how do i attract pigs
Why do i keep getting 0 ratings? All the checks are good, i hit vital organs, i use the right ammo, but i keep getting 0s
Does, by any chance?
otherwise the female of a species where the male has antlers?
Are you killing females?
Most of what I go after are Roes since i can never get Fallow or any others
Most female deer donāt have antlers, and antlers are the trophy on pretty much every deer species
@open pendant
So does the rating affect the pay or XP you get or is it just for show
it does somewhat
ok thanks, thought i was hitting them at the wrong angle or something
how do i hold my breath
left shift
on pc
left shift
all the damn time
do you use red dot or holographic sights? and which should i get with dlc?
hey guys does anyone know how to fix "Failed To Synchronize" ?
almost never
Does anyone know what to do if your game data doesnt carry over to a different computer?
you can make a manual backup on the old PC, copy the data to a flash drive or upload it to google drive or something like that, then transfer it to the new PC

thanks
Do I need the tripod dlc when I have the tent dlc
Tents aren't blinds
and while the tripod/treestand DLC is very useful, it's not needed per se
what is a good way to hunt trukey
walk around during their feed times and have a shotgun with birdshot at the ready
what's a shotgun with a lot of ammo and can shoot a lot
couso 1897 and cacciatore 12g
Hello question: I have TheHunter on Epic games and i want to buy dlc on Steam can i connect these two? does this work and how so?
You cannot transfer DLC between Steam and Epic Game Store
Or connect an account between both, I think
oh... dang it ty for the reply
ello
should I fire multiple shots into them if I can or should I track them down to finish them off/recover them?
if you care about score, only shoot twice max
if not, shoot as many times as you want
Where's better for bighorn rancho or srp
So should I only be shooting males?
As far as deer goes
Or ig anything but predators
Is there a way to see the harvest screen after you have harvested the animal?
no
no?
for most animals, yes. some animals, however, have female diamonds, and some females are used in multimounts as well
Gemsbok
Oh ok. I've just been shooting whatever but I do prioritize bucks
is it true that all class 8 animals HAVE to be level 5 go score diamonds
males give more money thats all
No.
for the most part, yes
who are you answering?
you
ah isee
but gemsbok
Ty
besides females
male gemsbok have to be 5 (and even then, 80-90% of male 5's troll)
females can make it at 4 if they are big enough
even lvl 5 can be trolls especially males
ik about females
most lvl 4 if not all males wont make it
males have to be 5
thought so
oh one more questions i could find an answer to myself easily but am too lazy are ALL predator animals level 9 diamonds or are some below
i think they have to be lvl9
i knew it
unless pumas? maybe
i havent hunted pumas
every animal that goes up to 9 has to be 9 to make diamond. the one exception is the water buffalo, which can make it at 8, but those are very rare
im not sure, since they have no real range in score
Animals that max at 9 must be 9, with the exception of water buffalo
hey thanks for the tip but that wasnt the question the question was are all predator max level 9
every predator maxes at 9
even pumas?
nice
wait could i have killed mr black after one of the most annoying mission in layton
yes
There's two, technically three missions with Mr. Black
there's a mission pair where you have to choose between taking a pic and killing him
completing one completes both missions
oh i thought thats what he was referencing ;-;
the same picture mission near the lake?
ill stop answering questions lol
i believe it's a different one. won't spoil it for ya but it involves an impasse
i quess it makes sense got a perfect lung shot on it in the first one no blood not even no organ
a coward but as tanky as a rhino
Best way to grind?
Shoot every of a certain species and hope for respawns
Yes.
^
Do they make money?
Can you do them in multiplayer?
No.
And exclusive fur-type animals too
Singleplayer only
Ah ok thx
also, do public multi at your own risk
Wdym?
Oh shit how?
aka low-level super high score diamonds
ah right
don't know, but thats why MP is at your own risk
Is that very common?
It fluctuates
Ah right
Why wonāt it let me claim my trophy i click x a bajillion times and wonāt let me claim
On multiplayer by any chance?
