do note taxidermizing costs cash
Yup
yep, it depends on the animal
Il taxidermize if i get anything diamond
or rare fur types
you should also tax rares
How do i know if it is a rare fur type?
Spreadsheet pinned in #🦌︴trophies
thanks i guess
Should i tax gold goose?
gold rares
not really
plenty
yes
melanistic, bald leucistic, light grey leucistic, grey
brown hybrid is uncommon
if you want to
K
grey is in between rare and uncommon, it really depends who you ask, lots of people say they’re uncommon and lots of people say they are rare
I have gotten just as many greys as LGL
I've got 3 of both
the one gold rare I don’t have is Bald Leucistic
after I get a Diamond Roe Deer, that’s my goal
I got lucky and my only gray male was a gold lvl 3
I think I saved a grey scoring in the 7.5 area, because I wasn’t sure if it was rare or not, I think I made up my mind and will consider it rare from now on
instead of a rare uncommon lol
I thanks funny for me my 3rd most common is melanistic
lucky
It took me roughly 800 to get my first bald Leucistic then within the next 150 I got like 3 or 4 of them
typical lol
I would love to complete my collection with a gold of every female but dear God that will take forever
I bet 😂
Hmm I wonder if a gold female in a rare would qualify as a super rare 
probably same category as a diamond uncommon, maybe a little less rare
I've only ever gotten one gold since I've been goose hunting
geese females make gold?
sure
No but it is a nice little trophy
what time is canada goose time
all the time
Anytime you wish
it's like a rotating 24/7 all you can goose buffet
thanks man
Or bowl
this is my set up (I am there now) and it works nicely
thanks
I try to pick a spot with open fields as much as possible in every direction, because geese can fly a few hundred yards before they drop, and they're easier to find in open fields than in forest
^^^^^
My spot is in the south but there are better ones I think
And try to have as much Open sky around you as you can so you can see the geese from further distance
very
okay so do i call them in or wait for them
the decoys will do most of the work. I use the caller if I hear them and occasionally if it's dead quiet, just to hopefully lure in ones which might be at long range (500 yds effect on the caller) but really you don't need to call at all. Gives you something to do while you sit there
There can be lags between geese coming along. I will play Solitaire on my other monitor or something
okay thanks lol
Most of the time you won't have to wait even 5 minutes between flocks, but sometimes you can wait maybe 20 (IRL)
What dlc should i buy? I have trophy lodge,goose dlc, weapon pack 1 ,Bloodhound,
how many are you able to get?
1
i'd recommend the tents and ground blinds DLC
Which weapon pack would you recomend
since you already have WP1, i'd say Smoking Barrels
🚬 🛢️
👉 🚪
🚪 🛢️ 🚬
sadly ..yes
"GAH-M1"
the M1 GAH cuz thats all an animal has time to say before they get a 30-06 to the lungs
I wish the PING of the en-bloc clip was... more though
more satisfying
🤔
but yeah anyways, smoking barrels is a hard reccomend. and whichever pack gives the Grellic Drilling Rifle ive gotten a lot of milage outta that. oo and the 22LR Virant, that's my go to for class 1 hunting now
Oh... lol
likely cause thumb
lol
See, I thought that too, to start with
Then I shot my first diamond puma on PF (my first ever diamond) with a heart shot at 252m or something stupid
and now I kinda have a soft spot for it
but the grelck drilling got me through levels whatewver it was - 4 - to 40
and if you could only zero the damn thing at 300 it'd be perfect
yes plz
I have used it for longer range shots and went to the range to add it to my little cheat post it. These are my notes for that fwiw
Grelck at range
328 yds - almost halfway down thin line
384 yds - To edge of thin line
438 yds - Edge of thin line or hair below
491 yds - Hair below end of thin line
546 yds - 1-2mm below end of thin line
yeah - I did that for a while
And I have definitely gotten vital shots with it at 400yds
and it should hit like a bus - you know 350-400gr bullets in RL
but that good ol 300 weatherby got me
and I perfered that
yeah it's underpowered in game imho
(though you should be able to zero that at 600)
agreed
I never thought it was anywhere close to RL
I might mean 300-350gr in RL btw - I don't shoot one so I'm going off pretty hazy memory of Cartridges of the World 14th edition there
could look it up - the book's upsatairs - but I'm making chutney rather than killing mulies this evening, so it's not an ideal time
still - underpowered in game
(should add, just for clarity, that my comment above about 252 yd diamond puma was related to the caplock in smoking barrels, not the Grelck)
ah lol thought you were talking about the Grelck. The .50 cal is my favorite of all
I like it too - very much
yup
I remember when I spotted that first puma
I'm like "level 9 - I should get a better rifle"
I was just pissing around with it to see what it would do at that point
and then the thought occurred to me "you get another rifle, puma go bye bye"
so I thought "**** it - have a go"
lined it up
and he dropped on the spot
lucky that I guessed the drop right
but I figured it was only a few inches at 250 from a 200 zero
got a pic somewhere...
there he is
well - not a heart shot it turns out
but he went straight down all the same
and I underestimated by 3 yards, so I can't be accured of over-egging it, right?
that's the nice thing about it - the minie ball compensates for that with its expansion
absolutely
the thing I like best about that screenshot is "Tracking distance: 0.0m"
just flopped where he was
I couldn't believe it to start with
shame it's only 3 round per minute
reminds me of Sharpe, if you happen to know that programme
Yup. Younger Sean Bean have watched it all, been a while
you remember the absolutely outrageous suggeston he makes in about eplisode 6 or something, where he says his platoon is going to fire "4 rounds per minute"
even our hunder guy isn't that dfast
How many animals should I kill before picking up bodies
vaguely. I read all Cornwell's books too
if it's a nuke, don't pick them up. especially don't eat them. artillery - 200-300; rifle, 2-3.
