What he was thinking:

[proper mesa]

What an idiot

[golden quartz]

is the modern rifle dlc worth it?

[nimble smelt]

No

[stiff pelican]

No

[eternal hornet]

if i have a lot of lvel 2 mule males spawn in instead of 3s or 4s do i kill them too for my g1 grind?

[nimble smelt]

In main zones or exteriors

[eternal hornet]

main

[nimble smelt]

Shoot every male, the level doesn't matter

[eternal hornet]

oh okay

[sharp marlin]

what should i name my bloodhound?

[near inlet]

If you have a dog, name him/her the same. If you're looking for originality, mine is called 'Tucson'.
The expression « Le gars c'est un tucson » (literally: The guy is a Tucson) or more often « C'est tout un tocson » (He's quite a tocson) is a Quebec French expression.
It has several figurative meanings, but it's generally used to describe a person's physique or behavior:
A strong, tall, and robust person (a "well-built man").
A big, strong, and chubby baby.
A stubborn, rough, or obstinate person. (In this case, one can also say he is "tocson").
In a less common and more familiar sense (and one that also exists in Switzerland), it can also mean idiot or fool.
The word comes from « tocson » (spelled with an 'o'), which originally referred to an animal (bull, cow) without horns here in Quebec.

[sharp marlin]

ummmmmmmmmm idk hat you said

[stiff pelican]

I called mine skedaddle. Lol

[near inlet]

😂

[stiff pelican]

Bro, it’s some words. Start by reading left to right lol

Anybody got tips for huntin beavers?

[verbal verge]

Howdy guys, wondering if its possible to port game progress over?

platform to platform?

[stiff pelican]

Unfortunately not :/ so wish there was

I’d have swapped to pc long ago lol

Unless you’re referring to the same family, like porting pc to pc
PS to PS
Xbox to xbox

[verbal verge]

nope regrettably

so just stick with my good old ps4?

[stiff pelican]

Unfortunately. If you’re upgrading to ps5 you can just use the ps+ cloud save but that’s about it. No ports for xbox or pc I’m afraid. So yeah, stick with ps4 unless you just want to have two separate accounts.

[verbal verge]

can you play pc with controller?

I dont have too much progress regardless and my ps4 is slowly dying

[stiff pelican]

Yeah! You can

[verbal verge]

just bought a new pc recently so it might be a better investment to shoot the horse now instead of later

[stiff pelican]

I’m not sure if you need a secondary program for using DualShock with it but I think it should work fine without one

[stiff pelican]

Felt this lol

[verbal verge]

on a side note, do you by chance play on pc with controller? or know someone who does? As im slowly moving away from my ps4 ive heard dualshocks can be a pain with some apps, so maybe something else would be better

[stiff pelican]

Heard this. Just an fyi these things biggest C.O.D. is overheating/being dirty, you might get some extra time out of it if you dust it out every so often :)

[stiff pelican]

I don’t currently, but I have in the past. It can be a pain but I don’t remember it being anything an emulator couldn’t solve

I can dm you with the program I used

[verbal verge]

I intend to, regrettably another game I play doesnt have portable progress either, and although I can use my sony account on pc it requres me to log into my console itself to buy things (which I do) so i need to drag this ol' girl along for a while

[stiff pelican]

It’s the most popular afaik, you can use your DualShock normally after you hook it up with the program
It basically just makes the game recognize it as an xbox controller which gives you no issues

[verbal verge]

That'd be great, thanks!

[stiff pelican]

Yeaaaah that’s where I’m at too. Although I think a console upgrade will be in order one of these days rather than the pc. It’s getting old as well lol had it since launch

[verbal verge]

where would you reccomend I get the game from? or is it steam only?

[stiff pelican]

For sure let me go find that real quick lol

[stiff pelican]

I would suggest steam for sure, the sales there are better than epic games
Plus epic can be weird for some

[near inlet]

Me too, on Steam, you mist the Autumn Special, finished yesterday 6th.

[stiff pelican]

Unfortunately :/ they do go on sale quite often tho! There will be more

Gog would be a good place to buy as well

[zenith idol]

What levels should I keep at my main lakes when setting up a great one grind? Should I keep level 7s and above alive for now until I get the exterior all low levels?

[stiff pelican]

I’d actually recommend that over steam but either one is solid. Gog being #1

[near inlet]

Yes most of my DLCs where on sale 39 Some free.

[stiff pelican]

They can integrate with steam afaik

[stiff pelican]

When setting up, before you go shoot down exteriors most folks like to leave max levels
Like lvl 9s or ones with possible/guarunteed diamond scores

You could leave 7+ if you’d like. It just makes it easier to shoot down exteriors when you stack the bigger ones

[eternal hornet]

If I set my map to multiplayer but keep it private will I find great ones?

[trim echo]

Uh, not unless you got one to spawn

[eternal hornet]

Well yeah. But will they spawn if I continue my grind 😂

[trim echo]

Yes, your map is always your same map, but why would you set it to multiplayer?

[eternal hornet]

Because the lil missions annoy me 😭

[trim echo]

You can turn the mission system off ya know

[eternal hornet]

Also sometimes I have friends with me

Oh I didnt know that

[trim echo]

Yeah just go into the settings and it's at the top somewhere

[trim echo]

That makes sense

[stiff pelican]

DM’d ya

[eternal hornet]

Ah okay. Just wanted to make sure it was always gonna spawn because sometimes I invite friends into my private map where I grind

[trim echo]

Yeah like I said your map will always have the same spawns and populations

[eternal hornet]

Okay i figured thank you 😭 someone said that they dont spawn in multiplayer unless its modded

[trim echo]

Well glad you didn't take that advice lol

Cotw misinformation is spreading 😅

[eternal hornet]

LOL yeah. I was also always told to kill only level 3s and 4s for mule males which lead to me having only level 2s in my herd 😭

[trim echo]

Herd management is a thing, but I don't grind so I don't really know how it works

[eternal hornet]

Yeah apparently you just kill all males so I'm doing that 😂

[stiff pelican]

They just mean in the case of multiplayer servers that you typically go to/people have open to public. Usually those will be modded in by the host, so they’re not legit ones they did a grind for. You can definitely spawn them in multiplayer tho

[trim echo]

Whatever works lol

[stiff pelican]

Do you have any 5s in your main zones?

[eternal hornet]

Only seen 4s but they die

[stiff pelican]

Did you manage down all your exteriors? Or are you doing herd management at all?

[trim echo]

See I have no idea what this feller is saying

[eternal hornet]

I'm still new so I'm learning how to do that.

All I have done is kill the solo mule deer zones. And kill the males in the main ones

[stiff pelican]

Okay. Lol if you want tips
Good place to start is you wanna shoot down your exteriors. For mulies you want their trophy rating to be around maximum 140. If you’re having trouble getting them to go down, you can stack some big 4s and 5s in your main zones, then go shoot the exteriors down

Lemme know if you need clarification lol

I know that’s a lot to try and understand at once for some folks lol

[trim echo]

One of em being me

[eternal hornet]

What does exteriors mean?

[stiff pelican]

Lol understandable
It sounded like a bunch of nonsense to me at first until I started actually trying to do it despite not really knowing a dang thing

[stiff pelican]

Every zone that isn’t a main zone

It gets easier once you go along and do it lol

[trim echo]

I just ain't interested in grinding so I never learned

[stiff pelican]

Totally valid. It ain’t everyone’s thing

[eternal hornet]

Aahhhh okay. So kill all the zones that aren't in the ones. I wanted to do that but I got afraid that it's the main group not at their drinking zones or travelling to them if that makes sense

[trim echo]

I respect all who do though, it's a ton of commitment

[stiff pelican]

Oh yeah no. You’ll have a bunch of deer
If they’re sitting at their own water sources drinking, not traveling, that’s where they’re supposed to be

[stiff pelican]

It can take a bit to set up ahahahha

[eternal hornet]

To be fair I've travelled the entire Alberta map and after killing the solo zones off I haven't come across any mulies that aren't in the main groups

Another question. Lets say there's 3 zones in one lake. One has 2 females and another has 2fems and 1 male.. Then another has a huge group of like 8 do I kill those small zones or leave them?

[zenith idol]

Thanks, this is confusing the crap out of me 😭

[zenith idol]

So any 9s and diamond potential 8s I see on my main zones I keep until I have a couple and then switch over to the exterior zones and clear them until they’re all low level? Am I getting this right.