Yea
I got 3 all next to each other instant drops
Thanks for letting me know
is the canada goose the only class 1 animal who goes above level 3
yes, i think
Technically racoons also max at 5.
But it is unclear if they remain a class 1 or become class 2 in the future.
Wait wait hacked multiplayer maps canāt affect your own maps right?
Like I usually check the map
And if I see anybody moving fast I left the server
Leave
And I try chatting in the chat
If you host and someone that uses hacks goes into your server, it can infect your populations
not sure if it works the other way or not because I don't touch multiplayer with a 10-mile pole
Nearly had a heart attack
Sometimes public multiplayer is ok
I try to do ones close to me and are chatting in chat
still a good idea to check for any weird estimates if you end up in a server with L2 diamond elk or something
Iāve never had that yet so thatās good
i once got a 300s moose on a medved server, next one i spot is a 300s level 3 one
Seems dumb to cheat at a hunting game
^
Exactly why it says that on Rule J in the rule list
Anyone have moose spots either map
If you run around Belmont lake I usually see loads of moose
On layton
whats a good dlc gun
how often does my map reset
never
can you fuck the populations
yes, but thats reserved for when your animals are modded via hackers
i feel like im seeing less and less animals in certian spots
That's because animals will respawn somewhere else eventually
it's how the game gets you to explore more of the map
^
alr so i dont need to worry about overhunting animals?
Nope
^
sweet thx
they always respawn, just not always in the same spot
Can someone explain to me how Hunting Pressure zones work? How long does it take for them to go away, or are they permanent? Also do animals still spawn in them at lower quantities or are they avoided completely.
The only way to remove hunting pressure from one area is to apply it elsewhere.
If it gets too bright (as in 4 dead animals' worth of it) it will delete any zones within the radius of it
So basically just keep hunting and they'll move to other areas?
Yeah
Ok thanks
I just got the game yesterday
What is the difference with story mode and multiplayer
There isnāt really a āstory modeā
There are story missions, but theyāre totally optional
š„
So is that just single player
Missions are only available in single-player mode, yes.
HES ALIVE
Is it a bug that doesn't show the audio cue when an animal does a call or is it a feature
it happens sometimes, can't say with certainty if it's a bug or not
are gators in these ponds usually or just in the main river?
or river(s) i guess, forgot there was a massive one
primarily the main river and surrounding lakes. that set of lakes is known to have whitetails and gray fox, among a few others (not gators)
i kinda figured but thought i'd ask, thanks
what is the max level for red deer not counting the fabled the wiki doesnt help
9
thx
how does the bloodhound work
press B select track and it will start searching for blood nearby if it finds blood drops left by the injured animal it will start following the trail until either you find the dead animal or until it regenerates and then just follows the footprints (not that sure about the footprints but that's what i have noticed doing), the rest like stay sit down etc shouldn't be explained.
i was having a question, is sight spotting (ambush tier 2 skill) important skill to take or is it like important only for night hunting to see the silhouette etc?
hey guys any important tips? I just started today
shoot anything you see get the free 270 rifle for moose and bear and try to unlock the 7mm so you can shoot all important classes
how do i get the free 270 rifle
in the outpost go to the locker thingy and go to storage
you will need to buy the ammo tho
what do i use the shotgun and revolver for?
revolver is useless and for shotgun try to get the birdshot for class 1 animals but the 22lr is superior but it is a dlc and will cost money
that does mean hunting with the shotgun but just when you hear a mating call crouch and and start calling for white- and blacktail
oh make sure to buy smoking barrels and weapon pack 1 for the 22lr (pack 1) and m1 (smoking barrels)
ok ty
my tip would be to get the new scope as soon as possible makes life easier
.300 canning or 7mm or 338
So get the argus scope or stick with the hyperion
anyone else having issues with geese landing? i have 20 decoys and the goose caller and everything flies by way up in the air
Do you need any map to access the paid trophy lodge?
No, I was hunting geese w/ a buddy and we got quite a few to land
where were ya at? how often do you use the caller?
Weird because they are broken since this update.
