That's a mission-specific thing afaik
Oh okay
It must be from one of the many side missions
So far Ive completed the main story but only a single side mission
Kinda weird to put it on the map then, but thank you for the help :)
Guys is it just me or are y’all switching to ultimate hunting when it comes out?
hey guys. i notice when i visit a need zone im only seeing 1 animal 9 times out of 10
do they travel in packs or turn up individually?
It really depends , sometimes it’s a herd and sometimes it’s a lone animal
It’s different every time
okay thank you. ive been playing hunter a while now but never understood need zones. trying to find diamonds
Here’s the thing , u have to keep killing animals from each zone until the game respawns new ones . If you get lucky u will either get a random respawn diamond or u might find one randomly
oh okay ty
gotcha. cheers for the help 🙂
should i get weapon pack 2 dlc for m1 or dog dlc
also is m1 good?
better than 338?
M1 is good for classes 4-8
m1 is good for class 4-6 stuff. .338 is better for class 7-9
if you want a good class-9 weapon, get the Yukon DLC if you haven't already.
the .300 can drop a bison in several seconds
and it destroys bears
what about deer and herbivores
lvl-5 for most.
Whitetail and ducks, lvl-3
though herbivores and birds can make diamond at a level below the max on occasion
Red deer, water and cape buffalo go up to 9, and water buffalo are the only max-9 animal that can make diamond at 8.
thanks 🙏
M1 is weapon pack 4 (smoking) BTW, not 2
any new ideas of how to easy grind ducks on layton with decoys and where? i can barley get a few and i have tons of set ups of 20 decoys each
90% of my kills are disappearing and going invisible. is this a problem with the dog? what is going on 😩
if an animal goes out of rendering range before dropping, it won't re-render.
do not take 300+ meter shots rn.
it's insta dropping, then I leave render range to get to it, because it's adccros a river. that's it?
Yep
F
It's better to just make a note of where drink zones are so you can go to it on the right side of the river later
at least until the next patch
and then it's blood doesn't disappear?
the tracks stay. It's just the animal itself that vanishes.
it's occasionally possible to claim them, but it's not worth tax'ing them because if they have antlers it'll be an invisible rack
I have only had the invisible rack problem with one animal that I claimed after it derendered.
puppers helped me find about 8 animals. not sure how many I shot. 😅
got a diamond goat afterwards though (either side of the river in te awora./
realized I could walk through the water and it didn't despawn.
I'm in my White-Tail grind and the way I respawn them is by changing the time back 1 hour each time then restarting. The problem is that very rarely will the deer respawn and if they do it will always come back as a small buck then, it leads to all my zones being filled with does. Anyone know a better way to respawn them or why they don't come back?
Make sure u clear all the pressure from ur whitetail zones before restarting and never leave one doe alone in the zone it will become doe only I clear pressure by killing blacktail
with doe-only groups, wipe them all.
Takes 3-7 days sometimes for respawns to come back. They don't always come back to the zone they were killed at either. If there's consistent pressure in an area, respawns are less likely to come back there and the herd could pick up and move to another zone. Make sure you completely clear the pressure in an area, and rest it for at least a few days before you come back to re-hunt it.
I’ve been torn between the 303 and the 7mm and can’t decide which one, I usually hunt whitetail to elk and mountain goat
Irl days or in-game?
303
Ingame
Does expansion make a huge difference if say one caliber had 11 and the other 12, and both having same penetration?
slight difference. the animal will bleed out a little quicker. not a huge difference though
Thank you all
Do any bison normally go by the entrance of the Rinderland gorge?
So would I just afk or hunt another species? Maybe set the time back in like a tent 3-7 days?
I have been trying to take a snapshot of a rabbit but it wont register, what am i doing wrong?
What does render range mean? Still fairly new to the game
It's best to find as many zones as you can so you can rotate, but yeah definitely clear your pressure off and rest a few days before you go back to a zone.
Hunting ducks and bunnies is the quickest/easiest way to clear pressure usually
@tranquil tundra what exactly is the render range? Everytime i search it up it only talks about on computer not console
I think it varies on graphical settings, but for me it's about 400 meters
@tranquil tundra. Is there one for console i have xboxone and for graphics it only shows motion blur
I don't have console so I wouldn't know
So that means the rendering range is the distance before an animal is no longer seen?
Ok no problem
Thanks@tranquil tundra
Anyone have a nice clean copy of the Layton map in jpg or something i can use to mark out WT drink zones?
I'm wanting to grind for a diamond moose on Yukon but I'm having trouble finding any. Can someone help a brother out?
You could probably test what your render distance is pretty easily
Isn't the default 400m
Just grab binos and find an animal in an open area, spot it and keep looking at it until it disappears, then look at where the spotted pin is on your map
Apparently it depends on graphics? Probably 400m across the board on PC but consoles might be different
I'm on PC
It's probably around 400m then yes
Altho, hm
Wouldn't it need to be a bit further away?
Steam has an achievement for shooting a vital organ at or beyond 400m
Render-in distance is 375 meters
De-render distance is 417 meters
Ohhhh I c
It's actually just landing a shot at 400+ meters
which, honestly, is a very small window before de-render
So probably not doable rn with the bug~
Yeah, so if you wanna avoid the render glitch, use a weapon that will insta-drop the animal then rush to where they died
Or probably doable if you only have to land the shot and not harvest, but good luck finding the animal
Like .303 or 7mm vs a pronghorn
Or that~
scarlet are u on? wanna play
No
Is the 300 worth it? I have the 7mm and don’t have an issue killing big stuff. Is it going to make that much more of a difference?
Yes it is
How
It’s much more powerful and with the power it gives u 5 rounds so u can immediately shoot the animal if u missed the vital spot .
