he died\

#

but ya didnt claim him so he should be back alive where you shot him

jade trail
#

Thats not too bad. He was a big whitetail but just under diamond i think.

#

Ive heard that when using tents, you should place them a certain distance away from your spots. Was it 150 or 100m ?

shrewd hare
#

150 - 200m

#

I'd put 200m just to be safe

glass trellis
#

Ok

jagged lion
#

@glass trellis I place them 150-200m away but always travel in crouched. That doesn't seem to spook animals.

Anyone can help me on console

rustic raven
#

with what

dull cove
#

I want to get rifle points

#

Xbox

hollow python
#

Kill more animals @dull cove

frosty sage
#

go to rathenfeld and go to southwest. find a herd of european bison. shoot them, follow their tracks. they are slower than you alot are in a herd and they give alot of rifle score

shrewd patrol
#

Anyone have any ideas on the new clue on content update. matt did not really didn't give us nothing today. said it was cryptic and obscure and not even a map to narrow our search. i am not going to head out and search a week for something obscure

bitter swift
#

what's the usual drink zone times for mule deer?

last hemlock
#

Anyone have any tips for cinnamon teals? I can't get them to come to my call, and when I get close they fly away. I have decoys down but nothing is working. I have the goose layout blind but not the other dlc

bitter swift
#

@last hemlock teals don't fly around the map like mallards do currently, I think it's a bug because when you spook them they just fly out of the map and only return to their spot when you are out of render range.

last hemlock
#

That is exactly what i am seeing every time i go to water. It's very frustrating.

bitter swift
#

These are the highest population elk spots that I recommend on Layton.
Drinking zones are mostly in the red areas shown between 5:30am and 9:00am

remote monolith
#

pretty accurate. although ive never seen any animal around the highlake.

glass trellis
#

Now i know where my lvl 5 probably came from, thanks !

bitter swift
#

I've seen elk herds at highlake during their drinking zone times, you gotta look hard though because they drink from behind the trees

glass trellis
#

Can confirm they are there, had one run at me out of the lake

@bitter swift
Where to find all maps in high resolution?

rustic raven
#

press m

bitter swift
#

You can find them on the internet

upper portal
#

@bitter swift where? i cant find on internet

bitter swift
#

just google call of the wild maps..

safe aurora
#

@Lydia of Death#1321 its bugged. ..i would like feedback from devs about this but so far there is none

wicked moat
#

Is it that when you place the tent you spook wildlife in the 200/250m radius or is it when you use the tent that you do so? i.e. using it as a fast travel point, advancing time, etc?

shrewd hare
#

You'll spook in both cases I think

wicked moat
#

Ah, that makes sense.

cyan axle
#

both cases definitely, Ormy is right

vernal bolt
#

@remote oak how have i not seen your videos i appologize and im subbed now

remote oak
#

All good and thanks!

compact knot
#

Haven't trouble finding jack rabbits want to settle down in a blind and just keep picking them off? Know and good open spots for them?

#

Having*

#

Or even scrub hares but would like an open field kinda thing

shrewd hare
glass trellis
#

So the only way a animal can spook when you travel is that it immediately sees you ?

shrewd hare
#

So that's neat

#

Yea

#

Or smell

glass trellis
#

About that, if I for example use an Elk Scent, will I be able to follow elks without them scaring because of smell if the wind is blowing against my back ?

shrewd hare
#

If you use elk scent they will come to the spot where you sprayed the scent. You want to move to side from that so they don't smell you. shameless plug I have made a video about scents before if you want to see 🙂

glass trellis
#

Ill take a look 😄 I thought the scent applied to myself so I was just carelessly chasing them with the wind xD

shrewd hare
#

lmao that would be something 😄 "Day 235. They still think I'm an elk"

glass trellis

"The gun spooks them, so I have taken to strangling them in their sleep. So far, two diamonds."

cyan axle
#

@shrewd hare heck, I might be placing my tents too close to zones then hahaha - they always run the moment I travel in

grim skiff
#

Any idea where the red deer in Bondorf have gone? Used to see them all the time at the lake. Now they are gone.

can anyone help me with where to shoot water buffalo for a brain shot? got a legendary facing me right now

right at the base of the horns

steep geyser
#

i can't find any animals pls help. i follow the tracks but leads me to nowhere

vernal bolt
#

walk around and follow the tracks till you come across a resting or feeding or drinking zone then figure out what time they will be there and set it up to where you can get there a little while earlier then just wait till all the animals get there and pick out which one you want @steep geyser

steep geyser

@everyone. By using information from Zaggidk's graph and some personal free hand drawing skills, I have made this for any help that might be needed in the hunt for the diamonds. I will be putting this in the #🖼️︴fan-art chat as well. If you would like for me to make more of these let me know. I won't make any more of these if TreeKiwi or any other roles higher than myself ask me not to do so ( I will be happy to take these pictures down if anyone is unhappy with this ) But if i have confirmation from anyone, I'd be glad to do so. Thanks and happy hunting.

heavy dome
#

🤔 was it really worth trying to pong everyone for that

dire karma
#

But... we have the spreadsheets for that

#

Why do I need to keep track of a collection of drawings when I can just open a spreadsheet or a webpage that has everything on it lol

#

Seems pointless tbh

#

@fierce spear

heavy dome
#

^ and that

#

Also, I don't think the .470 gives integrity on moose

dire karma
#

It definitely does not lol

fierce spear
#

im just going with what Zaggidks sheet tells me. no worries. ill take it down

dire karma
#

Its cool for like fan art but outside of that I dont think its real useful when we already have the resources we have

steep geyser
#

is there any double action revolver in the game?

