Don’t own that one either
Or go to Yukon an kill stuff in the burnt forest
My PlayStation erase all of my saved game could someone help me get some outpost on multiplayer
Damn bro I would not be happy
You have vurhonga
oooh
No I was saying that you can hunt lion and cape buffalo on vurhonga and also make pretty good money
Where can I find a bunch of Cape buffalo
I’ve been trying to get a dimonds lion or Cape buffalo
What's the best time for you their drink zones?
I don’t have any
They drink from 9-12 and there around the edge of th map
What console u on
Cape buffalo right here
Aught
if you’re on pc there’s a hotkey, you might’ve hit it. i can’t remember what it is
Yeah thanks a lot man this really helped
is there a weapon cosmetic paint in any of the DLCs that matches the barrel color with the scope/picatinny rail?
How many pre built hunting structures are there on rancho?
I need to make sure I don’t miss any
i would just search the map on google or whatever, there’s pics that show it all unlocked.
Right
how do i set up red eer grind on te awora
get drink zones
Beautiful.

Bonjour
G'day
owo
i spotted some floating grass spots.. i dont know if this is the right channel to post it but i could not find anything for bugs yet, so i´ll give it a try 😃
there are a lot around in this area, these were just a few.. maybe someone had a bad day designing the riverside ^^
Anyone have som tips on how to do the mission "take a picture of Mr.Black"?
Imo there are two ways. Either you put a tent were he spawns and teleport there for the picture or the classic way. As you pretty much can’t get close enough at the river follow him to the second spot lime 500 m away. There you can spot him at about 40m away.
can anyone help me I can never find anything so can someone give me tips on finding animals
Avoid trees when walking bc its super loud
lol
Simple but good tip at the beginning. Shoot everything that comes so you level quicker.
Do missions as you can for faster leveling. Missions give nice money and xp
callers are way more effective than scents... at least for me
use them all the time
you can go through trees and long grass / bushes but crouch if you do to keep the noise down
i just like to walk
when something is close i look for a tree or bush to hide
and use callers that would help
kill and close range
thats what i do mostly
Callers and bushes are your best friends definitely. You can also check animal hotspots from community guides if you have trouble finding some specific one. But mostly do missions or just walk to the wind and see what comes.
open spaces are good and bad at the same time
you see more - they see you more
learnt to love german map because it looks as nature of my home and im always closer to animals in any contact
That is amplified in the open savannah. Wakes up your inner sniper.
i cant kill beyond 300m - cant judge bullet drop
Especially when trying to bag that trophy wildebeest from the herd.
There's a perk for that
killed maybe one animal by hitting their knee while aiming 1 m above
Africa and Medved taiga have open spaces but i have better luck in taiga for some reason
I've been mostly doing bowhunting in Savanna and that is really good place to train yourself. Move from bush to bush in the opens, never go deep in the forest because warthogs will run you down 😄 Dirt will be your best friend when crawling towards the drinking herd by the lake. That will definitely test your skills.
tall grass is a b....
its good when i have upper ground - but at same level as animals its super hard
Hunting springbok with the 357 gets your handgun score up fairly quickly.
Wait? Isnt that overkill?
No, weapon class 1 is recommended for springbok
Pro tip for fast handgun leveling. Geese. You get almost full points from them with the first one. Easy way to get the second one unlocked.
Scrub hares and jackrabbits get rifle score up fast as well when using the .22, and if you wing a goose it's a handy backup gun
im level 37 and only used rifles and bows so far
I can't even remember my level and can't check it atm.
never had reasons to use pistols
I'm around 40 now but lost my save once. Had backup luckily but lost like 8 levels.
now i have... that mission in africa tells me i need 357 for a hog
Nope.. .44 mag
why is the pistol calibre different ? i can kill a hog with .243 and now you tell me .357 is not enough
It says you need a handgun, so technically you could use the .357 but IIRC the task requires you to get 100% quick kill bonus.
thats a problem - for reason i never shot a pistol
so i dont have points to buy them
i only have default handgun
Can't remember if you needed 100% integrity as well
Spine shot with the .357 should do the trick
Haven't done the mission though, so if you do let me know if it works.
im not playing africa at the moment
went back to my fav Germany till they fix Pothole missions
cant activate second checkpoint no matter of my running around it
think im a lowly rank 26 or something
i use mostly rifle but im not too bad with the bow
but im really rusty at the game in general right now
i think im rather good in close "combat"
im still lacking the hunting skills in open space
I noticed that zeroing perk on the bow doesn't seem to work correctly for me: short range zeroing still shoots over the target, while not having the zeroing perk on works fine.
Also, it occured to me that it would be nice to have a channel here related to IRL hunting as well, what do you guys think?
when target is close - shoot under the target
when target is above your designated distance shoot above
i mostly shoot below the target and always hit
yea ive aimed centre and hit high with my bow just now
What DLC's are a must buy?
none
thats the beauty of this game
when you explore and experience both maps i would suggest map dlc
ATV is nice for exploring but not needed really. Makes opening maps a bit faster. I'd suggest playing the game and if you enjoy then start checking out which dlc seems useful for you.
ATV is useful if you play the game that way
driving to every "house" to open it up
after that you never use them again
Yea the maps are gigantic so u have to spend alot of time walking around the map and getting all the camps
i was on over 70 hours before i looked into the dlc
and i still dont use the tents or blinds
i haven't bought ant dlc's but i might buy the maps
bear taiga map is extremely good
love taiga more than savanna... for now
maps DLCs are priority to get... but dont skip over default 2 maps
Well
default maps are great
im still working on the achievements for killing 50 of each animal. i wish there was a way to track how many of each i have killed
Also fox tips for people who have trouble with foxes. They can take up to 2-5 mins (depending on their difficulty) to circle around to you, and will always circle around to downwind (so use scent eliminators if you have them) before approaching you. Either snipe them from 200m+ or use a scent eliminator before calling. Only call ONCE or TWICE otherwise they spook in my experience.
yea i have trouble with foxs and things like them
same technique with all canids now that I think about it
also tents are useful for hotspots where you find lots of need zones grouped under a vantage point if you main rifles/sniping. I have one at the very top of the hill at Bohndorf Lake and just snipe the red deer that inevitably spawn there nearly every time to get my consecutive harvests up.
Also for anyone with the Vurhonga DLC who want cheap shots on buffalo and have the ATV DLC also - drive after a big herd until you reach an open plain and chase them across it. Jump off your ATV and equip your .470 really quick. They'll be within 50m and ready to aim a spine shot at.
Yeah I'll PM you
Where is the best spot to hunt coyotes in Mount Leviathan?
oof. If this is for the quest, there's a small clearing just west of the lake - they'll sometimes spawn there after 6:00PM. If there's no dice with that, call them in from Cheelah up to the north border. No luck there, chase them from southern Balmont over the border if you can. Other than that, I ended up finding them to the long stretch to the far east of the mountain (coming down from Cheelah) - but it's just luck, I'm afraid. Clear out as many need zones in Mt Leviathan as you can to increase the chance of new species (i.e. coyotes) spawning in their place.