It gives u more time to react
Okay more rounds is good for sure
Yes
Is that one just as good as the other? The nitro? Game is loading rn I don’t remember what it’s called. The $95k one
I’m not sure I don’t really use it
.300 can be used for classes 7-9, Nitro is 9 only.
Yes
Right right Gotcha
Not gonna blow that much for a class 9 only weapon
Polymer tip or soft point? I prefer distance shooting
Either works, though softpoints are iffy at longer ranges.
Kk I’ve been using only polymer tip now so might as well stick with that
I guess I’ll get the 300 now since I’ve saved up. I’m such a cheapskate tho 😭
Anyone else is having shit luck with diamonds today? Or is it just me
If you prefer distance shooting maybe look at the .338 just a bit more penetration than .300 but is a single crack action like the 7mm. Very accurate
And one day when they fix the game it'll be even more effective
I already bought the 300 but I’ll try that one if I don’t like this one, thanks
I am having a problem then ever I launch COTW it will some times open and sometime it will get stuck on the loading screen is there a fix?
if by that you mean it won't even make it to the menu before freezing, that's a save starting to go corrupt.
How do I fix it?
Also if I leave it for a couple hours I can just load in normally
the only way to get out of a corrupt file is having a backup. Losing some progress is better than having to start over entirely.
Can I just make a back up right now?
Damage is already there if you don't have one already unfortunately
Darn
you could copy your current file into a backup folder, start a new one, and then slowly replace things to figure out which files are broken
though that'd take a bit
🤷♀️ just happens sometimes, unfortunately
it's a risk with all games
happened to me last week actually
How’s your internet connection?
If my wifi is messed up it won’t load the game until I go into settings and deselect “connect to internet”. Then it’s fine
This is ps4 though
I am not even getting to that point
Ps4 settings not the game settings. No idea why that works but it does for me
Like settings > network
And turn off the internet connection
Then it loads up
Oh yea I'm good on that I have YT vids pulled up and everything.
We’ve had some weird connectivity issues in our area recently so I’ve had to deal with it several times
Idk that’s just what works for me. Worth a try if you’re not trying to multiplayer.
Idk if it is corrupted bc I con load in but somtimes it will not load
Yea ill give it a shot
Anyone on PC wanting to play rn?
yea what the heck? why has everyone been getting their files corrupted
my friend had to start over yesterday his save corrupted
a lot of things can corrupt a file, like file was unable to save properly, program closed improperly (usually the result of a crash), an error when saving the file, etc
Oh damnnn
on ps4 are corrupted files or on steam?
How can I get money fast? I spent all my money and idk how to do the glitches or anything someone help plz
Shoot everything you see. You'll build up money in no time @vital charm
@vital charmwhat lvl do you have?
no, you are not
you are newbie only
go to Layton Lake with 243 and free ammo - hunt whitetails or blacktails
fast and good money
later you will buy better ammo
Could you tell me where i can find Rocky Mountain Elk??
Thx
@vital charm have you tried doing any mission lines? Not sure what maps you have, but doing missions is a pretty quick way to earn starter cash at low levels, a lot of them are extremely quick with an atv too (speeds up travelling around the map, for some you need to kill things - which you don't want to touch the atv for)
There is a work around for the rendering problem. If you go to the spot you shot the animal and stand on top of the blood and push pu. It will give you credit for the kill. I don't know if it works on a bad shot, but it does work for a good one.
can .223 with soft point penetrate fallow deer to at least reach one lung?
only from pretty short range, and not if you hit a leg bone or something on the way in
what is considered short range? below 50m?
@grand moth I haven't tested the .223 specifically, but the .243 has huge reliabilty issues even on class 3 targets past 150 yards using soft points. So yeah, max reliable range is probably <150m with the .223 on class 4 targets and maybe considerably closer
conclusion: don't use .223 with soft point at all, i suggest you just stick to .243 since it can take more animals than .223 and has better power
i actually like the .223 for taking long shots at jackals, but never with soft points
i had issues with it and im not sure if there was a funky rock hitbox, or the ballistics on .223 are different but i couldn't hit a lynx at 250m+
Do u have to completw the tuotorial to harvest animals bc its not letting me do so
yeah, this was why i was using .223, i enjoyed using it on the coyotes
i've had no problems at all with the accuracy on it. it is weak as a kitten though. i tried it a few times on coyotes with soft points, and was only getting single lung penetration from 50-75m if i didn't hit a leg or shoulder bone on the way in
and i wanted to test the soft bullets since they suposedly are better at taking down if it can reach the lungs, and wanted to test it, but maybe from past experiences i'm a bit wary
Pls help me
i think that really only holds for larger calibers on longer shots where you'd only be getting single lung penetration anyways. might also be true on shorter shots where you can still say get double lung penetration on an elk with the .300 even using soft points. on the smaller caliber guns, the penetration stat is so bad on soft points, they're not worth using for anything
@cunning plover what tutorial? the game doesn't have one that i recall. just walk up to a dead animal and press 'E'
It doesnt let me harvest it and i tried twice
are you playing multiplayer? @cunning plover
Yes
oh yeah i never really thought this way but thats true, if you get to the lung you can get it sometimes quicker than getting single lung with polymer
that's a connection issue. if your ping rate is too high, you won't be able to harvest anything. you can try a few more times, but no guarantee you'll be able to harvest it. try to find a MP server closer to you. if your internet's bad enough though you won't be able to play MP at all. i'm in that boat myself. sucks, but that's the way it is. @cunning plover
No. My internet sucks, so multiplayer is pretty much unplayable for me unless I get super lucky and find a server in my state. Even then I still can't harvest things half the time
If you can't pick up animals, you have a bad connection to that server
is this a good sign?
it happens sometimes.
Level cap is 60. Anyone higher than that is hacking.
If someone like that is in the mp server or joins yours, I'd advice to leave or kick them out right away. Might mess up your map with other hacks.
