Geese are a bit easier to farm in bulk tho
plus i have a setup on hirsch that i like to use
ammo costs < animal farm
Oh yeah
if i dumped all my money right now i would probably have a couple thousand rounds of 16ga bird shot
And if you're good, that's 2 orders of magnitude of profit per shot
$15 round for $800-$1100 carcass
assuming you don't miss
just did the math and if i dumped my money into 16ga bird shot i would have over 4330 rounds
cries in fat hand
that would last me quite a while
An with an average of 900 per goose, and assuming we just take one shot per kill
$3'897.000
i use buckshot on javelinas
Which is what
$3'832.000 profit~?
(only got 1 before, and may i say i’m not proud of the 1st one)
Solid investment if you ask me~
redid the math, as i wasnt sure if my screenshot i pulled my credit count from was quite right adn im also not sure if i am doing the math right, my calc is 67175/150 x10
each part is done as a seperate calculation
so 67175/150 , then multiply by 10
i think
Yeah that looks bout right to me~
And about 4M credits of possible reward exclusively from goose hunting~
?
nvm
I can do that for ya~
not sure what the price of 12ga birdshot is
How much is the 10 pack of 12ga?
Ah, you did it yourself~
wait whats the price of 12ga birdshot?
sorta
Maybe also round n down to the closer multiple of 150
no
so my math is right
So you don't get fractional shells
i just ignore them if they are < 10
fine. I’ll take two thirds of this mela diamond goose
also are geese the easiest animal to grind
camp in field
call

pick up
hear geese
blast
be sad
Inb4 repeated message warning
this is what i get > 4,478.3333333333333333333333333333 but i ignore the 8.3 repeating and round down
Thats my geese hunting process
how can u check your missions? or how do u know if u got any? it seems like i camee back to game and i cant find my missions 😦
This part is nearly impossible now before hearing the next honk
missions tab
Quick shortcut to missions tab is F5
on my next day off from working i am going to be working on getting the .303 from te' awara from the missions and buying a crap ton of ammo for it
at least i think its the .303
That is a lot of dead geese
About 26 million~
It is
i love geese hunting, its relaxing for me
but then the next day i hear the honks in my mind all day long
Me personally wish this one rate was just a hair bit lower like a sweet spot before the update and after
You know you're a goose hunter when
yup
when i went for goose hunting, sometimes i hear goose in my mind, but there are actually no goose
Noh, it would be 29k
i think the most i did prior to the patch screw up was 60k in one day
For 26M cash
should always take a break from goose hunting
i like the rate now, its a little slower than it was
3k more gees
Wow
I haven't shot 3,000 animals in general
My geese weren't completely dead on my Hirsch, so I could get away with goose hunting even before Rancho
Was way slower, but still worked~
I can be proud one of my mela goose is before the Rancho patch
What are ways to not get bored of the game?
Shoot other animals
I have no dlcs
Then hunt something you dont normally hunt
And what's the best way to get/track bigger animals
kill moar males
How does that get bigger animals, respawn animals?
the respawns may be larger than the animal you killed
Okay, I just want bigger animals and something that's worth tracking
4 common diamonds and 2 silver melanistics
Do y'all get servers for multiplayer? You can normally visit any map you want if someone is hosting a public lobby
Makes it easy to play any map in the game for free
Idt we get servers because you can't pick out a selected server which makes me mad
Hecc
Maybe if someone trustworthy is on #🦌︴find-a-game you could get some of that action
do bodies despawn?
after harvested
i lost a few bodies after shooting a lot of fallow deers @.@
they could've glitched out
don't know if i can find them all lol
So don't know if it's been asked but on silver ridge, just opened the hide that's between two ponds. Every time I try get up in it it puts me in the base and I can't get out unless I fast travel. Us there a way of fixing this
I have tried restarting the game and now have deleted and redownloading it as I type. Any other hints. As I play multi player most days abd don't want others to get stuck in it too
@vapid geode it's a bug with this patch
Ah right thanks.
Yes and they are supposed to respawn as The identical animal after they do but if you don't pick up a body I think he despawns after like a day and then it will respawn later on as identical animal supposed to be
oo okay thanks for the info
Anytime
i was running around like a headless chicken with my shiny new toy and there were like 50 fallow deer
Lol
Are you on console or PC?
If you're on console it still has the render glitch where animal bodies go invisible after they go out render if you're on PC that has been fixed
on PC
hello Guys I have a problem in COTW namely that I suddenly no longer hear all sounds to no more sounds can someone help me please
This is a reported issue
oh ok
#📜︴support has an article on known bugs, sounds in a couple maps have been acknowledged as bugged, just gotta wait for a patch
How do you get that info with the health and if vital organs were hit right after shooting? I think I remember seeing that in a video somewhere, that or I'm confusing it with something else
My game keeps crashing when loading in or when I am like 5 minutes into an reserve, i'd play on a ps4. Tips are welcome.
its a skill
What's the name? can't find it
track knowledge
spotting knowledge
I’d suggest searching on Google or what have you to see if there’s people with the same issues or people who can shed light on a potential solution
Reddit may be a good place to start
Do any other female antlered/horned animals besides female gemsbok make gold?
