what is a king eider ?

teal breach
#

A kind of duck

proud plover
#

yes

teal breach
proud plover
#

i know the "Eider à duvet"

delicate zodiac
#

Ah

#

I do not speak French

teal breach
proud plover
feral meteor
#

i was gonna ask something bout the game but i suddenly cant remember

proud plover
#

i didn't know how a king eider looked

delicate zodiac
#

Yeah originally I wanted common eider

teal breach
#

I just need some help with this damned mission

delicate zodiac
#

But king eider are a lot prettier

proud plover
#

i don't find prettier tbh

#

looks like they have an orange ball on the head

delicate zodiac
#

I just like it so much cause it is different from the other ducks we've got

feral meteor
#

i like the common better lol

#

just cuz it doesnt look like a tumor xD

delicate zodiac
#

Ehh the common eider has much more muted colors

#

And the crest on the king eider is very uniform

#

Not like a tumor

proud plover
#

how about the mandarin duck

feral meteor
#

ooo pretty

delicate zodiac
#

Hmmhm

#

Mandarin Duck are Asian species though

proud plover
#

yep

delicate zodiac
#

And I don't think they're hunted

#

Cause Asia

teal breach
#

I'm starting to get real impatient

delicate zodiac
proud plover
#

they were introduced elsewhere too

feral meteor
#

asia eat bats for gods sake why wouldnt they hunt the duck?

teal breach
#

Does anyone here know where I can find those animal carcasses in Prosperity for that mission

delicate zodiac
#

Have you ever seen a spectacled eider?

proud plover
#

i would prefer photo hunting them then killing them

delicate zodiac
#

Sorry, Zha

proud plover
#

zha in which reserve are you in

teal breach
#

Silver Ridge

delicate zodiac
teal breach
#

Doing the mission

proud plover
#

idk zha

#

i only get to play it on july 8th

feral meteor
#

Wut, why?

dense grove
#

i need help idk how to get my guns out

feral meteor
#

Which ones?

#

Your equipped or your guns not in your inv?

dense grove
#

i dont know how to equip

proud plover
#

Opt out the storage

feral meteor
#

You gotta to to a cache

dense grove
#

ok im at one

feral meteor
#

Then drag it into your inv from the storage

proud plover
#

then open up your main menu,

#

and go to inventory

#

there you can do what you want

dense grove
#

i do that but the guns arent there

feral meteor
#

Interact with the cache

#

Just going to the main menu isn't the cache

dense grove
#

ik im at a cache

proud plover
#

are teh weapons you want to the right in the storage

#

the*

feral meteor
#

You see the hit e to use?

dense grove
#

yes

feral meteor
#

Hit e

proud plover
#

because if they are on the left you don't have them in your inventory when you will look at it

feral meteor
#

It will take you to the store

dense grove
#

gimly there are on the right

feral meteor
#

Then there is a tab called storage

dense grove
#

ok im on storage

feral meteor
#

Now the weapons NOT in your inv are on the right the one IN your inv are on the left

#

Then all you have to do is drag a bought gun into your inv

#

Then Equipt it from the inv menu

#

Aka drag it into one of the numbered 1-9 slots

proud plover
#

that's weird

#

that's the contrary on consoles

feral meteor
#

Not everyone uses console

proud plover
#

the one in your inventory are on the right

dense grove
#

^

#

it says inv on top right

proud plover
#

sorry if i confused you

dense grove
#

wait what 9 slots hotbread

feral meteor
#

Wait you on PC or console?

dense grove
#

pic

#

pc

feral meteor
#

One aec

#

I'll go take a pic on my phone

#

Cuz once you leave the cache and have the guns you want you gotta go to your inv from the main menu

#

And there is a little list with everything in your inv

#

Then on the right is a small list from 1-9

dense grove
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

feral meteor
#

Which is where you Equipt your items

#

Yeah

#

You figured it out?

dense grove
#

thank you so much lmao

#

im stupid my bad

feral meteor
#

It's fine lol I'm honestly confused by the layout of the menus myself

dense grove
#

thats weird you have to go to main menu to do that

proud plover
#

you aren't stupid

dense grove
#

just a lil

feral meteor
#

You can just hit i

proud plover
#

no

feral meteor
#

Hotkey to get to your inv

#

NOPE

#

Wait

#

Lmao

#

I forgot I changed the hotkey

#

I think it's F2

#

For the inventory hotkey

dense grove
#

i use a controller haha

feral meteor
#

Ohh

#

Ok

#

Dang try looking in controls in the system tab in the menu to see if it even has a control for controller

dense grove
#

you just hit pause

feral meteor
#

Wish it could actually pause the game tho 👀

#

Like people needs to eat man

#

Lol

proud plover
#

you can take a screenshot

nova glacier
#

can u guys help me with the 'retrieve the quartz rattles'

proud plover
#

sorry i got to wait till the 8 th of july bud

#

maybe they can help you

feral meteor
#

I've barely done my own missions so I'm not even sure what that one is

dense grove
#

wait theres missions

#

wtf

feral meteor
#

Yeah on your "huntermate" aka smartphone

dense grove
#

oh

feral meteor
#

You can also go into your pause menu again and find the tab labeled mission I think

#

Unless its labeled something else

#

But I think it's called missions

dense grove
#

visit a look out point is my mission lmao

feral meteor
#

Yup

#

Same as mine on hirs

nova glacier
#

the ascent

gritty hearth
#

im stuck with even getting the game to run without crashing and nobody bothered to help

sharp pebble

delicate zodiac
#

Send in the Swat team

bitter sinew
#

Noticed a couple screenshots with multiple trophies in a display, how's that done?

delicate zodiac
#

@bitter sinew how do you mean?

