gray wolf drink time is 2300 to 0300
the best place to hunt wolves is wolf head lake right?
Usually
thought so
any lake on teekon forest, really
Which is around 2
i got a need zone for 3:30 - 7:00
That is feeding but yeah
does anyone know if geese r bugged?
on PC, no.
on console, yes.
oh ok
thought they was
i would be there for like 30 min and only get like 2 geese
the good news is that you might not have to deal with the bugs we PC people have to deal with rn
i got a pc just need to connect my video card to my monitor
ah
this mission refuses to be completed ive taken pictures of several different black bears.
How close were they?
probably not close enough
I used .300, .243 and 10GA in yukan pretty much all the time. Never been disappointed so far.
like 100m
Yeah that's too far
you gotta be in hug distance close
try under 30m
Once you hit level 60, what's the max amount of skill points you get?
after a certain level you stop receiving them that often
and i think it becomes like
every 3 or 4 levels
I see 🤔
okay so a quick search says its 22 skill points and 22 perk points
@toxic bane as resident bow expert, how does the 3-pin sight work in terms of where to aim in regards to distance?
it's pretty darn accurate
does anyone use dog treats? or is it not really worthwhile
It's good for a decent boost to happiness, but once you get to max it's cheaper to just pet or praise doggo every once in a while
I still like to give mine a treat after every one or every other harvest he tracks
thanks!
ye~
guys if i make a multimount can i seperate the trophies after if i want them somewhere else?
Yes
oh ok didnt know wether i would and i will have to change it at some point
Ur good
accidentally replied saying po instead of oh
Ha
now i need a diamond plains bison
That is incredibly hard gl
yep ik haha not going for one bc i cant be bothered but i still need/want one
My next diamond i am trying to get is a puma or mtn lion. Or a gold rare idk
does wind direction actually affect your bullets? or is it minimal
Yep
i see, ty
ty!
22 of each actually
why do i have 28
some people do it for speed when they walk i think
resetting skills can rarely reward you with an extra skill point
someone in my lobby was doing it
I know flinter has an extra bugged point
It might be it, honestly~
i reset just to test things
its like 60k who cares
nah its 22
i just have a bad memory app
patpat
why did i think it was 28
Lol
fr?
so i reset
spend 1
reset
spend 1
reset
spend 1
reset
spend 1
until i get the skill point?
That was a very old bug. Probably wouldn't work anymore.
tents would be a better investment lol
already capped on layton and rancho
so 700k?
how do i check how much money i've gotten
bruh
wait, like, overall?
ye
dont think there is a way to tell
hey all...i stopped playing for quite some time....came back and whenever i log into silver ridge peaks i spawn at the road starting point, despite having several missions and outposts unlocked in the reserve and if i try to fast travel it always spawns me back at the starting spawn on the road in the farthest east of the map. i cant find a single bit of info online about this and if theres a fix...anyone know?
Did you delete it before?
red deer hotspots?
#693063835828879440 Bug has been acknowledged, a fix should come with a patch at a later date (no dates given at this time).
i need some major advice for hunting geese because i have been having the worst luck for the longest time 😦
i just harvested a level 8 red deer in parque doing campaign missions does it get auto taxed bc it was in a story mission and the body was invisible or no
bc i am really bummed
does not get auto-taxied, but you can taxidermize it using the "last unsaved harvest" feature in the trophy lodge's trophy manager
how do i get to that
first, did you harvest anything after that lv8
no
i figured it out thank you
go into trophy lodge, then go into the in-game menu. trophy manager, then there will be a "last unsaved harvest"
aight cool
beware that de-render bugged animals will not have antlers in the lodge
i just figured that out the hard way
he had the rack i wanted also
UUUUUGH
NOW I GOTTA SEE IF THERE IS ANOTHER ONE AND GET CLOSE
mind yer caps
what is render distance?
