Any good spots for elk on silver ridge?
The open plains when they're eating. North half of map I found alot
where are whitetail hotspots guys ??
Bodies of water at drink time
bodies ? @toxic bane
so if im making 3 white bars animals cant hear me, but 1 red bar, animals can hear me?
on the sound thingy
More bars (especially more red bars) = animals can hear you from further away
yesm
They have trouble hearing one or two white bars
Yes, only if you’re pretty close tho
not the only places to find them, but good places to start looking for elk during feed/rest times. The gigantic meadow with the star in it is probably your best bet. I call it the fairway. Pay extra attention to the tree line around it. You'll find alot of feed/rest zones either in little side meadows or just inside the trees off the main meadow
anyone having their rangefinder not displaying the right range?
I skipped it so I don't know
Mine works fine
Is it like a couple yards/m off or a couple of hundred
a couple hundred depending on the range
it seems like its picking up the range above it
Sometimes there may be an obstacle that hasn’t rendered in, other times you may be looking at the ground in front of you
animal 300m out (map) looks at animal with binocs damn, why is he 340m away?
Inclines can also make a difference
The map only shows the horizontal distance to the point you’ve picked
Hmmmmm
rangefinders are primitive tools
Well, with a target that big, the extra 40m of distance is not really gonna make a difference as to where you aim
You sure you had the binos dialed in on the caribou and not the tree behind him?
yes
Hey what the new map coming out I need to know pls
Soon
probably 2 weeks
Likely within the next 2-3 weeks
I’m gonna call it peppa pig and keep it in my lodge
also I checked on every website I could and it says it’s a 0.05 or 0.03 percent spawn for pink pigs
Sometimes the animals hitboxes are weird, aiming a bit lower seems to help.
Does anyone know if using harlequin duck decoys can attract mallards in some capacity?
Harlequin decoys only work for harlequin ducks
you need mallard decoys if you want mallards
The game says that, but is it true in practice I mean.
kind of hard to tell anything with ducks rn since their spawning is borked
I've gotten every plumage type but have been grinding them for a diamond. Plinking them at 200 meters with a .22 is getting old and none of them are ever near the shore. I'm getting tons of golds but I've only seen like 4 diamond potential ducks
I think for them to land near you you need decoys
though that doesn't always work, particularly with harlequin ducks
speaking of Yukon, anyone have any decent wolf spots?
Mallard decoys increase attraction chance for mallards only. Same with teal decoys and harley decoys
Darn, was hoping there'd be a similar effect to like the calls where sometimes it attracts other species
Can somebody report that spam from england
@crystal rampart Sorry man
Done
If my zone is deleted due to hunt pressure, will it come back if hunt pressure is gone?
yes, but it might move
Thanks
What's the best shotgun for big game animals?
.470 nitro blazer
10ga is the only shotgun that can go up to class 9 (not including the drilling rifle, since that class 9 ammo is rifle ammo)
I want to buy the 10ga for bison hunting, do you think it'll be any good for it?
@hidden basin sorry for ping just want to know before I buy it
Tyms! Have a nice day.
do wolves spook animals like pumas do or no?
Oh yeah one last question, is the drilling better then the 10ga or is the 10ga better?
10ga will definitely kill bison
slugs ofc
you can quickly put two shots in them even
and heart shots are doable from the front
hecc, should've answered here~
Here
thats just not true lol
literally every female pig is pink
or black spots
its the common fur type for them
for males, its rare
Can I bring all my data from my ps4 to my ps5, with all the maps and stuff too?
possibly
Does anyone know how
to what
What exactly do I need to know about the three mission-specific wolves on Cuatro?
Fantasma and Sombra are guaranteed diamonds, Ogro ranges from level 6-9.
Fantasma is about halfway through the story missions, Ogro is in the penultimate story mission, Sombra is at the end of Baden's side mission chain.
All are very aggressive and WILL try to kill you
👍🏼
though I also have to ask
how long/short is Cuatro's story
because Yukon felt very short
for reference, I'm on the missing goat mission
medium length iirc
What is the range that animals are scared by a rifle shot?
200m
Okie dokie thank you I'm trying to shoot some white tail without scaring ducks
Shoot the ducks first if you can, .22LR has a reduced spook radius
Nice
Now let's see if we can hit a duck and low light conditions in the rain at 220 yd
Do you have the Argus?
Yes can't hit shit with it
Wooo
I managed to get into 165 yards which is the longest zero
So I should have no problem
Nice
You mighr have to transform these but
using the argus and the 150m zero, the first holdover dot's about 225, second's about 270, third one's about 310, and the fat part of the bottom crosshair is dead on at 350
Duck dead
Nice~
And deer came back and other one is dead
And 150m/165yrd zero the second Dot is right around 300 yd and 2nd is right at 400 give or take 5 yd with the Hyperion
Longest recorded shot for me on a duck is 397 yd or 363
M
Nicenice
I don't know why for whatever reason even knowing where the bullets going to be I cannot hit a damn thing with the argus
I mean I was failing at hitting deer
At longer ranges
zeroed properly?
