Hey so i have recently killed a lot of roe deer in cuatro and now i cant find any im not too sure if they havent respawned yet but i cant find any at my lakes?
It take around 3 in game days for the to
And if you have a lot of hunting pressure they won't be there
To
3 in game days thats an ouch
What if i use the beds does it reset it
Also big question if i go and play multiplayer and come back after like 5 hours would they respawn because its past 3 in game days
Yes
5 irl hours is not even one in-game day. Also, going into multiplayer does not affect your own respawns unless you are the one hosting the session
So im pretty sure i have killed like all my roe deer trying to get a diamond
Alternatively, the respawns are in an area of the map you’ve never checked
Are you kidding theres no way that 5 irl hours isnt a full game day
I mean i just check all the lakes at drink times
This has happened to me more times than I am willing to admit when lynx grinding
1 IRL minute is 4 in-game minutes, so one in-game day is equal to six IRL hours
Easier trick: use the outposts, set the time back one minute
That will cycle through the entire day
You can reset time back by one minute three times and that counts as three in-game days
And they respawn??
It’s a common trick people use to accelerate respawns
I thought for a second i was gonna have to wait 18 hours just to get roe deers to come back
You may also want to consider checking lakes you have not checked in a while or at all. Respawns may not spawn in the same area as the ones you originally killed
Maybe but i have checked all the big lakes ppl say to check there only like 3 lakes i havent checked
During my lynx grind I’ve had several hotspots go bone dry while some areas turned into goldmines
Ill take it into account i havent played for like a year idk anything
I just like roe deer and want a diamond
Check those three lakes then. There may be roe deer chillin there that you don’t yet know about
And then my mate was like you know there difficult
Oo i just noticed im rather poor
whats a full spread for geese
.........the fuck is a “full spread”?
max attraction
20 decoys
ok thank you
Is there a fix yet for the "Gold Mine" dynamite quest bug at all? I've had this bug since parque was released and i'd really like to finish the mission
i've shot it dead on from 'the' spot and nothing has happened
I was able to do that mission not too long ago, so if there's a problem it's on your end
Does anyone have any advice on hunting mallards? I have 6 setups in Layton Lake, including blinds, decoys and that stuff... All of them are max 50m away from the nearest need zone, but I almost never get a chance to spot, or even see one. I also tried using caller several times, but there was no effect.
Good for you, but I'm obviously not that lucky
You on pc?
Yes
You got .22?
Okay, lemme add you on discord rn and sometime we can play
I'll let you get mallard oj my map
Just no Diamond since I've been waiting to get a diamond
Thanks, but I just don't know what am I doing wrong
Do you have any tents near those need zones?
Yes
How close
about 100 m
Yeah, i know
Ok, I will
Okay, if it doesn't work sorry
anyway, thank you for the advice
No problem
Side quest, I think
Is there a certain area where good animals spawn on the New Zealand map
Good animals can spawn literally anywhere on the map. You just gotta go looking for them
Does anybody know what the biggest bighorn sheep is yet because i think nobody ever had a max score or am i wrong
There is no max
No TruRACS/TruHorns animal has a max score, at least to our knowledge
help needed my friends game keeps freezing at the loading screen
Corrupt file, probably
yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
like if nothing on that web page helps, it means the file's bricked
if you have a backup time and patience you might be able to fix it
if you have the luxury of time, you may be able to isolate which file was corrupted
i always make backups of my game every play session or two now
yeah took me an hour hour and a half to do it
Am I the only one where the outpost is not takeable?
I tried 5 times to take it but i cant
I also switched the game
But nothing works
It’s part of a single player quest you have to do to claim it
That's stupid
not really. the story mission revolves around you setting up that outpost. i'd leave a tent there until you have completed that mission
^
^^

I got a question why me not finding any diamonds I’m doing hotspots for diamond and rare grizzly not finding any for the past 4hours but other people straight away find them any help?
Ping me if u reply
Search the areas you haven’t checked in a while or at all. There may be cool grizzlies hiding in some random corner of the map that you haven’t been to.
Another explanation: you just don’t have a diamond on your world. In that case, kill more male grizzlies so there’s more chances for one to respawn as a diamond
Thanks
can the .22 pistol take any scopes
Yes, the reflex sight and the 2-4x handgun scope
thanks
does the red dot work with the .22 pistol and witch dlc is the reflex sight in?
That scope is not worth the cash
seriously. I was aiming right at a boar once and I still missed somehow.
how do i get the reflex sight? is it in a dlc?
ok thanks
From what I can tell, it seems like it comes with Vurhonga Savannah
thanks
nope, I don't have vurhonga but do have the reflex sight
And the 470
I’m gonna guess wild goose chase gear
either that or the weapon pack that the 22LR pistol comes with
Since of those three weapons, the SxS 20ga was the first to come out
regardless it should be compatible with a lot more weapons
The reflex site came for free with the release of vurhunga
Oh interesting
the vanilla red dot sucks
Yes
i guess you automatically get the reflex sight if you own any weapon that is compatible with it
but yeh
Maybe?
