Aight done
you have classic and not cotw?
I have both
ah nvm then though for second you are asking about classec(of which i have no idea about)
the .300 and the .338 should be good for them
the 7mm can technically down them but need expert sharpshooting skills
Puma blackbuck axis deer mule deer cinnamon teal red deer
4k?
I dont know much about that stuff, I play ps4 and have a somewhat old tv, but it still looks very nice
I dont know resulution stuff, im not into the technical stuff lol
They do manually keep track. Some through a counter, some through pen and paper, and some through other means
Noted. Thanks.
Rancho Del Arroyo
It looks like you can't buy it, you'll find it somewhere, right?
it's unlocked via a story mission
can someone send me a picture of the guns that can take down the water buffalo
best spots on parque fernando for big mule deer
Lakes at the top around Bosque Muerto. Bottom end of the lake with a spiky shape in the north/north west. Diamond shaped lake in NE of map. Either lake in Lago Bebe. Possibly the bank of the big river to the east but I've only had mixed success there. Hope you get a diamond faster than I have(n't).
Can you do the missions in multiplayer?
Don't think so but I never tried. Scroll up though. People ask that about 3 times per day. By now, I should really have remembered the answer but I'm constantly distracted by mule deer.... š¤¬
Ah haha i see
Is atv hunting a thing btw?
Specifically disallowed, I read somewhere once. But if you happen to come across something which didn't run from the noise when you were still 500m away, you can hop off pretty quickly and have a go.
Crashing into animals hurts you, not them, in my limited experience.
PS - don't crash into the sharp end of a water buffalo. They don't like it, and I liked it a lot less
i lost all my progress, what do i do?
Unless you keep a manual backup somewhere, unfortunately there's nothing you can do.
#šļø“support so the devs have another case of this happening. It's a rare issue that's being difficult for them to pin down the cause of.
my dog didnt loose any progress atleast lmao
oh man
i can still fast travel to outposts ive been to
#šļø“support with all that information
Whatās max score for cape now
162.5
Nothing on Vurhonga has the tru- system yet.
though I have a suspicion we might be seeing at least one soon
It's very close to max.
So long as it's the full harvest screen I don't see the harm in it
also, you may want to pick up the roles from #šļø“rules and #887274968801480736
Itās a lodge pic
as axis deer have the Truracs system, they don't really have one.
There isn't really one due to true rack
They've got a glass ceiling score, sure, but the actual max is something no one has found yet.
#šļø“support you can report it here and curiosity What is the bug?
When I go in to multiplayer and create a multiplayer lodge it crashes every single time
Why does it do that
Yeah that's a known one
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
been around for a while and apparently one of the trickier ones
It's done that for a long time at least for me
Except just recently it started where I actually could not start a multiplayer Lodge to save my life
It only did it for me after rancho came out
Which fur types of moose should i tax?
My lodge use to let me in and sometimes let people in then it started working and now it wonāt let me in
Hmmmm now I'm curious to know if it has something to do with how many animals you have in your Lodge of the chances of it happening
My lodge is almost full
Really any you want I would of course text any kind of non-commons but it's fully up to you what you want in your lodge
Ok but which fur types is rare for moose?
Yeah my lodge is almost full
If you want to do experiment try to make one that is empty and see if it crashes a lot
do you have a screen like this?
Yeah not in multiplayer
Give me a second I'm going to put a tent down and go back and try to make a multiplayer spring Creek and see if it gives me the option to choose
Ok
That sucks
yes very
You can also make more than one lodge. I have Spring Creek 1 and a Spring Creek 2 so far
Do you have any clue if you're able to choose or how you're able to choose which one loads for multiplayer server?
I have two spring Creeks as well
And it doesn't give you the option at the beginning
No clue on my end anyway
Iām just glad if I donāt crash visiting them myself
What are some good gun combinations i could have?
Oh so am I it only crashes for me most of the time whenever I try to switch from Lodge to Lodge instead of going back to the map then Lodge
Your favorite guns for all the classes pretty much
Classes?
The class of the animals like white tail is 4 water buffalo is 9 mule deer is 6
You have to use a gun with the ammo to cover that class if you lower or higher it won't pass harvest check and you will get one less on the medallion where gold would be silver diamond would be gold and so forth
My primary setup for most maps is 22 rifle 243 7 mm and 300
why you steal my setup lol
That can range from different maps
Oh 4 weapons
I technically don't have to carry the 300 because of the 7 mm can do the same job I just carry it around if I have the spare space
Is there a keybind to switch ammo type easily of a weapon?
Oof
That would make life with shotgun so much easier
And with my rifle too
technically the drilling rifle can
but its only switching rifle and shotgun mode
Talk about unrealistic
see like this is my rancho setup
The 243 is the starting rifle?
Wait , you got enough space for a tent and 4 guns?
Yup
Oh i see
I have the pack mule perk and the small fanny pack thing
You can have a different loadout for each reserve?
nope 1 loadout
Ah so i need to manually switch okay
yep
Well , i use the 22 too for rabbits turkeys etc
Yup
Me to if they are long range
I use the shotgun for close range
Sup 70m
Sub*
I got like a shogun i guess for fun thats usually on birdshot for small stuff
Yeah same
But im kinda lacking on the longer range and bigger animals
I got that m1 or something
With .30 i think
I shoot everything from deers to pigs but the bigger things never get 1 shot
Might have to buy that 7mm you mentioned
And i could put like the big zoom scope
if you mean the argus its not that good when shooting under 200m
š§¢
you start a bit more zoomed in
also the scope is fatter so it blocks more of your screen
so its difficult to find you target on short distances
as for the 7mm unless you manage to get heart or double lungs on class 8 and 9 prepare to run searching for the animal
Do male antelope jackrabbit make diamond or female or both?
males do iirc
Okie dokie
Sheesh. I change my loadout for each reserve and sometimes in the same reserve depending on what I am hunting. Every weapon (almost) has its use
The only constant is I almost always have a bow (since it covers all classes) and a 4-8 rifle
I would have a yard sale to ditch the Strad and the 7mm if I could. Maybe the Martensson but hopefully it will be improved
(And a shit ton of ammunition)
Is there any other scopes for Hudzik. 50 caplock sol?