we should probably move over to cotw-general as we've gone beyond the help channel lol
lol - and here am I wondering if i need some help.... 😄
in all seriousness though
it's always worth having a look around before you break cover
the way I approach is, is, you just fired this really loud gun
chances are, there's nothing about
so you may as well just run and pick up whatever it is you knocked over
but before you do run and make all that noise
have a look around - if you've go other stuff that's > 200m away, it won't have spooked from the shot
so keep taking them down until you end up losing zones or they all scarper
then clear up]
Definitely. I usually walk even to harvest something after I've shot. I've gotten a lot of kills during that walk by not running
im serious im ab to bow hunt a herd of 60-70 gemsbok and i wanna know how many to kill before pickup
gonna be in a tripod
like 20
tripod + bow = 64 hunting pressure b4 zone die
classic bowhunting a herd of 60 is understandable
how u do it in cotw
I'm not a bow hunter - rifles mostly for me, but I think you can shoot 4 with a bow normally and then there's some multiplier fo rthe stand (x4?) which means you don't get so much pressure / lose zones
if someone knows the numbers they can tell you, but my guess would be about 15 before you want to stop
you cant delete zones in a tripod with a bow
well you know more than I do then
i just wanna know when to hop out and grab my kills
well- when they aren't there to be spooked any more, I guess
The gemsbok will leave before you've downed 20
i mean, technically hunt till they spook
If I log out from my map in multiplayer and my friend continues to play on my map does it sync the animals that he killed when i go back on?
yes
it should
it was Te Awaroa and he owns it
i was just curious because we made a rule about not killing diamonds on eachother's maps and I logged out and he killed a diamond so I was curious if it would carry over or not that's all
That's something I've wondered too
i believe that once you, the original host, exit the server, the pop stops carrying over to your singleplayer. not 100% sure tho
hey everyone im doing the quest in te awaroa, and the quest where i get to shoot the moose is bugged the quest markers stays on the first tracks and doesnt give me any further messages and if i go and shoot the moose its doesnt leave blood or steps...
any idea how to fix it ?
Restart the game. That moose is bugged in that it doesn't leave a blood trail.
try to get a heartshot on him if possible
Don't discuss exploits please.
alr
how long does it take to finish all medved taiga missions?
Depends on how much you play, and where your need zones are.
whats the best version to buy on steam
I'd check if the Humble Bundle sale is still going on first
@tranquil tundra there was a 2022 edition and a 2019 edition
2019 is the better starter pack imo
okay ill go with that one, thank you!
NP
What is short range zero and long range zero on perks
do you know what the concepts of zeroing and bullet drop are?
bullets are projectiles, and like all physical objects, they are affected by gravity. zeroing adjusts the sights to compensate for this bullet drop to allow you to hit on the crosshairs at a specific range
Reason: Duplicated text
oh really?
in-game, most rifles are zeroed for 150m by default. the short range and long range zeroing perks add a 75m and 300m zeroing option
a few rifles and all other weapon types will have different zeroing ranges
Hi,
I got a little question about the Bloodhound DLC
Does the Brave Perk for level 30 mean that my dog can defend me from a preditor attack, or does it mean that he can only defend himself then. And is it even possible for the dog to be attacked?
it means he has a chance of essentially scaring an aggressive animal out of its aggressive state
Okay, thanks for the explanation 👍
How do i put on dog perks?
while your dog is spawned press esc there should be relevant tab somewhere at the bottom
how rare are diamond canada geese?
ive shot quite a number of canada geese but still no diamonds
not too rare
better than my 36 hours before a diamond
~200+ geese so far and none have been diamonds
ive killed maybe 1000 geese over the last few days and found 5 diamonds, make sure to kill any level 4 & 5 geese that you see cuz i had a level 4 make diamond
you could also try putting your game online because i had no diamonds for hours on single player and then put my map online and first flock i saw online had 2 diamonds in it
i have killed rougly 600 geese and had 4 diamonds spawn all on sp
lvl23 so far
nice keep it up youll get there fast with geese
trying to get all the sills and perks to make my life easier
they definitely help
I have a few hundred hours in just my current hunter, yesterday passed 2,000 animals harvested, and 5 of them are diamonds, none of which are geese
ive found that plucking them straight out of the sky with a 22 is easier and faster than calling them and waiting for them to come
It is good that diamonds are rare enough that you’ll never say “ho hum, another diamond”
i got a diamond turkey and a diamond pheasant yesterdays just running around with shotgun in rancho map
im usually like "oh cool, level 5" then it makes diamond and im like "ok"
||also i hate having to use the word "like"||
I do that with the virant too but I like using the Couso too much to use only the virant
im getting alot more golds than usual
Me too. But the word that makes bile climb into my gullet is Bruh, bruh. Fastest way to tell everyone you are not yet 20 years old? Say bruh. Even once
as you say brother
Aye kemosabe
something kind of rare
its the mela tha you wont find
Defintiely. Stuff that!
yeah i did
I haven’t got a diamond goose but I did get a mela
How many kilos should a diamond moose be?
Not really
ah alright
No real scope, short range, very heavy, only one class it can properly harvest, and the 2.0 lb Rhino handgun does as good a job and is more versatile
the 7mm sometimes has trouble taking down really big animals
or im just horrible at shooting
oh definitely
the cape buffalo
7mm is not reccommended agains class 9
The 7mm is pretty weak at 8 and 9
even though it goes up there
whats a good caliber for those classes?
.300
.300
The harvest will pass check but you will pursue animal a mile
or any max grain arrow
what dlc is the .300 apart of?
pinned messages has all the DLC guns from weapon packs
.300, .338 are best. Grelck, .10 gauge slugs, bows also work. .45-70 too but not great at 9s
should i stick with a .338 for now
.338 is easiest step up from the 7mm, but the .300 is ultimately superior for weight, rounds it holds
.338 is probably otherwise equal to .300 it is a great class option
(If the .50 cal passed harvest check on 9s it would put everything else to shame, which is probably why it is limited to 8)
anyone know some good boar spots on 4 colinas
Ah, the Bank of Canada provides generously
On my cuatro, the piggies basically cluster along the fields mostly the first couple acres north of the main E-W road, and travel the northern fringe of them a lot, hitting water holes as present. Some are S of road too
already got me piggies, but thanks for the tip for when i need it
I the Hudzik .50 Caplock good for moose hunting?
