nope, you have to unlock it and buy it
Alright, thanks
#šļø“support @dusk cradle
thats not a problem with my files and the files cant help by this bug any player on pc can do that ( at the moment in my virant 22lr i have the 470 king bullet inside and i can shot) and no i have no hacks ore cheats
Scroll up to the top
I cant drop a moose with the 30-06
are you aiming for a lung/heart shot?
drop as in "kill instantly" or drop as in "kill in general"?
if you don't hit a vital organ, it's not going to go down unless it's .338 or .300
o damn
I mean yea im aiming for lung / heart
but i guess i suck at aiming cause they never go down
where do you aim at them?
.30-06 is unlikely to double lung moose cuz those things are tough animals
aim for a single lung shot cuz that's about the best you will be able to get
tho you can go for frontal heartshots
they have a big heart if you are shooting it head on, otherwise can go for a single lung and track a while
moose also are kinda dumb so you can walk up to 150sh meters and then crouch closer to get a better angle
Yea and i wanna use the soft point bullets right
nope, hard point against moose as their hide is tough
soft point is very rarely worth it, you want the extra penetration to get more vital organ hits
nope nope nopety nope. moose have TOUGH hides, and soft-points aren't gonna go deep enough to hit a vital. you wanna be using polymer tips
I think that was the problem i was running into
I thought i was hitting vital shots on moose and bears
Hello I tried to stream call of the wild but my frames were dropping so bad is there anyone that know something i need to know?
yeah m1 soft points only really make sense on class 4's which are made of cardboard and tin foil
might need to lower settings because streaming puts quite a hefty load on the GPU
yea ik but all the other games can do it
@last hemlock Do you usually drop frames while streaming other games too?
no
COTW is a very GPU heavy game
I dont think this game is very well optimized for gpu so it might be just drop the settings
is there anything i can do to up my cpu
short of overclocking it or replacing it entirely, not really, other than just finding ways to cut down on CPU or GPU load
you know any good ways is it because i have so many games or?
tho i should mention overclocking the CPU will void any warranties you have
ik
Overclocking your cpu isnt really worth it unless you have like a 2080 ti in your computer
ok i understand
ok but thats not fun
it might be necessary if you wanna stream
other than getting a monster PC, that might be your only viable option
oh
CPU = processor
GPU = graphics card
is that like 2080 and stuff
i believe so
what u have
i run on a 940MX which is not a great GPU lol. i have all my settings at the lowest they can be (and the game doesn't actually look terrible btw)
ok
Sorry to interrupt but yea those polymer tips do really help
toldja
i'd say play around with the graphics settings a bit, especially the ones marked "high performance impact"
Is the 7mm magnum worth?
It covers classes 4-9 so basically everything except your row deer and springbok and under
@crisp ginkgo
Will it stop stuff?
I mean it can take everything thatās big game
Better than the 30-06?
in terms of animal coverage, yes. it's more of a jack of all trades weapon tho. m1 will do better against class 4-6 and .300 will do better against class 7-9. but the 7mm is one weapon, m1 and .300 are two weapons
This ^
Only catch is that itās break action so you only get one shot so make it count @crisp ginkgo
30-06 has 40 pen, 11 expansion and 7mm has 40 pen, 12 expansion
so it's only "slightly" better
while the 7mm can take down buffalo/bison, it's going to be a really long track
yea it does, but takes a while
but tbh even .300 and .338 take a while from long range shots to down buffalo/bison
.470 or bows are best to take them down fast
40 pen, 4 expansion so it does work and it doesn't weigh that much
There are more hidden stats to ammo and guns, pen and expansion are a bit misleading. the 7mm has a lot more punch than the 30-06
it CAN take them down but i dont trust it to just cuz of that low espansion stat
@jagged obsidian the 6.5mm is the least powerful rifle in the 4-8 class
Well fuck I already bought it
Itās still decent though. Itās probably the most accurate over long range and sounds and looks good itās just not quite as powerful as some of the others like the .303 or the .30-06ās
I mean you should really only be using 4-8 for class 4-6 animals then use the .300 or .338 for 7-9 so power isnāt a huge deal. It just takes a bit longer to track when youāre trying to grind a bunch of animals in a drink zone time
it is also the third lightest rifle in the entire game, beaten only by the .223 and virant .22LR
it's lighter than all other class 4+ rifles
True. Is it 0.5 units lighter?
0.5 units lighter than the m1 and .303, 1 unit lighter than the .270, 1.5 units lighter than the 7mm and eckers
Wow the eckers is heavy. Never really used it much so didnāt notice that. They should probably change that because the M1 completely outshines it currently. Same with the .303
6.5mm also has the rayo variant, which is a pretty cool thing to go after if you are a bit of a masochist
i have it, and my god that was a long grind
Also they should change the .270 a bit, I know itās a base game rifle but itās š© compared to the rest of the 4-8 rifles
i honestly believe they should drop the .270 and 6.5mm to class 3-7
Yeah Iām with you on that
or one idea i had was up the 6.5mm weight to 3.5, but give it an integral bipod
make it the king of long range for class 4-8
As much as Iād like to agree I donāt think they should add anything to the game in terms of mechanics or features until they fix and optimize the game. Once theyāve done that then yeah that would be a good idea
100% agree with that
I'd be all for the edit to the .270
i honestly think there should be more weapon specialization in this game. basically, within a given set of circumstances, a certain weapon will outperform another weapon in the same class range
Example?
take the .45-70
i feel that the lever-actions could be specialized as defensive rifles against dangerous game with more power up close, but that power drops off more quickly than their bolt-action counterparts
Agreed. And I think thatās a thing I just donāt think they implemented it properly.
also i feel that at lightning hands lvl 3, the revolvers should get a speedloader reload
My god are they slow to reload
Even with lvl 3 lightning
Love the .454, great gun, but reloading frustrates me for sure
speedloader would definitely speed things up
For sure
can someone help me im on pc btw, i wanna start my thehunter and everytime it crashes
it sometimes shows the dots for loading but it wont start
Im planning on getting a DLC, with one do you guys think is the best?
i presume you did things like verify game files?
Whatās the best gun for higher class animals like elk and above that I can get early
Like which is the easiest to unlock
7mm
i just disconected my controller and then it workeed
huh
@tacit wadi Are you thinking reserve or weapon pack or what?
no maps, just weapons and other stuff
Smoking barrels weapon pack, weapon pack 1, treestand and tripods dlc. Those would prob be my top 3. Not sure which one I would get first
Or saseka safari trophy lodge. So you can put your big animals in there
Which should I get first the Hyperion scope or 7mm
whichever is cheaper
Hyperion should be like 12,000 and 7mm is like 40,000+ I think plus ammo
7mm is 36k plus ammo
Yeah Iād recommend the Argus later on but thatās only once you have the weapons you need and some tents and tripods. Argus is good for long range shots and shots on diamond potentials when youāre not trying to kill 2-3 animals quickly
Do european bison attack unprovoked
If you're close to them when they realize you're there, possibly.
same thing with wild boar
My dog just refuses to work, it does not do anything, just follows me around. Does anyone else, have had this problem?
Can not find blood, does not show critical position, I've tried putting it in the kennel, and re-joining the hunt club, and reseting the game, the dog, the hunt club, the system, in any order, cannot get it to work.
