this is what i mean you really gotta play it yourself to figure out what you wanna do
needed the money for the 7mm which i shot the moose with
#usingthe243onmoosewhenshefirststart
^^^^
Yeah he shot deer at point blank with the starting gun
and didn't even puncture organs
They got away
Thank god for weapon packs
my favorite is bear
I like white tail
with 243
Whitetail deserve anti tank rifle
fuckinng teases
I use the mosion
Idk how to spell it
I'm using the eckers rifle?
Well I guess next time we play I'll try asking him to split up and hope he does well
What are some good videos I should show him as a brand new player
Uh
Let him learn by himself @elder lichen
Videos only help for spots to hunt tbh
^^
Well
flinters beginner series
Knowing good spots to hunt is useful
maybe
I watched risky and flinters how to guides and beginners guide they helped a lot
I'm watching a Flinters video to see if it's good
and I've never seen bears in packs like this
and he found a legendary diamond too, amazing
That's a bear too
shoot it
What is this "TruMoose" and "TruRACS" stuff
tru racs are randomly generated racks for antlered animals
we used to have a system called legacy ( we still do since not all animals are tru racs yet)
but legacy was set racks so there was nothing special about them
It just makes it have a more realistic racks
More diversity
definitely
Little tweaks here and there that make it different
like the big antler on one side and then the tiniest on the other
I seen that on reddit
was wild
Fr
Okay so in this video, he went around to a bunch of lakes to find drinking zones and then set up a tent + outpost about 150 meters from each one. He shot a male deer each time before setting up the stuff and moving on-- He said it was to fast travel back to them in a looping run for respawns?
Can anyone explain more, because I finished the video but I feel like I've been hunting wrong this whole time lol
Is there a map of the challenge circles?
Here you go @teal breach .
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1596271417&searchtext=challenge+circles
baller, thanks
anyone here?
Is anyone hunting with expansion bullets instead of polymers ones?
What is it the ideal distance for the effective shot with expansion bullet?
So this is about right, yeah?
Keep my tent 150m away from two different spawns
and then just wait on a nearby tripod?
Anyone have some tips for grinding mulies on silver ridge? I’ve probably harvested hundreds since ps4 launch but all I find are level 3s, only found two level 4s.
What is the best spot to hunt turkeys
@agile citrus @axohhlol On Twitch Colorado Outpost. Also have them at Ouray Outpost, near the larger lake south of Chipeta Outpost (stay on the road), and west of Plains Bison Outpost, Rocky Mountain Elk outpost all have turkey zones for me.
@silver sable Grind as much as possible, then work on some other species. Return to Mulies, grind, repeat. I did this with Plains Bison on Yukon. Started with ONLY Bronze and Silvers. Then got many golds. I now have two diamond Bison off Yukon using this method. Good luck!
@fluid lagoon What caliber? With the 7.62x54r (DLC gun), it only has soft points and I've taken animals out to 150m. With my 7mm and poly tips, I've taken animals out past 350m.
@elder lichen for black bears the best spot or simple way to hunt them is 4pm onwards around lakes. go silver ridge peaks top right corner lakes and you will see double the amount in your picture around that one lake alone. good luck ! 😁
Oh I'm in Layton
But I'll take that advice when I go to Silver
I can't advance my missions until I spot 3 fur colors and all of them have just been common so far
@elder lichen Those darker areas are good bear areas.
Yeaaaah I remember those being spots where bears appeared
But so far all I've found there are elk and blacktail.
I did find a bear drinking spot at that lake but it warp-shifted into a blacktail drinking spot
so I'm trying my luck a bit North of there in the mountain ranges
@elder lichen Updated. Also try after dark at that lake, especially to the north of it. If you go mid-range along the river (sorry I don't have a more precise area), and near the bridge over the river, you should find more bears.
@elder lichen This is my duck and whitetail, but I see LOADS of bear around there. Last time it was at least five, good levels too.
I've already given up on good levels on animals lol, I never see diamond-tier stuff.
I just need consistent zones
I was trying along the marshlands of the huge river-lake on the left side
But that's mostly moose
Try that duck spot. I've seen up to level 8s there and I've never seen a level 8 on Layton. They usually move on the northern side of that duck slaughter zone.
I've used one of the predator calls with good success for bear, I needed one super close. The Distressed Fawn caller I think?
Turkey tips
@fading ledge What kind?
Does anyone know the max tr of a Roosevelt elk?
I just shot this and I’m wondering how close to max tr it is
I dont think truracs have an official maximum score, but the highest that I've seen is 420
Max scores haven't been discovered for the Roosevelt Elks yet, unfortunately.
I have my own estimates for each max score
I would say the roosey elks max is between 430 or 450, but that seems unlikely too
My scoring is suddenly fixed. Hm.
I can’t sleep
my roosevelt elk was at 413 with max weight
so it may be 413 cuz i havent seen anyone else except the above dude get that
Easiest way to get diamond on QC? I really want that 6.5 with wooden stock but there are barely any animals
Rabbits would be easiest. Stalk fields for zones.
Yes thats what ive been trying but best i found were not even close to 6kg
Just keep grinding them. Take only males, the biggest you can, as many as possible without wrecking your zones. Go and take another species, come back, rinse, repeat. I got two diamond buffalo when I started with Silver at best this way on Yukon.
Disregard males only. Females can make diamond, so just anhillate them.
Females are so far tze closest to diamond i got
thank you @bitter bay , I only use poly, but using both the mosin (single type) and the garand, I noted a better performance on the last one (keeping in mind the bullets different performances) . Since everywhere it is suggested to go for poly, for distances and chances for double penetration, I was looking how to get the best from the softpoint, thinking that a better spread should kill the animal quickly.