415 meters
410m
roughly
k
depends on your graphical settings I think
so be under 400
Basically yeah
k
and don't take 300+ shots unless you're certain it'll go down fast
under 300 to give yourself some wiggle room
how close can i get runnigg bf without spooking
200, I think?
k
200-250 or so, then you'd wanna start walking
k when should i crouch
by the time you get close enough to crouch, you'd already be close enough to line up a good shot
but i still suggest crouching when you get that shot ready so you have a bit less sway
k thanks for the help
👌
can a level 4 axis make diamond and what is diamond trophy rating for them
check the spreadsheet on the pinned comment in #509301826869264385
k
it will answer any question about minimum diamond score for any animal
also, in general animals that max at 5, lv4 can soooometimes make it to diamond
which is the case with axis
:image.jpg:
do you get last point at level 58 or 60?
60
I JUST GOT A ALBINO RED DEER
LETTS GOOOOOOOOO
now all i need is a nice stag to get it in a multi mount with
i got a lvl 9 with a mela hind
is Zeroing perk rly worth it?
very
hmm ive heard it adds some artificial bullet drop
i mean im using it all the time so i dont have comparision
thats why im asking
well the perk doesn't add any drop
the game's ballistics work pretty much regardless of that
what's the tallest map
what the perk does is allow you to zero your crosshair to different ranges
75m
150m
300m
for most rifles
25m
50m
75m
for handguns
same with shotguns
20m
40m
60m
for bows
yep, im using it all the time @brittle summit
10m
30m
50m
for crossbow
just wondering if it was worth and of it makes a lot of difference
I'd say it helps a lot making accurate shots
both at longer and shorter ranges
hmm maybe i whould take only 1/2 instead 2/2, havent tried using scope with better zoom to make 300m shots
tbh just grab the 7mm
its accurate as hell
and flat shooting
dont need to aim too high when going for a 300m shot
gonna check those long shots on shooting range then
hows the penetration with 7mm on that range tho?
Decent on animals below moose and elk size
Tho tbh using 7mm on elk and moose is a bit of a mistake unless you have no other choice
hmm even on 150, doing 250 shots seems quite accurate, i think ill drop long shot then and just use short and normal
lick
*licks *
I GOT A ALBINO RED DEER AND A MELINASTIC AND A SOLID AXIS DEER
Pics?
Jus tin this chat or in #🦌︴trophies
i’ll do it in this one
K
let me harvest them first
I... what😂
182.20 gold axis
one secret me go to my lodge and set him up
Do it now
i play on xbox and i’m on discord on my phone
Tf no im not
then you will smell cap forever
🤦♂️
ik i can be dumb sometimes
Yep
i got a piebald diamond axis
as my 2nd diamond ever
The antlers dont look too similar
wdym
they are the exact same
i think the right one is a bit taller but that’s it
there’s the albino red deer i got like a hour and a half ago
on my map
not multiplayer
this is the multi mount with my only male red deer with horns and the albino female i want to get a bigger male like a 8 or a diamond
and can level 8 red deer with the big racks make diamond
no
guys do you use "Like a pro" perk a lot? Ive seen videos of this perk and it looks kinda awkward to use
I don’t
i got the 7mm rifle and im wondering at what range does the accuracy start to get bad
Never really
cool, thanks!
As someone with about 65k bow score, I saw how it works once and never really needed to make that kinda shot
You're either already hidden well enough while crouched to not need to take a prone shot, or your target is close enough you can crouch up and shoot before it flees
Or, you have a crossbow, which let's you shoot from prone without sacrificing your aim
With improvised blind, like a pro is rarely required
Can i borrow 1k of that points plz :)
What level does a turkey have to be for it to be diamond?
thank you 😁
NP
also i got my first diamond today!!!
Nice
I got a lvl-2 whitetail that managed to make diamond, a melanistic whitetail, and then a piebald mule doe, all today
Lyra
?
Can u answer something important
Depends on what it is
well that's a paradoxical one
My life is a lie😭
this is called the pinocchio paradox
Ok so another question why is the pizza box a square but the pizza is a circle and the slice is a triangle
whoever invented pizza really liked geometry
slices dont always have to be triangles, they can also be squares
but this should probably be in #🦝︴off-topic
and pizzas are sometimes squares aswell
box being a square allows for easy access to the circular shape of the triangular slice of pizza
🙂
To general chat I go
what are the landmarks for?