#

anyone?

signal gyro
#

All single action I believe.

rustic raven
#

yea you gotta pull back the hammer

#

does it automatically though

#

you can still fire fast

signal gyro
#

Yeah

steep geyser
#

dang

#

that sucks cocking the hammer back every time you shoot

rustic raven
#

like i said you still fire fast

signal gyro
#

With auto reload enabled they all essentially become double action so...

rustic raven
#

you dont need to cock it with auto chambering off

#

right after you fire it pulls it back

signal gyro
#

auto chambering, yeah, that's the words I was looking for. 😛

steep geyser
#

ok thanks

#

btw will the devs add semiauto rifles? like AP4 LR-308?

signal gyro
#

Sorry, only they know that answer.

steep geyser
#

all groot

#

just want something that has a 308 and is a semi auto rifle

remote monolith
#

i doubt we will get a semi auto 308 as it would be too good

frosty sage
#

@steep geyser try the 45_70

acoustic lynx
#

Just wondering, did the devs happen to mention if the TS+Tp Pack will have the price reduction for gamepass players?

heavy dome
#

Do any of the dlcs have discounts for gamepass users? I thought it only applied to the actual game

torn gazelle
#

hi, can i somehow draw on map when playing multiplayer so i can show to friend my route or something?

last hemlock
#

Not possible in COTW @torn gazelle

torn gazelle
#

😦

#

thats really bad,

steep geyser
#

but it has 5rounds instead of 10

#

so maybe they can add this with 10 round mag?
for the call of the wild

bitter swift
#

Yeah... No

heavy dome
#

@bitter swift why not?

steep geyser
#

they had the 223 semi automatic rifle in the classic hunter

#

i wouldn't be surprise if they did add this gun

heavy dome
#

I still don't get why the community is so opposed to adding semi autos

bitter swift
#

It removes so much skill needed in the game, it's already easy enough to down multiple animals with the mosin which is bolt action.

heavy dome
#

Then don't use it?

slow ruin
#

anybody know a good powerful rifle to get? all i have is the starter and i dont have dlc

bitter swift
#

Just going around mowing down herds with a semi auto would make the game bland and multiplayer would be broken

#

Open your map up so people can destroy it with hunting pressure

heavy dome
#

@slow ruin I mean, it depends on the animals your hunting

slow ruin
#

i like to hunt moose elk and bear

steep geyser
#

what about the .22 rifle?

heavy dome
#

@bitter swift that can happen without semi autos, and that's a risk you take with hosting multiplayer

steep geyser
#

the .22 it a semi auto

#

so...

bitter swift
#

That thing can hardly kill a goose

dire karma
#

Yes it can

steep geyser
#

i don't see a problem adding another semi

heavy dome
#

@bitter swift what?

bitter swift
#

If they added another semi it shouldn't go above 7mm in calibre

heavy dome
#

It gets 100% qk as long as you hit them, no matter where

slow ruin
#

is there a way to remove hunting pressure also?

heavy dome
#

Kill animals in other areas

#

It'll disappear as you hunt in other areas

slow ruin
#

ok thanks

heavy dome
#

@slow ruin forgot about your first question, the 7mm will be the largest that can drop those 3 with integrity

slow ruin
#

how much is that 3600 ?

#

36000

heavy dome
#

Seems vaguely familiar, so i think

slow ruin
#

ok i have 27000 so im close

heavy dome
#

Thats if you just want one rifle for those 3, i usually like the 338 for moose and elk, and either the 7mm or 45-70 for bear

slow ruin
#

its annoying hunting by myself and having to track down shot animals for miles to get another shot

heavy dome
#

If you need to track for miles, youre doing something wrong

slow ruin
#

i aim for lung shots but most times i dont get enough penetration

#

because im far away

heavy dome
#

Then get closer. What ammo and rifle are you using

slow ruin
#

also ive been getting a bug where i cant collect my harvests they are just stuck on the ground

#

i still use the starter rifle with soft tip bulletts 😢

heavy dome
#

Get the polymer tipped rounds, theyre much better

slow ruin
#

ok i will go buy some to try

#

when i get close i just use my bow most times

heavy dome
#

Still wont be able to get double lung on a moose, not sure about elk, but itll help with deer and bear

slow ruin
#

wait you can double lung

heavy dome
#

Hm?

slow ruin
#

i didnt know that was possibl

heavy dome
#

🤔

slow ruin
#

does that drop them instantly /

#

?

heavy dome
#

Not usually, but will usually still get full qk

slow ruin
#

dang i rarely get that

heavy dome
#

Watch flinter's or zaggi's (cant remember who made it) layton lake loadout video

#

It goes over all the best shot placements

slow ruin
#

ok i just double lug shot a moose with two vital hits but i cant track it

#

i need to upgrade ym tracking skills

heavy dome
#

How do you know you double lung shot him?

slow ruin
#

i aimed for lungs and got two vital hits

dire karma
#

How did you get 2 vital hits unless you shot it twice

slow ruin
#

i shot it twice

dire karma
#

A double lung shot counts as one hit

#

Oh ok

slow ruin
#

the blood stains are inches apart

heavy dome
#

Was probably just a single lung, but he should be down anyway

slow ruin
#

he died the map is pink

#

i just cant find him his tracks dissapear

#

i actually cant find him

#

i found him but i have the bug where i cant harvest

heavy dome
#

No button showing up at all?

slow ruin
#

its there but when i hit x (xbox) it doesnt do anything

#

this is the 4th kill in a ro it has happened ive rrestarted twice

heavy dome
#

Hmm, ive never had that happen

#

Sure its not actually the "view track" or whatever? Sometimes when they fall directly over one of their tracks it can be weird to pick up

slow ruin
#

yes it says confirm trophy

#

ok i left shot anohter animal came back and it let me collect

#

i bought the 270 to try out

steep geyser
#

where's a hotspot for finding animals in layton?

slow ruin
#

what animals?

#

moose bear ducks along thee river

#

elk top right corner

steep geyser
#

oh

slow ruin
#

coyote ive found alot in mountains

steep geyser
#

ok i'm kind of new to the game

slow ruin
#

what platform?

#

if xbox i can show you my spots for all of those

steep geyser
#

pc

slow ruin
#

oh yah just look for anyywhere there is crossings on the river and watch them

steep geyser
#

well i find tracks and i follow them but it leads me to nowhere

#

😦

slow ruin
#

i would follow tracks unless they are recent or youve shot it

#

i just predict where they will go or find need zones

steep geyser
#

huh

#

most tracks are recent but it leads to nowhere

slow ruin
#

you have to watch wind and your noise and visibility

#

it is a pain

steep geyser
#

i do

#

i prone when i'm stalking

#

or tracking

slow ruin
#

bigger animals are easier for me to track just because i can spot them with binoculars

steep geyser
#

oh

slow ruin
#

i just walk along the river until i see a moose usually

steep geyser
#

huh i should do that

slow ruin
#

the river is loaded with bear and moose

#

tons of need zones

steep geyser
#

wait bears?