I'm not sure if they actually fixed the spawns for this specific quest when they said they did in the patch notes, as I can't do the quest again.
Thanks I will try it out. 😀
No worries, and good luck!
Ah. Another hint -- the distressed fawn caller will also attract whitetail and blacktail does in my experience - not sure about bucks. This is without the skill that gives a chance to attract diff. animals.
I found footprints of 4 coyotes close to the lookout tower but they went out of the sone I can shoot them in. 😔
Call them back! they can take a couple of minutes but it'll work if you've got scent eliminators!
Their poop was very old. and its day so I have to go from the hut again.
oh dang dude. tough luck hey 😦
i need to hunt a fox in the fields of german map - 100m distance... Just for a love of god cant see a single fox there
Check out this hotspots guide when you need to hunt specific animal https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=938853537
It has helped me few times with missions to have at least an idea where could be more animals you're after 😃
dont need hotspot for this animal
mission is very clear at which fields fox has to be hunted
Ah alright. Might have spooked then. Try late evening or night too. Foxes are active then mostly.
See if you can find a decent piece of high ground inside the field you need to hunt in, so you can look down into the crop stalks, and be very patient luring him in.
For the Hirschfelden Arc and Layton Lake Arc achievements/trophies are only the main missions needed or all side missions too?
How is it in Medved?
So with goose hunting:
- Can use .22, .223, .357, 12Ga + 20Ga buck and bird shot and get 100% integ
- Decoys have a 500m attraction radius
- Max 20 decoys in one field for maximum benefit
Am I missing anything?
how is .357 in that category ?
Same kind of class as .223, only good for varmints and very light game.
seems my math is wrong
.338 - one of the strongest rifles in the game
.357 handgun - level 1 weapon for varmints ?!?
338 is a long cartridge coming out of a rifle barrel, 357 mag is a pistol round thats shorter and coming out of a shorter barrel
(my weapons knowledge is none/ very limited)
basically number isnt everything
can only read the numbers
lots of factors, grain of bullet, how long the barrel is, is it a rifle round/pistol round etc
im lazy... somebody please make excel sheet for weapon classes
i think theres one in the steam guides
OK, well .243, .270, .30-30, .45-70, and 20 and 12Ga slug are all class two.
But the slugs and any rifle other than .243 on any deer (black/white tail, roe/fallow) other than red deer (class 3 critter) is shit integrity. White tail can apparently be downed with .270 fine, but I just tried .30-30 on them and it didnt' work, and .45-70 is way hotter, so probably work even worse.
im still not clear why to use some weapons
i know for a fact 270 is 100% integrity on whitetail
blacktail/roe/fallow need .243
red deer 7mm
OK that's good, if you use it on Fallow though it's going to overkill them.
You can with poly-tip reliably kill reds with .270, but why risk it when you can safely use the 7mm on them?
and nobody really hunts musk deer but they need .223
So my question is what are we "supposed" to use .270, .30-30, and .45-70 + the two shotgun slugs on?
And I tried 12 and 20 Buck on fallows and it was overkill also.
270 is a great boar/warthog killer
Despite nominally being class one, and working fine on geese, so... wtf.
.30-30 seems kinda useless right now
270 is for boar - but its crazy - you can kill boar with 243 easily
The way that I use all of those rifles + cartridges now is as "challenge" guns, where I like them, so I use them with good ammo and careful shot placement to drop class three animals.
.45-70 after the recent buff can take down the elk/moose if you get a good shot i believe but i havent really played around with it too much
actually when you have .243 and 7 mm you can do whatever you want except foxes hunt
Yeah, .45-70 is very powerful with the solid cast round nose projos.
i shot a cape buffalo in the spine with .45-70 and got 100% quick kill actually
forgot about that
.270 i did the same shot only got about 60% quick kill
but yeah .243 and 7mm is really all you need tbh
slugs are just a meme i guess ive used em maybe 3 times
I carry them frequently but haven't found a good use for them except on class 3 animals for 100% integ, but that's literally 1-2 classes over their designation.
still have to use lever guns - dont know how and when those guns are the best
.30-30 =/= .243
.45-70 =/= .270 or 7mm
So it isn't a case of they're just lever gun styled choices to fill the same roles, because they don't get integrity scores if you use them in those roles, despite being the same class two weapons.
ok - when is 30-30 better than 243
situations
i know lever rifles can reload faster
They are not equivalent rifles.
Based on integrity scores, you will not get 3x100% values if you use them. That's the basis of my "wtf is this all for then?" because, as you've said already, .243 and 7mm do everything you need on every map.
I find they're better for follow up shots and they have good penetration, so for dangerous game, probably better. But the bolt guns also cycle very quickly (time between individual shots, rather than reloading empty weapon), so.
yeah - lever guns - cowboy hunt
lets go into bushes - lets shoot 20 bullets fast in something 10 m away
thats the reason i dont use those
usually im silent and prefer 1 hit kills
Same. I am also trying to get x100% values whenever possible for maximum points/experience and cash output.
handguns could be useful
but getting to useful one is problem
wtf should i do with 357
Shoot very small critters with it apparently. Supposedly roe and fallow deer are good for levelling out of the .357 quickly... but I find it too frustrating so I just don't bother with pistols except the .357 sometimes carried to pump a few into a bear if I'm rushed and flub a rifle shot
As soon as you unlock the flathead hard cast bullets for the .357, you can heart shot or spine shot deer quite easily. Learn where the heart is and the hard cast .357 round will have no trouble reaching it. If you are having trouble with starting ammo, try a shot to the back of the neck.
I’m looking for a map to start getting into the nitty-gritty with hunting in this game. Plentiful game with reasonable terrain that I can take advtantage of. Any ideas on a starter map, for simple son of a Shepard?
Layton or Hirsch probably
people say its easier to hunt on usa map
but i think german map is better for learning
Layton has generally more animals but they are bigger. Hirch has more beginner friendly animals but some parts of the map is more challenging to hunt.
default .243 is very good in german map
usa has more 7mm animals
same as medved taiga
Layton is great for bows. So much big animals to take down.
hm
would say the opposite
german map is more personal because hills and forrest make all contacts up close
for arrows you want to be close to the target
open lands are made for snipers killing animals from 300m+
Well good thing about bows is that they work in every map nicely
any tips for fox hunting ?
Caller is your best friend and find need zones. Hide in bushes and have high ground if possible so you can see it coming before it can see you and they are noctural animal so it's most active at late evening and night.