Nope, just the one
GUYS JUST HELP ME !!!
I have the greleck and it's bugged, I just can't choose the bullets that I wanted to use
Are you on multiplayer by chance?
Yes I am
Thatās the problem. The drilling is known to be bugged on multiplayer
On singleplayer it works just fine tho
It's a known issue.
damm
Ok, Thx men!
Sorry I am new in COTW
NP
Oh wow, no wonder. I did not know that about the drilling.
First time using it again after a looooong time! Good to know, thanks CashnipLeaf! Great question Martim š
Are Mountain lions usually difficult for new players to hunt or do I just suck at it?
I feel like of all the animals, they're the ones I struggle to find/track/spot
They have good senses, so it's tricky to sneak up on one
That's probably it, I'm good at shooting, not so great at sneaking.
They also just seem to do whatever they want compared to other animals that I can predict.
Just watched a Mountain lion that was upwind of me about 400m away or something just darting around for fun, then sped off up a mountain.
Speaking of sneaking,
Does anyone have any good tips for a beginner bow hunter? so far I figure I shouldn't try too hard to use the bow without Soft Feet skill and the Arrow Recovery bow perk but I could use all the help I can get.
Good map to practice on is Te Awaroa
particularly the western half of the map.
You're hidden just walking through those forests.
and Soft Feet is definitely a good skill to have.
Can great one spawn in diff furs?
Yes. Though your odds of finding one are...quite, quite low.
Yes, though the odds of finding one are about equal to winning a mega millions lottery

THANK YOU CASH
Can anyone let me know what ammo/arrows/bolts are viable for European Bison? I've been using .243 and .30x06 because it had the Bison symbol on it, but when I harvest it says I used the wrong ammo. I tried checking the wiki but it didn't specify the exact ammo to use
Class 9 ammo
ohh it's the class, I totally forgot about that, thank you
7 mm 9.3mm .300 .330 .470 45x70 10 gauge slugs 700gr traditional arrows 600gr arrows and bolts
Oh and 454
OK chaps - looking for some help with tent placement. At some point, I'm going to finish my PF mule deer grind (I have to think that, even though it's been months!) and I'm going to have a whole load of tents and stands that I can distribute amongst the other maps. I'd like to get set up for Medved Taiga to finish off the achievements for "harvest 50 of XYZ" (I'll complete musk deer today probably, but I still need lynx and bear) in and for general hunting once I've finished the map. So if you only had 5 tents to use, where would you put them on the map below? (I've added grid ref to make it easy.)
5 tents.
five
tents
let me show you where i placed my tents.
Thanks - could you comment as to which of those locations might be most productive for lynx? I'm tracking my kills for the "50" achievement and I'm furthest behind on lynx. Obviously the top map has markers but I'd appreciate hearing your experience given your particular interest...
The upper coast and the bay are two good areas
thanks š
Fu**ed up my screen today, anyone know a fix?
Dafuq did you do to it?
Lol it fell of the table šš
Short of finding somewhere that can fix it or just outright buying a new one, I donāt think thereās really anything you can do
Hmm
yep new one it is š leave the protective cover on the next one might help š
no
i have a video guide on em. give it a watch should help.
they are pretty simple to hunt once you learn about them. like any species.
GUYS I NEED HELP!
so yesterday i was chasing after a legendary red deer but do they despawn if you leave?
it was on a singleplayer game btw but i have played multiplayer with it sometimes but at the moment i was after it i was in singleplayer
dunno if that helps
should still be there
if I understand it right, they don't despawn until you kill them, and then they get replaced by somethign else
until then, they have a route round the map that they follow
so same time / place on another day and you might see them again
Affirm
Also, don't host your map until you find it~
So that others don't swipe it from you
So, I have been trying to grind for diamonds, should I just keep killing the species I want a diamond in?
thx guys helps alot!
Thatās really all there is to it. Harvested animals will respawn with random level (within algorithm parameters which favor lower and middle levels to make diamonds rare so not totally random)
Remove the non-diamonds in hopes RNG spawns a diamond
thx again guys didnt get the diamond but did get 3 golds
If I click new game what happens
What seriously
Dang
I am definitely not doing that
It just took me 2 hours to make 12k to buy the next scope
You got Parque Fernando? Let me put my misery to good use for you. I've spent weeks grinding for a diamond mule deer. Still not found one. Upside: I've never had so much cash or ammo. They're about 1k a pop and you can often get 2-3 at each drinking spot, with 5-6 in a drinking time. If you put your money into tents first and get set up, you'll have lots of kit in no time...
Will geese come to pink spots or do I need to move
Geese ignore HP
Oh I didnāt know that lol. Iāve been moving
I did the same at first. I had two spots and alternated before it dawned on me
But being mindful about HP is a good habit to have
I kill 2 geese every time a group comes through. One with the 20g and one with the .223
I get 5-7 most times with the Couso and Virant but thatās with a lot of practice too
How far should I lead
Which animal is class 9?
Hey, I'm a noob just got the game. How do I fast travel?
