nope, you have to unlock it and buy it

i'd say 1 and smoking barrels

crisp ginkgo
#

I cant drop a moose with the 30-06

nimble latch
#

are you aiming for a lung/heart shot?

hidden basin
nimble latch
#

if you don't hit a vital organ, it's not going to go down unless it's .338 or .300

crisp ginkgo
#

o damn

#

I mean yea im aiming for lung / heart

#

but i guess i suck at aiming cause they never go down

nimble latch
#

where do you aim at them?

hidden basin
#

.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

nimble latch
#

they have a big heart if you are shooting it head on, otherwise can go for a single lung and track a while

crisp ginkgo
#

Got it

#

thanks for the help

nimble latch
#

moose also are kinda dumb so you can walk up to 150sh meters and then crouch closer to get a better angle

crisp ginkgo
#

Yea and i wanna use the soft point bullets right

nimble latch
#

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

hidden basin
crisp ginkgo
#

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?

hidden basin
hidden basin
last hemlock
#

yea ik but all the other games can do it

crisp ginkgo
#

@last hemlock Do you usually drop frames while streaming other games too?

last hemlock
#

no

hidden basin
#

COTW is a very GPU heavy game

crisp ginkgo
#

I dont think this game is very well optimized for gpu so it might be just drop the settings

last hemlock
#

is there anything i can do to up my cpu

hidden basin
#

short of overclocking it or replacing it entirely, not really, other than just finding ways to cut down on CPU or GPU load

last hemlock
#

you know any good ways is it because i have so many games or?

hidden basin
#

tho i should mention overclocking the CPU will void any warranties you have

last hemlock
#

ik

crisp ginkgo
#

Overclocking your cpu isnt really worth it unless you have like a 2080 ti in your computer

last hemlock
#

ok i understand

hidden basin
#

i'd say experiment with lowering settings

#

like graphics settings

last hemlock
#

ok but thats not fun

hidden basin
#

it might be necessary if you wanna stream

#

other than getting a monster PC, that might be your only viable option

last hemlock
#

ik but like what uses cpu

#

does apps use it when i dont play them?

hidden basin
#

CPU is not the issue here

#

GPU is

last hemlock
#

oh

hidden basin
#

CPU = processor
GPU = graphics card

last hemlock
#

is that like 2080 and stuff

hidden basin
#

i believe so

last hemlock
#

what u have

hidden basin
#

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)

last hemlock
#

ok

crisp ginkgo
#

Sorry to interrupt but yea those polymer tips do really help

hidden basin
#

toldja

hidden basin
# last hemlock ok

i'd say play around with the graphics settings a bit, especially the ones marked "high performance impact"

crisp ginkgo
#

Is the 7mm magnum worth?

jagged obsidian
#

It covers classes 4-9 so basically everything except your row deer and springbok and under

#

@crisp ginkgo

crisp ginkgo
#

Will it stop stuff?

jagged obsidian
#

I mean it can take everything that’s big game

crisp ginkgo
#

Better than the 30-06?

jagged obsidian
#

Way better

#

Can take down bison

#

And Buffalo

hidden basin
# crisp ginkgo 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

jagged obsidian
#

This ^

#

Only catch is that it’s break action so you only get one shot so make it count @crisp ginkgo

nimble latch
#

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

jagged obsidian
#

Ye but it still passes integrity check tho don’t it

#

@nimble latch

nimble latch
#

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

jagged obsidian
#

Does the 6.5mm take down elk hood

#

Good

nimble latch
#

40 pen, 4 expansion so it does work and it doesn't weigh that much

ripe rover
#

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

hidden basin
fallow cairn
#

@jagged obsidian the 6.5mm is the least powerful rifle in the 4-8 class

jagged obsidian
#

Well fuck I already bought it

fallow cairn
#

It’s still decent though. It’s probably the most accurate over long range and sounds and looks good it’s just not quite as powerful as some of the others like the .303 or the .30-06’s

#

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 isn’t a huge deal. It just takes a bit longer to track when you’re trying to grind a bunch of animals in a drink zone time

hidden basin
#

it's lighter than all other class 4+ rifles

fallow cairn
#

True. Is it 0.5 units lighter?