#

i only have Solokhin MN1890 and Grelck Drilling Rifle

#

is that enough to kill a bear?

slow ruin
#

ive never heard of those guns

#

buy the 270 rifle

#

do you have call of the wild or classic?

steep geyser
#

i have call of the wild

#

it's the weapon pack 2 dlc weapons

dire karma
#

7mm is good for black bears

steep geyser
#

but i'm broke... : (

What should I do if my game keeps kicking me after 10-15 minutes of playing

last hemlock
#

By getting kicked do you mean crashing to desktop @last hemlock ? If yes, are you playing on Layton Lakes? If that is also a yes then it's an issue many people are experiencing. This will be fixed June 3rd once the patch gets released.

Ya it is. Thanks @last hemlock

Can someone help me identify that bird you hear in vurhonga? I would like to have it as message sound for my phone :D

@strong hearth possibly the kookaburra

strong hearth

i dont think thats it

bitter swift
#

I'd know if it was a kookaburra

And I'd shame the Devs for putting it in africa

steep geyser

yeah i agree. since kookaburra is only in Australia

trust me on that guys

Annoying lil shits keep waking me up in the morning

steep geyser

really? lol

#

once a kookaburra crashed into my classroom and gave everyone a fright. lol

The kookaburra is a kingfisher, there is a type of kingfisher in Africa. Idk the name though.

I actually looked for something like this, thank you :)

frosty needle
#

Can someone help me on wat the distance of sorts of an animals is so i dont walk to close

#

And how far you can run or something before they hear you

quick umbra
#

on your bike, it's about 300m. On foot, sprinting, it's probably 150-200

#

walking it's probably 75-100

#

and crouched without sprint is like 5m.

upper portal
#

ATV 3 red - 300m
2 red - 150-175m
1 red - 125-150m - Most animals fear this.
Bear/buffalo fear 3 white - 125-150m
fox/coyot/lynx/puma fear 2 white - 125-150m
jump 3 red - 100+- m
Whistling 3 red - <50+- m - fear, <100+- m - alarmed

slim needle
#

What do y’all think buy the .270 or save more and get the 7mm

sharp matrix
#

up to you, but i'd get the .270

#

makes it way easier to get the money back to get the 7mm anyway since you can take down larger animals easier

slim needle
#

Okay thank you, does it take down elk and moose very well?

rustic raven
#

you can take down moose and elk just fine with it if you aim for the brain/heart @slim needle

dusk hound
#

hi. Got the game on sale and have about 3 days of play on it with my PS4. Any decent starter guides that are relevant? Seems some things changed somewhat recently and im not sure what might be relevant info still?

dusk hound
#

also curious on how far you could actually see an animal? sometimes i get to a vantage point and will glance out to around 400-500m and i feel like i'm wasting my time looking that far out

last hemlock
#

400 meters is the render limit for Animals @dusk hound As for starter guides and what is still relevant, I'd suggest looking up Flinter on youtube he has some good stuff for beginners on there. Now the only thing that really isn't relevant advice anymore, which you might hear in older videos is the ''go for spine shots'' idea, that used to be the case but is no longer relevant. Use the right caliber/grain on the right animal and go for heart/double-lung shots.

proud mist
#

@slim needle Get the DLC for the solokhin instead if possible, practically better than the .270 in every way

#

7mm... better for reindeer, red deer, black bear and wildebeest, but thats where its usefulness stops really

#

Meanwhile the solokhin works all the way from coyotes and foxes to wild boar

restive bough
#

is that the mosin

proud mist
#

Yep

restive bough
#

I use the mosin and the 7mm for everything

sharp matrix
#

Same

#

7mm is pretty much in every loadout except vurhonga

frosty needle
#

Wat should i hunt with 270. Wear should i shoot

proud mist
#

Lungshots are reccomended as usual. As for what you can hunt with it, I usually wouldnt go higher than wild boar personally, and you cant go lower than kudu I believe?

#

Okay, so, if you already have a 7mm, and can carry it, all .270 is really good for is kudu, WT, warthog and boars

#

And at that point you may as well be using the solokhin

glass trellis
#

I was actually sceptical of the solokhin first but now, my .243 and .270 might be stashes for a long long while

sharp matrix
#

I still use my 270 for pigs sometimes

bitter swift
#

I use the mosin for pretty much everything under a red deer, the hand of stalin guides your shots.

Can't escape russian bias, even in thehunter

Whats the max weight for a blacktail ?

#

Please dont tell me it's 95kg

shrewd hare
#

I think so

glass trellis
#

:(

shrewd hare
#

Not 100% sure tho

glass trellis
#

I mean

#

95kg and 198.2 trophy rating will give you a 997 scoring one

#

So it probably is

proud mist
#

@bitter swift @sharp matrix 100% pure stalinium for sure

last hemlock
#

Can the 270 get full integrity on fallow deer ? Every single one I shoot with double lungs I get 0

spare oasis
#

@last hemlock No it can't. 270 is a class 2.5, for Boar and Whitetail (and up). Fallow are class 2.

proud mist
#

Which is funny because one of the missions require you to shoot a fallow with a .270

#

Think there's one for red fox as well

last hemlock
#

Thanks guys now I know not to use it lol for fallow deer bummer

Is there a site where I can see all the missions

#

What's a good way to boost rifle skill? Getting tired of my character having the breath capacity of an asthmatic smoker and the stability of a parkinsons patient

last hemlock
#

You have to level up in order to gain skill and perk points

dusk hound
#

Any good way to do that easily?