@fierce wave i believe almost any type of buffalo or bison can make gold as female
you just have to be lucky
Hmmm see I got a bighorn the was 122.90 that was female which is just 11 points off of gold
i would guess that bighorns could make it too
but ive never seen a bighorn over gold personally
*over silver
🤔
wait
can you place a tent on the yukon bridge?
the very top one
nope-
but i learned something!
instead of MLG medkit
because that's patched
you MLG tent!
Oh, you can place a tent as you're about to hit the ground and that'll port you to the tent?
that's assuming that the ground you are landing can accommodate your tent right ?
And that you can sacrifice 6 pounds just to occasionally jump off a tower/cliff
puts away my 470
6lb has been freed lol
Anyone else having issues with half their sound disappearing/being heavily delayed?
It's a known big should be fixed in the next update
yes
is it possible that certain missions reduce the ratings of the new spawned animals?
Hey guys I’m playing on Mexico unlocking outposts and lookouts and there dosnt seem to be any outposts up the top right part of the map…is that right or is my game bugging out?
I just started the game, what’s the easiest way to find all need zones and outposts?
Spawn the 4wheeler through the inventory menu at first outpost and discover them all before you start hunting, will make it easier
There are none
Hello everyone, i bought the game 4 days ago. I now start to consider in which direction I have to upgrade my hunting gear. I started the game using the free .270 that the game gave me for some kind of event and I felt it incredibly underperforming. It failed to hit lungs or heart due to the low penetration of the starting bullet
Then I found that polymer .243 are way more powerful and it allows me now to hunt deers and smaller game without issues.
So I'd like to get a new rifle to be able to hunt bigger game without losing the ability to hunt deers. So I'd like to buy a new rifle. I consider buying a DLC in order to get a 30-06 rifle. Does this caliber could be the right one for me ?
( I know that there are bigger free guns but I fear that magnum rounds will be too much for deers)
The 7 mm is probably the best investment you can make. There is nothing you can hunt with the 30-06, that you can't with the 7 mm, and as a bonus, you can also hunt class 9 animals (buffalo, bison, lion) with it.
The one weapon pack I absolutely recommend to buy no matter what, is Weapon Pack 1, it comes with the .22LR which is the only rifle for small game, otherwise you have to use shotgun/bow.
Later if you enjoy the game and want to go hard on deer grinding, I recommend buying the Smoking Barrels Weapon Pack, it comes with the semi-auto M1, which uses the 30-06 ammo and it's very useful for taking down multiple animals quickly. And the Yukon Valley DLC which comes with the .300, which is the best gun for class 7-9 animals.
My upgrade path:
- .270 (with polymer ammo)
- 7mm
- .300 (from Yukon DLC) + .270
occassionally carry .243 as well for smaller class game
then i bought dlc and swap .270 with M1
before 7mm, i had my drilling shotgun for taking down class 9, but that's come from weapon pack 2 DLC
Thanks for your answers I will buy the 7mm rifle and replace my .243. I 'll keep the shotgun to kill small game because I hate .22lr but that's not my main goal atm
id still carry .243 for smaller games, depending on the reserves
What kind of animals can I not shoot with 7mm that I can hunt with .243 ?
Class 2-3, so basically: Red Fox, Coyote, Roe Deer, Musk Deer, Lynx, Jackal, Springbok, Blackbuck, Axis Deer, Chamois, Feral Goat, Bobcat.
lynx and bobcat too
Ok thanks, most of these are too small for me to spot in the forest. I'll keep my 243 in the locker just in case.
Well. You can't sell it, or throw it away, so not like you have any other choice but to keep on you or in your locker.
inb4 legendary coyote just walk pass you, but you don't have .243 with you
There is no reason to not to keep it in your loadout.
.243:
Um. Yeah. What he was saying is that he won't keep the .243 on himself, because the animals for it are too small, and not, that he won't keep it on himself, because he wants to use something else for those animals.
So weight reason doesn't really apply. And beside that it's not smart to have holes in your loadout for certain classes. You never know what appears before you.
I mean yeah, always keep your loadout covering all the classes of the reserve you're hunting on
But I'd much rather a bow than the 243
now .223, THAT i hate with passion
I'm not sure yet how the sounds work in-game but since i feel like my character is so loud that my gran could hear me walking at 3 km I try to be as light as possible
The weight you are carrying has no effect on how loud you are.
Unless you are using backpacks. Those are loud as heck.
Oh ok that seems strange but then I'm keep as much as I can without backpack
do you always run to wherever you want to be ?
That's the smart thing to do. You should use space you have as much as possible. If it's not enough, you can always grab the Pack Mule skill, which give you like 3 extra kilos without increased noise.