They can take up to 2-5 mins (depending on their difficulty) to circle around to you, and will always circle around to downwind (so use scent eliminators if you have them) before approaching you. Don't overuse the caller, they're prone to spooking. They're found at night evenly over the map, not more nor less in a particular region.
im doing the mission when you have to get one with a bow
yeah, just wait in a bush close to a need zone whilst "nearly invisible" - the semi-transparent line on the visibility indicator - and use your caller and scent eliminators. wait for it to come close.
yea i dont have any red fox need zones inthe mission area so i have to hunt them
@cyan axle not when mission say 100m distance is needed for a fox
ive travelled about 750 meters and the wind has changed direction sooooo many times.
wait 100m with a bow? i think i missed that quest lol
not bow
fox bow is early one
im in mission of shooting a fox on 100m distance on certain fields
Just bought the game on ps4 walked around 2 hours now but Still havent got a single catch, anyone have beginner tips for me? Anyone wanna play and help me on ps4?
dont run
you can walk normaly though
use the wind source
try not to be in position where wind comes from your back and goes in your walking path
less animal with spawn infront of you
when you see or hear anything - crouch, be silent, move slowly
also you will learn where animals usualy are
they are around water, fields and edge of the forrest
and let them come to you more then you trying to come to them
And if possible, train up your skills with bow and arrow. That stuff doesn't scare animals away like guns do, but have limited range
How do I know if Im close to an animal?
The bigger the indication of a call, the closer it is
aND WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING, YOU LOOK THAT WAY. hEADPHONES ARE A MUST
Sorry for caps, I did it on accident
if you can aim the animal easily - you are good
Yeah headphones are a must imo. I am using the Plantronics Rig800 LX. You can easily hear from where the noises from animals come from.
I mean, no need in something expensive
I think any surround headset will do
yea its like playing alien isolation. you need headset
Up to yesterday normal earphones that cam ewith my Samsung worked just fine
Except that you are the alien, I presume
no
What indicates the green thing on your compass?
Wind direction
Move so that it's pointing behind you so animals can't smell you 😃 If you walk the wind on your back then your scent is going ahead of you and animals will smell you from far.
So Dont walk towards where the green thing is pointing?
Yes. Sure you can do it but just be aware that animals will smell you easily 😃
K Thanks
No prob. Have fun and happy hunting!
I have a harder time finding animals in hers. Than in Layton
hers is a more noisy map and it sometimes feels like the animal spawns are abit odd
I kinda miss how quiet Hirschfelden was before the geese were added.
to this day ive never hunted one
i remember hunting them in classic
The biggest problem I have with geese is that they actually won’t appear when I wanna hunt them. It’s so stupid. 😅
anyone have an updated weapon spreadsheet for integrity?
The spreedsheet for buckshot integrity is so wrong.
How u supposed to do the mission at Lake Cheelah, harvest a whitetail/blacktail at night when it doesn't work. Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.
Having the same problem with that Lake Cheelah mission, if its not the fact that no animals ever show up at the lake, meaning there is nothing to shoot and harvest, on my last attempt a Blacktail did appear, I killed it only to find that they don't actual register for the completion of the mission, despite what the description says. So if anyone knows how to make a lot of whitetail appear in this area at night please let me know asap.
what's the best place for a Cape Buffalo in Vorhunga?
North part of the map
thx
The Lake Cheelah night hunt mission required me to patiently patrol the area until I found a bunch of need zones, then I completed it with a blacktail buck.
So the day before, find need zones, then hunt the patrol box at night. I am annoyed over the mission wording; deer usually ends up meaning bucks.
They added bt for the mission too? It was wt only back them
Then*
A pain in the a**
I am pretty sure I got it with a BT buck, but I had to shoot bucks for it not does. Deer doesn't carry gender in English, so I was confused.
Yean they mivht have changed it
What's the biggest animal I can reliably use the 45-70 on
Cape Buffalo
Round nose soft point solids out of the .45-70 are good for anything if you have correct shot placement. I go for headshots.
out of curiosity, do all animals in cotw have potential to be diamonds?
Yeah
ok
was just wondering cause i remember taking down a max weight fallow recently on console and it was a gold, not a diamond
probably had like 1 point off the max trophy score to be a diamond lol
Idk how it really works in cotw
But weight doesn't determine a final trophy score
It's based on the antlers for deer
Although in classic, for some reason, weight is slightly related to final trophy score
Which is not right since antlers regrow throughout the animal life (unlike horns)
If cotw gets TruRACS then im pretty sure many classic players will join
All species have the potential to have diamond-rated individuals, if that's what you meant. Your best bet is to figure out which is the highest "difficulty rating" and unlock the skill that allows you to see the approx. trophy rating (not weight) when you spot it with binocs. If it's the highest range, and a high difficulty (4-5 for fallow), it's got a decent chance of being capable of being diamond. @bold patrol If you're not in the business of caring about spoilers, check the general chat where I've put a storyline bear that nearly everyone else got a Diamond rating for (with all three stats at 100%) - it's a Mythical, but the "trophy rating" (its skull size) wasn't generated high enough in my game for it to be ranked diamond.
For instance, this moose I saw yesterday on the Taiga - I knew just from my two eyes (without spotting or checking weight or trophy rating) that its rack was large enough to make it eligible for a Diamond ranking. Will upload pic now
big boi
oh wow that is a very big moose :o
He turned out to be difficulty 5, which is the highest for moose, which means he's almost certainly going to be Diamond when I track him down.
His antlers are just ginormous. I was just calling over reindeer to try and get this dumbass achievement and he wandered by. Was too shocked to even try kill him haha
not surprised lol
i'd be shaking like a leaf if i saw a moose like that
in RL? heck me too.
rl and in-game
High key I get nervous when big animals are around too lol. Very interesting tho I didn't know stuff like lvl 4s and 5 could be diamond I have been disregarding then in the hopes of a lvl 7 or 8 kinda deer or moose
I've been working on stacking need zones in hopes of having more high tier bucks around for some of these achievements. Gold are becoming more common but have yet to see a diamond. 127hrs in.
im on 117 and have yet to see anything over rank 7 or a diamond
Shot and killed a wild rank 8 coyote and only got gold lol
And does that mean shooting stuff like bears, coyotes and maybe animals with antlers in the head lowers the rating?
damaging the trophy will lower the score
So headshots are a bad idea lol
depends on the animal
Well, that's my bad. Probably did have a diamond bear or two then.
Bears I get a bit antsy about and tend to .45-70 right in the face-hole.
the skull i think is the trophy on a bear
Yeah, it is. Skull for lynx, bear, and coyote I think.
Does skull count as part of the rack for deer/moose/etc? Are we collecting heads + racks or just the antlers for trophies?
i think shooting in the head can damage them
Bears are heckin tanks. 454 casull HP to the head and it literally bounced off. 0 dmg
i dont get to hunt many bears as i dont find many and when i do they run off
hey
sry to bother
im playing one of the first times in layton lake
i have the atv and weapon pack 1 upgrade and im out of ammo and i havent found the atv or my guns
what to do?