#

Or just play the game

heavy dome
#

Just playing the game normally I find you level up fairly fast tbh

storm gate
#

Shoot everything that moves

dusk hound
#

I stacked up 300 of the free .243 ammo and just shoot everything that i can get a decent shot on so far

#

I managed to get a clean one shot on a fox at 300yds and finished off a previously wo7nded fallow deer in the same spot 5min later

#

Set up a blind and jumped on top of it and laid prone to get as clean a shot possible

last hemlock
#

You may want to invest into bow, you can kill absolutely a lot of animals in one place :) I often go to open servers and look for a pretty big herd, then do a little massacre xD

dusk hound
#

I was enjoying those 300yd shots because of them not noticing the bullets somehow

#

Was pretty funny

#

When i get enough rifle skill i will see about that bow

#

Really wanna get that zero skill. Seems useful for a crossbow. I got the crosspoint one with the heavy draw

sharp matrix
#

Missions and the hunt club can help a lot

dusk hound
#

I've been hitting the missions in that EU reserve. Got lucky with a red deer walking right up to me and i gave it 5 shots of the .243 and it still didn't drop for a few mins

sharp matrix
#

Yeah you need larger guns to reliably take one down

#

Like 270 or 7mm

clever bear
#

The totally-not-a-mosin-but-totally-a-mosin also works well on reds.

rustic raven
#

270 in the heart/brain will work

#

same with the mosin

#

270 should be able to do double lung if youre close

heavy dome
#

Zeroing isn't really that helpful for the crossbow, it has the different ranges marked on the scope anyway

dusk hound
#

They are odd ranges tho. I would like the first dot to be a bit further than point blank so i don't have to aim up as much for close shots

steep geyser
#

hey will head shot work?

rustic raven
#

wdym by that

#

like if you shoot any animal in the head will it die

sharp matrix
#

You have yo hit the brain

#

If not it's a long tracking job

#

And animals move their head a lot so brain shots aren't reliable at all

rustic raven
#

^

steep geyser
#

huh you sure?

#

i did get multiple kills with shooting the animals in the head

#

either that or i got lucky

frosty needle
#

Can someone look at a video and please tell me how zeroing works?

sharp matrix
#

You got lucky

#

I've seen a lot of people mess up animals because they move their head at the last second lol

steep geyser
#

dang

heavy dome
#

@dusk hound they're the same ranges as the zeroing distance, no?

dusk hound
#

i played with the .243 rifle at the range in the EU reserve and it seems to some how shoot an impossible near flat line out to about 200m then suddenly starts dropping

#

im not sure what the ballistics in this game are

storm gate
#

That’s without zeroing yea

dusk hound
#

the game seems to not understand sight/bore axis because i started at 50m and got a dead on hit so i thought i should shoot high at 100m but it was also dead on and was dead on all the way to 200m

#

confused me when i did that

#

confirmed it when i went for a point blank shot on a target from touching distance and it was dead on instead of slightly low due to the fact the scope is higher than the barrel

#

not many games simulate that anyways so whatever i guess

#

Can somebody help me out with the .270? Somehow I don't get the ethical bonus when hunting blacktails, but the game says, it's the fitting weapon class for it

proud mist
#

@low oasis It isnt

#

Sec, Imma see if I can find the integrity guide...

#

Basically the ingame system is bad

last hemlock
proud mist
#

Prefer the Steam guide tbh. Updated and way easier to navigate

#

Also lets you favorite and pull it up whenever you want ingame :v

low oasis
#

@proud mist @last hemlock thx you two, I was wondering, because I tried everything, from different distances and ammo types and it was always 0 ethical bonus

proud mist
#

I always see integrity as more of a... how "whole" the carcass is personally, never saw where "ethical" came from
But yeh, nw at all, and good luck with the hunts ^^

low oasis
#

@proud mist I think it's a translation thing, in german it's "Ethikbonus", always understood it like in real life, don't use artillery on sparrows, but also don't throw pepples at bisons, tradeoff between most intact carcass, but also least harm to animal

#

But, I don't have a clue, what's best fitting for American wildlife, especially with ammo types like right now in the game, I don't have a good feeling what's good, because I don't use them irl

last hemlock
#

I don't know how true it is, it's only my guess, but I noticed that animals, which didn't die quickly, would have lower integrity bonus

#

Or maybe I just shot deers with birdshot and didn't notice it, who knows 😄

lawl, yeah nah, slow kills ingame really doesnt do a thing aside from having an impact on the quick kill bonus, if you shoot multiple times or with a gun thats too big for the animal however the integrity drops :v

And yeah, it's a... same word for two different things sort of deal

#

You've got "moral integrity" and "structural integrity"

dusk hound
#

so what's a good way to stack up a bunch of cash? i don't own any of the DLC maps and im still a lvl9 with a basic .243 and the .270 it gave for free

rustic raven
#

kill everything

last hemlock
#

@dusk hound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BJpVFVDMq0 I think this will be helpful. 😃 And you know, if you don't have any DLC you can derp around muliplayer servers, many of them have sets for ducks or geese (I think I wrote it wrong lol)

dusk hound
#

i know about joining maps but that's not very reliable because most times so far the host will leave in under an hour

#

and then the server closes out

last hemlock
#

@dusk hound Do you have or can affor geese caller? I can set up a server for you if you're willing to hunt right now, overall I care about hunter pressure on my own maps, but geese are only exception xD I have decoys and this lying tent 😛

dire karma
#

The server doesnt close as long as there are still people on the map

#

The host has to kick everyone out and then leave in order for the server to close entirely

dusk hound
#

im on ps4 if that matters

#

and i dont have that caller

last hemlock
#

oh, Im pc player 😦

dusk hound
#

only have about 9k cash right now too iirc

dire karma
#

Platform doesnt matter, thats just the way it works

dusk hound
#

@dire karma the server closes itself out if the host leaves tho

#

at least on ps4

#

had it happen a few times

#

it pops up saying something i forget what but that it gives you 20min to finish up

dire karma
#

Oh thats different then, I didnt know that

last hemlock
#

If none of left players own the DLC map, it gives you ~15 min. to end

dire karma
#

On PC its different then

#

Sorry

dusk hound
#

live a and learn

dire karma
#

I didnt know it did that to people that dont own DLC maps

#

But I have all the maps so thats probably why

dusk hound
#

i bought the game on sale for $17 which was only the base content and then put $8 on top for the lodge and crosspoint weapon pack

#

will prob piece out the DLC over time one after another. the total cost of each one totals up to the complete version of the game so it cost the same buying them all separate or in the 2019 version with all of it bundled

glass trellis
#

What track colors do you guys recommend for Hirschfelden ?

heavy dome
#

I just use the standard cyan one on all my maps

#

Except medved, on medved I use yellow and pink I think

glass trellis
#

The only color I could think of helping with Hirschfelden is a deep purple but then Id still need a second colour

clever bear
#

I use the default blue and white in Hirschfelden to contrast the area's warm hues.

dusk hound
#

@glass trellis
Active tracks -Red
Inactive tracks - white/grey

#

I found that to make things very easy to see and tell apart from a which one you're trying to track

#

Went from stopping on each track to confirm to pretty much sprinting through every track no stops

When I'm playing on my solo server i'll be fine and I'll be a little bit laggy but after 15-20 minutes my screen will stop and lag and the sound will bug out and it'll bring me right back to my Xbox home screen.