So nothing is better for moose hunting?
This is MY opinion, and I think the .338 and .300 are comparable but the Minie ball's combination of penetration and expansion is unmatched
A bow is the only thing I've used which kills as quickly on moose
K
You can get spoiled with the .50 cal. You use other weapons and get irritated when animals get up sometimes after being shot :)
the round shot is useful to also get class 3s but normally if a map has class 3s I equip a different weapon for other reasons
Nothing better
If you get a side view, always go for double lung which is easy. If you have a frontal view, Moose aren't terribly hard to get a heartshot on - their heart is big, and you just aim for the low center of the chest
If you have a rear view, wait for it to turn enough to get one of the lungs, or you could go for the Texas heart shot, which @hidden basin can explain sometime
right in the center of the chest
from side view
that also applies to pretty much all animals as the easiest takedown
Once you harvest one, you can look at the X-ray view to see where to aim next tine
Well above a little and behind
K
A moose’s lungs are in the same place as yours, just sideways
You sure my bullets gonna go trough both of the lungs?
If you are using the .50 cal, most of the time yes
K
But one lung is almost as good. Moose will just run farther before going down
even the 7mm can get double lung
This is why if the moose’s back is to you, you just need it to turn enough to hit one of the lungs
Which is the best moose spot? In layton lake district.
Moose will be found all over the riverbanks in left center of map, whole length of map
They are in other places too, but the river is full of moose
So across the left side of the map, like the river on the left side?
one sec will paint a map image. Remember that everyone's map puts animals in different places, but this will be true on all maps for moose pretty much - one sec
K
Pretty much the whole lake section in Balmont too but I'd cover up too much map in orange
Moose will be around there all day, but their main drink times iirc are around 9 a.m.
yeah 8-12 ish
np. Once you level up enough to get the moose caller it's even easier. Moose almost always answer the caller and they are drawn to it like a magnet
(Even though it's kind of like holding a cardboard funnel up to your mouth and going "moooooosssee")
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kTG69dqpeYEnmcWYBI_Ez_4Fd8jc44g5WOJ3I_bLPig/edit#gid=1570937174 @zenith tinsel bit late but this might help
How rare is an Albino Puma?
Yall have any other tips fir moose hunting?
Only that the most terrifying thing that can happen to you in this game is to get "moosed." A warning call from a moose which is within 100yds, when you didn't know it was there, will often require a change of underwear.
Oh, once the Moose knows you are there you will get warning calls, can't do anything about that. it's when you don't know the moose is there that is scares you. Most animals hear you way before the smell you
Always be aware of where the green cone is on the compass. That's your indicator on which way the wind is blowing.
Oooooo
If an animal is within the green cone's radius, it will absolutely smell you within 200 meters
some animals, such as wolves, can smell you from just barely outside the cone's radius as well
Just as important - maybe more - is your sound meter. For each bar in this, your sound travels roughly 50m. Normal walking on even ground without brush sends noise 150m ish. Running makes every animal aware of you within 200-250m. When you get within 200m, if you need to get closer for a shot, go slow, crouch or go prone
This is from my own profile. Most of the reason the hearing one is so high is from driving the ATV, but even without it, that number would be probably 10x higher than the others
What should i do in this situation?
I guess decide which one you want and erase it from existence
Can a 545 kilo moose be a diamond
Nope, that's either a silver or gold
Oof
No only 620
K
That’s their max weight estimate, so it has a chance
K
Guys i need some help maby you can help me out a bit, i am new to the game im a rambo that runs true maps and shoots on sight ... but i wanted to try out some calming duck hunting... i looked on youtube for some of the video's and tried some of the "hot spots" but i rarely see any ducks or get any feeding / drinking zone's i do like to try it because i feel like its a change of running around like a mindless rambo 😉
Are you trying to use decoys and the duck calls?
yes aiming for mallards atm
With Mallard and teal they're being a pain at the moment and not wanting to really react to the decoys and calls
The best tactic for them right now is to go to different bodies of water and try to take them from a distance of the 22
Or if there close to land sneaky and try to get them with the shotgun
oke thnx is that something they need to patch and should i keep an eye out for patchnotes ?
I got some on Layton an hour ago with decoys and a blind. Slept til 700 a.m. Went into blind and spammed duck call. Within 5 mins a flock landed and I netted 5 with the Couso
I figure it’s not, but is call of the wild cross play between Xbox and pc?
Unfortunately no. Sony's still very against crossplay.
Ight, thank you!
like there's been some exceptions, but generally with big-name MMO's
yeah crossplay is generally all-or-nothing
Pretty sure yes hopefully they'll work on it a little bit at least to where there like Harlequin ducks coming to decoys
How many meters away can animals hear the ATV?
to render, so 415m
Thx. How about running?
depends on vegetation
130-180 depending on the level
Just walking through low brush is 200+ yds
The noise Indicator, is each bar a specific distance?
Rule of thumb is 50m/54 yds but it depends on the animal a lot. Some hear better
unsure, but i think a good rule of thumb might be each bar = animals can hear you 50m away
predators naturally have better senses than prey
and wabbits have really dull senses
Thanks
The Soft Feet skill in the Stalker tree is a huge benefit
Ty
females of most deer species do that
Lol
The money my hunter earns might as well just be delivered straight to the tent company
btw if you're wondering why the female deer/moose/elk have a trophy rating of zero, here's a hint: what do the males have that the females don't?
