Have you picked weapon pack 1?

rancid cloud
#

I got pack 2 and smoking barrel (I'll check when I get home

spring girder
#

You should consider getting weapon pack 1. The .22LR is the only rifle for small game.

lavish hollow
#

Ok well if you got smokin barrels just grab that m1 and your all set

#

Ya pack 1 is nice to have the .22 snipe ducks turkeys and rabbits all damn day with that easy money cheap ammo

hidden basin
#

the M1 in the smoking barrels pack is rated for the exact same classes as the .270, but it is much more powerful, especially against class 4's

spring girder
#

True

#

Go with the M1 instead of the 270

hidden basin
#

double lung with the m1 on class 4 will drop them almost instantly

#

they just drop to the ground and die a few seconds later

spring girder
#

Also the M1 is semi-auto, which is awesome for grinding.

hidden basin
#

oh yeah, especially grinding large herds

#

you can make double taps on a herd before they even have a chance to figure out what's going on

lavish hollow
#

It’s accuracy and range are nice. I take wt out at 330m and can pick thru 4 of them before they start running

#

Anything class 4-6 with the m1 drops fast with a well placed shot. The .270 is underpowered but irl it’s not that great of a gun anyways so I think the game represents it well.

wet thistle
#

the tracks for animals are not showing up can someone tell me how to fix this it makes the game unplayable

lavish hollow
#

U in mp?

spring girder
#

Have you checked your settings? System/Game/Track Effects

lavish hollow
#

If so tracks are broken on console still. If your in single player make sure you have them turned on in setting

wet thistle
#

i have

spring girder
#

Single or multiplayer?

wet thistle
#

single

spring girder
#

And you have them turned on? That's very weird.

wet thistle
#

there on

spring girder
#

Did you just start the game and entered the map by any chance?

wet thistle
#

i have been playing the game for a few days and there were tracks but then thay just disappeared

spring girder
#

And it's not after 19:00, right?

lavish hollow
#

That’s an odd one for sure. Maybe turn them off move around a min turn them back on

arctic moth
#

Have you tried following animals around to see if they are still there

wet thistle
#

it 3:00 in game

spring girder
#

You have to turn on your headlamp

arctic moth
#

Turn you light on

lavish hollow
#

Oh ya make sure if it’s 1900-0500 headlamp needs to be on

wet thistle
#

how do i trun on light

No worries

rancid cloud
#

@lavish hollow so I'm confused, it wont let me equip the 30-06 (on PS4)

lavish hollow
#

Does it show up in your inventory to where your able to place it in a slot?

rancid cloud
#

Like I'll put it in my inventory and stuff but it wont let me equip it at all (I'm like level 3 or 4)

lavish hollow
#

Character lvl won’t matter. Is there a rifle score required for that one? I can’t remember. Do you have anything in your hands right now

rancid cloud
#

Let me see if it will let me

spring girder
#

There is no score req. for DLC weapons as far as I know.

rancid cloud
#

Not that I can dee

#

See*

lavish hollow
#

Press down on your dpad

rancid cloud
#

Got it

#

Thanks for the help

#

It worked

If you press down on dpad it empty’s your hands. Press again and will bring items back into hands.

spring girder
#

visibility meaning that how visible you are for animals

patent oasis
#

Oh... i thought it meant my visibility... thanks im an idiot lol

spring girder
#

it's a weird choice of words I agree lol

balmy flame
#

is the .270 strad soft tip polymer better then the .243 ranger with .243 polymer tips

last hemlock
#

270 is better for most animals

balmy flame
#

but the penatration is lower does that matter?

lavish hollow
#

.270 is a bigger caliber than .243. Expansion will be higher with soft point and if u use poly the pen rate will be higher but less expansion.

balmy flame
#

so the .270 strad soft tip polymer will be better then the .243 ranger with .243 polymer tips

#

for like moose and deer

dark mango
#

don't bother using soft, always polymer

#

also, .243 and .270 are for different animal classes

balmy flame
#

so the .243 then over the .270?

lavish hollow
#

.270 for moose sucks all day long. Doesn’t matter what ammo type you got. Use .270 poly on deer and take lung shots. Will drop them easy at 150m or less. U can use soft point in .270 but I find u want to be closer for them to be more effective

dark mango
#

like I said, I wouldn't use the .270, as soon as you unlock the 7mm, you won't have any reason to use the .270 again

lavish hollow
#

.243 is great for coyotes and fox and roe deer or anything class 3

balmy flame
#

i cant even see the 7mm in the shop

lavish hollow
#

7mm regent magnum

dark mango
#

you just have to level up a bit

balmy flame
#

ive killed alot of moose with .243 tho

dark mango
#

.243 is illegal for moose

#

you need to use the proper ammo for each animal

lavish hollow
#

Ya but you won’t pass the harvest check will give you improper ammo

balmy flame
#

i just hit accept

#

i never harvest

dark mango
#

check the animal class in this spreadsheet, and choose your ammo accordingly

lavish hollow
#

Well if you don’t care about trophy ratings or any of that. Then carry on fire away shoot anything that moves with whatever you want lol.

