okay because last time I asked this I never got a straight answer: in Medved, come the story part where you're told that you have to spot a reindeer before shooting, is there actually a chance of finding a non-mission-specific reindeer that you can't shoot/registers as invalid?
Can someone pls tell me why my tents do not work
what they doing?..or not doing?
Negativo. The only invalid targets are the nenets reindeer
Define “not work”
and they don't show up at all outside of that one mission?
No sir
👍🏼 Good to know. The dialogue was implying that they could
How can I get my Pronghorn and mountain goat to start spawning males
shoot them and and also look arond
@tranquil tundra
No
You can only shoot good ones and the ones you can not shoot are in that herd on the lake.
You will NEVER see them again in the game.
Question is the tracking skill for the Bloodhound supposed to cap at 15? Companion skill stop at 30
Tracking's supposed to cap at 15, yes.
ok thanky
Shoot ones in other places. If you shot males before they respawned somewhere, just not to the same place you shot them.
Can you unlock every perk or so I have to choose from when I get final lvl up?
You get like 20 of each or 24 I can't remember of each point
So you have to Choose Wisely unless you want to pay you the big bucks later
Does anyone remember this if they do he finally showed back up today and I managed to get him
I think it’s just to stay true to game lore.
Question about the last story mission of Medved: does that bear still have a scripted charge even if he doesn't know you're there, or did that get removed like one video implied?
Do I create less hunting pressure from tripods and treestands?
Is there a way to find an animal or do you just walk around till you hear noises?
At first you have to find them its Always a good idea to go to fields or lakes because they drink an eat there
And when finding them I should crawl or walk cause I think walk makes too much noises
Yeah you should crawl
Aight thanks
Np
Isn't there a mission in hirshfelden where they give you a diamond wild boar
If so, who gives you that mission
It's a story mission
Yeah I know that, but who is the person that gives you that mission
I forget who, but I think it's the second-to-last batch of missions
Right by the bunkers, iirc
how do I catch the Iberian wolf “shadow”, does he appear on any mission?
That wolf will appear once you complete the main story along with the Baden missions on Cuatro
but is there a specific mission or location that he appears in? how am I supposed to know it's time to find him?
Are missions endless? This summer guy wants me to eradicate all roe
Does someone know how i Fix this i cant play the game anymore
hey ive been having a problem every time i shoot an animal on Layton lakes when it dies it disappears and i cant find it does anyone know how i can fix this problem
If you keep doing badens missions once you’ve finished the main story you will get a mission where you will go to a specific point on the map to find Baden and the wolf will be there
Is the animal running out of rendering range? Because if so, a known bug is them not re-rendering.
i think that might be what is happening
Yeah 300+ meter shots are a bad idea rn.
unless you're absolutely sure the animal will go down fast
Any good spots for red deer on te awaroa?
they drink in the dark mostly. their feed zones are mostly up on the hillsides and in deep timber. i'd advise looking for them up high and trying to find a few feed zones. most of them eat from 2-4 pm. when I hunt them, i mostly try to catch them moving between water and feed zones from 6-am to noon. They respond to callers much better when they're on the move. The higher slopes to the north of the central river and to the east of the lakes in Pukemaro are good. They're also pretty much all over the place on the west and southwest part of the map
How can I get the right label back on my zones? I've got so many switched to moose and rabbit I can't find or remember all the wt ones
Which part is harder to shoot? brain or heart?
There both ez
Also does this game have bullet drop
You can't. They'll always show the last animal you discovered there. So if you found WT there first, they'll never show up as WT zones again after you find another animal there
But I'm still finding whitetail there
He meant u won't find the icon
👆
where can I find fallow deer's feeding places?
Feed zones?
yeah
Why do you want to find need zones
Aight I been doing that
Te awowra or hirshfelden
hirshfelden
Oh I don’t know much about them on hirsh but on Te awowra the whole right side of the map is full of them
Aight thanks
Np
Also how do I travel long distances like I am doing a mission and its 3km or 2 miles away
Am I supposed to just walk there?
Do you have an outpost near the mission location
No...
Aight Ill probably find an outpost there
Yeah
Lol ok ill figure it out on my own then. Hard to believe the zone just fucked cause of a wrong track
I'm not starting a journal to keep track. These zones are fucking retarded
How do I get rid of hunting pressure do I just hunt elsewhere for some time?
Yeah
also how long does it take to lure an animal
Like how long do I have to wait till they come
Because im preparing for the petershain cornfields mission
Its difrent from animal to animal and from the Level the animal is on
Yeah there is not a strict time
its random?
Yeah pretty much
Aw
Will hunting pressure appears if you hunt animals with a bow?
Yes, but not as much as with other weapons
It's about halved
and how do I get rid of hunting pressure?
Do I just rest for few days or hunt at different places?
kill animals anywhere else on the map and it will cause hunting pressure in another spot
The cornfields have at least one feed zone for the deer
Can i rename my dog?
does anyone have the mildot ranges for the 22lr rifle
using the argus and the 150m zero, the first holdover dot's about 225, second's about 270, third one's about 310, and the fat part of the bottom crosshair is dead on at 350
@toxic bane
thanks~
What is the distance that deer spook when you fast travel to a tent?
I find it to be around 220-250m
ok thanks
If all you are finding is female if I drop them will the spawn again as a female or might they be male ?
if im just starting out where is the best place to hunt to level up fast ?