Nope I started walking but now I am almost always crouching because I get 2 red Sound bars while walking
Hirschfelden ?
Get the Soft Feet skill. That will help you out a lot with noise levels.
And improvised blind
I rush this skill but gaining lvl is kinda slow
Shrubbery will be your best friend
Yep. That's another almost mandatory skill.
Could you remind me what is this skill?
Improvised blind makes it so that foliage that would hide you, hides you even better
tbf Hirschfelden is very difficult map
I got both skills already and still feel like animal can hear me 1 km away
It allows you to sometimes be standing up against a bush and still be completely hidden
But more than that it makes hiding in shrubs far more consistent
I Feel that animals hear me way more than they see me
Soft feet takes priority then, but you'll still want both in the long run
you are correct
It makes sense, a friend of mine bought the Spanish map where there are more rocks than grass
It's a really nice map and I think that I 'll buy it too to be able to play it alone
I had more luck hunting there
i think that stat is always so high because when people are running around the spook animals
when you launch yourself with ATV explore the outposts with ATV tbh
also your gunshot is like loud af
all DLCs map tbh are easy mode compared to Hirschfelden
I didn't tried the others but hirschfelden and the Spanish one are really different yet both stunningly beautiful
Maybe because as an European I feel more like at home in Europe But I think that the free us map don't have the same magic in it
My friend got headbutted to death by an ibex but no wolves so far
.243 is a good gun but there are things like the mosin which outshine it
The mosin looks nice especially for the history of the weapon but I'm afraid that the only ammo it has lacks penetration
Speaking of this, why are there fake weapon name in the game. Licence for guns especially for mosin and garand shouldn't cost that much
unfortunately mosin doesnt cover class 2
Yeah. The Mosin won't replace the .243.
The 7.62 performs better than what the penetration stat would suggest
It's still one of my favorite guns, I just hope they fix the accuracy issues
how wonky is it right now ?
Can you use modern scopes with it ?
i do feel like my shots are not accurate on long range w mosin
It's still accurate if you have it with the Argus at max zoom
But if you zoom out, or use the Hyperion, it shoots down and to the right a fair bit
Sounds like an optics setup issue
I'd say that the rifle is accurate Howerver the scope isn't aligned with the bullet s trajectory
nodnod
Anyway I d love a wwII rifle pack with Springfield, mauser98, lee Enfield and a 40 something variant of the mosin
I'm still holding out hope for a .308 Remington 700
Should I grind my way to unlock the normal 7mm rifle, or just work up enough money for the color variant.
Either one is fine
Good to know, I checked the stats and didn't see a difference so I figured I'd ask here
Both are basically identical
Cool, so the only choice I need to make is what color I prefer.
Color variant?
What
Is there a different version of the 7mm I don't know about
there is
WHAT
it came with some physical copies
Maybe one day.
Of course it does it would be one of the main color events I would care about the most
Because that is my favorite gun in the game
is anyone here?
yes?
nope
im useing i5-3230m and gt740m to play cotw,but the game say your nvidia graphics driver is older then version 430.86
and in the nvidia website the most higher version i can get is 425.31
it still can play,but every 30mins the game will be crash
Is there a difference between they types of 6.5
No, those are just color variants.
So why do people want the rayo so bad. Just to flex?
Yeah and it looks awesome.
anyone help?
The GT740M is below the minimum reqs. I think.
I honestly dont care what my gun looks like. Thanks tho
but steam say NVIDIA GTX 660 / ATI HD7870 - 1GB VRAM
740m got 2g vram
is the game have email to reply
It’s a masochistically long grind
Why would you want to do something. If it is painful
And I (un?)fortunately am a masochist
The GTX 660 is a much stronger card than the GT740M
yeah i know
For medium deer, yes. Keep the .243 tho cuz it is very good for smol predators and the smaller deer like roe deer
so its not about vram
Okey thanks, im new to he game and don't really know anything about weapons and stuff
I like my stylish weapons
is there a place to report modders?
They cant do anything to modders ingame all they can do is ban them from the discord
don't ping the modder
they'll take the heads-up as a chance to hide the evidence
not that I don't appreciate calling out modders
but I feel like we need a better system for this
yes
like a modmail bot
How long does one expect to wait for geese? I have a full goose setup but I'm hearing nothing. On Xbox btw
Console geese spawns are borked rn
Are ducks the same? because I can only find the spawned ones and I wanna use the decoys and stuff I payed for
Sorry I meant the ones you find at need zones
could be up to 30 minutes but if you're in the right field at the right time you can have multiple flocks coming in every 5 minutes
on console btw
my game keeps crashing only on the new map tho
Yes
Hi All, i would like to know if anyone have problem with the in game sounds? seems i'm loosing it time to time example: loosing the sound of my 4 wheeler
ok thanks! yes, specific map... i try Yukon and it was fine
Has that drag issue been addressed, if your controller turns off or you go afk for more than 10-15 minutes your character will walk without you touching controller
I tried brand new one and 3 others does it on them all
what is the max score for a whitetail without being the GO
I can't fast travel to the outpost circled, I keep ending up at the one at the X. Is it just my game?
bug
OK thanks
This bug is on the patch notes for Rancho, you'll have to wait for its console release but the fix is coming
Ok cool thank you
You could try adjusting your controllers deadzone settings.