Testicles?
oh I know, Machismo
You could not have give a better answer
I know I know 👉 🚪
You walked right into that one cash
im gonna take that door, unscrew it from the hinges, and break it in half on the top of your head
No - Wallets. Females use purses
Okay I'll behave :)
(My work here is done) (for now)
Lmao
testosterone?
le siiiiiiiigh
So I had a problem with my PC crashing when I tried to play the game which seems to be fixed now after I did something with my fans but now as soon as I try to join the game it just crashes and it asks me to file a report
Maybe these problems have to do something with my graphics card which is a RTX 2060S
that would be because female deer (unless it's a reindeer or caribou) don't have antlers.
the support site is currently down, but it should be back up by tomorrow. once it's back up, i'd recommend reading this article
Ok
Yeah about that
that article is on the support site.
The support site which is down.
which is why i said "once it's back up"
Sometimes there are literally moose right outside my house irl.
...I've apparently lost my brain today
Well I'll look into it
some things it could be tho:
-verify files through steam
-check graphics card drivers and update them if needed
-unplug any controllers you have plugged in (seriously, this has fixed the issue for some people)
-check to see if you may have a corrupted save file (i'm gonna let someone else walk you through this cuz i've helped a bunch of people out already)
as always, picsoul to the rescue
Yeah it seems like that thehunter isnt the only game that can't launch properly so it has to do with something else, thanks for the help tho
Seems like I fixed it and my PC finally doesn't overheat anymore
Thanks
When hunting for diamond (Sika Deer) should I kill only males with the highest trophy rating (silver, gold) or should I kill every male I find?
I wonder if killing below silver males is gonna affect (negatively) my chance to find diamond
Really some say kill all some say kill the biggest
To my knowledge it's all RNG so if that's right there's a chance that a bronze could spawn as a diamond
how far can you hear animals from? like when there's a mating call or something
Not certain but I know that you can hear their calls from beyond the range of most of your own callers which is about 218 yds for most of them. If I had to guess I think I've seen animal calls from animals which were between 300 and 400 yds away. I doubt farther than that. It might simply be as far as render range, which is something around 450ish yds
thank you
But moose is only 25m or right next to your ear hole
what time is grizzly time?
It's always grizzly time 😁🏹
Is light brown rio grande turkey rare?
no
Is it rare for the other kind?
Is King 470DB worth to buy?
only if you're bored and have cash to burn
Is it only class 9 animals?
gee, i dunno. check the ammo
okay
Anyone got a Drink Route Map for roe deer on Hirch?
Is brown hybrid rare for canada goose?
Uncommon
Okay
Is there like a website where i can give the devs ideas what to do with the game cotw?
Best spots for cape buffalo?
North lake
Any more spots?
Mmmmm thank you
no problem😄
You also need the cotw role to see the channel, check #887274968801480736
Oke just to get a better understanding of how the game works... a friend wants to shoot " big antlers " .. aka a big moose and she has been shooting some on her single player ... if I want to help her a bit and she creates a multiplayer map and I join and kill a moose does that help her progress with respawns ? Or is single and multiplayer completely diffrent
When you host your map, those animals are the same as your SP map, and respawns will work as if you were on SP
As long as you are the host, those changes will be saved
Yeah so when I want to help her she needs to host and all is good thnx 👍
anyone know what happends if you redeem a code for cotw 2019 edition while having some of the dlcs and the game already?
I heard there can only be a certain number of diamonds on the map. Is it possible the reason why a diamond for a certain animal is not spawning is because there's no empty "slot" for it?
The info you heard is false. It’s all RNG-based
You could have a map that’s absolutely loaded with diamonds, and you could have one with literally zero diamonds, and you could have anything in between
Ok, thanks. I will believe you
What are the ranges for each of the pins supposed to be for the 3-pin sight?
Ah ok, thanks 👍
I've been trying to figure them out and kinda had an idea but wasn't sure
You might find these useful

^^^^^ this needs to be pinned
o.O
how are you supposed to remember that?
Well I mean if you use a lot you'll remember it and ya can save the pics and use them
I have most the dots for the crossbow memorized with the 60m zero
is 118 metres a good distance to hit a Fallow Deer from? or is fruther away better?
or closer?
118 is a good point
With potential diamonds, you generally want to be close enough to ensure that you'll get a good shot on them
Out of Curiosity, is there a reason that Hunter COTW will occasionally freeze my PC and cause Discord to crash?
I'd assume that means something in your PC isn't up to par for handling the game.
do you have any other programs running along with the game and Discord?
Is there somewhere I can find each species’ minimum scores?
i wish
That only has maximum scores, not minimum.
My PC is usually able to run things like Star Citizen well, I'm not sure why but for some reason whenever I play The Hunter, using other programs (Discord, Google chrome etc) is like a death sentence for my game
I'm unfamiliar with that game title
Basically an in dev game with high requirements, so if I can run that, I can run The Hunter,
might just boil down to your computer not liking COTW then
I've been able to run a lot of other demanding games but for some reason Hunter + Any other programs in the background just ends up loading slow and crashing, I'll try to re verify files etc and see if that fixes it first.
might wanna consider turning the graphics down a bit if you have not yet done so already
The bottom pin doesn't quite reach 100 m/yds with the 420 gr arrows and with default zeroed in... for the most part what TacticianLyra said is pretty close, anyway that's what is working for me. I wish we could adjust sights manually, I would like to have the 3-pin set up like I have mine irl...
Last time I used em they were fairly accurate for me, but Ormy did these so I can't really speak to that
If you're trying for 100m I would suggest going to the range and testing that out yourself
Is spirit common? (Brown bears)
Uncommon
Ah okay. I have two different things telling me different stuff. One says rare other says common. Thanks @tranquil tundra !
Can anyone suggest a good rifle to accompany my .59 cal musket? I was tempted by the 7mm but I'm not sure if it's worth carrying that and the black powder rifle together.