They auto spook at 40-50m
Hirschfelden, we called every 2 minutes or so but weird things is they spook so easily, 30 minutes and we got 1
And they are hard to get
damn. i just started playing again after a year and have been trying to get ducks. when did the update happen
i mean geese, not ducks
Well we tried both
got ya
maybe i use the caller too much. been using it every 20 seconds
since duration is 25
Geese and ducks are broken atm
Think so, wait a little longer maybe 40 seconds after
will try
how long have they been broken for?
Ducks, for a really long time. Geese, since Mississippi Acres released
all types of ducks are broken
when did miss acres come out
Dec. 7th
got ya. well hopefully they get a fix
wait are ducks still broken

Thx
So when an animal does a warning call, is using a lure supposed to attract them or do i just get lucky
I know
But I just run around until i get a call, and a lot of the time they're warning calls. If it's something like a Roe or Blacktail i use a lure and most of the time they slowly come over to me
Are lures (sound and scent) worth using?
Callers, for the most part, yes. Scent lures are of questionable utility
^
Depends a LOT on who you ask
And if I am asking you?
My opinions may not line up with most others, fair warning
Sure.
Productive I think that would need to go to SRP without a doubt even If someone hated the map š¤£
Has an absurd amount of animals.
Any tips to hit vital organs? I occasionally do, but i either hit a non vital organ or i hit nothing and there's just a deer running around with an arrow in his ass
ass not vital lol
aim for lungs
broadside shot
if not you could do a frontal heart shot if youāre good at aiming
Does the dot sight for the bow that puts a point for you help you hit vital organs?
i would think
i donāt bow hunt yet so iām not totally sure
but it would show where youāre shooting so i assume
I feel like i hit more vitals when i'm using it
Might just be me though
Good evening all. After getting to grips with the basics of the flow of CotW, I quite like the idea of diving into the deep end and going hudless (and also removing the glowing markers of doom). Few questions before I do:-
1 - how viable is it to play this way in practice?
2 - if it is viable, any general pointers? (aside from taking things even slower, of course)
3 - I haven't played much with the hounds; are they a help or a hinderance? (especially for going hudless)
Thank you ever so much in advance for any info and pointers. š
Hounds can only follow blood trails and if the animal does not die, it would track it, other than that, they are pointless.
that's not really pointless..
also they give you a warning if your near a animal
also I don't think the animal get spooked by them
once saw it run right into some elk once
Exiting a tripod a few times makes gators float if sunk it reloads them..
Hounds sound like a good compromise to playing fully immersive style. At the very least, it sounds like a fairly useful crutch to ease me into things.
Having checked re: whether they spook animals, apparently they do albeit at a far shorter radius than the player. Still, it sounds like a good opportunity to learn how to effectively learn how to handle hounds.
Thank you both for your input. Muchly appreciated. :)
Does the game actually pause or should I close the game to avoid time passing while I do other things? Haha
Any one got good spots and recommendations for big Mule deer
so i just got the geese hunting pack but the geese always spawn alert, can i do anything or?
Thats a bug.
alright
when I try to launch into either of my lodges, my game completely crashes. Is there anything I can do about it?
does focused shot work with shotguns
only rifles
thanks
try making a new lodge and load into that, see if it crashes
iv tried, and it still just crashes almost imediatly
What happens to my tent if I leave it on an MP server?
it will return to ur storage
nice. ty
Tips for Mallards?
All waterfowl are very broken at the moment
There supposed to be lured in by decoys, Instead you find them on the water.
It's been that way since I started playing (2020)
Yeah they've been bugged for about that long lol
There supposed to work more like geese, but still able to be hunted on water.
how do you climb the vurhonga plateau?
still waiting for them to fix it
is the skill track knowledge number 3 of 3, the last one specifically, useless until you unlock the tier 4 perk disturbed vegetation? in terms of fur type.
actually it's the opposite. it renders disturbed veg almost completely redundant
what do you mean?
i do not have the disturbed veg skill
interesting, so was that from looking at tracks? or spotting
tracks
Tracks whenever your in the map view aka click M.
tracks, look at map after picking up track
The game does not pause no.
got ya, so what perk do i need to tell fur type on that window? i currently dont have it
or what perk do you need to tell fur type when you spot
track knowledge 3
no such thing
just all 3 tracking knowledge skills
got ya
Where do i buy tents
oh what
What next the first guns you get are going to become DLC?
anyone wanna join me on rancho
Which challenge line do you get the sombra wolf from?