So I pretty much only use the Argus for coyote and fox hunting and as a spotting scope lol
Yeah I go to the target range and it's right where it's supposed to be
I just have for whatever reason very bad issues of judging where it's supposed to be past the zeros
Yes I zero it to where it's supposed to be and everything I just have issues hitting stuff
Yes I can hit just about anything with a 7 mm with the Hyperion at any distance I fail with the Argus
FWIW - since the last update, it seems like it's more like 300-350m
So yeah I think it's just where I have spent so much time with the Hyperion I have everything memorized
Muscle memory can be a bitch
I got to around 300 away from the duckies before shooting and they didn't fly away so
Yup
was that with the .22 I'm guessing? I think the bigger rifles have a larger spook radius now
7mm I shot the deer
After I was around 200 away from the deer that came back and shot the 22 twice to kill a duck and didn't spook the deer to
So roughly 200 is safe with the 22 it seems
Do coyotes drink I swear the fuckers never drink but do they actually drink has people seen them and drink zones and possibly where
And what is the best time
Nvm they are just assholes
north side of Cheelah lake, 00:00-3:00 iirc
there's a guranteed group of like 5
that's where I got my diamond
The one that looks like a rectangle
there's a hunting stand there
iirc it's the lake that was specified for one of the first side missions, where you had to down a deer at night
Do you still get skill points if your at level 60?
no
Ok thanks
thanks for the ping :)
Does anybody have tips for these "Create Hunting pressure" missions on Hirschfelden? Usually if I do them I run around shooting like 10 animals without the mission being completed
Try to shoot 3-4 animals in a single spot
You don't want hunting pressure spread around the area, just a single point with high tier pressure
Oh, yeah I thought about that being the reason, thanks though
Does that also count when I use Tree stands, tripods or hunting towers?
It would have to be 4x the amount of animals, cuz hunting structures reduce generated pressure by 75%
If you're trying to complete a hunting pressure mission, I would heavily suggest not using one of those~
Or a bow, for that matter
Does finding need zones change the animal population, or is it just a way for you to know where they will be at X time?
the latter
Oh, ok
so, deleting a need zone, does not decrease the animal count, but they will instead be in another location
Yeah, I believe the animals at the need zones will just have another need zone in the area
thanks
correct. they will usually populate a new need zone somewhere in the general area, but not always. sometimes they pop up on the far side of the map
Likely next sale will be the steam summer sale, whenever that is
What the best rifle for 1-3 tier animals?
Class 1: .22LR
Class 2-3: .243
^^^
Thank you
do ibex function like WT in that you have to wipe entire herds or else they turn into female-only zones?
I've never seen WT function like that tbh
I've heard of it happening to people in here
Where do I find Red deer on Hirschfelden outside of Rotwald?
red rectangles are some of the spots I use
the one in Rinderland is also a good bison spot
If there's where I've gotten like my top three biggest Red deer including one diamond
I got my first gold my biggest gold in my diamond up there I like up there
Agree Kingfisher, pretty much the best "bulls only" area up there around the delta/isles.
that one little island that looks like an upside-down boot has a few sandbar-esque crossings that's got some sole stags
as well as quite a few boars
no joke, I can set up a tripod on the easternmost one and net like 15 boar in one night
with a bow ofc since a rifle would delete zones
Oooo
I reset my population then White-Tail disappeared I've checked every track and walked around the map multiple times. Do yall know why?
Lol
Try reinstalling.
Okay will do
soooooooo question for anyone who knows the answer to this-i shot a elk on layton with a 7.62 round and harvested said elk after dropping it almost immediately.....and on the harvest thing it says the round used was invalid.....so my question is this-Is 7.62 now a invalid round to use on elk??? or is this a bug?
huh...odd shows elk icon on the mosin ammo
unless there is a species of elk that is class 7
that's a red deer
Thanks I'll make sure I'll check them out since I seem to never find stags in Rotwald
That's very weird did you kill it with a heart shot or spine or how did you drop it?
Moisin isn't cleared for class 8
I thought it was 3-8
how does one get an animal respawn quickly
3-7 :(
Oh it is 3-7
Sleep a couple of days I think or sleep one whole day and restart the game like exit the game and start it back up sleeping a couple days three to five is a good way
It just costs lot moneys
sleep back in time?
Yes set the clock back 1 minute and you will fast Forward 23 hours and 59 minutes
In game
damn
You can't go back in time
why ami getting no lvl 9 mtn lion respawns..
I have only ever seen like one or two eights on silver peak if that's where you are
I have gotten two trolls on parquet Fernando
38.90 and 38.60
f
Took me a week and a half real lifetime to get the 38.90 one from when I first seen him to when I killed him
mule deer drink time on srp?