It doesn't show up on right click outpost š®
You have to "claim" the outpost first
you need to go there by foot first and interact with the safehouse flag
once the icon turns white it means you can fast travel
afaik lions and buffaloes
so they're like the hardest to kill?
Do we have a screenshot channel on this discord? š
and bisons
gotcha. Im curious what is that animal thats shown on class 9. Its an animal with horns or something
define hardest?
you need a proper class weapon other than that you hunt them like the other animals
https://thehuntercotw.fandom.com/wiki/Integrity
there is a class list here check the the 9
all animals can be 1 shot killed
unless you use are like me and use the .357 pistol with soft point ammo.....
ah thanks
well i guess these are the best in terms of coverage of all animal types
.45-70 Bullet (SPFN, HP) 4-9
7 mm Mag. Bullet (PT, SP) 4-9
coverage yeah but if you fumble your shot you will have to run after the animal for a while
need to be able to get double lung shots or even better heartshots concistently
i guess something like this then?
300 Mag. Bullet (PT, SP) 7-9
.338 WM Bullet (PT, SP) 7-9
.30-30 Bullet (SPRN, HP) 2-6
.22LR Bullet (JHP) 1 or birdshot
my personal setup is 22 rifle .243 and the 7mm
7mm is 4 - 9 but only 1 bullet i think
if you want to understand how bad the 7mm can be if you miss your shot grab it and hunt some moose
yep 7mm is single shot
yeah i prefer something with multiple shots cause i do be hitting my shots on multiple animals
im just going for racking exp and cash currently to lvl up
but il check the 7mm too
i think its expensive as well
yeah the startup is rough
but once you get most of what you need you gonna have a surpluss of cash
you use the 8-16x at all?
I use it for the 300+ meter shots sometimes, but only if the animal's broadside toward where I am. Otherwise I try to get closer.
i carry both the argus and the hyperion
there isnt really that big of selection on binos
yeah i think theres only 1 after this rangefinder one
there the starter one and then high level which also tells range
same zoom nothing more
oh it has range too. yeah il get that one probably
guess i need to get the weapon spotting perk too
all the time
is the docent good for Fallow Deer?
No. The .223 is terrible at almost everything
oki
It's easy to dismiss it because it's the weapon you start with, but the .243 is quite good at 2-4 And I still use it at level 60 having unlocked everything
@harsh berry also make sure to have 20 decoys and be in a straw/corn field
if you are in multiplayer, then its pretty bad when it comes to flocks coming to your location
A male kudu can be whatever it wants to be with a little grit and determination.
Is that a yes or a no?
I don't know the actual answer other than that it is an uncommon fur type
I think only girls can be red brown
That was in the old days of binary gender stereotypes I bet Kudu can be all kinds of things now
i know kudu can be water buffalo if some magical bullshittery happens
never seen that happen tho
Can you put a sight on the king 470
yes, but only reflex/holo
So in other words itās really a defensive weapon
yea
it's much more for up-close-and-personal engagements with beefalo
Should I try for a 100 meter shot with iron sights for the 470 on a cape?
Capes are big targets try a euro rabbit
Ok
My screen was a 244 hz curved monitor and i managed to fu*k it up. ):
How
Is a mountain lion scaring off other animals on silver ridge peak ? i have been sitting in a highseat and all of a sudden allot of animals are fleeing
thats probably it
I've taken to shooting the pumas on PF for exactly this reason. They keep scaring off the deer.
yeah i dont like em! there are mythicals everywhere but they are no way special!
does get boring after a while. Gold, gold, gold, gold, silver, diamond, gold, gold....
I was so chuffed when I got my first lv9 puma months ago - I'd been looking for my first diamond for ages
now I seem to shoot about one a week (but still can't find my mule deer...) š
(only pumas mind - I don't mean I get diamond anything elses - just seems my PF is good for diamond pumaas)
Is it even a chance that the devs see the suggestions in #882552632793767966 ?
Anyone got any tips for tracking animals? I always lose mine, because when it comes to a poop i lose the tracks cause i cant see which direction it went.
when it comes to the poop, you usually can extrapolate based on the direction of their previous track
Thank you.
Yall people got any other tips?
So there is no perk or skill that makes me see the direction on the poop?
No max for TruRacs animals.
You sure
Yes.
What is max weight for mouflan
60 kg/132 lbs
132 point what
what's a couple ounces on a mouflon between friends anyway
So I have done absolutely no shotgun hunting so far,
Is there a good shotgun I should use from the start (I have all DLC)
partly depends on what you are doing, but with DLCs one of the best shotguns are the three skins of the 10 gauge. 3 rounds a piece, so for goosing, if you equip all three, you have 9 rounds without reloading (once you unlock birdshot if locked)
Would that be the Miller model 1891
bingo
For other purposes, it's the most powerful shotgun in game, and the only one with slugs usable on class 9 animals
Once unlocked, for goosing I prefer the Couso .16 gauge, which you get in the main story line on Rancho, or can buy a skin of when unlocked in shotgun level
Yes that's the only class levels it can't cover. With shotguns, shooting any animal with buckshot is always an iffy proposition unfortunately. You can do it, but when you spray a deer or something with buckshot, it doesn't penetrate much and you might not get a vital hit. The slugs are better for non-bird hunting with any shotgun, but rifles, pistols, and bows are a better go-to generally
I've still done it plenty here and there though, and it will help you raise your shotgun score
Once you've unlocked birdshot then you can set up a goose stand if you have the DLCs and imho shotguns are the best way to rake in the money with geese. Many use the .22 also, and I use both a shotgun or two and the .22lr for geese
Is the spooky event on hunter cotw yet? And if it is how do I get the quest?
there isnt a halloween event for this year
They had to shelve it this year in favor of other improvements and additions
Does anyone know what else you have to do for the Tourist steam achievement, over and above getting the three achievements for the nenets, expedition and grankin's traps, and photographing all the cave paintings on Medved Taiga (for Art Critic)?
im sending you a dm\
Thanks
Hi, I was wondering what is the best reserve (including DLC), because with the steam's sales, I wanna buy a dlc.
