@stuck pagoda Need to find All 3 cameras before continue and do it in right order. Also some other missions if have to take something and transport it, don't quit before it's delivered, or it fails too. Not sure when they going to fix it, it's for a while this problem exist..

Are ducks glitched or something?

Just got back into cotw after a break and have been searching all the lakes at layton and havent seen or heard a single duck yet.

tender coral
#

Go to the river in the north east of Layton that goes up and out of the map, they are normally all up there.

small moth
#

No, go to roonache lake or more of the lakes on the west side of layton and you find ducks

tender coral
#

There is also a good spot

#

Basically top right and bottom left of the map and you’ll find them

Hey I just got the game and am downloading it now and am wondering if controller has an advantage in stealth/not getting detected, or if you can play just as well with kb+m? Appreciate if anyone who knows this can help me

#

Keyboard and mouse is much better

#

keyboard and mouse is 1000x better

Controller isn’t bad when you get used to it, but that is the hard part

I’m looking to find a really laggy server can anyone help me out

@meager rampart why laggy

@meager rampart view this as a warning, go read the rules again please. Specifically rule K. Yes this is exploiting something in game but is viewed as cheating.

As I think many people have wondered what kind of Turkey is that on the SRP reserve logo when you want to join SRP reserve.

dark mango
#

could somebody post an up to date image of trophy ratings, classes, need zone times, etc?

#

or just confirm minimum diamond plain bison in srp is 203

#

cause I just killed a 205.3 and it was a gold

jovial eagle
#

Idk what to do in this game anymore lol,I mean the only place where I can really hunt in is Layton lake because I have a lot of feed zones there,but I dont find any other animals in my 2 other maps (Hirschfelden and Cuastro) I mean I just walk around for 1.5 Hours without seeing anything and the bad thing is that I wasted aprox. 9 euros on cuastro and I dont kill anything is there a guide for cuastro?

#

I just joined last montj

#

#

I have played classic for 1.5 years tho

remote monolith
#

do you have the perk that reduces walking noise?

dark mango
#

you don't find animals or you don't find animals NOR need zones?

#

exploring the surroundings of water bodies you should find plenty of drink zones

robust tendon
#

@jovial eagle On cuatro there is a lake in the northeast, on a fresh map there will be a LOT of animals there all day but especially in the morning (around 6am) when red deer drink time is. my advice is go there

jovial eagle
#

I dont see anything than forest

#

I dont even get warning calls

#

The only lake where I had luck on cuatro was some lake in the north with a small cliff but hunting pressure is too high because I killed too many beceite there but since this I dont see anything there ( it is aprox. 1 week since I dont see anything)

last hemlock
#

Hunt animals drink times

#

You will see tons

The game is very easy once you learn the times

#

Anyone know where good spots at Layton lake to find good moose?
@meager rampart If go southwest under the bridge before reach Hope's camp, will find nice moose, also when going to the east from Hopes's camp, at the part of the land that seems look like a point, will also find moose

last hemlock
#

when thehunter cotw sales are going to?

meager rampart
#

I found a great spot actually

#

Go to the spot bring a tree stand and place it right next to the water you get a lot of elk moose and some groups of white tail deer pass through there I would suggest sleeping until it is very late at night and going there and setting up during the night time do you usually find lots of elk and deer that walk through there in the night and then just wait out the day tons of animals walk through there every day

#

Very good spot if you’re looking to get some good trophy elk and moose

#

I mean just a regular stand

#

@last hemlock

#

@last hemlock I’ll check out ur spots too

#

I’ve been sitting here and I’ve gotten a ton of elk and the good thing is that once you shoot even if you shoot by accident they usually come back I actually just got a level five elk with amazing looking antlers

So occasionally you’ll get some good high levels

My best guess is a visual glitch..

Maybe the lvl 4 turkey??

But looks sick.

It’s a glitch and they used it as the reserve banner for who knows what reason.

Depends whats wrong?

I can't go hunting, he's making a mistake.