9-10 am
single lung shot dropped it(only ran about 100 or so meters before goin down)
just annoyed that my mosin isnt cleared for class 8s ...as i use to use my mosin all the damn time on rosies on layton before the rework of class system
I wasn't even around for the old system but I guess the .270 used to be fine for class 2
...now there are missions on both Layton and Hirsch that guarantee fail the harvest check.
yea the 270 use to be the base game "mosin" so to speak back in the day
rocky elk feed time?
5 to 17 iirc
thanks
max for roosevelt elk?
weight
also, why cant you host a map, leave, and shoot all the trophies on former you map, then go to SP and shoot the same ones
dupe exploit?????????
1,102 lb 500kg
alr thanks
Is it possible to land a shot on Ogro before he notices you if you're stealthy enough? if so I might just go at him with the hudzik
when is new map coming out
No, he knows you’re there from the start
shit
If you’re asking that question, it probably means it has not been announced yet
well, at least according to that video he doesn't leave that little field...
Or the M1
Ogro's the one that has a chance of being a lower level than 9, right?
because I think I know why
in that if you shoot right as he charges, very good chance you hit the skull
Ogro is the only one of the three that is not a guaranteed diamond
my orgo was pretty small
i was able to sort of sneak up on him, he as agro'd but didnt seem to be aware i was there and move before i got a shot off
what is a troll? I see it referenced a lot, but have not understood what it is
A troll is a max level animal that does not score diamond with all checks passed. A semi-common example is a level 9 puma that scores 38.9 (diamond trophy rating for puma is 39)
why does that happen?
RNGesus decides you don’t get a diamond
That’s all
Some animals are more prone to trolling than others tho. The three most infamous are male gemsbok, reindeer/caribou, and feral goats
ok cool
i have that
I’ve got a 38.98 puma
oh god
another thing, what can you do with a diamond? display it in troohpy lodge? whats the difference in the lodge if you put a diamond vs a "diamond scoring" animal , meaning same score as diamond, but that you messed up the shot or something
It displays the medal as well
So if you mess up the shot, the medal will show a gold rather than a diamond
makes sense
yes...........
thanks
I've been wondering lately. Is there any special rewards for completing all story or side missions on maps? I have gotten mixed reports and most of them are not on the maps I own.
In some maps you get special skins for weapons
Or mission spawns a special animal
Don't want to spoil the animals but in general
Are there any of these special skins and stuff on Layton, Hirsch, Yukon, Silver ridge?
Hirsch has a rare and a diamond in side missions, layton has 3 diamonds in side missions, as for yukon and srp idk, so that's it
okay thanks
Are the quick kill side missions on Layton do-able, since theres no more quick kill bonus?
havent tested it out, but I am pretty sure that any kind of kill would count quick or not. Tho I would recommend still trying to get that insta-drop. I think i did one of these on yukon with the new system and it still counted.
Gotcha, only thing I dont like about the new system is my .243 poly moose heart shots dont get good score lol
Quick kill bonus still exists
It's not a necessary anymore but it still exists it's not the funnest trying to get either sometimes with bigger animals
Quit kill bonuses is the only way you get a perfect session score
Along with other things but
.243 is only up to class 6, moose are class 8; you won't get the full score on moose until you get a class 8 weapon
I really like what they did with the quick kill and classes though. It makes it a lot better than finding a diamond and messing up its score due to some other animal unrelated to it that you failed to find.
But I do wish that lower caliber guns could still keep integrity if a vital was hit and the quick kill didn't reach 0 percent. It'd add a bit of a risk for using smaller calibers but still discourage blasting everything with a .300
Dear EW,
I'm very excited for the new map, but I do have to say I am disappointed with the amount of big game species. First off, I'm not a huge fan of adding bighorn when we could have desert sheep instead. Second of all, I'm very, very upset that there are only 3 big game species are they are all reused! When I heard the map was going to be Mexico I was excited to hopefully see desert bighorn, possibly elk, but I really wanted barbary sheep (aoudad). I really thought we were going to get barbary sheep and I feel really let down that we didn't. If by any chance, you could add barbary sheep for me and the other's requesting it, I think our community would really appreciate it. With that said, I am very excited for the new map and being able to hunt whitetail, pheasant, and bobcat! Keep up the good work! Love the game.
how can i fix that
Most common crash right now is getting your dog to track something
If your dog is out, I recommend just putting it in the kennel for now. I haven't gotten a crash since.
How many diamonds can be on a single map at one time?
I think it is random, papa. But there's always at least one I think, not of every species though. Just through sheer chance.