I’ve tried everything in controller settings it’s been happening with most people off cotw lfg as well
Are there any feather types for Canadian geese that are specified to one sex like how blonde and Leucistic are to female and male mallards?
does anyone know where the graphics folder is located? i want to lower my graphics even more
Not possible afaik
Short of beefing up your PC, not much you can really do
tips for literally anything? i wanna kill my first diamond and my favorite map is vurhonga but idk where to start on a diamond journey
Start by figuring out what do you want to hunt, check its drink time and start exploring the drink zones.
i’ve done that mostly, i really wanna kill a gemsbok and a lion but lions are hard to come by but i have found a ton of good gemsbok spots but idk where to go from there
Then you are on the right track. Start culling your male lion and female gemsbok population for better respawns.
why female gemsbok? also should i just kill as many as i can?
Female gemsbok makes diamond much more often.
Male diamond gemsbok is hard to come by, they troll like crazy.
ok so i’ll just start slaying the gemsbok population
Pretty much yeah. At one point the numbers will align in your favor.
do i need to try and keep the pressure at a certain point or just go ape mode on them?
You don't want to destroy your need zones ideally. Which means max three kills at one spot unless you have tripods.
and how long does it take for pressure to go back down?
It's not time based, it's kill based. There is only a certain amount of pressure you can have on your map, after that each new kill will start to remove the old pressure circles.
so say i kill like 3 gemsbok in one zone then i do that around all my zones across my map eventually after i get a lot of kills i will be able to check the same zones again over and over
Yes, eventually the pressure will disappear, you just have to hop around your need zones.
ok, how long do respawns take to appear?
I'm not sure. There are some conflicting information out there. It takes a few days until they'll back in their zone. Also based on my experience they don't always spawn back to their original zones. But they'll always come back somewhere.
so basically just keep killing them and eventually diamond will appear somewhere
Yep.
does anybody know minimum score for a male turkey
or have a spreadsheet/chart with the minimum scores on it
that doesnt have minimum scores tho does it
That big pink shape is just Jackrabbit farm
If you see a certain animal then it runs off and u don’t see if for a few days irl, does it despawn or is it somewhere on the map
Hello everyone! Where can I find a table of rare animal colors?
If you did not kill it, it’s still somewhere on the map. Depending on where you saw it, you can try going to the need zones near the area
There is one circulating around, but it’s not really accurate
Thanks
It was a massive 3 Rocky Mountain elk
Would it be where I first saw it or where I lost it
Going to nearby need zones for elk might help you locate it or if you remember the time, animals, for the most part, take the same route
So it will go back to where if first spooked it?
It depends on if that area is just it traveling to and from zones
So like, if I can’t find a specific animal’s zones, I try to remember the area and the time I first saw it and go back to the area around the same time
So it will be either of the nearest need zones
Usually
Thanks
@karmic helm sorry for the ping, but does the creator of this sheet is on this server and what is name please ? ❤️
and sorry for the ping 🙏
A-a-ron, and he is on this server indeed
Can't believe I won the DLC giveaway! But how/when/where will I get the key?
probably when the stream will end
because I can't watch the stream now, I'm attending a work call...
Same
Where’s the link to the stream?
Cool thanks
Are there limit to number of taxed trophy (that's not displayed) you can save ?
there is a limit to saved harvests
You can save like 10 or so untaxed harvests.
Hmm ok so no limit to taxed harvest it seems
Rivers are good place to start
I won one of the raffles for the bloodhound DLC what do I do for that
Sorry guys I missed the stream i think. Any release date for console?
Nope.
Same, and I have no idea where should I get the code
how often do they do raffles
apparently not very often
seems more common for COTW though, maybe once every 1-2 months
what’s max weight for springbok? i’m in kg
42kg
k
Anyone have good spots for kudu
does anyone have a spreadsheet with animals minimum score real quick
a lot of them have minimums of zero 😛
then no, i am not aware of one
I don't think there is a spreadsheet like that.
fair enough
Message TK to get it
what could make my game keep crashing on the new map
during loading or you run around and it crashes?
im runnin around, usually when i shoot more than 1 animal
yea i had a tent at the lake above la hacienda that was like a 50/50 if i crash or not when fast traveling to it
What is the rarest goose variant
Melanistic
Is there any other rare goose variant?
both leucistics.