[nimble smelt]

No 8s

Only 9s

But yes that's correct

[zenith idol]

Ok and how many 9s should I stack before moving to exterior

[stiff pelican]

As many as you possibly can

[nimble smelt]

^^

[stiff pelican]

Like ideally at least one in every main zone

[nimble smelt]

I'd go for at least one for every main zone you have

[stiff pelican]

Lmfaoooo yes

And like some nice 8s too if you can manage it

For the other male deer in your mains that aren’t dime potential themselves

Or whatever you’re doing. I assume deer or bears lol

[eternal hornet]

👀

[hardy root]

Anybody know a creator code for COTW

epic games

[zenith idol]

Do you need to collect the animal to get a respawn or just kill it

[stiff pelican]

You have to collect it. If you don’t collect it, but exit the game/map, the game will force respawn it for you anyway you just won’t get the cash/xp from claiming it
Also great ones don’t respawn off males you don’t pick up

[golden quartz]

if i could get one dlc under $5, which dlc should i get and why

[zinc hinge]

Whats the best bird hunting shotgun overall

[spring lion]

Guys, I need to summarize the information on herd management for moose.
I select 16 zones, in 10 of which I try to spawn large moose by shooting small ones. In the remaining 6, I try to leave only moose of levels 1, 2, and 3 (if the level 3 antlers are similar to level 2 antlers). When only small moose remain in these 6 zones, I leave that zone and move on to a new one
Is it basically all?

[snow night]

Hi can someone tell me what guns I should be using

?

[wise juniper]

Arzyna 300 zarza 308 ranger 243 virant .22

And Anderson.22 cuz its peak

[primal reef]

To my knowledge thats correct.

[snow night]

Ok thanks

I got all those guns

[spring lion]

Which herd is best for grinding? 1 male 2 females, or 2 males 2 females? If 2 males, is it ideal to shoot both males in each rotation?

[snow night]

You might blow the zone if you shoot 2 males

[primal reef]

I shot 1 male.. And in set up on any zone of 3 it seems to be fine for me

[spring lion]

Gonna use tripods

[snow night]

K good

[spring lion]

And zone deletes after 3 kills

[primal reef]

You only blow the zone out if u shoot 4 or more and if your in a hunting structure its the 16th kill that deletes the zone.

[spring lion]

4 right sorry

So 1 male 2 females, thank you very much

I also believe those herds have better consistency

What if I find a lone male moose, but he's too big to leave for herd management, after I shoot him, do I have to run around the map again to see who spawned after him?

[primal reef]

Mhm

[spring lion]

That means yes?

[primal reef]

Yep

[spring lion]

What a hell
Well, I still have plenty of time before they add new furs for moose

[north herald]

Do I leave mythical crocs or no

[golden quartz]

should i get the high caliber weapon dlc, the modern rifle dlc, or neither/something else

[north herald]

High caliber and scope pack

[golden quartz]

alright. as a beginner, is it worth it to get any other pack or is that one the best for now?

[pearl nest]

I think you dont need any Packs the 7mm is one of the best weapons and you have it in the base game

I would rather take a dog then a weapon Pack

[pearl nest]

Scope Pack is one of the Most useless Pack out there

[golden quartz]

coincidence is i already bought it a couple minutes before you said that 😭

its okay i can refund it

[golden quartz]

actually? i’ll have to watch a video about it

[golden quartz]

thats right i do be getting bad shots sometimes a bloodhound would help

[near inlet]

Hello!
The Scope & Crosshairs includes 3 scopes.
One for rifles, one for night vision rifles, and one for shotguns and handguns.

Angler 4-8x100 Night Vision Rifle Scope
The scope's image color is blue/white and not green; the image is very clear. The scope's rim is thick, which reduces peripheral vision.

Odin 4-12x33 mm
Versatile for both short and long range, its rim is very thin, which clears peripheral vision. This is the scope I use for all my rifles.

Hermes 3-7x33 Shotgun & Handgun
Usable on shotguns and handguns. Its rim is thin.

Customizable Reticles
Customize your gear even further with five new reticles: center cross duplex, Mil Dot 02, see-through reticle, target dot, and chevron. You can adapt each reticle to any scope in the game for more comfortable gameplay.

[near inlet]

What DLC do you already have?

[snow night]

Hi

[wise juniper]

Hi mahito

[snow night]

I’ve got a question

What animal should I grind?

[wintry ore]

You should wait until the population reset of bighorn on the 21st and then grind them

[snow night]

Ok

[vast creek]

High calibur pack or modern rifle pack?

[snow totem]

What's the spook radius on tripod and tent spawn

[near inlet]

Some say 200m some 250m be safe 250m

[robust hound]

Do u kill the 1s and 2s on exterior lakes on fallow deer grind?

[midnight mulch]

If you´re new to the game and need some weapons for basic hunting i would take the modern rifle pack
The high caliber pack is more fun but the strandberg and the jenberg are not that strong like the zarza 308

[north herald]

yeah it definitely isnt

😭

[sage flicker]

anyone know a way to change wind direction in shooting range? Trying to find how much the arrows drift with lateral wind at around 70m

[golden quartz]

i just got the high caliber weapon pack

[golden quartz]

ehhh doesnt seem worth it for some scopes. i mean theyre good scopes ive seen gameplay with them but for $5 cmon it shouldve just been an update rather than a dlc

[robust hound]

Why are my fallow deer not respawning on my grind?

[snow night]

Don’t know sorry

[near inlet]

I would say first to take the tents and blinds, at least the Bloodhound to start, the ATV (or Quad Bike), the tree stands and tripods, and the high-tech gear. These are the accessories that will help you throughout the game.
For the weapons, that's a personal choice. Whether you hunt with a bow, big game, or birds, you'll have to read the information, witch caliber is in one and the other, and try out each weapon to get a feel for them.

[golden quartz]

yeah im currently refunding the high caliber one i didnt realize the ammo was that expensive and i dont think i could afford it until i get a better source of money

im probably going to get the bloodhound

because i always have a problem of getting bad shots

[snow night]

Hi

What map should I hunt for whitetail on?

[near inlet]

That's normal! We all missed a lot of our shots at the start. It's not necessarily the weapons that are the problem; you also have to learn all the game mechanics. It takes time and practice, so don't get discouraged! It took me over a year. 😂

[golden quartz]

damn a year? 😭 this a good game, just time consuming to get into

a bloodhound wound 100% help now that i realize it

[near inlet]

😂

[eternal hornet]

if i multiple drinking zones around one lake for mule deer can i shoot all except the main one

[golden quartz]

any tips on hunting blacktail? i barely can find any and when i do find they they always flee even while im crouching 😭

[dry path]

look for drink zones

[near inlet]

If you're just starting out and hunting Blacktail Deer, you're probably in Layton Lake District, right?
That's exactly what I meant! You'll need to learn the game's mechanics: wind direction, crouching in the bushes, being quiet, and distance for all of that.
For camouflage, you can use a scent eliminator. There are also skills (or perks) you can activate that will help you out.

[golden quartz]

do you have a map of drink zones for blacktail i could use?

[near inlet]

Me no. I don't grind.

[golden quartz]

yup im in layton lake, and yeah im trying to do all that and they still find me somehow. i’ll watch a guide for those things rn then since i keep messing up

[near inlet]

It's certain that the ground blinds, treestands, and tripods would help you a lot.

[stray furnace]

Do people use soft-point mostly, or not?

What rifle do you guys use for smaller animals?

[near inlet]

I never use soft points, for classes 1 and 2 i use the Cacciatore 12g - .22LR - and the bow with 300gr arrows, sometimes i use the air rifle or the .22H.

[summer pendant]

anyone know roughly what the new dlc will cost?

[near inlet]

I imagine the same price as the others (6$ - 7$).

[stray furnace]

22LR doesn't count for perfect kill score tho at class two? Or has is it different with diff guns? (That doesn't make sense to be, since 22lr is 22lr)

Or does it? Might be me remembering wrong.

[near inlet]

Yes, the .22LR is for Class 1. The .22H is for Classes 1 and 2 but is much louder. The new Anantha Action .22MAG is also Class 1 and 2, and the Vasquez Cyclone .45 (Air Rifle) is for Classes 1 and 2.

[mental grail]

any untuck commands?

im stuck on the ground.... on medved ice

[stray furnace]

Thank ya, helps much 👍

[primal reef]

Under the ground, and it won't let u respawn to the closest outpost? If so you can either alf 4/close the game or open the map and hope you can use your memory and find an outpost location and click and click teleport on it

[mental grail]

i meant it like /unstuck or something cause i teleported to an outpost just now but i now have to restart the hunt

it needed to be local, closest outpost id far

[primal reef]

Sadly no.

[junior helm]

what maps best for whitetail hunting? i wanna do a GO grind for em

[primal reef]

Rev.

[junior helm]

thanks

[near inlet]

Let's say you want to hunt a Class 2 animal, you could also use the .22-250 (Classes 2-4). You would meet the harvesting rules, but the weapon is overpowered for this game (Classes 2-4).

[vast creek]

How do I set up a grind and could someone help me?

[dry path]

scarecrow got some amazing vids in my opinion on about every species

[vast creek]

Alright

[dry path]

and if youre new dont grind

[vast creek]

Why not?

[dry path]

should play the game normally before trying to grind anything

[vast creek]

I’ve got about 20 hours in

[dry path]

and an effective grind is about 600k in price

[dry path]

yea no i wouldnt grind

[vast creek]

😧

How do you get that much

[dry path]

playing the game

[vast creek]

Wait what is a grind

I wanna make sure I’m thinking right

[dry path]

shooting at as many zones as possible until there are only a few left where all your big animals are

[vast creek]

Ohh

[vast creek]

Shouldn’t I set up tents and stuff at all the need zones for a certain species though?