You went to the armory? The ATV is in the "Garage" tab.
i dont know where the armory is
nor my owned guns
and i am out of ammo in the middle of ... places
could some1 please help x)
The armory is a big orange cupboard that you find at the rest area
ok thanks
Rest areas have house icons on the map. They are green if you have not discovered it yet. When you're there, you have to activate them by going to the level of the flag mat.
thank you very much.
np
what are some easy ways to get cash
Find a big group of animals that have callers and use a silenced weapon. F.e. I use a bow with 420 grain on red deer
They run? Just call them, they will come back
Easiest way is to get geese dlc and just shoot the money off the sky. They are best way to get cash right now.
i need to try goose hunting
geese or rabbit hunting. cheap rounds, easy targets and the cash is as big as with larger animals.
ill try bunnies
I shouldn't expect to see signs of activity around every need zone, right?
I know that need zones are not always populated (regardless of hunting pressure) and it doesn't mean animals are within 100m of the need zone (seems to be a 250m radius around the zone marker)
But I shouldn't expect to see hoofprints and other spoor either every time, right?
Each need zone has time estimation when you can expect animals to be there. If you go during that time, then there is high chance of animals.
It's a need zone for a herd of animals. It shows how many animals are in it when you find the zone.
For my part, many times I went to areas of need at the times indicated and often I do not see anyone. xD
Yeah, it's not every time. What I was saying was, there won't be tracks either unless animals have recently passed through there.
What's the best gun and scope for long distance shots that usually drop them in a few shots?
I only ask because i'm tired of shooting these, and them running off and i cant ever find them.I think i need a bigger gun
is a 45-70 good for those
45-70 is too weak for the buffalo. Even the 7mm does not guarantee a 100% quick kill
@hollow wren I can get any gun, I would like to know the best gun and scope for long distance shots
The 470NE and any big magnification scope
.338*
But long shots are not recommended for them, u won't get a instant kill
im using a 7mm with a hyperion 8x42 scope now
ive gotten 100% quick kill on a buffalo with .45-70 once
straight to the spine
that was only once though
see if i can find it
So to get instant kills i would need to be closer, what guns would be instant kill?
With a good shot placement (mostly spine shots sadly) maybe the 7mm can
I mean if he could with the 45-70
nah, you asked what gun i was using, the 7mm is what ive been shooting with, and they just run off forever
Well get a 338 or the nitro express
but yet ive had like 4 buffalo ive shot with 338 with the tracer right on the spine
If you can
but it says flesh shot
i can get any gun
so i dunno
.454 maybe
.454 is great
No grind for me lol, ill go buy it
what a good general good to move onto after the 470 ?
Hello, excuse me for disturbing you. But it's to ask you for the DOC #21 quest. In the quest it is marked to kill a white-tailed deer or a black-tailed deer all at night and in the area. But in this area no white-tailed deer and when you kill a black tail deer it does not validate the quest.
How to do this?
ok thank
@next wadi : Requires you to kill a buck.
@wicked moat Thank you
Anyone knows any glitches?
If for some reason that doesn't work, there are white tails at the southern end of the lake and black tails at the north, @next wadi
out of curiosity, do console users have the ability to play with pc users, or are the servers for console and pc completely separate?
i think they are separate
would be nice to see some form of cross platform thing one day
maybe on theHunter 2 call of the wilder
yeah
ah bummer
the only way i can play cotw until i get my new computer is on my brother's xbox when he visits, would be nice to play with someone
yeah with 4gb ram u cant play its so ugh ugly
the computer i have atm is one of the basic home/work computers and it runs cotw at 5fps
it's painful to watch
470NE or 45-70 for buffalo ?
470 does the job nicely from max 100-150 meters. Haven't tried 45-70 myself but been reading that it's really effective too.
i need to try more of the guns
Is a duck with 772 trophy score big?
ok thanks.
Is a 95 kg Blacktail deer diamond?
Weight has little to do with deer rank, it's about the "trophy rating", or the size of the antlers. If you end up spotting the animal and you have the skill unlocked in your skill tree to gauge approximate trophy rating, you can check against this page here: http://thehunter-cotw.wikia.com/wiki/Blacktail_Deer - under "Rating"
Of course a larger, older buck (i.e. heavier) is logically more likely to have larger antlers, though I believe the trophy mechanic more accurately represents it.
Untrue. I stalked a moose on Medved just last night, max. weight was 620kg, which is the highest tier - when I spotted it, it was only a level 4 difficulty, and had a gold-trophy-level rack.
It's simply an estimation of the size and I assume the seniority / age of the animal
here, i'll chuck a screenshot of the moose in question
Not at all, since they regrow antlers
But anyway weight is still related to trophy score
Of course it would be related, I'm just saying that in all the time I've played this game, it's way more accurate to go off the trophy rating estimation than the weight - though of course the weight is an excellent preliminary to get an idea of the animal you're dealing with
And shit, that totally slipped my mind that they shed hahaha. my bad!
this is the moose, and i've also seen other level 4 difficulty moose which fall in the weight tier below, which is the 470-545kg
No i mean it's related but actually it shouldn't (and if im wrong please correct me on this one).
You're right, it shouldn't, because as you said, they regrow antlers IRL. Though clearly it's not a mechanic in CoTW
Since they dont grow their antlers till death
Yup
Same in classic though (not 100% related but still)
Yeah damn I fricked that up haha
proof that weight /=/ difficulty / trophy rating
What is the best time to hunt geese?
Go early morning I'd say. They are pretty active whole day.
is the lynx missions limited or will they stay there forever?
didnt see there was a classic tips and hints .-. sorry
finally found a fox in the mission zone and its run out of the mission zone
and there goes fox number 2. who tracks just stop
Foxes are their own thing I'd say. I never bother since it's really annoying most of the time 😄
in the in game hunter animal guide thing they are listed as easy. i think that needs changing
What do you mean, 'the tracks stop' ?
Well they are relatively easy but harder to find.
I've had a couple times I thought that had happened, but it was never actually the case. What I did was corkscrew out from my last good track until I found more spoor.
i tried that
I have had times where the track bent by 90deg and the next spoor was twice as far as usual, that I almost gave up on, but it isn't always consistent especially around rocks.
Sorry to hear it has been fucky for you though. I've given up on a couple too.
We had a good discussion here a week or two ago about fox hunting.
whats killing me is that outside of the mission area the are around and quite vocal.
inside they are rare and very quiet
hunting them with rifles is alright but with bows is a pain
Definitely requires some skill I don't have with bows.
i cant get near them or get them to come to me to take the shot
Malloc I have a gigantic day and a gigantic evening ahead of me but if I can find the time somewhere after 8:00PM AEST, if you havent given up fully I'll tentatively try to host a server on my shithole internet for you and show you how I do it.