I mean if it came out with Vurhonga, but I don't own Vurhonga and yet still have it for the 22LR pistol and 20GA SxS
I dunno if there's a better explanation
Probably yeah
wait you talking about the red raptor one?
because that's the one that I tried using before
red raptor reflex
that thing is a piece of shit
had a boar practically right in front of me and I still somehow missed with it
That one is garbo. The one we are talking about is the smoler, squared off RDS
the marksman one?
Yes
haven't tried that one
Much better than the red raptor garbo
Smaller dot, smaller sight
Only compatible with a handful of weapons tho
For reference: this is the Red Raptor Reflex Sight
And this is the Marksman Exakt Reflex Sight
red raptor? more like red sharpie
i just bought weapon pick 3 and the "Marksman Exakt Reflex Sight" did come with
Ok guys i searched like basically every video from famos YouTubers for a bigger bighorn sheep does anybody know if there is a bigger one then 174.10 maybe u have one pls let me know
Layton mission - Vualez: Late night with the dogs
So I got lucky my first two playthroughs with this mission. I was easily able to call in yotes from the observation tower near the lake both times. Looks like my luck ran dry this time. No yotes drinking at the lake or using the area at night. Any tips on checking this one off with no yotes using the lake?
i have found in my own experience with the mission i had a small pack that seemed to just spawn in from nowhere on the southwest side of the lake just up from the shore behind the trees
the tracks would always be there just appearing from nowhere each time i went back
i called one from the other side of the lake but after that they wouldnt come so i just kept following the tracks until i saw them and made sure they were still in the required area and took pot shots lol
i had to go back a few times
i think they must spawn in specfically for the mission, i dont have any normal need zones there, and these yotes dont act normally they just move off, run if you get to close etc, they never drink or rest etc
i jumped a couple on the way into the lake on my ATV. never saw them again
also - what are coyote drink times at Layton? I've found sources saying 23:00 - 00:30, and others saying 00:30 - 03:00. Anybody know for sure which is correct, or if they have multiple drink times? Thanks
How hard is it to hunt at medved at night without nvgs?
medved is actually slightly brighter at night than on other maps, so while no cakewalk, it is a bit easier than youd initially think
I have to wait till next week to get paid and then ill probably get the raining dlc in your opinion what should take priority like best dlc
Because i might have to pick and choose
Anybody have the old animal class charts from before the rework? Trying to explain it to a friend but Google is letting me down on visual aids.
Should i buy the Wild Goose Chase dlc or weapon pack 1?
I have only 3.99€ but dont know wich is better
I have evry other dlc
Weapon pack 1 unless you spend alot of time on Hirsch. The .22 rifle is really nice for small game and ducks
Or just save up for the new map pack
A Map costs 8€
When you dont get all the harvest conditions does the trophy score change at all
Like i know you get silver/bronze no matter what but does it show that on the trophy score?
The score doesnt change but the medals do
Oh thanks i found a like 377-. 440 reindeer or somthing i cant remember and i shot when it was to close and the zeroing was wrong so i hit spine
And i was so salty im going for a diamond reindeer and all i have found are some lvl 4s
But they have terrible trophy score
Idk what to do tbh the grass is so high im just not used to medved yk
Anybody else just have a bunch of their whitetails go missing after the steam update? I suddenly have like 4 out of the last 5 zones I've checked completely empty of deer
They all migrated to Mexico for the new map
Oh god
Yeah. Was just starting to hit my stride on **the grind TM **. And then the deer vanished. Sure hope it's just a bad day or something
Did you pop up in a tent next to the zone?
Isn't there a thing where animals don't render around a tent until you walk away then return
I have a question I accidentally created a new save on The Hunter and the old one is "gone". I read on the Steam forum that you can restore it, but I don't know how. Can someone help me there quickly, please
Where’s the best spots for gemsbok?
There is a great lake in the fever tree forest.
Which dlc is the 300 in
I believe....
Yukon
Yeah yukon
data!
So if I purchase Yukon is it free
Nope
it's one of the more expensive weapons in the game
and you have to unlock it
Costs 75k in-game cash
very worth it though
It’s the second most expensive item in the game, only beaten out by the 470
That sucks
The 470 is kinda junk. The 300 tho is INCREDIBLY useful
It annihilates bears and can drop bison in under 10 seconds if you hit a vital with the softpoint
Wait is the range master a brake action
Break-action
The m1 is great but the others aren't the best
Another quite useful weapon. Sadly overshadowed by the M1 and .303 but still can hold its own
Ye I dropped a Buffalo 150 meters away haert shot it dropped on the spot
With a 30 06?
.30-06 is not meant to be used on buffalo/bison
Possible
Well I didn't. Know at the time
U see I'm still kinda new
Like I recently. Shot my first skin varition
@last hemlock is there away I can look on cotw to prove it to u
Prove wut?