Just lore and whatnot, mostly
okay, thanks
each one is a grave for a baden
is poly tip always better than soft?
yes
Yes. With the current scoring system you need a vital hit and quick kill doesn’t matter so poly is always better
then why does soft exist lol
on the old scoring system, soft points could sometimes be beneficial
Well because they are a common type of ammunition. Plus the old scoring system they were useful
cheaper too
How did the old scoring system differ from this current one?
It was a score up to 1000 and quick kill and consecutive harvests factored in
How many animals can you kill with a bow in one spot before it ruins a need zone?
15
Thanky
I would keep it to 8 or 9 though. I’ve had some zones delete from 3x hunting pressure and there were still animals in said herd 🤷🏽♂️
thinking of saving for the 7mm regent magnum as my upgrade from the default, any objections?
A very solid investment
Very good gun
then scope after
Hyperion scope should be first investment then 7mm IMO
Much easier to kill and get more money with scope. Will just speed up the process
how do i take my scope off quickly like flinter
Middle mouse button
ok
With ps4 double click up and then x
tanks im pc
i had same problem with wolves attacking me and defending myself with a scoped gun is real hard
so thank
which map should i use to earn money quick (just started playing this game yesterday btw)
Which platform, which DLCs?
pc and i got all map dlcs
Only map dlc, no equipment DLCs?
nope im gonna buy them later tho
Alrighty
Well, I'd then suggest starting at Layton and doing story missions
They give a good bit of info on how to play, particularly Layton, and allow you to gain decent cash and xp quickly
Other than that, killing as many animals as you can (properly ofc) is usually a good way to get money and xp quick
The absolute best way to make cash on PC rn I would say is goose hunting, but there's a couple equipment DLC you need to make it viable and efficient
which dlcs
The goose DLC, for decoys and blinds
Any one DLC that includes a shotgun with birdshot you don't need to level up shotguns for, or a pack with a 22LR weapon
Tents and Tripods, to make your life easier
Rancho does come with a shotgun but it's slightly bugged rn
And from what I've been told you can't unlock its birdshot straight away,
...I'm tempted to check that myself but I'm trying to GO grind rn
welp I can always move the file and then put it back
Was about to say~
Whoever told you that lied.
No score requirement on 16ga birdshot.
Huh, well then
Actually hm
Do you think that is because of the drilling rifle being a thing?
More than likely, yes
Hey @obsidian vessel, could you do us a favor and check if you can buy 16ga birdshot on the shop?
Don't have to buy it, just check
oh im not on pc right now
D'oh, no worries~
i can tell later when i get on pc if you want
Sure thing~
you can also start in whichever map you want, technically
all have tutorial messages
though I'd strongly advise against any of the maps named in the recent article in #693063835828879440
yeah i know but i just wanted to know most efficient way to make money
oh in that case
Hirschfelden.
Geese = big money
though you'd need birdshot for those things
They only have map DLCs tho
and once they get something with birdshot, geese is how to get money.
No decoys tho
ah
But yes
Guys does medved have an audio glitch?
Ok
hello my game always crashes when loading so that I can't play anymore. I had this problem two weeks before uptate already. after the uptate I was able to play again but now it crashes again.
do types of goose decoy actually matter (sentry/searching/feeding)? and does the semi-realistic placement pattern matter?
cool, thanks
does the scent eliminator work
not well-
everytime i use it the animals just keep giving warning calls anyhway
im crouchwalking.......
the scent eliminator works up to certain distance
from 150m away...
for me it's like around 60m before they bolted
the coyote was 90m away :(
i need coyotes for my mission 😭
it's so hard to find one
and this one just poofed
i just keep caller with me
when they do the warning thing, use caller like 3x while crouching or prone
omg this coyote literally walked to my face and did a warning call
that's 1 out of 2 💀
and the feed zone literally disappeared
also how rare are male blacktail deers
they're literally impossible for me to find...
not so rare, try the lake during their drinking hour
i've only encountered 35 females and 1 male so far
:(
i can't be that unlucky can i
yea in the herd usually there are like 5 doe and 1 male
the thing is i don't even encounter herds i just encounter single does
i haven't seen a single herd of blacktails on layton....
my cotw wont start when i have my ps4 controller plugged in 😦
Try the Roonachee lake on the bottom left from 5 PM
roonachee's on the left no?