balmy flame
#

what do i buy then this is so confusing

#

what does harvest do?

lavish hollow
#

When you go to killed animal and pick it up you ā€œharvestā€ it. It’s how you get your money xp and weapon score

balmy flame
#

when i just hit accept i got money and xp tho to

#

and weapon score

lavish hollow
#

Ya so you’ve harvested that animal

balmy flame
#

it never says anything when i shoot it with a .243

lavish hollow
#

They all have a trophy score. Unless it’s a female that doesn’t have score due to being antlerless

balmy flame
#

so so just use the .270 for deer and wait to buy the 7mm

lavish hollow
#

So when you shoot something and pick it up. Take a moment and look at the screen. Bottom left will show you animal score and you can see the harvest check there

balmy flame
#

ok

tribal silo
#

M1 garand, smart choice?

lavish hollow
#

Yes

tribal silo
#

Is there anything you think I should know early on?

lavish hollow
#

Pay attention to animal class and ammo class. Match them up to get best rewards. Pass the harvest check to gain max money and xp.

tribal silo
#

that sounds smarter, I like my Garand/Iwanik because I can just point n kill

#

reliable too

#

Also what maps are reccomended

spring girder
#

Yukon definitley, the .300 alone worth it.

lavish hollow
#

Haha yes. The .300 bear moose and elk destroyer. Super accurate. Excellent stopping power at long range.

spring girder
#

Yeah, that's going to be your go-to-gun for anything class 7 and above.

lavish hollow
#

Or if you just want anything to stop dead in it’s tracks lol. Shooting roe deer from 380m is fun. Overkill all day but fun

spring girder
#

lol

#

Also important info: You can try any maps you don't own in Multiplayer if someone is hosting who does. So just try them out and see which one you like.

#

Is there any mission reward guns other than the 6.5mm from cuatro Colinas?

spring girder

how do i join hunt club beta

If you’re looking for a great one, should you kill herds that are all does to reset them?

#

Need some strategy/tips for getting longer shots? Not hitting them, but actually being in the situation for a longer shot... some of the missions that are popping up now are harvesting animals at 100+ yards, and most of my shots are within 50 yards due to calling/lures/scents

true oriole
#

anyone know why i cant see any rare fur types or how to fix it

bright mauve
#

Does anyone know if they are gonna add fishing to the game i think it would open up a lot more things to do and more things to put in your lodge I also think it would be cool if they made and illegal hunting reserve where the was things like zebra and elephants i also think since they have rabbits it would be cool if they added squirrels and raccoons and stuff like that so does anyone know if they are ever gonna add anything close to what i said lol?

spring crescent
lament bramble
#

What about getting in the situation, though? I find almost all my shots are under 50 yards, at the moment, due to lures/scents, etc.

#

Like, how do you find animals that far away, and keep them that far away haha

spring girder

#

Can someone plz tell me all the weapons u get from mission rewards

dark mango
#

what weapon gives the storyline in parque fernando?

hidden basin
#

the weapon you get from the parque fernando story missions is a custom .44 magnum skin

dark mango
#

thx

spring girder
#

you also get a skin for the .338

#

in Parque

hidden basin
#

you don;t

spring girder
#

you do

#

it's called rangemaster .338 championship, you get it after completing the shooting challanges

hidden basin
#

Wait, really?

spring girder
#

yeah

hidden basin
#

I need to do those then

spring girder
#

it looks pretty neat

hidden basin
#

I’ve only done one of the challenge circles outside of the ones in the story missions lol

any use for it?

#

Anyone got any advice for Hope #6 on Layton Lakes? I cant find a blacktail or even a track in the designated area, let alone make a 200m shot cos theres nothing to shoot except bear or coyote

spring girder
#

There should be a bridge looking down the river. Usually there is a herd of BT drinking at the river in view distance and they should be far enough. This is how I've done it.

#

alright thanks, i killed a couple golf mouflons up there and a decent ibex

misty verge
#

No prob

karmic solar
#

which gun is the m1?