Melanistic is the rarest though
...actually I think the only not-rare (uncommon) variant is brown hybrid
Alr thanks
indeed
brown hybrid is uncommon, grey and both leus are rares, and melas are very rares
unless you're like me and snag 2 melas before any of the leus
And meeee
This has the minimum scores of diamonds
And gold
And silver
So ig that works
Same with fur colors
And info on all animals
Sorry it took long
is zeroing a skill worth taking?
very worth it
Yes
how do you use it
Button
Animal 300 m away > switch to 300m zero
Animal 75 m away forgets 300 m zero is active you now have yourself a gold level diamond rating blacktail......
f
It took me a month to get over that
is there a perfect skill 'build'
no
or an agreed upon best combo
yes
Ah shit, here we go again
seems simple enough
for rifles i got t2 top one
and ignored t1 top one
but ill pour all my points into the latter
cuz now i see the value
not worth resetting because of one bad skill right?
any tips to hunt gold bunny in the night in Cuatro ?
euro hares have a nighttime drink time
damn, it's day time drinking time for Cuatro tho
Straw fields during evening feed time
Particularly northwest corner
Bunnies should be easy to see with NV and at least on my map are plentiful
That's how I got my golds
ok ill give it a go, thanks
I found it easier than drink times, personally
cant do drink times anyway cause it's on daytime
They do have a drink time at night
hmm
2200 to 0100
I find that they can be hard to spot tho
Straw fields worked better for me
But YMMV
bunnies are pretty dumb, but these golds one are just bs
With particles on tracks not working trying to follow them is a pita
I mean
I managed to walk up to like 60m of a diamond rabbit
So even the big ones aren't very smart
i swear they never appear when i need them
Are soft points ever worth using btw
not really
Is ashame
@charred valley Whenever I've been low on money or just want to make free money, I grab the 243 and free ammo and play for a day, just shoot whatever the 243 can take down. Even Reindeer can go down, they just run a little longer. A close up brain shot on a black bear. Layton is a good map for free money
good mulie spots/times on SRP?
what spot do you hunt in layton
any tips on how to get hunted by wolves ???
also anyone know why my tracer arrow doesn't trace when it hits an animal?
Do male water buffalo come in Brown?
never really notice the color
@upper field Mostly along the water, but anywhere really. It's pretty good in most of the map.
wrap yourself in bacon
but how do i get bacon big enough for my fat ass?
I like Cheelah
Go running around hirsh tega or ta you should be able to kill enough pigs
I would love a map where ALL the animals were aggressive and actively hunted the player.
killer bunny
yesssss
I don't want to die by a harlequin duck
#H O N K
Could you imagine geesedive bombing you
it's ok guys, i'm a duck whisperer * dies *
Me and someone else were also talking about an "aquatic" reserve, too
Though I think that would be probably impossible for the engine
A duck just looks up from your body holding your ear in it's bill
hahaha
low key i want some animal to be more aggressive
like grizzly and moose
especially moose
I was surprised when I saw how slow buffalo were the first time
I guess since the player can only shuffle around they're fast in comparison tho lol
YES
Guess I'll do that, I didn't want to bug him
Hmm apparently I need to be his friend on discord to message him
what map should i buy all i have is srp and vurhonga
what kind of animal you like to hunt ?
imo Yukon is good, not only for the map but also the weapon it comes with (the .300)
i like to hunt moose and lions but i haven’t tried a lot of species as i don’t have most maps
Yukon is for you then, it got moose as well
i’ll buy it tomorrow and try it out
Ok, I messaged TK and he said that they're waiting for more steam keys to come, he'll DM us to send them as soon as they'll be available.
best spot to hunt white tail? level 4 just started got polymers
Depends on which map. On Layton, it's the river or the big marshy lake. At Rancho AG, it's the lake that looks a little like Australia.
On Layton, they can be literally anywhere that has water/shoreline
yh
the problem im having is when i shoot from range it hits but they run away
im aiming at lungs
With the .243, you probably want to be < 150m. If you smack them broadside from that range, they might run a ways first but it will be fatal. Start saving up for the .270
how much is the 270
pc
wym
Just go to the weapon store and find 270 stradivarius
think of penetration as the distance a projectile will travel through an animal after it strikes
expansion is the size of the hole it will make while going through
o
so what would be better for me to use, 270 or 243
so my animals dont run away everytime i take a shot
.243 for class 2 and 3 animals
.270 for class 4-6
something else for class 1 and classes 7-9
exactly
yeah. .30-06 or .303 are muuuch better for deer
is the .303 DLC too?
.303 is in the Te Awaroa map pack
i want weapon customizatioons like barrels, underbarrel, bigger mags etc
Is the outpost thing still broken
ye sorta
i need some advise. i am looking to buy a weapon pack, but i cant choose which one i want. i want to know which weapon pack is the best for Vurhonga. i know that the weapon packs doesn’t include guns that can take on class 9 but i’m mainly looking to shoot up to class 8.
