best rifle for 4-8 level?
m1 takes down 4-6 like they're nothing
300 and 338 shred class 7-9
.303 and eckers .30-06 are also great class 4-8 rifles
.388 comes with which dlc?
how much it cosT?
60k
weapon pack 2
it's decently effective. its strength is its versatility
its a shotgun and a rifle in one weapon
how do i hange from rifle to shotgun (which key)?
hold R
ok'
how can i add animals to trophy lodge
go into edit mode, place them on plaques or full body mounts
ok
yo this game so hard lmao, i cant find any animals. anyone got any tips?
Don’t make noise
Stop constantly running
Something I still have not got yet lol
Listen for animal calls and be slow and cautious when near them
the thing i dont like about not running is that you move so slow croutching, walking is not so bad, but croutching is like a snail
It’s how you play the game there isn’t much to say other than that
someone help me
Running scares animals away from around 200 m away roughly you can walk till I think 120 crouch to around 80-100 and you can crawl slowly all the way up to around 10 m
i gotta get used to the style lmao, im used to fps games sprinting around and shooting everything
help me
Lol I get it
how do i go to trophy lodge?
Go to a map and then open the map menu thing and hunting lodge is like the third or fourth one from the bottom
Once you really learn how to be sneaky and get some good animals it’s fun
You're not able to get to it from the main menu
ok
Yes and you will get better and better animals
ty
Sorry I did not see get some good animals
Np glad I could help
alright, i just got the game yesterday lol so im gonna have to get used to moving slow
Yeah and if you have the ATVs only use them when you're not intending on hunting
And thanks
Idk how they work really but if you buy scents it helps but I haven’t even used them I just have seen them before
alright
The scent eliminator is very useful in my opinion it cuts the distance the animals can smell you into about half
oh damn
So if you're stalking with bad wind it's very useful
yeah
I’m just lucky lol I think I’ve had bad wind once
Wow
what is bad wind
Wind that is blowing into the direction of the animal making them smell you
Yep
You can always just position Around them better
yeah
Yesh
Yeah
I know this is a very random ass question but will the Halloween missions exist this year I have discovered they did last year does anybody know if they will this year?
Hi all. Just got COTW and enjoyed it but after 30+ hrs, a sound issue has appeared. When I play on reserves other than Layton, after 10 mins or so into the game, there suddenly is no sound at all. No ambient sounds, no footsteps, no animal calls, lures don't make sound. Sometimes even my gun shots don't make a sound. And I also notice my FPS starts to stutter. Exiting to main menu and restarting will solve the problem but will happen again in 10mins or so
does anyone know if this is a known issue and can point me to known solutions?
Where should I shoot an animal if I’m trying to kill it? I ussslly aim for neck or lungs
is there any rare pheasant variants?
albino
known issue. no known fixes other than #EWFixYourGame
that it?
all i know of (cuz i have one lol)
@hidden basin man that sucks. But thanks .....at least i know it isn't my set up. gonna dig around for solutions. will post if i figure something out
Lungs is best for starters neck is a pain in the ass to hit most the time
Then you can try to go for heart shots they be hard tho
For the neck shots I usually get them when there eating and they put the neck down
so neck is better?
To eat
If you can hit it yes
neck is a hard target to hit, but it will result in an instant drop. lungs are a safer target
It's just hard to hit a lot
Alright thanks
Whats a good spot for pheasant
I go for broadside neckshot on feeding Roe Deer with the 223.
Bruh. 223 is cheeks. .243 better
Lol
I know, but i like the 223 on Hirschfelden so I don’t care
Though I rotate between the two.
why i can't download this DLC ? i click on " i have steam " but nothing happens
There's no downloading it it is already on there if you have updated it once you purchase it you're able to play it immediately
You just start the game up and boom you have everything from the DLC you purchased
Np
I got a question in the new ranch map besides albino, what other pheasant variants is there? [ and not including the common variants ]
how do i asky my dog to follow me??
should i use the geleck drilling rifle or 20SA for hunting birds?
anyone know how to fix the audio glitch? Where only certain sounds like walking through brush, or shooting the gun can be heard, no animals can be heard, no ATV can be heard (if you're driving or someone else is).
I have an issue with Yukon valley mission A place to hang your hat, I'm told to unlock the outpost however I have interacted with the pole and the icon went from green to white, the mission won't continue?
Hello, is there a hunting outpost in this area somewhere? Or do I need to set up a tent?