Randomly generated, but there’s usually at least one somewhere on the map
It started crashing randomly again a couple weeks ago. No idea why, and I don't think there's a fix. It started the same day a client update from Steam downloaded, so it might be related
I have a workstation GPU that uses an OLD driver. Hasn't updated in at least 3 years that I know of and I'm still having the crash issues
Started almost immediately after the Steam client update
I haven't had any crashes since Steam update, on an AMD machine
Try verifying game files and see if that does anything
So you know the dogs right?
yea
Isn’t the kennel option supposed to be here
it should
If u dont have the dlc it's not gonna be there
Oh ok
Correct. You need to own the bloodhounds DLC for it to be there
Is it just the bloodhound or is it for all dogs. When they all come out, I mean
Well bloodhound is the only dog in the game right now
Bloodhounds are the only ones in the game currently. Whether we will get any more is anyone’s guess
It's ok if it reaches zero now if you do not care about session score just try to kill Buffalo with a 7 mm they run for a distance with a long shot I can't wait for the render glitch to get fixed so I can start shooting stuff for the 7mm again at for distance
I know that, I mean using say a .223 on a whitetail shouldn't affect the integrity if you managed to get a heart shot and it dropped in a humane amount of time.
Theoretically technically possibly mathematically impossible but still possible based on how they are generated every animal in your map
.223 is rated for whitetail with scoring 2.0 btw
crap, wrong example
Mosin on elk and moose
I mean like a lower class gun on higher class animal should work if it dropped them in above 0 percent quick kill.
There is you a better example
Thanks lol
I still think having a ceiling on the recommended classes is a good idea. But that being said, I would like to see more varied weapons. I for one wanna see more combination guns
so a class 1-9 gun
I know there’s one out there that’s .243 over .410
Hmmm will a single long shot from a far distance with the 300 polymer point kill a moose and keep quick kill at least above zero?
or maybe .410 slugs
I can't remember if it kills it quick enough or not
Not exactly. All a Combination gun is is a gun that can fire two different types of ammo out of two or more different barrels (the drilling rifle is a classic example of one)
.50 cal and birdshot
seems fair
But say .243 over .410 would be good for Yukon since you can knock out fox and dux with one gun rather than two
Or parque with axis and blackbuck and teals
I wish a 410 shotgun was in the game so you can have 410 and 44 out of a longer barrel
Just more combination guns in general would spice things up
Yes
I want a 1-2 or a 1-3 rifle but there's not many options.
22 Magnum or hornet .17
yup, and those would be 1-2, but I'd still like that.
1-2 makes a fair amount of sense tho
Yes
A single shot .22 magnum or .17HMR would make for a good class 1-2
I have even seen some people kill deer with a 22 magnum
Single shot so it doesn’t wipe out both its competitors in class 1 and 2
Chiappa little badger is a single shot .22 mag(wmr)
a light little survival rifle, so low weight but only single shot
Maybe a combination gun in .22 magnum and .410 (assuming they add buckshot and slugs, which could be class 2-3 and 3-5 respectively)
we have the .45/.410 pistol but no slugs for it.
Yeh that’s what I’m targeting with my combo gun idea
That would be fun and you could use 44 as well
I’d say no .45LC just for balance reasons
Pretty much we need some of those airplanes survival rifles
Like a variation of the M6 for instance
Chiappa is kinda one of those ^
I want to recommend the worst weapon in the game: .22 akimbo
Anyways we’re getting off topic for this channel
Oh crap thought this was general
Let’s head over to #🦌︴general lol
diamond for plains bison?
221.1 trophy score
do tripods count as hunting stands
No. Has to be one you build on the map
moose one or which one was it?
in willipeg? yea did it today. just gotta wait for a good while
i had no need zones there just went there in maybe 12:00 and called 'n waited
think it was middle. had a little lake next to it
what other missions are after it
Use the call a lot starting around drink time if there is water nearby you should get one soon
alr thx
im going to WT hunt with the longbow
wish me luck
first time using it
Good luck
probably a good idea to try out the longbow in the shooting range before using it in hunting
That's highly illegal where I'm at. Required min is .24 caliber and 1,000 FPE remaining at 100 yards. .22 mag has maybe 250 FPE left after it's gone a football field
Here it's any rimfire rounds which is dumb because of the 25 auto exists
what perks should i reset to get my bow perks leveled up, have 4 skill unlocked in shotgun, rifle, pistol, and 1 in bows
...okay how do I get that unique 6.5 rifle
missions
how do I get those missions
i think flinter did a vid on unlocking it
also, if you sneak up on him, it takes a moment for Ogro to actually go aggro on you
he was "alert" when I got him
Whatever you're not using
I'm a heavy bow user and have a pretty good spread
well, no recoil from shotgun, fast reloads from handgun, must haves from rifle
I don't have any recoil perks but full fast reload
yeah there's unfortunately not enough perk points available to really get all the must-haves
unless u hack
I think that's what the purpose of the "reset skills" is, which doubles as a cash sink
No such thing as reporting hackers afaik, unfortunately
I need help, how do you activate night vision I bought the pack
You have to buy the NV binos
it's free
do not bother with the rifle scope though
thx
I did I bought the nv Binos but what key on the keyboard do I use to use them
...like any other item?
they're just a pair of binoculars
you have to equip them just like the regular ones
no special key or anything
Oh okay how do you equip those
Literally just like any other item. You've done that before, right?