I'd say Hirsch, since the starting rifle can take on anything that isn't a bison
I would be worried it try to kill a red deer with the 243
it's cleared for class 6, but you have to aim carefully.
and probably use polymer bullets
What mission will give special wolf in the Yukon? Story or side mission?
None of the above
I think you have it mixed up with Cuatro Colinas. That one has a couple special mission wolves
Anyone know of a good water buffalo spot that has a time window during the day where it's safe to approach by ATV?
two of the story missions have special wolves. one mission about halfway through the story mission chain (Fantasma, or "Ghost"), then the penultimate mission (Ogro, or "Monster").
the baden side mission chain will give the third and final cuatro wolf (Sombra, or "Shadow")
you may already know this but on that entire river starting in the lower right includes so many zones you'll be shooting water buffalo and won't even be halfway through the river when the time ends
it is absolutely loaded with water buffalo
okay, but is there a time of day where there's a spot that's safe to approach without having to worry about getting charged?
they ran from me earlier when I had the ATV but idk if that's the normal response or if I just got lucky
that spot is good i start at that lower right outpost, you don't need an atv but you'll get there
i've taken one and never got charged
from the outpost
👍🏼
I'm going to assume that cape buffalo are mostly the same in that regards then
pretty much
i've had worse luck with cape buffalo though
my usual hunt tactic is to find an open field to set up a tent + tripod in
it's a big waiting game but I like my safety 😂
That swamp on the right side that has The Outpost just full I always kill like five to six Buffalo there during watering times and if you wander around the nearby Woods they're resting all over the place
well that's fun
i hopped on cuatro a few days ago, but while i was hunting my game suddenly dropped to like 2 fps and i had to quit the game
just tried to launch the game now, turns out it uninstalled itself somehow
call of the bugs 👏
and now i apparently don't have enough disk space to reinstall it 🤔
That's on u then the game cant uninstall itself
i never clicked uninstall or anything so apparently it did
It physically can not delete itself😂
the only thing I can think of is the computer automatically uninstalling a large program in response to dwindling hard drive space
like if it was beginning to infringe on necessary functions
which animals have a chance to give a diamond being level 2-4-8? (do not need to be maximum level to be diamond)
afaik: ducks, geese, moose, water buffalo
to add to that, whitetail deer and sika deer both can as well
This is more of a suggestion but please change the button to get in and out of the layout blind be e/x and not space bar/a
How do I fix the black huntermate bug?
when the bloodhounds randomly pop up with attentive, what's that mean??
Dang that is old
quick question, when DLCs go into sale, do individual pieces go on sale or do the packs go on sale?
cuz apparently I can't even buy any of the packs cuz I already own the base game, which is... silly
Are blond black bairs considered rare?
Individual pieces on ps4 don't know about steam
no
Hello Guys i have a Question. I hope you can help me 😊 Yesterday i started playing the game and after playing 1 hour i shot a deer i think it was. I went to it and it had massive antlers. When i picked it up on the left hand side was something with Great-One and something else. I just picked it up and got the money. what does „Great-One“ Mean ?
@faint flint Ok thank you the next time i shoot a great one i will throw it away 😊☺️
I think you want to mess with me but if not..gread one is the best whitetail you can ged
I dont think you dont know what a gread one is while being one of the dudes who are hyping for the Update the most
i didnt believed you afterall
Any ideas how to fix black hunter mate screen
^
Leave the map and go back in
Are there any side quests on silver ridge peaks?
Have you done every masure quest
Yes
Then i think not but just hunt some more maybe later
I have a blackbuck question. I’ve harvested between 100-150 L4 blackbuck but only remember seeing one of those even being eligible in the estimate of being above the 132+ required for Diamond. Are Diamond Blackbuck only L5 or are they high L4?
bof
thankies
sadly no.....
And how it seems like they have the setup is you cannot buy bundles after you own the base game but they generally put the price of the DLCs individually at around the same price as it would be if you bought the bundle so it's not really saving or hurting much I think I actually managed to buy all the DLCs for cheaper than the bundle itself on pc at least I don't know what you're on that was during the winter sale on Steam
except the New Zealand map I did not buy it because it was full price
That's a bummer i really like that map just shot my first diamond there
Thanks
It's pretty much so far my favorite one and I really enjoyed the quests and congratulations on getting your first diamond
It also has a good mix of terrain
You have opened Prairie with legs wooded hills and mountains and then you have the mountain Terrain
I haven't really started hunting in the mountains I stayed more in the plains/hilly areas until now
I can recommend the map for new players because it's an map to make some easy cash and experience
what map is good for ducks?
I think it Depends on what dlcs you have
Because there's like 3 or 4 different species
witch kind?
Parque Fernando Yukon and Layton Lakes all have ducks
okay
Harlequin duck cinnamon teal and the mallard
layton it is
Hirschfelden has the geese if you want to hunt them
yes but they are kind of rare so you have to wait a while for them to show up sitting in a field with calls and decoys
i see
Just watch YT or Netflix while waiting lol
smart 😂
I would recommend try keeping it under 60 70 yards it's like nearly impossible after that
You should be able to hit any if they land on water
40 50 is best though
i got a diamond turkey today and that was like 4 yards in a tree stand
calling for hour and a half
Also if you have the 22 walk around different bodies of water and finding ducks that are swimming around is a good tactic
was worth
wow that's pretty good especially with a call I still want a rare or a diamond I keep coming across normal ones though
what should i name my doggo
If i want to hunt turkeys I usually just drive around the map and wait for them to get stuck on mountains or hills lol
Ruffy
Air bud
imma name him Dog
I named mine Smokey
Hunting with dogs is so chilled most of the time you don't have to search
I need a few friends to hunt with, I just got the game lol.
xbox ps4 or PC?