bitter sinew
#

@delicate zodiac ^

delicate zodiac
#

Ahh

#

Those are multimounts

#

When in the lodge, you should see a tab by Trophy Manager “Matmat’s multimounts” or something of that sort

#

Then if you click it, there will be a list of the multimounts in the game

bitter sinew
#

ahhh, I see, and looks like those all cost extra cash? (in game)

teal breach
#

Yes

bitter sinew
#

awesome, gives me a goal to target some specific animals! Thanks dudes 🙂

olive shoal
#

@sharp pebble got the exact same issue

tired yew
#

I can’t get thru the doo
@sharp pebble I'm with this problem as well. I can't get in

bitter sinew
#

I've seen half a dozen posts about this, likely something the devs will fix, but saw a few people resolved it by restarting the game

olive shoal
#

i restarted the game 5 times, still no luck

tired yew
#

I tried, but no success

olive shoal
#

guess we gotta hope they see our complaints 😔

bitter sinew
#

Bummer, I noticed a couple mentioned that they quit out of the game mid mission, did you guys as well?

#

something about the door getting knocked down, they quit out and when they came back, the door was back on the frame

olive shoal
#

yup

#

i cleaned up the shed, left while searching for the damaged track, and then when i came back that happened

bitter sinew
#

@tired yew same for you as well?

tired yew
#

Yeah @bitter sinew

#

I tried and tried and the door keep closed.

bitter sinew
#

Well, looks like we figured that one out. Someone will probably have to go spelunking through the savefile to find out where mission progress lives and see if you can edit it, or some kind of less intrusive fix

teal breach
#

Did anyone here play through the main story line yet?

rocky surge
#

there's been a lot of issues with the story missions

#

I'm hoping it'll be resolved in the next patch like what happened with Fernando

bitter sinew
#

is the Argus 8-16x50 Scope worth the cost? It seems my .338 can't shoot much further than an 8x can see

manic kernel
#

If you are a good enough shot the .338 can reach out a lot further. I personally almost never use the .338 so a lot of the other rifles make quite nice use of the Argus

maiden kraken
#

is the 6.5mm worth?

flat pumice
#

not really imo

#

compared to a 30.06 its gonna lose out

maiden kraken
#

ty

manic kernel
#

Isn’t it one of the best for long range? (.30-06 is really nice though too, drops animals like it’s nothing)

maiden kraken
#

ive been using the m1 recently, really enjoying it

flat pumice
#

the 6.5 is nice for the collection i guess

#

still never got that skin from the cuatro missions

maiden kraken
#

not trynna spend the money if other guns are better

bitter sinew
#

is it worth saving up for the .300 Canning over the .338? I generally use the .243 and 7mm with the .338

storm gate
#

300 is better yes

runic kindle
#

Does anyone know good spots to hunt on Parque Fernando

turbid depot
#

Hi 🙂
I just bought Silver Ridge Peaks and I want to start hunting turkeys. I got the wild turkey crowd caller and mouth caller. It says that the crowd caller has attraction strenght 55 and the mouth caller 40. Other attributes are the same. Is there any reason to use the mouth caller instead of the crowd caller or is there any other difference between them I don't see?
The same with turkey decoys where one is male and the other is female. But I guess the male decoy is to attract females and the female decoy is to attract males. Am I right?

shrewd hare
#

Mouth caller is to attract them to you and crow is used to get a vocal response from the turkeys so you can check their location. Decoys shouldn't matter which you use. You get max attraction witih 5 decoys so no reason to put more than that.

#

I used 2 male and 3 female decoys and it worked. The turkey was more interested to the caller than the decoys tho. Need to test them more.

turbid depot
#

@shrewd hare Thank you very much for response 🙂 So both are actually useful. That's nice.
With decoys I was thinking placing them in a good spot near feeding/resting zones and leave them there so when I got the mood for turkey hunting I would have the ground already prepared.

shrewd hare
#

Sounds good! Get a blind or have a good bush to hide in. They see really well.

dark mango
#

do you guys use the argos sight? I always use the hyperion but maybe the other one would be better for medium range shots, which I do the most

feral meteor
#

why roe deer not coming towards my call? lol there is a roe mating call in the distance but it doesnt seem like its coming towards my call

#

also does rain actually affect anything in game?

flat pumice
#

the noise of the rain drowns out the sound of your footsteps a bit, so you can afford to be a bit louer

#

louder

#

and theres perks that will make you less visible in rain

#

as for the roe not coming, it might be nervous or something

#

or just out of range

feral meteor
#

hmm how do you call in a fallow deer? i dont see a caller OR scent

orchid jay
#

Antler Rattler works for them

feral meteor
#

really? ok thx

#

😂 ok how do i fix a flipped atv?

feral meteor
#

bruhv thats so horrible, i found a spot where whole herd of whitetail were feeding and i tried calling them in and all, why tf do they ALL go in an arch?

feral meteor
#

legit herd had 3 bucks in it i wasnt able to get a single one cuz they didnt go straight for my call and didnt even move till a good 10 minutes of calling

flat pumice
#

does much more likely to come check it out

#

bucks will stay behind

feral meteor
#

That's not fair specially with the wheeze caller, it even says it will bring in mature bucks

#

And mentions nothing about does

ornate wasp
#

All callers work on both genders. The text is just flavor text.