@fluid lagoon No problem. I thought the same thing too (better expansion, bigger trail). What I've really noted as of late that the better the penetration on a typical lung shot (i.e, double lung) yields the largest blood trail/fastest/instant kill outside of a heart shot. A 7mm on a Pronghorn, for instance, gets you a perfect score and a near instant kill. It seems more using the largest possible caliber for the animal you're hunting will get you the most effective kill shot. I have my die-hard favorites but I'm looking into a bigger gun for things like moose, elk, and bison.
@bitter bay We are on the same line, a double penetration is always the best outcome. This force to drop when it is possible the use of the softpoint
I thought that a spreaded bullet will give a strong "kick" and shock to the animal, but it seems that this kind of physic (quiet hard to code I think) is not present
I noticed too that the blood trail is only relate to the organs and not other factor. i.e. an arrow has a huge performance, balanced by the distance
Does anybody have tips for a beginner? I've spent the past 3 hours in Yukon valley trying to find an animal and could not. All that time I spent crouching through trees being unseen and could not find a single animal.
@keen agate look for a lake, stay underwind and wait
in that case, even if you scare animals (for example running) they will be back short to their need zone
I was near a bunch of water a few times, stayed in a tree but no luck. I think yukon just isn't my type of map. I'll give SRP a go
Any good turkey calling spots?
@bitter bay thanks! I’ll have to try hunting some other species, I could def use a break from the mule deer grinding 😅
Is there anything similar to cinematic tools that's actually working rn?
@serene jay Hey I'm not sure if you're the right person to tag about this but I thought the new map was supposed to be discounted for console players. I heard a lot of ppl saying that because of the long delay and because pc players supposedly got a discount. And now with all the problems were having I really feel like its deserved =/
Hello, can we place shot towards their heart through the legs (like from side, flat), will it be effective?
I was always avoiding to shoot leg muscle before afraid it didnt go through 😅
was the longbow spook radius fixed
What was wrong with it
it was spooking animals up to 200m
So it was spooking animals when you shot the bow
yeah
up to 200m away
like i fired it and a group of pronghorn 200m away spooked
which isn't supposed to be happening
The missed shot is what spooked them
i didn't fire at them though
i dropped a mule deer next to me and they spooked
like a few days before the update
and idk if it's been fixed
others can confirm that the longbow was also spooking animals really far away
i know aota mentioned it
Sorry if this is a lot to ask, but does anyone have head-on photos/screenshots or videos of where to hit heart shots (non x-ray?) for Layton animals? I find it quite difficult trying to make shot placement on animals facing my direction without knowing where to fire.
I can’t tell if it’s right above the curve of the chest, right below the head, simple adjustments like that. I know the general location of them though, however miss by a inch or so.
you can use the harvest screens
you know u can switch to seeing the xray and just flat image
i just killed a roe deer with the 243 and got no integrity...0...isn t the 243 a proper rifle to roe deer?
So hirschfelden, animal spawns seem so low??
Am I just being bad at the game or is it just generally harder to find animals?
A lot of people have more trouble finding animals on hirsh
I think it’s just some areas are better than others
A lot of animals are easy to see in the straw fields during their feed time
Mhm, just looking for foxes, but I'm assuming I'm best going to Yukon?
Ah damn,
All the class 2 canines usually are. Jackal, coyote, fox...... all considered difficult
Level 9 fox are diamond so good luck
Any tips on getting 10 heart shots with the longbow? This achievement is gonna be the death of me
I cant seem to see the heart on some species like bison in the kill screen. Might just be too blind. I've gotten heart shots on them before, but I felt like it had more to do with luck than anything else.
I found foxes pretty common in Yukon
is the glitch on "A Dangerous Reaction" able to be reset or anything
on Silver Ridge Peaks - first time I play through single player it gets stuck. ://
I just want to restart the mission or role back my save if possible
if I uninstall COTW, will it reinstall with my saved game?
this lynx mission is so fucking annoying
i have to take a picture of a lynx
i was literally 8 meters away from it spamming pics and it didn't complete the mission
am i doing something wrong?
btw i was using the camera
was it because it was night time?
nvm i found out why it wasn't working
@olive shoal Straight after you gotta shoot one so photo and bag it
"Accidently" mhm 
I managed to get on straight through as it was charging. Just need to repeat 9 more times, shouldn't take me more than a year to do.
Me: gotta put my tent I before going to that lake
Me: proceeds to not do that
Me: need to get ammo before I head out for a hunt
Me: goes hunting with 1 bullet left in the mag
#same
Why do people recommend the MN1890? I’m having bad luck with it at the moment. Having much better luck with the drilling shotgun with the 9.3X74R rifle ammo. Practically putting down warthogs in one shot but struggle to hit a vital organ with the MN1890
The Mosin is a great rifle. It packs a punch, looks/sounds great, and it's fairly light and versatile. It's much better than the standard .243.
Tho I have had trouble with it when shooting head-on (may be a bug), so I prefer to shoot broadside with it
And the Grelck is meant for bigger game, I prefer to have both on me for 3-9
Can I use the grelck for big game and a bow to replace the nagant
You could use a bow to replace them both if you wanted to, just depends on your play style. Bows can range from 1-9 because of the diff arrows/bolts so they're great all rounders, but it's a lot harder to get those long shots in.
I'm having insanely good luck taking down large game at long range with the grelck, perhaps I could use a bow for medium/short range if I can get up close enough.
Yo whats the best time for canadian goose?
Early morning
Is there a new clue out now
nope
Ok, thanks GB Brads
Anyone know why need zone are disappearing. There was not hunting in this location i just been grind need zones at the waters
what map is best for moose
@keen agate I wish I could say the same. My rounds don't even make it through a buffalo's hide at 250m+ after the last few updates. I have to get in a lot closer because of it, but when I'm feeling lazy I just use the .300.