#

İt says you don't have enough storage in error

#

But there's enough storage on the case.

stable monolith
#

@meager plover that was the first model of the turkeys before SRP released

meager plover
#

Thanks.

last hemlock
#

And they still used it to advertise the reserve smh

#

At least update the model

last hemlock
#

yeah it's rough looking at that being the reserve pic. I would have preferred a level 5 rme chilling by a mountain.

robust tendon
#

For the next reserve it would be cool if there was a competition where beta testers could submit screenshots and the best screenshot became the reserve cover photo

last hemlock
#

^ would be nice

#

or make a generic one until the map comes out. Give players one week to take a really nice pic for the reserve and the winner gets it as the official picture.

last hemlock

Would be nice to have pheasants at some maps (including Hirschfelden)

#

Is the grey turkey fur variation even in the game? Ive seen almost every fur variation: Ive seen melanistic , albino, light brown. Only those that i dont have is Leucistic and Grey

hot kettle
#

What’s that called

stable monolith
#

Yeah I suppose the grey is what is being shown in the above photo

#

But I dont think there is a grey in the game although Ive heard its a variation

last hemlock
#

It’s broken I’m pretty sure, I haven’t seen one since the first stream

stable monolith

Yeah Ima probably bring it up in bug reports or one of the COTW streams

#

what is the issue with the 'dangerous reaction' mission in srp? is there anything I can do to avoid it?

#

I have just been offered it, I'd like to know if it's worth the try or I should leave it until it's fixed

dark mango
#

do bighorn sheep, mountain goat and pronghorn have callers?

wise flame
#

No, none of those animals have callers

tender coral
#

@dark mango there is a way to get through the dangerous reaction mission, theres a few tutorial videos of it on youtube if you search it. the issue with it is you can essentially 'skip' an objective of it and it screws the mission up

dark mango
#

thank you, I'll take a look

are mountain lions attracted by any of the predator callers?

@dark mango pretty sure the devs are aware of an issue with that mission too. It seems it works for some and doesn’t work for others. Hopefully they get us fixed soon

Also tells that we can get away most of times with the 150m (standart) range setting when use that close/far perk for the riffles, instead of the 75m (close) range

@quaint anchor Flinter made a good video about weapon packs, all have good and less good ones.

quaint anchor
#

Thanks!

dark mango
#

weapon pack 1 has the cb-165 crossbow for short range (and the .22lr, the only class 1 rifle); weapon pack 3 has the 30.06 for classes 4-8, I don't own this pack myself but if I'm not wrong this is a very popular weapon

#

I think the high tech pack includes some archery stuff (a sight I think), otherwise people don't seem to like it

#

overall, every pack usually has 1 or 2 very useful/powerful weapons, and the rest is meh, situational at best

quaint anchor

Smoking barrels dlc has the M1 which is better than the bolt action 30-06 IMHO.

hello I wanted to resume the game after a break but I have a problem when I launch the game I have the load before the menu which loads infinitely the music in loop like the logo of chargment any idea ??

first thing I'd do is check integrity of files on steam (assuming you play on pc)

#

then I'd reinstall (this shouldn't delete your savegame but I'd backup it just in case)

if nothing works, check if your gpu ddivrs are up to date

Can anyone help me, i'm stuck at the mission where you have to create hunting pressure in the mullerwald straw fields . I kill like 4-5 animals so it's bright pink but nothing is triggering etc. been stuck on this mission for half a year now and need to complete it to continue on the main story line of Hirshenfeld. Does it have to be boars killed only?

iirc you need to create pressure in three different spots inside that region, not all the pressure in the very same place

Im not new to the game but I just cant get money and Im always missing my shots any help?

What shots are you missing? Long range? Short range? All of them?