What weapon should you shoot plain bisons with? I shot with 7mm but im getting no exp and cash
7mm is proper for HC for bison, so that shouldn't happen, but the .300 and .338 are superior for it. Or bows.
Okay
Any ammo which lists Class 9s. Some are just more effective than others
No
Is the devs in this discord server?
No.
Considering how it gets in here sometimes, I don't blame them.
So is this server official or fan made?
Official.
This server is run by Expansive Worldsā community managers
Ooo ok
Yall got any tips for moose hunting?
Use either the .300, the .338, or the .50
Everything else, that moose will run for a while.
and please refrain from joke answers in here.
I got minie ball 50 cal is that good?
Yes.
At what distance will it hear or see me when im crouching kaying down standing up or walking?
more difficult animals are also more aware of their surroundings
at #š¦ļø“trophies check pinned messages for an excel file
What is best to hunt? Cape buffalo or Water Buffalo?
your preference
What is funniest?
well, water beefalo attack pretty often
so you can shoot em with bows
not sure abt cape
i havent shot a bunch
Imo water
Okay
Anyone know the minimum score for male moose?
dont think there is one
but 0 is technically the lowest any animal can go
although it will never happen (i think)
There is a minimum for each species. For most species the female minimum is 0 or that is the only score. For males itās usually really low. For example male bisonsā minimum score is 12, but thatās the only male minimum I know
Is there moose drinking on the same spot at a certain time?
This is a map for whitetail deer drinking zones in layton, does this exist for moose?
The entire Y river is a lag fest
Mostly the entire River and all of the lake there in the bottom middle is moose
.300 is probably the best rifle for em
if you have the Yukon DLC
if not, .338 is base game and performs about the same, if only being a single-shot rifle
7mm works too, and you unlock it earlier than either of those
@cosmic bone
Ahhh ok thanks @toxic bane
ye~
Best time for brown bear on medved taiga
Okay
And the muzzleloader. Lung shot drops em
Any one know when it is officially night? Like what time is considered night
Ok thank you
Iām trying to figure out how to get the mozen gun does anybody know where I can find this?
Weapon Pack 2
the Pinned messages in this channel have a list of what the DLCs contain
just note that the Mosin is called the Solokhin MN1890
probably for the same reasons a fair few games don't use real world weapon names.
I love how they did mn1890
ye
i used it for a loooong time, but lately ive been playing on Yukon and Silver Ridge so ive been using the garand heavily
Anybody have a good spot for reindeer on medved?
everywhere (not joking)
Really
yeah the inhabit basically the entire map
Alright so should I hunt them on foot
some good spots to check tho are the bay with the ice sheet, northern coast, and the big lake on the right side of the map
and be prepared for a LOT of trolls. reindeer and their yukon counterparts are one of the three most common trolls
Ok noted
dont much like following tracks in the snow, seems no matter what color i make em they look the same, sure I could just follow with my huntermate i guess.. but ech
still bugs me
Do you by chance know what drinking times reindeer have
Spreadsheet pinned in #š¦ļø“trophies has all that info
Anyone know the minimum score for male moose?
Is a gold roosevelt elk good?
How to know which rarity an animal is while looking at it with bino's? š®
Like, how do people immediately know it's a diamond animal etc.
Lol
Can anyone name me some good skills?
its mainly from what difficulty teh animal has
you will see if you spot an animal it has a difficulty rating
Ah ok, is there a general level for diamond animals?
like "all over level 10 are diamonds"
most animals max out at 5
carnivores are at 9
there are exception
Thanks! š
the max difficult of the animal is a diamond
exception are mallards(max 3) white tail(max 3 though there are 10 which are called great ones) and red deer (max9)
theres more exceptions
whitetail max at 3 for diamond, 10 for great one
well im going to correct that
you can tell i never hunter for go lol
if you set the graphics up to ultra, ye
Is it 4k
well its 3840 x 1600, so not really, but close to there
Whats your res
provided your graphics card can handle the load
To be super specific:
Animals that max at 3:
- All ducks, all turkeys, all rabbits/hares, pheasants
- Whitetail, Roe, musk deer
Animals that max at 9:
- Red deer
- Both buffalo
- Every predator
Everything else unlisted here maxes at 5
Hi, short question:
Is the map the same when i played in single player and other time i create a multiplayer game with friends?
Or is there a different between multi and single?
Sry for my bad english.
As long as you're hosting, both SP and MP have the same animals, on the same reserve ofc
You bring your SP pop with you when you host a MP server
Nope
Not hosting your map~
or that, yeah
Is there like a replay mode for this game?
You can ask your friends to host next time
Where you can rewatch juicy kills
Nope.
Thx for answers.
Hey Ole, you can delete the second half of your suggestion there
It's been mentioned a lot of times already, and you're gonna get it deleted for asking for multiple things in the same post
Emm guys what does this mean ā»ļø in #882552632793767966
It's been asked before.
and will thus be deleted.
Seriously, please read the "feedback guidance" post in the pins.
Ok thank you

gold geese tbh arent too rare
non-typical "diamond" whitetail deer, spawns in as a 10-FABLED
generally requires excessive grinding to achieve
Yeah
I got mine after 284 whitetail, but I was one of the lucky ones
most people go through at least 1k
Basically there is one species of animal which can go above diamond, and it is White Tailed Deer. That is a great one
So only white tail deer can be a great one?