So far I have been using
.243 (default)
.50 cal hiudzik
Kotor bow (Still learning to use this)
7mm allows you to kill class 9, which the musket can't do ethically
Are the high-tech and smoking barrels DLCs your only DLCs at this time?
I think I have all of the DLCs, thanks to the Humble Bundle
I suppose I could use the Musket, 7mm and then use the bow for small game
Ah~
If you're specifically looking to cover class 9 animals, .300 will do that just fine
However, in a reserve without class 9, the muzzle loader will be more than enough
Only problem with it is the lack of range beyond ~200m, and low zoom scope, so you can use any of the other bolt actions if you prefer the range
Bow can do anything at short range
Hmm, I'll try the .300 then thanks. Though I do tend to need good zoom
The Galileo scope I believe is better than the Ascent, so if you haven't unlocked the Hyperion or the Argus yet then it'll still be a better zoom
That said, the .300 also needs unlocking by rifle score, ye?
.300 is the second-to-last rifle to unlock, yes
Animals will still spawn around a tent they just won't spawn at it whenever you travel to it correct?
Yeah
I believe they can spawn further than 200 yards/meters from a tent
hence why it's great to get there before the animals do
My purpose was more putting it on the other side of the lake where I kill stuff at so I don't have to walk all the way around the lake to get there I could just fast travel over there
I just started playing and I’m been sneaking around and stuff and I just can’t find any deer at all I found one but that took me 2 hours
we have Arthur Morgan hell yeah
Have you found any tracks or heard any calls?
With you sneaking around looking
here's a series of videos you may wanna consider watching

boy, that was me.. starting out I might be lucky to bag a few Does.
just keep at it my man
I just started playing and I’m been sneaking around and stuff and I just can’t find any deer at all I found one but that took me 2 hours
@kind vapor
Dont worry. I'm like two days further into the game than you.
Silver ridge peaks is more beginner friendly. Just spot from far away. Find a good lake or need zone then pick animals off around it.
I wasn't specifically trying for 100, but tried to put in practice with each pin to see how close TacticianLyra and Ormy's were for distance. The 20, 40, 60 were pretty close. I don't try for long distance with a bow, I use the bow as close to as irl hunting. But thank you for sharing Ormy's 👍
Possibly a stupid question but, is there a way to start the questline for Layton Lakes? I just loaded it back up and haven't gotten a message in game yet
do you have any mission in your mission log?
Is there not an option under missions that shows a active mission?
Dear god I'm blind, I didn't know there was a mission log, thanks
also that
system>game>mission system
Been playing mostly in Co op so I haven't messed around with missions much.
Lol
I'm happy you found it
Also if you ever don't want missions there's an option to actually turn missions off in settings
hmm i dont want missions but i dont want to turn them off
so i have to complete them
ehh.. they're good money at least
but geese are better XD
true true
Turn them off then turn them back on and then don't activate a other one
Then boom you have them but you don't have them
"looks at achievements page" um Kingfisher19 steam seems to disagree with you
that page will haunt me in my dreams though
I want to go for "You give Love a bad name" achievement and do it fairly
Also very good name for achievement
fairly?
If I wanted to I could carry the longbow around and shoot Frozen animals in the heart and complete in no time
ahh
provided the game gets fixed as promised you wont be having that option come next patch day
Or 9 I know I have achieved one heart shot with the bow
But but photo shoots 😢
Dear god if I could find a legendary or mythical Red deer that is frozen ohhhhh that would be amazing
So many pics
the irony on the names though
and the only reason i know i need 9 as well
its not that hard to do the longbow one either provided you know how you shoot
where are the poacher traps on the mission on vurhonga?
wich is the long ranged shotgun? and is ity a part of a dlc?
How is the Mosin vs the default Ranger, should I switch to it?
the 2 guns cover different classes
the .243 covers 2-6 (really effective on 2-4 though)
while the mosin covers 3-7
they do complement each other nicely though
afaik the .243 is THE best gun for 2-4 i havent found anything better
Ah okay thanks, I'm gonna try out the Mosin with my bow for smaller animals while my buddy has his 243 for now.
The Mosin is 3 to 7 not 4 to 8
oh f i had it confused with the m1 ill be correcting that
I just wanted to let u kno didn't kno if u thinking it covered to 8 but it should work 8s honestly ik I seen Mosins do work on big game animals lol
you will miss a harvest check if you shoot at 8's with it as the ammo is only 3-7
Yea ik
You might be talking about Grankin's shotgun and it's part of the Medved map dlc. You have to do a mission to unlock it.
where i can find bug report link i don't see bug channel where link yoused to be
i only get note Please stand by, while we are checking your browser... when i click steam bug report
yes
anyway when you complete all main quest line in Vorhonga Savanna all animals are gone not a single animal anymore, itry to verify,boot select different region none helps
#882552595745484801 ? check pinned messages
also i havent been in vurhonga yet so i cant help there
can see £support-cotw channel
The report-a-bug channel has been temporarily hidden as the site is down.
...O wait
you're missing the COTW role
You also have to pick up the COTW role from #887274968801480736 to see that specific support channel.
hmm where i but thathone?
Does anyone know if you can plug in a usb chip into your PS4 that has all the hunter call of the wild data on it and save the data then take it to another ps4 and plug the chip in and play with all your saved data?
web address https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new only tells me Please stand by, while we are checking your browser...
Yeah the site's down right now
load to the cloud is more safer than that
Can you do that in ps4 @stone rock
i think not
i doubt sony would let a loophole that big stay freely
Yea
@tranquil tundra ok thx
yes u can u use the ps4 cloud
well sonys cloud
btw how to report cheaters in MP?
u press the start button when the game is highlighted but not loaded and it says upload or something like that im not on mine right now to walk u threw it fully
outta there hands they just dont allow talking about the mods but not much they can do unless they built a anti cheat client
they would need to put a ip or mac address ban software for the game to run threw but idk if they could figure it out with out breaking the game like it was before :/ im glad its playable and enjoyable again
Hi, me and my friend have run into a problem while wanting to play online. Somehow the game keeps crashing when one of us tries to create a multiplayer lobby, the crash happens while loading.