I just wanna be able to get a lot of fallow deer

[dry path]

your best bet to get alot of them

[vast creek]

Alright

So just put tents at all the need zones and go to right before it starts or during?

[dry path]

about 1h before it ends

and put the tent at a distance of about 250m

[vast creek]

Alright

Should I save up for the better binoculars?

[dry path]

i assume you dont have any rangefinder so yes defenetly

[sonic hound]

Has anyone else had the bug where the racks on animals in the trophy lodge are just... missing?

[vast creek]

Alright

[vast creek]

So like this?

[dry path]

kinda yes but go onto revontuli if you have it

and more alkes wont hurt

[slow reef]

I could use some help

[dry path]

with?

[slow reef]

On my Xbox one I'm no longer able to see Health or the diamond

[dry path]

i have no clue about xboxes maybe google your problem most of the time someone already had the issue

[slow reef]

Ok

[near inlet]

⁉️ Are you sure it isn't a female? 😂 You never know. 🤷‍♂️ I f you have a screenshot i want to see that.

[zinc hinge]

How do i set up a g1 grind

[sonic hound]

its rather frustrating because it's only doing it to certain animals, one of my other moose is perfectly fine

[near inlet]

😲 Wow... We can see the little horns growing !!!!

Did you delete them? 👹 😂 You know, with artificial intelligence these days. 🤷‍♂️

[north herald]

what

[near inlet]

The horns

Ho no it's little horns it's part of the wall behind

[sonic hound]

It'd be more funny if it wasn't messing with trophies I've had since 2019

[raven mauve]

if i reset my game do i keep all my thropies and lodges?

[sonic hound]

Oh phew, just a verification of the game files fixed it I was gonna riot if I was stuck with broken trophies

[near inlet]

Me i restarted the game from the beginning and my lodges are ok, everything is there.

[near inlet]

😅

[spark basalt]

Yes, If you 'New Game' , you keep your saved/taxidermised trophies and your lodges, but everything else resets

[raven mauve]

ok, thanks

[near inlet]

That's why i make a tone of external saves, it's not a game you can redo in a mount 😂

[analog crane]

Does anyone know how I can join a modded game?

[dry path]

why would you want that?

[analog crane]

Money

[dry path]

💀

[analog crane]

I don't care about trophys I'm just broke AF

[dry path]

join some random emerald coast lobby and just go to the beach at the top right of the map its easy cash from crocs

[analog crane]

Yh but that's really slow

[dry path]

not really

[analog crane]

Still

[dry path]

just play the game

[analog crane]

Nah

[dry path]

you wont be getting any advice on modding in this server

[elfin wind]

Hi Im new to game and i feel like i just run around in circles with the tracks any not often really finding any animals any ideas how to spot more?

[analog crane]

Drink zones

Google the times and best locations for the animals u wanna shoot

They u should find them

[near inlet]

You must be at the beginning of the game, because later on you're going to end up with over $1,000,000,000.

[analog crane]

Nah I just wanted to rage bate somebody

[remote jungle]

anyone have any suggestions or tips for duck hunting i have my tent ducks and caller and i get nothing

[elfin wind]

wouldnt that mean a lot of fast travel and pass time?

[near inlet]

Search around the lakes and rivers.

[elfin wind]

I will thank you

[near inlet]

When it's night, past 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM, you won't see the tracks anymore. You'll need to turn on your headlamp; on PC, press "L". You'll also see them with night binoculars and night vision scopes.

[vast creek]

Alkes?

Ohh lakes my b

[zinc hinge]

Best shotgun for bird hunting?

[dry path]

probably the cacciatore 12g

[zinc hinge]

Cost?

[dry path]

48k i think and some amount of shotgun score if im not mistaken

[zinc hinge]

ID ONT WANAN GRIND AGIANANNDNJDNAJNDJNAJDNAJNDJANDA

Fineeeeeeeeeeeee

Can i refund guns

[nimble smelt]

12ga cacciatore

[zinc hinge]

lol

[nimble smelt]

Money is easy to get

Just use the other 12ga shotgun for now and hunt ducks

[vast creek]

Yeah if less than 2 hours play time

Wait

Like in game or the dlc

[zinc hinge]

In game

[vast creek]

Ohh idk

[zinc hinge]

I need a refund this elephant gun thing lol

[dry path]

pretty sure dlcs are just non refundable

[vast creek]

Nah I refunded mine

[near inlet]

The refund policy for a game like TheHunter: Call of the Wild (purchased on the platform, including on the Steam Deck - the "Steam console") follows Valve's standard rules:

Purchase Window: You must request a refund within 14 days of purchase.

If your purchase of TheHunter: Call of the Wild meets both of these conditions, your refund request will generally be accepted.

How to request a refund:

Go to the Steam support website: help.steampowered.com.

Log in to your account.

Click on "Purchases".

Click on TheHunter: Call of the Wild.

Select the issue you're having, then click on "I would like to request a refund".

Exceptions:

Even if you've exceeded the 14-day or 2-hour limits, you can still submit a request. These requests are reviewed and processed on a case-by-case basis by Steam Support, especially in the event of major technical issues that make the game unplayable.

The refund is issued via your original payment method (credit card, PayPal, etc.) or credited to your Steam Wallet.

These rules apply the same way, whether you launched the game on a PC or the Steam Deck.

[vast creek]

How do I kill a moose?

[dry path]

high caliber rifles

and pistols

[vast creek]

Alr

[dry path]

arzyna and vallagarda work the best

and heart shots are your best friend if you want to bring them down quick

[near inlet]

That's why I kept a copy of the purchase invoice (or receipt). The problem could also come from their side, for instance, a hack, account deletion, etc. etc. Name it... You'll have to prove that you purchased those items.

[nimble smelt]

Just valgarda

[chrome phoenix]

I prefer aryzana

[sonic hound]

Yeah, I make regular backups. I don't mind having to re-do missions now and again but the trophies are my life

[near inlet]

I imagine...

[vast creek]

What’re missions?

[zinc hinge]

Is the shoulder bags good? I use one for extra space to carry my 470db

Cause its really heavy

[nimble smelt]

No

Never use them

[zinc hinge]

I use them cause i need room for my 470db

Also what’s so bad? It only increases visibility and sound by a tiny bit

[nimble smelt]

Makes you helluva lot louder and more visible

[zinc hinge]

It’s just a tiny bit

[nimble smelt]

Also just useless, you can easily get by without it

[zinc hinge]

How do i inventory manage to fit my db in then, i use aryzna mag, sunberg, varmit 22lr and docent, dinoculars and electronic caller

[nimble smelt]

You can ditch a decent amount of that

Get rid of the .470

[zinc hinge]

What’s that, docent right?

Imma go to Walmart

[nimble smelt]

No

Docent is the .223

Which you should also ditch

[leaden topaz]

I’m trying to do the “photograph two unique fur varieties” and I can’t find anything, how do I find them

I’ve been stuck on this mission for a while. And I need help

[zinc hinge]

Then what’s 470?

[nimble smelt]

King

Don't deserve that name, it's more like a jester

[zinc hinge]

I use it for like a last means resort to nailing class 9s

[nimble smelt]

Use the .454 then

.470 is a waste of space

[zinc hinge]

No, its my fidget toy

I use the zeroing thing as a fidget toy sometimes, it’s really fun to use

And sunberg only has effective range of 50m

And I haven’t unlocked the ammo for 100 penetration yet

[nimble smelt]

That stat is a complete lie

It's good all the way to 300+

[zinc hinge]

O

I already have 470 tho

[nimble smelt]

Still a waste of space..

[zinc hinge]

But i can have a fidget toy that weights 5 :>

So you have something long range for class 5-6

[zinc hinge]

What abt quist reaper

[nimble smelt]

[zinc hinge]

Does mallard and goldeneye have overlapping hotspots, if so where is it located

On Salz park

[zinc hinge]

Oh

Is there any other birds that overlap there zones?

[nimble smelt]

just go there and you'll see them flying around

[zenith idol]

Does this rack make diamond?

[nimble smelt]

No

[strong mortar]

Unfortunately not. It is one of my favorite racks on red deer apart from the 7 racks

[hallow halo]

Where is this from

[nimble smelt]

pro xcks server

[hallow halo]

Can you send me link?

[nimble smelt]

just search him on youtube

[hallow halo]

Get me the spoon and lighter

[formal niche]

What

[vast creek]

Why does it keep not letting me harvest my kills?

[formal niche]

Umm wdym

[vast creek]

Like sometimes after I shoot an animal I’ll go up to it and it doesn’t let me go into it to harvest it

[zenith idol]

Is it detrimental if you accidentally delete a zone on a great on grind?

[vast creek]

Nahhh trust

[formal niche]

Happens to me sometimes with fallow

[formal niche]

No

[vast creek]

It’s done it with me si many times

[silent olive]

What’s the quickest way to stack money I lost absolutely everything going form ps4 to ps5

[zenith idol]

Good deal I’ve done it by accident 3 times so far.