There should be an outpost at the top of that dotted path by the feed zone (the one that's not in the hunting pressure circle)
@tranquil tundra Thank you very much
I need help
just leveled up and did not get a skill or perk point, not sure which one was supposed to be now
I am level 38
All rancho outpost locations for those who need/want it
I restarted the game, but the perk/skill point still did not appear
why?
anyone else experiencing this?
after level 37 you only get 1 point per 3 levels
Is anyone able to help? I've played medved taiga map, I've found all nenet monuments and cave paintings but I don't get the trophy. Is this common and how can it be fixed? I'm playing ps4.
Wondering what difficulty means on a animal?
Difficulty means, well, it's difficulty to be hunted
Very well explained 🙂
Higher difficulty will have better awareness and senses than its peers
Ah
Less likely to come in to calls or vocalize
So the higher the difficulty its like older?
While the minors are dumb
Higher difficulty will also have the better trophy rating, and animals with the max difficulty for their species have a good chance of being diamonds
Just wondering about trophy rating how do i know if its good?
Ik higher number means better but how do i know if its a trophy kill
I would refer to the pinned comment on #509301826869264385
The spreadsheet has score thresholds for every animal for each medal category
i think ive seen something like those spreadsheets on theHunter classic
or one for it
So if the animal has a score estimate that say, exceeds gold or diamond threshold, then it's one of the better ones you can get
so i should save those ones?
Up to you, but generally yeah
Well i will be going ingame now thanks
Yis~
Do you need to pick up tents from other reserves before using them in a new reserve?
Yes. But you can always buy more. A LOT more
Oh damn, didn't realize you could buy more. Sweet.
They're expensive.
they are pretty expensive, but yes
They’ll cost you an arm and a leg, yeah
16k cash per tent. You’re gonna need deeeeeeeeeeeeep pockets to fill a map with them
isn't there a limit of 8 tents per map?
Yeah, I see that lol. This game is certainly the time sink. 27 hours and I feel like I'm getting over a tutorial period and kind of making cash. I love it.
16
wow, thats a lot, tyvm
= 256k cash to fill an entire map with tents (rip COTW finances)
so 2.56M to fill all 10 maps with tents
The three T’s that kill your COTW finances:
-Tents
-Tripods
-Taxidermy
In order to save some money for the time being I have moved all of my tents and tripods over to the new map since I will be hunting that one for a while
From Layton
I’ll put them back eventually
Where do i find my saved animals?
while inside a trophy lodge, pause menu > trophy manager
Trophy manager in the menu of a trophy lodge
nice~
So I was looking at my saved harvest and I came across a 244 gemsbok would that have made diamond?
nope
Ok
Not by a longshot. Diamond is 337
Heya I know they are aware of the sound in bushes glitch, but I am having a bug on Medved Taiga that the sounds of footsteps and such vanishes. And it happens almost all the time. I restart the game and withing 20 minutes I am stuck again in silent footsteps.
I do believe that bug has been acknowledged
Known audio bug
okay just twanted to make sure read through the known bugs but might have missed it
okay thanks. the silence creeps me out so will sttay away from that map till its fixed
And me wanting to complete the lynx collection
And this is something you think we, the moderators on this particular discord server, can help with?
Known bug on at least four maps. Also don’t ping the mods, they aren’t part of the dev team.
There’s also a #📜︴support thing
^^this
Was just asking if its a known bug
Yes read it but did not see the no footsteps bug there so was just making sure
No problem thanks for the assist man 🙂
hey guys
are disappearing tracks a thing? found tracks of a nice big red deer and then there are suddenly just none
not sure if I haven't checked big enough area or this might actually happen (managed to find them further at awkward angle, but question remains)
Well if you shot it it might have had the render glitch. And if not just keep fallowing the tracks. Also if it has been over a day since that red was there the tracks will start to disappear
fallowing-
intentional?
How is the Great One spawning? does it only appear once in one place? or can it appear other times on the same map?
It's supposed to be based off of random chance by killing more and more deer should slowly grow for a greater chance to one pop up there is supposedly a chance you could even have one spawn in the first original spawn of the map when you started for the first time but most of the time it requires to killing a lot of deer
Average number of deer killed is between 1800 and 3,000 roughly when people get there GOS
It seems
I understand, my doubt is, if he didn't appear in the first spawn on the map, he still has chances to appear in other spawns, right?
Yes
They very rarely if ever actually spawn in the first part of the map it has not been confirmed or denied if it has. with rancho coming out and people getting them very early the way it seems like if they were all true and none of them was hacked or cheated you have a chance of getting one on the initial first spawn
why my diamond whitetail is "legendary piebald" now? before update he was a comum diamond whitetail
Known issue. It should be fixed retroactively.
New Glitch
All of it is random chance, so a great one can be an initial spawn on a new map, or it can be the 15,000th whitetail you kill, or anything in between
is there a way to get outside of the spring creek manor?