As of right now, yes
How long have yall been playing this?
Since February for me
A thing that affects how much $ and XP you get
used to affect animal score but that was before 2.0 scoring
If you shoot and harvest 3 animals you have consecutive harvest of 100%. If you fail to harvest an animal you downed, you break the consecutive part.
How to see how many animals ive killed of a certain species, and can i do so on console?
im guessing restarting the game also breaks it?
Yes
cant check specific animal unless you keep track manually
Ok
Bro da faq you be countin ???š
there is a general counter though
menu>codex>hunter>hunting profile
I kept track of the WT count for that grind, yes
Oh ok
I thought you sat there with a piece of paper and wrote down for each that you killed š
good to know thanks
Nope I used a phone app
Is a diamond canada goose rare?
semi rare
Bit less so than other diamonds, but all diamonds are good to have
K i got the goose hunt dlc so yall think it will take long? To get a diamond goose?
I take like 3 - 7 each flock
I once got a diamond goose a day for three days in a row
then i had 3 diamond goose in 1 day
havent seen again but i stopped checking now im focusing on fur rarity
Is a gold moose 553 kg something to tax?
generally, if you are starting out, you don't want to tax any animals unless its a diamond or a rare fur type
focusing on leveling up makes you progress a ton faster
Yeah money is better spent elsewhere but if your saved harvests gets full you can always go to the Bank of Canada. I've stuffed things just to put a bighorn in my lodge, regardless of quality
you are going to need cash for weapons in order to at least have weapon to cover all classes
I still go goosing almost every day for tent money or something
Thinking I may go there shortly to get another dog to level up
Yesterday's withdrawal was to buy a second Couso for goosing
The ONE thing I don't like about the Virant: My rifle accuracy went from 79% to 60%.
I am not really starting out i got all the equipment and ammo and sights that i need on my level, and i also got goose dlc so i can grind money at any time, so should i tax it?
up to you
That's like asking us what you should eat for breakfast
Best time and spots for water buffalo?
Northeast corner of the map. There's a ton of them there.
time-wise, really any time of the day. I've found all three types of zones up there
how to get wild boar diamond
shoot all males you see
and continue visiting those spots
23-03 is the best time for them, you choose the map
Can you take a picture and circle a ring which area it is?
I'm not on Parque at the moment
Okay, but when you have time can you do that please?
šš¼
yes to both
You get that one through the main storyline
Okay
Hey Iām decently new to the game Iām just wondering how the rating system works for this game and Iāve watched videos and I still donāt fully understand how it works if anyone has a great way of wording it or understanding Iād love to hear it
I would start by searching for prior discussions of "trophy rating," as this is a subject often discussed. Since it's complicated, mostly because it has evolved over the life of the game, and not by plan, it might be best to start there :)
trophy rating is determined by the size of the animal's trophy organ
Blue lines for general area that they are found in purple dots are good spots to check yellow dots are hot spots for me YMMV the white dot if you sent and that look up power about 30 minutes before drink time they will come across that field to go to that lake that is where I get my first time in I've gotten 3-4 mythicals in a couple of others yellow dots on the coast are good for feed zones rest zones and drink zones the top y'all dots You will find probably when you first start a absolutely shit ton in large herds up there so be prepared the photo below is a list of their needs them times just make sure you be careful because they are very dangerous animals the different fur types that they come in or orange common black and albino after you kill a good bit but very bottom like that has the purple dot will probably gain a lot of water buffalo he went from having a couple for me to nearly having 15 down there so there's a good chance it will turn into a hotspot or could already be one for you so good luck and I hope this helps
*YMMV (your map may very)
*don't pay attention to the little blue dots or the red line
You could check the top of the map between the two blue lines but I've never really found any up there
*YPMV: Your Population May Vary
but YMMV works well too lol
Yeah I couldn't remember exactly what it was so I thought of that and used it
to add to what @fierce wave said, there's actually a mushroom-shaped lake to the south of the blue, phallic-shaped area indicated on the map - I got both of my diamond buffalo from there
Oh yeahhhhh I didn't realize that was the full map
I thought that bottom lake was that one
Shit
well the bottom one is very good
(on the map as shown)
lots of stuff round there between 9pm and 5am
good potential
but oddly it was the one further south that gave me both diamonds
higher numbers of lv7/8 elsewhere
Yeah that mushroom lake was what I was referring to in the stuff I said about that bottom lake
but that one was mostly lv3-6 plus the odd diamond
hopefully @last hemlock will see our further conversation
Huh! Lol mine's actually the opposite the mushroom lake for me is mostly lvl 5-7 and females with a lot of them and lake in the map there has had all lvl 7s but 1 6 and 1 8 but I've only seen like 6 or 7 buffalo there
Thanks! It helped perfectly!
Read the whole conversation below it as well
And yay very welcome

What time is best for goose hunt?
Any time is goose time
Geese only acknowledge the host in multiplayer atm
Yall got any random facts avout anything that might be usefull?š¤Ŗ
Bears shit in the woods
Most the time
Sometimes it's in the river
Rabbits will not hurt you when they run into you
They just push you around
Ok lol
The woman that runs parque Fernando has probably murdered three people and has an army of pumas

what will the dog howl trait do?
Take a wild guess
I think they mean if it has any benefits other than just letting your dog howl (something Iāve been curious of)
Happy day of the spook
Aggravating you friends
YEEES
if you make your dog howl
sometimes other people's dogs will howl too
i think
iirc
been a while since i played mp
Yes that's the best part
it issss
Can anyone explain the benefits of having a dog in the game? Used to play a while back and then I quit but Im picking it back up, been playing again for about a week, last time I played you need consec for the diamond if that says anything
The bloodhound is useful for when you lose track of which way a shot animal went for whatever reason
or for finding a few well-hidden downed geese
@last hemlock Gallery isn't for chatting, hence the slow mode. To answer your question: yes, albino bison are rare.