Yeah I highly recommend the bows, they're pretty OP. Just takes a little practice. I'm trying out the longbow now and its insanely good, I think I prefer it over the compounds from what I've seen so far
@last hemlock that's pretty subjective, but ppl always put Med and LL at the top
Yukon is the best map for me overall
Btw does anyone know where to find the dinosaur footsteps?
well yukon was the best for me until i scared all the moose from the spot i was best in so i wanna try a dif map
They should come back after a while, if not then theres still plenty of good spots.
And idk, never really had any luck with the other 2 :< I felt happy anytime I came across a lvl 4 on them, let alone a 5
Give med a shot tho, if you're up for it
Good luck^
any spots you know that are better for moose
On Layton?
One sec
So I haven't hunted much there after all the WT got messed up, but most of my fav moose zones are still intact
whats WT?
Whitetail
oh ok
Look around Balmont lake
The rivers running north-south
High lake
And this little area down south, I got my first rare moose there
I know it's pretty broad but they're all great for big ones, at least on my map
I totally didnt see the shape of that until now xD sry if anyone sees it
cool ill def check it out
Best red deer spot on hirshfelden?
My go-to is the fields straight south of mullerwald eastern outpost.
Anyone have time for need zones for white tail in south lake
Thank you milk man
My game is broken; big time.
I just started the Cuatro Colinas mission "Divine Reckoning" and while I was in the tunnel the wolf from the mission glitched himself outside of the gates so I'm permanently stuck inside now with no way to kill the stupid wolf.
I'm going to try letting it kill me through the gates hold on
I let him kill me, and I respawed and drove the 1km back to the monestary. I killed it (after chasing him almost 500 meters) and now to complete the rest of the arc.
It worked! It's fixed :3
@final glacier around this area on my map
alright thx man
Def. Good luck
In Cotw: Is the 'ingame' money we earn counted on the weight, trophy, or the level of the animal, or maybe a conbination of those. If it's combination, which one will give the most 'ingame' money to earn then actually? Thx in advance guys/ladies..
If you have the goose dlc, they are the best money making animals in the game for sure. They give same as deer and come in as flocks so you can get multiple at once. And you can just sit around, do something else and when you hear honking, then focus on the game. Pretty chill way to earn 🙂
Do yall have any good spots for mallard ducks?
For mallard I have good luck in calburn canyon, also I start at the northern Willipeg post and move up the water.
Thx Ormy, have all dlc's on PS4 and on Steam as well. At the moment lots busy on PS4 actually 🙂 Have seen it on some videos, but i'm not a wing or waterfowl hunter. is why i asked what give the most money or what gives the most; high weight, high trophy score, or the Level of the animal?
Of course there will come a time that i'll start to hunt some waterfowl etc 😉
If i remember, there are also Canadian Goose at Hirschfelden. A map that i still like a lot, even when it's pretty dense foliage at many places, is why i like it to stalk my prey. Good practice when bow-hunting 😮
If using an Xbox do you need Xbox live to play this game (MP gameplay not mattering in the equation)?
🇵🇱
@pseudo sun
No, just internet. Xbox has nothing to do with the game.
@last hemlock Tyvm
So from my understanding you can find RME almost anywhere away from the mountains
But is there any specific hotspot or area that’s especially good?
Is there any good areas to hunt Iberian wolf?
Any hotspots in Vurhonga for lions? If so, I appreciate it!
Try the twin lakes to the south and the little lake just above that
Ahhh thank you both kindly!
Np dude, happy hunting
When does Hunt Club Beta rewards get fixed? Making the game too easy.
Well generating money hasn't ever been difficult
making**
@ember kite Thx very much, is kind (have all dlc's & maps on steam and ps4). I'll give it a try, not played on Cuatro yet 😉
😄
How is consecutive harvest bonus supposed to work?
Don’t worry about it
@violet iron whenever you harvest an animal, you gain consec; if you leave the game or switch maps without harvesting an animal you shot, you'll lose consec
It doesn’t really affect anything
it only affects money and xp
actually maybe just money
idk
what's the best map for foxes, yukon or hirsch?
I prefer Yukon
i feel like i usually have more luck with hirsch but i'll try yukon
Yukon is full of foxes imo, Hirsch took me forever to find a fox
alrighty
In Paque Fernando, the Puma den mission: what I have to photograph that could be considered spooky?
just the mouth of the cave
I shoot it more times than the roe deer in Hirsh. Is there a special angle that I have to take?
sovled, you have to walk a good 100m outside the cave, to take a full shot
thank you @teal breach
Looking for some good hotspots in Layton
how can you tell a animals weight before killing/harvesting them? i've gotten some missions that says " harvest a "insert animal"that's at least so and so pounds"
u need specific skill/perk iirc
when i examine tracks i can see approximate weight of animal on the right corner
including other info about the animal u are tracking
i believe i have that but can you tell by looking through binocs? i usually hunt in stands and blinds and such
not sure
and is their a corrilation with the animals rank to it's weight? like the whole 2-very easy rank?
It varies from animal to animal but the higher the level the animal is the heavier it should be
If you are wanting info through binos put points into the spotting info skill
Makes sense. i'm trying to get a 55lb roe deer and don't wanna keep downing roe's and have them not be it and potentially spook the fat roe
Which dlc has the mosin?
Weapon pack 2
Thanks
Currently accepting albino wolves. Dont worry, theyll go to a safe and happy home
What rare animal mission is in Yukon Walley?