For cool points
were geese fixed finally
on PC yes
fuck
on console, not yet
y?
why they do pc and nit console
verification of the update
Spinal cord shot will drop the animal on the spot (hitting only the vertebrae does not), but it does not count as vital, so you’d need to strike a lung for it to not fail the check.
Altho, necc shots are still 100% viable. Lower, middle, and upper necc all count as vitals and hitting any of the three is an instant faceplant
On the mission A Place To Rest, where exactly is it located
the second part
look for the area in the photograph
i know its near a lookout
just.. which one lol
basically, right or left.
I CANT FIND IT
VERY ANGRY
||Mirador Bajavista, left side||
Wasn't the last update supposed to fix the spawn rates of ducks and geese? i have been sitting in my mallard blind for 15min and haven't heard a single Quack, am i doing something wrong?
just geese
u on console or PC
?
good i am in the mood for birds
can dogs track geese? it would work wonders for leveling up
yep
good
at least, im pretty sure
thanks for the tips
it takes a few minutes for the game to realize that you've investigated all the items
5-ish?
is 20-24 pound turkey a diamond?
ommmggggg
im so nervoussssss
xD
and i have its zone too
do i use the caller for it if i dont see it?
is there melanistic pheasants?
i also have decoys.
yes
someone got a mela diamond on reddit
^ or if i hear it
crow caller then mouth
yea
ok
diamond for black tail?
thx
so its calling but doesnt seem to be coming towards me what do i do?
My white tail piebald, and my albino coyote became common. is this a bug? will i get them back?
yes and probably
ok, thanks
^^?
what caller are you using?
if it's the crow caller it will only vocalize
use crow to get the location
ah, if it doesn't come into a mouth call i would rush it
mouth to call in
maybe sneak if it's your style
dang man that sucks
i'm having this exact same bug....on all reserves except Layton/ its annoying! and yesterday a new bug appeared, all my Roosevelt Elk post hit tracks disappear. plus some outpost can't be fast traveled to anymore!
A lot of maps are affected and it's broken now
still waiting fix from the dev as well
I have the 2019 edition on disk, after the dog update the game essentially converted my 2019 edition to the normal one. I lost vurhonga and Medved along with my weapon pack 1. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing worked
Anyone know how to fix?
have you sent in a bug report?
they didnt send you an email or anything?
are there any good tips in discovering need zones other than the drinking one ?
That's not what i meant, but i guess there are no easy way. Thanks for the help tho
Yeah, I’ve never gotten the glitch in Layton Lake. The sound just almost dissapears for a few seconds then only certain sounds come back, and afterwards I get framedrops.
Are there any cons to turning off hunt club beta on console?
how do i reduce the movement which occus while we zoom on something
there's a perk that lets you find them from watchtowers
skill*
hello can anyone help me? I launched the game and changed my settings, played abit and quit and now when I try to launch it wouldnt?
it keeps crashing again and again and I have tried some methods already but it wouldnt work
can anyone just please help me, I just want to play the game
Check thehunter support website
what exactly should I do there? Submit reports? I have looked alot on other places after official solution stuff and it still woulndt work

Is there a way to get a new population without deleting everything you have?
what mission, if I may ask?
No

What is the best place to grind for a diamond red deer?
I kinda exterminatef em all in fernando
Lol, try Hirshdenfeldon and Te arrowa
I will
I only see herds of 10 females drinking now in fernando
Rarely seeing any males
You cant sleep in multiplayer thought, right?
You can if your server owner 🙂
So i create a private server then?
Yeah do not do public servers
either you get people who don't care about wiping zones, or hackers that'll mess with your pop files just by being there
yh
Aight thnx for the tips guyss
Np,
are anyone else's iberian wolves not leaving need zone tracks whatsoever?
I don't play Cuatro that much, but the only time I saw Iberian There were tracks, ive had it with other animals when I shoot them there aren't any tracks and I'm quite disappointed,
will 1 pellet from 16ga kill a turkee
What class ammo?
Then yes..
Wait One Pellet?
So not a full shell?
If one pellet then tho?
If a half/full shell yes.
1 pellet
And depends on Distance.