For quick money, do story missions - they payout thousands and usually are simply traveling from A to B

autumn kelp
#

Mostly long range and thanks Ill do them.

robust tendon
#

Do you have the Zeroing perk unlocked?

serene tartan
#

Just keep walking until you find the highlights. Look for the actual tracks and it should give to a general path to follow. I have the active tracks to the torch red color so they are easy to spot. Once you are finding continuous tracks just keep follow. You’ll find droppings as well. These will give you an estimate on when the tracked animal was there last. If the track says old or very old, I typically won’t keep following unless I know exactly what zone they are going to

#

@last hemlock

#

AimFix is live on twitch right now. He’s a good guy to watch to learn how the tracks work

#

@last hemlock I definitely recommend changing the color and also using the hunter mate to help guide you as well

From harvesting animals and doing missions mostly

#

And hunt club which you can find in the bottom left of the pause menu which offers challenges for you to complete for money

Although it glitches a lot so you might get free money sometimes

Is there anyway to make this game behave better with two monitors? For awhile, I used a /borderless setting when launching and set some config option which seemed to help. Now, it seems to have reverted back to its old self, minimizing when I interact with the second monitor.

remote monolith
#

i have that too, havent found a fix yet.

ivory wraith
#

Particularly annoying when you minimize and click back in, only to forget to have switched to a non firing slot and have it scare everything around you

#

I thought I had found a fix for it, but maybe I am mis-remembering. First time playing since the footprint sounds vanished.

signal gyro
#

It's been that way for as long as I can remember. I've just learned to right click instead of left when returning to the game.

#

Actually.... I'm checking now and mine seems to be behaving correctly.

ivory wraith
#

I can't tell which is scarier, when I use to know there were bears all around me that I couldn't see, or all the jump scares Im getting when I turn and there is a Moose or some other animal 5 feet from me that I never noticed

signal gyro
#

/borderless as a launch option and windowed mode on for in-game settings is my current configuration.

ivory wraith
#

That is what I have, but it seems to not be working anymore for me

#

I did get a new cpu, but I cant imagine that changed anything

#

Does your windows key break you out of the game?

#

I was pretty sure I had that working with the setup you described before

#

But now, doesn't seem to be the case

signal gyro
#

No, Windows key does nothing.

#

Alt tab or what I normally do is hit M and open the map seems to be working fine though.

#

I do the map technique in case I forget and left click. LOL

ivory wraith
#

Yea, I thought I use to be able to do that and keep it from being minimized too. Maybe I have to go back into config again

#

I try to remember to do that.. but I often forget

signal gyro
#

Shouldn't be anything in the config that needs changed.

ivory wraith
#

I know I changed something in the config, and when I did that, it wouldnt let me change window or fullscreen in game anymore. Well, it would, but I couldn't apply

#

There was when I did it, I think because when I originally applied the /borderless option, I was in full screen or vice versa

#

Then I manually had to change it in config, because it would no longer respond to apply in game

signal gyro
#

Applying changes in-game can sometimes be a pain. You need to click the name of the setting instead of apply. It usually works fine at the main menu though.

#

So... if I set it to /borderless and then change the game to Fullscreen instead of Windowed if acts the way yours does. If set to windowed mode it functions as intended. Maybe yours is stuck in Fullscreen mode?

ivory wraith
#

lol idk what I just did

#

Its now in "8bit mode"

#

I think what it did was put it in 800 x 600 or something, but scale it to borderless fullscreen

#

haha oh man, but now the mapping for the curser doesnt line up with the display

#

So I have to guess where I am in the menu

#

Had to alt f4 out of that. whatever I did, the pc really didnt like it

signal gyro
#

HA

ivory wraith
#

haha idk, it didnt minimize for 1 click

#

then it did

#

At least I got it back to a normal resolution

#

Oh, I don't remember this steam option before. What is Steam Input Per-Game Setting

#

Is that talking about command line input

#

or actual keyboard / mouse input

#

hey! Its still clunky, but not minimizing

#

We did it!

say if you are playing and you get called away for dinner do you just have to go prone in game or leave or is there some way to pause the game

ashen cosmos
#

Not that I’ve seen.