I see
I was just on a random yukon server talkin to the host abt rifles and stuff
Like he seemed glitchy
His waypoint thingy
i find it hard to get anymore than 1 shot off before getting crosshairs back on animal before it/they flee, whats a good setting for field of view and aim sensitivity im guessing this could help?
Do u have the perk that gives less recoil
yes, wasnt sure if it is my computer or settings
what gun was you using?
the m1 is really the only deer rifle that's easy to take down multiples with
if you're using the .30-06 or the .303 you have to try and quick-scope the second shot. make sure to release your breath right as you shoot and then re-hold it as soon as your aim comes back after shooting
what is the max weight for a coyote?
56.8/59lbs—ish
not much, just a fairly common animal that you will run across a lot
diamond is the highest medal an animal can reach trophy-wise (excluding great ones ofc). they are the most sought after aside from rares
Any tips for diamond lions?
Kill every male lion in sight
Alright thanks
And if you can only find females...shoot those too
Might get a nice rare to go with a diamond
That's what I am hoping for even though I have a place holder
How can i get new ammo?
You buy it ??
Just go to the red locker that is at every outpost and go on the weapon you have, click on compatible and buy ammo
ok thx
No problem 👍☺️
Also always try to buy the ammo with the most penetration
It's almost always the better choice
How can I find diamond black/white tail. I've played this game for maybe 7 months and still don't have a diamond one in my lodge! Any ideas? -Ping me so I can see it
Have you farmed/hunted other Diamond animals before?
Yes I do have multiple diamonds
And on Layton I do have a whitetail system going
With tripods and tents etc
Then I think you know the ropes. Just a matter of getting as many males as possible.
yeah
just not lucky i guess
Are we allowed to post reddit links?
you know any really good single player drink spots?
for whitetail
and idk about the reddit stuff
@snow onyx check pinned messages mate 😁
Hi
Does anybody know what addons are In the 2019 edition on ps4 i dont find an answer in the internet evry website say something other
I think this?
yes it says that the health is 0 - 25% and i cant find the tracks anymore
the track before the one in the picture was blood, so it didnt stop bleeding
Then.. i am sorry for your loss
There is curremtly a bug
Any animal killed that ran out of your 400m (i think) radius...dies and despawns
Or well has a chance too
; ;
Try roaming around the area to see if you cam pick up the invisable animal it might still be there
Or if it was really good restart your game
It should be back at where you found it
i shot it from over 100 meters and i wanted it for my new highest ; ; i already looked around, i couldnt find anything, thanks for your help anyway.
Just close amd reopen the game, the animal respawns in the same need zone
Np
Have the dog track it over and over and see exactly where it stops and check that area around it and see if you possibly get the pop up to claim trophy it's there you just have to find it it takes a little bit of effort and you may not but you should be able to
If you have the dog if you do not just look around the area in front of the last track
well im 2hrs late so I guess that was for nothing
No
also, the animal has to come to the need point at some point within the time frame right?
Yes or atleast near the area
ok thx
should i hunt lions in drink time? also what are the best spots for them?
what does it mean when an area turns purple
tdk srry
that hunting pressure
too much hunting pressure wil delete zones and animals will spook more easily
delete them?
yeah the zone will move to a different spot
oh ok
can caribou lvl 4 make a diamond?
I'd assume on very rare occasion
but caribou are also notorious trolls from what I've heard
highly unlikely, bordering on impossible. also most reindeer/caribou i've seen score in the bottom half of their estimate
reindeer and caribou troll 70-80% of the time from what i've heard. i've personally been trolled twice by reindeer (second one had a 451 top estimate, didnt even crack 400 TR)
been trolled twice as well, my top reindeer is 0.3 away from diamond..
my only troll so far has been the werecoyote
reindeer and lynx are the diamonds i wanted from the start of the game
i dunno what's worse:
a 451 top estimate reindeer not even cracking 400 TR, or a reindeer that's 0.3 off diamond
Take #2 should hopefully be sometime this week
it sure was bottom half, scored 378 lol
yeah it happens
is it sad that i have four diamond lynx but not a single rare?
what platform you on?
PC
i will consider it
also since im playing through GFN do you guys think animal info and reserve info saves in local files or steam files
i actually dont have a clue lol
yeah because ive been grinding reindeer since 10 months, not a very hard grind but still
anyways lets go to #🦌︴general
yes
It saves both places from what I understand. Save game is local, but occasionally gets backed up to the cloud.
338 or 300 for my high power rifle nned help choosing which to buy ?
or hell the 470 haha
.300 holds 4 rounds instead of just 1
i would avoid the 470. it's a one-trick pony. its rated for only class 9 animals and is only really good at short ranges (<75m)
.338 is slightly more powerful and is 4/5 the cost of the .300, but the .300 has four rounds to the .338's single shot, and is a full weight unit lighter
perfect thanks guys
i'd personally suggest saving up the extra 15 grand and getting that .300
HOWEVER
you can get a free .338 by completing the 15 parque fernando challenge circles (assuming you own the map)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1596271417
@charred valley
Effective ways to hunt harlequin duckies?
break out the .22 and snipe them
Is the challenge circle mission bugged I can’t find the targets
It's not bugged look up a yt video on it
Thanks
there's this one clearing across the road from the area where the werecoyote is found that has a feed zone for both types of deer and elk
that's my #1 spot on Layton
There's water everywhere, and you can find animals basically anywhere that has water. Exact animal locations on that map tend to be pretty randomized. The big swampy area in Balmont usually has the highest concentration of drink zones though. I've written a guide on Steam if you're looking for whitetail. There is also quite a bit of youtube content for Layton. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2491823367
Thank you!