50ish meters
Prob not then?
yes, eventually
any hit from any weapon on a class 1 will eventually kill it
They'll run for a good bit, but yeah
I love when you slam a turkey in mid flight and they just faceplant xD
its been 10 minutes
do you have the dog dlc?
i own it
Get the dog out and start tracking
and no, Class 1's being tracked don't make the game crash anymore
hell no
hes usless
You're not going to find that turkey then 🤷♀️
are hunter stands glitched? everytime I try to enter I end up trapped in the "base" of the stand and have to fast travel out
Yes, known problem
ugh
4.5
Right so I am hunting with 243 polymers, Layton Lake, can't find anything but to add onto that cant down anything unless direct hit between the shoulders or 3 shots to the heart
Any tips for Layton?
m1
Thing is, cant get the cash for the m1
In game haha
Hey guys I'm looking for 2 small bits of information. 1. When spotting Antelope Jackrabbit what is the high end of the LBS on the spotting weight? I have seen a 10, and believe that's it, but just want to confirm. Also 2. What is the high end of LBS on spotting weight for Pheasants? I think it's either going to be a 6 or 7, but I've yet to see one anywhere. All of the other content creators use KG so I can't find it in videos. These are the last two pieces of information I need to finish my information sheet update. any help is appreciated.
smoking barrels
i have a bunch of deer i don't remeber getting for some reason
piebalds?
yeah like 3 or 4 of em
it's a glitch right now. Melanistic and some commons are turning into Piebalds and Fabled Piebalds.
They are supposed to be fixing it
Anyone have good spots for cape or water buffalo and/or Plains or EU bison
Cape Buffalo the top of the map at the inlet, and the two lakes on the top right. The lake at the top left also. Water Buffalo the entire top and right side of the map along the water and the lakes all the way down to the mushroom lake on the bottom right. @misty verge
EU Bison the left side of the map mainly. Plains Bison SRP bottom and right side of the map Yukon the mid top area with the marshlands and the 3 lakes just below that in the middle of the map.
Ok thanks
I'm new to this game and got a new DLC yesterday. Noticed it yesterday and noticed it now as well as i just got on. I'm not able to find any tracks of anything whatsoever
could this be a glitch on my side?
anyone's game crashes like crazy like 45 minutes - 2 hour between each crash?
does anyone also has the bug on yukon where the fast travel is not working how it should?
No?? ^
This has never happened to me but what if you run out of ammo without any money? I’m just curious
i believe your initial gun provides free amo
Oh ok
Yh the starter rifle gives free.
Although, Im level 37 I use starter gun still
Lol
wow i just found out
even though its a low bleed rate
the hunted animal still dies
Well yeah??
i just started this game yesterday
i thought it had to be a high bleed rate for a critical injury
Yh?
fatal injury*
lol no
u just need a vital hit
all neck
lungs
heart
liver
wonder how many animals i left to die in the field...
what animal species
deer
not sure, didnt pay much attention to that when i started the game yesterday and was hunting them lol
just took down a couple of water buffaloes few moments ago
what level
hmm is there a way to check after i harvested them already?
what gun u using
solokhin mn1890 frontline
what gun should i use
gotta increase my rifle score i believe
for those guns
and make lot more money lol
i got like 4k
any tips on quick cash?
no but i can get it
it is definetly worth it
noted
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in a few hours
how can you till if a gun can hit class 9's?
compatible items > find the ammo
oooo gotcha
ty
ooo
well
i got the grelck drilling rifle as well
and it can hit class 9
but i hate the scope on it
. 300 mag and 7mm can and are great
Does anyone know the best place for whitetails in layron?
Hello, any tip for Pheasant hotspot on Mexico map? And best shot gun for them?
another buffalo only bronze =*(
so i just got the wild goose chase dlc
but i dont see it in the reserves
as a selection
hirchfelden is the goose map
they're super spread out. the river usually has the most drink zones for them, but they're hard to find. any piece of waterline can have a drink zone
oh what the heck?
then why did i buy the dlc if i had hirschfelden already
or does it add gooses to the map
?
so you can hunt the geese
ah
go to a flat field
strawfield
then place a tripod, 20 goose decoys, and buy the short reed goose caller
sit in a field, and call
use a shotgun with birdshot or the .22LR rifle
Do lvl 4 wildebeest make diamond?
i don't have enough for goose decoy's though
yes
they come free
Epic
tyty
Use shotgun with birdshot
.22LR rifle from weapon pack 1 is good
score not high enough for 12 GA
Use the the 16g gun you get from goose dlc
can anyone tell me what fabled piebald is?
rare fur type for the GO
nobody has gotten it
i just found one of my old saved harvests, its labeled as it
probably an index bug has caused the fabled piebald to appear in trophy lodge
i have a " " fur type WT
thats cause its a doe
theres no fabled piebald for does
because
they cant be great ones
hmm, imma just leave it there. Pretty cool to have i guess
so it aint that rare?
ok
Are there any cons to turning off hunt club beta on console?
do the goose come out at night
spent all my money on the goose caller, cant sleep to change the time lol
any time
good
yeah
Does anyone have tips for making money in early game
Goose hunting or just shooting anything you see
Also is there any rare mallards?