Is there anything else I can try, or should I just wait for the update?
what platform are you on? if you're playing on PC with steam in offline mode, i think the dogs are still broken
Im on xbox.
no idea then. hopefully it gets fixed when the hotfix comes out. if not, you can try filling out a support ticket on their website
Ok, I think i will wait. Thanks, for answering!
Anyone else having a issue where I canāt put my ammo or scope with a gun
Nevermind found a work around
Turn on your hunt club beta and the dogs should work
find all dem need zones
Is anny new info about stat fix? our community still waitin' and dyin'
Expected to come next week. Tho the fucked up stats will stay fucked up sadly
3rd time :/
next week you mean this week I hope
Is it possible to have one perk and skill ability at same time
yes, but you cannot have more than one of them active at a given time
so you'd need to essentially switch between them (which thankfully costs nothing if you have acquired two or more active skills)
At least I can have zeroing and keen eye both on
you cannot have two active skills/perks turned on at the same time, but you can switch between them at will by activating whichever one you intend to use at that moment
How come no matter where i shoot the animal its bleed rate is: very low
What animal are you shooting with which weapon?
I swear i just shot this animal in the lungs. No way i missed the lung and its very low. Fallow deer with a . 243 rifle
Itās definitely not a lung if itās very low bleed rate
Probably didnāt get the penetration. Was the animal moving? You need to lead moving animals
I mean.... it was sideways to me. And i aimed very carefully. Not moving.
Maybe. We will see.. trying to track it down now.
You should be using a 4-8 class ammo for fallow. .270, .303, .30-06, minie ball, .45-70, 7mm to name a few. Those will have no issue with broadside lung shots, usually a drop shot if you hit both lungs. Single lung will bring it down within 30-40m with those calibers
Yeah just track it down and kill it and take a look at your shot and see what went wrong. If you donāt know you can swap between seeing the animal and seeing your shot with transparent animal using right trigger on console
Which DLC should i buy?
I like weapon pack 1 and do you have all the maps
i just have vurhonga
how many rifle `kills does it take to destroy a zone from 0
3 for some, 4 for others. not sure about the difference. I've had both
how'd ye make out? the shoulder can stop the .243 from getting to a lung sometimes
Couldnt find it. Got a dlc .30-06 rifle for free. No more issues
do you own weapon pack 3 or the smoking barrels pack, by chance?
I see. Yes less frustration with the 30-06. Way less actually; however, don't forget the .243 it is fully capable of taking class 4 with both ammo types. It's a good rifle to learn on
class 4's are like cardboard and tin foil to the .30-06
Aye, 30-06 is the easy mode š
which weapon is better, .270 stradivarius or the solokhin (weapon pack2)?
Solo are very good
vurhonga, layton lake and hirschfelden
im not familiar with the solokhin, i thought it was one of the .30-06 rifles so can't really say
the .270 is pretty good for what it does
solokhin is class 3-7, .270 is class 4-8
How do i see how to do the thangy thang
jk how do i see how close i am to leveling up
codex, hunter
how to make pressure point go away
You have to create pressure somewhere else
Creating pressure in one spot removes it from another
alright thanks
I have a gemsbok that is estimated to 339 ik 338 Ish is the cutoff so is it a low chance heās a diamond
@jagged obsidian Yeah female gemsbok make diamond way more often than males
My game keeps freezing when I try to launch it on windows 10. I've verified/reinstalled the files and it still freezes at the same spot every time. Any tips?
are ducks broken again?
bc ive been sitting here for a good 30 minutes and havent seen a duck
use caller, use decoys
see if any of these help fix the issue
https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013039500-Can-t-Launch-theHunter-Call-of-the-Wild-PC-
No I just go a diamond mallard boutta hour ago
nice
So try your luck somewhere else
For ducks I just run the river systems and lakes. I never sit in one place for any amount of time as youāll see way less ducks if any
whats a decent skill focus for those who just like to shoot whatever they come across?
So I just downloaded the hound dog dlc and treestands and tripods DLC and every time I hit continue it freezes during the camera spin. Help?
how long has it been doing it for
The last 12 or 13 times I've hit continue on my save it's been doing I've restarted the internet, ive restarted my xbox and cleaned the disk holder I dont know what to do
Report to devs and hopefully they send you some ideas on how to fix
Sorry for being "that dude" but what would I need to do to do that?
Will i be able to harvest them if theyre in the waters ?
Dead animals will float to you
sweet ā¤ļø thank you
did you restart the game after installing the new dlc's?
they float to the spot where you shot them from
so it might be best to not run away when you shoot em
30-06 or 300. british which is better??
em.. can chamois female made diamond? Someones say no and someones yes
Anyone got some tips and tricks for not having to wait 2+ hours for each group of Canada Goose?
They used to
have 2-3 setups around the map with tent. If one spot dries up, you can fast travel to another.
ill see if it changes anything š thanks
.30-06 and .303 british? The .303 is slightly better. The .300 canning magnum is completely different
how close can the tent be to the goose setup while traveling like that?
On it basically. At least I keep mine just outside of the spread
where can I report wrong translation?
There are 2-3 places that spawn more flocks more regularly. As far as times, They seem to spawn more frequently around 0730, 1200, and 1600. Though, none of that is 100%.
EW really should go back and treat geese like they do everything else.
@tough sapphire if you want Iāll draw a map of the route I use for mallard
That would be awesome
Ok šš» gimme a bit and Iāll send you it
Would you mind sending it to me too?
Sure @surreal wraith
tyvm
ty š
Yw
thanx!
Yeah but just follow the right of the lake and River and you shouldnāt have trouble finding them
Start around 10-11
Thatās feed or drink time I think
This is the route I found my diamond mallard on so it works great
sorry my bad yhea its the 303. british
Does scent eliminator works? If it does how?
Iām donāt use it I just stay down wind to be sure
it reduces the intensity of your scent to make animals less likely to detect you, especially if the wind is blowing towards them
I mean thats how its supposed to work but does it do that?
it works, but your scent isn't likely to spook animals unless they're directly downwind of you and under 100m away. it reduces that distance to about half
the bigger issue when animals are downwind of you is noise. your sound carries much further in the downwind direction
spraying scent eliminator does nothing for that
Fair
short of covering yourself in deodorant and antiperspirants every minute, you're never gonna completely eliminate your scent
Also my first Beatty mission doesn't works
The .303 is slightly more powerful. However I would always recommend the M1 (.30-06) as it has more than enough power and has far less recoil than the .303 British and therefore follow up shots are much easier. Once you get good enough you can take out 2-3 animals out of a herd pretty easily with M1
Iām on console and donāt have much issue with it but Iāve also played this game and other FPS games a lot
on a per-shot basis, the .303 is better
but the M1 being semi-auto completely offsets that slight power difference
not sure if this is the excat right spot to put this if not delete but i keep crashing after i install silver ridge peeks anyone got any ideals i have the crash file also if that helps
which platform?
pc laptop to be more precise
this link has a few ideas you could try
https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013039500-Can-t-Launch-theHunter-Call-of-the-Wild-PC-

i beleive i may have fixed it i had like 2 files that wernt found so hopefully this fixes it thank you
Someone to explain me how to get my first DIAMOND, im a little bit bad at the game

what are the pros and cons of using the bleat caller vs grunt?