#

do i need a dlc for it?

misty verge
#

Its a dlc but idk which one

hidden basin
#

Smoking Barrels DLC

karmic solar
#

oh okay, also, what’s a powerful rifle that i could get?

hidden basin
#

uh, the M1

karmic solar
#

the m1 is pretty good?

hidden basin
#

it's a very effective rifle for class 4-6, and it can take class 7 and 8 without too much issue

misty verge
#

7mm is good too

karmic solar
#

i try to use my bow for 7 up

hidden basin
#

yes, but the M1 is semi-auto and has a 5rnd magazine

karmic solar
#

okay, i’ll be sure to get that dlc

#

how much does it cost to buy the gun?

hidden basin
#

it also comes with a muzzleloader, which is a stupidly fun gun to use, and a 10ga lever-action, which is a very effective goose and waterfowl gun

hidden basin
#

all weapon packs go for $3.99 USD, but due to the winter sale they are all at least 60% off

misty verge
#

What gun dlc should i buy?

hidden basin
#

depends on what you intend to hunt

misty verge
#

Pronghorn and Bears

hidden basin
#

Pack 3 and the Smoking Barrels pack each come with a rifle chambered in .30-06, the Eckers and the M1 respectively. .30-06 is rated for class 4-8 and is actually a decently effective bear cartridge

Pack 2 comes with the Drilling rifle, which is two 16ga shotgun barrels over a 9.3x74R rifle barrel. the 9.3x74R is rated for class 5-9

misty verge
#

Oh ok

hidden basin
#

Pack 2 also comes with the mosin, which is rated for class 3-7

misty verge
#

Is a 464 meter lung shot on a ibex impressive or am i stupid

karmic solar
#

okay, i’ll have to get it

#

what gun

misty verge
#

7mm

hidden basin
#

464 yards is 423 meters

#

that's quite a longshot tho

misty verge
#

Yeah

hidden basin
misty verge
#

molten yarrow
#

i have a big boi question so i have been playing for awhile but i still dont know how to tell if an animal is diamond potential if somebody can help me know what to look at i can look up like wieghts on the wiki if thats a way i can tell

misty verge
molten yarrow
#

but how do i determin if an animal is a diamond potential from the weight?

misty verge
#

There is a minimum weight a animal can be for it to be a diamond

molten yarrow
#

where can i find a list showing the minimum weight an animal can be for a diamond?

hidden basin
#

lemme dig up a spreadsheet that shows the max weight for animals

molten yarrow
#

that just shows what map the animals are on...

hidden basin
#

this one has the max weight for all animal types on each reserve. if the weight estimate caps out at the max weight, it is a possible diamond, but not a probable diamond. if you want to investigate farther, max level animals are highly likely (never always, plenty of troll animals exist) to be diamonds

#

there's ten pages in total on this spreadsheet, the first page, then one for each of the nine reserves

molten yarrow
#

oh

hidden basin
#

i will say tho that weight estimate is not a reliable indicator of a diamond, since animals can hit max weight estimate at one or two levels below max depending on the animal. trophy rating and animal difficulty are much more reliable.

molten yarrow
#

and for an animal like the bison how accurate would the weight estimate be would it be like 1700-2028 since it weighd alot i cant hop on rn and where is the weight estimate cuz i might know where it is but ti usally only shows like 2 digits like 20-28

#

oh thats score

#

where is weight?

#

i might not have it unlocked yet but i think i do

hidden basin
#

yeah that's trophy rating

#

weight can be determined either from animal tracks (stalker tree, track knowledge skill) or by spotting the animal (ambusher tree, spotting knowledge skill)

molten yarrow
#

if i hop on tommorow will i immediently see the weight? once i spot an animal?

#

maybe today

hidden basin
#

if you have the spotting knowledge.... level 2 i believe, then you should be able to see the animal's weight by spotting it

molten yarrow
#

ok

#

but the wiki says this Reveals information about the approximate health of the animal.
2 Reveals information about the approximate trophy rating of the animal.
3 Reveals information about how aware the animal is of nearby threats.

hidden basin
#

gimmie a minute

#

yeah it is level 2. the wiki omits the portion about animal weight for whatever reason

molten yarrow
#

ok

#

ima hop on i goota set up my xbox rq

#

so if i see a wild boar that has a trophy rating of like 144.3-155.7 it will fur sure be a diamond if i get quick kill and all that?

hidden basin
#

it omits the decimal point of the trophy estimate btw

#

also, quick kill no longer factors into trophy

molten yarrow
#

ok

hidden basin
#

to get a diamond, you must find an animal with a trophy rating over the diamond threshold, and pass the harvest check.

passing the harvest check is straightforward. to pass it, you must pass four criteria:

  1. Shoot the animal with appropriate ammo (for instance, using .338 on a blacktail would fail this check)
  2. Hit at least one vital organ (the liver, both lungs, heart, neck, and brain all count as vitals)
  3. Do not damage the trophy organ (which, in nearly all cases, is the skull)
  4. Shoot the animal no more than twice

failing any of those checks drops the trophy one level (i.e. a gold becomes a silver)