Did it die
Exactly
went down surprisingly fast too
So the game works on shot placement
Well I know
I mean I saw someone kill a kudu with a 223
But I've never has such luck with a 2 ten gauge slugs to the lungs
They run forever if I ehit them twice with it
Well use the ekers
I have the 300 now
Ye
.300 is only good for bears and anything bigger
Eckers destroys anything class-4
How rare is a dark skin variation on a gems bok
Not very
I hunt gems bok with my 30 06
I use the .300 on them since they're class-8 and idk if they're like moose
Moose, you need the .300
That’s an animal you CAN take down with .30-06 and get the highest medal on
Oh man, moose are TOUGH little (big?) fuckers
Look I have no problem with the 30 06 but a moose a is another mother fucker
You pretty much need the 300 or 338 to take down a moose
How can I unlock a 338
Rifle score
and if you have Parque, you can get a variant for free by doing a certain side mission
Lucky for you I hate soda!
No. Tents and tripods are where I had them last 4 runs through all those zones
@hidden basin wdym soda
So I just need rifle score to get it
Ye that is no problem
Which maps do you get free things from
Parque has 2, Medved has 1, Te Awaroa has 1
all are mission-related
oh, Cuatro has 1 too
Ok cool rhanks
People unfortunately have wildly different opinions on what is considered rare
but generally anything albino fits the bill
ah so theres like no official thing or whatever
most melanistics are rare as well
many piebalds are also rare (though some arent, like axis deer)
So my friend followed a tutorial on how to revert his mission progress now his game is broken it's like he started all over completely no lodges discovered no towers no guns no money
Nothing
Please help
Oh shit
ok, thanks. appreciate it
Well he probably clicked restart game stats so
No it was something to do with the missions file inside your EW/COTW folder in documents on your PC
we'd only be able to help if he backed up his previous save files somewhere
@hidden basin I shot a melanisitc rabbit is that rare
semi-rare
Yes
He didn't completely backed them up he only backed up the file the tutorial told him to mess with
He put it back in but it's still broken
that is problematic
Yeah you need all of the files for it to work properly
He did have them all
something's broken then
tip: if you're gonna mess with your save files, make sure you back up the ENTIRE save folder in case something goes wrong
Sigh great help your telling me things that he should of done before doing it
Okay
There's literally nothing anyone here can do
His file is gone from the sound of it.
So how much rifle score I need for 338
5400-something
He should have been smarter if your gonna be rude about something he did
It will tell you or just look it up
Ok
trying to make sure it doesnt happen again. unfortunately, its almost certain that there isnt anything we can do to help at this point
Why was he trying to back it up?
*why was he trying to restart
also cuz of the recent save file corruption issues, ive been backing up my save folder every time i close the game so the most i lose is one play session if anything does go wrong
He wanted to restart mission progress so we could do the missions at the same time
Idk why
But besides the point
theres rare cases of a save file getting corrupted upon the game crashing or something else
i dont think it'll happen to me, but im making the backups to guard against it just in case
Moving one file then putting it back in shouldn't corrupt your whole save game
Once I clicked on new game and thought I lost my guns
Oh ok
Mission progress, levels, and weapon scores are wiped
Trophy lodges are kept though
Populations are also reset
Can you still open your previous file
Not without going into the save folder and replacing the files
Ok
Progression, Map exploration, unlocks, and map populations are reset. Trophy lodges and taxidermized trophies are kept intact
One exception to that would be if your file corrupts badly enough to keep you from even getting to the menu
I had to manually delete everything and I lost my lodges/tax's
Yeah
Good. I’d much rather lose one session than all my playtime
so does anyone know how TF I'm supposed to send a video on a bug to support?
Even when compressed it's too big to attach to an email
the bug in question is none of the intro lines for animals have been playing since the dog dlc (such as there being a line on whitetail being bigger than blacktail but more skittish)
I totally forgot about those and I haven't gotten them for what feels like longer than that
I played after the hotfix for dog dlc and can confirm I have never heard those
I didn't know that was a thing until lyra pointed it out
yeah they haven't played at all since I had to nuke my file
What are they?
they're supposed to be bits of in-game info you get from the reserve warden on what to expect from an animal when you first examine a track
but they haven't been playing at all
Ohhhhhh
like on Parque for example, she'll say something about axis deer being called chital in India
Ok yeah I remember them
Turns out he had his save folder backed up when he puts it in it asks him something about steam cloud and replacing files
What does he do?
Don't let steam cloud overwrite
Mule deer max weight in lbs?
463
Thank you to who ever said the other day to try taking the 'fallow with lake in background' photo in two shots.
I took a picture of the deer months ago.
Took a picture of the water today a few times as I panned around, completed the missioN!
does anyone know how to fix progress after it got reset
Unless you’ve made a backup of your save files somewhere, there’s not really anything you can do
well that sucks
isnt it supposed to "swim" towards me?
and this is second time game crashes at same place
its been like few minutes, as I was waiting game crashed, again.
I clicked "send report" for you 🙂
wait what? 😄
On my PS4 I was playing the hunter call of the wild and I lost power in the middle of a game and All my progress was lost I mean everything all my trophy lodge mounts and all my saved harvest
i will have to note not to play in a storm then, that sucks
How does the drilling rifle work? Also, is the mosin a good gun?