feral meteor
#

why isnt that a thing like it is on classic? being able to pause a single player campaign would be a blessing

feral meteor
#

Any tips on how to play well, I'm pretty good at classic but cotw is pretty different and I can't pause

#

I'm not the best with the game yet as I've no one to teach me in game, and in classic I'm used to being able to walk through bushes etc. Without making noise to scare away the animals

#

Also what's the best thing to do when you say, find a herd feeding and try to call in the bucks, but some females from the herd make the walk around first but you really want the males but aren't confident about your shot

dark mango
#

females and low level males will always come first to your calls... that's why I stopped using them

#

so you want to find the best animal in the group and to position yourself to have a good shot... after that, if you're able to shoot a second and third time, fine; if not, low level animals will probably come back after a while

For Cape Buffalo does the 7mm work? I have Polymer tipped bullets and hit them at 170m twice but no Lung shot. Looked good on the screen and was definitely in the side behind the leg. Was a Mythical and he ran me over. Did the same to a very hard and he laughed at the bullet. Am I too far away?

Anyone on PS4 willing to show me what I’m doing wrong? I can’t seem to get kills... hardly find any animals. Follow tracks to dead ends all the time. And can’t make any money to upgrade to purchase anything. Been trying for over a year off and on... love the game, but can’t seem to get really into it when I get a kill once a week if I’m lucky.

#

I’d ask a specific question about what I’m doing wrong, but I wouldn’t even know where to start... lol

sonic ore
#

Not on PS4, but typically people scare them off via sight/sound. You can check your codex under "Hunter Profile" to get an idea.

#

Finding drink zones by water, spotting them from far away will get you to see the most animals.

jovial eagle
#

What is a great way to hunt Yotes?

dark mango
#

@slim light as PDubbs said, the most likely reason for your problem is you scare animals off; as a rule of thumb, don't run unless you know what you're doing, crouch when you get to a very fresh poo
and most of all, stalk around water bodies, hide in the bushes and you'll see plenty of animals going to drink

slim light
#

Thanks @dark mango and @sonic ore. How do u suggest getting to these areas? Run? Drive? Walk? I feel like I get there and nothing happens. Am I clearing the area trying to get there? Or on my way I see a track and follow it to nothing. I just can’t seem to advance. One day I sat in a blind for 7 real life hours. And saw 1 doe. Lol

sonic ore
#

@slim light If it is really far away, I use an ATV, but those scare everything within 400 yards. Otherwise, when approaching a zone, I tend to run until about 400 yards, walk in to 300. then slow crouch at 200 and start calling/glassing/listening with pauses.

#

Always approach with the wind blowing away from the zone.

#

For picking up zones, I'll walk up a river system and spot animals, again having the wind blow away from the opposite shoreline I'm glassing.

#

Can do the same with lakes

#

The spreadsheets with times help, go to the water when things are drinking. In the beginning, stick with deer until you can get high caliber weapon, like .270 with poly tips.

last hemlock
#

Huge question. Im playing Hirshfelden, I can't find any animals or animal sign, Im walking in Schonfeldt Fields and just hear the craziest noise. Sounded like a creature calling out nonstop for like 3 minutes, but I get no prompt to see a call and it kinda sounds heinous, like a turnkey gone insane or something.

Did they add creatures into the old maps for Halloween?

#

Im serious though. Im a level 60 hunter and there's no animals in any of the old maps, not even sign

#

What the heck. Im walking around and I hear it again! No indication whatsoever, and its driving my dog crazy.

#

I finally got a Fox to register, but it doesn't sound like any fox I've heard, the thing sounds distressed

dark mango
#

@slim light try first layton, or any other map with large plains where you have plenty of visibility and can spot animals from afar
don't worry too much on approaching lakes/rivers, even if you scare animals nearby, you still should be able to see those from the opposite side (just keep in mind the game only renders up to 420m away)

#

use the spray that kills your own smell, it helps a bit

#

@last hemlock sfx don't work well right now

#

and as for the population, maybe you want to reset it

#

there are maps less populated than others though

#

hirschfelden has few animals, silver ridge is blooming with them

Hello, I don't suppose anyone would mind helping answer a few questions? There's a few things I'm not entirely sure about, and I want to understand before actually spending £70 on buying the game.