hidden basin
#

0.5 units lighter than the m1 and .303, 1 unit lighter than the .270, 1.5 units lighter than the 7mm and eckers

fallow cairn
#

Wow the eckers is heavy. Never really used it much so didn’t notice that. They should probably change that because the M1 completely outshines it currently. Same with the .303

hidden basin
#

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

fallow cairn
#

Also they should change the .270 a bit, I know it’s a base game rifle but it’s šŸ’© compared to the rest of the 4-8 rifles

hidden basin
#

i honestly believe they should drop the .270 and 6.5mm to class 3-7

fallow cairn
#

Yeah I’m with you on that

hidden basin
#

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

fallow cairn
#

As much as I’d like to agree I don’t think they should add anything to the game in terms of mechanics or features until they fix and optimize the game. Once they’ve done that then yeah that would be a good idea

hidden basin
#

100% agree with that

tranquil tundra
#

I'd be all for the edit to the .270

hidden basin
#

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

fallow cairn
#

Example?

hidden basin
#

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

fallow cairn
#

Agreed. And I think that’s a thing I just don’t think they implemented it properly.

hidden basin
#

also i feel that at lightning hands lvl 3, the revolvers should get a speedloader reload

fallow cairn
#

My god are they slow to reload

#

Even with lvl 3 lightning

#

Love the .454, great gun, but reloading frustrates me for sure

hidden basin
#

speedloader would definitely speed things up

fallow cairn

For sure

#

@tacit wadi Are you thinking reserve or weapon pack or what?

tacit wadi
#

no maps, just weapons and other stuff

fallow cairn
#

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

jagged obsidian
fallow cairn
#

Or rares

#

Ummm. Hyperion prob

hidden basin
fallow cairn
#

Hyperion should be like 12,000 and 7mm is like 40,000+ I think plus ammo

hidden basin
#

7mm is 36k plus ammo

jagged obsidian
#

Guys my wild boar tracks aren’t popping up

#

What do I do

#

Nevermind found him

fallow cairn
#

Yeah I’d recommend the Argus later on but that’s 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 you’re not trying to kill 2-3 animals quickly

#

How come no matter where i shoot the animal its bleed rate is: very low

fallow cairn
#

What animal are you shooting with which weapon?

last hemlock
#

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

fallow cairn
#

It’s definitely not a lung if it’s very low bleed rate

#

Probably didn’t get the penetration. Was the animal moving? You need to lead moving animals

last hemlock
#

I mean.... it was sideways to me. And i aimed very carefully. Not moving.

fallow cairn
#

Or it could’ve hit bone

#

Slowed down bullet and reduced penetration

last hemlock
#

Maybe. We will see.. trying to track it down now.

fallow cairn
#

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 don’t know you can swap between seeing the animal and seeing your shot with transparent animal using right trigger on console

which weapon is better, .270 stradivarius or the solokhin (weapon pack2)?

Solo are very good

nimble latch

oh, solokhin is the soft point only rifle?

tacit wadi

sour basin

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

amber edge

So it doesn't eliminate the scent it just lowers it

helps with reducing detection

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

fallow cairn
# wide dome 30-06 or 300. british which is better??

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

#

I’m on console and don’t have much issue with it but I’ve also played this game and other FPS games a lot

hidden basin
#

on a per-shot basis, the .303 is better

#

but the M1 being semi-auto completely offsets that slight power difference

what are the pros and cons of using the bleat caller vs grunt?

hidden basin
#

i believe one has a longer range and the other has better attraction

nimble latch
#

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

fallow cairn
#

I’ve found lately that the bleat caller isn’t really working. Whitetail won’t come into the bleat caller whether you’re 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

#

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.

hidden basin
#

that would depend a lot on your playstyle. i recommend you go with whichever ones best suit you

fallow cairn
#

Improvised blind first IMO. Mashing your caller 5 times will generally work without fatal attraction but works better with it. I’d go improvised blind then work on the other. Both of them compliment your play style by the sounds of it

solid tartan
#

It feels like callers dont really do anything, and I don't know if its because Fatal Attraction just makes them worth it.

fallow cairn
#

How do you use your caller?