i believe one has a longer range and the other has better attraction
bleat has 50% attraction chance but 150m range, grunt has 25% attraction chance but 250m range
depends what you are trying to do but the grunt one is usually "better" to call in a herd and the bleat better to get nearby deer to come closer
Iāve found lately that the bleat caller isnāt really working. Whitetail wonāt come into the bleat caller whether youāre at 150m, 100m, 75m, nothing works for me. Grunt caller they virtually always come in after calling 4 times then twice every 45-60 seconds
Anyone know if the Going for Gold mission on Hirsh is working properly? It says to travel to Ritterstien and create hunting pressure. I did that, to the point of new pressure nodes deleting older ones and I still can't get a mission complete. Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
I haven't noticed, but I'm sure someone here has. Do higher tier animals and higher trophies give more xp?
assuming all 4 bonuses (harvest check, quick kill, consecutive harvests, and species difficulty) are the same, the higher scoring one will usually give more cash and xp
Got ya. tyvm
how to spend ur money im new
does anyone know a weight chart or sumin for the min weight for all species at diamond
weight does not determine trophy rating for all truracs species, so you'd be looking at a pretty short list in any case
oh, my mistake, i thought it did
weight is correlated with TR, but there isnt a direct link between the two
Should I continue putting points into Stalker to get Improvised Blind, or should I start working on getting Fatal Attraction? I like using bows and pistols, if that makes any difference.
that would depend a lot on your playstyle. i recommend you go with whichever ones best suit you
Improvised blind first IMO. Mashing your caller 5 times will generally work without fatal attraction but works better with it. Iād go improvised blind then work on the other. Both of them compliment your play style by the sounds of it
It feels like callers dont really do anything, and I don't know if its because Fatal Attraction just makes them worth it.
How do you use your caller?
Thereās a range cap on them so be within that range. Also if youāre only hitting the caller once or twice it doesnāt work as well as hitting it 5 times to get their attention
I usually wait until I can hear them call at me or if I hear footsteps to try and draw them into the open or within range of a bow/pistol.
Right but how many times do you use the caller? And how often?
I haven't tried spamming the caller, usually just ping them once or twice and if they stop moving, try it another two times.
I was using them about 60-90 seconds or whatever the caller says its duration is.
Try spamming it 5 times then twice every 45 seconds after that
That works wonders for me
I've been confused on how much / often I should use the callers, but I'll try them in small bursts and see if that helps. I appreciate the help!
Itās pretty tough to spook them by using the caller too much. You have to be non stop hitting it. Using the method above Iāve never spooked an animal with the caller
I didn't know if you could scare them by doing that, but I've definitely never used them enough to do that.
when im trying to lure lynx in, i usually blast the caller once every 15-20 seconds or so
With something like the Roe Deer caller, I wouldn't mind using it that much, but the wailing jackrabbit caller is too much for me.
Using the caller too often can slow down the process as they stop, look around, sniff a bit before they continue coming in when you hit the caller while theyāre already coming in. Wonāt spook them though
If you're doing it right, are they supposed to walk right on top of you, or just get close? When I am calling something like coyotes, they seem to stay about 60m away and sniff around.
Depends on the level. Low level females will walk right up to you, some males will stay a bit further away
beware tho: if you try it on wolves, you WILL get a wolf pack attack once one of them gets close enough
When is the updated coming out to fix the bugs? Ping me if you reply
Supposedly next week
You've made a selection wheel for a useless dog but you couldn't for our inventory that is essential to the entire experience?!
What the actual...
Seriously though. You made a SELECTION WHEEL for an impractical, utterly USELESS addon cosmetic that essentially DISRUPTS the hunting experience, but you somehow didnt think it appropriate to give players that same ability to interact with their inventory?!
I think it's safe to say that the "success" of this game is entirely predicated on the consumers inability to refund purchases.
Bloodhounds are tracking dogs, they track pretty much anything, yet somehow they're limited to sniffing dung and blood?! Useless!
somb help me to find a nice looking red deer
QQ on side mission Bhadari #4 Take a picture of 3 different Bison. Is this a pic with something like a heard, or do I have to take 3 pics each with a different bison?
3 pictures of three different bison. Doesnāt matter if they are in a herd, just that they are different bison each time
What pack is the eckers in?
weapon pack 3
i'd suggest smoking barrels though as it also has a shotgun for class 4-9 with M1 that also uses .30-06 like the eckers
wp3 though gives you a .22 pistol if you prefer using that for goose/duck huntin
Smoking barrels + weapon pack 1 is my recommendation
how do you get rid of pink zones on the map?
You have to create pressure somewhere else
Creating pressure in one spot removes it from another
Pretty much. Managing hunting pressure is an essential skill you need to learn
My Whitetail zones used to spawn good bucks now it only spawns 1 or 2 does why is that?
RNG.
literally just bad luck.
Sometimes respawns will use different zones than the ones you killed
This
Itās something I continually deal with when lynx grinding. Sometimes, one lake will have like seven or eight lynx, I meme that lake, next day, only like one or two lynx there. Then I go to a different lake, and thereās like five or six there that werenāt there previously
So the hunt club beta server side dog patch didnāt fix anything. My second dog just hit lvl 16 and slow mo tracks. This company....
I really hope ultimate hunting is good
Lies lies lies. Shouldāve been fixed March 31st when this was posted. Beware itās still not fixed

How often do all the dlc go on sale on steam
Hello all, just bought the areas scope and the zeroing perk (both grades) and seem to be missing my shots, is there any tricks to this, like if I sight my gun to 300 and the animal is 250, should I am lower I assume or right where I want it to go?
250m shot zeroed at 300m you should aim for bottom 3rd of the lung on a broadside shot
I myself am more comfortable with bullet drop though so anything under 275m or so I zero for 150m and aim top of lung/bottom of spine so the bullet can drop to where I want it to make contact. Maybe that would be easier for you
There is a shooting range on the bottom right āislandā of hirschfelden that you can go to for practice to get yourself dialed in
Ok, thanks, my brother used to be able to do some weird funky math in his head almost instantly to know where to shoot, was dumb
Lol for most itās just practice. After shooting thousands of virtual animals it becomes quite easy
After a couple hundred you should be locked in
Yeah it just becomes muscle memory same with lead
Is anyone have a problem with there camera mine is getting blocked by something invisible in game
whats max weight for black & white tail?
I have just reinstalled the game and add ons again and the bugs that were there before I did that are still there now.
I think that the developers should pass the game on to someone who knows what they are doing and take up knitting.
Every time they do something new or a update they always have bugs included.
Now I really am pigged off about wasting months and nearly a year on this game not to mention all the money I have spent.
If you have the bloodhound dlc I know itās cuase go problems just uninstall it and see if your game works
No I don't have bloodhound.
It's because they didn't watch what they were doing when they created the update
EVERY time they add something new there is ALWAYS a bug.
They have no clue what they are doing.
Once this new hunting game comes out I am deleting this
Itās the same with every game itās not the devs your being greedy if you want a game with no bugs you can play call of duty great game for kids like you
No I know all games have a bug or too.
But this takes the biscuit.
I have Never Known a game with so many bugs and the don't care what is needed to be done in the game they jus focus on the un needed bug fixes
Have you installed latest update?
I keep my game updated if you want it fixed you have to tell the devs what the problems are not complain
I have but they are not bothered.