None I believe
You get a diamond elk, and the werecoyote.
oh Yukon
Damn I misread that
Alright you get:
Albino Fallow on Hirsch (might need to go back to Hirsch myself hmmm)
Three rare wolves on Curato (might be mission only)
And an Albino Brown Bear on Medved
I wish there was one for vurhonga like a melanistic lion
That would be sweet. Hopefully when they come out with SRP side missions there'll be something fancy.
Alright officially hate trees
They plan on coming out with side missions for SRP?
i have 55k, what should i buy?
i already have the apex binocs, the argus scope, the 7mm, and the 300 so those are off the table
i'm thinking maybe the 45-70 or the hawk edge but idk
Do you have a good loadout able to cover all animal classes?
Do you have a good loadout able to cover all animal classes?
@robust tendon great question. I am also interested in others loadout on certain maps. For most maps I have the .338, M1, .22 and a compound bow with diff arrow grains. I’ll swap the .22 for the .243 if I’m looking to get coyotes/jackels
I hear the m1 is nice
My loadout is the 7mm, .243 and the .22 just to be safe in terms of passing harvest checks
although once I accidentally annihilated a turkey with the 7mm lol
@robust tendon I’ve messed up 2 diamonds with the wrong caliber gun! Happens! The 7mm is nice. I switched from the Ecker’s 30-06 to the M1
I use the 7mm for big game since I keep blowing all my money on things before I can buy the .338 or .300 lol
But I like most things about the 7mm, apart from reload time
On SRP my current loadout is .22, M1, .300 and my new toy the 12 gauge pump action shotgun.
Nice
For SRP I only carry the 7mm, the .22, and the Mosin, if I want more than one shot at a time.
i havent played much of srp but i carry the 22 and the 7mm cause thats really all i got
and after blasting a diamond troll turkey with 7mm i fiigured i should carry the 22
My 1st SRP loadout was the .22, 7mm and 20 gauge semi automatic shotgun but I fancied a change and swapped the 7mm for the 6.5mm and .300. I then figured out I could swap the 6.5mm for the M1 and later added the 12 gauge.
my main srp loadout for when i just wanna get quick money is the 7mm, the 22, and the razorback
should i get the 12ga pump, the hawk edge, the 45-70, the 30-30, or the 6.5mm
Fasted way to unlock red deer call and scent?
@fading lichen go on srp and shoot everything you see
while being mindful of hunting pressure of course
I killed a troll blacktail today. Scored about 157 and o was like huh? Cuz diamond is 177 and I had killed a lvl 5 a bit ago and thought it was a troll cuz it didn’t make diamond. (Heart shot it) but it scored 200??? I’m so confused now. Send help.
Lol sounds good to me!
@whole jasper did you pass the harvest check?
@prime stirrup yeah it’s on the second image
Hmm
I call bs
Now that I think of it, I have heard similar stories of animals glitching out
And their scoring changing in the lodge
Same thing happens with reindeer way off what you would think
Even his harvest page is 20 points over diamond though at 198 in the lodge he is 200
Diamond is 177
should i use the 357 or the 45?
Depends on what ammo your using. For the more powerful ammo for the 357, 357 is better but the powerful ammo for the 44 is better than the 357
And of course it depends on what species if your hunting roe deer, 357. If your hunting whitetail, 44.
@olive shoal
alright, thanks
so my SRP questline is bugged, is there anyway i can reset the map?
Where's a good blue wildebeest location with big herd in vuronha?
Im trying to grind a diamond from that
These are some wildebeest hotspots if that helps
Thanks man
either in an open field or in a lowland water area in a field and make sure you're on a reserve with goose and as for bear idk
@last hemlock do wanna voice chat in the "Lobby"
im good
I'm having issues with the mission 'A Dangerous Reaction' I'm aware that it was a bug the dev's were aware of. I thought it was patched with the most recent fix but I'm still having issues and wondering if there is something I need to do to get it to work?
At this point I would love to restart Silver Ridge Peaks but I don't know how to restart a single reserve without loosing all the progress on the account.
I don’t think a restart is map selective, all or nothing afaik.
I have the known issue when Silver Ridge came out the first mission 'A Dangerous Reaction' finishes but never completes and gets stuck.
Did you get all the trail cams? I was afraid my game would leave me stuck on that mission but I managed to move on even with the invisible sign at the end
Same here @carmine shuttle
The sign is what I'm stuck at.
I'm happy to go back and click like crazy to find it but I've never been successful
Even when I followed a Youtuber doing it.
Does it give you the interact option?
It's just not there.. I will go back and check again hopefully I can find it.
Try to go back and move around the area a bit. I had to shake my camera a couple different directions to get it to pop on that mission and one other
Wish I could help more :<
I had to crouch iirc
It really sucks SRP is my favourite by far heh
I have all three cameras but this damn sign.
Did you go to the camp?
Yeah I can go again
Try checking all the items again just to be safe
If I can remember where to go.
The one on the bench gave me a bit of trounle
Just go south of the cave, it's right next to a little lake
If I go into one of the VC channels and stream it would you check to see I'm not missing something?
There are three cameras right?
I dont think that works on mobile.
Yeah just three, they're close to the mine
Then 3 or 4 items at the camp, I cant remember exactly
I'm doing it but I feel it's bloody hopeless. I really don't want to restart my 150 hour account.
I might put a support ticket in if I can find a place.
I just checked, its 4 items at the camp
I’d wait out a fix before I gave up all my progress.
Did it give you the option to interact with all those items?
The journal may be the hardest to do
I'd say that's a good idea, but who knows when itll get fixed:<
Its already been like 2 months
I thought the last patch was the fix.
💠 A lot of missions in Silver Ridge Peaks cannot be completed, especially if you quit the game in the meantime
Oh .. Nuff said I guess.
I will continue to wait for sure, even if I did restart there is no guarantee this won't happen again anyway.