#

There’s a range cap on them so be within that range. Also if you’re only hitting the caller once or twice it doesn’t work as well as hitting it 5 times to get their attention

solid tartan
#

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.

fallow cairn
#

Right but how many times do you use the caller? And how often?

solid tartan
#

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.

fallow cairn
#

Try spamming it 5 times then twice every 45 seconds after that

#

That works wonders for me

solid tartan
#

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!

fallow cairn
#

It’s pretty tough to spook them by using the caller too much. You have to be non stop hitting it. Using the method above I’ve never spooked an animal with the caller

solid tartan
#

I didn't know if you could scare them by doing that, but I've definitely never used them enough to do that.

hidden basin
#

when im trying to lure lynx in, i usually blast the caller once every 15-20 seconds or so

solid tartan
#

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.

fallow cairn
#

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 they’re already coming in. Won’t spook them though

solid tartan
#

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.

fallow cairn
#

Depends on the level. Low level females will walk right up to you, some males will stay a bit further away

hidden basin
#

beware tho: if you try it on wolves, you WILL get a wolf pack attack once one of them gets close enough

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!

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 ā€˜island’ 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

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.

slate herald
bold torrent
#

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

slate herald
#

It’s the same with every game it’s 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

bold torrent
#

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?

slate herald
#

I keep my game updated if you want it fixed you have to tell the devs what the problems are not complain

bold torrent
#

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

slate herald
#

I’m on console and the tents work fine

bold torrent
#

I am not only one to complain about the game.
Which console

slate herald
#

Xbox

dire karma
#

I had my game crash while trying to change the time at a tent on PC

bold torrent
#

I have xbox x and virgin fibre and this is the only game I have that crashed

dire karma
#

Well internet doesnt really affect game performance though

#

Just stuff like whether or not youll lag in multiplayer

bold torrent
#

Another bug is when I tried changing a scope rifle showed no scope.
I only play single player so why the problems?

slate herald
#

Is your Xbox one x an older model

dire karma
#

Because theres bugs in the game, it has nothing to do with your net

bold torrent
#

I got it October before virus appeared

slate herald
#

Performance from Xbox could be issue I’m on an older one cuase my one s stop taking disk and this one doesn’t run as well

dire karma
#

This game has never been well optimized for console and over time it seems the issues just get worse and worse

slate herald
#

Mine freezes once in a while but it doesnt slow my game down

#

The game is fine for me it seem to be y’all’s gameplay messing up it’s not doing much for me

dire karma

Though that tends to be the case when you pile broken code on top of broken code

bold torrent
#

Well I started playing this in October and it has had no end of problems.
Are you in America by any chance

slate herald
#

I’m in the United States yes and I’ve played the game since it came out on console years ago and the only bugs I’ve noticed were when it first come out on console

bold torrent
#

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

dire karma
#

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

bold torrent
#

I have tried the other hunting game that is out and even that has less bugs than this

slate herald
#

I’ve tried telling him about bugs being in every game puddle

#

I do check everything about a game don't worry

#

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

slow marsh
#

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 don’t like is the camera it’s like theirs a invisible triangle blocking it so you camera shoots up or down messing your shots up

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

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.

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

hidden basin
#

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"?

eternal mesa
#

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

hidden basin
#

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

eternal mesa
#

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

hidden basin
#

not entirely sure if that would work, but it's an idea worth trying

eternal mesa
#

I have heard that can be a thing overall from other streamers w/ other games

#

btu its a start!

hidden basin
#

(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)

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

#
  1. need zones can grow in number of occupants
  2. the map always has a roughly static number of animals for each species
fierce wave
tranquil tundra
#
  1. nope, animal group sizes are consistent
  2. not sure but I'm thinking yes
hidden basin
#

render-in distance is 375 meters, de-render distance is 417 meters. those are set in stone

fierce wave
fierce wave
hidden basin
#

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

pallid nymph
#

on my own i sorta came up with that theory

hidden basin
#

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

pallid nymph
#

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

hidden basin
tranquil tundra
#

That's bannable in this server

hidden basin
#

yeah don't mention you're using stuff like that

tranquil tundra
#

J) I will not share images of, or discuss cheats, hacks or Mods. This ruins the game for others.

fierce wave
tranquil tundra

probably, yeah

hidden basin

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

shrewd turret
#

Is there a way to look at animals you’ve killed? Like scroll through them idk. Or the ones you’ve saved or whatever? Sorry I just got this game like 2 days ago

shrewd hare
hidden basin
#

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

shrewd turret
#

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 doesn’t just come with one of the maps?

hidden basin
shrewd turret
#

Oh nice they are 2 bucks I’ll have to grab one. Thanks!

hidden basin
#

i recommend Saseka safari as it's larger and has a multimount base size that spring creek manor doesn't

shrewd hare
#

^ 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.