Try going in a tent and changing the time and see what happens?
The game will lock.
I have spent a helluva lot of money on a game that is supposed work.
Let me guess you are on pc
Iām on console and the tents work fine
I am not only one to complain about the game.
Which console
Xbox
I had my game crash while trying to change the time at a tent on PC
I have xbox x and virgin fibre and this is the only game I have that crashed
Well internet doesnt really affect game performance though
Just stuff like whether or not youll lag in multiplayer
Another bug is when I tried changing a scope rifle showed no scope.
I only play single player so why the problems?
Is your Xbox one x an older model
Because theres bugs in the game, it has nothing to do with your net
I got it October before virus appeared
Performance from Xbox could be issue Iām on an older one cuase my one s stop taking disk and this one doesnāt run as well
This game has never been well optimized for console and over time it seems the issues just get worse and worse
Mine freezes once in a while but it doesnt slow my game down
The game is fine for me it seem to be yāallās gameplay messing up itās not doing much for me
Though that tends to be the case when you pile broken code on top of broken code
Well I started playing this in October and it has had no end of problems.
Are you in America by any chance
Iām in the United States yes and Iāve played the game since it came out on console years ago and the only bugs Iāve noticed were when it first come out on console
I live in uk so.
I have just had to restart it AGAIN
I can't wait for the new hunting game to come out.
With the sound of it it's going to be better than this buggy central game.
There's going to be elephants to start with and animal babies that you can see grow up
Then kill
I dont think its smart to put all your eggs in one basket like that
Look at Cyberpunk, that game looked amazing before launch and it ended up being garbage for pretty well everyone
You cant just go by initial impressions
I have tried the other hunting game that is out and even that has less bugs than this
Iāve tried telling him about bugs being in every game puddle
I do check everything about a game don't worry
Yeah I know, just saying he might be setting his expectations a little high
I think that so far the best hunting game is cabella
If you check everything about a game beforehand, you probably wouldnt be in this situation with COTW, just saying
Go read #šļø“support and see the bugs there going to fix next patch
I noticed that the heading is dark and some headings are white?
Did you read it thought not just look at it
You are probably on a deferent version of the game probably need to check for updates then
I do have a German version on disc
Might be the problem might not but if your one Xbox press the Xbox button the press the menu button on the game and go to manage game and you should see updates press that
Like i said before the bugs started after the latest update
everything has bugs
iv been playing for a week and encountered numerous bugs but nothing game breaking, sure tents break and it crashes occasionally when you try to change the time, but its not really a massive problem
Right the only bugs that I donāt like is the camera itās like theirs a invisible triangle blocking it so you camera shoots up or down messing your shots up
lol this buying ammo stuff is really confusing
what am I supposed to do cuz i bought some ammo that was compatible with a gun I have but im not able to use it
In the pause menu you should be able to go to your inventory and click on the ammo ethier drag it for pc or or click it and click on the gun to put it in your gun
ohh you have to put it in the gun. I think i was just dragging it into my inventory
I remember when I was new it was confusing for me to
lol thank you
I've had issues with random crashes ever since I got Te Awarowa. No apparent reason for them. I've crashed within seconds of being in the reserves, switching equipment, fast traveling, and have even crashed just sitting there. TA totally screwed the playability for me.
Hmm
most weapons can accept multiple different ammo types, so you need to equip the ammo type you intend to use by dragging it onto the weapon in the inventory
Yeah something with the bug fixes in the Te awaroa patch broke so many other things and caused many crashes that they havenāt resolved yet. They originally said they didnāt know there was an issue when everyone on discord was complaining about it but then they owned up to it and if you check the #š¢ļø“game-news they are still trying to find fixes for the uptick in crashes
thanks for the reply, was kinda annoying that they said they didn't know anything when I spent hours with tech support trying to troubleshoot the issue. They kept trying to say it was on my end, and I kept telling them i didn't have issues until i downloaded TA, and that the issues coincided with the download, they kept telling me they can't figure out what was happening and kept insisting it was on my end, finally I just said screw it. Hopefully they will get it fixed. Thanks for the update though.
what bow is the best
I like the longbow
is the bear claw good
Idk Iāve just used the longbow
there is no "best" bow. It boils down to what do you prefer. Some like the long bows, some like the crossbows, others like the compounds. Use what you like the most.
thank you im new to the game
If you get accurate with the long bow š© itās so nice especially with the 700 grain arrows
Hits like Francis Ngannou
i have used it and i liked it for water buffalo and white tail
You should try it on moose
do you know good spots for water buffalo i can get like one to spawn
Uh not really Iāve played this game for 4 days so Iām about as new as you are
@fallow cairn you know any good spots for water Buffalo
Middle right and bottom of map
Anyone have an issue with the dog's tracker level getting stuck at lvl 16 and 0%
Or, just stuck at any level, 0% xp
do the deployable hunting towers work for missions just like a regular hunting tower?
Best spot for water buffalo is mid coast
There is your answer ^ @vale stirrup
Top and bottom right lakes are also good but mid coast is definitely best. So many of them there at their drink time
Depends on the mission, but in my experience, no
where do i find the place to "summon" my dog
Go to the kennel in the store thing @frozen forge
Like you will see store,storage,garage and then kennel
ah thanks
any tips on how to tackle Tressler #3 on Hirsch? having trouble even find a single boar track in the area (Bohndorf Lake)
Guys Iām tracking a albino mule deer but the blood trail goes into the next set but that set goes backwards the way I came
Nevermind found him
Hey I asked earlier [on the wrong channel tbf] but anyone got any idea how to fix streaming issues? Lag only ever on the viewers end, and it doesn't occur with any other game.
I tried both fullscreen + windowed mode vov
Lag only ever on the viewers end, and it doesn't occur with any other game.
Lag as in "delay between you doing something and viewer seeing it" or lag as in "low framerates"?
I don't quite know what on my end I could change?
low frames
or dropped frames too according to streamlabs
sorry i wasnt entirely clear
dropped frames could result from desynchronization between the refresh rate of the game and the refresh rate of the recording software
try enabling V-sync in-game and see if that changes anything
any idea of how to fix it? I was streaming CotW the other day but the lag got so bad (viewer end) that i just outright switched games
Ok! TYVM
sent send too soon :P/too late
not entirely sure if that would work, but it's an idea worth trying
I have heard that can be a thing overall from other streamers w/ other games
btu its a start!
(for reference, V-sync synchronizes the game's framerate with your monitor's refresh rate. most people leave it off because it puts an extra load on the graphics processor)
ok
here's an article that can help if that doesn't solve the issue
https://streamlabs.com/content-hub/post/dropped-frames-cpugpu-issues-and-improving-stream-quality
thank you so much! I did a small test there now and it seems to be working fine, could have been as of right now but yea,
^^ ā¤ļø hopefully my next CotW stream wont be riddled with issues
Any tips for the mission of the two coyotes with a bow?