Leroy for male and jess for femele
pc
cant hunt turkeys in a tree stand with this dog smh
i like how they always look high as a kite
lol
why not?
they dont scare them or anything
they will push him arond when they walk
silver ridge is the only one with turkeys right?
i walk arond the fields lookin for them
Te awora also has them
that and te awora
yeee
They rarely attack you should be scared of the cape buffalo
Bison? If you're worried about them charging you and you just want to explore a bit, go ATV. They'll run away.
But so will everything else a long ways around.
Yeah cape and water buffalo are the dangerous ones
as far as I've experienced they'll also run from the ATV, but shots fired will aggro them
and they will not give up.
they dont do much unless you shoot one and piss it off
Those will run across the map to hit you if they want to
how often should i use the caller
water buffs are spwns of saten you fart 300yrds away they will try to kill you it seems
they seem to favor running from the ATV if you approach from a distance
likely because out of aggro range
but idk.
^
they have chased me they few ive used it
I think most people don't use callers
30sec to a min
how close were they when you started it?
ok
i dont know he just showed up when i slowed down
Was he aggro or just running across the street
i got up a watch tower and he ran around it the base of it till i killed him
He just wanted to enjoy the view but couldn't get up there
highly pissed off at me
huh
he could've been in aggro distance if you didn't see him right away
i was driving to a watch tower and never seeen him then right when i stopped he was behind me and was not leaving
he was a L8
Do wildebeest attack you?
The guy in the story said so but they've never charged at me
how do you even hunt danm bunnies?
Very carefully
You can also try to push them into an dead end with an ATV
hm
Best example would be on Savana on the left side of the mountain there's a bridge that they don't like crossing and get stuck on
just shot a diamond black tail and didnt screenshot it 😭
are buffalo part of the "spooked by fast travel" or are they exceptions?
best place for ducks on Hirschfelden?
no ducks on Hirsch, but there's geese
layton?
Layton, any pond or such.
where i find em hoes?
very hit-or-miss in them actually coming to you
and they can be lured to any straw/cornfield on the map with decoys + the caller
If I only ever play single player or on my map with my friend do I have a good enough chance of eventually finding a dimaond? Or do I need to start joining random games
All fresh maps have at least a few diamonds on them. You just have to find them
yep between 1-3 usually a rare mixed in there
What maps have geese on em?
Just Hirsch
That is hirsch.
where tho?
Southern half of the map
wtffff
im so dumbbb
oh im so fucking dumb
i was on silver ridge looking for geese im so mad
Fear not, I've had days like that
such as expecting to hear geese on Layton
anyways, a question about pumas
when you get "vocalization - chasing" does that mean you are in danger?
i heard ducks on silver
idfk
maybe they feel that there being chased or they are chasing prey an animal or in some cases you
I mean, the wind was blowing toward him
so I panic-travelled back to the outpost
so your his prey 😂
now i wait.
danm geese
what guns are .22?
will geese come when its raining?
okk
The 22lr rifle is weapon pack 1 yes, the pistol is weapon pack 3
I got it 🙂
im not a expert in guns, which gun do i want if im looking for a rifle that has 2-3 shots and enough power or compatibility with ammo to take down the biggest prey?
@tranquil tundra ^ youd know this
the .300 is the best thing for big game, but you need the Yukon DLC to get it
^^
im also only lvl 16
just grind that rifle score
can geese be albino?
lvl doesn't affect what you can buy, just weapon score
no, but the rare goose color is melanistic
brown hybrid, grey, light grey leucistic, bald leucistic, and melanistic
so far i only got a albino turkey lol
I kid you not, I got three common diamond geese before I found a variant that wasn't brown hybrid
one of the echos of goose call and i think there geese 🤣
you don't need to call until you see them
i did see a vid where someone set up a tent 150+ meters away from things like watering spot and skip time to spawn em but i can't seem to get that to work did they change something?
Maybe move the tent a bit farther away
Can you skip time in a tent?
The tent is basically an outpost you can place almost anywhere with flat enough ground and not too many trees
So yea
Hm
I know you spook animals by fast travelling to a tent
What happens if you put a tent on/next to a need zone that isn't currently active, then change time to make it active
If the tent is far enough away, you’ll see animals (if the tent is too close to the zone the animals aren’t gonna be there)
So you could neuter a need zone by dropping a tent on top of it?
Essentially yeah. But they will be there if you don’t fast travel using the tent
I recommend placing the tent at least 200m from a zone
Gotcha~
I also recommend using one tent to cover several nearby zones whenever possible as that allows you to use tents more efficiently
I.e. if you have three zones within about 400-500m of each other, place a tent roughly equidistant from the three zones
Or place one tent to cover a few smaller lakes
(Coming from someone who has hit the tent limit on their Medved map btw 😅 )
The cost of sleeping in a tent is reduced a bit from an outpost too
also if you set the time to, say, an hour before the zone becomes active, you can just set up a blind and wait
and the animals will come right up to you, basically
so long as they don't smell you or anything
do bodys despawn if i can't find em?
if they leave the render range (rn; won't be permanent as that's a bug) or if you change the time
so i probably softlocked myself out of the tundra missions
anyway i can reset the mission where i need to hunt down the animal that the other idiot shot?
restarting the game will respawn the animal
What is the easiest way to find White Tail drink zones?
pick a lake or riverside, get out there before noon, set up a blind, and wait.
thing is tundra mission i played ages ago when i first played the game and i shot the wounded animal and it ran away and i could not find it, but game says there is a body but it only shows me the area where it initially was the tracks are long gone
how do you get the .50 really good gun that is gun powder i think?
actually just what gun is the best
@tranquil tundra dont know if your on still but ^
There isn’t one
Yeah there's really no "best" gun, because everyone would give different answers based on what they favor
well, what weapon do you reccomend?