Yes
now from the "inventory" screen of the menu, go to the "binoculars" list and drag the NV ones to whichever number key you want to use for them
Thank you!
👍🏼
Uh... would this be the right place to ask for suggestions on where to hunt European Bison?
ye
Hahaha I mostly don't either, but then I was like okay these are literally the only animal ingame I haven't hunted
then... they decided to go all cryptid on me I guess
there's one spot on the Schonfeldt/Spreeberg border (as in road border) that has a herd cross the field in the early/mid morning
ooooh
I just drop a tripod there and wait, because there's also a feed zone for both deer there + a rest one for fallows
Except red deer, boar, and geese, yes.
at 40m, the arrow will go straight where the shaft is pointing. at 30m or less, aim at the bottom of the rib cage
oops just noticed you have the short zero selected
at 20m, sight directly down the shaft
aim just above the visible tip at the zero distance
Seeing this makes me want to try it
aim at the tip about 5-10m past zero
BUFFALO PRACTICE TIME
Lol
these are 650gr
i literally maxed my bow score first playthrough with the longbow. once you get the aim point down, it is QUITE lethal out to 50-60m
So life goal is rabbit at 200m? Right
I've hit both running lynx and fox out to 60m with it
how hard would a 265m shot be on a water buffalo with 700gr?
took maybe 20 attempts
HOLY
Imma try
idk
but i aimed very high
maybe 20-30 buffalos high
and 5-6 buffalos to the left
😆 new unit of measure entered into the engineering standard. one buffalo - approx 4.5 ft vertical or 6 ft horizontal
yes
very techincal
ayo
1067 female buff track
where would i have to aim?
about 12m out
or something close
what's the best place to hunt as a beginner(No DLCS)
@brittle summit bottom of the ribcage
should hit about center lung or just above
just a hair lower than you're aiming, but you would probably hit lung holding where you're at
Te Awaroa
You can pass full integrity check on everything with the starter rifle and shotgun
The other one besides Layton lakes because you can start raising your money and skill up with fellow deer
Hirsch. No animals that actively go aggro where you start
I'm at Leyton lake most of the time
Hmm
where is Te Awaro
Well I mean ye walk down the road West little ways you find Bison
I've only ever had 1 black bear go aggro on me ever
Tho
New Zealand
It's one of the newest DLCs it was released back in December
I have no dlcs I havnt spent any money on the game I just got it
see
Yes I seen it
Also recommendation if you're shooting at long distance and you're trying to know what yardage it is spot the animal so it pops up on your map and then move the map cursor over to it so you can figure out roughly how far it is away I used that a lot until I finally got the rangefinder binoculars
It says down in the bottom right corner how far the map cursor is away from you
Ah, I am a considerable ways through a bottle of whiskey this particular evening which tends to slightly stunt my reading comprehension
With no DLCs, probably layton. The sheer number of bunnies and deer is incredible, and quite beginner friendly
My vote goes to Layton as well
Hirsch is pretty difficult for a beginner
Harder to find animals
I personally found Layton harder
for the reason stated above
I still have trouble finding things there
In comparison other maps are easier than Layton
But Layton vs Hirsch? Layton is easier
Imo
This. Te Awaroa, Cuatro, and SRP aer much easier places to find animals, but Hirsch is just a brutal place to hunt especially for beginners
You can play on DLC reserves in multiplayer, you don't have to own the dlc.
Is there any way to zoom out in the harvest screen? I shoot my first diamond(red deer) but i can’t see full of his antlers
Ps4
maybe try in the tru score screen? since im pc idk how to zoom out or if you even can
This is the best photo shot what i can. Still not full but i take it. Thanks
Sadly we can't zoom out just yet. Hopefully one day soon.
Hey whats the best gun to use for fallow deer i have been using the 6.5 but i feel like it could be easier
M1, 30-06, 303, 7 mm are all great. If you want to take down multiple fallow efficiently, then probably the M1.
Is the m1 in any dlc packs because i have most of the dlc but im missing a few
smoking barrels
M1 Iwaniec
In game
The game won't prevent you. But you'll lose a harvest check.
Probably not much.
What was that
Bit late but yes
I dont like hirsch
Too bushy for me
Then the 303 is a great option for fallow.