Is there anyway you can turn it up where animals don't disappear after like 450 yards? To like possibly 6-7-800yds
It's a pain in the ass trying to spot for animals when you can only see them from 450 yards away roughly
450 is like maximum range of your riffle .
howdy. i wanted to confirm a couple statements i ran into online about animal respawns
- need zones can grow in number of occupants
- the map always has a roughly static number of animals for each species
Okay but is there anyway where you can see animals farther so you can do like a spot and stalk I'll be able to see them and then get into range
- nope, animal group sizes are consistent
- not sure but I'm thinking yes
negative. there is no render distance slider that you can touch
render-in distance is 375 meters, de-render distance is 417 meters. those are set in stone
Shooting range extends up to 500 m (540 roughly yards)
Damn ok thanky much
need zones can grow in number of occupants
it is possible for animals to respawn into a herd, but most likely in the same herd they were originally in. or an entire new herd can spawn in
and the number of animals using a need zone can change based on respawns
on my own i sorta came up with that theory
the map always has a roughly static number of animals for each species
for the most part, yes
the game will try to keep the number of animals in each species consistent
and i decided to cull entire herds with populations of less than 3 members in the hopes that they respawn into other, existing herds, thereby growing the numbers in those herds and lowering the total number of groups
bragging rights?
That's bannable in this server
yeah don't mention you're using stuff like that
J) I will not share images of, or discuss cheats, hacks or Mods. This ruins the game for others.
hmmm no that is just the farthest Target you can set up using the gun range in Hirschfelden
probably, yeah
now you CAN take shots at 450+ meters, but you need one heck of an elevation change between you and your target
my longest shot was 495 meters (almost a 300m elevation difference), and the goat was RIGHT at the edge of render when i pulled the trigger
Is there a way to look at animals youāve killed? Like scroll through them idk. Or the ones youāve saved or whatever? Sorry I just got this game like 2 days ago
There are trophy lodge dlcs. You can taxidermize animals and place them in there š Welcome to the game!
saved harvests require you to have a lodge (which you then have to taxidermize to put in a lodge)
there is a codex as well that shows the 20 most recent animals you've killed
sometimes people (me included) are known to meme their latest harvests with a single species when grinding for a diamond or rare of a specific animal
like this screenshot from a month or so ago during my (still ongoing) lynx grind
Thanks! Do all the DLC come with the lodge or just 2? I checked the lodge thing in the menu and it looked like there were 2 to pick from.
Ohhh wait so there is a separate DLC for lodge
And it doesnāt just come with one of the maps?
no. the lodges are separate from the maps. they are indeed separate DLC's
Oh nice they are 2 bucks Iāll have to grab one. Thanks!
i recommend Saseka safari as it's larger and has a multimount base size that spring creek manor doesn't
^ Exactly that. Spring Creek looks better in my opinion but it's a lot smaller and is missing one multimount size so getting Saseka gets you more space and all the mount types.
saseka safari is just better value for the money
Yup. Wish they would expand Creek a bit or something since I really like how it looks vs Saseka.
what about a lodge the size of saseka with the aesthetics of spring creek manor?
Yeah I def like the fancy look of spring creek but Iām all about the better deal
I havenāt even taxidermied a single animal because i donāt want to waste the money š© too bad they donāt have a cash pack DLC
that's what saved harvests is for. if you either can't or won't taxi an animal on the spot, you can save up to ten harvests to taxidermize later on using the saved harvests
Yea don't worry about taxing in the beginning too many. Unless you do get a diamond or a rare, save it and tax later if you can't afford it then.
I feel like they barely explain any of this game to you šš I had to learn about the visibility from a YouTube video. I was like...whatās that dot?
lmao there is a tutorial in the codex
Oh that reminds me of another question
but it is....... a joke.... to put it lightly
When I track an animal the icon comes up in the corner to show what it is, but in the I think top right corner (just closed the game for the night but I think thatās it) there is an icon and a number that I have no idea what it means
the icon is worthless
the number tells you what class the animal is, which is based on its size, toughness, and a couple other factors
this number is important, as it will determine what weapons you can use on it and pass the "appropriate ammo" check
Oof. And I assume doc isnāt gonna explain it to me so Iāll have to learn it all on my own
Can the same species have different numbers?
Everything should be in the codex under tutorials
if you go into the store or your inventory, you will see the "recommended classes" when you scroll over each ammo type
all animals within a species will be the same class
you can have an absolute monster whitetail buck and a tiny whitetail doe, but all whitetails will be class 4 animals
Well thatās good at least
Thanks for the help, Iāll put more time in tomorrow since I have the next 2 days to do nothing. šš¼
š
one more tip: dont aim for the head. hitting the skull on all animals except class 1 (wabbits, ducks, turkey, and geese) will fail the "undamaged trophy organ" check. failing any of the harvest checks drops the trophy one level (i.e. a gold will become a silver)
Example here. "6" in the corner is the animals class. This determines which ammo to use. Each ammo has class ranges tied to them. Then there is animal lvl, 4-Easy in this case. This determines how big the animals is. The higher the lvl, the better the animal will score. Species max at lvl 3, 5 or 9, check from codex which is the max lvl for species.
Yeah Iām not a hunter irl but I have seen enough taxidermy to know you donāt blow a big hole in their face lol
now you can brainshot a tiny doe just for the memes if you want, but don't do it on trophy animals
Thatās a more detailed interface than I get
Yea you unlock more with skills and perks
That makes sense
This is nothing like the deer hunter 3 I grew up with, I canāt believe I have to strategize and think
so that red deer is level 4 - EASY. how big do you think he is?
Red deer max at lvl 9 so lvl 4 is small š
level 4 red deer is actually tiny.
if it were a blacktail or a fallow deer, he'd be a pretty good size. if it were a whitetail, then #EWFixYourGoddamnGame
actually, i rescind the "tiny" statement
i've seen people post level 2 and 3 red deer stags that have two spikes for antlers and they just look hilarious
There is a bit learning curve in the beginning for sure. That's why I'd suggest to enjoy the hunting and not worry too much about scores and stuff just yet. Get some kills, do missions, unlock map, explore and have fun š
Thatās what Iāve been doing today. I feel like I can never find any animals and have to walk forever to find tracks so I started to just go around and unlock outposts and I started running into more animals.
and shoot everything you see š
Iām def trying
I killed a bear but with the wrong ammo smh. And he was sitting down in the picture so I feel like a monster
And he was sitting down in the picture
i've got better poses than that
But are they SADDER š
Haha wow. Do you pick what they look like if you put it in the lodge or are you stuck with how you killed it
you can pick from one of a bunch of poses
Oh good
No sad bear in my lodge
Minding his own business
Alright Iām gonna pass out now but thank you for the help and Iām sure Iāll be back with more questions even after I read through the tutorials š
š
Anytime š Gnight!
Can we have like a hunting contest for a certain animal and we would have to see who gets the biggest and wins
Sooo we have the bloodhound dlc but are there going to be other dog and if yes do we know which dogs
I believe TK mentioned retrievers and pointers in the future but its not confirmed
Hotdog dlc thaaank you
I've been on the grind for a diamond Roosevelt Elk but I've had no luck. Got any good locations for me to look?
if you finish the main story line on layton there is a possible diamond at the end of one line
3 different possible diamonds actually
How do I make White Tail respawn? My old method isn't working.
Wait a few in-game days.
Skip around 4-6 in game days (change the time back one minute each time), restart game. That will speed up the respawn process
āChange the time back one minute each timeā what does that mean?