When I'm hunting foxes or coyotes I go into a bush or tree when I'm "invinsible". Then I just use the caller and eventually they come. I also use the cent eliminator and I have all the skill on those visibility skills. They can come like 10m from me
How ever on that close aster few seconds they realize me
Oh yeah :D but the bush is good place
got my 2nd coyote tho
was looking for blacktails and somehow all the coyotes come out after like 3 days of trying to hunt them
💀
Hunting coyotes requires patience
But they are relatively easy to hunt when you just have nerves for waiting :D
try to look for their hotspots and timing
after that it's matter of discovering need points and patience
ngl it's such an ass to hunt
Yeah. The money is good but hunting is so slow that it's not worth it
Anything good at that little lake up there?
shit load of mule deer
at drink time
i have a smol albino mule deer
@heady canyon
If you go to Belmont lake 0700 to 0930
Hunt the se,sw,and ne corners. U will see plenty of bt. When you want another good location dm me.
oh ok i'll try it out, ty!!
this. I HAVE SEEN HIM 3 TIMES
shoot it!
Chase him
and also i have a pistol
bring out your 12g 😎
cant fit
What are y’all talking abt
big turkey
Oh nice
thank you!!!!!! i finally got my stupid male deer mission done T_T
Quick question: so when i claim an animal, it shows me my shot path and the organs of the animal, how do i make it so i see the way the fur looks? (On ps4 btw)
R2 iirc
@brittle summit okay thank you so much!
known bug
I can't crawl out or anything, there are rocks blocking my path
avoid
k
Is there any difference in difficulty getting a GO on different maps?
Theoretically no. But people have found Rancho to be a lot easier than Layton due to its terrain, vegetation (or lack of), and for some reason herd sizes
ok
not true bc i just found one over 2k
Should i move lake bc of hunting pressure?
Spreadsheet said that
spreadsheet wrong then
yea
ur slow
?
ur using lb right
If ur using lb i literally said 1250kg/2756lb
Why did a 22 shot make the mocha moose flee?
It was 15 meters away from it
And it was calm
Well i took a pic
Was I supposed to shoot it?
yes. it looks like you've already deleted some need zones
yeah fully forgot tbh
Because you have an option to shoot it and it is normal animal that will flee to stuff like that
It was a player option your choice was to shoot it or take a picture
But reports have showed and seen that it still exists on your map one day you might come across it and get to kill it
I thought you could take a picture of it and then shoot it I was wrong so I'm hoping I come across it one day because I really really wanted that moose
Ik but it wouldve gone alert than fleeing immediately
Mine hauled ass immediately after I took the photo
Same lol
So I chased it up the mountain through the woods for 5 mins following its call because the damn thing didn't leave tracks and when I was about to have a shot it went off the side of the hill and I lost it
What is the best time for wolves in yukon
Hay I thought she sayed take pic then shoot
I hunt day time looking for rest zones
ok ill try that so around 12:00?
Sure
Any time between 7 and 19 walk around the burned Forest looking for tracks is what I do and then I follow the tracks and looking and keeping an eye out for the pack
You might have a better chance starting around 8:00 or 9:00 and you could possibly find the tracks from them moving that night better
But they usually change rest zones about halfway through so 12 I say is also a good time
ok ill do 8
Just always be on your toes and listen because the little fuckers will somehow be behind you and attack you every once in awhile
Do you have the bloodhound?
yes
Pay attention to when he starts growing because that means there is predatory animals nearby
Or she
It has saved me more than once on being snuck up on
i like when theyre aggro but not if they all attack me at once
Yes when there is like three or four all after you at once it is not fun at all
What's your weapons of choice?
yeah like a full pack attacked me but i killed an albino and then a diamond so they all ran
m1
Ayy same it with the soft points is what I use
i use polymer so i can double lung
They drop instantly with double lung correct?