#

it should be noted that checks 2 and 3 are passed by default on class 1 animals

#

@molten yarrow

molten yarrow
#

ok

hidden basin
#

so my advice: go for a lung shot. the lung is a big target, and hitting ANY vital guarantees that the animal will die

#

How does one get a diamond

#

like

#

after I pass the harvest check

brazen citrus
#

@last hemlock there's more requirements than harvest check

#

It has to be the highest difficulty for the animal for example a legendary Red deer

#

While trivial is the lowest

rancid cloud
#

Highest levels for each species, range from 3s 5s and 9s

Except for the great one

ok thank you

dry eagle
#

how do you equip the bow?

last hemlock
#

So last night I spooked a lvl. 5 reindeer out of his drink zone in Medved and he ran across a lake and stopped on the other side after about 500 yds. I followed him across and tried to call him after he calmed down but he never came out. I was even able to spot another smaller reindeer that was eating with him in the same zone and it said it added the new zone to my map but when I went back to look it never did. After all this happened he seemed to just completely disappear from the area and I couldn't even get a track on him. This was really weird b/c I never saw him spook after he stopped to eat and I was looking in his direction the whole time. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could go back and find him now or should I just give up hope on finding him again. I don't even know which zones to look at and I cant ever seem to get anything over a lvl. 3 reindeer to come to my calls even when they're calm. Thanks!

arctic moth
#

Change time back to start of the zone

dry eagle
#

how do you equip the bow it wont let me?

rancid cloud
#

Did you put it in your quick access in your inventory?

#

@arctic moth I was planning on that, but because it didnt add the zone to my map will they still use it?

arctic moth

Hopefully

silver field
#

Hey I have a question about my needs zone, so I found this whitetail need zone and only shoot 1 deer there so far and everytime I go back there I see no deers does anyone know why? Could my tent be to close

sharp lake
#

your tent should be more than 150m away from it

#

otherwise it spooks animals. Or doesnt even spawn them in if they havent spawned before

silver field
#

Ok thank you i probably put my tent to close does tripod matter too

sharp lake
#

the tripod only matters when you place it down

#

you spook a radius of 150m when you place it. If you walk up to it and climb up it should be fine

last hemlock
#

Hey guys any suggestions for packs that I should get as I just got the base game.

spring girder
dark mango
#

I'd personally switch smoking barrels to tents and stands

#

and while yukon, besides being a cool map, grants you the .300, which is an awesome rifle, I guess you could live without it for the time being, since you'll be able to get the .338 with the base game

proud mist
#

The weapon pack grants you weapons suited for most of the animals on the base maps (for free iirc ingame), while the tents allow you to make your own "spawn points" while the ATV helps travel between outposts and lookout points

#

Other than that the manor is a pretty big "must"

last hemlock
#

Awesome thank you guys for the help

last hemlock

Just bought it thank you

its called the 7mm regent magnum @last hemlock @acoustic verge

lavish hollow
#

@balmy flame if you have the m1 and .300 there’s no need for the 7mm

violet iron
lavish hollow
#

@last hemlock hunt the river system early morning and mid day/early afternoon take it easy and scout out some herds. Takes a bit of time but it is a hunting game so you have to have some level of patience

#

Do you have any weapon packs?

#

.270 with polymer tips 100m away will be just fine. 7mm if you don’t have any other weapon packs.

#

And hit the lungs.

#

Crossbows are great same with compound bows. Use 420g arrows/bolts your all set.

while i personally wouldn't use the .270 (given that i have every DLC in the game, why would i? lol), it's not a bad rifle for whitetail by any means

Hi,
Question about need zones. Sometimes you find a need zone for a species (say moose), then you come back at the same place out of the need zone times and you discover a need zone for another species (say Bear). On the map, the old need zone will be overwriten by the new one. Does that means that the moose will stop comming at the times of the old need zone ? Or if you come back at the times of the old need zone you will find moose and so (re)discover the previous need zone ?

sharp lake
#

yes, it only dissapears on the map

Perfect, thank you !

A whole flock of rabbits ran into their cavities and now a little deer came upon them.šŸ˜€ When will the rabbits come back out?

#

They won't if you stand on top of them. Back out from the spot like 60-80m and they will pop out again.

#

After shooting them wait like 5min and then repeat.