It was supposed to be. I remember them saying that the map was going to be as bug-free as possible when it dropped for consoles, but we have all/most of the problems that pc users did
Nah, dont restart.
Not worth it
It was my last resort for sure. Well thanks for the help guys.
Hopefully you can get to the end eventually, it's worth it imo. Sry we couldnt help more
Either way, the map is amazing with or without the story
Still Silver ridge best map so far.
^
Twin peaks is a hooters knock off where I live 😂
i have 56k, what weapon should i get
i either wanna get the 12ga pump, the hawk edge, or a lever action
nvm too late i got the hawk edge
💠 A lot of missions in Silver Ridge Peaks cannot be completed, especially if you quit the game in the meantime
@topaz snow No fix at the moment and i hope they will fix it at the september update or so. NEED to find ALL 3 cameras before continue with the rest or it will fail. Same if a mission tell you to Take and TRANSPORT it to somewhere else, don't stop or quit the game before it is delivered, or fail will happen as well. Have also had this issue and couldn't wait till there's a fix, so have reastarted a "New game", after knew why this happened. Also do the tasks in the right order, or this mission will fail as well. Hope this helps a bit.. 😉 🙂
Thanks Stoneface I will keep that in mind next patch.
You're welcome, i also hope they'll fix this issue
@last hemlock @topaz snow I found a fix for SRP missions but it resets every mission on every map
I wouldn't mind knowing how.
always make a backup, If you turn off steam cloud sync and delete the file %userprofile%/Documents/COTW/Saves/save folder (numbers)/missions_missiondata_adf it let me redo the missions and get past a dangerous situation or w/e the name was since I made sure to get all 3 cameras the second time lol
it won't reset money/animals/equipment/etc, just mission data
That's an awesome trick but I will only use it if the next patch doesn't fix it as I'd loose quite a lot of progress but thanks for telling me.
so uh how does harlequin duck decoys work? these birds never seem to gather in groups larger than 3
If you shoot an animal and miss the vital organs but hit AN organ, the animal will eventually die right?
If you hit no organs at all and the trail eventually stops having blood, does the animal live and run off or die eventually?
Depends on the animal and gun ur using
If you shoot a moose in the flesh with a .22 it’ll live
If you shoot a wolf in the flesh with a 7mm it’s gonna die eventually
Does anyone know if I keep my trophies in my lodge if I reset my character to lvl 1?
I don’t think so
As far as I have seen the only consequence is getting back to the animal you were going after.
Gotcha, ty
Does anyone recall, in the PF missions at one point you had to go find a supply drop that had gotten tangled in a tree and shoot it down? It’s been so long since I did the mission, I’ve tried finding that spot but nope. I had some good hunting there and I’d like to find it again.
its in a tree in the middle of a field
Lmao shut up. Do you have any idea how many trees I the middle of fields I have gone back to and it just doesn’t seem right? 🤣
The search continues
idk google it
I have tried. And I swear I can’t find the right place I found before. That’s why I resort to this obvious desperation. 🥴
:(
It’s fine I mean I run into plenty of stuff and piss off the buffalo while holding out for narnia
fuckin narnia
WELL if I know what it was called I wouldn’t be having these probs now would I ? Staaahp
I don’t think you ARE
i am a LITTLE BIT
Psh
no but seriously look up your completed missions, find the name and google that mission specifically
theres gotta be a thread with answers
Listen lady, been there done that. And I just don’t FEEEL Like I’m in the spot I want. Lol
😂
what am i like fucking 50 years old?
Yes bruh
SO AM I STOP YELLING AT ME BEFORE WE GET IN TROUBLE lmao
Golly, I kid
fight me
Maybe because it’s past the point of ‘helping’
i tried
Dishonor
on your cow

ya idk thats the only place i know of that had some bison for me
but they were all females
I give up. I’ll go to Yukon and wait for the wolves to pop out of the snow like daisies
Ah yes, how could I forget the place where my nightmares originate
Stop it Kayla you’re scaring me
hash slinging
😱
slash linging
I can’t say any of that without a lisp
Right. I’m leaving before that happens. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP AND TIPS LADY
no
So I'm relatively new to the game, I'm mainly looking to hunt deer and maybe small game, what's the best set up and way to hunt them
Find as many drink zones as you can. They’re your best bet at finding animals since they drink in open areas and usually give you a good shot. Stay with the .243 if you’re hunting mainly deer and invest in polymer tip bullets since they offer better penetration than soft-points. For small game, get the .22 ASAP. It has the right ammo for ducks, rabbits and turkey. The .243 covers every other animal class that involves deer (Up until 6 which is Elk)
And always be aware of the harvest check if you’re going for trophies - Shoot an animal less than twice, use the right ammo, get at least one vital hit, and do not shoot the trophy organ (usually skull)
Alright, should I bother using callers?
If you prefer that playstyle. Personally I have never used callers and see plenty of animals all around.
Alright, thanks m
np, good luck!
@robust tendon just managed to get a gold buck thanks for the tips
Does an animals gender affect the chances of it being a rare? Like do males have less chance of being a mela or albino than females do, or is it even ground. Im kind of just shooting any wolf I see on sight atm
Pretty sure some do, Theres someone who made a spreadsheet for all the animal rares If i remember its mean swing?
Where's the best place to hit a deer for a almost insta kill?
I've seen spreadsheets before with the common-uncommon-rare stats, but I've never heard anything about the gender making a difference before, just wanted to know which one was better to go after for a quick albino.
Lungs, lower/middle neck, or heart are the best points to aim for^
For the lungs, try to aim right behind the shoulder blade. Theres a few videos out there detailing it a bit better
Is it better to slaughter a whole herd to increase diamond chance or is it better to take it slow and preventing the need zone to disappeared? (Singleplayer)
Cant speak from personal experience, but I've heard many ppl say that it's best to kill all the males to increase the chances, but to keep the zone alive.