Baden story line
Thanks!!
What typ of gun do i need for hunting turkey?
Any class 1 weapon and ammo.
That the number range ammo gives?
yes @random cipher
no
can we get the diamond on every animal?
every species is capable of making diamond
I thank you š
what is gauge lateral wind??
is the .300 canning good??
Whatās the best way to set up for goose. Like distances from decoys and decoy separation?
In my opinion YES. Very good for big game.
it should be relatively easy since one bullet will net you 800 credits
if you shoot smarter
geese is bugged currently though.. fallow deer on te is quite lucrative too
can .243 kill class 4
ok thank you
here is a guide that i made, feel free to use it
Hello can anyone help me ? Im currently playing on Xbox and thinking of getting a pc if I do will I have to rebuy the game and starts if scratch or can I log into my existing account?
you will need ot buy the game + dlc again, however your account I am not sure, if you have an apex account it might transfer over but i know there are some issues overall,
there might be some more info in hte FAQs
varies from person to person
mine is medved
mine is Hirschfelden
my 22LR and ammo are showing fine in my inventory but i canāt seem to equip them in game. is this a known console issue and is there any way to fix it?
Might just be a bug ig Iāve never heard of that before soā¦
Reason: Bad word usage
hey I bought .223 rounds but they're not showing up in my inventory why not?
Did you equip them in your inventory from storage?
Iām not sure if this has already been talked about as Iāve been out of the loop of Cotw for abit, but Iām having trouble goose hunting, they just seem to go alert when thereās really no reason to. Is this a problem or something?
Known issue, yes
Ok thanks :).
Is there any reason to hunt with the bow?
challenge
Oh what?
Oh ok
and isn't as easy to hunt with as a rifle
will it get patched
Most likely
Hopefully sometime next month, yes
Iām doing the missions and Layton and they are not counting when I do the what it says
Is there a glitch
so should i use the argus over the hyperion?
Yes
Saseka is bigger/is the only one that has the "massive" platforms needed for some multimounts, but Spring Creek looks nicer
I am searching a good Spot for duck hunting on layton
im thinking of doing saseka for more african animals from parque and vurhhoga and then spring creek for all other animals that are more american or deeper wilderness
not sure if itās too high of a goal
are cinnamon bears rare now?
yes, at least we think they aare
Hey can you turn on/off the night vision binoculars
Nope
need help game keeps crashing
yes
yea it should
just when you're back up on internet play most recently from local files not the cloud @pine spruce
Where and when are the best spots to hunt blacktail on Layton?
Hey, I started playing on lake map, now switched to Siberia, someone told me to go full immersion: only Mosin iron sights, not too hard for that map? Thanks:)
that seems a bit hard
@sick prawn normally I play with 30-06, medium scope, polymer tips, sometimes bow for close range and handgun for rabbits, should I stay with that setup?
siberia is med ved right?
@sick prawn yes
yea that seems fine, there's no small game on medved so the handgun might not be too useful
maybe replace it with the ranger for musk deer and lynx
I wanted to grind handguns, but that is going soooo slow, so no handgun on this map:) Nothing level nine there?
@sick prawn
no lvl 9
biggest is lvl 8 for moose
yea
@sick prawn thanks for help, happy new year!
What's the various ranges for vision and sound? And if vision is high and I'm behind a bush while deer or something is in front of it(not near) will it see me and get spooked?
I'm just trying to figure out why whenever I go to hunt where there should be spawns there is absolutely nothing
anybody else have a trail that just ends and cant find the animal you shot? tracking an elk and the trail just ended. last blood spot read 0-25% health, ive searched everywhere
on Layton?
yes
Yeah that'd do it
there's a fun little bug primarily if not exclusively on Layton that's hitting elk the most
it either de-rendered or fell through the ground
well that blows!
can animals stop bleeding after a certain point? even if they are down to 25% health? tracking a bear i shot and not getting any more blood
Yes.
ty
no
is making a apex connect account broken on console?