What's everyone's opinion on the pumping iron perk? I feel it is unnecessary?

shrewd hare

It increases bows penetration and power a lot so I'd say it's necessary if you use bows. Really good one.

#

@spare oasis I've never felt limited by the penetration without the pumping iron perk, I'd say it's unnecessary as well

spare oasis
#

@heavy dome I'm trialing it now. It's not the damage or penetration I want. I find the added speed of the arrow ignores the wind speed somewhat.

Does it increase speed as well?

It does.

It shouldnt be the hard drive

I run COTW from a hard drive and its fine

i have ran the game on a pc with way lower specs

vernal bolt

yeah ik i was just curious if it was full and not allowing the game to start up

Something in your PC doesnt seem to like COTW

what would that be because i made it so it by passes my fire wall

should i trust this website

Maybe your antivirus is conflicting with it

yeah whatever antivirus you have

i dont run any antivirus on my computer

how would i allow it to bypass windows defender

@signal gyro

We need to determine what all Anti-virus programs you're running.

vagrant dagger
#

defult windows

#

its off

#

do i gotta try to reinstall ms visual C++

signal gyro
#

Wouldn't hurt.

vagrant dagger
#

do u got a link

#

and know what file it is in do delete it

dire karma
#

What is ms visual C++

vagrant dagger
#

its a program

dire karma
#

Obviously lol

#

A program for what is what I was asking

vagrant dagger
#

idk know exactly but i installed it

#

@signal gyro didn't work

#

what next

signal gyro
vagrant dagger
#

did that

#

some sort of av is still active i can tell

signal gyro
#

If you bought your PC pre-built the manufacturer should list what was installed.

vagrant dagger
signal gyro
#

Wouldn't hurt to try. Just remember, some changes take a restart to become effective and if the culprit already removed files you may need to run an integrity check again.

vagrant dagger
#

ok ima restart my pc

#

Ok I disabled that stuff

#

In the bottom right corner it piped up that some think was blocking the hunter from making changes

#

Ok I think that I turnered it all off hopefully

#

@signal gyro verifying files

signal gyro
#

Crossing my fingers for ya.

vagrant dagger
#

i turned off controlled files

#

which i think that the game got into there

#

i think that u and one other guy are the only two people who have told me to disable anti virus

signal gyro
#

AV can be good if someone careless is using the PC but if you know not to go to naughty sites and don't download questionable stuff, they can be more of a pain then they are worth. They are designed to block bad stuff but in order to be super effective they often block good stuff in the process.

vagrant dagger
#

still not responding

signal gyro
#

Do you have only the one HDD installed?

vagrant dagger
#

yea

signal gyro
#

Hmm

#

Just so I'm on the same page. When you start the game you get the connection message and task manager shows the game as "Not responding"?

vagrant dagger
#

yep

signal gyro
#

All drivers up to date? Mostly GPU.

vagrant dagger
#

yep ill check again

#

brb

signal gyro
#

OK

vagrant dagger
#

up to date

signal gyro
#

One other thing we can try. Resetting the network adapter.

  1. Click the Search icon (magnifying glass) in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and type "cmd" into the search bar.

  2. You'll see the Command Prompt app as the best match at the top of the list. Right-click on it and select Run as administrator. Depending on your computer settings, you may be asked to provide an administrator password before you can continue.

  3. A black box with a flashing cursor will open; this is the Command Prompt. Type “netsh winsock reset” and then hit the Enter key on your keyboard.

  4. Wait for the Command Prompt to run through the reset. Once it’s complete, you’ll see the message “Winsock reset completed successfully”.

  5. Restart PC.

vagrant dagger
#

ok gonna reset

#

Just curious what that does

#

@signal gyro pc has restarted now what

signal gyro
#

Just refreshes the network settings basically.

#

Try launching the game.

vagrant dagger
#

Nope

signal gyro
#

Sorry, not sure what else to try really. Seems like we've covered most of it.

vagrant dagger
#

That’s what happens

#

Really sad bc this was my favorite game

signal gyro
#

Do you happen to have any other controllers connected to the PC?

vagrant dagger
#

No

#

Y

signal gyro
#

Ok. I know that can sometimes cause issues but normally you just get a Black screen when it happens.

vagrant dagger
#

Could it be screen reflection

signal gyro
#

I have also seen windows audio settings cause an issue but since the games was working and now it not unless you changed any audio settings it's probably not that.

vagrant dagger
#

No changes

signal gyro
#

I don't think. The error is pointing to some type of network issue.

#

One sec, I may have something to try.

vagrant dagger
#

Ok

signal gyro
#

I'm trying to find if there is a way to disable the Hunt Club Beta from within the settings file. I don't see anything yet though.

vagrant dagger
#

i don't even know what that is

signal gyro
#

The Hunt Club Beta is most likely what is trying to connect. I thought if we could disable it through a setting we could maybe get around it. You can turn it off from within game but.... you can't get to the menu so....

vagrant dagger
#

Any way u could remotely kick me out

signal gyro
#

No, sorry

vagrant dagger
#

The thing is I never did the hunt club beta thing

signal gyro
#

It's somewhat automatic. For example: The new Trophy Lodges rely on it.

vagrant dagger
signal gyro
#

Different thing. Hunt Club is something in-game. It's just called Hunt Club Beta because it's still in development.

vagrant dagger
#

Ok

#

So basically your saying I’m not gonna be able to get it to work

dire karma
#

Im sure theres a way to fix it

#

We just dont know what it is

#

You might have to take it to a professional

vagrant dagger
#

Picsoul thinks that it is the hunt club thing

dire karma
#

Yeah but how are you gonna get to it if you cant boot your game?

vagrant dagger
#

Exactly

dire karma
#

So you might have to take it to a professional who can properly diagnose the issue and fix it

signal gyro
#

Yeah, waiting for Support may be the only option at this point. Just trying things I've seen work in the past. This seems to be a special case though and not the norm.