Additionally, I got the Bloodhound DLC recently so I claimed mine at an outpost but I kind off rushed it a little and I'm curious if I can still edit the skin, name and gender?
you can use the in game cash to get another dog
as for mp issues no idea srr
what system
PC.
But I can't change my current one?
cant change the current one
no u cant edit the dog either have to buy a new one
Damn...
its not that tough to train the doogo if you have the geese dlc just use it while hunting geese
as for the in game cash required its even less of an issue if geese stuff is available
I'm new to the game so I don't really know how everything works yet but it is really complicated with all of the different weapons and idk if this is just the game or me being a rookie but so far my experience with the game has just been shooting an animal once, running for 20 minutes after the trails and then making another shot while repeating the process. Am I just playing it wrong or is that supposed to be the gameplay?
Where are you hitting the animal, and from what distance? Also, which animal are you hitting?
id say its a bit of both
as you are probably missing animal vital or shooting with the "wrong"weapon
I was hunting a bear...
With the .243? that'd be why.
The starting rifle isn't powerful enough for bears
Yeah, it's really hard for me to know which weapon to use haha.
If you look at the ammo in your storage, it will tell you what class of animals you can hunt with that ammo!
even then the weapon might be subpar though
I bought the game and all of the DLCs so I got a lot of free weapons but I have no idea how to determine which one is the best.
example the 7mm vs class 9 animal
There is no "best" weapon in the game due to the class system
Once you use the correct power weapon and ammo, go for a vital organ. Lungs are easiest to start
it will keep the harvest check but tough to down the animal with it
You basically learn which weapons are best from experience
So it's just a lot of trial and error then?
also generally the polymer bullets are better
If you have the Hudzik .50 cal, it is awesome on anything class 4 to 8. Deer, bear, elk, moose
Nothing better
One shot, long reload though.
Fun though!
Yup, but if you hit a vital, no chasing 20 minutes
Ahhh alright, is that one of the DLC weapons?
Ah alright, great.
Yes smoking barrels. That also has the M-1. Which is perhaps favorite overall rifle of most players in game
Thanks for all the tips guys!
Without DLC, you want to switch to polymer rounds for .243 as soon as you can, and the .270 will be a step up from there temporarily
Actually, all three of the guns in the Smoking Barrels DLC have become some of my favorites
whats a good place for european bizon and what is there times
where is that from?
I made it myself
no problem😁
It is also a part of a Hirschfelden Guide I made a month ago, the guide has hunting methods(to find zones), times, ethical calibers, locations and all that stuff.
for all Hirschfelden species
where guide? 🦧
if you click on my profile my youtube is linked there and it should be pretty easy to find from there
.22 is good for geese?
Yes.
Thanks
wheres good zones for whitetail
which map
layton
I would look all over Balmont, Cheelah Lake, and I've got some herds up in Chopeeka too. Since Layton was updated, white tail seem more scattered around, to me anyway
Well around Cheelah lake you're mostly aiming at drink zones and I don't recall what those are. I would just look around the lake for WT tracks and find need zones by tracking them
thanks
I've spent more time on Layton this playthrough starting in September than on any other map, and I've found White Tail herds in pretty much every zone. But there tend to be one or two groups per zone, and no zone seems to be a concentrated area for them. I've found some reliably in the shore area south of the railroad where you start on the map too.
WT drink time on Layton is around 12-15:00, but I've had some weird ones. Best bet is to check water around that time and find your drink zones. And yeah, I've found them pretty much everywhere, but Balmont and High Lake regions are the best for me.
my ammo will not equip for some reason ? Its 420 grain broadhead arrows on the bearclaw lite
im assuming you arent attempting to equip the 420gr bolts on a compound bow?
yes , wont work on crossbow either ? Is this a bug
as for the bow, try unequipping the bow from your inventory (remove it at the inventory cache), re-equipping it, then try equipping the ammo again
still won't work ... ill restart game see if that helps
Should be these, and not the bolts or the traditional
@brisk olive ⤴️
yep thats the ammo
I haven't used that particular bow, but haven't had that issue with the Razorback, Orpheus, or Hawk's Edge
alright cool
where and when have people had luck hunting rio grande turkey? i have 16 tents all over the map and have a diamond of every other species on rancho besides mule deer. haven’t seen hardly any
They're concentrated on the eastern half of the map.
I get lots of them in the northeast and southeast corners specifically.
I try to catch them at their feed zones, particularly the 4:00-11:00 ones
they're like pheasants in that a lot of zones are in open areas, but sometimes you'll get a flock that sticks to the trees
awesome, i think i have a few spots in mind
Crow caller is your best friend if you hear one.
because using that, if it gets them to respond, will hold them in place for the duration of the call's effect
I use the crow caller to find turkeys, it gets them to "shock gobble", then use the mouth caller to bring em in 😁
This is good info thanks I thought they was just about everywhere
Yeah you won't find any in the desert areas
not unless one got spooked over there for whatever reason
i cannot seem to join any of my friends for the life of me, though i can join normal multiplayer games with no issue
what platform?
pc
how did you try joining them?
through steam itself
though i can join them perfectly fine if their in a public multiplayer game, just not if they're hosting
are their games set to "private"?
no, just friends
have them invite you
well see the main issue is, no matter what means of attempting to join them
the game will just crash
that would have been helpful to know
my apologies, caught up in somethin currently
did you try verifying game files?
multiple times, yes

I just killed a 8 - mythical red fox how good is that?
one below max level. big, but they get bigger
what i do is i buy the weapon and under the buy button there is a compattible item button that shows all the scopes and ammo you can buy for it
It was silver. Is it because I shot it with a .243?
what did you hit? cuz .243 is ethical for foxes
The leg lol
that explains it
I shot it from far
you know about the harvest check system?