You can login through the "create account" option.
Just put in your name / email / pass.
same email you used for the hunt club?
What rewards do you get for creating an apex account?
i just want the ghillie suits but my account is already linked to something
Do non harvested kills still create respawns?
yes
So on a grind I can just kill and move on
What would anyone say the best map for roe deer are
The one map with the geese
I personally like val-des-bois better but hirch isn't bad either\
Can mule deer go up to lvl 7?
lvl 5
U sure?
My lvl 5 mule was a diamond
there was a period where they were bugged and did go to lvl 7, my only diamond Mule Deer was a lvl 6.
are there even animals who max out on lvl 7
no
No
does the 22lr manage to take out the racoon
so only 3,5,9
Yes
ya
I have a question about that. Iāve seen somewhere that an unharvested animal will respawn at the same level, is it true? Bc i shot a lv5 muley on srp, watched it w scope until it died, and it had disappeared by the time I got to where it fell
Is there something wrong with goose hunting rn? I am having problems with them always getting alert and never landing.
hi! one question... have you noticed lately that the arrows fall faster than before? I fail all shots, and testing on the shooting range they are always lower than before. I suspect I have touched something in the config? or a perk? or maybe this happens after an update?? or maybe I'm just wrong, but before I hit always the center without issues, with the same gear
(all shots were aimed at the center with the green dot of the sight, tested at different distances and with different winds.... arrow always hit lower)
Yup, known issue.
Anyone know the strongest gun in the game atm?
.470NE , .50 Caplock Muzzleloader or .454
Best gun for about 400m? Thatās where i hunt most. I need low drop and high power, any tips?
there is no best gun for that, because it depends on the player, and how good the player is at judging bullet drop, some people say that the Grelck Drilling Rifle has bad range, but I can reliably shoot it at ranges up to 400m.
What is the easiest species to get diamond
i would say turkeys, ducks, any class 1 animal or beciete ibex
difference between 300 and 338
.338 is slightly more powerful, but .300 is lighter and has a 4-round magazine compared to the 338ās single shot
definitely.300 then thanks
hey, my game is set to high graphic preset, is 8x16 scope useless cos animals won't render above 300-400m?(google told me so). It is expensive, 36000, MEDVED Siberian map has lots of bushes, so I don't think that I need that scope there, cos lots of bushes= less stuff rendering. Like in lake district near water marshes there is little vegetation, just some trees, and there rendering is faaar. I only played those two maps, what about other maps and 8x16? maybe I should buy some class 9 cannon, or 223 for better points with smaller animals?(I am running with bolt 30-06). sorry for my English,
plus there is a big gap between 8-16 and no scope, that gap is smaller(manageable) with 4-8/no scope
can anyone recommend map to grind pistols? I want reddot, lake district is full of rabbits, anything else?
is yukon the best map to hunt bison on?
Personally I like srp better for plains bison. But they're both pretty good
does anyone have a picture of the weights for like diamonds or golds?
for any animal
Where is the best spot to hunt red deer on parque Fernando

I recommend both!

Best place to hunt red deer?
Te Awaroa is insane for them
For red deer?
yea
Thx
Te Awaroa, only evening/night drink time š¦
minor inconvenience
dont they come out at day as well like dawn and dusk
yeah, but drink time best time
arent most of their need zones near water anyways
for the most part, yes.
drink zones is the only one i;ve found
some can rest/eat far away as well
but eh i dont do much else than hunt DZ
i dont even play te awaroa but my friend does
i been grinding silver for my first diamond got it today
silver ridge*
then help eachother with zones and respawns.
who
you and your friend
" hdrassuG: i dont even play te awaroa but my friend does "
Im kinda nrw ti the game tbh
it's possible to delete your own message š
ye ik just i was looking for the right map so i can send that and then delete my messages
Looks accurate for red deer
red for red deer and well ill just send the link where i found it
this is the best place for hotspots on all maps
Is thar there need zones?