hidden basin
#

saseka safari is just better value for the money

shrewd hare
#

Yup. Wish they would expand Creek a bit or something since I really like how it looks vs Saseka.

hidden basin
#

what about a lodge the size of saseka with the aesthetics of spring creek manor?

shrewd turret
#

Yeah I def like the fancy look of spring creek but I’m all about the better deal

#

I haven’t even taxidermied a single animal because i don’t want to waste the money 😩 too bad they don’t have a cash pack DLC

hidden basin
shrewd hare
#

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.

shrewd turret
#

I feel like they barely explain any of this game to you šŸ™ƒšŸ™ƒ I had to learn about the visibility from a YouTube video. I was like...what’s that dot?

hidden basin
#

lmao there is a tutorial in the codex

shrewd turret
#

Oh that reminds me of another question

hidden basin
#

but it is....... a joke.... to put it lightly

shrewd turret
#

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 that’s it) there is an icon and a number that I have no idea what it means

hidden basin
#

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

shrewd turret
#

Oof. And I assume doc isn’t gonna explain it to me so I’ll have to learn it all on my own

#

Can the same species have different numbers?

shrewd hare
#

Everything should be in the codex under tutorials

hidden basin
#

if you go into the store or your inventory, you will see the "recommended classes" when you scroll over each ammo type

shrewd turret
#

Oh okay perfect

#

I will check out the tutorials tomorrow

hidden basin
#

you can have an absolute monster whitetail buck and a tiny whitetail doe, but all whitetails will be class 4 animals

shrewd turret
#

Well that’s good at least

#

Thanks for the help, I’ll put more time in tomorrow since I have the next 2 days to do nothing. šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

hidden basin
#

šŸ‘

#

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)

shrewd hare
#

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.

shrewd turret
#

Yeah I’m not a hunter irl but I have seen enough taxidermy to know you don’t blow a big hole in their face lol

hidden basin
shrewd turret
#

That’s a more detailed interface than I get

shrewd hare
#

Yea you unlock more with skills and perks

shrewd turret
#

That makes sense

#

This is nothing like the deer hunter 3 I grew up with, I can’t believe I have to strategize and think

hidden basin
#

so that red deer is level 4 - EASY. how big do you think he is?

shrewd hare
#

Red deer max at lvl 9 so lvl 4 is small šŸ˜„

hidden basin
#

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

shrewd hare
#

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 šŸ™‚

shrewd turret
#

That’s what I’ve 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.

How do I make White Tail respawn? My old method isn't working.

tranquil tundra
fallow cairn
#

Skip around 4-6 in game days (change the time back one minute each time), restart game. That will speed up the respawn process

shrewd turret
#

ā€œChange the time back one minute each timeā€ what does that mean?

#

Alright I can’t find the codex rip

hidden basin
shrewd turret
#

So you can’t put it to 13:00?

#

I haven’t tried to skip that much time

hidden basin
#

i've never tried that, but setting it to one minute back is a safer bet

shrewd turret
#

I’ll keep that in mind thanks

fallow cairn
# shrewd turret I’ll 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. That’ll 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.

shrewd turret
#

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 it’s near a need zone?

fallow cairn
#

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 (doesn’t matter where) and then fast travel to a location where I’ll 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 don’t think where you choose to reset time has any effect on animals respawning if that answers your question

shrewd turret
#

Okay thank you! I’ve 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 I’ll try setting up a tent near a drinking spot.

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?

faint flint

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

# shrewd turret I’m a baby hunter still with like barely anything done, can I get a diamond alre...

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

shrewd turret
#

How do you know the animal is diamond before you shoot it?

fierce wave
#

oh god yes whatever you do don't ruin it like I did my diamond black tail

hidden basin
#

max level animal is usually but not always diamond (though some animals sometimes make it at one below max)

fierce wave
shrewd turret
#

I don’t think I can see levels yet. Unless I’m just not paying attention which is completely possible

hidden basin
#

level is things like "3 - VERY EASY"

shrewd turret
#

I can see like. The...type? Number? Like blacktails are 4

#

But it doesn’t say level

#

Afaik

hidden basin
#

level = difficulty rating

shrewd turret
#

Ok ok I’ll see if I can find it when I log on here in a min

hidden basin
#

pretty sure you can see that regardless of skills

shrewd turret
#

I must not be paying attention then šŸ˜‚

hidden basin
#

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

fierce wave
#

@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

hidden basin
#

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)

hidden basin
#

this blacktail has a pretty good chance at making diamond based on the fact that it is a level 5

fierce wave
#

yes and the score shown 171-199 with 177.5 being diamond bt

#

(it ended up 180.3)

marsh atlas
#

@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

shrewd turret
#

Ok got it

#

Thanks!