#

Does are less shy than bucks for most herd species. Bucks tend to stick closer to treelines and are less likely to walk in close to a caller.

feral meteor
#

Damn that sucks

flat pumice
#

just how it works

dark mango
#

in my experience, callers are not very useful to kill high trophy animals... unless they're alone
low level animals will always be attracted first, so either you have to kill them (and spook the good ones) or they'll make warning calls when they see you (and spook the good ones)

#

when it comes to herds, I try to kill the highest trophies from afar and let the others flee

bitter sinew
#

Are the recurves or compound bows any more silent than the crossbow, or will they all spook animals at the same rate?

gritty otter
#

Dude are you blind that’s a pronghorn

last hemlock
#

yes I know, I’m saying that they used google for the rare pronghorn, so why can’t they do that for the horns on bighorn

bitter sinew
#

Not sure, but "Help and Tips" is probably not the place for feedback and outrage lol

gritty otter
#

Yeah

last hemlock
#

well where would you put it? All the feedback ones are read only

bitter sinew
#

Well, if it doesn't fit the criteria for any existing channel, General is a good catchall

last hemlock
#

good to know

#

well since I already posted it here, I might as well leave it and not post it multiple places

bitter sinew
#

You can delete it and post it in a more proper channel. But that's your prerogative

last hemlock
#

thanks for being chill, sorry if this seems really petty to you

feral meteor
#

oh how to take screenshot in game?

gritty otter
#

Idk

upbeat mural
#

anyone here helping out with taiga achievements

#

i started anew game to chace some that i years back didnt get. just to see if its possible now

ive got mammoth tusks 8, cave lion skulls 8 and cave lion teeth 10. does anyone have more than me?

hey guys, i seach some cool guys i can hunt with. Im new to the game but i might be not that much bad ;D

pliant geode
#

i need some help with a mission on the new map

bitter sinew
#

Do all bleeding animals die eventually? I swear whenever I foul hit something class 7+ I'm following 0-25% blood spatters for an hour until I give up or lose the trail (Moose and Elk mostly)

dark mango
#

I think bleeding animals will always die eventually... though probably they will never be worth tracking them for 30 minutes

#

considering you'll get a lower medal, no quick kill bonus, etc

bitter sinew
#

yeah, I've been considering diminishing returns a lot lately lol

dark mango
#

this is assuming a foul hit of course

bitter sinew
#

I've had the game for a week, so I'm pretty much just blasting everything that moves from a tripod, which means a fair amount of foul hits lol

sterile sparrow
#

What kind of bullets that you can kill a grizzly bear in less than seconds?

olive shoal
#

anything that holds integrity on class 7 animals

#

just go for a heart shot

#

or double lung

green fiber
#

i found this area to be with 3 feeding groups of elks and 2 of mule deers if anyone looking for some

bitter sinew
#

is it pretty common for Geese to just fly over you and not land when you're calling on 30 deec's or is it just my goofy ass sitting in a tripod instead of a blind that's doing it? I assume the game's not sophisticated enough to distinguish blind types, but not sure

dull belfry
#

is missions the quickest way to lvl up?

last hemlock
#

@bitter sinew i noticed that sometimes you can be calling geese and a fake flock will fly over you

#

you cant spot em or anything

#

and yeah sometimes geese dont come in its weird

onyx meteor
#

Can someone help me.My game suddenlty stopped saving and i dont know why.I have 250 hours and that started happening two days ago.it can be the antivirus and i checked already.It does that on every map

#

it cant*

bitter sinew
#

ah forsure, wasn't sure if the tripod was a factor. Sitting on an open field in Hirsch and decided to throw down some deec's and bag some geese while I call red deer haha

halcyon grove
#

anyone else getting a weird sort of choppiness with items in your hands? like everything else is fine but the animations for the guns, callers, and other stuff is really choppy for some reason

delicate zodiac
#

Yes

halcyon grove
#

okay glad its not just me

#

i reinstalled my game to see if that would fix it but it didnt lol

olive shoal
#

Does the "distressed fawn" caller work on mountain lions?

delicate zodiac
#

Yes

olive shoal
#

It doesn't say so on the attracted species list. Are you 100% sure?

#

It says puma, but not mountain lion.

halcyon grove
#

I'm pretty sure the caller counts mountain lions as pumas

#

weird, but it works I guess

delicate zodiac
#

Yeah pumas and mountain lions are the same thing

olive shoal
#

aight, just making sure

#

guess i'll find out myself

last hemlock
#

okay so when grinding whitetail drinking zones I set the time back to 12:30 but the bucks I killed don't respawn and it takes forever is there a way to get a faster respawn? maybe leaving the game or something?

amber edge
#

Ye

prime stirrup
#

Usually it takes more than a day for animals to respawn

#

I don’t think anyone really knows exactly when they do respawn, but I’ve heard anywhere between 3-6 ingame days

Can someone send me a pick of good turkey spots

frigid ember
#

this my first time playing hirschfelden, can u only shoot geese from the sky?

olive shoal
#

Does the deer grunt caller work on mule deer?

mortal vigil
#

i just messed up my first diamond, so it's just a gold. How should I feel? Should I still taxidermize it? 510 mule deer

last hemlock
#

yeah since its a legacy rack

manic kernel
#

Score is what counts I would say. Medal is just an added bonus. I would go ahead and mount it

#

is there a way to change my local files? i picked an older on by accident that is lvl 5 and my newer one was lvl 30-40

#

i dont remember

random nymph
#

So I'm stuck on the Silver Ridge mission called "Old Haunts: Photograph any animal carcass you find". I've found a few pools of blood in the ghost town but nothing else now for over an hour of walking and quading all over the town and all over the entire valley. Not looking for someone to solve the mission for me, but any tips just pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

signal gyro
random nymph
#

@signal gyro thanks that pointed me in the right direction

last hemlock
#

how do people get whitetail to respawn

random nymph
#

Basically to solve it I had to photograph the blood splatters on the ground, even though the mission explicitly stated: "Photograph any animal carcasses you find" this poor wording led me to assume there were actual carcasses somewhere in the area and to spend a lot of time needlessly searching for them when all I had to do was find 5 different blood splatters on the ground. Additionally, I didn't even need to find the 5 different splatters of blood. I simply photographed the same splatter 5 times in a row and was able to progress to the next stage.