What platform are u and mosin is the best class 3 rifle
PC
I think if u go into keybinds it will tell u I'm not on pc
Ok
By default you hold reload button to change between shotgun and rifle.
Which is R on PC
Did you check and see if it's really shallow there because because if it's really shallow they will stop
Any tips on improving stability on the game by ALOT? It crashed 10 times a day.
Is it random crashing or crashing in one specified part?
both.
I did try, I get knocked out
I know since it's crashed and everything you can't get it but next time it does it try to go behind it and stand behind it and it might float towards you after a little while they actually start chasing you around the lake trying to float towards you to clame them that might get it to float towards you
One where if i jump out of the waterfowl blind without exiting the normal way, it crashed.
Have you tried to verifying game files through steam or uninstalling it and reinstalling it (if your on PC)
I have verified the files, havent tried reinstalling it
I will later today after work try again, but it crashed twice at same place at that lake and just there. Any particular reason?
Since it's crashing randomly that's a good chance there's nothing wrong with your save file so that's good
I do not really know unless for some reason something that part of the lake in your files it just don't like
dang it 😄 its a good spot to hunt
I hope it does work though whenever you try it at least making the duck float towards you
ducky murder is kinda fun
When i uninstall and reinstall, will everything be saved and normal? (Nothing deleted)
Save data is stored independently of the actual game files, so your save files should not be affected
If you’re worried, you can always make a backup of the save data
yes
?
Nice!
so i figured out how to see if zones are overlapped or not
you can see the other icon beneath the first icon if you look closely
so its workin wooooooooo
Hell yeah you're welcome I'm very glad it fixed it
Whens the new map come out?
unconfirmed yet, but definitely this month
Fuckkkk any idea of the price
Almost certainly the standard DLC map price of $8 USD
Fair enough
lol it was a joke because the pic had the send report button XD
XD good one
Where’s a good turkey location on silver?
At the top! (Te Awora) did I mess up and have to do this for quest later? ( I had to do it twice on SRP) I triggered some dialogue near the top.
Nope. You're good
its a great spot to put a tent and fling off with atvs lol
Stunning desktop photo!
Any forest at night or pasture during the day. They are very common just grab the need zones
How can I change the camera perspective on pc?
They drink just like everything else, so lakes during drink times. Pretty much all the lakes have at least some turkeys on them. I find alot of them walking through open meadows also during feeding times.
Hello. I'm not sure if it is a know bug, but has anyone else experienced the diamond wolf you get at the mission in Cuatro Colinas not appearing in the hunter profile? The fantasma wolf was my first diamond but when I checked the information under my hunter profile in the menu, it still said 0 diamonds.
Mission diamonds are not counted towards the profile diamond count
Oh I did not know that. Thanks!
just wonder. if you have a sugestion to the game. how do you go forword whit that. is there a sugestion chatt or so?
They do surveys every now and then
Where the heck is the target for that circle near the main lodge on Parque?
ahh ok. i guess i hafto wait for one of those. am just super annoyed by the dog pushes you arround when you are trying to mark somthing. i have lost so manny dicent animals that way
Would putting turkey decoys at different lakes help?
what callers can i use for the bison?
Check the callers in the shop. It will tell you which animal(s) each caller works on
Bison don't have callers.
Nevermind then
so there is notting that works for them atm i guess
am pritty new to the game so sry for noob questions :D
All good
However, there are ways to potentially get a better shot on them
One is to do the .22 stop trick
yeah. but i was hoping for geting a group of them and not one by one. and hopfully finde a more dicent size
A .22LR bullet that lands near an animal (not ON them) will spook them enough to make them go alert (they will stop and check their surroundings), but not enough to make them flee
It’s a common trick that people use to stop a trotting animal to give them a window to make a good shot
if you have the "Who's Deer?" skill from the Ambusher tree, red deer caller can work on them.
am only level 19 so i guess i havent unlocked for that one or i cant afford that one atm or so
Yeah you get that one at lvl 27
wait wot, really?
that's amazing actually
Yeah it's a fun skill
the deer grunt caller will work on jackrabbits too
on Layton at least
The “who’s deer” skill gives a random chance of a caller attracting an animal that it normally doesn’t attract
Red deer caller - euro bison
Deer grunt caller - jackrabbits, elk
Moose caller - blacktail, reindeer
Elk caller - whitetail, musk deer
just to list a few
Haven't tried it
just finished Parque again though so once I get some cash + tents/tripods I'll be off to Yukon, so I can try it then
hecc
I went to this steam guide that I had seen before about the hidden caller animals
and i saw you on the comments Lyra~
it does seem to be just euro bison
Speaking of guides, anyone else notice that the one guide that had all the fur types + max score + need zone times got deleted?
allways so fun when you get a animal down to 25% and it despawns
Don't take 300+ meter shots until the next update.