@last hemlock get the 270 too
@rigid cargo not sure if you meant the first or second area, but the first has always been kind to me. I've gotten some pretty big game around there.
hey i just bought the nv dlc and the bow isint showing the range or the green dot im seeing in the videos of it and im wondering why
Care to be more specific?
make sure you equip it
Best rifle to use for deer and moose? Other then tut 243
Hello, which mission is for the Sombra wolf in Cuatro?
Can someone explain me this mission, I have gotten 3 animals that were in 30m but it didn't check it
make sure you're in the right region if it tells you and you're using the right gun
if so then the mission is probably bugged
oh is it cuatro?
Ive tried to hunt more ibex so i can get the 2nd check. But no all animals have been 26-30
Yes
i have the same issue i had to get like, 20 meters in for it to register
Im trying to get the Sombra wolf
i ended up using a bow cuz of how close i had to get
So what do you think I should do ?
@last hemlock for deer (assuming you mean whitetail and such), the best rifles are the 7mm, the m1, and the 30-06
for moose the best rifle is probably the 300, but the 7mm and the 338 are also good
also i know i'm super late lol
the 7mm can take on both whitetail and moose so it's a great all rounder
so can the m1 and the 30-06, but the 7mm is the most powerful of the 3
Where u get the 300
And how did 30-06 count as 4-8 when it have almost the same stat as 7mm
Like the polymer tip for both round us the same but the only difference is the one point of expansion
no idea tbh
Dude, if the 30-06 could take class 9 or we had a 7mm bolt rifle, I'd shit myself
Not for real, that'd be gross
Ye
the 300 is part of the yukon dlc @final glacier
probably not
from what i've heard it has insane drop
if you want a big game rifle i highly recommend the 300
if you don't have the yukon dlc then get the 7mm or the 338
You've offended the best gun in the game
@echo shadow I'm not 100% about this but I think you need to complete some more side missions. I remember the missions in layton unlocking as you progress through different challenges
I hate the drilling rifle
Used it in a diamond blacktail thinking it was 4-9
Don’t plan on using it again
thats on you
not the rifle
Yea what Randy said
I’m just meming, lol. Tbh tho the gun isn’t the greatest
ive only ever used the 7mm and the 243 lmao
once i get some more money and levels and stuff imma try some other things out
well 22. but eh
I’d go for the 300
For me, it depends what map I'm on
I also put my skill into 3 extra points of backpack space
i think im level 17 
I just don’t bring callers
Never run out of space

I have most callers for every map in my bag
i carry a bow aa 22 and a 7mm
its easier to switch inbetween maps by just carrying everything you need for every map
I don’t recommend that
why not
You have nothing for classes 2-3
Other than a bow
what animals are 2-3
I really only hunt big and tiny game
Check the pinned spreadsheet
My current loadout is 30-30, .22, 7.62mm, and 7mm
Covered class 1-9
B4 that i run 7mm, 7.62mm, m1, and something for small game (revolver, bow, .22)
i sometimes switch the bow with the 243 but i rarely use either cause i hunt bigger game or smallest game
Best place to find bears in Mount kraken?
Cheers
first time being up at that lake and i saw alot of bears
from the outpost upwards
roonache bridge thing
I'm going after elk moose and deer, I know the 270 is good for deer what's the better rifle for elk and moose?
7mm
In terms of versatility, it's hard to beat the 7mm.
best gun 
Most versatile rifle yes but I prefer the .300 for class 8 & 9 animals.
7mm best
pesäpallomaila best against sonni
:ipi2:
fuk
y no other emotes available on this server
Do missions reset? Because I screwed up on 1 mission I had to harvest a European bison at night but I accidently harvested it at day
you can't fail missions
just do it again but this time, do it right when night starts so you have time
I set it to night the bison I shot is resetting I guess
?
what
i mean respawns are a thing but you're gonna have to shoot some other one in the mean time
I preferred my m1 over the 7mm any day because ping
But ping
Must... Need... Ping
Jk hehe
7mm is not that bad tho, i like the reload animation
Ye
Also, how is the minie ball not class 9 compatible?
40 pen
30 expansion
200mm effective range
do u guys prefer killing animals or do quest to lvl up quick
animals are fun but missions are easy
Depends. Many missions are easy but some can be real bastards
That one in layton where u have to kill coyote with 270
Its just hurts me
Like why are we using class 4 ammo with class 2 coyote
^
cause fuck coyotes
small hard to hit cunts
thats why i hunt big game 
bigger target
i think this may be wrong channel but ive had 3 times where ive hit a deer
run over
and theres no blood, no footsteps etc
i even watch them get hit, sprawl to ground, bleed and run away
then i get there no nothing so i can even track em
atvs?
No harm to them
im not talking about atvs
Are you talking about cotw?
Ohhh
i run over to where i hit it
im explaining order of events
hit deer
run over to sit of snipping
no blood no tracks
YEs i understand now but it didnt sound like what it is
kk soz
maybe hit your shots ? you could be missing or maybe running to the wrong spot
If it's close on the side of map, the animal could run off the grid, (happened me twice), lovely shot, great trophy, and "there goes my prey, bybye", just gone forever !