Question what is the smallest score anyone has recorded on a fallow deer?
can anyone visit friends lodges at the moment, i cant, just wondering if its a widespread thing .. or just me
@fierce wave im not sure of the score of mine but i have a trophy on the wall that looks like he has thumbs on his head
interesting I was looking at a fellow with a 25 to 70 estimate and I was kind of curious what could be the lowest
just getting a screenshot
Are you on PC or console about not being able to visit lodges?
ahh ok I'll look and see if I can in a few
Are ducks just broken on every map but Yukon or?
Like 3 hours rl middle of the map 40 decoys 0 flocks broken
Pf and Layton. If I do it on Yukon its rarely more than 15 minutes
Tried 3 hours mallards last night got 2 flocks. 3 hours teals tonight 0 flocks. I sit in the blind while the game is on just hitting the caller
Guess I'm not hunting ducks then. Awesome
Ducks do have need zones
Well they seemed to need these zones alot more before the dog update and subsequent hotfix
I mean its the biggest lake in the middle of PF I saw 5 flocks here yesterday
if i delete a lodge do i lose all the mounts inside it?
Not sure but I sure as hell I would not try and see
my lowest is like 16.4. 0 minimum estimate
jesus
i really want a thumbhead fallow now
Does the official website receive suggestions or only bug submitting?
I have a suggestion and I want to send it to developers via official channels but it's not a bug
jo guys i think my ps4 and my disc just broke do you guys know if you can connect your old acount to a new one from the ps4/ps5 shop or do i have to start over again
As long as u dont delete ur save data ur fine ur progress is on ur console not ur disc
ok thank u
Also I recommend buying a digital copy so u dont have to worry about the disc
yeah ik
any tips on finding whitetail zones?
thx
Why is here a purple zone?
Hunting pressure
hunting pressure appears after you kill an animal, and animals will avoid it
or at least try to
Ok thx
If it gets too dark need zones WILL VANISH
So if the purple becomes pinkish...animals will totally avoid iy
And how long will they avoid these zones
Has the game bullet drop?
yes
yes
What is the best way to kill Wisents?
the .300, if you have the Yukon DLC
if not that, either the 7mm or the .338
Thx
any tips on trying to play mouse and keyboard with a broken finger?
Depends which finger
right index
Need some help guys... shot a lv4 blue wildebeest that scored 37.60 but it didnt register as a diamond any reason why this would happen?
Can u play left handed
Decimals I'm the thousandth place
i doubt it but ill try
Thats just crazy lol... never seen it happen but guess anything is possible 😤
I've seen it a few times
Seen it happen many times before
Guess the grind for 1 will continue... thanks for the info👍
How long did i need to wait that rabbits came out of their Holes?
i think it depends on the zone
or did you spook them
and they fled
yes
wait maybe a minute irl and if they dont comeback, try to change time
im no expert at rabbits in cotw
is a grey brown chimois rare?
also what is highest for diamond on elk?
rocky montain elk
TruRACS animals dont have a max score
481.4
switch to using your middle finger for the right mouse button, pointer for left and keyboard with left hand
unless you use your left hand for mouse
then idk
Holy shit
ok so
I accidentally closed my game through task manager
Everytime I try to open my game it crashes when loading the menu
Try restarting your computer
did 3 times
Huh
I did 3 times
You through steam?
The current save game was corrupted or something
I replaced my original game file back game crashed again
Like that
So what I did was I went through and found the file that was that was last modified deleted it replaced it with the same file from my backup save started the game up and my game started up with everything the same except I started on Layton lakes instead of te awaroa
Interesting
yes very
I’ve noticed the game is getting pretty strange lately
It’s doing some weird crap on my pc and I don’t like it
oh god
Like lots of crashes and graphics issues
i replaced the right hightlighted one with the left and my game didnt crash for first time in 7 trys with 3 of them crashing my whole pc
Interesting and it’s fixed now
Well it seems like lots of people experience this thing with the game nowadays
yeah but I also all of a sudden accidentally force closed mine through task manager I was kind of expecting it to be messed up truth be told it's never good when you do that
Yeah
Maybe this is a way people that have this issue could possibly fix it as long as they have backups I guess
Doesn’t steam automatically backup every two weeks or something like that?
I think so it depends if you have it turned on or not I believe
I should check that
With my game being all squirrelly I do t want to louse anything
i see people have their animal with all their fur on in the statistics once you harvest an animal but mine just shows the anatomy on the inside, how do i toggle the fur on model?
Console or PC? PC is right click.
Console is r2
how long does it usually take for animals to respawn?
I joined a server yesterday and found a troll rme but the host left before I killed it. I joined the same server again today and the same exact elk was there again. Im just curious as to how long I might be waiting for him to respawn
If you kill him? Three in-game days I believe. You can use resting to achieve that period too. I usually go four to be safe.
Can you chat in cotw on xbox
I would imagine they have some sort of voice chat like PlayStation
It does
how often does this game crash?
its crashing 5-10 times a day (of 8ish hrs of playtime)
anywhere from "almost never" to "all the damn time" depending on who you ask
I get crashes on occasion, but by "on occasion" I mean maybe once or twice a month. and I spend basically all day every day on the game, so that's a factor for me
dang
what platform you on?
how much free space on it?
does anybody have a good spot for welll, all the birds other than harlequin?
cinnamon tails, mallards, canada geese
layton lakes is packed with dux during the whitetail drink time. pick a random body of water during that time and there's almost certainly gonna be dux there
alright, what about the other birds?
i found mallards when hunting elk and whitetail in the top part of the map
cinnamon teal can only be found on parque, for one
i'd need to check if they've suffered an extinction event like geese have
extinctio nevent?
Some people aren't finding any geese on their maps
yeah some people have found one flock in the span of like three IRL hours
oh i had that once, 2 hours instead of 3
Hi guys, I just bought the game and loaded it up to find that everything is in slow-motion. I tried changing my graphics and nothing is working, any help?
set all the graphics to low if you haven't already
things going in slow-motion means you're probably getting low framerates, which usually means an excessive load on your graphics processor
i have tried it and not much better... tried everything and nothing will work.
what are your PC specs?