not sure what distance it was on
Probably was out of a safe range then
yeah. it was some distance. but not sure how far. for some reasond i dont get the distance up whit my binos or scope
i have the night binos. but i was to lazzy to change and i dont have room on the hot bar :P
NV binos do have a rangefinder
The default binoculars do not have a built-in rangefinder. There is a dedicated rangefinder with lower zoom that you unlock at level 12, as well as a pair of binos with a built-in rangefinder at level 27. The NV binos from the high-tech pack also have a rangefinder built in
whats the best gun to upgrade from to shoot 8-9 class from the rifle
.300 is best thing for both 8-9
perf ty!
is cotw crashing frequently on steam? or is it just me
turkey decoys don't do much in my experience with them. they used to occasionally work before the dog hotfix, but really don't seem to anymore. the crow caller is really all you need though
I crashed once yesterday but none at all today
how rare are mythicals
fairly rare, but on mtn lions lvl 8 seems so common
this is a black bear i just spotted
no.
i got it, was only a silver but still pretty cool considering how new i am lol
it should make gold, did you mess up the shot or use wrong caliber?
messed up the shot i had to shoot it 3 times, first one was a flesh shot, im still learning xd
IK IK lol i was just so excited haha
yeah any more shots than 2 fails the harvest check
if you have the DLC that gives you the Hudzik muzzleloader, use that thing to teach yourself to not shoot too many times
one bullet + slow reload time
hmm i dont think i do but i'll look into it
first shot was flesh and i had to track it a ways
didnt want it to get away again ig lo
So the gf is apparently having a lot of trouble finding wolves in a region in Cuatro
Says she's trying the drink times at lakes and can't see any
Around La Curva del Cazador, for a mission
Any pointers?
ugh that map is so cute
game being unstable again... fuck
Your GPU is smoking something good
Yeah that's def your computer having issues
”electrical fires are nice”

but yeah that is definitely a computer problem
turn offffff your pc
Oh wow. So that's how they made the movie Avatar? Just light your GPU on fire and let her rip!
So i put rice in my pc because people said it would work and now its on fire...
you have to water the rice
soy sauce also helps
Yee lol it's fine
Mine runs at 70 75
163°F, huh. Seems cool
mine ran at 3126°C for about 2 seconds before it melted itself. Now i have a rice smelling steamy puddle of computer bits.
Nice.
i just looked at your name and ive seen you on srd like every day
I need pics
pics of the melted computer bits would suffice
though #🦝︴off-topic would probably be better for that
okay lemme get a google pic
Regarding drink zones, does the same animal use the same drink zone every drink time even if they have 2 drink times per day?
I believe they CAN have different drink zones for their, say, morning and evening drink times, but they will always be in the same zone at a given time
I thought they all where non typical or I'm confused one does it say on the harvest screen?
Oki
You mean Mythical?
Cuz that’s a level 8 red deer
That's what I was thinking then they disappeared
Do you have to be a specific LVL to find Dimond?
Nope
@tranquil tundra thank you
what are your best turkey hunting areas(either map)?
no. you do, however, need to know where and when to look
guys
how do I shoot an animal from 300m?
do I need to set my weapon's long range zero perk to 300m?
all bullets drop in front of the animal
Go 300m from animal and shoot them? If you're without zeroing, go try in the Hirsch range what is the drop in your weapon
Default zero is 150m for most rifles so you need to aim higher to hit them.
it's a sidequest in Cuatro Calinas, I have been trying for months to geet it
Spend some time in Hirsch range to get the drop right
aim higher, you mean fire ABOVE the animal?
Yes. But how high depends on the distance. And that you can easily figure out at the Hirsch range. You have long range options there to test it out.
ok
can yoou have detailed stats with the Rangefinder as with the default binos?
mine only shows distance, not animal level etc.
I've never actually used the rangefinder in the game. I've just skipped it and saved to the rangefinder binos right away 😄
oooh
Rangefinders only show distance. To see more detailed info, you need the spotting knowledge skill (ambusher skill tree)
ok
I don't think any animals drink twice per day. They either drink at the main time or the secondary time as far as I'm aware
I'd also like to know this
I always thought they went from drink zone to drink zone given the duration of their drink time
moving in a set pattern
or do animals move at random and stop at a rest/drink/feed zone when the time is right?
They are always either at a zone or migrating to their next zone
I mean, I assume all animals are confined to certain areas (unless they go off-reserve)
Unless a predator scared them off ofc
🙂
Do need zones stay the same daily?
Only way your need zones really change is if you delete by putting too much hunting pressure on it.
is there a way to create new account to play with friend? I want to start from scratch with friend shooting those airsoft guns you have starting with
penetrating leafs at best
some how I broke my dialogue audio? worked earlier, now only the subtitles pop up. -.- reset and everything.
Report that one
dialogue's been behaving a bit weirdly for me too ever since the dog DLC, in that certain lines aren't playing at all
Okay before I actually start on Yukon, how soon will I have to worry about wolves?