Alright I canāt find the codex rip
lets say the current time is 13:00. set the time to 12:59.
this will make the game skip through an entire day
i've never tried that, but setting it to one minute back is a safer bet
Iāll keep that in mind thanks
When hunting whitetail i go to a tent (cheaper to reset time that way), change time to 12:35, then 12:34, 12:33, 12:32, 12:31, 12:30, turn off game, turn game back on. Thatāll be the best bet to have your respawns take place as quick as possible and will be at the start of whitetail drink time. For other species I do the same thing but coordinate the time with their drink time.
So why drink time vs eating or resting?
Also, do you do it in a specific location, like some kind of spawn point? Or will they just respawn no matter what as long as itās near a need zone?
Drink time is usually the best time to hunt most species. You know they will be at water vs in the forests which are huge and hard to find animals and they have short sight lines. I usually reset time at a tent for cost savings (doesnāt matter where) and then fast travel to a location where Iāll have to run 500 or so meters to a zone. That time will allow animals to get into their zones which usually takes 30-45 in game minutes.
I donāt think where you choose to reset time has any effect on animals respawning if that answers your question
Okay thank you! Iāve been having trouble with like chasing stuff through the woods or up a hill which is near impossible even if I walk after it for an hour so Iāll try setting up a tent near a drinking spot.
Wait there is a mobile version of cotw? Lol
It isnt Cotw but there is a mobile game made by ew
@undone bison when u reset time do it outside of render distance of them. Or reset game after u change time it's alot faster because sometimes they still don't come back, especially lions or smart predators
Hey ! Hello everyone, I've got an issue with "Brother" Quest in Vurhonga š¦ He want I kill an animal next to a lake but when I do that nothing happen, can you help ? thanks
Iām having a ton of trouble with the ākill 2 coyotesā mission. Do I have to do this at night? I see tracks and I find droppings that are āvery freshā or ājust nowā during the day but I never actually see any coyotes no matter how long I creep after them š©
i recommend doing it at night cuz that is when their drink time is
Do I need to come across a drinking spot during the time they use it? Iāve been all around the lakes in cheelah and havenāt found a single drink zone for coyotes
you can discover zones during or shortly after the animals use it
coyotes drink from 19:00 to 23:00
Okay thank you! Iāll change the time and see if I can find some spots
i shot a level 5 albino moose and when i tracked it i couldn't find it at the end of the blood trail... i brought my dog out and when he searched for it he just stood there. this a known issue?
If it passed the de-render point, it's gone.
They already reproduced this issue so that fix should hopefully come faster.
in other words, place your shots well right now.
and dont take 400m+ shots
Lmao if I saw a albino lvl 5 moose Iād crawl into his heart and shoot it then just to be sure to drop it
i'm generally pretty comfortable with long range shots and don't care about how fast i drop them, but if i had known about this glitch i would have gotten a lot closer
but man i'm so angry
as someone who had a possible-diamond goose glitch into the ground once, I feel your pain.
...although, now I'm wondering
since the game generally respawns downed animals that aren't immediately picked up
does that apply to animals affected by the bug?
i'm not sure.
i messed up a fallow once and tried that but didn't see it
i think the only reason i'm still playing this after the moose is because i'm getting amazing wt respawns
there will eventually be other albino moose too
yeah true
i'm not sure if i want to shoot a go if i can spawn one with this glitch going on
My longest heart shot was on a bear which I couldnāt see due to trees and it was 381meters
i've gotten a 423 meter neckshot
200 meter heartshot on a fleeing lynx.
i've gotten a heartshot on a lynx from between the hind legs š
Can you hit animals that went out of render?
oooh that would be cool
not to my knowledge
So that means that thereās sadly a limit to how far you can hit an animal
Right now, yes.
It's an irritation, but not a game-breaker so long as you put up with not going longrange.
anyones game spontaneously uninstall itself? i whent to play today and its not installed
That might be a computer problem
things like that happen when there's storage-space issues
if not that, important computer part possibly starting to fail
Why the hell does cotw need an exact 40.00gb update?
replacing a lot of files, particularly large ones. tho not sure why on earth the xbox update ballooned to 40gb when the steam version is 14gb
Same but mine was only 40.00, cotw was like 62
Yeah maybe the whole game is only 40gb now?
Wait no
could have something to do with the microsoft certification process and requirements
It went up by 20
I only have the Xbox S so it might not store as well?
Idrk
I got a 21gb update blast night before it uninstalled itself, then when I whent to reinstall it it wasn't actually uninstalled
Silent patch GO are working???
Iām joking obviously, theyāve only been out for a year
is every great one broken on pc or is it just occasional? i play on xbox so i'm just curious
What's this 21.86 GB update steam wants me to download?
@tough matrix #š¢ļø“game-news
A 22gb hot fix?
Strewth
Can I still add animals to my trophy lodge even if I donāt download the update
Nevermind figured it out
I can't figure out why my update was only 14.2gb
and they added a half GB to the game file
now they need to work on the other bugs and was littler
Whatās the point of playing multiplayer? Do you hunt together? I assume only one person gets the kill/trophy
a lot of files were replaced. also the update is about 14 gigs on steam
the person who claims it gets the trophy, but if multiple peeps shoot the animal, the money and xp gets divvied up based on how much damage each person did
also you can do challenges, like first to get a silver, gold, diamond, etc
completely different spawns, increasing your chance of a diamond since you can server hop
Ok so I can just hop into a server and hunt on my own and still take them back as trophies etc?
yes. that's how many content creators get diamonds in a lot of their vids
yeah you can mount any trophies killed on multiplayer
Ok so I know one of the DLC maps is free for others who donāt have it as long as the host does, is it that way for all?
yep
as long as at least one person owns the map, anyone can play on it
Iām a baby hunter still with like barely anything done, can I get a diamond already or do you have to fulfill x amount of requirements before you can see them? I know there are shooting requirements
so lets say i own parque fernando but my friend doesn't. I can open a multiplayer session on parque and he would be able to join
Sorry Iām rapid firing questions
i would recommend getting a lot of perks first
it's definitely doable without perks though
How do I get perks to spend? Just leveling?
yeah
I also donāt understand zeroing (Iām so sorry yall)
it goes in a patterns with skills to perks each level
Ah ok
Single player is better for grinding specific species to get diamonds of that species and multiplayer can be better for finding random diamonds from all species on the reserve. Multi can also be less boring as you never know whatās around the corner as single player if you play enough you know the vast majority of what is on your map
Okay yāall have convinced me to try so hopefully I can find a ps4 multiplayer here in like 25 mins
really it's luck on average people get around one Diamond per 100 of the same animals killed I got my diamond duck about 10-15 ducks in but I also looked and seen it score which have to get a couple of perks makes life a lot easier
to get a diamond, you must first find an animal with a diamond trophy rating (the rating depends on the size of the trophy, usually the antlers/horns)
once you find a diamond-rating animal, then you must do four things:
-Shoot the animal with proper ammo (see the ammo's recommended classes for which classes it will pass this check on)
-Hit at least one vital organ (heart, lungs, liver, neck bones, and brain)
-Don't damage the trophy organ (in nearly all cases, this is the skull)
-Shoot the animal no more than twice
if you fail any of those checks, the medal (gold, diamond, etc) will drop by one
How do you know the animal is diamond before you shoot it?