#

Something I'd like to know, is how can you find out the maximum possible weight an animal can be? In a video of a YouTuber I watch he talks about how some of his best Diamond trophies on the new scoring system were both the 'Highest maximum score and weight'

But how exactly do you know what the highest score an animal can achieve is, and their weight? Is there a chart somewhere that lists what the maximum is? Is it listed somewhere in the game?

robust tendon
#

there is a chart, i can try and find it to give you the link if you want

kindred plinth
#

I would love that thank you.

#

The only charts I've seen merely list what weight is needed for an animal to be Diamond rank, but never state what the maximum weight an animal can be is.

robust tendon
kindred plinth
#

Thank you both, they'll be extremely helpful. :D
One other thing, is there a weight limit depending on gender? For example, it says a Gemsbok can be a maximum weight of 240kg, but is that for both males and females?

robust tendon
#

males will always be heavier than females i think

#

and females can almost never make diamond

clever bloom
#

can they ever make diamond?

robust tendon
#

some can

#

gemsbok can

clever bloom
#

oh, almost never hunted them

robust tendon
#

but that’s because females have the same horn sizes as the males

clever bloom
#

I see

#

never spent much time on vurhonga.. not a fan

robust tendon
#

it’s pretty empty

#

but has very nice wildlife

clever bloom
#

i spend most my time on layton, yukon and fernando

prime stirrup
#

Actually gemsbok are one of the only animals where horn size scales are swapped

#

The females are generally bigger than males

#

You see a lot of diamond female gemsbok but I’ve only ever seen like 4 diamond male gemsbok posted.

#

Even a level 4 female can make diamond but the male HAS to be level 5 and even then it’s chances are low

I’ve gotten no diamond or rare animal on Parque and I know usually when you buy a map it starts out with a few diamonds and rares so I’m wondering if I’m missing a hotspot or something

Hey all question , dont really understand the weapons and ammo just yet anyone that can help me out?

trying to hunt bear and blacktail atm for a mission im level 7 any advice which weapon to take

barren agate
#

The best thing I can suggest to you @ROCK3TH is to get the weapon pack with the 30-06 rifle. For me it was a game changer early on and you can hunt the two animals you mentioned with it.

#

also use polymer tip rounds whenever possible as they have alot more penitration which is rewarded in this game. It also brings the animal down faster so less tracking involved

junior falcon

Gotcha i have that weapon thanks alot

are there any lures or callers for bear

No lures for bears, they are easy enough to find as they are very vocal when you get near them. I use 90 fov, but it's different whoever you ask.

Also i saw i was suddenly logged out on the Hunt Club, and could not activate it, have restarted the game and then it worked, it counts, but i still don't see anything that it gives me the extra ingame money, and yes, i got the 7 required 100 quick kills needed (actually i did 8 quick kills and got no extra money at all. but it counts them in the hunt Club menu, which i find very weird.

So I've leveled up twice now and haven't received any perk or skill points, any one know what's up?

@last hemlock
Best way to get pistol score is to use the 45 and go to hirsh. and hunt female fallows and roe. Wild boar is a good way to level up.

#

@last hemlock
You past level 36 ??
If so you only level up every 3

#

@last hemlock yea, just hit lvl 39, is there any way off maxing all skills and perk?

#

At the end of 39 you will level up

#

Okay

#

Max skills is 22
Perks same

#

At level 60 that's it.
When I say 22 that is each pick. So like skill tracking has 3 things for skill points and when looking at codes it will only show 1, because it is showing each level

What are some good spots for gredos and south eastern ibex

Is there anyway to get a deer that disappeared?