You have to finish the main quest first

#

damn this guide. it says all you need to do is finish the antonia's quest line

spring girder
#

For Alejandra and later you'll get quests from her father Miguel

#

it has nothing to do with antonia's quest line

#

but Miguel will ask you to harvest a diamond animal but that could be anything, Ibex makes diamond very easily

#

I think whoever wrote that meant Alejandra, not Antonia

I miss-read the guide

#

I've been pulling out my "Hare" for 3 days now looking for a diamond

thank you @spring girder

#

the in Memoriam part is true, that's the first mission of the Miguel line, you'll get it after finishing the main story

austere cliff
#

ok back to the main story for me...after work

#

i'll talk to you guys later

You don't need the diamond hare, that was the last quest on Cuatro I finished and I had the gun way before.

is zeroing useful at all for rifles?

spring crescent
#

Yes

#

Makes long distance shots trivial

hidden basin
#

not necessarily trivial, but much much easier

spring girder
#

It's very useful. The bullet drop can be very punishing in this game. You should use it unless you prefer the added challenge.

sharp lake
#

Id say if you have expierence in some more or less realistic FPS games you should be fine getting adjusted to the bulletdrop. Because you have to make sure you zero in before every single shot you take, that can get a little bit annoying. But in general it doesnt really matter. Either you get used to the bulletdrop or you get used to the constant zeroing :D

hidden basin
#

or both

spring girder
hidden basin
#

like at 350+ meters you need to aim a bit high

sharp lake
#

which makes the zeroing even harder to learn

spring girder
hidden basin
#

technically, the zeroing compensates for the bullet drop for you

sharp lake
#

i mean if you zero for 300 but the animal is on 350 its gonna be a small bulletdrop you have to calculate

spring girder
#

Zeroing helps you compensate for certain distances. If you are fine with shooting somewhere in the lung, then sure, no need to worry, animals have big lungs.

hidden basin
#

true. but it makes it so you can aim just below the crosshair instead of halfway to the first dot

next gate
#

i might get a new map and i don't know which one i should i get. And i heard that Yukon valley gives you a weapon, does that happen with all the maps?

hidden basin
#

yes, BUT, some are more useful than others

next gate
#

ok

spring girder
#

Medved only gives you a skin variant of an existing weapon if I'm not mistaken. Same with Parque. I think the others all have some special weapons.

next gate
#

ok

#

so im better off with something like yukon right?

#

cause i started quite recently

sharp lake
#

id say the most useful because of the weapon is yukon, but you should decide which map you like the most and youll play alot to make your money worth ^^

spring girder
#

Yukon is a fun map, and the .300 is a very good gun, so it's definitley a very good choice.

hidden basin
#

medved gives you a skin for the 12ga O/U shotgun
Savannah unlocks the 470DB
Parque gives you a skin for the .44 magnum (and .338 for completing a challenge mission)
Yukon gives you the .300
Cuatro Colinas unlocks the 6.5mm
SRP unlocks the Alexander Longbow
Te Awaroa unlocks the .303

#

both Cuatro and Te Awaroa have one variant of their respective weapons locked behind a story mission, while the other two variants are immediately available for purchase in-game

next gate
#

cool

#

thanks for all your help

hidden basin
#

yukon and savannah have two variants of their respective weapons, both immediately available to purchase in-game once you buy the DLC

#

btw, all the variants are statistically identical. the only difference is the finish/aesthetics

#

bruh i literally just said that

Yukon is a good map. Parque has a nice variety of animals

#

when do the don miguel quests start in Cuatro Colinas?

I guess it's random after finishing the main quest. I was harvesting a random roe when it started for me.

#

so i just need to start hunting

austere cliff
#

cool thx @spring girder i got it

spring girder
#

If you haven't completed the Baden line just yet (You get the last quest for it after the main story), you should wait until you reach to the point with Don Miguel's line where you have to harvest a random diamond animal. You can use the diamond you get for the last Baden mission to finish it.

Just purchased the game on Steam sale and been enjoying it a lot. Currently sitting at 7k rifle score after a week of playing. But could someone briefly explain the trophy rating / medals system? Is it dependent on the animal size or "quality" (antlers etc) and how much do the shots matter?

I've watched youtubers who just know some animal is a diamond one before shooting, so is it based on the difficulty level and size? I'm just shooting anything that moves and really can't tell the difference between high / low trophy animals šŸ™ˆ

#

And do the diamond ones have some actual use other than just making a nice pic or taxidermize?

hidden basin
# stoic fiber Just purchased the game on Steam sale and been enjoying it a lot. Currently sitt...