Surprisingly, almost every weapon pack has an option for you
WP1 gives you crossbow and recurve, which if you like bow hunting can cover every class on the game easily
WP2 has the Mosin which helps you for classes 3-7, but also has the drilling rifle. Drilling can use 16ga shotgun shells (birdshot for scrub hares) but also a special rifle round that does 6-9
WP3 has the Eckers, which has a 30'06 round good for 4-8
Get the smoking barrel dlc, M1 is regarded as the best class 4-8 rifle by many
Defo one of my favorites, if not my most
And WP4 (Smoking Barrels) has the M1, which is a semi auto 30'06, plus a muzzle loader rifle that can do up to class 8, and a 10ga shotgun whose slugs can do class 6-9
I personally love the versatility of the drilling rifle for Vurhonga. Hecc, it's a straight up safari weapon, so it's very fitting
ok thanks alot guys!
So I know that the 7mm is for larger animals but what is the starting point for the larger animals, on a scale of rabbit to plains buffalo where does large game begin.
I consider class 7-9 to be large game
Bear is the starting point if you ask me so yeah 7-9
Maybe with the exception of Red deer
Just go by the class numbers, yeah
okay thanks, so I could potentially hunt red deer with it.
With the 7mm?
ye, I thought I saw someone find a level 7 red deer before, was I ust tripping?
Red deer are class 6 animals and they go all the way up to level 9 legendary with their levels
Difficulty level and class level are not the same
All red deer are class 6, but as King said can be 1 thru 9 difficulty, depending on their size/antlers
If the deer can reach from class 6-9 I'm guessing the max weight is way different
I know I misspoke
Ohh ok then yes
A Level 4 red does not weigh as much as a level 8
Moose goose
Thanks for the help, I just got good enough to start actually grinding for the 7mm so before I got it and started shooting every large-ish animal in sight I was going to ask.
You're good for class 4 and up with the 7mm, so everything from medium game deer and beyond~
got it
Yeah
It 243 and 22 if you have it and your set for everything if you don't like using bows
I can't use bows, I tried but I'm bad at sneaking up at animals, long shots are best for me
Ayy
Bows are fun, but it does take some practice
As much as I enjoy bow hunting in Classic, I don't like it in COTW at all.
With a little bit of skill and knowledge it's pretty fun
The game is different. For me COTW is all about grinding and efficiency. It's much faster paced.
using this knowledge I will grind more, or at least later BECAUSE MOM, decided to put her at home office NEXT to the GAMEROOM
Most of the time i just hide in bush and cheese it with callers
My fat ass cant sneak for shit
It's an older video of mine but basics are still the same 🙂 https://youtu.be/x_7xebgwVtA
I want to make guides for different styles of bowhunting and I'm gonna start with stalk hunt! How to get close to the animals, what distances to keep in mind, how this all works in practice? Let's dive in!

Bow hunting is great fun in the game. Might get a bit used to at first but once you get the hang of it, oh man. Satisfaction when you nail the shot.
Nothing like nailing a ~100m shot with just a pin sight
Or stalking right up to your trophy buck and double-lung smoking it from 20m
Lol I always liked long shots and then when the render glitch happened I started sneaking and stocking more now I can easily get up to 15 m away
I'm trying to stalk this deer, but that clap of my cheeks has alerted all of hirschfelden
👀
You need to do some squats to tighten those cheeks, less clapping.
Since you're able to make it where you can literally very VERY slowly move
Haven't had any issues on PC since you can also adjust the speed a bit by using sprint
And if you get too loud, just prone and crawl
Hide yourself and let them calm down before moving again helps too.
Yeah I use a controller on PC and I didn't know how slow you could actually move using keyboard and mouse where i can crawl and nearly produce no noise
By just barely moving the joystick
Does the cross bow have a longer rang than the bows?
I'd take the accuracy of mouse over movement options with joystick anyday tho
Not really but it's easier to shoot longer since it has a scope
any tips for hunting with 243?
anything i shoot runs away
what should i specifically be going for?
white tail?
Don't go for anything bigger than black tail and white tail really maybe mountain lion
what map
Maybe fallows
What map are you currently hunting on?
Slow down. Walk and crouch. Get around water so you have better view to spot animals. Open outposts and do missions, they get you around the map and you have goals where to go.
It's best is with smaller game like coyotes bobcat roe deer black Buck axis
hm
And get polymertip ammo when you can. It has better penetration and gets easier double lung shots.
Black tail is only on Layton and whitetail is on Layton and rancho rancho is a wonderful place for whitetail
im using poly but everything still manages to get away
aight
any specific place in rancho?
If you're after whitetails the lake North Northeast of start point the Big lake East of start point and the large lake Northeast of start point if I got all that correct in my head
Yes especially if you have the polymer tips
Green dot is start
Anytime
what can i take down with 270
Classes 4-8
so up to moose and elk?