[hasty bloom]

Hey guys I’m kinda newer to the game, I was wondering if I shot at a deer but completely missed it would to go back to that need zone?

[zenith idol]

Yeah you can set the time back to the need zone time and it should be back there

[silent olive]

What is the quickest way to stack money

Any tips and tricks I lost everything on the transfer

[vast creek]

Crocs

Just join someone server go to the east coast and go crazy

On emerald coast

[silent olive]

What is the best gun to do so

@vast creek what’s the best gun to do so I lost everything

[vast creek]

No ifea

Idea

If you have nothing just use the free rifle

And unload into them a lot

Until yoi can afford better guns and ammo

[north herald]

Killing big animals in abundance

Like crocodiles

[silent olive]

Ok best way to do it ?

[north herald]

Shoot them

Preferably in the heart

Or neck

[hasty bloom]

Does anyone else have the issue of the crap lagging out and you can’t use anything after you like get off a bike or sum

[north herald]

Press H

[hasty bloom]

I’m in Xbox

*on

[north herald]

Spam your buttons until it unstows your gun

[hasty bloom]

Didn’t work lmao kicked me out the game

[north herald]

✌️ 😔

It’s a stow issue

You gotta find the right button to unstow

[hasty bloom]

😓

[north herald]

I think hold LB

[hasty bloom]

Hm okay

This game gives me the tism 🥲

[vast creek]

Yeah

[north herald]

It’s not lagging out, it’s just your character stows your weapon when he gets on the wheeler

[vast creek]

Ah

But it still glitches by not coming out

[north herald]

unstow it

[spark basalt]

if you open the camera then close it , it usually brings it back

[hasty bloom]

Nah it wouldn’t let me do anything it just kicked me from the game after

[vapid thunder]

with binoculars are the best to have and is the most used with those that you can see the distance

and how much does it cost in the store

[gusty nova]

Im new to the game but no footprints are showing up. I see "examine tracks" or something but i cannot see the tracks

[near inlet]

👋 Hi guys! ☕ ☕
If it doesn't work when you get out of the ATV, take out you're tent and pivot it. (On PC Right click to pivot)

[near inlet]

Hi!
Is it at night?

[gusty nova]

It is day and night

[near inlet]

During the day, that's weird, you don't see them at all?

[spark basalt]

probably toggled off animal clues

[near inlet]

Because at night you have to turn on your headlamp ’L’ on PC. At night you can also see them with night-vision binoculars.

[tribal ledge]

They just need to hit U to bring the clues back to a visible state.

[near inlet]

Haaa! I didn't know that one; that's never happened to me.

[thorny compass]

Yo guys. When i see footprints of animals it doesn't light up like the arrows where it went and the footsteps doesn't become light blue anymore. I tried to click U to turn it on but it didn't work. Can someone help me?

[tribal ledge]

also for giggles, hitting H will 'holster' whatever is in your hand and you cannot utilize anything until you hit H again

[near inlet]

That problem I'm aware.

[tribal ledge]

• is it day or night
  • if night, turn on headlamp with L to see tracks
• have you skipped time
  • iirc tracks only last a few hours in game, so time-skips can cause fade
• go back to last known location of a track and try to recollect it

[thorny compass]

wait wym skipped time and tracks only last a few hours

i cant see any clues only like footsteps but its hard to see them without the light

[spark basalt]

my body hasnt stopped shivering for like

ages

[tribal ledge]

so its night time in your game?

[tribal ledge]

put on a hoodie

you'll be iight

[spark basalt]

i have a hoodie on and im under a blanket

😭

[thorny compass]

yh

[tribal ledge]

so then turn on your headlamp.
You need light to see

[near inlet]

Same here 4°C (39,2°F) 🥶

[tribal ledge]

by this I mean if you are looking at a track, and you go to an outpost and change the time
aka 'sleep' or 'time skip'
to my knowledge the tracks will disappear because the animal has long since moved away

[thorny compass]

when i click U it says "turn on clues" should it say turn on clues or nothing

[thorny compass]

oh okay thanks

[spark basalt]

its 14c here rn

[tribal ledge]

it should say nothing.
if it say 'ress U to turn on clues' it means they are turned off - so hit it again

But again, if it's nighttime you need the lamp (and clues on) to see them

[eager crescent]

what is the best map for Moose grinds?

[tribal ledge]

this will depend on what map you wanna look at

Lots of people like Medved

big water, open shooting lines

[thorny compass]

okay thanks so much 2 more question what is the best map for grinding money on the free maps and why did my friend get that snowy map for free that costs

[tribal ledge]

Red deer pay pretty well on Hirsch,
Geese on Hirsch dont pay a TON per body, but they never stop coming in so you can just blast'em forever
Moose pay nice on Layton
whitetail pay alright

[thorny compass]

alright but i forgot to say that also on the morning i cant see clues with clues turned on why?

[tribal ledge]

you can also just get on multiplayer with some people/friends and go to Emerald Coast and go to the coastline, hunt the crocs and the banteng
big money there and the location/time overlap for the species

[spark basalt]

from like 7pm to 7am ingame u cant see clues without torch

[tribal ledge]

Yeah, that.

[thorny compass]

how am i supposed to kill a crocodile with the free sniper wheen the bullets bounces off mooses

[tribal ledge]

you know.. Good question. One moment

Do you have access to any of these in the base game?
300 Canning, Tsurugi .338, Rangemaster 338, 7mm Magnum, Malmer 7mm

I know I should know this - but this is not my main game so I never remember any of the information

[gusty nova]

On the map it says for example 20minutes to walk does that mean irl minutes or in game minutes

[tribal ledge]

I believe it means in game

[gusty nova]

Okay thank you very much

[silent olive]

What do I do if I went from PS4 to ps5 I had and apex account with my cotw account on it but in the transfer I lost everything I had $1000000 and everything in the game do I email apex to get them to put everything back in my account because this is some bs I worked my butt of for this account

[wise juniper]

Skibigurt phonk skibidi gurting

[wise juniper]

Oh darn it!

That's unfortunately

[silent olive]

What do I do ?

[wise juniper]

Idk

Contact PACKGOD

[silent olive]

Who is packgod

[wise juniper]

He humble people

You can tell him to humble ps5

[silent olive]

I’m confused lol

[thorny compass]

idrk

[tribal ledge]

I dont think EW can just "give it back" if it corrupted over the transfer, unfortunately

[silent olive]

They really should there crapy game is the issue

[tribal ledge]

Ah yes.. EWs fault that checks notes PS4 to PS5 file transfer corrupted.

You can always contact support- of course
But I wouldn't expect them to hand you anything

Especially when you tell them that its their crappy games fault.

Here's the link

https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=4415262260242

[near inlet]

Hi! This is the information i found about that.
The short answer is no, you cannot transfer the game licence for theHunter: Call of the Wild itself from the Epic Games platform to Steam. They are two separate digital storefronts and do not offer cross-platform game library transfers.

However, you can generally transfer your game progression (save files) if you buy the game again on Steam.

Transferring Your Save Progression
While you have to repurchase the base game and any DLCs you want on Steam, the community has found a way to manually move your hunter's progress:

Purchase the Game: Buy theHunter: Call of the Wild on Steam.

Run the Game: Launch the Steam version once and start a new game to generate the necessary save folders. Then, close the game.

Disable Steam Cloud: To prevent Steam from overwriting your transferred files, go into the game's properties in Steam and disable Steam Cloud synchronization.

Locate Save Files: Your save files are typically located in your Documents folder:

Epic Games Save Location (Source):
C:\Users<YOUR_USERNAME>\Documents\Avalanche Studios\Epic Games Store\COTW\Saves<EPIC_ID_NUMBER>\

Steam Save Location (Destination):
C:\Users<YOUR_USERNAME>\Documents\Avalanche Studios\COTW\Saves<STEAM_ID_NUMBER>\

Copy Files: Copy all the files inside the Epic Games save folder and paste them into the Steam save folder, choosing to replace the files that are already there.

After this process, relaunch the game on Steam. Your hunter, stats, cash, and trophies should be intact.

Important Note on DLCs: Any DLC (reserves, weapons, etc.) that you owned on Epic will only work on Steam if you repurchase them on the Steam platform. Your progression relating to those DLCs (e.g., animals shot on a DLC map) might still be in your save file, but you won't be able to access the content unless you own the respective DLC on Steam.

[wintry ore]

Scam <@&393042322499305473>

[silent olive]

I made and ew acc when I had my ps4 so all my stuff would transfer when I got a ps5 that would be like if I had a fortnight account on my ps4 had all this stuff but it don’t transfer to my ps5 but moral for the story it does all that data in my ew account is saved so why didn’t it transfer so you absolutely have no logic

[wintry ore]

Not a single period in there AND you are very blatantly insulting the devs

[tribal ledge]

They aren't on PC.
They are on Console (Playstation.)
So this wouldn't apply to them - since they are moving from Ps4 to Ps5

[silent olive]

Not insulting anyone yall just soft low key if this happened to yall it would make you angry to after you have played this game for 8 years

[wintry ore]

You did, you said if it didn’t work, the devs have absolutely zero logic. You also just insulted me by calling me soft

[silent olive]

You’re getting your feelings hurt you are soft bro

[tribal ledge]

I have had the game since like a month after launch, I have had total file corruption like two or three times and lost everything each time that happened.