I was told mela wasn’t rare
I am pretty sure it is
should I always Save my harvest for hunting lounge rewards or do this only for gold/diamond?
If it is a rare then yes but I usually just do diamonds and rares
while saving a harvest doesn't cost anything, taxidermizing a harvest does cost money; however you want to do it is up to you, but only taxidermize animals that you think are worth the investment of mounting.
The general consensus is that animals with rare pelts or diamond scoring trophies are worth it
But honestly, it's always up to you
is there any limit to how many you can save?
I don’t think so
I was acoiding it till like few days ago when I noticed that if I save I still get a reward, tought it wasn't rewarding anything if I did that before 😄
save? yes
you can only "Save" 10 animals at a time
any more and you have to go into the trophy manager to either tax them or discard them
ok so 10 is a limit
there's no limit to how many animals you can taxidermize, but again, it costs
Sure thing~
Is mela a rare mallard
oh btw is there a way to turn off icons for Needs Zones/Hunting stands/etc while you're hunting?
check the pinned message in #509301826869264385
Nope i think they are the most useful thing in the game tho
Settings > Game > POI Icons and Need Zone Icons
Thats what I thought. Flinters server is saying im wrong but they had had that sheet on one of there channels😂
Opinions on fur rarity are far from completely consistent~
since noone likes exact percentages
at least A-a-ron's spreadsheet is used by the official staff on this server, so it has more validity than others
Does the game keep track of how many of a certain animal you’ve shot or do you have to keep track.
Hunting pressure goes away when you create it somewhere else. It does not have a timer. @upper field
my game still crashes when i go fast on a field, anyone know what can be?
ty
@ocean token If you find an error, or you see something that may be wrong, message me. Feedback is what gets it closer to 100% but itll never be 100%
I believe 100% in your sheet but some people are saying otherwise in flinters server
Even tho they supported it
Then they should be messaging me, but people sometimes dont think of giving feedback
Nothing is ever 100% percent but your one seems like the best
I feel mela and luecistic are rare as i really dont see them all that oftenly posted, lots of piebalds so those are uncommon. But since TK have officially said its used for super rares, changes might have to be made
changes on the sheet not super rare channel
Yeah
I feel so bad about accidentally deleting a WT need zone smack dab in the middle of two others
since there's no place for it to respawn nearby because of that, is it probably gonna respawn in the same place?
or is it possible to merge with the other zones?
either is possible, but it's mos likely gonna reappear somewhere nearby as soon as you clear the hunting presure
which one performs better for 4-9, 7mm or .45-70 ?
Can you take geese with a 22?
Yes
Yeah.
hmm 7mm has only 1 bullet in mag, which would hurt for moose packs
can't afford .300 now ^^
if you're on PC, grind geese.
hmm how does it work exactly? you setup tents near lakes?
for geese?
you set up a tent, a blind and decoys on fields
any recommended weapon for this?
I like to use the 10ga when they are landed or flying close, and the .22 when they are flying away
But any shotgun should do the job just fine.
so 1981 + .22lr
yep
gonna setup some tents tomorrow and try that
It's the best way to make lots of money fast.
Does anyone know the max weight for a boar?
birdshot of course. we are talking about geese not bison
10ga seems a bit buggy rn
240 kgs or 529 lbs
Also what’s the max level?
5
One more question, I can take them with the 7mm right?
yes
You can
He most certainly can.
You can
whats the noise range when you fast travel to tent ?
0
Only time they flee is when u place a tent
Other than that 190 for them to render in
ah layton has mallard duck
well, time to explore Hirschfelden then, was running around Layton with quests mostly so far
.45-70 outperforms 7mm in close range encounters, around 100-150m mark
I used it extensively before getting any DLCs, it's surprisingly accurate at its effective range and packs a punch
and for bigger game like bison, the ability to follow up immediately is very nice
At 100-150 m mark you can use whatever. If you measure how good a rifle is you should look at how capable it is at longer range shots.
well the 45-70 is not a long range rifle
neither of the lever actions are, and that's alright
Yes. And that's why there is no reason to use the 45-70 instead of the 7mm. Unless someone really wants to use it because of personal preference, which is an absolutely valid reason. The 7mm is just objectively a more useful gun.
so is there any Hirschfelden map with good goose spots ?
Any of the fields should do it. I have my setup at the middle of the map.
All over
I would argue the ability to perform follow-up shots in quick succession at closer range for bigger and/or aggressive game is an advantage over the 7mm
But yeah, personal preference at the end of the day
Too poor to buy red read so i use 45-70 so i feel like doing hunting in red dead
thanks @brittle summit
np
what about the decoys tho? 1 is enough or you drop multiple?