dire karma
#

Because theres only so much a couple of strangers on the internet are going to be able to do

vagrant dagger
#

Ok so I gotta wait 3 days

#

Pretty much

signal gyro
#

I have helped dozens of players fix things so I thought it was worth a shot. 😃

vagrant dagger
#

It’s fine just very sad

signal gyro
#

I hear you. Frustrated I couldn't help.

dire karma
#

Yeah but without being able to see whats going on firsthand and since this seems like an individual issue it would be very difficult

#

Thats what I mean

vagrant dagger
#

I could screen share it

signal gyro
#

I could try loading your save if you want to bother with zipping it up?

vagrant dagger
#

How would one go about doing that

#

At this point I’m willing to do almost any thing

dire karma
#

Thats not a bad idea actually

#

If it boots on his PC and not yours that might help narrow down what the issue is

signal gyro
#

Share the files found at: "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Avalanche Studios\theHunter Call of the Wild\Saves"

You can share them using a site like. https://wetransfer.com/

#

I've fixed a few broken saves doing this but your issue seems different so no promises. 😃

vagrant dagger
#

What file do I gotta send

signal gyro
#

The complete "Saves" folder preferably.

vagrant dagger
#

What is it called though

signal gyro
#

Saves

vagrant dagger
#

I don’t see a saves folder

dire karma
#

He posted how to find them

signal gyro
#

Do you see the other folders?

dire karma
#

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Avalanche Studios\theHunter Call of the Wild\Saves

#

Go folder by folder

#

In that order

signal gyro
#

Yep

vagrant dagger
#

There is nothing in my saved doc

#

My documents

signal gyro
#

No Avalanche Studios folder in Documents?

dire karma
#

Oh wait his game is on a HD

#

Not an SSD

signal gyro
#

Should be the same location I would think.

dire karma
#

Oh yeah youre right

#

Lol

#

I have 2 drives so I forgot about that

vagrant dagger
#

Nope

signal gyro
#

@vagrant dagger The game has run in the past, right? If so, there should be something there. If not, something deleted it and may be the cause of the problem.

#

BRB

vagrant dagger
#

never successfully ran

dire karma
#

It used to run on his old PC

vagrant dagger
#

#

and it don't work on that pc either

#

vagrant dagger
#

ok

signal gyro
#

I see. I thought it was working on this PC and stop. My bad.

vagrant dagger
#

what step is next

#

should i try wire less internet

signal gyro
#

That takes me back to it possibly being a driver issue then. I hate to admit defeat but like Mystress said, you may have to wait for the pros. I'm out of ideas pretty much.

#

Anything is worth trying. 😃

#

any way i can get a hold of a dev today

@abstract wind Set up in areas with large numbers of animals and kill LOTS. Basically kill everything. Just hunt. Tree stand DLC can help reduce hunting pressure. Several tents and stands in areas with large numbers of ducks, rabbits, and deer can get you leveled rather quickly.

#

So I'm just curious but has anybody recorded the species affected by the Dazed and Confused/Who's Deer traits?

spare oasis
#

@sturdy coral I've struggled with it.

#

@sturdy coral Bison, Moose and Boar respond to nothing other than their own. Fallow respond to Boar, Reindeer respond to Moose, Elk to grunt, Brown Bear to antler rattler, Roe Deer to Red Deer, Lynx to Boar.

I know jack rabbit is grunt

#

Yes, I was just typing that.

#

I got the perk for bison but they won't listen, I had only one success on bison with the red deer.

#

From what I've experienced, every animal has a secondary caller, which isn't their own. Bison just ignore everything which is annoying because they're why I got the perk.

#

I thought any caller could potentially attract any animal, this is DEFINITELY not the case.

What are you guy's opinions on adding varying claw sizes and lengths to the upcoming Grizzly Bears according to their levels? The higher the level the bigger the claws to add some identifying feature to tell the difference between the sizes of them. I think this could be implemented into animals such as the Lions and Pumas also. Let me know what you think! 😃

rustic raven
#

are they doing that or are you saying it would be cool if they did

grim skiff
#

@sullen flare Longer claws on grizzly would be cool. However, in most situations you won’t see the claws on a lion or puma until it’s too late- most of the time they are retracted. Also, this may be better suited for general discussion rather than help and tips.

I put it in both, my apologies.

Yo, anyone happen to know why my game crashes everytime I try to go to the last outpost in Vurhonga Plateau? The one closest to the lookout point.

Happened 3 times in a row when I got somewhat close so it doesn't seem like it's random.

Jk whats going on?

#

I've always wondered, does anyone know if the animals in the game get better antlers over time(grow) say I find a little button buck and leave it be, will it grow? or is just set as that size until it's shot?

heavy dome
#

I believe it stays the same until you shoot it and it respawns

#

bummer 😦 that would be a cool incentive to leave the younger animals alone

Anyone know what animals is in the "TruRACS" system? Sorry for my terrible english though.

#

@silver niche Currently the Whitetail, Blacktail and Elk have the TruRAC system implemented. The Caribou on the soon to be released Yukon Valley map will also have TruRACs.

@nocturne wagon

Animals will smell you before they see or hear you. Keep the wide part of your scent cone, found on your compass, pointed away from the game. If the wind changes, flank around until it's back in your face. Scent eliminator lasts for two in-game hours (forty minutes IRL) and reduces the distance animals will scent you.

Animal hearing is very keen and varies by species and weather conditions. Expore at a walking pace to minimise your noise level, and avoid blundering through bushes and trees until you've unlocked noise-cancelling perks. Even then, do so slowly. When nearing your prey go into a crouch, or go prone, to further quieten yourself while moving. Being stationary is being silent.

Like sound, sight is another keen animal sense to account for. Standing up on a ridgeline makes you visible for hundreds of metres, so crouch or crawl prone to crest hills. Use the bush to conceal you; move slowly through foliage to mask your outline. You'll be harder to spot while in bushes or inside hunting blinds, and a big tree trunk at your back conceals your sillhouette. Animals see movement well, so move slowly or not at all when stalking game.

nocturne wagon
#

Thankyou so much !! @clever bear last night I killed a black bear! 3rd kill and I was managing to get vital shots on everything. I will say I'm glad you responded as the wind did cause me some trouble. I'm glad the scent thing lasts so long! However I know it's not 100% effective all the time so wind still needs to be looked at.