oh god yes whatever you do don't ruin it like I did my diamond black tail
either by level or by its trophy estimate (if you have the spotting knowledge skill)
max level animal is usually but not always diamond (though some animals sometimes make it at one below max)
A Max Level animal has a great but not guaranteed chance of being a diamond and trophy rating that shows up whenever you look at it give you a rough estimate as well as long as you have the perk for the trophy rating sight
I donāt think I can see levels yet. Unless Iām just not paying attention which is completely possible
level is things like "3 - VERY EASY"
I can see like. The...type? Number? Like blacktails are 4
But it doesnāt say level
Afaik
level = difficulty rating
Ok ok Iāll see if I can find it when I log on here in a min
pretty sure you can see that regardless of skills
I must not be paying attention then š
the max level depends on the species. each species will max at "3 -VERY EASY", "5 - MEDIUM", or "9 - LEGENDARY". if you want, i can give you a list of what maxes at what
@shrewd turret the little marker in the top right corner the deer was a level 5 which is max level for a black tail and it's score is showen there as well as long as you have the perk
the marker in the top right is the animal's class
that determines what weapons & ammo you can use against it and pass the "proper ammo" check
the "5 - MEDIUM" is its difficulty rating (or "Level" as we call it)
Same
this blacktail has a pretty good chance at making diamond based on the fact that it is a level 5
@shrewd turretthe number on top right tells you what class the animal is. the level number beside "medium" just tells you about how big the animal is. so like class animal tells you what guns to use
blacktail are class 4
no problem i thought thats what u were trying to see the difference of
shown beside the little animal thing
Yeah it was
is there a particular animal your wanting?
front page of this spreadsheet shows you every animal in the game and what class they are (sorted by reserve), as well as what classes every ammo type in the game is rated for (as well as the weapons that use it)
the other pages have a ton of info on need zone times, fur type rarities, trophy rating requirements, max weight, etc
huh
It doesnāt come up when Iām tracking, and when Iām aiming at an animal I donāt get any info about what it is
oh when you are tracking an animal, it won't show you much
when you get a skill called "track knowledge" you can see the weight estimate and the gender of the animal the track belongs to
spotting the animal requires you use the binoculars (you are able to use the scope to spot if you have the "scope spotting" skill)
Omg ok that makes sense
yep gotta use binos until u get the spotting skill
id get the rangefinder binos too btw, also new scope and guns
once you unlock them ofc
^^
Omg when you spot it it glows wtf
I would never figure this shit out without you guys
The moose I just spotted said 1-trivial so I assume that means heās a pile of garbage
is it a he or a she?
She I think
I would have shot it anyway because money but it was so far
Does the pressure on an area go away on its own after a while?
it only goes away as it builds up in other areas
Ugh ok
(this is part of the reason why having good map coverage is important: so if enough pressure builds up in one area, you can leave it be and go apply it elsewhere)
True Iām just trying to hunt black tail at night at cheelah lake and the whole area is purple rip
lol i've gotten areas bright pink before
side note:
you can reduce the pressure you generate by hunting from a blind or tripod or by hunting with a bow (or doing both at the same time if you so please)
Good to know
āyour dog has higher chance of slaying close to youā that is this mean? What slaying mean?
from where, exactly?
oh yea, be on the lookout for rare fur types. even if its a female that has the rare fur type, kill it
I got an albino blacktail
It was my first kill in game
wait wot
I didnāt even realize I got it until I got the lodge and saw it was saved
dang, nice
wow congrats
guys answer me plz
It was the first saved one on my list
Ty!
I have one whole trophy in my lodge lmao
where does that come from, again?
perk?
i think that's a typo. probably should read "staying"
oh lol
it won't be as far away from you when walkin around and stuff
So what level do I want a blacktail at if I want a diamond?
Sorry
5
ideally level 5. level 4's can make it from time to time if they spawn with a monster rack tho
But what do I benefit if it is near me?
not really it's just closer
I just saw a 4 but his rack looked big. Heās laying down though I gotta crawl across the whole damn continent to go see
oh ok
if you got the shot I would drop it it's going to be a really nice buck
go slow
does the sad moments ever go away from fuckin up a diamond?
it's been almost a week
still sad over it
i fucked up a diamond iberian wolf one night, but that same night i nailed the sombra wolf right in the heart and got my 6.5mm rayo which definitely made up for it
Well I got all the way over there and it was no where to be seen. Just some 3s and does
Rip
Gonna try a diff spot
The spotting has revolutionized my game play
yes
The 6.5 mm sounds so good
before i got my first diamond i messed up not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 DIAMONDS! i literally just wanted to cry but apparently the first time i got a diamond i got 3 that same day and they just started adding up. i have somewhere above 30 now i believe.
but anyways it eventually goes away because you will get another one maybe even better
also i believe my first diamond was a couple of days before the dog update and before i got him i played for around 2 years, so you can really tell they have added up
Holy mcshits
that deer would have been my first diamond big game animal I have a diamond mallard
Idk if anyone knows but after going out of render the animals are still there but invisible. Just spam the harvest button around the last blood and I picked them up. Or walk around the area and the harvest button pops up
trust me man you'll start getting a ton soon. each time i get one it feels like i get more and more
yesterday i started shooting wt for the first time and easily got 2 diamonds on my own map
wow
it's a common bug with the new patch, a dog can find those invisible bodies usually
@nimble latch yeah I just figured I say something in case no one tried or anything
Where can i find rabbit?
which ones? there are different rabbit species
HIrsch and Awaroa have the only rabbits. Colinas and Layton have hares.
Layton has rabbits. Cuatro and Vurhonga have hares
pretty sure last time I checked, it was jackrabbit and not jackhare
Hmm true. I always thought they were hares.
pretty sure jackrabbits are actually hares. the 'jack' part meaning roughly 'not genuine' or 'counterfeit'. so you're both right in a way i suppose
lol from Wikipedia "Jackrabbits are mammals in the same family as rabbits. All Jackrabbits are hares."
I remembered as much since they act more like hares than rabbits.
All hare species have female diamonds while rabbits have male diamonds so Cotw consideres them rabbits
will I still have to worry about tents getting deleted if I set a dog as inactive before closing the game out?
I dont think so
As they said on official stream yesterday, before you exit the game, fast travel to an outpost and wait for save icon to disappear before shutting down game
same only diamond i have is a mallard
read #šļø“rules rule J
ohh ok
and it's a brown hybrid to I know they ain't that uncommon but still cool
Is there a list where I can see what level each animal should be if I want it to be diamond? Until I get the perk
max level is usually diamond, though there are some that can make it at one below max and some that are notorious for trolling. here's a list of which animal maxes at which level:
Max at 9 - LEGENDARY:
- all felines
- all canines
- all bears
- both types of buffalo
- red deer
Max at 3 - VERY EASY
- all rabbits & hares
- all ducks
- turkey
- siberian musk deer
- roe deer
- whitetail deer (excluding Great Ones)
Max at 5 - MEDIUM
- all animals that were not listed above
Ok cool that makes it easy lol
i can simplify the 9 - LEGENDARY one by saying "all predators, both buffalo, and red deer" since bears, felines, and canines are predators
I donāt have the right ammo/gun for 9 anyway so Iām not even gonna think about those rn lol
difficulty level 9 =/= class 9
foxes, coyotes, and jackals are class 2, but they max at 9 - LEGENDARY.
conversely, plains bison and european bison are class 9, but they max at 5 - MEDIUM
@shrewd turret
lol
btw, class 9 only encompasses five species
five particularly large and/or dangerous species
the five class 9 animals are:
-European Bison (Hirschfelden)
-Plains Bison (Yukon Valley and Silver Ridge Peaks)
-Cape Buffalo (Vurhonga Savannah)
-Water Buffalo (Parque Fernando)
-Lion (Vurhonga Savannah)
i suspect lions are up their despite their size (weighing less than half of what the moose, a class 8 animal, weighs) because they are an apex predator and are known to be very durable and very dangerous
I was killed by 3 diff Cape buffalo yesterday Iām tired of them
oh my god the buffalo
i call them murder buffalo
cape and water buffalo are kinda infamous for charging at you at the most random of times
it seems like they take offense to you just BREATHING from like 400 meters away
Yeah and my dog only warned me the first time
I was like great heās got my back
The second time itās like this several@thousand lb animal just snuck up on us cause my dog didnāt say jack to me smh
you encounter wildebeest yet?