I know š
You can see all species at the bottom + color
no hotspots
Ok
anything i should add / remove from this list ?? just first starting the game
~~i think u should remove theHunter: call of the wild ~~
what
I have the dog dlc, but im not using it ever again..
Its a good list
why
yea i was watching youtube lol
Takes forever to track, rather do it myself.
It pushes me around 24/7..
Maybe it's something for you, i don't know.
Try it (?) I prefer to play without the dog.
Whatās a good gun for killing gators? Specifically getting lung shots and far distance shots
annoying (imo)
If you donāt feel like tracking something sure, but you can only track animals that have a blood trail
ive never played the game before
Well he will definitely help you then.
ok lol
Dog hardly seems useful.
Also ATV Is debatable?
Its like.. okay but It had zero traction on anything, every map on my new save Its been useless besides vurhonga.
Lung shots donāt kill them imeaditly and they will prolly get into the water and u will lose them if u r grinding and donāt care about losing them or score use the .300 if u want to claim them and want full score neck shots with the 30-6 are easy itās personal preference tho
Ya I do neck shots with the m1 grand but Iām not that good at it and I have a lvl 9 on my map
Def donāt go for a lung shot on a lv 9
U will lose it
I canāt get close tho
Aim behind the ear with the 30-6 and it will drop it
I take 300m neck shots
U donāt need to be close just take some practice shots
On some u donāt care abt
Iām not saying take a 300 meter shot itās doable tho
If u can get to 150
Ya I shot a 8 from 345 by luck
And I got him
But he is on the other side of the lake
Pond rather
What lake
I ment pond
Itās on the top right of the map
@meager hinge See Rule J
Dog is amazing, helps a LOT when tracking downed animals
I'm focusing on missions these days. But I'm having trouble with the picture missions. I clearly took pictures of the animals requested but it's not showing complete. Do I need to get closer? How close do you need to be for pictures to register?
usually 25m or so
@hidden basin oh good lord! That's quite a bit closer then I've been getting. Well, looks like I'm off for a good long grass crawl. Thanks
callers are your friend
If I shoot something then leave will it die
depends on if the bleedrate is high enough
@hidden basin Sure, but I'm trying to take pics of bears. Could I just set up a blind near a need zone and wait?
that's one way of doing it, or snap a pic of a bear running by you
@last hemlock Thanks. I've had it for a while, and it suits me. I like pfps with simple lines, and who doesnt enjoy making eggs and throwing eggs
Anyone know a good way to kill a lot of animals quick in hunting fallow goats or whatever theyāre called they are always in around packs of 20 but with a bolt action you have to choose and pick around 1-3 to take out of the 20 is there a better option as they are class 3?
Feral goats! I guess probably my recommendation would be grabbing a weapon over class 3? The m1 or 303 should probably kill them very easy.
.300 If you want too go hugely overkill.
Iām using 06
Although Iām looking to kill around 5-6 instead of having to pick them off Iāve tryed the 22 but itās to weak Havnt managed to get close enough with a shotgun without being notice by just one and they all dart
And as we are on the goats Iāve for some reason when I aim for their lungs or even head on heart shot they donāt seem to drop
Goats are surprisingly tanky for Class 3's
I can see Iāve slapped one with 2 7mm and one of them hit lung and liver and ran about 50-75 yards
Iām hunting them now and they seem to take 2-3 .06 ammo like a champ
Well if you want to keep integrity 243
102 Kg/224 Lb
I'm pretty sure not positive though tbh
K
question
is the scent eliminator active for game minutes or real minutes?
I wanna say real minutes
you're supposed to know this
q.q
I knew at one point
but I forgot >.>
The wiki says 120 in-game minutes, so 30 real life minutes
good job, gut
You would think the UI would have an indicatorā¦
What are the weapons in the smoking barrels pack good for?
10GA is for class: 1, 4-7 and 6-9. M1 is for 4-8, Muzzleloader is for 3-7 and 4-8
I meant animal wise, and how to properly get the most use out of it
@fair crane I understand the ammo types and class ratings
well, all classes they cover they are good for, and just be accurate when shooting, then youāll see good results.