I looked at the minimum specs needed to run COW and my pc has everything. 8GB RAM, INTEL i5, NVidia GTX 760 / R9 270x - 4GB VRAM
check to make sure the game is running off the GPU and not integrated graphics
i was wrong about the graphics card... I am not very good with computers... I think this is the card i have, Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620
yeah that's gonna be your biggest bottleneck. the game is very GPU-intensive
integrated graphics cards tend to not be very powerful. to run the game at least somewhat smoothly, you'd probably need a dedicated graphics card
mmm okay thank you very much, will see what i can do!!
now that i think about it, lemme disable hardware acceleration for discord lol
I feel really stupid asking this, but what's with the fish in Layton lake?
They’re just scenery objects
Thanks
hi, im wondering if there is weather in the game that can affect your health and do tents provide protection
The only thing that affects your health is fall damage and animals running into/attacking you
ohh thanks
If anyone has any tips for hunting Turkey I’d love to know. Specifically your fav hotspots and the time. Struggling here lol.
does anyone know how to wipe their srp population? mine is glitched and i dont know how to fix it
im tired of seeing this around every corner
You would have to go into your game files
But if you shoot it... what happens
either it's a very bizarre bug, or they went onto a hacked server in the past and it was the type of hack that messed with their population files
in other words those are all hacked animals and thus aren't allowed to be shared here because they're not legit
Just like everything else try to find drink zones for them. You can find them at most of the lakes on the right 2/3 of the map at SRP. If you can't see them straight off, crouch walk in closer and hit the crow caller once in awhile. that will help you locate where they're at.
There's an outpost and 3 or 4 lakes in the northeast corner is a really good spot and the lake in the middle in sun setters i think its called. 15:00 - 16:30 they're drinking
Yep what he said lol crow caller will get them to vocalize but not move. Mouth caller will attract them
Have fun they're a hoot lol
Oh I didn’t know that about the callers, that’s good to know! Thanks y’all.
If I place my deer blind on my friends world will it stay there?
No. It will be returned to your storage when you exit the world
Wait frr?
Yes
@stuck mango yeah, they register as diamonds but theyre ALL scoring diamond bc most r max level and score
so I got a goose lure setup as ideal as I know how to make it
just south of rathenfeld northern, 20 decoys, and the blind
is there like, a specific time to wait for this?
or just sitting here and waiting would be good enough?
I have not killed a single goose in this map yet, so I'm assuming spawn glitches are not applicable
I usually have decent luck from 6-11
No
am I supposed to spread the decoys out more or will this work
No can go alot tighter
No that will work
okay, tyty~
Can put 20 of each type for even more attraction too I believe
The only problems you might have is if a goose goes behind one of those bales
oh, i had the impressions that the decoy kind didn't matter
I have 10-5-5 of each kind
I haven't researched it myself but saw a guy saying that on here. I did 20-20 and seemed to get more multi-flocks but who knows if thats why
For some they are working for some they aren't its true
I haven't had too much trouble with geese tbh
Tactician and I haven't slowed down at all lol
yeah, sometimes it takes a while to see a flock, but then I might have an instance of back-to-back flocks
Must be nice😂
Ritterstein strawfields is the consistent hotspot for me
and even if you don't have geese coming, fields tend to be travel paths for other animals
I scored a diamond fallow once that way
I just farm the males now for the most part. Noticing alot more level 4s
wow
thanks for the 6am tip, I got like 3 flocks collapsing on each other
I need a retriever
I'm almost certain I left like 6 birds on the ground~
Lol best sound
what's the hotkey to mark an animal
by default its “E”
thanks
also can you save a multiplayer game, and how do you load the multiplayer game, do you just load it after clicking multiplayer
i dont think you can save a multi game, and to get back you need to find the server in the list
im assuming the server disappears if the host leaves
and all multiplayer progress is gone?
if you tax an animal you keep it
and whoever owned the map keeps the pressure, respawns, etc
or sometimes, hacked animals
Here’s a weird tip: if a turkey calls (mating) and you dont have the caller on you, charge it with the .22 zeroed for 50 with no scope, so when it flies at you, you can easily take it out. I got a lvl 3 turkey that way.
so does anyone know the point of this file like what it does? reserveworlddata_adf
It is the one file that got corrupted in my save data that kept my game from starting and kept making it crash
No, whoever was the next player to join after the server was created is now the host. Anything killed after that and any hunting pressure put on the map does not go on the original host’s map or the new host’s map.
But if the host leaves and no one else is in the server it’s gone.
oh i see
Are caribou and reindeer interchangeable for the multi-mounts as well as grizzly and brown bear for its multi mount?
Unfortunately no.
Damn alright I was curious since mountain lion and puma are interchangeable
Those are basically the same animal. they just have a different name depending on the map
is there a log of sorts? cuz i just shot 10+ bears still counting in 1 valley in the span of a minute
where is the codex?
Press on ur map and u should see the codex on the left side
kinda hard to find body at night but im at 11 rn
12 but im sure i lost 2 or more somewhere god damn
There is no log* of bodies you need to harvest, but if you spotted them (try keep them spotted and highlighted as long as possible), they should appear on your map.
You can use your torch also
You mean at night and when you know where the body is?
Yes. Unless I am misunderstanding something
I think they meant, you shoot a bunch of animals, then you want to make sure you harvest them all. Torch will not help too much, since if you can see them you would get them anyways.