Why is it only a great option on te awaroa
Is it the dlc gun for that map
Or is it just more open
It's in the DLC and you get it free for completing one of the main missions. It's one of the best long range shooters in the game
Im yet to all of the missions for a single reserve yet
I have done some but not all
I don't like the missions myself. They're too buggy and the general vague descriptions throw me off sometimes. I'd rather spend my time just hunitng. Totally worth it to get the .303 on a new-ish account though
I think it costs like 60k credits to get it otherwise
how to get this level
Exactly. That's alot of dosh on a new account, and the .303 is a great all around rifle
thats a hack
Cheat. Alot
That's probably a hacked server as well. I'd leave before you get cooties
^^
Also take some screenshots and report him to EW on theHunter.com
ok
Wdym by alot of dosh like costs alot?
40k credits is quite a bit of game money when you're first starting out. The .303 being a good gun and also being free makes it worth doing the story arc on TA
it depends. if you have a trophy lodge any money is good money
I got up to like 2 million my last playthrough. SRP was very very good to me
Just kill a few thousand animals and you can be a millionaire too
It helped that I was chasing diamonds at SRP almost the entire time and wasn't spending on tents/tripods for other reserves
A 16,000 dollar tripod stand better at least have heated seats and a small drink cooler I swear.
the in game ammo cost is a tad irrealistic
Eh, I personally don’t think it’s a big issue, considering one kill ROI’s an entire stack of ten rounds
There’s also the concept of game balance to worry about
the "issue" for me is that since you need money to buy stuff, it may lead to a slaughter and not a hunt if you got your eyes on some new gear
What’s easier to use? Recurve or Longbow
Longbow actually gives you a point of reference to aim with
Recurve you just gotta aim center of screen
so the highest point of the arrow?
So if u were to drag ur finger across the wood where ur finger comes off at is where it goes
Only the wood
Ah
not when 10 bullets cost like 850 bro that tripod dirt cheap you're lucky it stands up
Wood of arrow, right?
Which color will the arrow go to?
Haha, was just being silly. But now I have an idea to do a calculation for how much the tripod stand is adjusted for the ammo price inflation to real world currency. I hope i remember when i get home from work.
wrong reply
oh god not another one
Might wanna smoke all those messages too
Done, nothing to see here, move along.
hey there guys, I just purchased the complete bundle of the game but I'm having some issues on loading it up, it gets stuck on the user agreement screen ; ;
anyone know what I can do ?
I cant click on any of the buttons to agree, sometimes I can use the arrow key to scroll down the agreement but it crashes eventually when I do that
Oh crap, sorry, battery on phone was dying and screen was dark.
are Mel brown bears rare cause I found 2 on the same map
yea thank, but I went through that list. I also know it wont be my pc specs either (because it's an . the only thing I havent done is disable antivirus but I cant do that on my work pc anyway
the only issue I think is possible is that my screen is too big for the game :/
because it's not my system specs but my monitor is 5120x1440 which is maybe causing problems with the UI?
try running the game in windowed mode
i did that, or rather did what it said in that list, it still seemed full screen but I dont know if it was 'windowed but full' like some applications can be
this is as far as it gets, I can hear the music but nothing intractable (only mouse and keyboard, no controller plugged in)
might wanna file a #📜︴support
same as all other bullet-based weapons: 200m
so i cant spook one herd
whew
the zone is 250m out
does anyone know if animals can hear/see at only horizontal distance or is vertical distance included too
like If I'm in a lookout tower can an animal hear me as if I'm only ground level with them.
no clue
unsure. i'd imagine vertical distance is factored in but i'd have to do a test to confirm
should i spend 190k on ammo, tents, tripods, etc for GO grind?
Uhh
i still have half of layton to cover
I would explore and try to find the drinking zones first
I have also not went on a grind for anything so I cannot really inform you what to do
I haven't gotten a great one, but i have been able to down 1,000 bucks in a couple weeks time. i have more like 500k sunk into tents and tripods. You do make alot of credits quickly once you get rolling, but it's kind of easy come easy go until you get all your equipment bought up
just put in 60k
do you have your dog
Where do you think it's the best spot for bow hunting spot on silver ridge ?
well in the end its completely dependant on your skill.
For good bow hunters basically anything that is within 60 or so meters is a good shot to take, but for beginners its under 25 meters. If you have the the High-Tech hunting pack then 150 meters is also good, but mostly it stays the same for most maps.
Stay in bushes and forests where the range between each tree is close, fields arent too bad, but you would need to find a bush next to the field for it to work.
As for S Ridge, stay within the taiga forests like something north-west.