#

All these things I'm gunna think about during my next gameplay (in about 10 mins). Thankyou so much! I'll likely be even more better and successful today :D

clever bear
#

I've since learned that scent eliminator is two in-game hours of time, which works out at forty RL minutes. I'll have to edit that info dump.

nocturne wagon
#

Aw well that's still a while! :D still great help! It's such a relaxing game as it's so slow paced. Kinda forced to slow down and stop rushing. Something I seldom do irl so it's nice to have to. I had so much fun.

Not got the stomach for hunting irl. But damn is it not interesting playing a simulator and seeing how much effort is involved. I didn't expect to do so well aim wise. Probably all the time I spent on shooter games lol

#

*damn it is interesting

#

Idk why my phone is a bell... I've also not fully woken up lol

clever bear
#

The game teaches you patience and I like that about it. Lotta games are all about hurrying up, this one needs you to slow down.

nocturne wagon
#

Indeed! Like I learnt that it's best to get eyes on. Go prone. Crouch closer. Sit and wait for them to turn to the side and stand still. Aim slowly, when animal isn't moving and you have full side view take breath in, make sure you're over vital organs and close enough to hit the area you want. Then and only then, fire. Reload if it's not already fallen and walking limpish after that shot, hit it in the lower front between the legs or anywhere besides shoulder and hind in the side. Then crouch and go to shoot sight. Find the tracks and follow(crouched of course incase it was just a flesh wound and to not spook it further. Takes longer to catch up but stops you having to keep chasing a running animal ) :D

#

Made me laugh because I built a hunting structure. I went in. I called a few times. Checked my phone irl. Next thing I know I hear branches moving around me but couldn't see a thing. After a while I realised I had 5 deer just past the tree line infront of me hahahaha. Havnt had the same luck since but was quite amusing

clever bear
#

If you think you just winged an animal, wait a little while. If your map gains a purple splotch then the animal's died and you can follow the blood trail. If not, it's likely the animal/herd will return to where you shot it and you can put the wounded beastie down with a follow-up shot.

nocturne wagon
#

Oo thankyou! I never realised that! I'll try that to. I couldn't find one yesterday for ages so I gave up haha. Now at least I can try that and increase my chances. Especially if it's near a need location to

calm dust
#

Yo, why can't I zero to 300m with the mosin despite having 2/2 zeroing? Only gives me 75/150 as options and it had 300 before I'm pretty sure

Or with any other weapon for that matter

anyone willing to help me find a level 5 mule deer? I have been hunting parque for months on my own server along with multiplayer servers and i really want one now that lodges are out before truracs effect that species. I am on PC and can use discord or headset to talk to whoever wants to help or has one on their map they don't want

#

Sadly I can't help here but if there are non on your map have you considered resetting the animals? I know some people have issues doing and I understand it if you aren't comfortable with it but it might help

tropic horizon
#

hi guys where do you recommend reads for noob?

frosty sage
#

the codex

#

is a manual for caiber and scent in the game

#

i'd say its more fun to learn game mechanics by playing the game

#

if you already know how certain animals are going to react it kind of ruins the game for you

clever bear
#

And play the missions you're offered. It's a great way to learn the basics and some journeyman-level skills.

rustic raven
#

dont use the codex

#

its outdated

shut flax
#

does anyone know if calling cinnamon teal with decoys and a blind actually works?

cursive heath
#

I sat 2hrs for ducks lastnight, decoys a blind and caller didnt even hear one @shut flax

bold escarp
#

I am pretty new, I never seem to me able to get good spots to hunt, I'm not sure how the calling mechanics work either, do I just stay still or follow tracks?

#

Some tips/help hunting would be appreciated

heavy dome
#

I usually walk till I hear a call or have a visual on the animal, then try to call them in

clever bear
#

Calls have an effective radius. Check in your inventory for that range; anything outside won't be affected when you call. Additionally, some animals are more receptive to calls than others (I find boar to be especially blasé about calls). Roe and Fallow deer are easy to lure in.

It's worth unlocking outposts to begin with. This is easiest if you have the ATV, since you can drive all over unlocking outposts and thus fast-travel. This often brings you across animal tracks and sometimes need zones.

heavy dome
#

Usually not effective to just sit and call, though you can sometimes get lucky

clever bear
#

Be mindful of the noise you make. Animals will spook and run off long before you see them if you're running around full-speed. Slow to a walk, take your time. If you hear a call, stop moving and, as Jimmy said, use your caller to try luring them.

bold escarp
#

Alright, I'm level 11, have like half of layton lakes unlocked, both weapon packs, camping pack, and atv

#

I just never feel like I know where to go to find animals, or how to get a good straight line of sight on them

clever bear
#

If you see need zones, be sure to activate them. It encourages spawns of the specific animal to keep coming back to that area.

heavy dome
#

As you play more you'll discover more need zones which help, but as a beginner you can't go wrong with just wandering around, you'll be bound to find something

bold escarp
#

Currently I'm trying to do the mission that I need to hit something at Belmont lake from 75m away

#

I have the rangefinder, but I cant find open areas

#

Alright

#

If either of you guys ever want to hunt with me and teach me some stuff, that would be cool

#

Last thing, what does the pumping fist thing mean, he randomly like uses his hand and goes up and down

clever bear
#

Pumping fist..? Hmn. Are your hands empty at the time?

bold escarp
#

Yeah

clever bear
#

It's just part of the animation cycle.

bold escarp
#

Oh alright

#

Thanks for the help you guys, happy hunting, let me know if you want to hunt together some time.

storm gate
#

knowing when animals feed and drink is good

#

one sec

bold escarp
#

So since I need a Male whitetail for my mission in Layton lakes, and the time is 8, I need to find a resting area?

clever bear
#

They'll be moving from a feed zone to a rest one at 8 a.m. ingame time.

heavy dome
#

You may have better luck 12-15 when they're drinking, they should be a bit easier to see since they'll be near water

#

For those area specific ones though, sometimes the only thing you can do is just get lucky while a herd is passing through the area

bold escarp
#

Is there a map of unlocked need zones

#

I have not discovered many whitetail need zones

storm gate
#

they're usually found in roonache

clever bear
#

No two players have identical need zones unless they travel together on a fresh multiplayer map.