The medal is dependent on the animals’ trophy rating, which in turn is dependent on its trophy organ. For antlered species like deer and horned species like buffalo, a bigger rack or set of horns equals a higher trophy rating. For non-antlered species like felines, heavier animals will have a higher trophy rating. In general tho, heavier animals tend to have higher trophy ratings (tho there are exceptions, like blacktails with pitifully small racks)

To get the highest possible medal on an animal, you must pass the harvest check, which consists of four checks:

  1. Use proper ammo type (I.e. you cannot use .338 on a whitetail)
  2. Hit at least one vital organ (the vitals are the brain, neck spinal cord, heart, lungs, and liver)
  3. Do not damage the trophy organ (which is almost universally the skull)
  4. Shoot the animal no more than twice
    (Note: checks 2 and 3 are automatically passed on class 1 animals)

Failing any of these four checks drops the medal by one. I.e. a gold will become a silver

#

A diamond is the highest trophy in the game, comprising around 1% of animals. They are among the most sought after for that reason

stoic fiber
#

Thanks for the explanation šŸ™‚

hidden basin
#

There is a way you can estimate the medal tho. Max level animals are probable diamonds (I say probable because troll diamonds exist), one or two below max, depending on species, is usually a gold, two to four below max, depending on species, is usually silver, and females of antlered species have no trophy because they don’t have antlers

edgy apexBOT
#
CashnipLeaf#4652 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

hidden basin
#

Oh are you serious?

#

Anyways, what I meant to say before I was rudely interrupted by the bot was that every animal species has a different max level, which is why I said ā€œdepending on speciesā€ in my message

signal gyro
#

Here you go @hidden basin

"I say depending on species because each species has a different max level. The majority of deer with the exception of whitetails, roe deer, red deer, and Siberian musk deer all max out at level 5. Pigs, goats, sheep, geese, bison, gemsbok, springbok, and wildebeest also max out at level 5. Red deer, predators like felines and canines, buffalo, and bears all max out at level 9 Roe deer, Siberian musk deer, whitetail deer (tho these guys are special, I’ll get into that later), rabbits and hares, waterfowl, and turkey all max out at level 3"

#

Sorry, the bot gets touchy sometimes. LOL

hidden basin
#

Thanx u

stoic fiber
#

By level you mean the "difficulty"?

hidden basin
#

Yes

stoic fiber
#

Alright thanks again.

hidden basin
#

So I mentioned whitetails are special. You know why?

stoic fiber
#

No clue hah.

hidden basin
#

In extremely rare circumstances, a whitetail may respawn as a ā€œGreat Oneā€, with a difficulty of ā€œ10 - FABLEDā€

stoic fiber
#

Oh yeah saw some of those in youtube

hidden basin
#

Only a handful of players have ever gotten great ones, just because they are so insanely rare

stoic fiber
#

So basically, if you spot a max lvl animal just have be careful to shoot it clean and then it's probably a diamond?

#

Sounds simple šŸ™‚

hidden basin
#

Pretty much. Most experienced players recommend going for a lungshot because the lung is a vital and is also a big target. And hitting ANY vital organ guarantees that the animal will die

#

The lung and liver together make up roughly half the length of the animal’s torso, so aiming for the chest is a pretty safe bet

when a need zone is deleted bacause you applied too much pressure, the herd/s that was using that zone will find a relatively close place for a new zone, or could they go anywhere in the map?

how does this "great one" thing works? I thought there was kind of a higher level than diamond, at X trophy score, but I'm seeing its score it's the same as diamond? so it's only like a "parallel", special category of sort?

spring girder
#

The trophy score depends on the rack of the GO, the old GO rack had like 640+ rating, while the current one is 340+ something. They are not really a higher medal in the traditional sense since if you mess up a GO you get a Gold, not a Diamond, so it's more like a very rare (and in the case of the WT) atypical diamond spawn and the animal weights more than the normal max weight of the species. That's my understanding on the matter.

dark mango

right

I thought it was a higher medal, instead it's a "rare" diamond

I hate it

shrewd hare
#

It takes time but it also gives you good training for bow hunting.

ornate oar
#

I am not really interested in bow hunting tbh but i guess its quite a challenge to get close

shrewd hare
#

But most of the time if the mission is about taking picture of a certain animal, I waited until I had their caller. So much easier when you can hid in a bush and call them in.

desert dust
#

bow hunting with the dlc bows can be fun and somewhat challenging

#

but....

#

if you don't enjoy it then it won't be fun.... duh lol

ornate oar
#

I used the caller for the fox and just waited in a stand just to shoot him with the wrong bow feelsbadman