Ye
kk
Altho, well
It will struggle with moose and elk quite a bit~
You can definitely punch a vital but aside from a heart shot they will run quite far
Yes and you want to make sure you're close to them sub 150m mostly
aight
Far away a moose might just look at you and laugh when you try to shoot it
And hit it damn things are tanks
Mhm
just gonna second the .270 being tough above elk. It will die, but man have fun jogging unless you really drill them in there.
yeah for real.
And a heart shot
AND MY AXE
🤔
Tactical nuke
best spot for coyotes at cheelah?
run around and hope you'll hear one dropping mating/warning call, coyotes are pain in the ass(at least on my map)
I just ran around with a 243. And shot anything that moves
And follow any coyote track even if droppings are very old
im just starting out but have had a better time with 270 soft
kk
better time than 243 poly?
yes
Anyone know a good pheasant spot, I could never find them when i want too.
kk
Guys the 270 and the 243 are completely different guns. 270 can take deer to moose while the 243 can take coyote to anything class six. In my opinion I would take both on layton
The polemer is better for any gun but the class still stays the same if you use soft.
Use 243 poly, 270 soft (until you get poly), and a shotgun with bird shot
@last hemlock
so for coyotes should i just run around or do i need to stalk
so i should use 270 soft?
generally speaking, always use polymer tips
from my small experiance even with broadside shots, the soft 270 fails to hit vitals on anything bigger than a deer
to me they are one of the most frustrating bullets to use
just unlocked poly and hyperion lets go
i just unlocked the 270 poly too, i'll see what they are able to do soon
.270 plus poly tips will make the medium to large deer like whitetails to red deer a lot easier. Keep the .243 tho cuz that’s good for the smaller deer like roe deer and axis deer and smol predators like foxes and coyotes
.270 CAN take down moose and elk, but it’s far from ideal
kk
You really need at least the 7mm to take on class 7+
i was on multi with my friend for a few hours he has the 270
what we did was hunetd moose
and shot them at the same time
worked pretty well
bruh still need 80 for 270 poly
80 score or cash?
score
That’s not too bad. That’s just two or three deers’ worth of score
That’s gonna make your life a lot easier
Once you get the 270 poly tips, you’re set for life on some maps
ye
Do you have weapon pack 1 btw?
nope
I highly highly recommend you get it because that .22LR is basically a necessity for the smolest animals like wabbits and dux
If your hunting bigger game go for the smoking barrels pack
Like, most of the DLC weapons can be reasonably substituted by base game weapons. But the .22LR rifle has no substitute
Isnt the ammo really cheap too?
Yeah, 200 dollars
Damn
200 for one stack of ten yeah
What are moose made of ? i just unlocked .270 polymer ammo and yet i kill one over five moose i shoot. Flanks, back, neck, even head i don't deal damage to them. When they have low bleeding, bleeding stops after a moment. why are they like that ? i shot bisons with .243 poly but mooses are unkillable
Moose are TOUGH animals animals
You really need at least 7mm reliably to take one down
yeah i guess, but then i cannot understand what is the point of the .270
the only thing it has better than .243 is the ability to hunt moose,
bear
Ah yes, the dilema of upgrade. Sooner they will find that .270 poly is way more reliable in taking down medium sized animal than .243
does anyone know where i can find the weapons spreadsheet with all the ethical rounds?
Even with the .270 you want to really take a perfect broadside shot if you wanna take down bigger game, like red deer and up to elk/moose
In general, if the ammo has a class range, it'll be strongest for the lower end of the class,, but can still struggle with the higher end
.270 class is 4-8, so it performs very well on class 4-5, but falls off for 6-8
.243, in comparison, is 2-6, so it excels at 2-3 but struggles on 4-6
omg
6.5mm is weak
i double lunged a WT at 350m
took 5s to die
It performs well enough but it's not the idealest caliber
that range also depends a lot on the specific ammo
30'06 is also 4-8 but performs way better than .270 on the upper range
It does struggle with moose a bit but is way more reliable for red deer and the like
where can i find the spread sheets for ammo and such please
check the pinned comment in #🦌︴trophies
It has a spreadsheet
thanks 🙂
Lol the only reason i use 6.5 is because rayoooooo
r-
ayoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this gun is trash
Fuck you <- this guy is mad because he has spent too much time on it and you've just said the truth
If you shoot an elk with M1 by accident, you dont have to run a marathon, let's just say that
wait that's illegal
For the trophy collection grind, I wanted to use the 6.5 to get at least one diamond
And I did, I got the puma with it
Then tried to use it on reds and found it a bit lacking, so now I picked up the Eckers instead
If at any point I'm grinding class 4s again I will grab the Rayo again
Probably when I get around to Rancho again, or finishing my diamond ibex grand slam
Hi! Is she rare? Blonde
Uncommon, only females can be blonde
Thx
anyone having any performance issues with lag or frame drops on rancho del arroyo,i’ve been having them a lot recently and it’s only really near water
Does anyone know how to get the game to not have unplayable lag on the PS5? There's almost a full second input lag and all my other games work fine...