The Eckers is a good pick for anything 4-8, though 8's a bit questionable since you have to aim carefully
can't go wrong with the .243 for classes 2 and 3
and the .300 can drop a bison in several seconds, so long as you hit a vital.
and the .22 is good for sniping ducks.
Geese on the other hand, the Miller. I've wiped entire flocks with those two in tandem.
the lakes. There's always a few around lakes come drink time in the early evening.
i need to find an ms paint drawing to keep notes
pardon me
could always ask the resident lynx expert
.22 for 1s 243 for classes 2-3. 7mm or one of the 30-06s m1/the eckers for 4-7 and and 300 for 7-9 imo
that's if you got the DLCs
*class, not level
ah i see
@hidden basin thanks
and the mosin if you have it for classes 3-5 maybe 6
it does alright on red deer
ok
what blinds should i use for ducks @tranquil tundra
only reason i ping u u seem to be very good at the game 😂
btw are backpacks worth it or are the increased visibility rough?
If you’re moving tents and whatnot around, then yes. But otherwise no
I generally use tripods for ducks because areas they frequent are also frequented by animals that could potentially take offense to you existing
Layton? Moose and black bears. Possibly also coyotes, unsure on that one.
Parque? Pumas and water buffalo. Mostly the water buffalo.
Yukon? Wolves.
and on Hirsch with geese, the only place safe to use the waterfowl blinds is really Rathnfeldt, because everywhere else has either boars, bison, or both
do i need to call em ducks in
Ducks will land by themselves, unlike geese
decoys and the caller do help though
no to get them to my area i mean
i have decoys
i dont own the caller i need 1000$
the decoys alone will provide a lure.
whats a good time of day
Doesn't really matter.
oh so a waiting game?
like I said, ducks have need zones, unlike geese
so just setting up at a pond with a zone is one tactic, because one pond can be used for both feeding and resting by multiple groups.
but yeah, another waiting game.
i know a few good duck spots
what level would diamond be?
3 is likely guaranteed, but my first diamond duck was a 2
^
and I've gotten diamond geese at lvl4 before
ik geese 5 i didnt know abt ducks
all ducks are 3
are need zones randomized?
for the most part
it's a little harder shotgunning ducks
lyra seems to have you covered im gonna go hunt lynx
@fathom sentinel you can come with if you want tho
and I'm actually going to be getting off soon, it's almost 1AM for me 😂
what do you play om?
pc
rip
So i killed a whole pack of wolfs, but the sleeping spot i found em in is now gone, do they not respawn if you kill em all or whats up with that?
Will need zones return once the hunting pressure wore of completely?
are the new dogs worth it? im worried he scares of prey
they don't scare them your all good there and it will warn you and try to kinda pertect you when something is trying to kill you
they may respawn there or somewhere else as the same or some other animal but once the hunting pressure is gone a need zone will come back at some point
once you kill them all the zone is gone and you'll have to find a new one if you don't want that to happen leave 1 or 2 and wait till the respawn and the zone will stay
Rip
when DLC go on sale on Steam, what's the usual percentage it goes down for?
trying to plan sth
I played a multiplayer game at Te Awaroa then I bought the DLC this morning. It seems to have bugged the first mission out. It started me in the outpost and told me to travel to it and go inside. Is there another outpost I am supposed to enter?
it's a specific outpost that should be marked on your map
but if you're already at that outpost, you'd best bug-report it
Check your map to see if it’s a different outpost than the one you are in
or back up and see if the mission marker is on The Outpost you're in
How do lions behave with the ATV?
Guys, I just killed a female mule deer, however, I didn’t earn money from death. Why?
I killed him with a 243.
I even won achievements for killing
ATV's are spooking any animal
buffalos get aggro'd on occasion, as do wolves
That does not look like COTW. What game is that?
what is that the game?
ohh ok
It spawned me on the opposite side of the map.
show me a picture
I had a lvl 5 fallow, shot it, saw it go down. I went to claim a pig I shot nearby and when I went to claim the fallow, it disappeared.
That's the only lvl 5 fallow I've ever seen playing
...how close was "nearby"?
how close is "nearby"?
300 to maybe the edge of being out of render distance around 400-430
probably de rendered
because if at any point you went more than 400m from that dead fallow, there's a good chance you experienced the de-render bug
basically, if an animal corpse goes out of render distance, it becomes invisible even when you go back within render distance. this is a new bug that was introduced with the slo-mo dogs and broken codex "hotfix"
Is melenistic only a bird thing?
nope
far from it. a lot of species have melanistic as a rare fur type
Ok. Thank you.
it's often the rarest of the rare fur types among the animals that have it
there are exceptions ofc
What gun and how do I get it?
.50 caplock muzzleloader, included in the smoking barrels weapon pack
single shot, long reload, but that one shot is deceptively powerful
has two ammo types: .50 round ball (class 3-7) and .50 minie ball (class 4-8)
beware tho: it has a shorter effective range than most other rifles
round balls drop like a rock beyond about 125m. minie balls do the same beyond about 200m
but within that range, that one shot can be devastating
i wanna get this game on steam , but im up against this , what am i supposed to do ?