Still don't see how a torch will be unhelpful but thanks for the clarity👍
sometimes when animals call the mating or warning call icon doesnt show up, is this normal?
e.g i hear a roe deer but the (((( ))))) icon doesnt show up, yet i use a caller and it comes
If happens sometimes
yeah I get that happening sometimes
Does anyone know why the Xbox cotw club doesn't have a community manager anymore?
hold R
to switch betwenn the ammo types
@merry sedge ty
no problem
anyone know some good chamois spots
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2491823367 here is a guide i wrote on Steam. There are also a few decent vids on youtube
how can i hunt euro rabbit in hirschfelden can you show in map with marks
Euro wabbits have burrows that you need to find. They seem to come out of those burrows at specific times of day
thought id ask if anyone else has experienced this multiplayer issue on pc where you can do everything including shoot animals but you cant harvest?
lost a diamond fallow last night to this issue
Like, no “confirm harvest” button?
That’s either a server issue or a connectivity issue
yeah it was odd because it wasnt like the normal connectivity issue where the animals didnt move, you couldnt shoot stuff etc
i was able to chat freely and the other player ran over and could see me etc
Possibly an issue with your ping
possibly
ah well
maybe no multiplayer for a while haha
i do have new zealand internet which is notoriously awful, its just i havent had a problem before
@gleaming lintel
May I ask, how you know it was a diamond?? Without harvest, it could be a troll. A lot of fallows troll.
Just a thought. I don't mean anything bye, but it my help ease the pain of thinking it was a diamond.
it was pretty massive looking with a huge estimate cant remember the exact number
so it could have trolled i suppose but im fairly sure it was diamond
Kool
I was just trying to look at it differently, so it is not frustrating.
its not the end of the world will just have to keep looking haha, i feel like im the only one that didnt get one on my te awaroa singleplayer map haha
I finally got 1,but after 2 trolls
so ive been grinding them, thought i would try multiplayer, saw a level 5 immediately then couldnt pick it up, cruel fate /j
Does anyone use a perk other than zero
i think it should be default tbh
default zero for most rifles is 150m
not all of them though. the ones that use ammo with shorter effective ranges also have shorter default zeros
@sour basin yeah just playing without tracks etc n wondering if any other perks with trying
There's plenty of perks that are useful, but that's really the only active perk I use unless I'm bow hunting. If I'm bowhunting, sometimes I'll use the one that gauges wind direction and speed instead. How are you liking the hardcore mode hunting?
Im finding it easier without the visual clutter of like a millon foot prints i still have hud rn cus im using zero but was gonna take wind gage or something and i still have on cones just to give vauge direction
In Parque Fernando, one mission tells you to place some duck decoys, does anyone know if those decoys actually work as if they were your own decoys?
nvm answered my own question I guess, they disappeared after fast traveling away and back to them.
western side of the map basically, the far west part of the river and the narrower of the two lakes above it are probably my two best spots
you can sit up in the stand on that lake and call in lots of red deer and sika if you do so at the right time
also dont forget to check the western coastline up from the river especially, i had a few zones there id missed
does the silver ridge peaks map have a mission that gives you a rare colored or diamond animal? (Like for example Mr black from layton)
unless my memory is awful, no
in fact i dont think theres any missions to hunt animals at all???
its all busy work stuff if i remember correctly
SRP doesn't have any special animals to it, no. No side quests either.
Can confirm, finished SRP story last night.
It's a good story, just not much in the way of hunting
With how much trouble the side missions of Hirsch and Layton have given me I'm honestly not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed that SRP didn't have any hunting/side missions
is there any way to see how many animals you've killed the entire time you've played the game? like ingame statistics
also is there anyway to harvest a duck that i shot in the middle of a lake? or was that a dumb decision lol
nvm it floated to me
Check your codex
tyyy
Any animal that ends up floating will drift toward you.
You' re welcome
Hey quick question. Is there a way to play the maps in the hunter without having to go through the campaign
U dont have to do the story missions u can ignore them
Those are optional and in the settings u can turn off missions
What happens if you’re tracking an animal and it runs out of the reserve?
no
are egg white gray wolf skins rare?
Yeah pretty much or extremely uncommon
nice, the first wolf pack i came across had a egg white skin and i was fortunate enough to land a hit on her
also, will there be more lounge animal preset thingies in the future?
Which is the best map to start grinding on? I have enough weapons and bullets to take on any animal
I need help to find a Diamond wildebeest
it’s my fav animal and i want it
I don’t know where they are on the map
Hunt there feed time and run the bottom of the map
Bottom lakes ?
okay thanks i’ll try it
You have Silver Ridge Peaks?
Yes
I hear it is pretty good going.
Should have thought of that one. Thanks
is there an achievement for collecting all the weapons in the game?
or at least all the ones available to you?
No there is one for the callers tho called jack of all trades
👍🏼
was just wondering, since I've got 18+ hidden achievements
...might they add one in the future though 🤔
can someone tell me the reason why my game REFUSES to start up? I load into the home page and when i see the icon in the bottom right become a bear, the game freezes. Can't ALT + TAB out, and if i try, the entire screen becomes black and my pc is stuck like that until i shut it down via manual button.
Saw this handy guide in their support page https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013039500-Can-t-Launch-theHunter-Call-of-the-Wild-PC-
Can this be pinned?
it has to get linked very often
thank you
it worked
now i can find whitetail zones!
Question: if i find a WT ddrink zone in my MP, will it appear in my map?
Not unless it's on your map and you're hosting
alr
it was my map and i was hosting, but when i went into sp, one of my zones was gone.
nobody deleted it
i cannot find any WT zones at mushroom lake
I dont have any there either dont worry about it
i need info from someone
is the crossbow bugged at all?
bolts on the quiver and while loading don't match the fletching of the different types
and aiming seems inconsistent
@toxic bane
Check that out. It will help you.
I'm not having any problems with them.