Okay sorry/ thanks
Guys I'm stuck at the mission "out of her comfort zone" in silver ridge peaks š¦
nothing...
Is that the point at which you go where she encountered a bear and find things on the ground?
Yeah that's the one. This comes up every couple days actually. There are more things to find at that location.
I deleted this game like a month ago and when I just redownloaded it all of my dlc that I already bought have to be bought again anyone know how I can fix this
What platform?
if console, this happened with more than a few people in the recent past, and you should #šļø“support

Where to find whitetail deer at layton lake?
On Layton they are all over the map and tend not to be concentrated in any zone. Balmont region is pretty reliable
On my map there is at least one herd of whitetail in every zone.
i have found them near Cheelah lake as well
Thank you guys!
Which should I buy first the Hyperion scope or the best binoculars
hyperion pays for itself
how do you make it say lb on animal weight instead of kg
Settings --> Game --> Unit System
ok thank you
should i get the high tech gear bundle?
Do you like to or want to try night hunting much?
The binoculars are a amazing tool for nighthunting
yea
Good mornin hoppers neat! Heart
mornin' š
anyone know whether bear locations on Medved are gender-specific? Last night I was trying to do the last Grankin missions where you have to get two increasingly large male bears - went to some of the drinking spots and every bear was female. Think I shot about 9 without seeing a single male...
I donāt think they are
well I thought not too - just an unusual sex distribution then
(I'm thinking about rephrasing that... š§ )
Are there non typical deer in cotw
Possible that initial spawns may be more gender-specific, then they congregate
thereās a thing called āGreat onesā
Why do you ask?
Might be getting new monitor
Play on whatever res works for you
Whats a good res to play thus game on
Its a skill on ambusher the one with the microscope or whatever its called @stark meadow
1920x1080
Ehhhhh
Thanks for your reply, I found out that I have this skill, but my mistake was that I didn't explain what I wanted exactly. I watched some clips and they were looking at the animal after they shot it. They can see the blood rate decreases through the binocular. This is what I want exactly.
I hope my explanation is clear š
if an animal's bleeding out and running away and you keep it "spotted", you'll see the numbers decrease if you've hit it properly
on theother hand, if you screwed up the shot, it'll run off and say "75%-100%" constantly
Oh, I guess I wasn't really focus. Thank you
I have alot of hunting presure on the burrows is that why the buns won't come up?
does hunting pressure affect burrows
I think HP does affect warrens and I havenāt let HP get too high on them, but I would expect itās probably just time of day. They come out during the times on the SS with fastidiousness but if itās not time, they stay underground
That absolutely goes in #š¦ļø“find-a-game
Damn srry
what button is autorun ?
thx
Ween you save your game, do you copy it onto a hard drive so you don't lose everything? Sorry, new to the PC world.... Hopefully this makes since... DD33 was talking about it in a video last week..
Yes you can copy the files found at: C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Avalanche Studios
and place them in a safe location.
Or you can get more creative and do what I do and create a batch file to auto-backup. Just run the file once in a while or every time you close the game for peace of mind. š
This:
xcopy "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Avalanche Studios\*.*" "C:\Users\USERNAME\Google Drive\CoTW BACKUP\*.*" /E /I /J /Y
will copy the save to the location specified which in my case is a Google Drive Folder. Even if my PC were to burn to the ground, I would have a copy of my save safely stored in the cloud.
Thanks! I tried saving it to the cloud. I believe that it worked. Just keep saving that file number to my Google Drive and it will keep updating?
Yep, if you adapt the batch file above to match your username and locations, just double click it and it will do the rest. š

Hey so Iām having trouble getting respawns, do I actually need to wait out the 3-6 days in game time or is there a faster way to go about it?
You can set the time forward a day by resting at an outpost
Thank you Iāll try that!
Hotspots for mule deer in silver ridge peaks?
anyone have any tips for tripod hunting
also any tips for finding diamonds would help
The easiest thing to do is to find drink zones for the animal you want to hunt, then ~150m from it place your tripod and kill every trophy animal you can hit.... and then do that just over and over
I often get that I'm using the wrong ammy type on Layton lake shooting with my M1 / 300 polymer bullets. What weapon(s) would you recommend running beside it for 100% coverage of animals? š®
Thanks
.243 for 2-6 clases and .22 for clases 1
If you just want to cover coyotes, the Ranger is probably best. If you want to also hunt rabbits and ducks, then weight becomes an issue if you are also carrying the .300 and M-1 and you pretty much have to pick and choose. Bows are good for this because any bow can fire arrows to cover every class. Handguns also cover more classes at much lower weight, and the .22 pistol is good for class 1s and the .357 for coyotes
On Layton I usually leave out a weapon for rabbits and ducks and ignore them for that reason. If I want to hunt them specifically then Iāll take a shotgun, Virant, pistol, etc
Some maps are easier than others to carry a loadout that easily covers all animals. On Vurhonga itās next to impossible. Layton is one where you are better off prioritizing a little
Awesome, thanks!