Oh here's an interesting thing; I don't multiplayer often - so can anyone tell me how to issue a server-wide multiplayer challenge that every member can participate in?
afaik the host is able to issue them from the Mission menu
What are the non-dlc weapons I can use to get full integrity on foxes/coyotes etc?
coyote you can get integrity with the starter .243
foxes you need the smaller .223
lynx same as coyote .243
jackal as well is .243
Ok, thanks 😄
Have some high level foxes walking around and want to get full integrity to get gold
Having started a whole new save game last week just before the Duck DLC came out, I'm still currently on Layton Lakes, so was wondering at what Level you'd change to other reserves? I know from my previous save that Medved and Africa are best going to when your high level and have most of the skills, perks and weapons unlocked but what about Hirsch? When is a good time to start venturing there?
Hmm... i start from Hirsch, and for now never go somewhere else :)
I dont have too much hours in game.... 70, maby 80.
I never know that LL was "easiest"
And i have all DLC so it's not about "i can't go there" :)
I just feel that there is so much to ki... do in Hirsch :D
What kind makes think their is a route to how you should inititally tackle the reserves is looking at what levels the required callers and scents and stuff become available. So Layton is a no brainer starting reserve as you start with the Deer Bleat Caller, soon get the Predator Jackrabbit Caller and Elk where as if you started on Hirsch it's a long time before you get the Fallow Deer Caller, Red Deer Caller, Boar Callers and the scents, which would make hunting there as a low level starting player a real grind.
Yes, i dont know that when i start playing. Right now i'm around 25-27lvl... not sure exacly and i have som stuff...
I probably will go to LL for ducks... i still dont know many things about this game and i trully hate shop, it's so hard to find certain type of ammo or read description what is better.
I think there can me many things that can be do better, but anyway i very lke this game and i'm glad that there is many new content....
I have all DLC and i still in first reserve :)
Are there any integrity charts after the vorhunga update
ive got 138 hours in the game and while ive been on all the reserves ive spent about 70% of my time on hirsch and ive still got plenty to do on it.
Hirch is a bit more challenging than Layton and it has a lot more color. It's so pretty and you can feel like you breath the fresh air when you walk around those fields. But everyone has their favorites.
i always found it the other way around
the bigger animals on layton dont always go down so easy
the fallow deer and roe deer are easier
and the fallow deer are good for a relaxing hunt
is callers not working ?
i dont think the fix it out yet
so that means they are not working? cause no animals are responding / reacting on my calls
sounds like theres something wrong with scents aswell
Yea scents are also broken at the moment, that got confirmed by a dev. Hotfix should drop today though 😃
wonder if they will give us a day of animals who have given up on life to balance out the broken callers
mind you hunting without callers or sprays aint so bad
maybe a hunt club mission where you have to go out an kill without a caller of spray while using a Recurve bow
I've heard of a trick to reset animal population and hunting pressure when starting your game. Can anyone recommend this ?
I've seen people say it might cause issues (no definition of those issues however) I for one, have used it from time to time and never noticed any issues. YMMV.
@wicked moat thanks. source?
No idea mate, got it from a dude here.
@teal breach Source for that docs file can be found here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1468051506
Hi, the game was working well for me and suddenly I hear all the sounds except the shooting and recharging of the weapons. Any ideas?
@last hemlock thanks mate
@spare wave that is very strange. Begin with verifying steam files.
2 Questions What is better for hunting Whitetail, 270 or 243 and what parts of Layton Lake is best to search for them?
Any dev that can help me?
Not a dev but can see if can help you out. What is it?
Im playing a story mission in medved taiga
it doesnt let me complete it
Its called the lost and found
What you are supposed to do and how it doesn't let you finish it? Don't remember if I've done it myself but can search forums for you to see if others have similar problems 😃
Im supposed to search for tracks from a missing reindeer wich turns dead by a lynx wich gets killed by a bear
then i should kill a wounded reindeer but i got a flesh wound
tracked it but the tracks stopped and i've searched around it
Alright. Someone had died during the mission and hed changed the time to next day and the reindeer had reappeared. Could try that?
*had
wym?
Cool, hope it works!
Tried restarting the game?
Try that. Restarting the game most likely will help I'm sure
Hope that fixes it and you get to continue the mission.
Im back
Let us know if it works 😃
That's awesome! Glad to help 👍
Haha go get 'em! 😄
That means a lot, thank you so much! 😊
😉
I go show these trashes who is the boss too and go throw them out haha
👀
Well that turned out good for you!
Diamond albino. That is the rarest of the rares. Hope you catch it before it's out.
never seen a diamond and only albino ive seen was a mission one
ye
but it diamond if u get full consec integrity and quick kill
ill bring the 338 and i'll go for thoracic spine and if i get it its my first diamond
got a melanistic brown bear yesterday but forgot to screen
NEED HELP,Was playing yesterday and I got off cane back on and my character got completely wiped of guns levels everything
Do you use Bitdefender? If so you need to make sure it excludes the save folder. Also are you sure you didn't press new game instead of continue? (Happens more than you'd think it would) If not check the following thread. http://steamcommunity.com/app/518790/discussions/5/133259227516123011/ Making regular backups is recommended.
Hey guys i started on layton lake.. i am wondering when should i move on to the other maps? on a specific level ? what did you guys do?
Hi Moratir! I'd say try Hirsch too! Both reserves are great to start tho. Layton has a lot of animals but they are a bit tougher in general to take down with the starter rifle. Hirsch has more suitable animals to start with but it's a bit more bushy environment so you might scare more animals with sound. So try both and see which you prefer 😃
Thanks and when can i say like i am done with a map after unlocking all outposts and killing all animals atleast once? and which map should i play after the winter or african map? 😮
Well there kinda is no "done with map". You can finish all the missions, you can kill all animals but you can still enjoy the game same. It's an open world game so do what you like best! If you want to go hunt in savanna, do it! Everyone has their preferences what to hunt and where so you will know best by playing them 😃
Alright thanks !!
Have fun and enjoy the game 😃 No need to sweat too much where to hunt. Unlock new gear, do missions as they are good source of xp and cash or just start walking and see what you come across with. Exploring is great in the game.
144 hours in and still spend most of my time on the map i started on
I try to play each reserver to change pace and scenery but I still feel most home in Hirsch. I could roam those fields and northern hills for a long time.
yea ive played them all but ive spent most time on that map
Playing a lot of taiga lately, love the story missions
What platform are you playing on mate?
Need to down a whitetail deer within 30m at south lake, I've been trying to do this mission so many times and there is no deer to be found
Any tips?
Callers fixed yet though?
Was stated so in the patch notes so I'd take that as a yes
I'm afk and haven't seen the updates yet for about a week.
@lilac wraith : on missions like that, I have simply gone and done other things for a few days and when I go back to it often I find a need zone in the mission area... but not before. I think this may be more coincidence than anything but it keeps me enjoying the game.
Thanks @wicked moat I'll just ignore it for a bit then
How's the 12g slug and 338 for cape buffalo?