Do you guys have any favorite spits?

@clever bear @storm gate

it would be rude to choose a favorite spit

but seriously for whitetail no not really, hate hunting them most of the time

Any recommended places

#

Not only for whitetail, just anything?

If I'm just looking to shoot some stuff, I like going to willipeg, I have a shitload of moose and elk spots there

Besides that, I don't really have any spots, I usually just kinda go wherever

How can I one shot cape buffalo

clever bear
#

Heart-shot, brain shot.

#

Or use a large-calibre weapon and hit one or both lungs.

frosty sage
#

45-70 lungshot does it for me

#

Hollow points

bronze latch
#

Ok thx

proud mist
#

@frosty sage But do they yield 100% quick kill?

#

If it doesnt it's useless

#

No if's and but's, it's completely and utterly useless if it doesnt :L

#

@clever bear Shame that in terms of rifles there's nothing past 20 meters that can do a double lung

clever bear
#

I've had double lungers from the 600gr. arrowheads.

proud mist
#

Thats because the bows are stupidly OP

#

You can skewer a water buffalo from brain to tail with that one ingame

clever bear
#

And I love that.

proud mist
#

If only it made sense ^

#

Of course I may have missed the part where the bows and crossbows ingame were replaced with these

clever bear
#

They make about as much sense as a skill with your arms making a compound bow more powerful. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

bronze latch
#

@clever bear better hunt with crossbow or bow?

clever bear
#

I prefer the bow. Crossbow is more beginner-friendly.

bronze latch
#

Ok thx

proud mist
#

@clever bear Basically. Personally hoping they'll either give the guns a buff or buff the QK limit further while nerfing buffalo "hardyness" because rn it's just BS

frosty sage
#

@proud mist to my experience, yes. Do i have the evidence, no. I know 45-70 is an underpowered round but i notice it kills most bigger animals very quickly with the hollow points if you hit vitals, you have to hit vitals to do any damage though. I'd say try it out i haven't had any bad experience with it yet

proud mist
#

Might give it a go in that case, odd if it works but if it does... cant hurt to try

@soft gulch Reindeer drink at dawn, so from 5-9AM in game time. The higher level males will stand quite far back in bushes and reeds to drink, but are rarely found solitary (so if you see a herd of trivials, call them all in and see what comes running from the back)
My hotspots are:

  1. the far southeast corner - the little lake JUST above the outpost, as well as the larger lake to the northwest of it
  2. the very large lake (and the two below it) in the centre-right of the map
  3. the three little lakes towards the right side of the gigantic crater (on the left side of the map).

All of these places have a fair number of reindeer at dawn, are easy to get to and have very good spots from which to call and ambush.

soft gulch
#

@cyan axle only number 3 I'm not exactly sure on location. But I've been hitting every single body of water both visible and "ice" harvesting a literal 100s of reindeer and have only seen one level 5 that only scored about 927 :(

cyan axle
#

Holy moly, that is rotten luck. Two of my diamonds have been at the third spot, no joke, so I'll elaborate on it:
It has an outpost in the middle, there is a lake to the north, a lake to the east, and a lake to the south (as well as a couple of other smaller ones around it) but the outpost is to the right side of the gigantic crater. The crater is the massive white area in the southwest quadrant of the map

#

Perhaps cross-platform play will be a thing one day!!

#

Try hitting those spots in multiplayer to refresh your population, real talk

soft gulch
#

I hope so. I like to treat this game a role play as possible. Basically looking for a guided hunt after years of trying to find the big ones lol

#

There's a known bug with animal spawns in singleplayer atm

#

Hah yes! I had that exact conversation with a mate yesterday about this game.

soft gulch
#

I have one Leucistic Gold number 4. But about it for luck. No kidding? Ive only played single player and kind of wanted all my trophies to be from my populations. But sometimes you got to mix it up

cyan axle
#

It's almost like the bug was a feature to push people into "guided hunts" ;)

soft gulch
#

Just like hunting irl. Sometimes you just get lucky, sometimes you got to go find someone who knows the secret hot spots lol I'll check out that 3rd lake

cyan axle
#

Lol no worries!! There are a cluster of lakes in the third spot, remember!
And dang, all of my rare-coated reindeer have been lvl3 max, lucky thing!

#

And yep! Mixing it up is fun, and you sometimes meet some lovely people.

Agree to that. I think I've found the spot. Haven't hunted there much at all so a tually really excited to give it a go

what is the best weapon (with dlc) to get 100 % integrity bonus and what should i shoot to one shot Gemsbok ?

storm gate
#

atm 338

#

double lung will do just fine but heart or brain will instant drop

bronze latch
#

.338 with 100 % integrity bonus ?

storm gate
#

yes

#

1 shot and it'll give 100% integrity

bronze latch
#

ok thx

#

i played today 11 hours and i find only 2 diamonds but i didnt get integrity bonus :/

storm gate
#

with what gun

bronze latch
#

7mm

storm gate
#

how many times do you shoot it/where did you shoot it

bronze latch
#

once 2 shots

#

and once 1 double lung shot 83 % quick kill bonus but with 100 % int. bonus

storm gate
#

yea 338 is your best bet for lung shots on gemsbok

#

if you're using 7mm go for heart or brain

bronze latch
#

k thx

#

btw do you know any tip to find diamonds ? (without weight calc)

#

if i headshot caribou m i get 0 % int. bonus/

#

beacouse i shoot him twice in head and in lung with 7mm

clever bear
#

"Shoot him twice" there's why you have no integrity. Try a smaller rifle to the 7mm and only hit them once.

heavy dome
#

@bronze latch like @clever bear said, it has nothing to do with shooting them in the head, its because youre shooting them twice. You need to hit the brain, not just anywhere in the head

clever bear
#


Hitting them in the skull is not a fast kill, nor is hitting just the vertebrae. You must hit something vital like brain or spinal cord, or lungs/heart etc to down them quickly.

#

Does the 7mm work on wolves ?

bronze latch
#

yes

#

btw where should i shoot ?

heart when hes standing up, otherwise if you have a big caliber go for double lung

shoot and kill everything you see

ill use the drilling shotgun

drilling is 7mm equivalent, atleast the rifle part of it