.243 seems good, haven't used that ammo type yet. Which gun would u recommend? I have all dlc š
I would recommend any gun to be honest, they are all good
Just find out which ones you like the most and use them
how hard is it to find male grizzlies. I can only ever find females
One of my favorite weapons to use on Layton, and one of the most potent weapons in the game, is the Hudzik .50 cal muzzleloader. The Minie balls it fires have a combined penetration and expansion which is really unmatched by any other ammo. For anything from blacktail deer to moose, the .50 cal will drop them in their tracks with a well-placed shot
Awesome! I'll def check that out
Super happy to have found this game, I'm having a blast so far, it's so calming š
Me too. Sometimes i can spend an hour exploring the remote corners and heights of maps without firing a shot. Thatās usually when the wolves find me lol
thank you so much
Guys where on cuatro can I find the 4 types of ibex?
the four mountains
At the lakes adjacent to the four hills
If you are curious, āCuatro Colinasā roughly translates to āFour Hillsā
Gredos on the SW, beceites on the NW, ronda on the NE and southeasterns on the SE
Roughly speaking~
there is only one lake where more than one ibex species drink, rondas and beceites in the lake between their respective territories
I feel like my cursor is weirdly calculated in this game. On the map when I place a marker, it lands 10 cm to the right of my mouse. Same on all other menus, I have to click off in order to hit the buttons. Why is this happening? š®
you are not the first to report this. apparently if you use a controller it places the waypoint down exactly tho
Using an ultrawide resolution correct?
That is correct
Is te awaroa worth the money?
it's not a bad map, but for me at least, it got boring kinda quickly. it just didnt bring anything that new to the table.
obviously the .303 is a nice rifle tho
turkeys and pheasants make it worth it to me
oops correct. Warren rabbits though
is 1543 lbs good for a plains bison?
Nah they go up to 2645 lbs
To anyone that has did the quest line for vurhonga what happens if you attempt to shoot the ghosts jackal?
Since you have the ability to spot It are you able to shoot it?
Nvm it gives a invalid Target
if you have a dog are you sure the dog isnt in front of you?
Yeah he was behind me a good ways I just tried again to confirm
chances are you might get a quest for them later?
like with mr black
i recall someone "farming" wolves and something about a church
for some mission
had a mission to kill rare wolf
would spot the wolf check if he was diamond then kill and not harvest
if the wolf wasnt diamond
penultimate mission for cuatro, trying to get a diamond ogro (ogro's size is randomly generated)
and restart game
This is so coool
dunno if that applies to your situation
*part of the main vurhonga quest line
Anyone know a good gun for bison and moose??
I honestly love using the Rhino, 5 shots in quick succession and with the hard-cast ammo the effective range is much higher than what is listed, you don't need 100 pen to kill either
though i'm mostly here to ask for help!
I need to get my bow level up so I can get the Usable Sights, any advice?
If you can set up right on top of a need zone with a lot of animals, that's probably a good bet~
kill one, wait for them to return, kill one more, repeat
or lure them in with caller and try to pick em off one by one
thankyou~!
when you figure that out let me know
It changes a lot
I use two cousos first but usually don't empty the second before they're far enough away that I switch to the Virant but I probably hit 1 shot out of 5
Honestly .22LR ammo is so cheap and it shoots so fast the best way is to just rapid fire in front of it and correct as needed
gud meowning
Did you recently become mod?
possibly
Good morning
Does anyone else struggle to find male grizzlies?
I can only ever find females
male grizzly bears are myths
In all seriousness tho, youāre not the first one to note that
Grizzlies are notorious for their female-to-male ratio
Ahhh. I am wanting two so I can make the bear hug multi trophy
Most animals it feels like 60/40 but Grizzlies it feels like 80/20
Most animals it seems like thereās around 1.5x to 2x as many females as males
Exactly
Grizzlies seem to be an exception
one big exception
just a little bit
just a huge little tiny big bit
thanks guys. glad its not just me then
I have similar trouble with foxes on Yukon, there are about 5 vixens to every dog
I do see that a lot too. Mostly I was judging that based on vocals so there may be a henpecked dog sullenly following each vocal vixen
my experience in hirsch with red deer begs to difer
had entire herds with no males or 1 male 10+ females
OK guys, I've been trying to earn the Peppe's Challenge achievement for the last few days now - does anyone have any tips or suggested locations? Quite often I'm finding I can call the reindeer back in enough to knock 2-3 over, but I've never yet managed enough times to get the 5 heart shots. 4 is my best so far. Also - I keep getting multiple herds. I knocked over 7 with heart shots in one session 2 days ago but it must have been 3 from one herd and 4 from another as I didn't get the achievement. Again, any ideas about how to improve my chances?
guys i have a lot of lag, and it only happenned when i restarted my computer?
it was okay before
i can't even play cotw
I just bought Te Awaroa but what are the best spots?
But that's because Red hinds naturally form groups which are then "acquired" by the dominant male after the rut. What they've done is copy the natural behaviour. You might occasionally find a smaller, non-threatening male tagging along, and you might also find small groups of beta males (e.g. 2-3) together, but mostly the hinds live in herds with the fawns and last year's juveniles if they haven't split off yet, and the stags are solitary.
Have you tried this area? Itās where all my male grizzlies are. (Sorry about the map itās the only one I have on hand)
@sterile pilot
My Yukon is just like bmanās. Iāve seen nearly a dozen grizzlies north of the trestle on both side of the river and the East coast north of that outpost is full of them.
So, uh
what do you do when a mission hangs upon completion?
mission in question is "Wrapping up the book" on Hirsch
Did you try turning down graphics settings?
Uhhhhhh, Iām tempted to say wait, but I also wanna say #šļø“support
What is that mission again?
Last one of the Jager line
Objectives?
Taking pictures of the castle, a certain tree, and one from the top of Bohndorf hill
did all three a few minutes ago and now it's just
Hay neat I just did that one about a week ago
š³
Already tried that. š
Oofies
Oh no
No eye deer then
Dats not gud
going to try switching maps next, after I go goose-destroying so I can get the good binos
Hopefully it fixes itself just from time while goose huntin
Yeah
Have you tried a disabling And re enabling missions?