#

I hate photo missions I can hit an animal with the recurve further away than I have to take the photo I literally have to be touching the animal

ornate oar
#

Btw i got the 2021 version do i have any dlcs, weapon packs left that i need to buy? šŸ‘€

karmic helm
#

I found with the photo missions ( especially on Cuatro ) that I just chased a herd and eventually they'd stop for a rest, sometimes you'd get lucky and one would get bugged on a rock.. Then snap snap snap. I did pretty much all the animal photo missions like that and found it quicker and less annoying. Just chase them down. No need to hide in a bush for ages. lol

desert dust
#

^that's how i did the fox bow mission

#

if you chase it. eventually it'll get stuck on something

karmic helm
#

lol

ornate oar
#

Yeah the fox doesnt stop and is slow aswell haha

languid marsh
#

Last photo mission I did I got a photo while the animal was attacking me

karmic helm
#

ahhahha

desert dust
#

i mean that works too

#

If it completes the mission, job done lol

#

I am still annoyed that i used the wrong bow

#

For the stupid fox feelsbadman

languid marsh

#

Yeah, I wish the bows were like classic and you didn't have to pick the right weight one. Maybe if it was just different types of arrows ( to suit the bow ), but without the weight difference.

desert dust
#

well a lot of stuff like the weight of the broadhead isn't what determines it's lethality irl but in game it does

#

the same recurve sligns one arrow and kills a rabbit with out destroying it and drops a buffalo with another one

#

granted i have small game broadheads for my bow i deer hunt with irl but still

ornate oar
#

Yeah its still a game so i think we can look over it haha

desert dust
#

true

ornate oar
#

But in some occasion the game really is quite realistic

desert dust
#

in some yes

#

i never played classic though

ornate oar
#

Whats classic?

desert dust
#

an older pc game by same people

#

same discord as this one

#

you will see "classic" channels here

#

i wish the scoring system was closer to Boone and Crockett and SCI

but that would be REALLY hard to code i think

Does the tent bug still exist, that if u fast travel to a tent near the animals they will be invisible? Or does a tent just make loud sounds and that alerts the animals? Because for some reason if i fast travel to my tents there are no animals, even at the need zones at the right time (i placed the tents right on the lakes on medved so they are about 50-100 m away from the need zonees).

dark mango
#

afaik animals don't even spawn if you place your tents too close to need zones

granite knoll
#

If i but tripod too close to tent then animals wont come? right?

acoustic verge
#

I once fast traveled to my tent and there was a fox near the entrance. The fox was not stuck or anything. Now I am unsure if the tent spooks animals at all. I also got killed by a buffalo once and spawned inside my nearby tent and it attacked me again. The buffalo didn't rip my tent in half and I was safe standing in the center of the tent and able to kill the animal as it kept running circles around my tent.

#

so the region names from all my maps have disappeared and only appear when you fast travel to the region though it seems like this has been happening to other people for a while now is there like... any way to fix it? Or do I just have to live with it

#

EDIT : It happened again, I fast traveled to my tent and checked my inventory then I heard footstep sounds, I shot one Lesser Kudu from the tent and a minute later a second one showed up. The Kudus came very close so I took some screenies.

#

Is there any developer proof that says tents spook animals ? I really would like to know for sure as I love tents 😃

spring crescent
acoustic verge
#

Thanks for that info. I do doubt fast traveling has any spook effect as I caught a fox close by my tent. It didn't seem to notice me and had a good look at it before I shot it with an arrow. Your reply is much appreciated many thanks 😃

Chaps, I own ALL the DLC... yet some of it is showing in steam as not installed.... so when I try to click download to install the ones that apparently arent....instead of downloading them it launches the game.....

#

add to that the new reserve Te Awaroa which i havent even played yet as it crashes when I try to load it (which i bought on day of purchase) all in all means i prob wont be buying anything ever again for COTW quite honestly.

#

and I only put this here with the slim hope someone actually sees it and tries to help, as posting in the bug reports achieves zero.

#

Right click the game on your steam library, properties, local files, verify integrity of game files.

thanks, ill try it

sadly no difference, try to load new map, dumps me to windows with an option to upload an error report

You can hunt for geese using a tripod and the caller, which is free if I'm not mistaken. It's less efficient without the decoys but you still should be able to make some of the flocks break and come in.

winter fox

is the 7mm or mosin better for diamond hunting

misty verge
#

Mosin unless its a lvl 9 animal like cape buffalo

winter fox
#

but 7mm packs more of a punch with correct ammo for deer and bear

#

@misty verge

misty verge
#

Ok im going off what people told me

winter fox
#

no i believe you im just saying

spring girder
#

I would go with the 7 mm for anything class 4 and above in this case. There is no reason to use the Mosin on those animals when you can use the 7 mm.