I don’t understand
there's four checks you need to pass to get the highest medal possible on an animal. they are:
-Use appropriate ammo (i.e. using the .243 on a fox will pass this check, but using the .270 on said fox will fail it)
-Hit at least one vital organ (vitals are the left/right lungs, heart, liver, lower/middle/upper neck, and brain)
-Do not damage the trophy organ (this is almost universally the skull, so dont aim for the head)
-Shoot the animal no more than twice
So lets say you have a gold-scoring animal in front of you. if you pass all four checks, it makes gold. if you fail at least one check, it drops one level, in this case, from gold to silver
Oh wow okay
so in the case of your fox, you almost certainly failed the "hit vital organ" check
gold
(btw missing a vital organ is by far the most common check players fail)
silver, gold, and diamond all depend on the trophy rating of the animal, which is determined by the size of their trophy organ
That is confusing
here's an example
a whitetail deer's trophy organ is the antlers
the larger and more complex the antlers are, the higher the deer will score
lemme give you a visual example as well. here's a couple of blacktail deer from both ends of the scoring range
tho this is an extreme example, you can pretty clearly see the difference in antler size
in fact, every antlered species and some horned species have a system known as TruRACS (True Random Antler Configuration System) in place to randomly generate antlers or horns for supported species. basically, it takes a rack shape and varies a bunch of different parameters, and then the trophy rating is determined based on those parameters (i.e. beam length, beam spread, number and length of tines, beam mass, etc)
@dusty panther
@hidden basin I’ve screenshotted all this. Thank you for spending time explaining this to me!
👍 and if you are curious, all TruRACS-supported species have a "TRUSCORE" button at the top of the harvest screen, where you can see what exactly contributed to the trophy score.
Here's an example of this on my diamond moose
the exact parameters vary from animal to animal. it wouldn't make sense to have "no. of tines" be a factor on a water buffalo, after all. but they all essentially boil down to "size, mass, and complexity of the antlers/horns"
That right there is some professional explaining and teaching daaaamn
you can mouseover in the harvest screen on Trophy rating and Harvest check there it says what score is diamond and what you need to do to get the harvest check right
So is it just me or is Custro Colinas very empty?
I love the look of the reserve but after 3 hours of hunting we've seen like 4 deer and a boar herd
This is without us running and scaring things
Check the lakes around the four hills between 8 and 11
You will have ibex for DAYZ
Ah I'll try that out then. We mainly roamed foenriver and through groves and besides the one boar horde we saw almost nothing.
whic arrow+bow i use in hirschfelden red for quest i havw trye seceral bows+ammu as seem they are too powerfull?
i mean that red for quest?
red fox
okey thx
Hey, so a friend and I just bought the game (and all DLCs) on humblebundle. We've been playing 1-2 hours and shot some animals. We just wanted to play a quick session to get a feel for the game. However we have some questions
-
Does all progress get saved in multiplayer? Should always the same person host, or does it not matter? We intend to always play together.
-
I've seen that in singleplayer there is some kind of mission. Is this simply the tutorial? Should we complete it? Is it available in multiplayer also (I think there are "challenges" in its place?). Do we miss out on something if we only do multiplayer and never singleplayer?
-
Generally, what should we focus on first / do first? What would be recommended to "get into the game"?
-
Regarding the DLCs, should we wait to use / activate some features or should we do just anything right away? For example, I think I'll wait with the dog such that I will get a better feel for hunting without one
For now we really like the feel of the game but are a bit lost
- Yes, host only matters if they have tents or other stuff in the map, If the other does not have tents and blinds and the other does the one who has should host, also if you dont own the map any tents or blinds dont save but if I remember right if you own the map you should save the things
- Missions are singleplayer only - they're not essential to the experience, so you're not losing much in the way of core game play by only playing multi-player, but most of the storylines are fun to play through and there's some exclusive rewards from missions, so I'd recommend checking them out eventually.
Also they give alot of xp and money
- Having all DLCs, you have less pressure on unlocking gear through weapon scores, but I'd still reccomend putting in the experience to unlock some of the things you need weapon score for - mainly rifle scopes. Essential gear like rangefinder binocs and callers are unlocked with character levels, so try to raise that up as much as you can too.
- that's entirely up to you~
- Generally theres nothing you should do first, just learn to hunt and thats it
- I don't think so, you should utilize most of the dlc's you have, some of them may be a tad expensive ingame money wise
no i didn't pass quest it says harvest 1 fox 66lb bow whic arreow and wich bow and arrow ai ghave to use, y sgot arrow with 4 koater CB -64 hephaestus and arrow 480gr bwordead arow, an i didnät pass
Ok thanks very much that helps a lot!
Is it right that "the goal" is to basically shoot every type of animal with a high score? And in order to achieve this, you progress through the game, unlock skills and weapons, etc?
And then of course, "my real goal" is to always be better than my friend 🙂
i take now alecdrader abcik ow which ammo ype fti there?
fit?
loo like none ammo fits on that
now i'n stuck
so thre'snot arow for alexader low bos ahs, bummer when i can't finish this quest.....
well I mean technically it's to get a diamond of every animal and complete all the missions and side missions. but in reality the real goal is to have fun
bro are you having a stroke or?
now i manage to do thet ques i used Alexdrader longow ask and arrow 420gr broadhead arrow
How many kilos is a diamond moose?