20
with layout blind or ground blind?
tripod
You can use only the caller if you don't have money for the full setup. You'll get less geese, but soon enough you'll be able to buy everything you need.
woops, time to go and grab my tripods from layton then 😄
Are there any cons to turning off hunt club beta on console?
With stacked need zones, will the animal that the need zone used to be for still come to that need zone?
yes
awesome. cause i keep overwriting whitetail zones with sheep zones. thanks.
I heard somewhere that if you choose new game your hunting trophies/lodge stays the same? Or am I wrong?
You keep everything in your lodge, yes.
unless you do a Dumb like I did when I had to manually wipe all my files due to a corruption not even letting me reach the menu
Holy shit ok @hidden basin professional bobcat Hunter what recommendations do you give for somebody tracking a bobcat during the day since the particles on the tracks are messed up any recommendations on color or anything I'm getting pissed trying to track this bobcat it's a max weight estimate bobcat what do you think I should do continue trying to track it or wait and try to get it later I have not seen the cat just the tracks?
Well I succeeded in finding the one I was after which turned out to be a level 7 with a max weight estimate but before finding it I found a common level 8
Ok cool so if I start a new game I can technically redo all the story stuff again while keeping my old taxidermies? Hecc yeah
Excuse the ping I just wanna be sure, I tend to be a tad slow at times lol
no
if you start a new game, you will lose EVERYTHING
If you want to redo all the story stuff, just delete the missions_missiondata_adf file
Ok ty
No, you keep taxidermies. I've restarted multiple times. My lodges are always untouched by a new save, except for that time when I manually deleted the entire file because I couldn't even get to the menu.
if you want to play it safe, save a backup before you start over.
but I've restarted before, and I've (save for an unusual circumstance) always kept my lodges.
I think I'll back up regardless lol
👍🏼
To each their own. I personally get bored when my level's up to max
...and I honestly dislike having cluttered inventory menus, so restarting fixes that for a while
Im a bad shot so having all the levels helps lol
not to mention it's a legit way to get fresh map populations
what gun is better 45-70 or 7milimeter
ok
downside, you have to be within 200 meters
ok
This worked like a charm, time to get my wolves I messed up when I first started playing lol
Im new to this game and i was wondering and i have hunted 6 animals. how do i get rid of the hunting pressure on the best possible, like how many kills do i have to get before it complete fades away
You can have around 10 (not sure what's the actual number) hunting pressure circles on your map at any give time. After that each new kill will remove the oldest hunting pressure.
Yep.
? both
The bows are turned on the wall too.
Yes
i would be fine if the crossbow wasnt like that
And if they weren't in that position on the wall. They looks silly this way.
Crossbows looks funny some part stays in wall
Also how the vertical bows are turned, and they are overlapping each other since they supposed to be in "standing" position.
submit a bug report for this
thats what imma lookin into now 👍
never did one before lol
thats very helpfull
what about tier 2 hunting pressure?
tier 2?
It's the same, but the more you stack at one place the longer it takes to be removed completely.
ok
is it normal to have 4 whitetail drink zones on this lake
Yea
How is this shot possible?
Oh nvm just thought of sometihng else
Thought it was going through 10 animals with one arrow
I find bows very easy to aim though
The traditional ones seem rather hard to use
I usually use the houijy whatever called recurve bow
whats max level in cotw?
60
alright, thought was higher, seeing a lot over that
good to know thanks
I'm playing for few years(with longer breaks coz i have only 150hrs on steam) and I wonder what would be perfect perk build focused on stalker?
coz i feel like i have everything i need but ambusher feels kinda off
this is what i use
and wonder if i should change anything
Where do you do this build from ?
hunter friend u will find it on steam guides
there is a lot stuff that can help during game so u don't need to search on wiki/guides
Also i would prefer to get endurance and packed mule instead of disturbed vegetation and innate triangulation, but that's up to preference I guess
It's against the rules to share or discuss mods.
So I have verified my files and reinstalled the game, tho, it just will not launch after the last crash, any ideas?
No errors or messages, just wont launch
Is your GPU driver up to date?
Yeah
Ryzen 5 3600x
Asus GTX 1070ti 8GB
32GB Corsair DDR4 3200hz
So my specs are over the recommended
You could try to check in the Windows's Event Viewer after trying to launch the game if there is any error shown there.
is the argus scope worth it ? i have the hyperion
@spring girder wouldn't have a clue where to look honestly
For longer shots yes
You just type Event Viewer in the search bar. You open it and there you check the Windows Logs, under that you should check the Application tab, which should show the crash, and after that under the System tab, you can check if there are any system error messages under the same or around the same time stamp.