I'm not soft, I'm just also capable of not throwing a fit over pixels.
If you aren't capable of talking rationally, not insulting people and the like - I mean, we can work with that.

[wintry ore]

I never said my feelings are hurt. You’re the one throwing a fit

[silent olive]

It’s my time not the game I’m pissed about

[tribal ledge]

I posted you a link to the Support ticket system, have you used it yet?

[silent olive]

Yea and I was very kind and what they said made no sense at all or was nothing that I was even talking about

[tribal ledge]

What'd they reply to you with, can you screenshot it here

[silent olive]

I wasn’t talking about the dlcs like they said I was talking about the actual stuff on my aw acc

[tribal ledge]

and did you clarify that to them?

[silent olive]

They said it’s PlayStation but the only thing PlayStation keeps are my dlcs and the physical game saved not the stuff in my aw account

And yes

Aw is responsible for the aw account and PlayStation is responsible for the PlayStation account nothing to do with what aw has saved in there database that is out of PlayStations control

Correct idk if you’re understanding the point I’m making here but aw is aw and PlayStation is PlayStation PlayStation is only responsible for the stuff I purchased in the PlayStation store and aw is responsible for what I purchased in the physical game if that makes sense?

[tribal ledge]

Yeah I grasp what you are saying
Playstation deals with PS stuff
EW deals with the game

[silent olive]

The physical money and guns that come with the game PlayStation in not responsible for unless it’s a dlc gun or map

Correct I’m having issues with the actual game I didn’t mean to come off wrong there just pissing me off

[fiery turret]

Has support helped you with this? I'm having a hard time following

[silent olive]

They are not they continue to keep telling me that it’s a PlayStation problem when PlayStation has nothing to do with the physical stuff in game

[fiery turret]

Also please don't insult other people for literally no reason 😅 I know you're frustrated but it's really not cool

[silent olive]

Like my money or guns my level everything

[tribal ledge]

Starts up here Vivi #🦌︴help-and-tips message

[silent olive]

I apologize I’m just really angry

[tribal ledge]

basically - if I understand it proper
Strypo was transferring game date from Ps4 t Ps5 and something went wrong -
game file corrupted I think

[silent olive]

But I thought when I made and ew the actual stuff in the game would save to my ew account like the guns and stuff I actually bought in game

And my level and stuff

Perks esc

[tribal ledge]

They reached out to support - who told them that its a Playstation issue - not an EW issue
(My guess is something about the transfer??)

[near inlet]

Here's what i Found about this.
It is possible to keep your game progression in theHunter: Call Of The Wild when switching from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5.

Since theHunter: Call Of The Wild runs on the PS5 through backward compatibility with the PS4 version (as there is no dedicated native PS5 version to date), successfully transferring your PS4 save data is the key.

Here are the three main ways to transfer your PS4 save data to your PS5:

PS4 to PS5 Data Transfer: You can transfer all your data (including game saves) from your PS4 to your PS5 either during the initial PS5 setup or later via the system settings. This involves connecting both consoles to the same network (Wi-Fi or, ideally, an Ethernet cable for speed).

PlayStation Plus Cloud Storage: If you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription, your saves are usually synchronized automatically to the cloud. Make sure the latest save of theHunter: Call Of The Wild is uploaded to the cloud from your PS4, and then you can download it from the cloud onto your PS5.

USB Drive: You can manually copy your game save from your PS4 onto a USB drive and then copy that save file from the USB drive onto your PS5.

Players have confirmed that the progression for this particular game is saved locally, so successfully performing one of these save data transfers will allow you to pick up exactly where you left off, including all your weapons, lodge progress, and level.

[fiery turret]

Have you already reached out to playstation support?

[silent olive]

Yes and they are telling me that they can’t do anything it’s on ews part so it’s all kinda funny to me because it’s like company beef 😭😂

[wise juniper]

Darn it!

[silent olive]

That’s what has me so angry lol because now I absolutely am lost and don’t know what to do it’s very unprofessional on both there parts

Pretty sad I’ve gotten more information on here than I did from either ew or PlayStation 😂😭

[fiery turret]

Eagle please be careful posting walls of text bc I'm guessing it's AI generated? AI is often inaccurate and can be misleading if you're presenting it as fact.

[fiery turret]

We're not beefing but like

Does our support know that's what ps said?

I wanna help but I'm not a support person myself

[near inlet]

Yes true, i should mention that it's AI generated. That the info could be wrong. Especially when we talk about system files and data transfer. That's right, sorry.

[silent olive]

I have no clue

[fiery turret]

If you haven't already you could open another ticket and tell them was ps support said

[silent olive]

Ok will do

Will keep yall updated

[wise juniper]

This isn't ai generated Daniel

[silent olive]

Contacted them waiting on there response hopefully this goes good

[pseudo blade]

Ok so I wanna figure out how to set up a grind because I got 3 diamonds and it takes me forever to find them

[primal reef]

Best way is to look on YouTube. This can give you a lot information in a short amount if time.

[pseudo blade]

Do you have any specific like channels or tutorials

[primal reef]

Well do you want to grind for a dime? If so I would recommend just searching like how to find diamonds or how to grind for a diamond on (map)

You are likely to get a video from LadyLegend of Scarecrow. I recommend those as they are informational and are also fully correct.

[pseudo blade]

Ok

I'm not even gonna worry about a great one because I'm not even close to one of those

[daring kettle]

Anddd that ones on skibidi!

[proper mesa]

Lady legend correct???

[wise juniper]

Yes and she's making animals go splat 🗿🗿🗿💀💀💀🔥🔥🔥

[golden quartz]

regarding the bloodhound, if i shoot an animal in a non vital organ and the blood amount is small and they run off, can the bloodhound still find that animal even though its still alive?

[vagrant kestrel]

it will try to track it down

[elfin relic]

Hey y’all if I hit new game will it delete taxidermied animals and trophy lodges?

[dry path]

no

[elfin relic]

Good to know, now I gotta taxi a butt ton of animals…

[near inlet]

See you later, I gotta go freeze my butt off. 🥶

[golden quartz]

alright im probably gonna get it then

i was choosing between which dog to get and im pretty ass at shooting so 🤷

[dry path]

is this rack available in diamond?

the marked one

[vast creek]

What’s the fastest way to level up?

[dry path]

crocodiles on emerald coast

[vast creek]

Alr word

[vagrant kestrel]

then he will definitely help

[elfin relic]

What should I do first after I restart my game?

[dry path]

leveling probably but why would you restart if you have no clue?

[elfin relic]

The game got stale for me, over 1000 hours and I just wanna play like how I began

[dry path]

bow hunting can be very refreshing

especially with the pointer dog

[elfin relic]

I’ve bow hunted too much

I’ve done pretty much everything

[elfin wind]

what does this icon mean

[stiff pelican]

You have a pc? Even a crappy one?

[dry path]

class 8

[elfin wind]

what does that mean?

[dry path]

the class indicates what ammunition needs to be used for it

you can see what classes the ammo is for when you look at the ammo in the store

[elfin wind]

I see any ideas how to spot animals easier other than sitting 1cm away from screen xD?

[dry path]

binoculars? or glasses XD

[stiff pelican]

I was just gonna suggest both of those as well lol I can’t see crap without my glasses, and the binoculars help a lot with glassing around

Kinda necessary equipment IMO

[elfin wind]

I am visailiy impaired so its hard :C

[dry path]

i found out i needed classes when my freind started seeing animals that i didnt XD

[stiff pelican]

Check out the settings- I have a bit hard of time seeing things as well
There’s a lot of visual options that might help you

You can change the highlight color that shows up on animals, tracks, etc

That helped me a lot. I’ve got neon green and pink highlights for most things lol

[elfin wind]

thanks do u mind sharing ur settings : 3 ?

[stiff pelican]

Yeah lemme load it up. Keep in mind this might change per map + based on our own eyeballs lol

[elfin wind]

I have kereconus :c

[stiff pelican]

Ooh gotcha, have heard of that. I do not have anything myself they’ve been able to diagnose lol just weird eyes, but have learned to tweak settings in every game in order to play them lol

Here

My FOV was originally between 90-100 but I just changed it recently. You can tweak that too, then off motion blur, change reticle shape, etc. there’s quite a few settings to play around with

See what fits for ya

[elfin wind]

THANK

[stiff pelican]

Np!! Also you’re definitely going to want the apexview 7x42 binoculars when you can snag em

[vast creek]

Yeah

[stiff pelican]

I don’t believe you’re the person I was talking to lol but if you are, try hunter classic

[vast creek]

I wasn’t lol

Isn’t it the sane thing

[elfin wind]

i havent found an animal in 30 min :C

[elfin relic]

PS

[stiff pelican]

Not in the least lol

[stiff pelican]

Ah gotcha, I was gonna suggest classic since it’s a different beast, ya might enjoy it. Can run on even the worst laptops ime
Tbh sounds like you need a break from the game. If there’s something you wanna do, then do it. Why force yourself to keep playing a game that’s stale to you tho, yk?