not really sure, i’m on pc and i’ve been experiencing alot of lag and frame drops out of no where
I'm new and have heard good things. Downloaded it and it's just unplayable. Messaged developer and they gave some videos but they weren't the problem(videos had stuff like make sure tv's on game mode, etc.).
there’s something on there end i think. your not the only one experiencing it. the game is amazing then out of no where the game is unplayable
Interesting. Hope I can find out that the game is amazing as well. It must be a glitch in the backwards compatiblity of the PS5 that causes it. Saw some vids and it looks like a chill game, brought back Cabella memories...
yeah it’s amazing,sorry that your experiencing the game at a bad time,i truly hope they fix it soon, it’s too hard to play atm with all this lag and fram drops.
how do i contact the developer?
Check out the report a bug channel and it will give a link.
awesome thanks
Do animals by chance have a chance to become legendary for instance if you pass on a majestic will it grow later to legendary or do animals stay the same size until they die
They stay the same till they die
Morning everyone
Qwek
Evenin~
||Buh-GAWK||
Mornin/night
Sadly no they stay same size till you kill them then they respond a similar or completely different size
I wish animals would scale in the world based on their size :/
Forward it to devs then~
It would be really lovely
Ok thank I was wondering, good to know
Anytime
I have 😦
They can't do it without re-writing a lot of code :/
I told them they should take a reserve cycle off to just polish the game
and re-write / add stuff like that
I think a lot of regulars here would agree with that
Both are pretty good
Mosin is one of the best rifles for class 3s
And M1 is a semi auto 30'06, so it's perfect for grinding class 4-6
ok epic
(it also goes up to class 8 but it excels at 4-6 imo)
It can reliably drop class 4s at 300m
Its zero ranges are spot on and doesn't need much compensation for going above/below
It's no 6.5mm, but it's flat enough to do the job
The .303 is great if you're trying to drop one buck at 350m. The M1 is better for dropping 3 at 150m
Basically that~
Whatcha after?
yeah lol
what should I hunt for some cash
what a great strategy
Hi, it's me again with my noob questions
Once I 'll get the 7mm mag, I'd like to test new weapons. What should I try ?
Revolver hunting sounds fun but looks like hell to grind the 454
Bows could be the most accessible one since the first bow is cheap and looks decent
I already use the shotgun sometimes but I'm not sure if it's worth to grind them ( not a fan of bird/small game hunting)
I’d say listen to what your heart says. If you have the patience to try bow hunting, then go for it. If you wanna blow a deer’s chest apart with a handgun, then do it. If you wanna make mincemeat of small animals with shotguns, then give it a go
Thanks for the advice, I'll probably test everything at some point.
But I'll start with the bows because they are easy to access as a new player
If you got any shotgun DLC, you also get access to buckshot/slugs for those shotguns. So you can still hunt deer or other larger animals with a shotgun. 🙂
Interesting, so we get all the ammo without grind with DLC?
What do you think about the drilling?
Yup, I love the drilling personally. Very versatile.\
Is the 9.3 a good bullet? Statwise it doesn't looks that good
Very good, covers classes 5-9. Those ingame stats can easily be ignored they don't make much sense gameplay wise imo.
I don't really trust bullets in this game, I find the soft bullets of 243 and 270 to be absolutely useless except if you like to walk 10km after a deer.
So low penetration scares me
Anyway I 'll probably buy a DLC or two and the one with the drilling will be one of them
ye animal in this game is bullet sponge when it comes to soft bullets
the only good soft bullets are the one for mosin, their penetration stats are understated
I 'll be able to test the mosin If I buy the drilling dlc. Does it get a specific scope like the drilling? Or did they put picatinny on a mosin ?
Mosin uses all default rifle scopes
Ok, kinda awkward but thx for the answer
sure thing
Is the 22LR round the only round you can use to distract animal and stay on the spot ?
I think the air rifle works similarly
Time to bring 22 lr everywhere
I mean, you almost always should, depending on the map
You never know when a lv3 duck will be just chilling

Or a rabbit
Rabbits are easy enough to run down with a shotgun
Anyone else having issues with progression for the Fencing Champion mission?
What's that mission again?
Its like the beginning mission where you cut the barbed wire fencing and pull the posts. After i pulled the posts out it just did not progress to the next mission
Oh, Rancho
Yes.
Hm, I do not remember having issues with that
If it doesn't update in like, 5 minutes, back to main menu then try again?
This is literally the only mission thats done this to me all the other missions work fluently on other reserves its just Rancho for some weird reason
ive tried that the huntermate is literally blank
would a picture help?
Hmmm
I don't think a picture will be necessary
Are you certain there's no more posts to pull out
there are none the dialogue went through and then it just stopped and has been stuck
i hav no markers or anything its saying its complete but also blank at the same time
Huh
like its not complete even tho i completed it
i even tried verifying the integrity of the game files and that didnt fix it either
ah thanks anyways