I really hope they fix both the wording and the actual process of this mission in future and I wrote my solution so anyone who has this problem in future can refer to it.

last hemlock
#

my whitetail only respawn in certain zones

#

my 2 biggest ones are just does now

#

and i have a few need zones where I never even see whitetail but they are on the map

is there a way to change my local files? i picked an older on by accident that is lvl 5 and my newer one was lvl 30-40

side note: on Silver Ridge, I'm in a never ending loop of the very first quest at the end when you visit the mine. can anyone help?

mortal vigil
#

How do respawns exactly work? So can a male elk respawn as female or other way round? And can a gold elk respawn worse, or is it completely random and how high is the chance at respawn for a rare/diamond?

shrewd hare
#

Only thing we know for sure is that male will spawn as male and usually in the same weight category.

edgy surge
#

how do you guys usually aim with the new bow, or the Houyi?

uneven hull
#

find the middle of your screen and put a booger on it

#

use the booger to aim, thats what i did back in my Rust days for the bow

shrewd hare
#

I cover the aiming with my latests video. Each arrow has a slightly different spot to aim and 350gr seem to be slightly broken.

#

700gr feels the best so far. Just use the arrows tip to aim. 540 you need to aim slight above the tip and 350gr just don't work properly with zeroing as of now.

last hemlock
#

yeah

shrewd hare
#

That's for the longbow

#

Recurve is different

last hemlock
#

With the 540s i've just been using the top line on the actual bow

#

One under it if its under 20m

#

Been working fairly well.

shrewd hare
#

540 has been the most challenging for me to use since the aim point is covered more than with other arrows

last hemlock
#

Yep

shrewd hare
#

Need to do some long shots with the 350gr arrows since the fly so far 😄

#

60m zeroing you need to aim below 100m target to hit it.

Hi everyone, I ran into such a problem in THCOW. I don’t have a quest in any reserve, even after starting a new game, if I click on the task tab, the menu freezes. Please help, thanks in advance.

does somebody know where the bridge you need to repair is in the "safety hazard" mission, in vurhonga?

Is there a way to like.. restart a map, but not have to restart your whole game? I've come across a bug to where it says i need to go to the first outpost, even tho i did.. and its not letting me carry on

last hemlock
#

does resetting animal population also get rid of all your tripods/treestands you have placed?

#

or only need zones

#

Heys guys how u all doing? Is anyone still having trouble with the mission "Plans are Derailed"? Door closed

Do anyone know if max weight animals still show just the max weight on the tracks
Like if I have a max weight diamond mule deer the tracks will only show 210?

Hello! To everyone who have problem with Old Haunts mission. It is easier to take pictures of dead animals using the camera's zoom. Every time you make a fine photo Allan Bradley will speak. I had the same problem but I have done this mission already.

ivory vessel
#

I can't get into the shed

mortal vigil
#

yes it is, many have this problem. if you logged out during the mission its bugged and i havent found a solution yet anywhere

ivory vessel
#

oof

#

that sucks

#

i hope they patch it soon

mortal vigil
#

Me too, I want to finish the story. People have tried just sticking in that area and after about 30 min, the progress of the story continues, so the game thinks you have cleaned up the shed, but the quest simply won't finish

ivory vessel
#

huh

mortal vigil

even all of the objectives are completed

carmine shuttle
#

@amber edge Ive heard and seen on a video that that is a thing, but I cant confirm from experience. It may or may not have gotten patched during the last several updates

amber edge
#

Thx turtle

#

It was a thing before but i stopped playung the game for a few months and everything changed so I'm not sure

mortal vigil
#

After I killed two males of a herd/needzone, will they respawn into the same herd? So i better dont touch this needzone again until the hunting pressure is gone? Or does it not matter and i can just shoot the females and delete the need zone

carmine shuttle
#

Same here, sry I couldnt help much.
Last thing I remember about that was that they were going to work around the zagtactics method, and I took a break shortly after that until about a week ago.

#

@mortal vigil From what I've heard, the animals you killed can respawn randomly as a male or female. But from exp, theyll most likely be males if they were fairly high lvls, that may just be my game tho, idk. My advice is to keep purging the herd every couple of days until you find something you like.

#

Im still hoping the diamond bison and wolf I bagged the other day come back bigger than before 🤔

cerulean cradle
#

Sorry for being too stupid and basic a question.
About "Bullet Expansion”, how does it perform as a game system?

flat pumice
#

penetration is what allows you to hit multiple organs, expansion will cause higher bleed rate

cerulean cradle
#

ah! That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you.

flat pumice
#

say if your weapon is rated for class 2-4 , on class 4 use high penetration, on class 2 you could use high expansion rounds

delicate zodiac
#

Oh my bad

flat pumice
#

all good

cerulean cradle
#

No, what I wanted to know was your answer, eypick, lol

delicate zodiac
#

Oh, my belief was that greater expansion has a greater area of effect and lower power, and greater penetration has a lower area of effect but greater power

#

But I believe that to be incorrect now

amber edge
#

I always use the Polymer tips because I make ultra long shots all the time

cerulean cradle
#

Is it? I was under the impression that HP was more likely to hit the smaller organs. So I wanted to ask.

amber edge
#

but if you are killing a buffalo in close quarters you could go a long way with a soft point

delicate zodiac
#

Or just run

cerulean cradle
#

Yes, the effect of the penetration value is easy for me to understand.