- Yes maybe i am missing shots, im not the best at this game, even if i dont why is there 0 tracks when i see them run away
- All of them were stanbding next to a feature like a rock or tree and i ran to the rock and tree in those cases
nope in the middle of cheetah
hm, i call it sometime "Cotw Magic" hehhe,
unbelievable things happen regularly
😉
i understand that may be the case but considering im new and i am poor, it would really helpsies if i could get the corpse
shoot them and watch them before moving see where they go and sorta follow that they might just have forgotten to leave tracks where they were shot
oh well
ye i did
i stayed scoped in until the deer ran into the bushes
no footsteps
like 0 not even from another animal
any who thanks for helps ill just go back to it
thanks guys
A good way is to 'Spot' it with binocular, then shoot it, the Spotted animal will show on your map where it exact was at the moment of spotting.. is very helpful
you're welcome, it happened to me as well, even a distance of 20meter, aimed carefully, shot it its lungs, it ran away but never saw blood or found it again, since then for make sure, hwen i've the time, spot the animal, then try to take it down. Enjoy your hunt 🙂
Quick q
Im camping out to hunt some coyote and im using the predator caller
How often should i use it
Like every 10mins
5mins
?
@last hemlock I JUST GOT A BLACKTAIL DEER THANKS TO UR SPOTTING ADVICE
thanks man
Do aniimals get tired
Been chasing this bear for an hour
Wont stop trotting and running
bro
i cant hit an organ
every shot i take is "non vital organ"
and is "very low bleed rate"
and they get away
i aim for head, chest, abdomend and i can never do it
idk if im trash or im missing something
it's quite easy to hit an animal in lung(s) when its sideways
somewhere in here
pretty much the same with most animals
Ah
i just hit a deer literally right there just then
straight thru the lung
i got a kill
nice
Thats just the dimensions of the animal's rack
If u interested in it, u can take a look, i don't bother
Is this a bugged diamond?
How is that bugged im confused
2 lvl 3 diamond mule deers
No in Layton i got 7 lvl 5 blacktail
I had 3 diamonds today in the morning
I ended up with 21
Man where in the world do these dumb coyotes hide on Layton
Fax, where are these coyotes
mount kraken
Not just coyote tbf, pretty much any little animals is hard to find
what time is best for gray wolves
@last hemlock i have something that'll help you
dmed
ik this isn't cotw related but idk why ps4 doesn't have discord
question
if i switch to another reserve and play
do i have to start from the beginning
can i go back to the first reserve or is my save for that reserve wiped
are trophy lodges account based or reserve based
if i go to another reserve can i access the previous reserves trophy lodge
@rigid prawn no, you should be able to pull up the map and hit the button to switch reserves.
trophy lodges are also account based
doesnt matter what reserve you're on, your lodge is separate thing
okay and if i switch reserve can i come back to the first one and keep going
yes
like with missions
you can go to whatever reserve you want
missions will bug out though so be careful about updates and such
k thank you
np
what do all these mean
what is main beam lenght
i dont know what a,b,c,d,e or f are
All parts of scoring the rack
Like e is he had 14 points
C is the width between his horns in the front, and so on
Take a look at the hunter classics score sheets on google and just read them
Cotw it’s simplified via a lot but it pretty much explains the entire antler.
^ thats what i did
how many gb cotw have with all dlc?
~56GB installed
Some of my missions have been resetted in Hirschfelden
How do I get them completed again.
~56GB installed
@tepid kraken with all dlc?
yes @neat bramble 57 GB according to my steam (I got all DLC installed)
kk thank you
yw
I think you always have all dlc installed but active only bought or activated by someone's multiplayer server. e.g. map of alaska
same here
Hunting with a crossbow scope at a beginner level should I?
hi, just downloaded the game via steam, can't start - always crashes, error report screen appears immediately. fresh windows 10 installation, directx, graphics card driver up to date. ryzen 5, radeon 290. any hints?
If I dont pass all the harvest checks on lets say a mythical, can is still respawn as something better?
Anyone have any tips on hunting Iberian Wolfs? Place and Time would be helpful.
I've been at it for a while and I can't even find their tracks for whatever reason.
@last hemlock it can respawn as a mythical or better
@vagrant wolf u can refference to this table i found on reddit, red for rest, blue for drink, green for eat
Thanks
@hearty dove definitely, it's probably the best of all bows. The second best might be the longbow.
Imo
Just a question regarding ducks: Do you have to place both gender decoys down? I know that max effectiveness is 20 but i only have place in my loadout for 20 of one gender, not 10 male and 10 female ones.
Does anyone have maps for animal locations or zones?
In the following chapters you can find completely new crafted Animal Location Maps for all reserves.
The maps have been put together of 32 images each, so the resolution is as high as possible befor
How long does it take for the resting cost to reset?
Is it reasonable to want to pursue a max weight track on the assumption that it’s max level without knowing just because it keeps on spooking before you can see it
id say so
max level or not its still gonna be an animal
it wont be pointless if it isnt
if u killed a female deer, would it respawn as a male or no
we aren't 100% sure how respawns work
but im gonna say no
they might have a chance to respawn as a rare fur variant tho
Ye, i fucked up a mythical red deer
Anyway, best location for red deer in hirsh?
Or a consistent location with herds
thatd be cool to know
Ive heard they are popular in jonsdorf, bonsdorf, mullerwald, and rathenfeld
But so far i only found a herd with 2 males in jonsdorf
i got my first red deer near the second lookout point the day of the update and i think he scored gold 
dont red deer live in cuatro too?
yes
id rather hunt cuatro than hirsh tbh
val des bois would be better
oh thats fair
I have a love hate relationship for hirsh, good animals, kind of a bad map
But ill be waiting for the Halloween sale so i can cop cuatro and prague
What's the best way to get a picture of Mr Black?
just use scent blocker and crawl or you can just say fuck it and use some cheats
which im fine with you do you
but i suggest you dont
use cheats
Rathenfeld, up north where you find first tower and outpost, follow the road there where you can go to the left, will find on that corner and to the left/west also. Is one of the spots where will find Red Deer, also there to the right on the water, couple of interesting spots to find Red Deer as well. Of course it's good to read in the menus about them, then will know when they're most active etc (is actually not bad to read about most animals you'd like to hunt etc)
Alright thx
Since the footstep audio is completely bugged I've gone duck hunting. do ducks have "need zone times" i went to a spot that people swear by and haven't seen a single shred of evidence ducks even exist lol

@crude ruin which ones are you after its actually really easy to get any duck just put tents around all the lake locations and hop between them set ups are not needed.
take a 22 lr and shoot shoot shoot
when someone posts a screenshot of a harvest screen, how do you tell if it's hacked?