Not really. Last time I was able to confirm one my game crashed. but maybe theres a way

scenic patrol

Hey does anyone know what would happen if one started a public multiplayer session, people joined, one then left their session and the others continued to hunt?

Would the pressure zones, need zones, dead animals etc from those that joined be on the old hosts map when they get back on?

Or would that then become a direct copy of the original hosts map but nothing will actually be different to when the host left?

I ask this as I was wondering if I left my own session and different people kept joining it could theoretically never end and I would have no control over it

last hemlock
#

As soon as the host leaves, someone can shoot all the diamonds on that map and the host will still have them on his/hers

arctic moth
#

Yea

scenic patrol
#

So no changes occur to the hosts map whatsoever from the moment they leave?

arctic moth
#

Nope

scenic patrol
#

Ok thank you!

main sphinx
#

So do diamonds depend just on looks or also how well you hit them? I’ve gotten some golds with one shot drops but never a diamond. If I mess up a shot on a diamond, will it de-rank?

sonic ore
#

Yes, if you don't past the harvest check, you get dropped one trophy level.

#

That applies to all levels, not just diamond

Hey i have a question

#

what weapon/weapon pack is the best for hunting in vurhoga savanna

#

cuz idk to much bout the guns that is good for the animals there

#

im sry if im in the wrong channel again to ask a question

dark mango
#

it all depends on what animals you want to hunt, cause every map has low, mid and high class animals

#

if you like class 1 ones (rabbits, turkeys or, in vurhonga, hares), the .22lr is a must; it's in pack 1 iirc

#

the map itself includes the .470, which is a c9 rifle with very short range that many people don't seem to like

torn timber
#

i kinda like to hunt the bigger animals

#

prob like class 3 or 4

dark mango
#

in weapon pack 2 you have the solokhin (classes 3-7) and the grelck, which you can use as a shotgun (classes 1-7 with different ammo) or as a rifle (classes 5-9)

#

you might also consider archery, though I don't do it myself, maybe somebody could give you advice on this

#

if you're a newcomer, you might want to stick to the .243, which is a good rifle (2-6)

torn timber
#

ok ty for the help

#

imma try and look into it

#

apprciate the help

hardy lion

so guys, when a mission is to hunt from a ground blind, for example 'go to Hope's Camp in Balmont and harvest a kill downed from a ground blind'

I have to use one of the preset, DIY-built $1700 ones already in the map right? I can't use the DLC 'tent' style blinds?

you're welcomee

so I posted in general already but figured I should post here too:

If you get a mission saying 'harvest animal downed from a ground blind'

the DLC 'tent' ground blinds DO count, not just the wooden ones you can build.

But then wat about the waiting it out mission. Harvest a moose in willipeg from a hunting stand. Like a tripod or a treestand?

stone raptor
#

What does the purple area on the map mean again?

hexed elbow
#

@stone raptor its the area you have shot at something

last hemlock
#

@stone raptor Hunting pressure, check the ingame codex for more info.

dark mango
#

when pressure is too high, need zones may disappear from that area
so ideally, you want to hunt all over the map, or to be more precise, not overhunt your areas of interest
also, hunting from a stand decreases by a large margin the pressure you create

stone raptor
#

Ah okay and the need zones, do they go away after you get an kill at them or will always be there?

dark mango
#

they go away as you kill animals somewhere else

hardy lion
#

I saw a Flinter vid where he said, if you get 'tier 4' hunting pressure in an area, it will make the need zone icons disappear but the zone itself won't

so like animals will be very unlikely to use that area, but it's not totally wiped from the map. Unless something's changed, I think that vid was about a year old if I remember?

Anyone have any advice on a map I could use to efficiently skill up handgun? A map suggestion with a higher amount of 2-5 tier that can be called would be great!