amber edge
#

Running is for lesser

@ivory vessel if your trying to find the broken rail it is way down the track

ivory vessel

thats not the issue, but thanks for trying to help

I tend to always use the higher penetration rounds because I like to make sure I hit vitals

mortal vigil
#

Regarding the "level" of an animal, is that an overall rarity indicator? I'm not sure if i get it
Like a level 5 fallow deer is probably diamond, but red deer can go up to level 9 it seems. So if i shoot a level 5 red deer it's not diamond, but a fallow deer is while the chance of them spawning at level 5 is equal? 😄

#

I know this has been asked a lot but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere, the mission "The Ascent" seems to be bugged and I don't know where to go to find the path up the mountain

last hemlock
#

It's not the best solution, and it might not even be a solution, but the mission where I had to grab the rock climbing gear in the new reserve was bugged for me and after I gave up and went hunting, a doe trampled me and the mission was magically fixed. So uh my suggestion is find a tall mountain and take a leap of faith.

#

If that doesn't work, sorry.

robust tendon
#

@mortal vigil it’s not based on numbers, I don’t actually know why there are different max levels. To answer your question, no there isn’t as many lvl 5 fallows as there are reds because the numbers aren’t linked, every animal has its own rarest level (the max) and all the other levels too

#

there might be as many level 5 fallows as there are level 9 reds since those are the same rarity

mortal vigil
#

Okay, that's weird

austere relic
#

? --is their a way to easily locate where you put a tent if you can't find it? I had the white and red tent and I cant' find it on any reserve. Halp!

robust tendon
#

you can’t see it on the map right

#

is it on your inventory or storage?

austere relic
#

No, I can't see it on any of the reserve maps, and it's not on my inventory, it also no longer shows a check mark next to it in the store like it did

#

does that mean it vanished?

robust tendon
#

don’t know sorry

#

Post a pic of your map @austere relic

runic kindle
#

Does anyone have a spreadsheet for max weights and stuff

carmine shuttle
#

Quick question. Does anyone know if playing down a tripod spooks any animals nearby? I was noticing some funny behaviour earlier just after doing it

robust tendon
#

Are you asking if it makes noise when being placed?

#

If it’s about animals getting spooked while you’re in a tripod then it’s probably a glitch since the purpose of the tripod is for you to see animals before they see you

#

Or maybe they’re just picking up on your scent 🤷‍♂️

carmine shuttle
#

No, I meant when placing it. You know how the tents have a spook radius of about 300m when you put them down?

#

I was wondering if the tpods had something similar to that, but to a smaller extent

olive shoal
#

All deployable items (except for decoys) have a 300m spook radius when you place them.

#

@carmine shuttle

#

Placing decoys doesn't make any noise, but everything else does.

dark mango
#

does backing up your savegame also preserves your trophy lodge?

last hemlock
#

p sure yes

dark mango
#

nice

glad rune
#

What reserves should I buy?

#

Like what are the best ones in terms of animals and the money you make from them

dark mango
#

watch some gameplay on youtube or join some mp games (you don't need to own a reserve to play a mp on it) and just buy what you like

#

I don't think there are any differences in terms of money

glad rune
#

Ah alright

dark mango
#

also, read their steam store descriptions so you know what exclusive animals each of them have

carmine shuttle
#

Hm, thanks @olive shoal it's kind of weird tho, sometimes it spooks animals when I place it, and other times it doesnt, that's why i was wondering.

flat pumice
#

the tripods/blinds make a bunch of noise when you put them down, but not when you get in and out

#

the hunting stands you build on the map don't make sound.. idk if they're supposed to or not

ivory wraith
#

Have the effects of "Increased Confidence" archery perk changed, or is the description of "hip shot accuracy" kind of misleading and it also extends to aiming with a sight?

amber edge
#

Hipshot means no aiming shot

#

Aint it?

ivory wraith
#

Right, but I have been reading a few guides and everyone seems to recommend this perk, then go on to talk about aiming and sights

#

So, I didn't know if I was missing something, or something had changed since the guides were written with the perk

snow warren
#

do the weight of the animal effect the trophy score?

#

because i dont really understand the scoring system

bitter swift
#

it does for animals without horns or antlers

#

like cats, bears and wolves

#

okay so like for mountain goats aswell?

Hello guys ! Im coming here because we started COTW with a friend and we have a problem. When we play on multiplayer, i host, he loose his solo save
And its totally annoying
I have DLC and he doesnt

glad rune
#

how do i get more space on my trophy manager thing?

teal breach
#

What's the best place in Spreeberg for foxes

olive shoal
#

@snow warren Different animals are scored in different ways. Some animals, such as bears, foxes, ducks, etc. are scored by weight; whereas others, such as deer, goat, buffalo, etc. are scored by their horns/antlers.

#

Generally speaking, if an animal has horns/antlers, that's what it's scored by. If it doesn't, then it's usually scored by weight (however, this can differ in the case of some animals, such as turkey; which are scored by their beard and spurs).

loud torrent
#

everyone in a multiplayer session gotta have the same map DLC to play on said map right? emilzyMath

bitter sinew
#

^ no, just the host

#

Do you launch the shooting range DLC independently to get in, or can you navigate there from the main game?

storm gate
#

the host has to have it to start, if the host leaves and someone else has the map itll work just fine if not you have 15 minutes before it shuts down

#

shooting range is in the southeast of hirsch

bitter sinew
#

oh, so it actually exists on the map? That's kind of dope haha

storm gate
#

yea bow range is outside main lodge on parque

ooh thats p cool tho

@olive shoal okay thank you, im starting to understand a little bit more know 🙂

ok these stupid missions are pissing me off now...first the stupid mine sign now the stupid baden thing. am i supposed to kill the f'n bear? it ran off. there is nothing near the phone. no blood..nothing

olive shoal
#

i'd wait for a bit to do the srp missions

#

they're all super buggy

last hemlock
#

So I'm watching old videos and I'm seeing people insta drop animals in one shot by hitting the spine, or both lungs. I've done both of those things before but my animals ran off. Did things change from when these videos were made or am I just bad?