Anyone else have problems when you switch lodges your game crashes
im trying to use a bow more and im tore between the best sights
i use 1 pin irl but theres only 3 and 5 and im not sure what ranges the pins are
thx
Contact your government and petition that the game be re-added to the Steam store. There is NOTHING anyone here can do about your government blocking the game in your Country.
Also, no more talk of piracy, that's a no no.
any tips on hunting turkeys in COTW
And I massacre class 9 with it as well 🙂
I had better luck along the big river that divides Te Awaroa north and south around the eastern side of it. Had more turkeys then I could shoot (didn't want to destroy the many need zones I found along the route). Approach from eastern side and move along the south shore towards the west through this massive tall dark forest area and you should find the wind and the turkeys to be good for you. Use the mouth caller if you wish, but I found so many that I never needed a caller. Certainly easier and funner to hunt them in Te Awaroa than SRP...
Since yesterday i smh fuck up my lethal shots a lot so i wanted to practice a little and went for neck shots.. Something tells me i need a diffrent gun
looking for something for 6 and below
what ammo do you need for a class 9 like plains byson ect?
.300, .338, 7mm, 45-70, .454 and red arrows
you need shoot in the lungs
i try that too but for some damn reason shoothing behind the frontlegs but when i reach the place they ran from it says no vitals hit so i thought hell lets try the damn neck
and looking how i landed the shot and how there is no god damn crit i think the gun is to blame not my aim
Then use the m1 instead of the mosin
The mosin is inaccurate on PC, try the M1 if you have it, if not, use the .270 or the 7mm
@fair bison
Go to the shotting range
Do all the ibex have the same need zone times?
And does anyone have some nice hotspots on cuatro Collinas?
Pretty sure they are somewhat random no?
Yeah somewhat but I think they're usually in like the same area
Personally i go straight north from the first house, over the hill and infront of the lake and around it i find a lot of hotspots
Ok thank you
In the morning hours at least
Yes, just in different areas of the map
what part of the body should i shoot a gray wolf in
what gun?
Pretty much every animal except for class 1’s you should be aiming for the chest
only go for the chest if you have polymers
Class 1’s it doesn’t really matter where you hit as long as you hit them (they automatically pass the vital organ check)
if you have softpoints, go broadside
Broadside shot, aim for front half of the body
Frontal shot, aim for a single lung or heart
Rear shot, don’t even bother
neck and heart are insta kill, aim low on shoulder and you should get heart. anything somewhat close to behind the shoulder will be a lung kill, it won't insta kill but you will earn the correct medal
you can shoot brain but will ruin the medal
Brain counts as a vital but you’d have to go through the skull, and hitting skull will fail the “intact trophy organ” check
(Unless said animal doesn’t have a trophy organ, like most females of deer species, then you can do whatever you want to it)
what does zeroing do like what is short range zero and what's the difference between 75 and 150m?
You know that bullet drop is a thing, right?
yes
with rear shots you can try for a neck hit, but those are tricky
Basically, what Zeroing does is set the sights to give the bullet an arcing trajectory so that it will hit on the crosshairs at a given distance. For instance, if the rifle is zeroed for 150m, the bullet will hit on the crosshairs at 150m. At 75m, it will hit high, and at 300m, it will hit low
ohhh right that makes loads of sense thank you
if you don't put a sight on your bow it'll be a 1 pin by default
I was driving my ATV and ran into a turkey, I actually crashed into it. I jumped off and shot it with my pistol as it flew away.
Which gun is the M1 or which pack is that?
It’s a Semi-automatic rifle chambered in .30-06, rated for class 4-8.
It comes with the Smoking Barrels Weapon Pack DLC ($3.99 USD, convert as needed)
It's comparable to the Eckers, which is in pack...3, iirc.
same ammo type, though while the Eckers has less recoil, the M1 fires faster
im looking for a rifle to shoot 7 and below does it work for that?
currently using .300 for the bigger stuff and don't really can carry more then 1 additional rifle
so does it have ammo for those sizes?
M1 works on class 4-8. It’s in its best element on class 4-6
Btw most players will carry 3, 4, even 5 weapons
if you have the Yukon DLC, get the .300
that thing destroys bears
.300 is an excellent bear rifle
how do u even get these many guns without having weight limit and a tripod?
.338 is quite good on bears as well, tho being single-shot is quite limiting
pistols are lightweight
Ez, don’t carry the tripod 24/7
Also there’s a skill in the ambusher skill tree that gives 3 extra inventory space
I tend to always have a tent on me in case I find a good spot to set up
i love the .300 it works very well but the mosin im using is very annoying even if i take my time and wait for perfect shot and use correct range it fucking misses
AFAIK mosin has mis-aligned sights
it works great on the rabbits. gets them every time!