yeah
Hmm might switch to that
yeah u should try it
Also the large lake on the left side of the map that is connected to the burned force that has The Outpost right on it the watchtower that is south of that Outpost just in the red fields I have gotten on top of it and looking around and found two or three packs resting before I can't remember the name of the outpost/watchtower
ok ill go there after ive went through burned
Just be careful because walking to the watchtower can be dangerous I died one time hunting with someone I attempted to kill a wolf with a 44 and failed lol one of the few times I've actually died by an animal
haha
Brightside is I'm guessing you're hunting on PC so with the update fixing the render glitch you don't have to worry about dying and losing animals you've killed
yep im pc
Should be set I also recommend possibly bringing the distressed fawn call in case you're in more denser vegetation areas you might be able to call them in to open areas
I think the jackrabbit one also works can't remember tho
guys any bow/crossbow recommendations for each - small/medium/big game ?
pick your favorite of the bows. all bows can accept three different arrow types for small, medium, and large game
Yup. Pretty much all down to preference unless you're shooting in strong winds. Then the crossbow is the clear winner
I dont know who needs this or if its even common knowledge but on Xbox you can do the whistle to alert animals by holding rb
Any info on if they are going to fix the hunting structure bug
should be fixed next patch, you can see known issues and the progress here https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403079961874-theHunter-Call-of-the-Wild-Known-Issues-Rancho-Del-Arroyo-
EW isn't Bethesda, thankfully
yeah atleast they dont release multiple versions of a decade old game with the same bugs that were in the original lol
ah thank you
What level does a moose have to be for it to be diamond potential?
yeah most things max at 5
all predators max at 9
red deer, cape buffalo, and water buffalo also reach 9
though out of all those ones, only water buffalo can hit diamond at 8
Is there a pronghorn caller?
Nope
Is lower neck a vital?
all neck sections count as vital iirc
Once I did other one and lost all my progress from the last day which was all outposts on rancho 😬
Hey guys need help cotw won’t run on my Pc everything is updated and I have reinstalled 3 times and it still won’t run I hit start in steam and I dosnt open or anything
reinstall steam
If I do that will I have to install all my games again?
yeah
yeah that def sounds like a Steam problem
but if that doesn't work, it's probably your computer
verify the integrity of your game files
Yeah already down verify integrity and double checked all drivers and everything are updated..I hit play in steam and it looks like it start then it does nothing and play button pops back up again
yeah that happened to me with a different game a while back, i uninstalled steam and reinstalled it and it worked
I completely uninstalled steam and reinstalled it and reinstalled cotw and it’s still not running its doing the same thing
Have you ran the program as administrator
How do I do that?
It used to run when I had a crappy gpu but was that laggy I didn’t play…ive now upgraded gpu and reinstalled cotw and it won’t run
This is all I get when trying to run as administrator and I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled and get the same thing
I will post a video dms of how to fix it, It is late for me and I am very lazy lol
@pine ore thanks
It worked like a dream👌
Nice
What was the fix about, for the record?
On multiplayer is the chat proximity
text isnt, not sure about voice
I'm not sure, i dont think mine is on to beginwith
turn it off and use something else
r duck broken on ps4?
U wot
r ducks broken on ps4
They seem to be to me. They are nothing like they used to be.
They don't come to my decoys anymore at all. Geese just don't respawn until you clear their hunting pressure.
Kill other animals on the map in various spots until all of the pressure has went away. Using a tripod or concealment equipment will help tremendously
what do u play on ?
Playstation and PC both
Is the 7mm still good to use for big game?
Imo yes very much so as long as you're using the polymer tips it won't kill it immediately but it will kill it if you hit a vital
Hi hunters when I step into a perch then I bug down into the stilts. Does anyone know this problem?
yeah i nkow but i will use it 🤣
It's a known bug. I'm sure they'll have a fix coming soon
Where to seek for red deer in hirschfelden ?
i was calling like crazy next to few lakes but nothing
Ok question. I shoot a bird with my revolver and it disappears. Completely gone cannot find it, what is the problem. I just shot a bird in a open field with my revolver, saw where it went down, and its not there. Has happened to me before. I was ontop of a lookout point, a bird came flying by close and so i shot it with my revolver. It dropped down near some trees but i couldnt find it. Is this some glitch or am i just bad at finding my bird kills?
yes
wdym, all the kills were within like 20 feet
just shot another, saw where it went down, no trace of it
Well then idk
here hold on
ill do it again and ill clip it
well shiet, out of ammo. Whatever, im probably just not looking hard enough
ok yeah, I placed a marker exactly where the bird is, nothing there
How do you heal yourself
medkit or sleep
Thanks
Hey guys what is the best map for red deer?