Can someone tell me where to go on the taigia because i never find anything on that map

Ok thanks

spring girder
dark mango
#

cause the question was 7mm or mosin

spring girder
# dark mango cause the question was 7mm or mosin

The question is which one is better for diamond hunting. To trade off the power of the 7 mm for the extra follow up shot of the Mosin does not make sense. If someone really wants the extra follow up shot they should choose another weapon.

dark mango
#

if we go that path, asking for a good weapon for "diamond hunting" seems a bit silly to me, a wrong question at the very least

spring girder
dark mango
#

yes, but that's the guy who ask's problem, not ours

#

he asks "7mm or mosin", god know why

spring girder
#

I mean

#

fair enough

dark mango
#

well, between 7mm and mosin, there's at least one reason to choose mosin

#

btw, is there THAT difference in power between these two? I haven't checked myself... though I can say I used the 7mm for a loooooooong time for a reason

#

it's unbelievable how that thing drops all kinds of stuff dead in the spot

spring girder
#

The 7 mm is a beast of a gun. I have every DLC, but I still use it very often. A very powerful gun and it's legal for a lot of stuff.

#

I've never used the .470 outside missions. I think the .300 is a much better choice, it can take down anything, it's ethical for a wider range of classes, it's 1 kg lighter, and you can put scope on it.

You can't hunt Moose with the Solokhin

#

Up to class 7

oh but im onehitting them

but not everytime

spring girder
#

Maybe, but you are losing the "proper ammo" check

leaden vessel
#

ok

#

Is the grellek good?

spring girder
#

It's alright. The bullet drop can be bad, and the 16G buckshot is a bit underpowered if you ask me. But if you have the pack already, it's free. Try it for yourself.

leaden vessel
#

I just have weapon pack 2

spring girder
#

It's a good gun until you have access to the 7 mm, but after that, I would take the 7 mm any time of the day instead of the Drilling.

leaden vessel
#

okay i was about to buy the 7mm anyway

spring girder
#

Good idea. With the 7 mm and the .243 you can shoot everything except class 1.

acoustic verge
#

You might want to take a look at the .270 as well. Suitable to hunt classes 4-8. So it has less classes than the 7mm but has a way better accuracy.

I'm pretty new, I don't have any DLC and I'm wondering what the next rifle I should buy would be to try to drop bigger game with more ease.
What rifle should I be looking at trying to get?

olive shoal
#

270, then 7mm

dark mango
#

@rugged mesa I assume you're using the .243, in that case I would NOT buy the .270 and save straight for the 7mm

#

you won't use the .270 once you have the 7mm

#

after that, the .338

#

assuming you're not gonna buy pack weapons, that is

spring girder
#

What @dark mango said. Skip the 270 (although I think you should have a free one, the Stradivarius, I don't quite remember how I got it) and go for the 7mm.

rugged mesa
#

Is the .270 stradivarius or ranger .243 better for dropping animals like moose?

split knoll
#

Gonna be hard to do an instant drop on a moose with either of those. They're pretty hardy. Better off to grind until you can get the 7 mm or another more powerful rifle

rugged mesa
#

If I was gonna take a moose should I go spine with 270?

#

or behind shoulder blade

arctic moth
#

Lung

split knoll
#

the spine doesn't count as a vital organ and you'll lose a medal if that's the only place you hit it. if you really have to use a rifle and you don't have access to the higher class ones, use the 270 with poly tips and aim for the lungs behind the shoulder blade

rugged mesa
#

alright.

pastel wave
#

if u have the weapons packs buy the .300 if ur gonna be moose hunting

it is kinda expensive tho LOL 70k

split knoll
#

@sudden anchor you can have a level 5 moose that is not a diamond if its a troll. It will just be really close.

#

@sudden anchor you have to put points into the zero perk and then since its an active perk you have to have it selected. not sure about what buttons you would press on a controller to switch distances though

If I have a need zone with only one animal attached to it and not speaking of predators who are solitary, should I eliminated the zone with only one animal or keep it to see if more animals spawn there?

spring girder
#

No

spring girder
plucky flame
#

So more animals won't spawn in a need zone?

spring girder
#

There is no guarantee for that. The respawn is random for the most part. You might get one extra animal on that zone after x amount of kills, but you might never get anything. The chance to get there something extra consistently is slim. While a killed animal is always a potential for something good to respawn somewhere. It might respawn to the same place.

dark mango
#

aren't the need zones tied to a specific herd/animal? I mean, a 1 animal need zone might get new animals eventually?

#

this is apart from the fact that several need zones might be in the same place

old patio
#

Yeah but I need to delete it first I believe

#

U

plucky flame
spring girder
# plucky flame So the lonely male will respawn against? I've heard that if you kill a need zone...

Every animal you kill will respawn and will have a need zone somewhere on the map. It might be at the same place, it might be at a completely different place. Males respawn as males, females respawn as females. Animals are persistent on your map, so you won't get any respawns out of them unless you shoot them and claim them. This is why I don't think it's worth keeping them around, the more male animal you kill (or female in a case of a few species like hares or gemsbok where females can make diamonds) the better your chances are to get some rare or diamond animal.

plucky flame