oh that's the one with the messed up sights? I thought it was one of the dlc handguns
Btw the sort of “meta” loadout is:
.22LR (for class 1)
.243 (for class 2-3)
M1 OR .303 (for class 4-6)
.300 canning magnum (for class 7+)
You could say they traded sights
@fair bison
Total weight of that loadout is 13.5 weight, +1 for scope and ammo, +1 for binoculars
Now you can go lighter by swapping the M1/.303 and .300 for the 7mm which covers class 4-9
but then you lose the follow up shots
True
uhm im kinda new and only lvl 20 my money and amount of perks kinda limit me
Fair enough
so i would personally say m1 is better than 7mm, but even though the 7mm has one bullet it has greater fire power
at least if feels like that
7mm is more of a jack of all trades weapon
yeah pretty much
The true jack of all trades tho is the drilling rifle
Doesn’t do any one thing particularly well, but you can use it for literally any animal in the game provided you use the right ammo types
If you wanna go light weight, .22, .243, 7mm will cover all classes and only weigh 10.5, +2 for ammo, scope, and binoculars
Or +3 if you are using binos and rangefinder together
i did basically spend all my money to get the 300. so i kinda want to make use of it haha
i would hunt the bears then
they can earn you tons fast
and with the 300 you can do it more efficiently
.300 is an excellent large game rifle
it's around 1500 or so for a decent male
yeaah.. i kinda got issue with my maps beeing bit overhunted on bear spots which is why i wanted to switch for a while
Even females can earn you up to 1200 or 1300 per animal if you get a good shot in
I’ve gotten over 1600 on some occasions for very high scoring predators
yukon is a great money maker for the 300
hunt the east river 3-7 kill around 10-20 bears a run and then go hunt moose or bison right after
You got bears, moosen, and bison, all reasonably common animals
i only know the bear spot near the first house any others u can recommend?
on yukon?
yes
The swamp on the bottom half or so of the map apparently is a good grizzly spot
so the entire east river is insane for grizzlies
That too
just hunt drink time and you will kill so many
Rack up grizzlies like none other
on my first run i knew nothing about the grizzlies and killed a diamond and albino easily
and on top of that got a lot of money
Might even find a diamond or rare in the areas you haven’t bothered to check
Predators will regularly net you 1100 cash or more per animal (subtracting the cost of ammo) if you make a good shot and have full bonuses
yeah the only problem is the smaller ones can be so hard to hunt and super skittish
Also worth noting:
You buy a stack of 10 .300 poly tips, one bear will ROI the entire stack of 10
You’re telling ME
which are the swamps lol south east? not been there yet
god looking at the yukon rivers makes me want to get on SO bad
omg i love the m1
Takes down class 4’s like they’re made of cardboard and tin foil
Single lung with poly tips will give them barely enough time to cross the street before dying. Double vital causes them to faceplant right there
even the softpoints make them drop like rocks
M1 is in its best element on class 4-6
lol sorry i just got the dog how do i give him the treat?
You need to buy the doggy biscuits in the store (4000 cash for a batch of 25), then equip them, then press B (or down on the D-pad) when near the dog and select the “give treat” option
ohno
oohno
i need some urgent help
this is me rn
i need to shoot into heart
where do i aaaaaim
Do you have the caller for red deer on you?
yeeeeaaah
use it to try to get him to turn
okaaay
hey guys just asking where to find hotspots for bighorn please!
oh god it started moving really fast I kinda rushed the shot at a quarter angle but i got it
Nice red deer
Check out All of the Above’s discord for similar maps on all species
neat one
Niiice. It took me a whole week to get that mission done the first time.
@hidden basin thx
Just make that first shot count
Are callers worth using ? Or do they just take up space
i'm mainly talking about shots on other animals, then again it's great to make the first shot count but personally i have off days
always worth it depending on your style of hunting
They're worth it when an animal is being stubborn about coming into the open
also useful for gauging what score an animal might be. Diamonds, for example, are stubborn with callers.
Know it's not the most powerful but loving the 6.5 allows my shots to be on point like heart on moose etc
@faint flint I do sometimes use hides but most often spot and stalk
that's pretty damn cool
i would say its best to use in situations where you may not have enough cover near the animal or like to get really close
great for bow hunting
ahhh I understand I always have issues trying to shoot the other animal after I shoot the first one so I try to get the biggest unless I'm trying to get bigger ones to spawn back and then I shoot smaller ones
What's better 6.5 or 270 not a massive 30-06 guy
Yes if you're sitting and waiting or just wandering around and spotting the Moose and red deer calls are excellent
yeah m1 is my choice for respawns on smaller animals.
i have had better luck with the 6.5. extremely accurate and decent penetration
@faint flint I do really like it but seen loads of videos and stuff being like the quick kill isn't high enough etc
quick kill?
i mean that's not a required medal anymore but it's killed reasonably fast for me
also you can shoot from way longer ranges than many other guns
@faint flint same I've taken red deer elk moose Even some bears
some missions require 100% QK
Heart shot
oh
6.5mm since it is a full weight unit lighter
Any tips on hunting duckies :c they always fly away before i get to pew pew em
instead of going to them, try bringing them to you.
set up a blind next to a duck zone and use a duck caller to bring them in
just me or is Fernando zone kinda awful? i only found animals at 1 lake everywhere else its super sparse and i can't hunt the 1 spot because of pressure and i don't want to ruin the are with animals
knowing when to hunt is just as important as where to hunt
Got no duckie zone nor callers i think
i tried morning at bodys of water and walked around afternoon for sleeping spots but it's hardly worth mentioning
Try using the huntermate app on phone it shows per map at certain times what zones you can look for per animal
go to places that you've seen quackers before and set up a blind and use the caller to lure them in. caller is available in the in-game store btw
i spent like 5 irl hours on this and i had a lot of times where i walked for 10-20 minutes without finding a single animal
there's also a spreadsheet pinned to this channel (by A-a-ron) that has the zone times for animals
:o should i play decoys too for the quackies
Place*
the fake ducks will increase the chance of actual ducks coming in
so yes, place them down
Gonna go back to my 270 for a while I do love that calibre as well
If you use scent blocker plus a attracting scent what happens?