Te Awaroa or Cuatro
ok do u know any videos for where to find them on awaroa?
Hmmm no but if you go to the movie set ive seen lots of big ones up there
ok thanks
Np
is the .7mm regent the gun with only 1 bullet per magazine?
oo....
i was planning to get the .7mm for shooting but i guess i'll just wait for the .300....
remember 7mm is 4-9 while .300 only does 7-9
which makes the .300 way better for those bigger games, but still
yee but i have the .243 for 2-6 anyway
maybe getting the .7mm will be worth it still because of the extra 4k rifle score that i need..
might as well get the proper ammo types for moose and bear
7mm will be leagues easier to use than the .243 on 4s and higher
specially the big class 6 deer
ok i'll get the .7mm then
just wondering, how long does it take for the .7mm to reload?
relatively fast or extremely slow (muzzleloader speed)
yish
About 3-4 seconds with no perks. Nowhere near as long as the muzzleloader
that means your game is saving~
2.8 secs without any of the reload perks I believe like 1.9 with all three perks
need 2 more kills for polymer bullets x.x
Oh boy
Once you get polymer tips you can relatively easily hunt water buffalo cape buffalo and bison with it you normally will only get a single long shot but it usually takes only about 75 yards of running for it to die which is not much off from the 300 which normally takes about 50 to 75 yards to die with a single long shot
And imo teamed up with the Hyperion scope it is very very accurate all the way out to render and you will drop deer with a single shot at render with it with polymer tips pretty much it still gets most of the time a double long shot
Hey there, I am Youp an 17 year old guy from The Netherlands.
I’ve downloaded this awesome game yesterday on my PlayStation 4.
It sadly keeps crashing whenever I try to hop on.
I’ve already tried re-installing it a few times but it still keeps crashing.
So I did not to get to play the game yet but I’d really want to start playing, haha.
Tips are welcome! :puppylove:
Did you make a ticket to EW?
Nope, where can I do that?
It looks like it is inside #693063835828879440 do I still report it or are they aware enough?
Report it anyways
well the second to last mission on rancho is bugged for me, itried to reset it by closing the game and restarting but the dialogue after inspecting things did not trigger
not sure how to fix it
Just wait. It'll trigger after a while.
it just did after i changed graphics setting to try to get a better framerate in the casa grande
is there any place i can learn about respawn mechanics properly? online info is kinda confusing
Wdym?
well i keep reading different time lines for respawns and concepts that involve herd management but with a lot of maybes and mights, and usually from a year or more ago
was wondering if there was a more consolidated resource
No one knows exactly how the respawns work. All the info you’ll find is based on the experience of players
ah i see
@heady canyon im old time the hunter player... My first bought rifle after .243 was 7mm and those 2 are quite a pair. 7mm is only a single bullet rifle but reload is pretty fast. .300 is the best heavy prey rifle but 7mm has the higher spectre of animal you can hunt. From the wild boar and F-deer, R-deer to the bison. I agree that in this day and age .270 rifle is not worthy but 7mm is a worthy rifle you can gain plenty of levels and money with.
7mm is a solid investment
it really is.... i still dont know what would be the perfect pair for my Mosin
Depends on the map.
rancho del arroyo seems to be really hard for my system to deal with most other maps i get decent framerates for my system
im getting lots of stuttering
hirch has some stuttering, but not as bad as rancho
either a 22 or a 300, depending on the map
assuming you don't care for lv2
usually only low calibre i have with me are the blue arrows
should i buy another game to satisfy my boredom when WT grinding, or get 2 months of nitro
basically i love to have 2 rifles with me and a bow
Then the .300 it is since small game arrows cover class 1 and 2.
a hunter after my own heart
i cant because i have lost that rifle when i went to the legal side
You did the what?
well, then the loadout should be bow, and whatever you can't easily get with bows
which depends on the map
i was the bad guy for 5 years but this summer i have seen the light
I mean. Yukon is a solid investment, just for the gun alone, and the map is pretty fun too so not a bad purchase.