If you mean the quest that asks for a draw weight of 60lb, you HAVE to use the Razorback or the Bearclaw, since those are the only CB-60 bows
If it asks for a draw weight of 70lb, you have to use the Hawk Edge for the same reason
None of the quests ask for the traditional bows
When the mission asks for a specific bow weight and you use the wrong one 😩👍
Or the CB-65 for that matter
OMG GOT A GOLD MOOSE FOR THE FIRST TIME
@worldly stirrup look what i just did because of you YOU ARE A GOOD MAN
Should i put this gold one in my trophy lodge?
it would be move nive to put lakes names into map
Totally up to you but I have mounted lots of golds I liked just to have things to mount. You can have as many trophy lodges as you like
And I have mounted silvers and bronzes for their furs
I have shot moose at 450 yds. And at 5 yds. If you think you can make the shot, go for it
I made a double lung shot on this gold one
You might not get as much penetration at longer range but it is usually enough with an adequate caliber weapon
1200ish lbs IIRC am afk
Or 2,721,554 carats @proper sable
Brb gotta eat
Any one knows why youtube laggs when i put something up on the second screen wile playing
That's more of a #🦝︴off-topic question
but if I had to guess, your computer can't handle both things at once.
i killed a big deer and a bear from my stand and moved off to another part to track a 3th kill i fast travel closer to my other 2 kills and when i get to the spot i dont see any animals anymore
i could pick up the body's and saw a flashing screen of a bison kill
Did you fast travel?
yeah
Render bug.
Whenever you fast travel there's a chance that the animal could disappear you will still be able to pick it up but the actual animals body won't be laying there
FT is a semi-reliable way to trigger what's left of it.
I wouldn't tax it because it's not going to have horns/antlers in the lodge.
so never fast travel with kils still on the map fck me !
If it's important yes
it was a pretty nice mule tbh nothing fancy but my biggest one for sure!
yeah I try to never fast travel if there is an animal on the ground
It doesn't always happen tho
Always happened with me so far.
I've had a few times where I forget, fast travel, and the animal is still there, but usually it evaporates
the dog will even follow the blood trail to where it would be then immediately revert to idling
yep
with E i could pick it up i saw a flashing screen of a bison kill and got some gold / xp etc
That's usually when it dawns on me that I forgot!
Yep that's the render bug.
Is melanistic rare?
almost always
I got a whitetail melanistic so its that rare?
Okay
hey guys, i cant complete the mission to make hunting pressure in jonsdorf... I shot like 20 animals now inside the zone... What can i do?
The kills all have to be in the same-ish spot in order to build up hunting pressure
So you just need one spot to have that bright pink
Haha, yes. I'd suggest setting up a goose hunting spot and you can get it with one flock if you're good 😉
there should be red deer spots
dont thing there are field so goose wont work
Oh, I thought there were fields in that area
I must be misremembering.
I could have sworn I completed that mission by destroying a group of boar in a field
there are more than one pressure missions
so its quite possible you did
Ooooh. Well, hope we helped anyway 😄
I think they'll only land in corn/wheat fields
okay
your right my bad xD to bad i just spend allot of money to buy the top of the line pc 😉 and have a beast of an internet connection 😛
What am I supposed to do here
I got the orange mission icon but when I walk close there are no options
iirc you just walk a ways past it and it will trigger
Oh wow I was supposed to take a picture of it I am annoyed
anyone want to help me unlock outposts in rancho del arroyo?
Moose are everywhere on Medved
anywhere moose can spawn, there could be a diamond moose
It's a nice green
Are you not part of the official staff anymore?
Can anyone tell me the region to find the cave for Bronze Age IV?
Which one is that, exactly?
He is, support color just changed
Says something about hollowed mountain
I have no idea where hollowed mountain is lol. I’ve looked over the map multiple times and discovered what caves I could. Thanks @tranquil tundra I see what was throwing me off now. The flag marker is offset from the cave entrance
yeah Pustaya Mountain = Hollowed Mountain
Nevermind, there is no marker for the cave. That’s why I couldn’t find it. Thank you so much @tranquil tundra !
NP. Also, ping not necessary.
Sorry lol. Force of habit
620kg
What are the possible fur types?
Albino, melanistic, and piebald
common, piebald, albino, melanistic
There's also mocha, but that one's mission-exclusive on Te Awaroa
Shoot
heres a piebald one for reference
That’s sick
albino is all white, melanistic is all black, mocha (te awaroa mission exclusive) is similar to piebald but with less white
What’s the rarest?
melanistic
on most animals that have a melanistic fur type, it's usually the rarest and often the most sought after
exceptions include the european rabbit and the chamois
on moose its mocha ...cause you only ever get one
Unless you start a new file.
or your me and well never get one
i forgot lodge is kept even if you "new game" right?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I say if you just put your lodge data in your new game save file it would work
dont think you need to mess with files of any sort
then again im not going to play around with new game unless some achievement bugs out again
Oh I don't think I will ever play around with new game ever
i was of the same opinion until the paleontology one in medved went bad for me
Yeah you keep lodges with new saves
I say this as someone who's started multiple new saves
lol
so i set up a tent next to a feeding zone and then i set the time and nothing was there at all
you are not invisible while resting set the tent 200 or so meters away
how close?
prob about 50 meaters but when i arivved there was nothing there
if you fast-travel to a tent or outpost, any animals within a 200m radius of it will not be rendered in. so set the tent around 250m away just to give some wiggle room
he rested but again you arent invisible while resting
Question: How do you find out how many of each species you've harvested? I keep seeing people say "I got my diamond XXX at 286 kills" but I don't know how they're counting them. Is there a screen I've missed somewhere? I'd like to know how many mule deer I've knocked over and still haven't found the diamond I need to finish PF...
in codex>hunter > hunter profile you can see your grand total
no info on specific animals though
Ah ok, so people must be manually counting those numbers? That's dedicated I guess
I have a couple of questions what map are the water buffalo in and how do you change the view of an animal when you claim it
PC?
Yes
if on pc its the right click button
also you might want to check the rules channel and set up roles
water buffalos are on pargue fernando
I have that dlc what roles?
would depend on which roles you want? check the channels