Not very
I rarely encounter wolves so id say you are pretty safe
👍🏼
both types of buffalo were surprisingly more scared of the ATV than they hated me so that honestly has me feeling a bit more confident
What about bison
Bison only aggro when shot, or if they realize you're there within a certain distance
something I actually like doing if I botch a shot on one and it runs is briefly turning the ATV on
because that makes them aggro
Wolves aggro sometimes randomly or if you shoot the alpha male of the pack
free aggro?
so like buffalo
and the whole "alpha pair" term is actually outdated
Since i dont have yukon fully explored, imma find a cliff and launch myself with the atv
on vurhunga i launched myself 2km ish
fall damage exists in this game btw
medkits...
So do medkits
Those won't help you if the damage taken exceeds your health
No they will
I've been OHKO'd by getting flung off the ATV before
damage doesnt insta kill
If you medkit before your health reaches zero, you’re totally fine
granted I ended up getting flung quite a bit both times
Can female Chamois be diamond?
afaik the only female animals that can make diamond are gemsbok
And all rabbits and hares
For them females are bigger and make diamonds. Don't think males even can make it
That does not match up with what I've seen in-game tbh, particularly with European rabbits
Female chamois can be gold though
with rabbits I'm lucky if I see a female that has a solid 1 for a score estimate
So why not diamond?
Guess their horns don't grow big enough
That sucks. I just got a level 4 melanistic female that’s like less than 2 points from diamond. Wish they could push up.
On rabbits, males make diamond.
On hares, females do
Nah, the fact that it’s rare already gives it the novelty boost
that'd possibly take away from the value of super-rares
how so?
I've been looking for Red deer on Hirschfelden for like 1-1:30 Hours now, and haven't found anything at lakes or anywhere else nothing at the lakes at their drink times or any red deer on their feeding times and I also had that problem on the Leviathan lake mission with the coyotes on layton because there are just no coyotes spawning in. Is there a possible explanation for this issue?
Uh, I have to shoot a red deer bull for some woman
It needs to be atleast a bronze
For a story mission
ah
Maybe not looking in the right spots
The coyotes are gonna be difficult as fuck to spot too
Yeah, but I've been trying to get one since march and then just gave up
You have night vision binos?
yeah
I've basically been at the north west corner of the map
If you mean Bohndorf canyon, just hang around the lake inside the canyon.
I've been doing that on both of the times when they drink and haven't even received a call or I havent even seen any tracks
Well, that doesnt count for the mission im trying to do
oh that mission
Huh?
there's another lake relatively near a lookout point in that region, I forget which subregion it's in exactly but that's one of my go-to spots for red deer
Oh, ok
Might look there later
I dont think there are any more lakes there that I havent checked out except one directly next to one
There's an invisible lake?
the area in green is a fairly populated rest zone
oh, ok
Thanks
that backside of the canyon is pretty good for em
tru
I'll take my .44 with me
but yeah that one lake that looks a bit like an upright rectangle is the one I was talking about
Yeah, that's the only lake I havent checked out
Thanks
Is a lucistic caribou rare
yes
So it's good thing that i tax it
ye~
can't currently, in the middle of uni class
A what
Yeah, I shot one there but now I have to find 5 droppings of red deer in the Bohndorf Canyon, where I dont have any
so is there any way to do the mission then?
There's one giant herd in that area. Finding them can be a little difficult though
Is there one on every map or just on yours?
Of the three times I've restarted there's always been one
restarted?
Started a fresh game
pick different times of day to drive the ATV around
you'll find one eventually
and it doesn't have to be 5 unique deer either
I've looked at almost every time of the day for red deer there
so I can just scare around one and collect it's poop?
Ok, I'll look for some next morning, thank you
Ive had terrible luck in that canyon with red deer and boar. It took me like 2 weeks straight just to complete that one boar challenge that's there. Had to catch them traveling between zones. I've never found the red deer drinking in that canyon lake, onle roe deer lol.
There's a fox and roe deer that rest side by side near there and im always afraid ill accidentally shoot one of them. So that whole areas off limits for fox and roe deer for me xD.
How much further typically can diamond animals sense you?
hey my game just keeps chrashing when i try to launch it what should i do? please help
thx
almost did all of them exept delete the game and i dont rly want to do that
I’m guessing you’re afraid of losing progress?
Btw, save data is stored independently of the actual game files
So if you delete the game, it doesn’t delete your save files, at least to my knowledge
@midnight sparrow
oh i dident know that
Yeah the save data and game files aren’t even in the same directory of your PC file system
I may just be dumb but I'm trying to see what level my weapon abilities are at, where do I go to see that?