@toxic bane i love Mosin as my base rifle
give me a map and I'll give you a loadout that complements having a bow as your primary
@spring girder i have all maps beyond last one at very high level
i know all maps
its just i went legal and only have Basic 2 maps + my fav Medved taiga
well for super duper animals i still have basic .383 (forgot the real number)
If you don't have the .300 you can just go with either the 7mm or the .338.
which i use
^
lets just say i have made my own pack with the weapon packs + dog + medved taiga... i have the shotgun from russian map but i dont use shotguns much
all weapon packs?
ah, so no garand
gudgud
Layton:
- Bow should cover everything but mallards, since those are tougher to get in the middle of the water (unless you're really good)
- .243 mostly for coyotes, as an opportunity kill or if you'd rather not do the whole spot n stalk for them specifically
- Mosin for up to bears (assuming elk and moose are more than ok with bow)
Can replace .243 with .22LR for specifically duck hunting
mosin is 243 + 270
minus the class 2
Only ducks i have hunted were the ones from the missions
not a single duck or rabbit or fox i hunted for fun
any peccary spots? (drink time)
Hirsch:
- Bow, again, for everything you can reliably kill with the bow
- .243 for foxes, same reason as coyotes on Layton
- Mosin can kill up to red deer, but if you're hunting specifically euro bison consider replacing either this or the .243 with a .338
@toxic bane by the way my fav maps in the game (from all of them) is Hirschfelden and Medved
I like the german map because its the same kind of scenery I have in continental Croatia
red deer spots on hirch?
Medved:
- I really like the arctic camo crossbow on medved, but that's personal preference
- .243 for musk deer
- Mosin will cover everything except for musk deer and moose
camo is pog
That's the reason I love Hirsch too. It's exactly like the place where I live, the scenery, the sounds everything.
For me it was so funny when people asked me what is the end game "enemy" on Medved... I had to laugh.
when you have Medved in the name and on the map sign
@spring girder i also like medved because some winters are like that (not last years, but before they were)
I have never liked the snow and cold but that map is great for its vibe
hirch reminds me of poland
its close enough
peccary drink spots?
bobcat drink spots?
fine
The NZ map also seemed nice... combination of Europe and tropical setting
Spanish map made me climb and climb and climb.... wanted to cry but still got those missions.
Some maps are a bit similar vibes... Like all of the north/south american maps
Rancho is the mexican ?
i have never tried mexican
Yucon had nice colors and interesting red vs white scenery
Also the dynamic snow weather effect is pretty neat.
snow in medved is always a screenshot worthy
Sorry - this whole game was always the best for screenshots
People always think its real
Agreed. It's still beautiful even after all these years.
Engine is great for the scenery and vibes but a bit weird with bodies and animal animations
im playing this GOLD mission in Hirsch and seems all reds and bisons are a bit light
always missing some kilograms
wow. lucky liver
silver.... lol
i get silver every shot i make 😄
but only had maybe 2-3 diamonds in 5 years
just got 2 troll level 4 geese
That's just really nice L4 geese
also gotten two bald lucistics
Hecc
Bald leu is the only one I'm missing
But yeah, only max levels are considered trolls if they don't make diamond
i just sniped two geese out of the air with the 22lr
and just did a third
all three were at really bad angles
im surprised i managed to do it 3 times
not something i regularly try to do
Hey guys I'm low level just started, any tips?
I typically wasn't running anywhere trying to keep it realistic but recently I have and it doesn't seem too bad
I shot a rabbit with .270 lmao
how much was left
Didn't check but they were annoying me with their warning thumps so yknow
they bug me on layton
Yeah same
I'm still on xbox one x so yknow
i have pc, i dropped consoles after i got this computer, but its still kicking so i keep using it till i can replace it
Anyone have good springboard spots?