It's not mod. This's app what shows info off game so u can gather all tables and timer in another screen without need to start timer on phone, and without looking on wiki/guides(on steam)
Regardless how would you categorize that. Check rule F.
neither cheat coz it gather most important stuff from wiki to 1 app
You do you.
no point to talk with troll -_-
could anyone please suggest me a weapon for class 2-3 animals? does anything have a decent range as well or are all choices (bows/shotguns etc) around 25m effective range?
.223 rifle perhaps? (been looking for other weapon types though, as I barely have any exp in those)
ok, thanks
243 best of that class range imo
I manly use the poly tips with it
And so boring
Yeah I tried the 223 and it made me mad for how long it took to drop a youter so I went back to the 243 and I use buckshot here and there
So go bow and take with u 2 types of arrows just so u can snipe 1-2 and 3-7 within 100m
Which is what I do, ye
I do similar ;3
Altho tbh, 300gr and 350gr are useless for anything bigger than class 1
420gr does cover 2-7 so is best for that
random question, if friends without certain DLCs join your session, can they still see what happens? e.g. if I have a dog but they dont have that DLC, would they see my dog?
Yes
they should see ur dog
awesome
Yes, they can see everything. The base game installs all the DLCs content, the DLCs themselves are just tickets to access that content
yeah I love that about the game, cheers
if u have quad and they don't they just cannot sit on it
That's why you see updating ticket instead of installing whenever you get a dlc
oooh
I do use the crossbow to for for class 1/2/3 a lot as well I keep forgetting to get some more small game bolts tho
Well, if you're hosting for them and you have the ATV DLC, they can pull one themselves as well if you have it enabled
Wait hold up, Atv dlc? I thought those were always in the game
Nah
Most people think this. I think because they are buying one of the yearly edition.
They was like one the first dlcs
ATV is a DLC, you must've gotten a bundled edition
Yeah I got the game whenever vurhonga came out whenever that was.
@toxic bane this's my setup
If ya got yukon use .300 instead of 338
338 for them long range shots?
yup
if wolf is +150m i just use it as back up
Not bad~
I don't think there's reason to have both tracer and no tracer variants of every arrow, it just creates extra clutter, but you do you~
I'm just trying to spend all normal
Ah, gotcha~
The 338 on wolf's?
do tracers interact with animals in any way? spooking I mean
ohh sorry
No
Ohh ok
Nope, they just give you the blinker as a cosmetic
cool
you can get free 338 on parque fernando if you do their shooting challenge
Ok good was worried
and 338 when i'm lazy to sneak to anything
Lol
so i shot with it everything
I never use anything besides rifles, probably why I got a 94000 rifle score
Jesus
boo
I still need to level up my bow to unlock the cheaper 600 gr arrow lol
Bows, SGs, and pistols are too much work
I got 45k rifle score and abut 62k bow score now
I was doing same but bows were too sweet to not try
Me and handguns don't like each other I thank I'm trying to use them more tho
I don't like shotguns
Shotguns are fun
Yes
Only time I ever use a bow is if I want to become a native and hunt buffalo on parque
got really unlucky at begging of my adventure few years ago i just got my shotgun teleported to place i have seen group of bisons insta died coz they all rushed on me
merely did any dmg to them
Well, unless you were using 10ga slugs you had no chance vs the bison, no~
And useful for when a bobcat fox or yoter goes running by buckshot takes care of them lol
it was my 1st 5hrs when i got cotw
Oh, ic
Shotguns not gonna do a thing to buffalo for the most part in general
That's fun to go on the Yukon walk around and kill bison with slugs
i killed bison with 1 shot using focoso (back of head)
Yh unless you got slugs (couldn't be me)
but i did it after i reached lv60
Nice
Any clue when they dropping new map for console?
check when was least but not last map on pc and then on consoles
so u may get idea when u may see it on consoles
No news since Rancho release, all we know is sometime in July
Probably an update on that tomorrow?
New bugs on PC?
Yeee
Wat y'all got😆
Falling thru hunting stand floors, Couso forgets it's chambered sometimes, etc
Is the animal render glitch gone at least?
Ye
Also exciting fast travel. You never know where you'll end up.
at least 1 spawn is under the map lol
All of that sounds manageable but I'm glad the render glitch is gone
That one had me fear for my life when I shot diamonds
switching back to the m1
oh my god
Ye but at least 3 map is broken
How so?
Performance issue and sound lost on Vurhonga, Yukon, and Medved
Also fast travel broke in yukon SRP
yeah the sound issue sucks.. happens sometimes just a minute in
C'mon on yukon too☹️
The biggest issue honestly is the framerate just tanked to 20-30
That's like my 2nd most hunted map
People have experienced when fast traveling to Outposts or tents ending up at some other Outpost or tent.