I never thought to look in the codex
Maybe I'm not seeing it right....shouldn't there be a place that says what each weapon type's level is at?
you want the profile card
bottom right
Okay...I see it....I was just confused because I was expecting something to say ie "Level 5" etc
Thanks
You're a level 6 Bullet Caster/Ranger
One more level to unlock magic missile
SRP and Layton both have some pretty gnarly cliffs. I think I caught like 2,000 feet of air on SRP once
I hit ground and it launched me laterally off the quad over a mile
I died, but I died grinning
I don't remember. been a half a year or so. i think it was maybe by that observation tower and pond on the southeast corner of the map, but like i say i can't remember
on srp?
this?
sorry. i meant southwest, but i'm a couple beers into my friday. the observation tower at the far lower left has a nice cliff. there are also plenty of other good places to launch around the "spine" of SRP in the middle section of the map
im climbing Mt.Silverridge rn
and tenting it
how do i get steam to let me take screenshots ingame with F12?
is it not automatically doing the thing?
while ingame, can you do shift-tab to open the overlay?
Yeah it works
right click steam from your taskbar, go to settings, then to ingame
make sure steam overlay is on
(and also have it so it saves an uncompressed copy of the screenshots)
where do i find this?
Steam settings, not game settings
or right clicking the steam icon here
next step?
settings from those popup menus, then the screenshot I posted a bit earlier
are your multi hosted maps and sp map the same?
there's an albino on my MP and no albino on mp SP
your own hosted map?
yes
interesting
well, im going to look for him once i clear pressure
bruh
i think a lvl 9 ran by me whilst i was talking. LVL 8 :(
oof
Anybody have any whitetail feed zone maps?
One of my friends was playing and said he got a warning for wounding and not killing too many animals? Is this a thing?
i dont think so
then again, why would people shoot an animal and run off
if you can, show us a screenshot
I unfortunately don't have a screenshot, I'm going to ask him to take one if it does it again. I have a feeling his game just bugged out or something.
i dont think bugs do that
I mean, I think one of my older games had something like that? But I've never seen it in cotw
what weapon should i use to hunt the eurasian lynx?
Yeah that gun is amazing I use it for most of my 4 - 7 class hunting too
.243, Mosin, air rifle, and .30-30 are my recommended (best combo imo is the air rifle and your choice of the other three)
This is coming from someone who has killed almost 1000 total Eurasian lynx btw
(Yes, you read that number correctly)
I'm tempted to get the map see if I can get a rare ahaha 😆
Mosin has bigtime penetration problems from what I recall. Like just barely breaking the skin on roe deer from 150 yards out I've heard
Mosin is broken atm, game says deadly penetration yet yeah I was having issues beyond effective range. I wouldnt say it couldnt break skin, but you needed broadside to reach anything. The air rifle is really fun, does anyone know if its sound spook range is 200 meters or 150 meters?
how does one update nvidia?
Go to their website, and check your driver version. I think it has an auto-detect script that will run if you click on it
ok cool ty
Hello guys I was level 23 I pressed new game I didn’t know 😂 now I have to start over I’m in Xbox is there anyways I can get my save back??
Ping me if u reply
I kept my trophy’s and my guns unlocked that I bought but my level and xp and stuff has gone so I have to restart is there anyway I can get my save back
Sadly no.
Wich weapon would you recommend to me to shoot mule deer
last time i remember COTW doesn't have messages with story characters
If you have the Smoking barrels dlc then the Garand has controlable recoil and great stopping power
I personally prefer the .303 for mulies. Seems like I'm always shooting at them from 250m. With the Argus on it, it's one of the better long range guns in the game
7mm or if you have the dlc the m1
Sika drink zone times and best lakes?
~50m actually
can lv4 gemsbok make diamond at all?
I've seen a couple with high estimate above the req
same
i saw a lvl 4 with not even max estimate, and 30ish over diamond on score estimate
level 4 female can make diamond
gotcha, thanks~
why doesnt auto walk work for ATVs?
My guess is no the same buttons
So if im 180xp away from lvl 60, would a diamond animal make me lvl 60?
At most you’ll need to kill two animals of pretty much any size
whyat should i spend my skill point on
Depends on what you have and what you are prioritizing
where can i report hackers
Im hunting on silver ridge and need help finding good spots for turkeys?
They're nearly everywhere and the exact locations are pretty random @vast gale
@sour basin ok thx!!
If you have an atv just drive the roads and keep an eye out for flying things, also pick up any need zones by the roads. Silver ridge has really nice roads.
hello!
I joeined in this game today!
I dont know how can i run.
I think L.Shift is the true botton but it doesnt work :/
try keybinding it to something else
👍
Was the render distance alot further before this bug or always around the same? Seems so redundant to have areas i can see for over a mile but really not past 430yd
Depends on elevation
I get that but it never rendered to like 1000m or anything before?
Nah I'm old school. Sp on console
God I wish
Right lol just been walking around SRP alot of missed opportunities haha
Just for scouting would be nice
I would love to spot and stock
Truly the render distance is the only issue i majorly have with the game
What about it?
358 is max score for gemsbok innit?