Can always come back later if you feel like it

[stiff pelican]

Try huntin the drink zones

I will say my biggest aid is probably the pointer dog. When i don’t feel like using my peepers, I’ll just set the dog to search for something and let it wander. Lol

You can use those anywhere on the map to find animals

[elfin wind]

Ah , was getting frustated :C

[stiff pelican]

Yeah you gotta learn how to find the animals haha
Creepin around slow and really trying to pay attention to surroundings can help

Sometimes I will just creep around until I hear mating/warning calls then follow the sound

Might have luck on some different maps, not all are filled with trees and stuff. Silver ridge peaks, emerald coast, and vurhonga might be good hunting for ya
Cuatro too, even

Easier to see

[urban wyvern]

which lodge has the most spots for animals? is it the safari one?

[dry path]

yes

[elfin relic]

Why isn’t multiplayer working anymore after hitting new game?

[stiff pelican]

Probs not specific to new game. If you check the chats this morning it seems a lot of folks, specifically psn, have been talking about issues connecting to mp

[golden quartz]

can you still get the empress magnum if you dont have the amount of rifle score needed for the regent magnum? i only see a score for the regent magnum but the empress is the same thing and doesnt ask for any rifle score

[stiff pelican]

Pretty sure you can, I used the empress when I was just starting out
Try to buy it and see if it lets you.

I think the regent is just a different model but same gun

Could be wrong. Been a min since I used em

[golden quartz]

alright once i got enough i’ll definitely see i only got 20k rn

[golden quartz]

yup it is its literally just the coloring thats different

[dusk tusk]

How do you get diamonds to spawn? Do you just shoot all the high level males?

[mystic grotto]

would you say the .303 is better or the .30-06, obviously small difference in penetration but alot better accuracy? not sure what to pick

[cobalt nest]

Any good ways to get diamond waterfowl on salwiesen?

[vast creek]

should i farm mule or fallow deer?

[rare cloud]

Anyone have any tips for g1 mule grind on askiy? 200 kills in no diamond 1 rare

[spark basalt]

if your just casually hunting, each map usually has atleast 1-10 initial spawn diamonds from my experience, if grinding you might want to try HM

[silk turtle]

Accuracy just changes how much the scope sways around iirc. Neither is really better, they're both just basic bolt actions unless you're using the M1 which is technically "better" because you can kill more faster, but that depends on if you're a grinder

[silk turtle]

Just remember if you find ducks and there's no diamonds in that group, you have to wipe out the entire flock for there to be respawns

[dusk tusk]

I'm grinding water buffalo on nepal

[spring lion]

I accidentally deleted a moose drink zone because I killed too many wolves in the same spot. Where will the new moose drink zone be now?

[brazen socket]

New zones are usually within a couple hundred meters on the same lake, but not always

[lean lintel]

Doesn't have to be the same lake. If another lake is close enough the zone could move to it, but the lake has to be pretty close

[cobalt nest]

Good advice, thank you!

I'm on console so it Is a bit hard to do

[silk turtle]

Just try to kill as many as you can, don't worry about which ones you're shooting. If you're hunting at a zone move around alot so you dont cause too much hunting pressure, but if you're just calling them in with decoys it's whatever I think. Just remember you have to take out the whole flock and then a new one will spawn after so it might take a couple "hunts"

[vast creek]

How often do fallow deer reawaken?

[spring lion]

Is it possible thay they moved to another lake?

I see those moose they moved a bit to the south but I'm not sure that all of them are there

Like 70% sure they all moved down a bit

[brazen socket]

Yes it is, you gotta check all around - just hunt all the lakes and you'll find them

[spring lion]

Okay thank you

Gosh I hate wolves and lynxes

Don't see any new moose on nearby lake

I've found 125 drink zones for moose grind

[nimble smelt]

.303 is better. All guns are 100% accurate anyways

[nimble smelt]

Find them.

[nimble smelt]

Search for them. Decoys and blinds

[mystic grotto]

I’m confused if that’s the case surely the more powerful .30-06 would be better then?

[nimble smelt]

It's not more powerful

[frosty girder]

Hey sorry to ask, in the base game which guns clear class 1 targets?

[nimble smelt]

12ga birdshot

[frosty girder]

Thanks

[frosty girder]

Hey so when you get a trail of green marks on your map with a pink one at the end, which seems to be where I was following a kill that I didn't find, is it because there's an actual kill at the end of the trail, oooooor?

[nimble smelt]

That's two different animals

[frosty girder]

Oh 😂

[nimble smelt]

Just follow the same color tracks

[steady current]

random fun fact. the .45 revolver when out of ammo and hold triangle, the weapon will do a cool spin trick. sometimes it works ometies not.

or hold reload button

[vast creek]

.308, .336, or 7km

Mm

[zenith idol]

Most of my exterior zones just doesn’t have spawns or some have solo spawns. Should I kill my solos on them or just worry about the ones that have heards?

[wintry ore]

.303

[north herald]

whats the point of stacking

[nimble smelt]

to spawn more low levels in your non-main zones

[zinc hinge]

Is frost better than quist reaper

[north herald]

Why would you want more low levels

[spark basalt]

you make all animals in your exteriors low levels to make the game push more big ones in your mains

[shut ermine]

Does anyone have tips for grinding fallow deer on te awaroa?

[placid island]

Not all guns

The Olson has a spin

It always lands a little bit more right and lower than you aim

[fickle quartz]

I'm new to the hunter call of the wild any tips

[trim echo]

Move slow, be patient, and aim true, also have tons of fun

[fickle quartz]

thank you

[trim echo]

No problem, happy hunting! Also backpacks increase your noise and visibility

Just fyi

[warm silo]

there are some major dlcS wich will give you a lot of advantage in hunting and way more fun as the vanilla game without DLcs

[fickle quartz]

ok good to know

[trim echo]

True but the base game weapons and equipment are more than capable and you don't have to have dlcs to be successful ingame

[warm silo]

tents, weapn packs and some other, just try the game if you like it and if yes you should think of investing in some DLCs

[warm silo]

i just mean some DLCs give you a lot more quality of life in the game

[trim echo]

They do but if someone is just starting out I avoid telling em to spend money until they've had a fair go at the game

[warm silo]

like i said, try the game and if you like it think of investing in some dlcs

[trim echo]

Exactly

[warm silo]

i played the game a while and i was so annoyed back then.
Thne i watched some YT Videos and invested in dlcs now it is so much more fun

i could not imagine how to play the game at least without tents 😄

[trim echo]

I still often use base game weapons and have just as much fun, but I see whatchu mean

Tents are pretty useful but I don't think of em as necessary

[warm silo]

no they are not, but it saved you tons of time hinking from spot to spot

[dusk pasture]

In the DLCs which free guns are the best to use for universal hunting??

[warm silo]

it is german but ther you have a overview of the weapons, witch tier they are good for and where you get them

https://www.espis.de/index.php?id_revier=17&id_page=6&id_waffen&id_waffenart=1

my Most Fav Weapon id the MAlmer 7mm Magnum it is kinda a alllrounder and even elks are no problem

combined with a gun for the lower tiers i am save on every map

[eager crescent]

does medved have more Moose drinking zones than Layton?

[near inlet]

Hi guys ☕

[near inlet]

Also, you can go into multiplayer and try out the other reserves; you can try all of them.

[warm silo]

kk i prefer playing my own tbh

but for looking reserves , seems good

[near inlet]

I'm not sure I understand correctly. There are no free weapons in the DLCs; you probably meant the free weapons in the game itself. The free weapons are mostly obtained by completing missions.

[dusk pasture]

yeah that

[snow totem]

On a fallow deer grind do you shoot the lonely Bucks that are level 1 or 2 / or do you keep them?

[vapid star]

whats best method to level up, im legit so new i got bad ammo onn it too so harder to kill them

[near inlet]

When you start out, you only have the two base maps? I'd tell you to do the missions; you'll earn money and experience, and you'll be able to buy other weapons. Also, in Hirshfelden, you can have a blast hunting Canada Geese—they always come back.

[vapid star]

I play on xbox PC and boughht Ultimate pack and buyying the maps pack tonight so iu hahve alll maps annd dlc prettyy muchh

Sorry keyyboarrd broke so tyypes so weird douuble tappinng and missinng letters whenn needed,, just can afford the same onne again atm but worrks for games so idc

[near inlet]

😂 Nothing's worse than a bad keyboard. If you're like me, you'll have to learn to be patient. There aren't always shortcuts for this or that. When we're used to playing military FPS games and killing everything that moves, it's the opposite with COTW; it's more 'meticulous'

[vapid star]

yep, well idm waitinng ofc its just more off im hittinng te right areas, LLungs and vital orrgans part but its sayyinng wronn ammo for everyy gunn annd its onlyy like Black bear or deer, at the moment so im so connfused as i cant Buyyy any other ammo for the weaponns as im low level is it supposed to be like this?