In the hunting lodge whitetail deer are changing to fabled piebalds if they are common and rares are turning into Commons and coyotes are changing as well and commons can be rares rares could become commons.
Whitetail deer that did not change colors whenever you put them on the plaque on the walls the ass end is on the other side of the wall it's a full body of a deer just through the wall.
People have reported falling through lookout towers and hunting stands.
You're not able to shoot the new shotgun for the first time while aiming you have to hit fire it or something like that for you to start working it was kind of funny last night.
If you have it turned on particles are not showing up on tracks or anything like that and it is by far my most hated bug I've ever encountered in this game trying to track bobcats on the new map or anything with small tracks on any map is a pain in the ass for me render glitch didn't aggravate me this much.
People has also reported having technical/performance issues as well with some maps vurhonga seems to be the worst.
and that's pretty much all I can remember I'll stop in my head
i miss my africa
Oh I see. I was only playing on Rancho and Te Awaroa since the DLC release.
Ye im bored of Rancho already
Te awaroa seems to be a landmind of crash to desktop on multiplayer. The dev said they got multiple reports of it
I hunt on yukon and SRP for the most part
The particle bug not being on tracks is by far my most hated bug I've ever encountered in the game
^ dis
So hard to track just by blood
Especially when the animal just zig zag along the slope
Sounds like imma love it when it comes out
Sounds like a bloodhound marketing strategy
love when I'm trying to shoot prone and damn dog walks in front of me 😄
Tracking blood is not the hard part it's trying to see the little tracks when actually stalking an animal whenever it's bleeding I can at least find it but the bloodhound don't track normal tracks only tracks blood
If the bloodhound stays loyal without too many pats and expensive treat, id consider getting one
I want to shoot him sometimes when I'm about to pull the trigger and suddenly his beanie eyes are in my sights
I stopped giving anything to it, as the meter just drops like a bass
got no issues tracking stuff, as I'm not asking it to track every kill
Oh trust me he still does his job unless I have a perk to where he does it no matter what
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
anyone know how i fix?
Suggestion, having him heel instead of letting him idle will have him stay behind and to the left of you most of the time
I think your in quite the predicament there.
Close your app?
im trying now
Ok I'll try that I normally have him lay down just the times I forget to do it before fixing to try to shoot something
Hello, what are the best traits that I should select for my dog?
anything tracking really, I'd say
that worked thanks idk why i didnt think of that lmao
Always works
Mostly look at them and see what you want different people have different choices on those they tell you what they do and just see if that fits your preference I do highly recommend choosing the perk to where he has a chance of straight away finding the carcass and the one where he skips older tracks for newer ones
Pumping iron vs Full draw, which one is more important to be leveled up ?
I'd say pumping iron, full draw isn't as important if you're not planning on aiming with the bow for very long before shooting
Noted, thank you very much ❤️
Guys i think i asked yesterday but whats best for bobcats?
yea 243 fo sho
Or mosin, it also covers class 3
Any way to know the ranges for the xbow scope? Or do you just have to test it yourself
yards or meter
meter
Cool, thanks
Thanks @toxic bane
HOW TO RESPAWN ANIMALS QUICKLY
mind your caps
@atomic dock Would it be okay if I posted my write up of the Keen Eye skill in this sub? It's a bit long.
If anyone is in need of Mule Deer. The mountain lake in the top right corner has loads. The small lake has 2 afternoon drink zones. 14:00 to 17:00 appr. Also turkey, rabbit and coyote. It is forested and I had placed a blind at the brink of the lake at the northern end. Had to stop shooting animals before I eradicated the zones.
good location for both birds, bighorn, coyote, and the occasional mulie
EW needs to redesign the lookout towers and hunting stands. I want a rustic original feeling to the map. I would also like to see a change in the turkeys to make them different from the merriams.
its a good dlc, but it doesnt feel new
I'm trying to decide on perk point path, am level 14. So far I've been focusing on the top row of the stalker tree but I like the top row of both ambush and stalker trees. Is it viable to go for both?
Agreed tbh.
and Parque's hunting stands definitely need an overhaul. They're basically useless with the closed windows they have
And the loud clanging noise!
I wouldn’t mind a redesigned lookout-tower. Because the view is very limited through those windows. But then again, I only ever visit them once, for unlocking purposes.
@sacred flower You get a total of 22 skill points, so it is possible to balance both skill trees, however it's unlikely you'll be able to get the top tier active perks.
Honestly, neither top tier sounds particularly more useful to me than the lower tiers. The stalker top tier does sound a bit more useful than the ambush top tier. 🤔
Too bad the ambush tree starts with that scent skill... That sounds like the worst one.
