hornet]

so far its a bug i noticed on multi trophies

it appears and goes away on its own

[viral quail]

𝖲𝗈 𝗇𝗈 𝖿𝗂𝗑 𝗒𝖾𝗍?

[strong wind]

for what are pistols for

[meager hornet]

shooting

[sly gull]

Do I need to be picking up kills while grinding non G1 species?

[meager hornet]

Are 49 drinking zones enough for the great one grind?

[severe hare]

cb-65

best mix of precision and strength, + all sights useable.

and with tracer arrows you will make it bling bling after you took out some herds around you 😛

[frosty moth]

only issue is its heavy af being tied at 4kg with the 70 pounder compound

[severe hare]

yeah, thats a trade off.

still the best "modern" bow

[frosty moth]

I usually carry the 50 pounder in my pack since it's only 2 if I'm carrying a tent/guns as well

[severe hare]

and weight is not an issue as bowhunter.. as backup you can carry .454 or 45-70 pistol with 45/410 pistol ..(class 1-9) ..

or the drilling..

[meager hornet]

Thank you!

[severe hare]

50 pounds is not enough for my taste. but yeah, different people, different opinions.

i should be close to 100k bow kills, if i count thc + cotw.

in cotw the cb-65 is my to go bow, sights doesnt matter.

[meager hornet]

did thc have random sizes? i saw some monstruous atypicals

[severe hare]

non typicals? sure ..

oh, and cb-65 i s a 65 pounder ^^

[glad hound]

Where did you get that map? Just google? Has anyone have an interactive map?

[meager hornet]

i took a clean one from google or reddit i dont remember and then drew with red my drinking zones

[frigid temple]

Is this all the zones for red deer or should I check if there is any that I missed?

[old ridge]

My brother started a new game on my Xbox any way to recover my old account?

[glad hound]

Question: why do you need to find all drinking zones if you gonna grind? Is 8 good and 8 alternative zones not enough?

[last hemlock]

I have 3 more on the river going south from your 2.

Also top right were the outpost is close to Lake. There's 1 more there but they get spook when fast travel.

[last hemlock]

Reason u want all your zones. A g1vcan spawn in one and u would never know.

[frigid temple]

Like right here?

[last hemlock]

Yes, I seen another place to. The 2 lakes to the east. The bottom one has a really good zone on the nw corner. Just south below that outpost.

[frigid temple]

Here?

[last hemlock]

No, west from their were u already have 4 discover

[frigid temple]

Here?

[heavy wigeon]

Hey guys, does the quality of the animal factor into the score? I'm hunting roe deer and fallow deers, looking at bucks, typically hitting the lungs. I'm mostly getting silvers.

[last hemlock]

I'm sorry for this. If you go to the 2 river zones. Go east and there's 2 lakes. The bottom one.

[frigid temple]

Sorry I'm really bad at directions lol so this one?

[last hemlock]

When u spot them. Look at the top right and u will see a trophy ratings. You are looking for the highest possible.

[last hemlock]

Go back to the 2 river zones we were talking about earlier. Go to the right and there 2 lakes were you already have zones. The bottom lake has a zone in the top left u have not discovered.

[frigid temple]

This one?

[last hemlock]

LOL
U are messing with me right??

Go up

[frigid temple]

This one?

[last hemlock]

Yes

Also the 2 lakes above that. I have another one at the top lake on the left top of it. U probably scare them when fast travel

[frigid temple]

Ohhhh okay thanks for your help (sorry again that I'm terrible at directions lol)

[last hemlock]

No worries. I still see one more spot, but it's hit and miss.

[formal holly]

is the hunters choice pack worth it?

[indigo nebula]

Probably like the .300 one

[glad hound]

But there could be more than one go on a map right? So even if I miss it, it's not that bad. Because it will save a lot of time just setting up 16 herds to manage.

If there could be only one go on the map at the time it will be a problem tho

[heavy wigeon]

is it the number?

the 5 - M<edium ?

[glad hound]

No, you need the skill spotting knowledge. This will give you extra information when spotting. It will show you the trophy score (it has a trophy icon) at the empty spot on the bottom right underneath the 5 - medoum

[heavy wigeon]

ah got it, I dont have a lot of skills or perks yet

[last hemlock]

U need the skills. On the second row at the top one. There's one that gives estimates trophy to rate.

[heavy wigeon]

ALSO whats the fastest way for me to level up my bloodho-und

[indigo nebula]

Kill animals and track

[heavy wigeon]

dang

also what skills are best to take early?

[indigo nebula]

I got em but idk if they the best

[heavy wigeon]

i meant on the hunter

[indigo nebula]

Oh

[severe hare]

Depends on your fav hunting style. Rifles only, or bow only, or a mix. Also depends on if you like to grind, or to hunt. Or if you play with or without hud and infos etc..
Simple said you have to spend the points on the perks and/or skills which fit to your hunting style. Check/read every perk/skill, and remember that you cant choose all. Often there are perks in another weapon tree, which are good to have even if you dont plan to use this kind of weapon.

[heavy wigeon]

honestly need to know what psychopath is doing handgun only run

[sly gull]

I was doing it for some time

But it becomes boring

Now I am hunting mostly just with Shotguns

Or .22H

[fiery trench]

Anyone know how to swap out a solo female fox zone for a pair of boy and girls

[pine spruce]

Is it a dumb idea to want to hunt a GO with a bow. Like that would be so cool. But what happens if my shot is bad, can i not pick it up and it will be alive when i restart?

[marsh kernel]

If you kill an animal then exit the game, the animal body disappears

You won’t get it back

Kill a great one with what weapon youre confident with

[hardy sentinel]

If you do it before it dies then yes, but personally I would just accept the fact that I missed and go on, I always take risky shots on g1s, on my last g1 Bear I Texas heart shot a Bear with the Moradi and actually got the heart, if I missed vitals then that'd be on me, I'd accept the gold medal cus it'd be my fault

[marsh kernel]

Yeah only use risky weapons if you’re willing to accept the fact you have a higher chance of messing up

[kind snow]

Does anyone know the best loadout for Salzwiesen Park

[nimble smelt]

.22lr, 12ga cacciatore, .243.

and e-caller if you got it

[kind snow]

which dlc weapons are the best

[nimble smelt]

.22lr virant, like i just said

[kind snow]

oh thanks

[drifting niche]

If I'm not connected to the internet will everything I shoot and taxi save ?

I'm on playstation

[nimble smelt]

yes

[willow wing]

Yes

You’re good

[nimble smelt]