Shoot an animal and another one of the same gender spawns in, it can be bigger or smaller and can spawn in the same herd or sometimes another herd

short apex
#

Ok thanks. Does it spawn in right away ?

stable monolith
#

No it usually takes 1-6 in game days

#

Ive seen that when i get bigger aninals they tend to take 2+ days

hardy lion
#

so I know bullet/arrow drop is a thing at certain distances, but does the wind direction also affect your shots?

stable monolith
#

Wind direct affects arrows

short apex
#

Ok thanks

#

Last question haha how they take day why if you change the time and skip some days does they make them spawn ?

stable monolith
#

Yeah if you skip time to a different day it counts

last hemlock
#

@sonic ore
Soft points do better the closer you are to the animals.
Instead of just straight thru them. The soft points expand and does more damage.
A great explain
Thank hollow point 454 and go wolf hunting. The hollow takes out quicker
If you can't tell
Try it with the 44 and you will see it

#

Also go shoot a moose from the same distance
It will go further with the pol. Then the self
This only works 125 meters and shorter

So Iv been managing my white tail by killing all the males and Iv noticed a few of my need zones only have females in them and it’s like no new ones will respawn

barren agate

Yeah that happens from time to time. If you go back to the same zone a few times and no males respawn, just kill all the females and it should produce another zone elsewhere. This is just my theory though and has worked a few times for me on my map.

so I know after a certain level you stop getting skills/perks every level, and it starts going like every other level

so I hit lvl 38, didn't get anything. Ok, I'm at that point, I thought.
and now I just hit lvl 39, and still didn't get anything?

well yeah but 2 levels in a row I don't get any skills/perks? I thought it was only 1.

nah mine did the same thing i went for a few levels without getting any.

heavy dome
#

At 37 its every 3

hardy lion
#

every 3?? sheesh they really don't want us having all the perks n stuff do they
that seems a bit unreasonable.
so from here until lvl 60 I'm only going to get like what, 2 more skills and 2 more perks basically? that sucks.

heavy dome
#

Meh, lot of them are useless anyway

hardy lion
#

you know so far I've been a bit disappointed by Improvised Blind.
when I took the first level of Only Happy, I definitely noticed that every time it's foggy, my visual meter is a full level below what it normally would be

But improvised blind doesn't seem to work at all in fact, in some cases I seem to be more visible in a bush than I would be crouched out in the open.

dark mango
#

actually I hate when you can take ALL perks/skills in a game
because if you don't need to choose... what's the point?

I’ve seen a few but I hadn’t killed one yet because the game screws me or I’m just bad. One male lion I shot near the intestines with the 50 cal muzzle loader at like 50 feet away.

Did you track the blood down? Non-vital w/ medium bleed rate usually still dies, but not before running a ways first

At least in my experience. For me they only 'get away' aka dont die, when the bleed rate is low or very low

You'll have a crap rating on it, but it would have suited your lodge desires

So the crossbow, listed at effective range of appx 30 yds. Can i drop stuff decently at further ranges though? Thus far I've only shot at things I've called within effective range didn't want to risk losing anything i didn't have to

Forget what the bottom dot is,I only use the top one with ranging

I'm saying I don't know what the range of the different marks are, as I only use the top one with the ranging perk

You mean zero in?

Range finding is a different thing and a distinct perk

New player, was watching videos on loadouts and I'm confused about why they list 4-5 rifles. I have a .22 for 1, .243 for 2-6 and 30-06 for 4-8. No 9 on the map I'm on but when I get the 300 it covers 7-9 so if I can cover every class with 3 why isnt that more popular?

.22, .243, 7mm is popular

Saving for the 7mm too, that high accuracy on the 300 just sounds amazing

Some like to carry a heavy, as a 4-8 or 4-9 doesn't have as much punch as a .300 or a .338 on higher level animals

The 7mm has trouble with quick kill bonuses on 9s, just a heads up. If you're outside of effective range and you're worried about trophy rating, don't shoot get closer

#

Ammo type won't help either. I've been trying to get a gold plains bison for my lodge and its a struggle. Luckily though, bison are easy to stalk

#

Also, each bow covers all classes, you just have to change out your ammo