[ember zealot]

What are you currently using for the bear and deer?

[vapid star]

308 Soft-Point Bullet

[ember zealot]

can you get the poly tip?

[vapid star]

yyes also got them

using them at the moment started about a Hourr ago and still not doinng the best

still sayys wrong ammo

[near inlet]

You have to match the correct ammunition to the game animal. Let's say the animal is Class 2; choose ammo that covers Class 2 to 6. I'm not sure if you understand.

[vapid star]

Ah okayy thannk you

nnice

Also anyonne got ideas how to make it so whhenn click off onto other screenns te game does Not minimise its onn FullScreenn but only that option and windowed so idk if thherrs a settinngs json or smthing i can change?

[north herald]

go to settings and click fullscreen

just use ctrl esc to get out of it

[hardy sentinel]

Keep them alive

[vapid star]

Ah the issue isn’t getting out of it the issue is like let’s say im on discord call, I need mute I have move mouse across and click off the screen but then game minimises it self fully, each time it’s quite annoying Ofc if nothing can be done then fairs but just wondered

[ember zealot]

Windowed mode won't minimize it when you tab out.

[vapid star]

im goinng to sounnd soo pathetic and annnoing buut thhen windowed is just bad i thought games have Fulllscreen Borderless or FullScreen winndowed or oter onens

[ember zealot]

You'll have the window border, but that's the only way to alt tab to another monitor without the game minimizing every time.

[thorny compass]

Is there like any codes to get free stuff?

[near inlet]

If you're playing in windowed mode, you need to maximize the window to full size—the square next to the 'X' button to close the window.

[near inlet]

Do you mean as part of a promotion? I don't think so. I've never seen a promotional code; everything is regularly on sale on Steam.

[thorny compass]

alright

what ammo should i use for the rifle .270 warden if i cant buy the the .270 poly?

[limpid sun]

soft

[thorny compass]

alr and when i can get the tip do i use it?

[limpid sun]

put in gun, fire

[near inlet]

I think you should ask that question in help-and-tips here it's more to make suggestions about the game.

[thorny compass]

ik but i didnt find it

[thorny compass]

it says tho

help and tips?

[limpid sun]

this is help and tips

[thorny compass]

i mean when i can get 270 poly do i get it?

[near inlet]

<--- Left panel cotw-help-and-tips

[limpid sun]

yes

[thorny compass]

alr

[limpid sun]

we are in help and tips bro

[thorny compass]

yh we are eagle

[near inlet]

🤣 Oupssss need an other coffee 🤣

[thorny compass]

how do i equip my gun? i put it in my inventory but it isn't showing

[thorny compass]

?

answer me please

[limpid sun]

maybe equip it

[thorny compass]

i did

[limpid sun]

then press the button that its on

[thorny compass]

dude it isnt showing tho

i took it from the locker to my inventory

it wont show

wait

i forgot to choose the slot it should be on

mb

[limpid sun]

i told you equip it

[thorny compass]

how do i put ammo in it

and a scope

[limpid sun]

why are you telling me

[limpid sun]

go on the screen you equipped it on and click ammo and sights and drag it over into the weapon

[thorny compass]

idk how to get there tho idk how i even got there in the first place

[limpid sun]

click escape and then inventory

[thorny compass]

i saw now how to fix it

[near inlet]

There are four types of weapons: rifle, shotgun, handgun, and archery. To unlock the ammunition, you have to acquire points in that weapon type. So, if you want to unlock the .270 polymer tips, you must reach the weapon level written in red, for example: 375/1500 by hunting with that weapon type. This is for each weapon type, and of course, you still need the money to buy them.

[near inlet]

Sorry i need more than 2 coffees lolll

[thorny compass]

what happends if i shoot an animal with the wrong bullet except than earning less xp and money?

[near inlet]

There are harvest rules (Ethical Hunting) and you must meet these four requirements in order to make it a trophy: the correct ammunition, no more than two shots, hitting a vital organ, and not hitting the trophy parts. Look at this screenshot—next time you harvest an animal, hover your mouse over that area.

[silk turtle]

If you shoot a trophy it wont be a trophy anymore

Or worded differently, if you shoot a guaranteed diamond whitetail with a .375 it will be a gold. The score will be the same but you wont get the badge

[whole flower]

how do i do these damn coyote quests in layton cuz wth u mean shoot a male and female coyote w a bow in cheelah

[fossil arrow]

What map should I grind tahr on

[whole flower]

sundarpartan

save te awaroa for the easiest fallow grind known to man

[proper mesa]

Te

It’s doable on there

[fossil arrow]

why is it better then sundar?

[rare cloud]

Can someone help me understand herd management, doing a g1 mule on askiy

[proper mesa]

They aren’t nearly as much in the brush

[fossil arrow]

ah gotcha

[north herald]

it means what is says

[stark grail]

hi there, i just got back on the game after months without playing it. i had to update my steam and the game too. when i loaded into the game, some of my equipment and guns were duplicated at 999 and i dont like the way it looks. i know that it wont cause any problems, i just dont enjoy the way it looks. what could i do

[near inlet]

''some of my equipment and guns were duplicated at 999'' ⁉️ Do you have a screenshot?

[hollow trail]

Guys, I started multiplayer, but I cant hear any noise in the game, do you know where is the problem?

Did it happen to someone?

[north herald]

you gotta turn your headset on

[hollow trail]

very funny, thanks

[north herald]

welcome

[whole flower]

🤓

[north herald]

im not the one struggling with shooting a bow

[near inlet]

Two places you can check: your Windows volume to see if it's not on 'Mute', and the game's main menu—look under Settings/Sound to make sure everything is okay.
Are your sound card drivers up-to-date?
The idea of using a headset isn't bad; check that it's properly plugged in and that the cable isn't damaged if it's a wired one.
Are there certain sounds you can't hear, or do you have no volume at all?

[whole flower]

yeah u seem to struggle in a different way

[north herald]

i dont struggle

[whole flower]

so friggin tuff yo

[sacred kernel]

Does anyone have advice for hunting red fox on hirschfelden?

[limpid sun]

hey if i own a DLC map and my friend does not and i host the DLC map and he joins and we explore, does the map stay explored for him for the next play session? if not does buying the DLC for him make it stay explored?

[silk turtle]

Yes. If he discovers outposts and then hops on to play in another session or buys the DLC for himself, they will be saved

[limpid sun]

no i mean if he discovers outposts and then quits will the map stay explored for the next game session on the same map

[silk turtle]

For him, yeah. If you get an outpost you will have it saved DLC or not, even if you power off your PC/console and get back on

So if you intend to lay tents around to help your friend explore the map or something, it won’t be a waste of time

[limpid sun]

thanks for your reply but we just did it and he lost map progress

[silk turtle]

That's weird. He didn't crash or anything right?

or ignore a cloud desync warning if he was on steam

[sonic hound]

so say I've got around a gold sized moose of a rare color, can I leave him and eventually he might get to diamond quality or nah?
I want to get a diamond of every color, and only way I think I can actually do that is by stacking them

[limpid sun]

nope he said he did not do any of those

[limpid sun]

animals dont grow in rarity i dont think

[quartz plank]

any bow hunting tips?

[silk turtle]

You should probably mention it in the #1062059141436297246 thread or something then, because that's not intended. I've explored many DLC maps I didnt own and it stayed explored when I get back on

[silk turtle]

Use cover and don't try to approach if you're upwind

[quartz plank]

ok

[silk turtle]

Try and circle around until the wind is favorable before you stalk into shooting range

[quartz plank]

thanks

[near inlet]

What equipment do you have? Which reserve and which animal

[silk turtle]

Also calls are very useful so if the species you're hunting is attracted to them, it can help bring them to the treeline if they're out in the open and you can't sneak up any closer

[quartz plank]

just the base game stuff no dlcs

[quartz plank]

layton and moose

[silk turtle]

You should bring a moose caller just incase, they come in handy. I don't remember if Moose have a scent lure but that's not always the best thing to use unless you're planted or in a stand

[quartz plank]

they do have a scent lure and what is the best lake for them on layton if you know a good one

[silk turtle]

This is XCK's map.

[quartz plank]

thank you

[silk turtle]

Take note of that red dot in the bottom left directly north of that lake, it's a hidden lake. Very few people know about it, so if you want to try searching in multiplayer servers there's a chance there's an initial spawn high level moose there that nobody shot

[near inlet]

Okay, yes, you'll have to get close—less than 60m—so you need to watch out for the animal seeing you, smelling you (the wind direction), or hearing you.
There are also some skills you might be able to activate that could help you.

[quartz plank]

alrightythank you people

[quartz plank]

depending on level do i use 600gr or 420?

[near inlet]

Depends on the level of the animal, it's the same thing as for rifles. 600gr is for big games, i think classes 7,8,9.