#

What gun are you using and which animals

#

For instance I used an M1 on a black bear and got both lungs and it ran a decent distance before dying. It wasn't far but I was expecting an insta drop from that shot.

flat pumice
#

spine shot used to be insta kill yes

#

they changed it

last hemlock
#

Also if you hit the vertebrae they don’t drop anymore and yea m1 won’t drop a bear typically
It will drop deer tho
Just depends on what animal and gun u use

flat pumice
#

now it only counts if you get the actual spinal cord hit

#

it will still drop em, but doesn't count as a vital

last hemlock
#

Not epic

#

0 epic out of 10

flat pumice
#

naw its good

#

you got a good shot on the bear, it ran for a bit, whaddaya want

last hemlock
#

I wanted it to not run

flat pumice
#

well they run though

#

maybe if you get the heart + lungs or spine + lungs

dark mango
#

the only shot that guarantees instadrop is heart, right?

#

two lungs usually does the trick though... I think

#

I don't mind tracking them for a few meters anyway

flat pumice
#

i mean irl too it takes time to bleed out, even if u get the heart

#

and a lot of animals have enough energy to run for a bit

#

if you really wanna drop them on the spot get ammo with 100 penetration and get every organ

#

like arrows or the .454

tacit elbow
#

i played the game for 2h exited the game normaly and when i come back no progres everything that i did wasn't there except the inventory stayed the same can i do anything about it?

teal breach
#

Idk why but sometimes, the game wipes all missions

#

That's especially angering on missions that are broken to shit

tired depot
#

check Steam Cloud synchronization, it should be turn on, maybe it helps, maybe you didnt wait till the end of synchronization?

tacit elbow
#

will i get the data back or no

tired depot
#

if you didnt wait till the end you probably lose your save

#

it takes so long to synchronize your progres

ez 2h+ gone

where can i find the Steam Cloud synchronization i look all over and can't find it

Anyone know how to split a stack of ground blinds so that you only grab 1 out of storage?

@tacit elbow RMB on the Hunter/properties/updates - at the bottom of the window

@tired depot do i keep it checked?

#

and ty

tired depot
#

yes checked

#

@rapid kelp its funny, when i try to move 1 or 2 or 3 of tents for example they always take up the same amount of space, dont know how to split but 1 or 2 or 3 its the same space in backpack

rapid kelp
#

That the issue I'm running into...I have 3 of the timber incognito blinds and it says it weighs 6..so when I drag to my inventory all 3 go and the weight of all 3 is still 6

#

I have 2 of the conifer blinds, and the weight is 6 even for both of them in inventory

tired depot
#

I Also noticed that I can overload my backpack using Enter on other object, total inventory capacity 26.00 and now i got 33.66

rapid kelp
#

Hmmm...never did that

#

I'll have to try that out sometime when I want both a tent and a blind..lol

tired depot

what a man will not know if he does not experiment 😉

#

and now i got 4 tents in backpack and 27.66/26.00

Don't know if it would work for weapons though

#

Just a quick question....has anyone had luck luring fallow deer with the bleet caller?

bitter sinew
#

no, only affected species are the ones listed on the caller, unless you have the perk that lures in random animals on calls

#

I figured as much...I was carrying it but never seemed to get a response to using it on fallows

#

I have the rattler..I guess I'll keep just it in my loadout then

bitter sinew

yeah, hirsch requires a lot of calls haha

I'm trying to only hunt fallows but didn't want to waste a slot on a useless call

What kinda rifles are good for level 6 animals like Mule deer. Wildebeests and red deer ETC.? i don't like using 4-7 guns because i feel like it never quick kills them

last hemlock
#

7mm or 30-06 both work fairly well

#

Before scoring 2.0 Mule deer were actually 7mm class animals

dark mango
#

I use 7mm for those
I don't know whether you have better options in weapon pack 3 or smoke and barrels tho

crude ruin
#

i use the martenson 6.5 that the ammo is class 4-8 because i LOVE how i can shoot shit and super long ranges but i feel like i can't get a quick kill in most cases. i haven't really killed level 6 animals that much so it could just be bad shots. the 30-06 has the same ammo score but is it better taking down level 6 animals? i really love how to 30-06 looks so i'd be down to have that when hunting level 6 animlas

if it did land in the water.. yea they do float over to where you shot them from

and bodies tend to slide down hill so it does happen

I can see it takes a turn to the water, in the 0-25% range

then there is just nothing

I've realized. I was only using the crossbow when I'd tripod hunt, for if I called anything on top of me. Picked up the advanced weapons pack or w.e and been playing with the new bow on SRP and it's nuts. Ride my ATV into a bison herd and kill 10+ every time with 1 arrow each lol

#

O.O why does every outpost flag say Hirschfelden no matter which reserve I am on? Hubby has the same issue. One of his maps even reset everything as undiscovered

olive shoal
#

@brave temple it's a bug, all the flags are the hirsch ones except for the srp ones for some reason

brave temple
#

ah, ok

#

was worried something was wrong with our files or soemthing. thank you

#

Might seem like a dumb question, but is there a sure-fire way to find rare animals? Or is it all rng based

prime stirrup
#

Kill stuff

#

Eventually one might respawn as a rare

#

Same strategy for diamonds

carmine shuttle
#

Hm, I was hoping that wasnt the case. I might find them sometime within the next ten years, with my luck. Thanks anyways^

Also, sry if I spammed anything, my internet was acting up so idk if it did or not

bitter swift
#

every animal that respawns has an rng number set for it, like a prize wheel. where it has a very low chance on landing on a rare.