I know this is a long one but it might help
any animal can be hunted with a bow, if you can get them close or get yourself close to it without spooking it
What is that huge circle that sometimes appears on the map. Like a grey ring.
maybe a glitch, cant find any info on it and have never seen it for myself.
happens to me also, when zooming slowly on the map i think
I did the missions and got the 303 going well so far thanks for the idea
Anyone know any good hotspots for fallow deer on te awaroa i found a good lake killed them and now there gone but idk the good lakes to check
The big sandy lake on the far right side is good as are the two lakes in Pukemaro
The sandy one on the right is full drenched in purple so thats the one i said has none left sadly and the two in pukemaro well the top one has none anymore idk where they went and i went to the bottom one and found two fallow
God i haven't been up the river kinda just dont like it because its bushy
there's no brush on the river itself. the banks are totally open
Yeah but its a big like hill/cliff and i dont think they can drink on it
There's animals all over the river at drink times, I just can't remember if fallows are one of them
can i play with my friend that is on console even though i am a pc player
No. The game does not support cross-play
Hey guys, whenever I host a multiplayer session for myself and some friends, I randomly completely disconnect from the internet for about 10 seconds and get kicked from the session. This strangely enough only happens when playing thehunter and it prevents me from getting any need zone progress with friends. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Sounds like a problem with ur router
I’d suggest checking your internet or your Internet drivers. There might be something that doesn’t like you hosting a server
What exactly do you mean with internet or internet drivers? I’ve hosted game servers for years and I’ve never had a similar issue. Googling this issue resulted in nothing and I’m fairly confident my internet connection is solid
Greetings Hunters! I am having sound issues for the last week or so, ONLY with Hunter:cotw So far I have altered a Win-"write-to" file and grahpics options (powersaver to performance), clean installs... zilch
I’d actually suggest looking into this issue on Google and see if there’s any solutions. If not, #📜︴support
Alright, thanks
what's the range of the m1? is it compatible with long range sights?
any range you are capable of shooting, and if long range sigts are the argus, then yes
nice, thanks
most effectve <200m, but you can definitely smoke animals out to beyond 300m with it
just incase anyone gets stuck on the user agreement screen I figured out a workaround.
-load the game and don't touch the mouse at all (if you move the mouse you get locked out)
-use the keyboard arrows to slowly scroll through the user agreement text (if you go too fast the game crashes so this part will take a few minutes)
-once you get to the bottom you can use your mouse to click on agree and you get into the game!
Hello. I'm having trouble figuring the brighsight bow sight out. I've watched some videos where the guy just "zeroes" the sight and goes for the green dot. I've been trying this on both shooting stands and it doesn't seem to work properly, my shots always come short. I've tried using different "zeroings" (perk one) and using the sight feature but after 50m I can never hit the target. Yes I am considering wind. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you!
press interact button while aiming at the target
so E on pc
X on xbox
and i think square on ps4 (idk buttons)
Well that is a bit obvious isn't it? I said I did use the sight feature. My problem is exactly that, I go for the green dot but it seems to always go down.
Let me get a screenshot
I'm on rn what's going on?
op bow sight being weird
Theres a bug right now that has it showing wrong distance
Zeroing for 50m
U shot on the red believe
Try the red
Aiming for red
does it really have to be bullseye? all you really need to hit is lungs
Well I'm trying to figure this thing out. Now trying over 50m
I can't even see where I'm hitting the board
aim at green
yes, aiming at green and the shot doesm't even appear on board
huh
I walked up the the boards and could not find my arrow 🤔
compensate for wind
Did that
yeah bows aren't usually reliable for 100+ meters
id say 60m is the maximum you wanna use a bow at
I mean you could go 75
Humm yeah. I never try a shot more than 50m. I was just hoping the sight would help with that
the swift mark 3 bowsight tbh i like more
Well I'll just keep using the long bow to be honest. Don't really see much advantage with this sight
That is strange. You use the red dot to zero and then aim with the green dot once you've used the red but it looks like you're doing that correctly.
the ranging sight is gross
I have issues with shots over 100 meters with it but anything below that it has given me zero problems.
Ill take a screenshot when im able.
Yeah I can't find the video where I saw someone downing an animal from 100m+.
with waht
bow
It seemed the green dot was right at the animal, but maybe he did compensate and I did not notice
cool
how old is vid?
Apr/2020
yeah things could've been tweaked since then
I just killed a reindeer at like 130m with the bow
nice
what are y'all talking aboot
nice
no wt in sight
what arrows are you using, outa curiosity?
I've been having a lot of fun with this sight since I got the hightek DLC
feels really powerful, if a bit cheaty~
and I don't really mind the weight, can still carry everything I need for a hunt
oh and these results are with the 420g arrows
Better clarification with how far you can sight in the brightsight.
but still well performing
The red dot scans the distance, green is your new aiming spot that needs lined up after.
this is the farthest scan I could get
anything above that gives me FAR
as for how accurate it is at that range, well...
shooting range has some limitations~
got one on the board! literally!
I've always hated those darn panel things.
Just let me shoot! Also I don't like how there are spots for more targets in the closer bow ranges but those ones don't exist and you gotta travel to Fernando
yeah, it annoyed me too
They have the board things on the ground, making it look like they were there at some point but got removed?
I was using the medium ones. Don't remember the weight in them.
420gr then probably
How do people track total numbers of one animal. Like people who say x (>1000) whitetail killed so far?
Pen and paper (or the digital equivalent)
@shrewd hare
Just saw and 🔨
Lemme guess. Another one of those CSGO scams?