My guess: whichever came later would take priority
Do you think the other would still work like if you use scent blocker would it still work after you used the entrapment so say if you had deer close and you're attracting it expired could you use the scent blocker as a backup so they won't smell you
i'm pretty sure both effects would take place
so animals won't be able to smell you unless it's that certain scent
Both take effect.
Anyone else crashing when trying to access phone?
Okay, now its more then just the phone. Upon switching items three times I crash.
try validating game files through steam
how do i know if theres a diamond on my map
You don't.
Just keep taking out animals. One will eventually respawn as a diamond.
okkkk
That fixed it, but now my phone is black. I don't think this is a bug but more like I am just dumb.
Wait a minute... did they reset map data?
Not that I know of
Is map data saved locally?
yes, why?
Alright, I am hoping someone can help me cause I really don't want to have to re-explore the entire map again, but after I verified my game files, I lost all my map data but not my character data. I still have all my money, guns, ect. I have the game backed up to steam cloud, but I have no idea which file I would have to download to get my map back or if the map data is even backed up to the could. Any advice?
I also lost all my mission data.
You might want to email support on that one
I don't know for sure but it sounds like corrupted data
at least yours might be savable. I had to manually nuke my file yesterday since I wasn't even making it to the menu before the game froze, and lost all my tax's.
how do you get rid of hunting pressure just not hunt there for a while ?
if i remember correct you have to hunt somewhere else and make hunting pressure there
Yup. New hunting pressure will start erasing the oldest.
so I've just turned level 11 should I buy thr venture 5x30 rangefinder or is it better to stick to the vantage 8x42?
Get the rangefinder. Will make range estimation so much easier
is it the one that has the orange Cross hair and tells the distance ?
Yes
Which LR is better for duckies... the rifel or anderson
rifle unless you're trained with iron sights. rifle with Hyperion scope can't be beat in my opinion when using a .22 for small game
@stuck mango
Thank you❤️ 🥺
Now time.to wait for another sale
That makes two of us~
I say it'll be when the new dlc comes out
why cant my friend enter the build structures that i have bought
I thought that New Zealand moose was a rare the one I killed was a common
Structures in map are local for each player. So everyone has to buy it themselves.
sucks
yeah a little
it's supposed to be a unique fur pattern. If it gave you a common, definitely bug report.
has anyone got a link to where I can see the trophy ratings for all the animals?
If someone could share the fur type rarity spreadsheet again that would be awesome too thanks
Got a mela mallard yesterday getting no love in the gallery lol online says 0.30% not sure if accurate
0.30 seems about right
Thanks 👍
very welcome
Apparently the males are. 31 so technically female more rare? Lol I dunno
That chart is awesome
sorry there's 2 of the same
tbh the best way to learn trophy size is to grind one animal out at a time and it just comes to you
You are amazing@fierce wave
aww thanky
If you kill females cus you find a large group of only female will they all respawn as female ?
mostly yes just more throughout the map and not in one big group people has said that they've had males respawn and not females
tho so
Okay so worth taking cows etc sometimes
@fierce wave you're the 🐐
yeah it help move them around and maybe get a rare out of it
thanky
Keep coming back to my 270 literally cus its the Highland round haha
Is there any way to get the 270 warden or was it only limited
Hey guys I’m looking for a group of experienced hunters , must have experience in the game . Dm me
Limited run, no longer obtainable
Does the headlight scare animals away?
No
why would u think that/
am i aloud to self promo bc im streaming lol.
F) I will not spam or advertise my own or any other person's content*¹, communities, services and/or post links to any of the aforementioned;
maybe try reading the rules
ok thx bc i read em rules awhile ago.
when hunting ducks do i use the caller to lure them, or use it once they get here?
Use the caller to bring them in to your location then blast away
It may also help to have a blind (tripods work pretty well too btw) and some decoys
I had the best results during their zone times, which is mid afternoon (try at around 15:00 to 17:00)
yeah ducks are different from geese in that they actually have need zones
16:30 rn
You may wanna consider relocating to an area you’ve seen ducks in before
do you have free dlc with ducks?
If you mean to hunt them, you can find mallards in layton i think
Cinnamon teals and harlequin are from dlc maps
Ok I have a mission on herch to create hunting pressure in a Group of two fields n I have done in both n mission is still there am I missing something
Or do I need maximum pressure
You'd ideally need to stack pressure onto a single "point" as much as you can
Best done with a herd of animals in a need zone, and a weapon with at least 3 shots
In my experience 3 animals killed with anything but bows on the same general area seems to do the trick
You can go for 4 animals instead, just to make sure, but that'll delete the need zones so beware
I know that just the story mission im confused by but thank you 😃
You'll have a couple missions to create hunting pressure, so best to keep this in mind~
Hey everyone ! I’m a experienced hunter looking to play with people . I do coaching as well as just playing for fun . If u want to play with me or get coaching pls dm me I’m on every day ! Please be on PC!
Hello everyone! I have a question if somebody can help me about this!
the "button" where you press for resetting skills is grey and i cant reset...
any clue about this?
You don't have enough cash.
You have 15655, you need 52500
ok my bad
lost my mind
sure
i see
tnx
my bad
i looked at my xp and did think its my money 🐵
are there any plans to make COTW compatible with VR???
so before I even think about doing Vurhonga, I know the buffalo will chase the ATV on occasion, but what about the lions?