Yep
I'll try that
is there a cap on perk/skill points
Yes. You get 22 points for each.
22 of each
ok thank you
anyone got any tips to help level handgun score? the ballistics are incredibly unrealistic š¦ . any help would be much appreciated!
Geese with the 22 pistol fastest way, and you get a lot of money too
Once you unlock the goshawk scope it's tons easier but yeah the .22 pistol on rabbits, geese, can help get you there
shooting wolves 5-8 times (all vitals) with a 357 is ridic lol
ill give the geese a try, any tips on hunting them? i havent done any bird hunting in game yet
yeah I just loaded a .44 because I'm headed out on Cuatro. The .357 is useful once you have the goshawk as it subs for the Ranger on 2-3s when space requires. Not a great wolfstopper though
irl a 357 with hollows will drop any olf where it stands if you get a decent shot lol, so i thought it would work well. my only real complaint with this game is the wack ballistics
any tips to make goose hunting easier? ive yet to give it a try so any advice is appreciated
well goose hunting is a piece of cake as long as you set everything up right. You basically place 20 goose decoys in the middle of any strawfield on Hirschfelden, and geese will start landing there. The caller isn't necessary. I put a tripod right next to them and wait for the geese to land or get close and start shooting. I use shotguns and the Virant, but it's also a good way to get easy kills with the .22 pistol
this comes up a lot lemme look I think I have a SS saved of my setup
ā¤ļø
I prefer the middle of a large field because lots of geese will drop a couple hundred yards away and its easier to find them
the gist of it is tripod or other blind with good upwards visibility next to a group of 20 goose decoys (arrange them however you like as long as they are relatively close together (like less than a meter or so apart), and a tent nearby for easy access
cant believe i just ruined a level 9 legendary white wolf.... because the 357 (in game) has the knock down power of a wet paper towel lol
WHA
i died a little inside
4 lung shots, 1 brain shot, 2 vertebrae shots and 2 flesh shots to bring it down
at 10m or less lol
Anyone know some good areas to hunt whitetail on Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve? I only have that map and Layton lake
id def recommend getting some of the DLC's though, the other reserves are quite amazing
I got two questions. 1.what would be the best place for whitetail on Layton? 2. I thought I heard of a hidden lake on Layton on the left side that doesnāt show on the map, is that true?
I run into white tail at almost every lake near drinking hours
Wildebeest spots
i havent found any where particularly amazing, but ran into a lot of shooters and need zones doing the main story line there
Cool
OK - gonna ask again about Peppe's Challenge as no-one replied yesterday - can someone tell me whether the 5 heart shots have to be in sequence? reason I'm asking is I just tracked what I thought was the same herd for about 8k around the map - took about 2½ hours - and I got six heart shots from them. No achievement. So I'm guessing either that they weren't one herd, or that a male I shot third maybe wasn't part of the herd even if the other 5 were, and that screwed it up. Can anyone offer any thoughts? (Please!)
I believe it only has to be from the same herd, not sequential necessarily. One or more of those animals you tracked must not have been from the same one herd.
thanks - well - there was a long stretch in the middle where I was a long way behind them
I must have switched up the tracks with something else
on the plus side, I'm now rich and much better with the crossbow
but I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep going at this one like I did the PF diamonds one
not sure I can stomach another 2 months of grind lol
any map that has whitetail deer
layton and rancho currently
Any animals I should hunt as a beginner?
Anything class 4 and under is a fairly safe bet. This is mostly smol to medium deer as well as pigs and similarly sized animals
how does the great one spwn, is it an amout of kills, or a quest or sum like that?
Itās entirely a random spawn
oof
It's RNG. I got mine after 286, but most people kill upwards of thousands
Great one grinds pretty much all boil down to mass-murder of whitetail bucks in the hopes that RNGesus respawns one as a great one
the mission "clear and pheasant danger" just wont progress i have done the mission mutiple times but nothing happens is my game just bugged forever like this or is there a fix
Do you get the dialogue and the mission just fails to register as completed?
fails to register as complete no dialogue
Question 1: where on the map are you killing the pheasants?
rio sonora
The highlighted region on the map, correct?
yeah
Alrighty, question 2: what weapon and ammo are you killing the pheasants with?
beginner shotgun and rifle
As for the shotgun, what ammo does it have in it?
12 GA Buckshot
Thatās why
yeah you need birdshot
You need to pass the harvest check to complete the mission, which requires you use birdshot to kill the pheasant
it doesnt say anything about that
Pretty sure it says āpass harvest checkā
like i know what that means lol
you have to use birdshot and you have to shoot them while airborne (them not you_
nope i havent played this game in like forever so completed forgot everything
Most missions require that you pass harvest check though there are a few which allow you not to
To pass the harvest check, you need to:
-Use proper ammo
-hit a vital organ
-donāt damage the trophy organ
-shoot animal no more than twice
(Second and third are irrelevant for all birds and ducks btw)
You are failing the first check by using buckshot on the pheasant
wow so like the entire population of pheasant i killed so far was all wrong lol
Any of the following ammo will pass that check:
-.22LR
-.410, 20ga, 16ga, 12ga, and 10ga birdshot
-the smallest arrow size for all bows
welp thanks for the help
No problem š
i feel so dumb wasted so much time wonder why it no work
Well, at least now you know exactly what you were doing wrong
While I hunt with a bow a lot, and have shot a duck in the air a couple times, that would be difficulty level 11, and even I wouldn't make a habit of it.
well i dont even have a shotgun yet for 16ga birdshot