#

so there is no way to guarantee a rare spawn

#

its all based on good ole rng

I just spooked a melanistic Harlequin duck. I tried resetting the time and waiting it out a bit, but it still hasn't returned to where it was. I also didn't get its zone, despite it saying it was eating. Any help?

prime stirrup
#

Just hunt for a little while and eventually once enough irl time passes it’ll be back

#

Just be sure to check that same area and remember what time you saw it

#

Same thing happened to me with a diamond teal. Waited like 4 irl days due to hunting other things in the area, before I could get a good opportunity to get the diamond teal

olive shoal
#

Alright, thanks! If I stick by the same pond, will it eventually fly back in, or do I need to be out of render?

prime stirrup
#

Uhm I’m not entirely sure. I mean I’ve had ducks spook and I could wait an irl hour and they’d never come back so if they do eventually come back, it’s after a very long time

#

Imo it’d be best for you to not wait and just leave the area to go after other stuff

olive shoal
#

What if I go on a different map?

prime stirrup
#

Time still passes the same on all maps even if you’re on a different map

#

So that would work

olive shoal
#

Okay, thanks!

carmine shuttle
#

Thanks @bitter swift That might be why I can never find anything good, IoI.

And yeah @olive shoal Oofie's right, just give it some time and it'll come back. I found a mela moose and a big big whitetail the other day that I couldnt get to, so I came back a day or two later before their need zone time and sure enough, they were both there.

carmine shuttle
#

So, that being said- does anyone know the best places for caribou? And other animals, too, if you dont mind. I've been running around the map, but it all seems to be random

olive shoal
#

Caribou are basically everywhere, except for the starting area and the wetlands.

#

Does anyone know if the cinnamon teal decoys come free with Parque Fernando, or if you have to buy them with in-game currency? I swear they were free, but I own none, and don't remember placing any, soo...

delicate zodiac
#

Nah they’re there too

olive shoal
#

I've never seen them there.

#

Anyhow, any answers to my question?

delicate zodiac
#

I think you do have to purchase them

robust tendon
#

Caribou aren’t in teekon either.

#

The recovering part at least

olive shoal
#

There's tons of them there for me.

robust tendon
#

huh weird

#

none for me

#

hardly anything for me actually just moose wolf and fox mostly

olive shoal
#

It seems to differ per map; I know a guy who has mountain goat down in bending forest and bearwallow basin.

robust tendon
#

massacred a pack of wolves one time

#

so it’s just slightly different for everybody like the need zone locations?

olive shoal
#

Yeah.

robust tendon
#

mmhm

olive shoal
#

why am i talking with proper grammar wtf it's 4 am

robust tendon
#

oh u on eastern time too lol

#

thought i was the only one

olive shoal
#

nah there's plenty here

#

as for the teal decoy situation, guess i was thinking of harlequin decoys? pretty sure they come free with yukon

robust tendon
#

I thought all the decoys came free if you purchased the reserves for them

carmine shuttle
#

Yeah I found diamond 'bou in the wetlands plenty of times, in the starting area too, they're just pretty uncommon. The areas I've noticed without any are the teekon and the lake south of it

#

You have to buy the decoys with currency @olive shoal

#

Same with the harlequins

robust tendon
#

I found mine at the small lake next to the outpost at rustline ridge

#

There was 2 there i think

olive shoal
#

huh. guess i bought the harlequins at some point and just don't remember

robust tendon
#

but one was only gold

olive shoal
#

don't really hunt ducks so

robust tendon
#

it was 400 but the score had changed to 430 for diamond by then

olive shoal
#

besides with the 22

#

i know the turkey decoys aren't free (i spent probably way too much money on them lol)

carmine shuttle
#

Nice^ yeah I was asking because my map has been a mess after the population got cleansed, I'm seeing animals in places they never used to be.

#

Everything is expensive lmao. The decoys and scent elim is what most of my money goes towards these days

robust tendon
#

how long does the cover spray last?

#

approximately

carmine shuttle
#

They said it lasts 3 minutes now, but.. honestly it makes little to no difference from what I can tell. I really dont know if using it is worth it or not

#

3 mins irl

shrewd hare
#

Scent eliminator is 30min irl

#

120min ingame

carmine shuttle
#

No way it lasts 30 mins for one spray..?

shrewd hare
#

Yea

carmine shuttle
#

That'd be OP

shrewd hare
#

it's not there to cover you 100%

robust tendon
#

only seems useful to me if you’re bow hunting maybe

shrewd hare
#

It reduces your scent

#

So mostly useful if you

robust tendon
#

i’ve gotten relatively close before by being downwind and havent spooked anything

#

relatively close as in maybe 50m

shrewd hare
#

*you're sneaking towards animals and wind suddenly changes. Spray it so you get a bit more time to relocate.

carmine shuttle
#

Hm. I might start carrying animal scents instead of that's the case. I would blow thousands on it since I thought it actually made your scent disappear completely

#

I tend to use it way more when I'm hunting bison. I cant even get within 100m without them bolting

shrewd hare
#

Then they are most likely hearing you

#

It's not too hard to get close to bisons but you need to crawl from 60m

olive shoal
#

i can walk up to bison until like 50m without them spooking 🤔

#

maybe more like 75

shrewd hare
#

If there is tons of cover, it's even easier

carmine shuttle
#

I try to crouch as soon as I get to 150m, but I hate crawling since the grass is almost always blocking my view of anything other than the sky

shrewd hare
#

I tend to spot the animal I want to kill, mark it and then crawl

carmine shuttle
#

Let's trade bison pops @olive shoal coslmao

shrewd hare
#

Keeps the distance to the animal in view

#

And crawl from bush to bush, get up when in full cover to spot them again

olive shoal
#

srp has a lot of cover even in the fields

#

just gotta know where to look

carmine shuttle
#

I used to do that, but no matter what, I kept spooking the animal, so I stopped. I try to keep it within view at all times now.