@plucky ermine you’re in the #🦌︴help-and-tips channel btw
Ok, I have a question, how many kills do you think it should take to get a melanistic male fallow deer
I’ve killed somewhere in the 1.1K - 1.3k fallow bucks
Honestly... its all just luck
As far as i know its a 0.02% chance for melanistic male fallow deer
im having an issue
whenever i start my hirchfielden map
all the geese decoys dissapear
like their little icon doesnt appear
only 1 of them
Are the decoys disappearing or just the icon
the icon
Because there is always just one icon just of the one you pleaced there first
wait so it still works ?
like ive always been picking them up and placing them back until all of them had the icon
Im having an issue with the game. I can launch the game and get to the loading screen but I cant get passed the loading screen. how do i fix this?
If you're not even making it to the menu, it's a corrupted save.
you have to go into the game files and replace it with a backup, or if you don't have a backup, delete it manually. Same thing happened to me 2 days ago.
okay, ill give that a try
ok so what should I buy the bloodhound dlc or wild goose chase or wepon pack 1?
don't buy the dog dlc. it's still very new and has some glitches, plus if you're decent at the game you really don't need the dog. the goose pack is really helpful because of the shotgun it includes and i believe it allows access to decoys and the caller? either way geese are fantastic money makers and fun to hunt. weapon pack 1 isn't necessarily helpful because the bows are just fun to use but if you're buying that you get the 22 rifle which allows you to take way WAY further shots on class 1 animals. if i were you i would definitely go with the goose dlc @lavish saddle
Geese are a little borked rn though. You can wait up to one IRL hour and have none show up
though on the flip side, sometimes you get a barrage of them.
they are broken, however i believe they're fixing spawns with the next update
but in the goose chase you do get more bang for your buck
So should I just keep killing fallow deer until one spawns?
Just keep grinding, i found my mela female randomly the other day
Its all down to chance, but if you kill a fallow a new one will be back in its place
Only reason I’m grinding is because I want to do a rare fur type trio in the multimount,
Ok
goose or weapon pack 1 but if you want the full goose hunting experience and to get all the money you need mroe consistently youre gonan need wp 1 aswell
They consolidate into a single icon because their attraction effect stacks (it will stack up to 20 decoys, beyond that, adding more doesn’t make a difference)
I can't never seem to find bighorn anyone got some spots to share
did they fix geese?
ive seen 3 flocks in the past 5 mins!
4!
whats going on!!
no decoys no caller 😮
also is there ducks on hirsch?
yes decoys and callers i recommend it @lavish saddle
no it's just how they are
wait what?
yeah
they ain't landing tho right?
no
in the triangle formation?
interesting
I don't even know you could kill them
Bighorns are concentrated to the west and north sides of the map. The circled lakes are where I've gotten diamonds. The lake with the 'x' through it is the only one on that side of the map where I've never spotted one
I know you can't spot them
couldnt spot but killed em
that little lake above Long Island Lake there always has a big group of females
You cannonly spot em as they come.down into the field
I dunno about male bighorns there tgo
yeah. I thought you couldn't kill the ones flying over since you could not spot them can I think I attempted to shoot them but failed 1 time
find out new stuff every day
@fathom sentinel geese were never broken for some of us 🤷♂️
Try setting up in cornfields western petershain
Pain to find them but worth it
Ritterstein Strawfields has been my #1 goose spot
Hmm don't think I've ever tried there. Got a pretty low activity setup might move over
the cornfields have been paying off in my case
once you see one flock you just can't stop shooting
Exactly. I know now not to leave the stand until at least 3 flocks and collect quickly
Can get bogged down in geese pretty quickly there lol
The Miller shotgun is fun to use for geese
I've cleaned out entire flocks with it
got some mule deer albino run around but i can't find the damn bugger any tipps?
if you are stalker find the trail and use the dog to tracck it down.
🤷🏻♀️
I'm trying to do the 3 golden hares at night on quatro, and it's ROUGH
i always see it like 300+ meters behind a treeline and it back and forth runs over its own damn tracks making it near impossible to track
btw whats the deal with the dogs 6th sense ability is he supposed to warn me when animals are about to get spooked?
how do i go prone
I just found a banger warthog and I wanna get a bow shot
but idk how to go prone
nvm its z
also real glad i got the dog i find a lot of invisible bodys
wdym invisible bodies?
dog tracks blood and suddenly stops and barks and when i hover around i find "e" promopt i can collect body while there is none i don't get a hit window either i just get money and points
that's a great glitch
are you on pc or console
pc
Im playing right now lol
sure never done that before
again
Cuatro
I’ve never understood where the “q” comes from and it really annoys me
I AM
ACTUALLY
CRYING RIGHT NOW
THE DIAMOND IS 22.8
I GOT 22.2
WHAT DID I DO WRONG
It was a lvl8, it needs to be lvl 9 i think for it to be diamond..
i am steaming
Can someone teach me and my friend how to efficently hunt animal. We play on PC in EU. Pls contact me if you can help!!
For all predators it has to be level 9
how find more animal
Stalk active need zones, don't run everywhere, don't stalk downwind, use callers, etc
Hunter call of the wild is too easy
They should add rarity higher than a diamond for each animal species
It’s a game of patience. Everything runs faster than you and can hear you coming.
Great ones are a thing for whitetail already, so yes
where on the map are european bison?
Where did his antlers go? 😭
It's a bugg my friend had the same thing with his first diamond also caribou
Has anyone else a problem with this spot? There's nothing there, no post, no stones, no nothing. Even further, the outpost at which I am rn was not on the map, or rather it didnt show as a viable outpost. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