Yes
but this gal is not max weight
Females have a higher max score and a lower max weight than males
oh
blinks
wao
and I mean
I stalked a drinking spot, there were lots of gemsbok of all diff levels and estimates
on a mp server
Males also have a max trophy rating of 342, which essentially means they have to be like 2kg under max weight to make diamond
I have a max weight max score male (240kg, 342 trophy rating)
what are the odds
Male level 5 gemsbok are infamous trolls
Female level 5’s, however, are guaranteed to be at or just below max weight
Iirc females make diamond at around 197kg or so (gemsbok are not truracs so their trophy score is much more closely linked to weight)
Level 4 females make diamond more often than you’d initially think
I've seen a lot of lv4 females with estimates going well into diamond
but they always seem to score at the bottom of the estimate
I guess I don't need to worry about that anymore~
damn dude I'm shaking
I was so happy, then so worried, and now really relieved
For a little bit of perspective, here’s my level 4 diamond female
qt~
And another comparison: the max weight max score male (remember that males have a lower max score than females)
Whats a good all around gun /rifle to use ? Mainly for deer-elk
So like, class 4-8?
Yes
There’s four I’d recommend for that:
-M1
-7mm
-.303
-Eckers .30-06
Pick your favorite
Be warned though that all will struggle against moose and sometimes elk
The m1 can be bought in the shooting barrels pack correct?
Smoking barrels pack
Eckers comes in weapon pack 3.
.303 comes with te awaroa.
7mm is a base game weapon and is also class 4-9
Ok thank you alot !!
The best weapon for bears, moose, and elk is the .300 canning magnum, which is unlocked when you buy the Yukon valley DLC map
The runner-up for that is the Rangemaster 338, which, like the 7mm, is a base game weapon
Yeah ive used the 338 for moose but still wanna get a all around gun for sure tho thx!!
Now, the 7mm is more of a jack of all trades weapon. It’s one of two rifles that is class 4-9 (the other being the .45-70)
Do u think the m1 will good for the new map ?
If anything it might be TOO powerful for all but the whitetail and mule deer
The new map looks like it’s gonna focus a lot on class 1-3 animals
Ya what class is the sheep ?
4
So m1 will work on bighorns, whitetail, and mule deer on the new map
It’ll be overpowered for anything else from what I can tell
Thanks what gun do u use for mountain lions?
Mtn lions are class 5, so all of the class 4-8 and 4-9 rifles will work well on them
Most people use either M1 or .303
Great thx !
👌
Uncommon
So must I tax it
you don't have to tax everything
or anything for that matter
but I would keep it if it looks nice
It does look nice
yeah you're not required to tax anything
Just so you're aware, I recall someone previously getting warned for spacing out what they were saying like that
Hey guys, today my game suddenly started freezing and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. I've tried updating my nvidia drivers, reinstalling the game, verifying the game files and resetting the game's settings & save files.
Interestingly enough the game always freezes at the exact same moment during the first loading screen of the game
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I've been playing the game for basically years without any issues
Corrupted save.
Same thing happened to me a while ago.
Not even outright deleting the save file worked?
I renamed the 'Avalanche Studios' folder in documents to something else
That should have removed them, right?
so the freshly-generated one didn't work?
because if that's the case, you'll probably want to email support
Unfortunately not, game still froze at exactly the same point
Good point, will do
Thanks!
animal awareness states are basically:
Calm - self-explanatory
Nervous - calls may or may not work. Animal will react faster to things. They'll be in this state for a while after being spooked, or if they smell you but not enough to spook.
Attentive - might actually be a bit more responsive to calls, but they're starting to figure out something's up.
Alert - they def know something is up. Either stop moving for a while if you're stalking them, or aim fast if the wind turned against you.
Alarmed - animal is about to flee.
Fleeing - self-explanatory.
Aggressive - you'd better hope it drops fast if you shot it, or get up the nearest hunting stand/treestand/tripod, because whatever it is is on their way to either bulldoze you or take a bite out of you.
Defensive - no idea what this one means, but it equates to "fleeing" in birds
By some miracle I managed to fix the issue I just asked about by disabling the Te Awaroa dlc. Apparently leaving the game with that reserve opened caused a crash when loading the main menu.
This seems like a pretty serious issue if more people are experiencing it. There's really no way to know the cause of this without debugging trial and error.
Should this be forwarded to the dev team in some way?
Ah, thanks. Will do
Side note: when an animal is nervous, they may also be hesitant to return to their original zone
generally after an animal flees and turns nervous, they will usually grab the closest available need zone for their current schedule. Once they calm down they can decide to return to their original zone
or turkeys might sometimes charge you
in defensive
yeah birds use defensive for fleeing
Perhaps “defensive” refers to the instinct to defend themselves
Whereas “aggressive” means they want you dead
but they just flee
Which kinda equates to defending themselves and maybe the flock
Anybody know the actual radius for need zones? Is it 150m?
my experience has been about 100m
max for jackal?
9
nvm
I always thought it was 100 too, but I have WT at Layton drinking over 100m from the need zone icon so it has to be bigger than that
220 is safe
So I checked the bullet drop on the .44 Panther using the 75m zero. Here's what I came up with
50m - flat
100m - 6"
150m - 6"
200m - approx 30-36"
I think the shooting range might have glitched out. If someone gets a chance to check it would be nice to compare notes