Not up close but Iāve seen them. Do they attack?
no, but their stampedes are legendary
Not intentionally, just if your in there way
you spook a herd of wildebeest, you'll hear thunder
You feel like a pinball machine lol
Iāve only seen like one walking alone
There more on the very bottom of the map
you normally see them on the bottom third or so of the map
Does anyone have this problem where whenever you leave a map it gets rid of everywhere as you have discovered the names and everything
Not the markers but their regions and sub-regions
Which map and which mission gives a weird moose? MOCHA?
Te Awaroa final mission
@sour basin tnx, i was confused because there are no moose on the map of Awaroa
Not able to launch thehunter atm, anyone else?
Tried verifying files
still crashes when loading
if your graphic drivers are up to date, back up your save, reinstall the game (I think uninstalling does not delete your Documents folder, where your save is, do it manually after, like I said, backing it up), see how it goes
if it runs, copy your good savegame again and see if it still runs
if none of this works, send a ticket to support
oh now it came to my mind: a moderator told the other day a guy with your problem to deactivate te awaroa, run the game, then activate again
if you own this dlc, try this workaround
which reserve is the best for earning money? best tip to earn money?
how to get in shop
okey : )
My dog tracker skill is locked at 15 even after the massive patch, it 15 max ?
how to get better rating of animals, every animals when i kill, its bronze or silver š
here is why alot of you guys are having whitetail problems. you have to look very very closely alont the river. also, i think they put alot of the zones on the same side of the outposts to make it even harder on the river.
how many zones should i expect to find along the river?
and i mean like the entire thing
both branches
let me see how many i currently have. but the river is also not the only place they drink
but probly like 12 zones something like that
sometimes the zones u find change the name to moose or something when they turn all doe which means delete it
Yeah I think I have 11 zones on the river. Probably one or two that I havenāt seen yet. I have about 25 overall
literally just found another diamond one also max weight.
same @fallow cairn
will post TS in other channel
Nice! Found a max weight diamond chamois and another diamond fallow last night after hunting Te awaroa for twenty minutes
Damn, will try it, last, map i played on was Te Awaroa actually
first question:
do you understand how trophy rating works?
second question:
do you understand how harvest checks work?
first: there is rating of animals, buth I don't know how it's working,
second: no
the trophy rating of animals is determined by the size of its trophy. for most (not all) antlered and horned species, it is determined by the size, mass, and complexity of the antlers/horns.
for other animals, it is closely linked to the animal's weight.
for an animal to be, say, a gold, it has to be above a certain trophy rating (that threshold varies by species)
ok thanks
now onto harvest checks.
For, say, a gold-rated animal to actually score a gold rating, you must pass four checks:
-Shoot animal with proper ammo type
-Hit at least one vital (vitals are the heart, lungs, liver, neck bones, and brain)
-Do not damage the trophy organ (in nearly all cases, this is the skull)
-Shoot the animal no more than twice
if you fail any of these checks, a gold-rated animal will drop to a silver, a silver-rated animal will drop to a bronze, and so on
@craggy tulip
yea, I see
so TL:DR:
find big males, and make a good shot with the right ammo
thanks for help

whats the best way to find people to hunt with
Go to #š¦ļø“find-a-game or #491900727963418624
Say what you want to do, and your system.
That will give people a good overview of you and your play style.
i jsut shot the moose on te ahoura and my game crashed before i harvested it what do i do
Any roe deer?
huh?
wut
Deer Spot
and weapons
would help to have specified that in the beginning lol
anyways
which map are you attempting to hunt roe deer on?
Hri?
what's Hri?
this map might come in handy. they drink at pretty much every body of water between 13:00 and 17:30, with the circled ones being hotspots
as for weapons, my recommendation is the .243 (with polymer tips)
.
not that i mean the hunter classic
not the wild
Are diamonds more common on multiplayer?
spawn rates are the same, but you are more likely to find one due to the fact that it's a different population and you can server hop
Ah ok
Idk why I care Iāve killed like maybe 30 animals total
I need to focus on money and just shoot stuff instead of being like āwell thatās a level 2ā smh
lol
If I create a multiplayer game is it my current map? Like if I kill a bunch of stuff on Layton and have purple areas and I make a multiplayer is it the same as my single player?
Yes. When you host MP game, you basically open your map to others. Every needzone found or destroyed will carry over to your SP game too.
Thatās a bummer
Well that's multiplayer. People usually open their maps so other people will find more zones in their map and kill ton of animals so they have new respawns later.
Makes sense. So if other people come to my map and run around it opens stuff for me?
What if they claim an outpost? Does that mean I can use it to now? Like one I havenāt been to
Outposts, points of interest and towers you need to open yourself. So when joining multiplayer, you have all the same outposts and stuff open as in your own maps even if the host doesn't have them. If that makes sense.
Yes it does, thanks
Hey anyone want to play with me, show me the ropes. New to game./
Has anyone done some datamining and looked at the differences of the .22 rifle and .22 pistol? Is there any power difference between the two?
They use same ammunition, in real life you will get more power from the rifle as the bullet is being pushed for longer up the barrel, and because you can introduce more twist through the longer barrel it should also be more accurate.
That's why I was asking.
Actually, that's just a part of why I was asking. I was thinking about the suggestion on adding a .44-40 levergat, and thought about a revolver to pair up with it in the same caliber. Just wanted to know if the .22 in the game currently behaves differently in the rifle and the pistol.
Same ammunition so I don't think there would be much of a power difference before range is factored in, but the pistol's bullet drifts a bit to one side I think.
Yeah Iāve lost 2 diamonds that way a turkey and a sika
That's why I don't let anyone on my map
@jagged obsidian that sika is gonna look good in my lodge
Hahaha š
Wanna see it tonight
Sure š
Ima put it with the axis
my lights keep going out of my quad
Do the devs actually get and read the error reports when we send them
like, through the website?
Through game crashes
The game crashes and you can send a report I was wondering if they see those
i am actually unsure of that. you can, however, also report those crashes through the website (be sure to describe what you were doing immediately before the game crashed, and send your save files if needed)
Ok
Iāve reported the quad lights issue and got confirmation, and sent more follow up information. So they are definitely aware and hopefully fixed soon.
Ok
I finally got a brown bear and it crashed lol
Can someone give me steps on the crash reporting cause I have a ton
I crashed again I give up
That's the 5th crash in 1 hour
I've sent reports every time so I'll just wait
Its all on Midved tiga so yeah