#

Still have to wait another week until srp drops..

shrewd hare
#

Do you wear backpack?

robust tendon
#

yes when i first spawned in at srp there was a herd of bison right next to me so i decided to experiment, followed them prone, crouching, walking even running and they didn’t spook for a good 10 seconds

#

(While running)

olive shoal
#

assuming you're on console, it got delayed until august 11th

#

so you have to wait a month and a half actually 😔

#

thankfully i'm on pc

carmine shuttle
#

Not back then, theyd spook even with good wind direction.

I started using it not long ago, and somehow I'm doing better.

#

That kind of broke my heart, ngl^

#

And I think your bison are glitched @olive shoal IoI

#

@robust tendon **

#

Sry.

Any reason for the delay, btw?

robust tendon
#

i think they said it was because they couldn’t reach their deadlines for the map in time

#

or maybe it’s just a messy way of making an excuse for trumule

olive shoal
#

it's because the map is super broken on console or something

#

even more broken than the pc version

carmine shuttle
#

If they released it as is, it would fit in perfectly with the rest of the game. Kappa

#

Welp.. guess this means I'm getting myself a PC..

#

Cant really complain tho, I've got enough to keep me busy on my off-time with the other maps. Havent even touched Savannah yet.

Plus, with Tlou2 and Ghost of Tsushima, I'll be busy for months

shadow tartan
#

what does those purple areas mean?

shrewd hare
#

Hunting pressure

#

You have killed an animal on those spots.

#

4 overlapping pressure on the same spot will delete a need zone and animals will try to avoid the area until the pressure is cleared.

shadow tartan
#

okay

#

so the dead animal is laying there?

#

i think i got all 3 animals there but the areas need some time to disapear right?

shrewd hare
#

That is the spot where you have hit an animal it has died from that shot

#

4 pressure on the exact same spot will delete zones in the area. So if you kill 4 animals from the same herd in the same spot, then zone is deleted if there is any in that spot.

shadow tartan
#

ah aight

#

is the centre of those areas the spot where i hit the animal?

shrewd hare
#

Yea

#

That is an easy way to check if your shot killed an animal. Just check map for pressure.

shadow tartan
#

great

#

i just killed an Albino Bison

#

was pretty excited about that

shrewd hare
#

Also if you kill animals from a hunting tower, it will apply less hunting pressure.

#

So from a tower you can kill 14 animals without losing zones in the area.

shadow tartan
#

okay, thanks buddy

shrewd hare
#

Glad to help 🙂

sleek oar
#

Why is it that nearly every time I harvest my animal it gives me a score that should be like gold or silver, but sometimes it says its a silver when it should be gold and bronze when it should be silver

shrewd hare
#

You haven't passed all the checks

sleek oar
#

Ah ok

#

Yeah I do see that one check is red most of the time

shrewd hare
#

Use right ammo, shoot twice or less, don't hit trophy organ and hit a vital organ.

#

Pass all of those and you get the best medal for the animal

shadow tartan
#

which weapon would u recommend me if i wanna hunt on long range?

shrewd hare
#

Depends what you want to hunt and if you own any dlc

#

from basic weapons 7mm is solid

shadow tartan
#

i got those, and i might add the lodge dlc

gritty otter
#

Any good animals to practice with the recurve?

#

im thinking blacktails would be good

autumn badge

#

I bought weapon pack 2 hoping for the drilling rifle to replace at least a couple of rifles from my loadout... until I saw that the buckshot for lower animal classes has an optimal range of 25 meters...

#

so I ended up not using any weapon from that pack, cause I can't figure out a loadout better, more convenient and that suits my playstyle better than my current one: 22lr, .243, .7mm, .300

#

and no, I won't have map-specific loadouts until ew implements a way to switch between them

#

... which tbh, I can't even imagine why in the world they haven't done yet, a few years after release

does anyone know when mule deer tru racks are coming out @iron fern

#

@shrewd hare so a quick kill is not required for a max trophy rating?

shrewd hare
#

No. Since scoring 2.0 it only affects exp and cash

Yes @autumn badge, I'm still have this issue and waiting for the fix

#

Perhaps @iron fern has already spoken to the devs

I've seen Lvl 3 female goats

How do animals respawn may be a dumb question but im worried I will kill all of the animals on a certain map.

Do Cougar's count as Puma's for MatMat's Multi Tophy? Or do I have to go kill the same animal in south america for it to be considered a Puma for the game? 😄

#

Cougars do count.

#

@bitter sinew

#

They do

small moth
#

Pretty much any reskin counts

#

Yes

#

I thought you said no lol

How do I tell the difference between a dark and melanistic harlequin duck? Can female harlequins even be melanistic?

gritty otter
#

melanistic applies to both sexes

#

do i get enough perk point for two perk tree like for complete bow and rifle?

bold escarp

anybody know a good way to level pistols?

Use the 357

will i be able to fill up both rifle and bow perk trees?

olive shoal

yes @modern slate

#

i think

#

but it's kinda pointless

#

some of the perks suck

Not at the moment no. On PC you could copy your save somewhere else before starting new game.