Can I see somewhere how many animal from a specific species I've harvested?
unless you've been manually keeping track, no
has that ever been suggested before?
many many many times
So my friend shot a diamond on my map but since it was multiplayer will it still be on my map in singleplayer?
Damn it there goes my super rare I grinded hours for
guys, does a bad shot make a diamond worth less?
killed a diamond black bear but i took three shots to take it down
Medal gone so imo yes
so is it not worth taxi
well if you make a bad shot you might not get a diamond at all... In order to get a diamond you need of course a high enough scoring animal, using the correct ammo type for the class, killing an animal with max 2 bullets, not hitting the tophy organ and hitting a vital hit
you shouldn't be able to get a diamond medal if you hit an animal 3 times...
sorry i cannot follow you... the size is not affected by the shot itself but is predetermined before the particular animal is spawning and is then constant
i just meant the size of the skull is the size required for a diamond, but i know since i took three shots
Yes, after you killed an animal it will respawn.. the exact respawn mechanisms are not known, but most believe that the gender will stay the same, so if you kill a male a male will respawn and the level range of the killed animal might have an impact on the level of the new one
okay thanks, eventually i should come across another one so
Does anyone know a strategy of getting the respawns for stuff like what do all the go grinders do?
you could also change the time (for example to the beggining of the drink time or when you want to start the hunt), go to another map and then you can change back again, this should also trigger many respawns
good luck
whichever zones you can effectively hunt a lot of animals is best
Ok
What is the best map for fallow deer grinding?
Te Awaroa
Is there a way you can turn off night vision on the rifle scopes or binoculars?
nope
Darn, ok thanks for letting me know.
whichever one you are the most familiar with and prefer, both maps are good for Fallow Deer.
Te Awaroa is definitely far easier than Hirschfelden though, but even then I prefer Hirschfelden much more for Fallow Deer.
Yeah, Hirschfelden definitely feels more difficult, as a lot of the vegetation isn't as helpful for camouflage and the terrain is really rough, but it's a really pretty map and I quite enjoy hunting on it for reds and fallows
I also shot my first diamond boar on hirsch the other day
I think that the lack of camouflage is a PC exclusive bug, that or only some people have it.
Ah, okay
Sometime I'm gonna try hunting the cornfields again, just gonna slap a tripod out in the field and see what comes by
Grab say... another variation of the m1 (new one or check kills in lodge first) and use that too kill the species you wanna shoot If you go too the safari lodge and place It down you'll get the total amount of kills you've shot with it.
Withcc map can i find pumas in
Parque and SRP (they're called mountain lions on SRP)
oh whitch map should i buy i wanna hunt red deer
Cuatro Colinas and Te Awaroa are both solid choices
Tys
Hey, can't remember the answer to this and was wondering if someone could help! Does a great one only respawn from a diamond or can it be any max weight? Haven't had a single diamond RD and am going a bit crazy š
can neither confirm nor deny any part of that
Ahh interesting, thank you! 
Does this game have crossplay?
Only between Steam and Epic
Ah....
between steam and epic games, yes.
between PC and console, or between consoles, no
That sucks ;-;
witch map is best for white tail deer?
rancho del arroyo
Funny enough, I like Layton most, but the big lake in Rancho is great for whitetails
What map is this?
That is cuatro colinas
Question regarding wind (and how it relates to bows):-
I know that you have to account for wind direction when sneaking up on animals and when firing bows. However, I have also noticed that sometimes seeds/leaves/etc. blow faster during storms and gusts. Question is... is wind speed an actual hidden mechanic? (My guess is that it is, given that I see there is a perk related to it). And secondly, just how much of an impact does speed have?
Additionally -- if it does have a significant impact on bows -- are there any useful guides as to how to account for different wind speeds? A cursory look only suggests offsetting aim slightly upwind but doesn't mention much as to the extent to which one should offset the aim dependent on wind speed.