Idk man
i dont think springboards are huntable
Springboks are just around
Try the north east lake
I forgot the name, but it's the one that has permanent hunting pressure on multiplayer lol
are you trying to load into a friend's lodge?
No that’s what showed up when I tried to enter one of mine in single player
bruh
bobcat is camping my peccary
It adjust your bullet/arrow drop
So you can hit target on the mark without having to compensate for the drop
It's most people go to perk
is for peccary?
hello ! is there a website, forum that shows score/weight for the different variants of every animal from : nothing to diamond ?
pinned message
oh, yea right i didn't see the link, ty !
Can bobcats turn aggro?
peccary sure can
I have a friend who will argue that point, he was attacked by like 4
Bobcat?
yep in rancho
That’s strange, none of them have bothered me
they dont bother me either, but ive seen him get attacked
Maybe they dislike him, lol
he says "they do a kinda lunge and just hit u" then keep going
like a lion, but the lion turns around
I got side swiped by a lion so hard that my character went from first person to third person and was t-posing
could probably jump in an MP with him and watch him get mauled
Well that's pretty interesting
what's peccary aggro rate
not high enough
darn
^
This game is so cool
i see you have discovered ATV space program
LMAO
best peccary shotgun?
cacciatore
It happens wayyyyyyy to often
no it doesnt
Bro what
yes
To me it does
Damn
What?
nvm
Me saying it happens way to often isn't an opinion bro lmao
At least the ATVs flinging you cross map isn’t realistic. Imagine making one wrong move IRL and find yourself in another state
It does get annoying but tbh it's funny even though I was traveling to a Lookout tower
AcTuAlLy tHeY cAnT tRaVeL pAsT sTaTe LiNeS
I uhhhhhh can't fast travel out of the outpost I'm currently at? If I choose a different one it just spawns me back here
PC, SRP?
^
Ah
#📜︴support has an article on known bugs, this particular one is acknowledged
Gotta wait for a patch
That's annoying, thank you
I m new at cotw can some help
If I restart my game do I loose my trophy’s in the lodge?
Nope.
at least, not on PC.
not sure about console
i just got a brown hybrid goose
Nice
They're fairly uncommon, but not as rare as the other feather types
They're also the most easy to recognize
Yeah what do you need?
Do geese pull in money?
Oh yeah
$900 on average per goose, flocks of about 6-8 members, and after the Rancho patch they come in frequently
With a pump action shottie you could easily be killing a goose per minute
I've really only just started
geese are really good money, i started with 20k and am up to 60k after taxidermy for a couple of bald lucistics and a brown hybrid plus a ton of 16 ga bird shot
I got a good like 10,000 to my name after 270 and bow buying
Newish to the game, I presume~?
Yep level 7
😅
Heccu~
None.
Well, the goose thing kinda needs the goose decoy DLC to really work
So you know, next steam sale if you're needing some creds, consider it~
That's fair~
It's pretty good
got my money up to 65k from 20k today
with a couple taxidermy and a crap ton of 16 ga bird shot
oh yeah, plus before i pull the trigger i hit reload anyway
its become a reflex action at this point
also 40 K credits is about my average for a day of geese hunting
About 40 birds, not bad~
And hey, it might not be your thing, but give manual chambering a try
nah, hate that on rifles, don't mind so much on the shotgun, i kind of expect it
It makes it so you have to tap R to chamber rounds
Ah, alright~
I've been using it for a while and honestly kinda prefer it
also just after the render bug was acknowledged i deleted my save and started over, the codex thing set off my ocd
i did make a backup of it prior to wiping it
stares with 420k+ money
i had about 33k when it happened
glances at 2.5M credits
i wish i had that
why u 2.1m up me
I don't really buy hunting structures or tents~
for me goose is where its at, rancho for some reason has stuttering issues for me
Goose = OG money farm
mostly around the casa gande but all over the map i run into it and it makes hunting hard
Tbf, geese and javalinas have the same difficulty, so they both pull the same average cash per kill
still is a money farm @brittle summit