marsh atlas
#

blacktail are class 4

#

no problem i thought thats what u were trying to see the difference of

fierce wave
#

shown beside the little animal thing

shrewd turret
#

Yeah it was

fierce wave
#

is there a particular animal your wanting?

hidden basin
shrewd turret
#

Ok so

#

I don’t have that

#

The level

hidden basin
#

huh

shrewd turret
#

It doesn’t come up when I’m tracking, and when I’m aiming at an animal I don’t get any info about what it is

hidden basin
#

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

shrewd turret
#

I have those

#

It just doesn’t say level

hidden basin
#

tracks won't show you the level

#

spotting the animal will, though

shrewd turret
#

How do you spot?

#

If I’m looking at it through my scope I get nothing

hidden basin
#

spotting the animal requires you use the binoculars (you are able to use the scope to spot if you have the "scope spotting" skill)

shrewd turret
#

Omg ok that makes sense

marsh atlas
#

yep gotta use binos until u get the spotting skill

#

id get the rangefinder binos too btw, also new scope and guns

hidden basin
#

once you unlock them ofc

marsh atlas
#

^^

shrewd turret
#

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 he’s a pile of garbage

hidden basin
#

is it a he or a she?

shrewd turret
#

She I think

hidden basin
#

yeah, worthless

#

only for money

shrewd turret
#

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?

hidden basin
#

it only goes away as it builds up in other areas

shrewd turret
#

Ugh ok

hidden basin
#

(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)

shrewd turret
#

True I’m just trying to hunt black tail at night at cheelah lake and the whole area is purple rip

hidden basin
#

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)

Gonna try a diff spot

The spotting has revolutionized my game play

fierce wave
#

yes

faint flint

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

fierce wave

that deer would have been my first diamond big game animal I have a diamond mallard

which ones? there are different rabbit species

shrewd hare

HIrsch and Awaroa have the only rabbits. Colinas and Layton have hares.

hidden basin
#

pretty sure last time I checked, it was jackrabbit and not jackhare

shrewd hare
#

Hmm true. I always thought they were hares.

sour basin
#

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

shrewd hare
#

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.

analog grail
#

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?

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

hidden basin
# shrewd turret Is there a list where I can see what level each animal should be if I want it to...

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
shrewd turret
#

Ok cool that makes it easy lol

hidden basin
#

i can simplify the 9 - LEGENDARY one by saying "all predators, both buffalo, and red deer" since bears, felines, and canines are predators

shrewd turret
#

I don’t have the right ammo/gun for 9 anyway so I’m not even gonna think about those rn lol

hidden basin
#

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

shrewd turret
#

Oh right right

#

I’ll figure it out I swear lol

hidden basin
#

lol

#

btw, class 9 only encompasses five species

#

five particularly large and/or dangerous species

shrewd turret
#

I want the bigguns but I’m patient

#

I mean I’ll still blast them if I see them

hidden basin
#

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

shrewd turret
#

I was killed by 3 diff Cape buffalo yesterday I’m tired of them

oh my god the buffalo

#

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

how to get better rating of animals, every animals when i kill, its bronze or silver 😐

marsh atlas
#

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.

faint flint
#

how many zones should i expect to find along the river?

#

and i mean like the entire thing

#

both branches

marsh atlas
#

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

fallow cairn
#

Yeah I think I have 11 zones on the river. Probably one or two that I haven’t seen yet. I have about 25 overall

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)

craggy tulip
#

ok thanks

hidden basin
#

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

craggy tulip

yea, I see

so TL:DR:
find big males, and make a good shot with the right ammo

I need to focus on money and just shoot stuff instead of being like ā€œwell that’s a level 2ā€ smh

hidden basin
#

lol

shrewd turret
#

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?

shrewd hare
shrewd turret
#

That’s a bummer

shrewd hare
#

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.

shrewd turret
#

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 haven’t been to

shrewd hare
#

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.

shrewd turret
#

Yes it does, thanks

Hey anyone want to play with me, show me the ropes. New to game./

atomic dock
#

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?

haughty bone
#

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.

atomic dock
#

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.

tranquil tundra
#

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.