Hello, would anyone how much distance equals each noise meter bar and visibility state? (I know it depends on the animals stats too but there should be a default value, right?)
isnt it 50m per bar while its white
1 bar is about 8-10m, 2 bars around 15m... 3 bars is 25m ...1 red bar 50m, 2 red bars 100m 3 red bars 150m+ so keep quiet 👍
@velvet gorge
heard this, then heard it was changed in a patch around mars or something
so don't know what to believe :p
not to my knowledge
still too fresh into the game to waste some kills trying to test out stuff atm
never been in ant status updates or patch notes mate
so if say it's still at what I put there
besides if it had changed I'd be spooking everything ... so it's not changed afaik
alright, thanks !
Seems like nobody hears more than 250; even rifle shots won't spook them.
although if not thx again
quick question: do mallard bodies float on water?
No quick way to move across water and certain depths slow progress to almost nothing, right? I'm not just missing something obvious like 'hold ctrl to swim'
Didn't think so. It's good that terrain matters... until a critter runs out somewhere hard to get to, then mildly frustrating.
im having a dilemma over if i want to spend 25$ on dlc
i feel like i want it, but i also dont know if i will get to a point where i stop playing the game and waste the 25
ive stopped playing it before, so i know its plausible
ok
which dlc shouls i get first?
kk
thx
im trying to do the mission hunting for gold in hirschfelden, and i have shot about 15-20 animals but it is not complete. Does anyone know how much hunting pressure i must create or if i need to hunt a spesific type of animal?
yes, but the mission requires hunting pressure
If the mission area is on an openfield I would recommend hunting goose there makes these missions way easier. @strange pivot
its mostly forest 😕
Make sure you are in the orange area marked on the map, hunting & harvesting three animals should be enough for that mission.
can be any animal.
probably bugged or something then
@strange pivot I just completed that mission yesterday. I shot 5 animals in the one area. Turned the hunting pressure in that area almost a deep pink. It completed the mission.
@last hemlock you mentioned the Africa and Goose DLC as first picks. The Weapon pack not also a good choice given the .22?
So. I'm really enjoying the game so far. but I definitely seem to see less animals than I see people on YT videos etc. Now I am keeping low and quiet most of the time even when I'm not immediately tracking something. Any other tips?
Well on Youtube like in most Hunting programs or even fishing, the footage is mostly cut together with all the action from about 2 hours of footage to 15 minutes worth.
I need help my game has reset I lost all my stuff I could not find aplace to show I need help so this was the next best thing
please Help I need Ideas
So what exactly is consecutive kill?
Is the .270 better as a starter weapon? While I can insta-down animals in classic, I consistently fail doing so in COTW
In short, my shot's bad 😛 😄
finally.. 30 minutes of track and call with a coyote and I got it. was almost a gold 😄
only monsters aim for the spine smh
I heard purists always go for the heart shot or at least the double lung. but spine seems to work fine (but not in real life)
id rather go for the heart but im not a good shot
but the starting gun call kill upto a moose with a spine shot
so, I've never seen a diamond level animal in my game so far. I think it's because I'm struggling to get to vantage points over large open areas so I can scope them out. because If I'm going through forests etc they've probably seen/smelt/heard me well before I ever get nearby
How do Diamond animals present? My understanding is I would see, for example, a L5 bear and if I shot it properly it'd be a diamond kill, otherwise a gold. I've only seen one 8 Mythical so far, which is a lynx.
But it doesn't list off as being a diamond, for example, and not all animals are mythical but you can get diamonds from L5 Elk or what have you.
Thank you heaps for that, Jonas 👍
any overall tips for finding animals? I see a lot of people seem to follow the rivers. is that just for better visibility or higher grouping of need zones?
whenever i try to take a screenshot using the in-game camera the pictures always end up being a completely black screen. does anyone know how to fix this? using the hotkey "f12" works just fine but i dont want to see the hud and such in the screenshots
Change the directory of where your steam screen shots go?
I believe the camera still saves them to steam like a screenshot
I can't join a multiplayer game on PS4. It's stuck on loading screen or goes back to main screen. What's going on?
@cinder elbow ? Can you help with that?
If there was ever a time that I just wanted to fall over and never wake up it would be now. Not only after a process of updating my drivers finding a safe place for my files to keep and resetting my computer back to factory settings to fix this game and a lot of praying it still doesn't work and plays like in slow motion. God, please help me.
Is there any difference between normal and steel 20ga birdshot?
@velvet gorge No.
aight thanks
tips fedora you are most welcome.
so i shot a moose about 20m away with a .20ga slug it said vital hit and i ran off i searched the way it ran and not a single track i've went over the area 5 times and i cant find any trace of it
can someone help
yeah but the problem is it left no tracks
its a day late but if you saw where he ran thats the best bet
i did but i checked all over in that direction and nothing
Maybe someone with more experience playing the game longer than me could answer this. Do you eventually unlock the beds at places like hopes camp and roonanchee church?
Ahh
Ummm I know there was a bed in the church I could use
But it wasn't like a fast travel spot, far as i know
yeah I just wanted to use the beds but it doesnt let me
So wondered if you had to do the quest lines first
I've used the one in the church before during the side quest to kill a bear near there
Or... Uhh I maybe I tried using it but it didn't let me. I don't remember very well its been months
hi I am stuck on the mission to take a picture of 2 black bears i have taken multiple pictures of 2 black bears standing next to each other but it wont finish the mission

Press tab, if you holstered it press H
NOTHING
Switch to weapon, press TAB.

thanks
hi I am stuck on the mission to take a picture of 2 black bears i have taken multiple pictures of 2 black bears standing next to each other but it wont finish the mission
https://steamcommunity.com/id/rjmcfingers/screenshots/
you need to be in area where you need to take picture of both bears
if you are not on map where the mission is required to be done
you will never pass it
thanks
it doesnt tell a specific area
then they dont need to be spooked
Hey, could someone help me work out why I didn't get 100% Integrity on this? A few different sites say 100% when using 600GR arrows.
Beta ended today so that might be it. Also it's a beta, so not every single player of this game will have switched and would be hosting multiplayer games. So yes it is perfectly normal.
love the new HUD UI
@exotic trellis the picture you sent has the bears kinda far out and not clear. You gotta get really close
@terse narwhal Integrity is weird when switching from rifle calibers to arrows. For example, the 7mm is ethical for black bear, but 600 gr arrows, which should theoretically be the equivalent of the 7mm because they are in the same weapon class, is not. Sometimes, sites that display weapon classes are not 100% accurate. It takes some experimentation to get accurate integrity tables. So, I'd say, when in doubt, use 420 gr arrows. They work on most game. I've even used them to down moose in one shot.
what happens if you shoot mr black?