Xbox
yep, that's the range guide that I'm using, PC and still having issues
Okay so someone yesterday said they kill does and they are replaced with bucks. Is that true? I thought you only could kill bucks to get new bucks to respawn.
to kinda illustrate what I'm talking about
with 600gr and 50m zero, bottom dot of the crossbow should be 90m
I aimed that dot at about the red cross marker (compensating for wind, aiming for lungs)
you can see the distance of the shot is just about 91m
and I somehow hit that low
I don't think that is true
Which part
does get replaced with bucks
From what I know you can only get new bucks from killing bucks
That’s what I thought too
im new to the game, i was wondering if some one would be able to help me get started a little
@shrewd turret
They are talking about white tail. Players who grind them. They run into having only doe in a zone and they kill them and they are saying bucks are coming back.
I believe what you put in. Kill a buck and a new respawns.
Yes that’s what they said
I reset my population and now the only animal on my layton map is ducks
is it possible tp brain shot without damaging trophy i dont think so but curoius as my friend was asking me
That makes the most sense
Prob a even chance or even a little less
When killing a doe/female of a species
only through an occasional glitch, I think
it's better to get the brainshot achievement through does
Does anyone else have issues with geese not really spawning? I used to hunt loads of geese a couple months ago and just got back to the game and I'm not having any spawns for over 2 hours now, same spot as I always used before
Nearly all lakes at Layton can have WT on them. The 4 big lakes on the southern 1/2 of the map always have some (at least on all 3 playthroughs I've done). The smaller lakes are completely random so kind of hit or miss. I had one playthrough where nearly every small lake had a herd, but the river was kind of empty. My latest playthrough, about half the small lakes are empty, but the river is loaded.
How do I find animals I'm new and its really hard I don't run I crouch crawl I just can't find any how can i????
the easiest way is to find out what time the animals drink and hunt around water. I wrote a Steam guide if you want specific instructions for whitetail. Also some very good youtube guides out there. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2491823367
are geese broken atm?
because i cant get any to show up at any of my four spots, I even moved one and nothing
I really wish the game gave you one more skill point
why
Because I want the pack mule perk as well as Disturbed vegetation
this though.
like...give us bonus points for finding collectibles, at least
geese are hit-or-miss right now, but I tend to have consistent decent luck at the Ritterstein strawfields
YES PLEASE
Completing questline ending quests just anything to give a few more bonus points or let you pick your bonus points which category do you wish to have them in
Or increase the level cap
@tranquil tundra thanks for that, how long do you normally have to call for for them to show up? I havent even heard any flying overhead lately
Varies. Sometimes it'll only take ten minutes, sometimes a half-hour
and sometimes it seems like they're all on the side of the map that has nowhere for them to land
thanks!
next time i have a podcast to listen to i will just have to commit to sitting there for a while lol
Does anyone have a guide or something about setting up turkey decoys?
What's the max size female Eu bison? If anyone knows
Score*
I have one with a 95-154 estaminet
my game wont launch for me on my pc, ive searched on youtube and have tried everything and it still wont launch my game and i dont know how to fix this.
yea i did all that, idk whats the matter, ended up having to refund
Huh
It was 100...
I recently reset my population and now the only animals on my map are ducks.
Anyone have issues with the grelcks
i'm confused
it says i have 24 diamonds
I've never harvested a single diamond animal
There was recently a bug that made gold scoring animals count as diamonds.
i tend to randomly find a lot in those fields by the river. then again i don't play cuatro much so you don't have to take my word for it
Which gun i can hunt class 1 animals? I don t have anu dlcs
Interesting little thing I bought the 6.5 thunder and for some damn reason it unlocked and gave me the rato and not the thunder
Haha
12g with birdshot or small game arrows and a bow
Yeah I'm pissed about it lol
Woop did it bloody hares
Hell yeah congrats
can i play on other maps without dlc
?
In multiplayer you can play any map
I bought only the game with 6 euros . You have layton and hirsh as singleplayer
To play other maps single player you need to buy them but you ca play any map multiplayer for free @last hemlock
Are there any xxl mounts i can put in springs creek lodge?
Night time drink time
what weapon you guys can recommend ?
Depends on what you wanna hunt and what dlc you have
I personally like hunting with my 7 mm since it can hit anything from rank 4 till 9
Soo ye it really dpends
how can i increase my fps
i'm playing 512x154 but game is lagging
Hey guys, I am playing theHunter with my classmate and I ran into an dilemate; I have 5 USD and looking to buy a new reserve.
What reserve do i buy? Yukon? Savanna?
when i look sky my fps is increaseing
You can turn your graphic settings down
Depends on you, if you want to hunt grizzly bears or gray wolves pick Yukon but if you want to hunt lions or Cape buffalo pick vurhonga
Vurhonga has much more new species then Yukon does.
What about Fernando
Fernando has some new species too
Like axis deer and blackbuck
So it just depends on what you want
Oh also Yukon unlocks the .300
Which is probably the best gun for 7-9 animal classes
I would personally say yukon
Just look at the animal lists for both reserves
And see what animals suit you the best
Well here
Parque
Parque also has some overlapping animals tho?
Parques only repeat is red deer while yukon has moose and fox
So which one has the most species????
They both have 7
I might need to do an up to date version of this but I still keep getting comments how it works so here you go 🙂 https://youtu.be/J43oRXi1KxQ
Today I want to share few of my favorite red deer hunting spots that I've come across during my diamond hunt in Hirschfelden. Definitely check them out you if you haven't already and I hope it's useful for you!

thx
how long does it take for the blood on the map to go away?
Hunting pressure you mean? It fades away when you kill elsewhere. Basically new pressure starts removing oldest ones.
ohhh like that thanks
M1 Iwaniec model is not visible to other people in my server- atleast my friend doesnt see it. Why?
What you mean? They don't see you holding it or in the store? Weapon DLC are personal, they are not available to other people unless they own it too.