[quartz plank]

ok

[near inlet]

300gr for Classes 1–2 420gr for Classes 2–7 600gr for Classes 7–9
The 300gr and 600gr are locked at the start of the game.

[tight quiver]

I'm trying to do the emerald coast Croc grid but none are spawning in I'm probably doing something wrong as I am new to the game any help would be appreciated

[near inlet]

Hey everyone, in Layton Lake I found another artifact. If you're in this area, the GPS coordinates are in the bottom right.

[vast creek]

To not

Best way to kill moose?

[nimble smelt]

With .375

[proper mesa]

True…

[midnight steppe]

Is dusky a rare fur type for black bear

[proper mesa]

No

[midnight steppe]

Ok what about cinnamon

[gray radish]

What about a Ohio map

[midnight steppe]

What about cinnamon

[proper mesa]

Yes

[midnight steppe]

Ok

Thanks

[chrome phoenix]

Its uncommon. Not rare

[proper mesa]

Rare

It’s pie rarity

It was uncommon before they got their remaster though

[chrome phoenix]

My mistake i thought we were talking about brown bears

Im so dumb 😭💔

[proper mesa]

It’s okay lmao 😭

[chrome phoenix]

Its like midnight for me and ive been grinding yaks for diams...its not gone well 😭

[proper mesa]

Lmfaooooo

[chrome phoenix]

Like 4 guarrenteed trolls and 2 trolls

[proper mesa]

Yakurrate

[chrome phoenix]

Couple 8s that nearly made it too

[trim echo]

Kudos to y'all that grind, I just can't

I'll pray for a diamond yak to spawn for ya

[proper mesa]

Grinding highkey goated

[trim echo]

Maybe for you but for me it sucks the fun outta the game 😅

[proper mesa]

Nuh uh

[trim echo]

I find it very not fun is all I'm sayin

[stiff pelican]

Everyone’s got different play styles, although I miss the bear grind

[eager crescent]

is medved better than layton for Moose grinds?

[proper mesa]

Me too (I’m just not home yet)

[nimble smelt]

No

[eager crescent]

ok

[stiff pelican]

You better get that great one as soon as you hop on

[proper mesa]

Spotted please

[stiff pelican]

You got it homedawg

Manifesting for u

[proper mesa]

Thanks 🥹

[trim echo]

Some say yes, but I don't know because I've never done a moose grind

[stiff pelican]

Medved is only really better because of the frozen lakes and render distance. That’s about it.

[trim echo]

Yeah and navigating Layton's river and lake system is not very efficient

[proper mesa]

Worse cuz 300 zones though

[stiff pelican]

Yuuup it’s kind of picking which battle you want lol. Less zones to manage? Layton. Best for HM, for sure. Easier to see, no floaters, or non HM? Medved

[turbid stream]

So I have a quick question if anyone can answer what is the correct way to grind a white tail g1 ?

[nimble smelt]

choose 8-10 zones to grind on and then just kill the males

[turbid stream]

Doe it matter the size or just males in general ?

[eager crescent]

why am i getting no respawns on my fallow grind? i have been waiting for like 30 minutes but none are respawning.
i have only killed a few this round since most of the ones i want to manage down are low level and many of the ones i want to shoot when im done are lvl 5

[proper mesa]

6-7 works too

[nimble smelt]

Just males

[dusky agate]

https://tenor.com/view/sixseven-six-seven-six-seve-67-gif-14143337669032958349

ok no theyre respawning now

[digital steeple]

Is the multiplayer server still not working

On ps5

[stiff pelican]

Sounds like folks been having issues but I’ve been able to connect with other players without issues, personally
Have you tried to open your own session?

[digital steeple]

I got it figured out

[golden quartz]

what gun is the malmer 7mm magnum from?

[delicate token]

its based on some browning or smth i think

oh wait do you mean the weapon pack

[tranquil canyon]

Hunter power pack

[near inlet]

In the ammunition, click on 'Compatible Items'.
Look at the screenshot at bottom.

[golden quartz]

thanks 👍

[golden quartz]

thank you

[golden quartz]

yeah im pretty sure 😭

[near inlet]

👍

[zinc hinge]

Is malmer better than regent

[proper mesa]

No

[zinc hinge]

Explain why regent is better than malmer please

It seems better

[proper mesa]

3 rounds

Nvm

They r the exact same lmfao

[trim echo]

Same exact caliber and performance, Malmer just has three rounds instead of one

[nimble smelt]

dumbass

[proper mesa]

True…

[zinc hinge]

Oh

[proper mesa]

I MIXED UP MY RIFLES

I’m a fraud

[zinc hinge]

It’s fine

Regent is single shot right

[trim echo]

Yep

Break action

[zinc hinge]

Oh ok

[trim echo]

It looks cooler than the Malmer at least

[near inlet]

There are 'Spray' DLCs that change the appearance.

[nimble smelt]

No wood stock is a bummer though

[near inlet]

Me too, the original or premium from a mission.

[trim echo]

Yeah but the plastic look of the Malmer I ain't a fan of

I also wish the gun metal cosmetics actually look like metal instead of matte spray paint

[near inlet]

Ok.

[rare cloud]

I’m 257 kills in to my mule grind only one rare any tips?

[nimble smelt]

Keep grinding

[rare cloud]

😭

Got u

[golden quartz]

any tips on hunting coyotes?

[dapper wedge]

Rancho is open for them, but NEM has the most specific home range. Overall, they suck, but on those two maps they suck the least

[golden quartz]

i only have layton lake and im doing a quest for hunting 2 coyotes in cheelah 😭

[dapper wedge]

That mission was tough for me iirc. I ended up not finding any drink zones so I ran around mid day and hammered to caller. Funny how early game map missions make you use calls. It’s nostalgic

[golden quartz]

wait wym what are calls

mb i dont understand everything yet

[dapper wedge]

The predator caller. Like the jackrabbit distress call

You use it and it screams like a dying rabbit

[golden quartz]

oh those things

i’ll use them more then

yeah

dude i just hunted one

but it was at the BORDER of cheelah right next to mount leviathan

and i didnt get the credit for it

😭

i’ll teleport back and keep searching thank you

i hate hunting those dumb things

[north herald]

if i have a possible diamond croc on the map

itll stay until killed right

[dapper wedge]

Yes. All animals are permanently on your map until they are killed

[hollow trail]

Guys, when you are not in multiplayer, can someone join to your game or do you need to start the server from the menu?

[fading iron]

you’d have to start up a multiplayer server on private or friends only to play with friends. when you select your reserves thats your own maps that people cannot join

[hollow trail]

Okay, thank you!

[rancid vine]

Quick question is herd management killing the low levels of the high levels?

[hardy sentinel]

To put it in short, hm is basically having your exteriors be just low levels, so your map produces more high levels in your main zones

So killing big animals in exteriors until they respawn as small animals, and (kind of) vice versa in your mains

[pulsar dune]

Can someone help me. I can't finish this mission. I tried to finish it with one shot, two shots, but nothing happens. Anyone knows what do i need to do?

[quartz sapphire]

how to grind red deers to get alot of diamonds and first great one?

like how to do hm

[trim echo]

Did you get a double lung shot?

You need to down one with one shot to both lungs

[pulsar dune]

Ye i did that

I finished it nvm

Maybe it was a bug

At first

[trim echo]

Oh okay, wierd lol

[fluid mirage]

Chat if i grind with hunting structure it is 15 kills until the zone gets deleted, is it 15 kills together or does it reset after a specific time or how does it work ?

[quartz sapphire]

someone can give me tips for herd managment and how to do it with red deers

[pulsar dune]

15 kills until hunting pressure hits dead zone

number just gets increased from 4 to 15

[floral granite]

I have been watching a group of female Red deer and 1 female Sambar, but why are there no males coming in at all?

[spark basalt]

because theres no males in that herd i guess

[proper current]

Does anyone have tips for hunting bobwhite quail?

[vast creek]

what should i farm on silver ridge?

[nimble smelt]

Bears because it's the only thing good to grind on that map

[vast creek]

alr

[steady current]

heard there is a new great one that got confirmed. i knew it was gonna happen but did they reveal what it was?

[trim echo]

Was confirmed, no idea what it is or when it's coming

I figure it will come with the new map this winter

[cinder grotto]

What are some DLCs' I should look to buying at start?

[trim echo]

Honestly whatever you are interested in is what you should buy

However, if you're on pc, then I would suggest at least getting the tent and atv dlcs, they make life a bit easier but they are by no means necessary

[steady current]

yes i knew that part. i hav heard some intresting ones. it is said whatever map comes out during winter the animail on the map will be a great one and vice versa

so was wondering if any new great one was revealed since it would have revealed the new map

herd of roe deer, lion, red deer, and many others by now lol

[cinder grotto]

I am looking for something to get exp faster so I can get those callers

[steady current]

heard

[trim echo]

No one knows, they haven't hinted at anything

[trim echo]

Well there isn't really a dlc that will get you xp faster, that relies on you just harvesting and doing missions as much as you can

[crisp salmon]

hello guys, better to use is caciotne 12g or executive?

[steady current]

depends on what you shooting at