Wondering the same thing
whats a mr black
i am still trying to find the 2 bears together to take their picture...lol
It is no longer needed to take pictures of two bears in one picture, just take pictures of two different bears, they don't have to be in the same picture
It was changed because it was too difficult to do originally, unfortunately the mission description doesn't convey the change
If anyone needs a guide with the metric system. Like the weights etc. in kg instead of lbs. I made a guide. Its called: Animals (Metric)
Its a guide regarding all animals
Hey, I'm wondering what seems you people consider the best picks for first dlc
I'm eyeing the taiga map, and people seem to agree that the tents dlc is pretty vital from what I've read
I personally would get Vuhonga before I got Medved. The Tiaga is filled with disturbing amounts of floating vegetation and rocks. Tents dlc is great as it gives you more places to change gear and fast travel to. Might consider the weapon pack dlc as it adds some new weapons to the game. If you were only going to get one. Vuhonga would be my suggestion. If more, go with tents and or weapons
Thanks for the answer! <3
Does anyone know if the Hunter: COTW supports 21:9 aspect ratio?
I'm looking for new screens today since it's black Friday
cotw, has options for setting the screen resolution. What is it and I can check @modest eagle
3440x1440
Negative
Damn
2560x1440 27" isnt bad. I run 3 of them
Sure, I was looking at those but I need a high resolution and a large screen since I am an artist as well.
And do game occasionally
Have you looked at ASUS?
Not EVERY screen but a couple
check their website. lots of options
Acer 34" LED Curved ED347CKR
some not very cheap. lol. These were $750
I've looked at that one
It's going for 6500 SEK
aka around 600€
But's too much man
Ow lol just noticed that that's not ASUS it's ACER lmfao
Basically what I paid
oh yeah, I heard geese were kinda bugged? is that still the case?
For anyone interested I updated my guide for the Gemsbok and added a 'How to get a Diamond' section. Guide: Animals (Metric)

theHunter™: Call of the Wild - New Species 2018
When the reserves initially opened, 12 animal species were huntable between Layton Lake District and Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve, and an additional 4 in Medved-Taiga National Park and 7 in Vurhonga Savanna (paid DLC content). The ecosystems of these reserves are ever-changin...
that adds like multi colored deer or is that already there?
Does anyone know how to fix super low fps, walk really slow, few second freeze wen shoot an when I jump feels like there is barely any gravity
fps is a thing in this game... Sometimes its just fine sometimes its so annoying. It also seems to matter where you are in the map. Hope they optimize some things and maybe fix it
Anyone had any luck using the Cinematic Tools with the latest patch? Mine's just crashing as I launch the program.
I've got all the dependencies, running as admin, no luck
How much of a shit do animals give that it's night? Is their sight degraded or do they live a perpetual Jedi Knight existence?
@quiet holly
howdy everyone
i have connectivity problems on ps4 before the gemsbok patch i could connect to any mp server no problem at all now with the gemsbok patch i get a choice of 2 servers of witch time out if i try join and i cant join a friends server neither can they join mine plz help
@iron fern
@shadow saffron You are best to write to support. Nothing I can do sorry.
Chances are we know about the issues though.
Also its 11:30pm here and I am about to go to sleep 😄
is that on twitter
ok night
That issue has been brought up a bit, so they definitely know about it, and are working on it 😃
ok thanks @tropic stump
just a quick question anyone have this problem i shot a gemsbok with the crossbow and there was no blood to track it went to layton tried the crossbow on a moose same thing tried ducks with 20g the ducks did not die
Yeah same here, in the African map. Shot a phew animals, but they didn't die nor there was any blood, on ps4
It's a known bug, should be fixed in the next update, along with the new map.
I have 2 questions
1 How does it work when I have tracks of lets say a diamond or I see a diamond in a certain area. If I choose not to go after it and do that in another session wil that specific diamond be still there?
And 2, how does it work with the thing of shooting animals and they come back as potential diamons later, as Flinter and THEHUNTERDD33 talked about in a stream
@topaz crag , 1: yes the animal will not go away. If you hunt it next week it will still be there, 2: If you shoot a male animal, there is a chance it will be a higher level when a new one spawns in, so if it's like a level 8 Water buffalo , it could be a level 9 when it respawns. Or a level 5. I am not very sure about the second answer though. Maybe someone can confirm.
Ah okay, so I can come back later to get it. Nice.
@fleet plinth That's my understanding of how that works too, yeah.
thanks fellow hunters!
i think the mule deer should be redone any one else agree
trail cameras would be awesome in cotw who agrees
I agree
Along with treestands and muzzleloaders
The lvl 4 and 3 racks for mule deer are way too small
But I can live with them
With all the complaining about them EW really has no choice but to redo their antlers
fun fact you can kill pumas and mulies with the 7mm and get integrity
i will stick with my 243 on pumas 7mm seems a bit op for them.
muzzleloaderrs would be great addition
Does anyone know how many Stone Circles there are in the new map? Just wondering.
15 or 16, you get a mission for them in the single player campaign that has a counter
Even with a double lung from a 7mm they run for a little while
cougars that is
the mulies don't stand a chance
how exactly does the "trophy lodge" in parque fernando work? I shot a diamond puma and there is nothing in the lodge. Do I have to put them manually or something?
I think you need to do the main missions until the lodge is complete
oh, ok. I just started shooting at things asap lol
4th animal i took in fernando just happened to be a diamond puma
Very first I saw aside from the ducks was a gold L7 puma male. Tragically didn't get a diamond out of him.
what should the first rifle i should be saving up for ?
@wicked moat you can have puma male level 8 and not have a diamond, so no chance getting a level 7 diamond puma
@tired fulcrum .270
I've got mule free scent on me, will that also not scare away other animals? I couldn't find a scent eliminayor
Eliminator*
Does anyone know when the new but fix is coming out 😦 I don’t own the map but my friend does so doing the beta thing isn’t going to work
Word from the developer is still ASAP. I'm sure we'll get a status update this week, maybe even a initial patch. Keep an eye on their twitter and the steam news section.
From the Trailblazer beta announcement: "Please await more news from us about the “live” update that will fix the main version of the game during the beginning of next week."
Darn 😦
@compact knot no, you need the sdent eliminator. just go to store and in equipment there should be scent eliminator.
Anyone else's .44 Skin from the story mission gone I just noticed mine is gone when I know I got it doing the story missions.
@gusty spruce have you unlocked the normal .44 already? because you need enough weapon score to have the normal .44 so that you can use the new skin as well.
@leaden prawn Thanks, guess I wasn't looking hard enough
@leaden prawn yes I have.
Is dilute rare ?
Hello, can someone help me with an ingame issue on parque fernando?
Well I can try at least
@tropic stump Ok, do u know the gold mine mission
If you go to the area you originally put the dynamite at you should be prompted with the option to place it again
It'll float in midair, but you should then be able to go back to the rocks and shoot it again
i could place it again and ive shot 17 .243 bullets on it but it doesent blow up
@meager monolith Any idea?
Or anyone else that had to revert to placing it again, for that matter
Have you been back to the rocks?
yes
My suggestion is to place a tent near the cave.
ahhh
every dlc except tents
maybe if i restart my game?
ok
@next aurora is online, Lit
and @marble stone 😄
Admin i also have a really annoying glitch while sprinting, my friends run twice as fast as me 😭
@low cosmos Does your PC meet the minimum requirements?