@last hemlock wdym?
like level and the score?
because some people edit their files to spawn impossible animals like a max weight lvl 1 animal
ohh
I just see people will post an animal sometimes and everyone calls them out and I was just curious as to how people know?
oh
but you answered my question I think
so if you see something like a lvl 3 max weight bison it is hacked, near 100 percent
just anything super unrealistic is probably hacked
@proper sable Mallard in lakon. i've gotten 4 spots where people swear by and no luck.
i prefer birdshot in shotguns but that's just me.
use the 22lr and put tents on all the lakes especially the middle ones and the bottom left one.
also...kill all the level 2 1-2kg ducks
shouldnt take long to get a level 3 diamond doing that
I have been but no luck having any ducks coming. got 20 decoys and the ground blinds but no luck. guess it's just that. luck. it's fun to just chill by the water cause the audio is fantastic in the game so no biggie really.
no decoys need drop tents on all water
Anyone had any trouble with the hit boxes? Has a perfect shot on a diamond potential elk. 165 yards and zeroed for 164. Nothing was in the way was a clear shot. Shot three times all dead perfect and nothing? Anyone having the same issues on SRP?
I think thats a glitch, it happened to me once
Alright thx
@final glacier you're welcome..
I think for everyone this could be a interesting feature to know, about some ballistics when use the close, middle, and long range perk. Thx for the writer DoorLockNar of this treasure. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2079460161
can someone help
without more information, no
what were you doing when it crashed? can you replicate the problem?
everytime i play the game in steam this happens within 1-8 seconds
i can barely have the application running without this problem
have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
authenticated your files?
yep, this has happened on 2 devices so far
lemme make sure I can run rq
i just re installed it too
do you happen to have a friend/second steam account that also has the game?
can you log into that account and see if it will run under the second account on the broken machine?
well i don't know if he will let me
but
i can borrow the game on a 2nd account, as it let me do that with other games
can you do that and run it?
yeah, can i dm you when i do it, I must leave
no just to go offline as i need to do something irl
uh depends? I go to bed in four hours
i won't be doing it until tomorrow most likely
I'll likely be around, just ping me here
it's good to keep troubleshooting in this channel in case anyone else is having/has similar issues
sounds good
it could be a glitch for people that just installed
Or bought the game
also, did you send the crash report?
yep
see ya
Hey does anyone have a clue where the whitetail are? I understand that their zones changed but I’ve searched what feels like the whole map and have seen maybe one small herd.
Is this a bug or how much hunting pressure do I need to have?
The pressure will show as bright pink when it's sufficient. Around 4 kills in almost the exact same spot (or VERY close) should do it.
Ok thanks
Yeah you need tier 4 in one spot
3 kills on the same spot got it done.
@last hemlock still not working, reinstalled steam and the game
Are you sure you have enough RAM?
yes, i pinpointed problem using event viewrr
@last hemlock apparently it's the .exe file that is doing it
would you like my error code?
So is their a way i could get keen senses? or am i boned. the perks that i've circled are really essential for me but the ones that i half crossed i could go without. should i spend 90% of my wallet to reset my perks or am i boned?
you need all the tier 2s to unlock that tier 3?
I really don't know. that's what i'm kinda asking. do i have enough future skill points to unlock keen senses or do i have to respec my guy. and if i do reset my skills could i have all the perks that i circled and maybe the one that i crossed that i'm lukewarm about
you need 5 skill spoints to unlock tier 3 i believe
So i'd have to reset my perks then cause i'm level 54
so i'd only get maybe 2 points till 60
no problem i'm too slow to work all this out lol. But i won't be able to just play on and get it right?
9 points for tier 3 and 13 for tier 4
5 for tier 2
just checked since im only level 20 
hmm..does the 45-70 hit as hard as the 7mm?
Need 5 points for get tier 3, and 9 points for get tier 4, 13 points to get tier 5.
Woeps, saw to late that Randy already told about it, hehhe 🙂
no
its 5 for tier 2 9 for tier 3 and 13 for tier 4 
Tier 2 comes open after got/used your first point, and 5 points for tier 3 etc
Ah, first tier is Tier 0, dang. So yes, is like Randy said, grrr i was calling the first one tier1 instead of 0. hm, my brain getting old a bit i guess 😄
i only corrected as a joke no worries i did the same thing earlier
man i'm realizing how bad i am at math. so can i just keep leveling up and i'll get the keen sences perk or would i have to reset my skills?
How do i find drinking spots?
go to water i believe@regal mango
Yeah but how do I unlock the thing

Anyone else have their missions on silver ridge peaks glitch out after completing one. It will not advance to the next mission
I finished SRP missions
But im trying to do this side mission but I don't know how to get the 3 boars in bohndorf lake
Well might just be mine then. That sucks. I Only got a few done and now it’s glitched
Maybe just restart COTW..?
The srp missions have been messed up
Yes
But no boar tracks no boar anything I have found
Its like their just not anywhere near the lake
If you know the boar drink times I would try going to the lake at that time and use the caller to see if any is in the area
okay then
I haven’t got to that mission yet but thats the way i would do it