They don't see me holding it
Actually- he
do ground blinds and treestands reduce pressure like the tripods do?
yes
cool
And bows make less pressure even without stand so it's very useful
Level 4 pressure deletes zones inside the pressure. So with rifle without blind 4th kill will remove zones. With stand you can kill 14. With bows you can kill 14 without stand and It was something like 60 or so from a stand.
So if you want to keep your zones, use a stand or don't kill more than 3 from ground with a rifle.
is there a way to zero a scope on a bow/crossbow bc if i shoot in the shooting range i hit the upper part of the target when aiming in the center part
for bows there are 20m, 40m and 60m
look
its the wp 1 pack crossbow?
idk i have all dlc XD
alright so listen to me
WP1 is crossbow yes
wweapoon pack 1 crossbow
ok so
on the scope
put on the scope
and
do arrow fall calculations
not yet
Oh hai Ormy, can I ask ya a question about these since you're here
Sure thing!
ow yeah thanks
yup got it working thx
Is the crossbow aiming like, bugged atm? I was using it a bunch recently and the bottom mildot doesn't seem accurate to the ranges of the chart you made, specially with the 600gr bolts
I was trying to shoot a moose in like the shoulder blade at 90m with the bottom dot and somehow landed the bolt in the back front leg
Which zero you had?
Were you on level with the moose or was it higher or lower than you?
That has some effect on it
Almost level iirc, maybe a bit lower
Do you have maxed pumping iron?
Ye
Weird then
They might have changed something since I made those charts. it's been a while
Longer distances were a bit trickier to test anyway since wind started to affect them a lot 😄 Oooo but you can test the xbow in the Hirsch range!
Normal bows you can't because the arrows hit the top of the range in long distances.
Hm, now that you mention it~
Hmm might be the case with xbow too
I had also tested the 420grs with the bottom mildot at the range with 100m targets
It shoots a touch low
You have to like, aim with the top of the line under the dot
It's best to test it yourself since they really might have done some changes since that
Yeh, I really hope it's just a bug that they can fix in the next update
But thanks for your time~
Thanks for letting me know! Might need to test it myself and update those if they are as accurate anymore 🙂
Tag me if you do~
What are the shit timings?
Like, very fresh, fresh, a while ago, old, very old?
very fresh - less then 1 minute fresh is 1 - 5 min (my friend told me so im not sure this its how it realy is)
what is a good way to make money
Kill everything you see
I paid so much for this fucking game I got all the dlc packages but you still haven't fixed that bag bug. I think the producers didn't give the actors due respect. This is utter disgrace. @oak pollen 😤
wut
oh the bag bug
they did say any fixes would be pushed to the next mayor update, so probably wait until mid-june for a fix for that?
aint like it's game breaking
I just told the bag to take up my screen. this is just the beginning. The lights of the atv go on and off out of nowhere. When I shoot the lions, their front legs are running in the air. There are many more mistakes that I haven't counted. If you gave the importance you gave to your old hunting game to your new game, we wouldn't be talking about them right now.
again, wait until the next mayor update
and until then, keep reporting the bugs thru #📜︴support so they know what to fix for then
i can imagine if you're solely focused on rearranging structures then the big bag makes sense
backpacks make you sound like a fighter jet
which seems a bit silly dunit?
i can understand bags making you louder/more visible but it maybe increases it too much
Please don't tag CMs and Pucu has never even worked for cotw lol.
sorry. I guess I should have shoved the tents I had to carry with me up your ass
That explains it
rood
I carry a big bag with me so I don't get those tents up your ass. Now you know why I carry a big bag oky?
one shed on layton is at: 9619, 7176
Reason: Rule A.
Is cheelah a good place to place a tent I'm new and doing the kill blackmail at cheetah night
Gave you a warning. Respect other members.
Where should I place my tent at chelleah I'm new
I'm trying to get some white tail
Bucks
is the .44 any good for wolves or do I have to keep grinding my handgun score?
In theory it's gud but honestly the .454 is just amazing
Place your tent about 200m back from the water downwind from the lake
The .44 is actually useful which is unusual for a handgun, but it's not great for wolves from what I remember. The .454 will put them DOWN
Oof I was worried that might be the answer
I honestly don't like using the handgun that much 😂
454 is worth it tho
So fun
But then again any good rifle will also be good for wolves
Slap slugs in the 12 gauge pump to I say it'll plant them
those both work, but the .454 is better when you're trying to take out 4-5 of them at close range
So pretty much m1 best rifle 454 best pistol and 12g pump with slugs best shotgun for them
slugs don't have the same problem as buckshot in that it's guaranteed to clip the skull unless it's broadside, right?
I would be scared to use buck on them unless the lickin you knee for hitting the skull
Knowing my luck it would be a diamond
Yeah you are only going to hit the skull using a slug is if you aim at it buckshot spreads everywhere
Slug is a single projectile it goes where you aim unlike buckshot and birdshot
Nice
It's a 1 oz 50 caliber projectile flying out of a shotgun lol
would the 20 work well too?
I would say so if you don't have the pump inlocked
mostly because one of the 20's is a semiauto
Or the 10g if you have it
10g slugs are 6-9
Ahh
yeah that thing's my go-to for geese so I'm familiar with its range
Yeah but only 3 shots
Nice!!
Speaking of geese how do you get them to actually spawn in and land
I set up 20 decoys on a field and called from a blind at 7 in the morning but none actually came
Geese are a bit wonky rn
sometimes it'll take 10 irl minutes for them to come, sometimes a half-hour.
but I tend to get consistent good luck at the Ritterstein strawfields
Are those the north or the southeastern fields
It's a all in-game day thing sitting there and wait and call
North
so if you have the tripod DLC it's safer to use that thing, in case some boar wander by
I have been having the best luck in the southeast
seriously, I was in a ground blind and got jumped by a boar because I happened to be right in a travel path
Boat are assholes if you just minding business goose hunting
Same I was in the lay blind shot the damn thing 3 times with the 45 still killed me with it's friend