@low cosmos Try restarting your game and downloading the latest patch if you haven't already, that seems to include a fix for your issue
Should get it when you try to launch the game next time on Steam 😛
Might have already gotten it, you remember downloading something before the game started up today?
no but i did that mission and then restarted my game and before i could start it again it downloaded
probably that patch
That'd be it, yeah
I think I'd just recommend doing some other missions, or just hunting a bit around the map, then coming back to the gold mine later to see if it'll work properly then
ok, ty
Unloading it and spending some time elsewhere should hopefully reset it to a point where you can salvage something from it
gonna play some LoL now cuz i dont wanna mess around bout it
Or that 😛
When this beta was put up, I copied over the folder with the many numbers in my ‘Saves’ folder into the ‘delivery trailblazer beta’ folder. So I could play with my own gear. This worked like a charm, like it did during the gemsbok beta. You think I can do the reverse too? Copy the many numbers folder from the ‘delivery trailblazer beta’ folder back into the ‘Saves’ folder. I have backups from before and after any changes in the game so I can try it.. but if a dev sees this: is this guaranteed to break things? Or can I test it and if nothing weird happens continue on? I wanna try this because there’s a diamond in there :’)
Should work fine, assuming nothing changed about the saves in the latest patch, which I doubt
Definitely keep backups though
Thanks! Yeah I have backups coming out of my ... way too anxious about these kinds of things 😄 i didn’t do nothing in the save either besides unlocking outposts and shooting a massive, massive, red deer
@low cosmos Yes, fix for the mission in the update but as for walking slow, it looks like your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Sorry.
How do I turn a legendary gold into a diamond?
is there a way to please the scoring algorithm?
Photoshop
I can't seem to get a diamond
Is there a hotkey to take the rifle scope off and on
press mouse wheel
on the misson shot for shot the final target wont appear ?
Question, new icon on HUD for determining wind? Looks like an ‘ r1’ button pictured in the icon?? What am I looking at and what does it do
What's the max view distance b3fore you can't see animals anymore ?
@stark ingot ~425 metres
@tiny grove Assuming that's an active skill you unlocked and activated, that's just displaying the button to use the skill, if you're playing mouse & keyboard it's probably thinking you're using controller since you have one plugged in, and showing the R1 button from that instead.
have u activated it
yes it lets me zero from 75 150 just not 300 =/
and i tried resetting my talents and it worked for that game but as soon as a closed game when i came back it was broke again and would only let me go to 150 =/
u have to left click on the range icon to activate it, and it works on the scopes that support it. have u tried another weapon like the cross-bow
ya that's not the issue =/
What is the trophy rating based off of for Mulies? Is it suppose to be weight?
It should be antler size like the rest of the antlered animals but something seems off. Way off 😛
I was gonna say, if the deer that scored 300-400 in the game, then the few i got in real life are easy 500+ 😂
does anyone know how to fix my zeroing will not let me go to 300 only 150 even tho iv got 2 point into it?
I've had most luck finding reindeer along the west/north-west, and along the north coast on the eastern side of the map
lol iv got no idea the caller should work on them no?
Look around lakes in those areas and you should find some, also clearings in the areas between lakes
last time i went looking i kept finding moose at reindeer need spots and reindeer at moose need spots
i think i need a new gun to hunt them as well
243 works fine on them
ive been using the 270 for a while
u just gotta aim for spine or heart/lunges
I use the 270 on them too
ya should be easy than
Yo, just wondering if someone could help me with some graphics issues
What problem are you having?
I have really bad graphics, it's a bit hard to explain, but i have everything on ultra (Except AA which i turned off) but i still get some very blurry and grainy graphics (not on the gun and hands) especially in the vegetation. Most the vegetation is already very "twitchy" when i move my character
Could you take some screenshots of it?
hmm
I'm not really sure what could be causing the issue, do the textures look like you'd expect on different settings? Try setting it to high perhaps?
i have it on ultra right now
the textures are all nice
its the noise thats the problem, it looks kinda like ISO noise
I dont think you can see it in that video, cause the quality of streamable
ill try upload to yt
@tropic stump if you let that load fully, or download it, then you should be able to see what im talking about
yeah I think I see what you mean now, though I don't know how you could fix it, if you even can
It's really annoying, the game is literally unplayable for me, it's almost physically hurts my eyes to look at the vegetation for more than 30 min
And vegetation is everywhere in this game
does anyone know how to fix my zeroing will not let me go to 300 only 150 even tho iv got 2 point into it?
Can anybody help me make sense of the following: “When you host a multiplayer game and guest players discover a need zone, this is currently not saved in your own single player game. The host (i.e. you) has to discover another need zone in order for the guest found need zones to be saved.”
It is from the 14th dec steam announcement which i overlooked.. i have seen the problem of need zones i found on multiplayer not appearing on my own map.. and i was surprised to see the host’s need zones when joining.. but the above wording isn’t great can someone elaborate?
If you host a game and a player that joins the game finds a need zone, you as the host do not see that need zone until you yourself find it
Aha I thought so.. and do you have any idea about my other remarks then?
If I find need zones on someone’s map they don’t appear on my own map like they did before
Oh sorry, rather the need zones they find don't get saved in your own single player game*
That was always the case? Right?
I'm honestly not sure, that announcement is confusing me too now 😛
Glad I’m not alone, Thanks 😉
But stacking need zones is not working anymore and I’m in detective mode right now 😄
So if you discover anything
And did you see that when you join someone elses’s map you can see their zones right off the bat? Or at least i see some zones that are not mine and others see it too
That's probably what they're referring to in the announcement then
I'd expect the next patch to have some fix or clarification on that
Thanks for the help Magnus! We’ll keep looking out then
Does the scent elim last for 120 minutes IRL or 120 minutes in game?!?!
12o real I think but I'm not sure
Is there a weight chart for the parque fernando animals available somewhere?
Steam guides might be updated by now. That's probably the best place to check
Does anyone else experience a bug where you buy one type of ammo (for example .270) and getting another type (for example 30-30)
I disabled themission system right off the bat and unlocked all outposts and lookouts before I enabled it again xD now i cant finish the very firstmission lol
What do i do?
Is there a part of the save i could replace with a file from before i unlocked all of the outposts? Don’t mind unlocking them again
Back up your save
Make a new save
Transfer the map files from the new save to your old save
Put your old save back in the folder
Thanks @sturdy coral which files would you think i need? The map files aren’t stored separately are they?
I do also have a backup save from just when the reserve was released so I can use that to get the files i need
That would be your reserve world data, I believe
I’ll have a look in a bit, Thanks!
Best of luck!
@sturdy coral it seems to not be the reserve world data and also not the regions folder
i have a picture of my latest changed save files.. the ones that were changed during the last few days. dunno where i can post that
could it be: 'fog of war data'?
hmm fog of war doesn't affect the outposts and lookouts also
codex_seen_status?
Not too sure