What should I do when I have a only doe zone?
why cant we have nicknames here?
if I had to guess, people abused it in the past
thanks!
I finished the questline for Te Awaroa and didn't receive the .303, is there a prerequisite I don't know about?
did you happen to check the outpost store to see if you can obtain it from there?
^ it's locked for me
can i see a screenshot of the store just to make sure im not seeing anything?
yeah you might want to bug report that one
Recently just got the game and I want to find a good hunting method, like which reserve I should use, and where I should hunt.
first question: did you buy any DLC?
All of it yeah
i recommend starting on either Silver Ridge Peaks or Layton Lakes. also, go to an outpost ASAP and acquire your DLC weapons
i already have on Layton I've been playing for about 5 hours just can't find an effective route/strategy
hunt the lakes around early morning (around 6:00) and early afternoon (around 13:00)
you may find some deer
"weapon sights align faster after rotating with any weapon"
what exactly does that mean?
very desciptive info
with iron sights, every weapon takes a second to readjust if you're ADSing and spinning
you should hunt in silver ridge peaks. set the time to pronghorn feed time and run up the big hill behind the starting outpost and you will find a ton, very easy cash
yeh the pronghorns are basically made of cardboard and tin foil
they go down super easily
good ex and rifle score?
yea you get everything pretty much
does it matter what gun or ammo because I have 15 000
yes. pronghorns are class 4. you need a weapon + ammo that is rated for class 4 (all but four rifles can take class 4 animals, so you should be completely fine)
m1 with polymer tips?
M1 will faceplant pronghorn at 300m
two lakes to the north of the starter outpost are a pronghorn hotspot. go there around 9:00 and start massacring them
alright thanks
this makes it so much easier thanls
Anyone know what the " motion blur " setting is all about? Says it affects performance. Can't say I notice a difference either way. On series x
when you move around fast enough it will blur your screen
mostly that but there is more too it
Anyone else having trouble with geese spawns? I bought the DLC yesterday. Decided to try my hand on goose hunting today, been sitting here for almost 1 irl hour and not a single goose appeared. I have the decoys set up and I keep using the caller.
Geese spawning is going to be adjusted next update.
Something has been confirmed borked with them and ducks
although I usually have good luck at the Ritterstein Strawfields
Is a light brown turkey worthy of tax?
If you decide it is
It is rare
On a wildebeest track what does canter mean?
Coooool
It's like a special version of trot
What does a crowned wildebeest look like?
Also is a herd with two golden ones pretty good? And should I take one of the golden ones or a level four with a pretty good estimate?
It is rather large heard sleeping
female only. think of it as a regular wildebeest with a gold mane
Oh god ok thanky
There's a lot of them and I'm trying to see if there's any fancy ones there's probably a good 15 20 it seems like
yeh wildebeest herds regularly top 30 in size lol
Damn
Whats a crowned wildebeest?
(image from old scoring system)
a rare fur type only found on female wildebeest
Oh
Thanky
Is the headlamp visible at night by the animals?
Nope
Dope
Im having a lot of trouble killing the deers. I always hit them but its not a vital shot. What can i use to penetrate the flesh more?
The bullets don't penetrate at all
Are you using polymer tip rounds
Also what gun are you using for whatever animal your shooting?
polymer tips are very important
They are indeed
I use the ranger .243
I used the normal ones but then switched to polymer and its the same thing
Shot 3 deers in a row , none died
And i aim for behind the front legs
I got no issues with the other 2 weapons for bears , moose and rabbits or coyotes
Only the deers
Poly is muuuuuuch better. .243 is a little underpowered for class 4-6, but great for class 2-3. I've killed roe deer from 350m no problem with it
What class is whitetail and blacktail considered
class 4
.30-06, M1, .270, or .303 all work quite well for class 4
7mm too
Oh alright. Then the .243 whats it for in layton?
coyotes
Those die 1 shot from .22 tho
it's the best gun in the game for coyotes/jackal and roe deer
i've shot coyotes IRL with .22 LR and had it not even break the skin
Oh, well idk , shot like 3 coyotes with .22
You just tap em
So i guess .243 for coyotes
.22 rabbits
And everything else in layton the .30
yup
👆
I usually run around with the M1, a bow, and the 10 gauge if i have room
M1 is for what?
deer, elk, bear
if you get a good shot on class 7 or 8 animals, the 06 is fine
Oh , hard shots i guess
How you guys know how many animals died when you shoot like a bunch so you can track em down?
I mean ive shot like 20 animals on the same spot
The map is like pink
Got no clue how to find them now
track them
I found 3 i guess but theres a crap ton of footprints you get lost
also, i hope there were no good zones there because you deleted those
Oh, no clue what you mean
So like i got another 15 deers back here
They keep coming back
4 or more pressure is deleting any zones that it covers
Oo so i should not kill too many
no