(Guessing the answer to the last question is probably just "learn by doing" and "git gud" though, heh).
uhh idk about wind speed, but wind affects arrows
depends on the animal
Anyone know what time whitetail frink on rancho?
takes time for them to come into their zones
Yeah ik thanks tho appreciate it
for a moose ?
yeah thats pretty rare
multiplayer?
yup
Whats the goal of the game? Is it to finish all missions, get diamonds, fill trophy room, or...? Does it just depend on who is playing? I have 80 hours in the game and although I love the game, sometimes I wonder why I play it. What should be my focus?
just have fun man
pretty sure thats the goal everyone should have
for some its finding rare animal, for others filling lodges
just do what you prefer
Does any1 have any tips for getting whitetail bucks. Best reserve or any hotspot maps
best reserve is rancho del arroyo

Layton at any lakes near zones
is it still possible to find some real duck blonde on Layton?
Why does my 2019 edition when I play multiplayer say not installed and I can only play Layton?
try re-installing the game and see if that helps
what rifle is the best?

also, does anybody have any tips for getting flying birds and turkey?
I dont know what map to use
deers are the best for me
but anything really

I use the m1 simply because it can be used for a variety of things at the basic level... but
if anyone needs help getting a gold or diamond dm me i can try to help
Then what is the best non dlc weapon?
define "best" for me real quick
what would be a good non dlc gun for class 1 (ducks/turkeys)
Shotgun with birdshot.
whatās the average range on them
thanks
best as in the one that can hunt everything
then by that definition, the best gun would be the drilling rifle, which is DLC
^^^
Unless you intend to play multiplayer. The ammo-switching function of that weapon is currently broken in multi
@robust sleet thing is, there's no "best weapon" in this game as every weapon is intended for different animals
are leucistic turkeys rare?
Will mythical and legendaries respond to calls?
higher level animals react to calls with lower frequency
Okay ty!
Also another random question, if you're in a multi-player server and you build one of the hunting structures, can 2 people get in it at a time or only one?
Nevermind on that one, if you both build it it'll let you both in it together ^^
Not really, I would say uncommon
Best spots for moose?
Bruh how are they uncommon I've seen more Melanistic turkeys the leucistic turkeys I haven't even seen a leucistic or albino one
I have a question
How do we access the trophy lodges like if I bought the Saseka Safari Trophy Lodge what else would I need to play it on Ps4
When it try to down load it⦠it says that it couldnāt find the application and I do have the game installed
60

hi i just downloaded cotw onto my pc from the xbox app, the version I have downloaded on my xbox had a ton of dlcs
is there a way to download those to my pc as well
because I really don't want to have to spend 60+ dollars
DLC's do not transfer over.
No, but there is a saving grace in that the steam winter sale is currently going on
Mmmm
what kinda gun would you guys reccomend for rabbits/hares, and do any of those reccomended guns work good for ducks too? i dont quite care for geese/pheasants/quail atm, just those
Yep, .22 LR is the best one for the littlens, especially with the Argus scope.
When wolves attack in the Yukon, I seem to have a heck of a time stopping them. Any tips for personal wolf defense?
what weapons you using?
Also that
M1 as my main rifle and a 7mm to bring down bison.
10ga and 12ga buckshot will make short work of wolves if you wanna try that
@hidden basin thanks. I actually haven't used shotguns much. But that makes sense. I'll pack one next time I go out.
and buckshot gives you better hit probability, so better chance of landing a hit
Well. I won't have any worries about the range. That's for sure.
lmao
if you wanna pack something smaller, the .44 and especially .454 will have ample stopping power against wolves
12g pump destroys wolves with slugs, so does the 10g but if only has 3 shells, which becomes problematic at some point
Halo jump around and be mindful of which direction they are attacking you from, constantly swivel, and know that when they put their head down they will charge. I've successfully defended myself with Good Integrity kills on the majority of 8-10 wolf pack squad attacking me at night with the 6.5mm Martensson.
I think a few I shot more than twice, but hell, it was night...so even harder to keep track of which one I hit.
What lakes on rancho do whitetail drink at?
At the end of the day from the wolf attacks I've experienced, you have to apply all of the above and get a bit lucky as well to survive. Just how it is. š
But I haven't gotten hit in the last 5 or so attacks that have happened to me, I've been trying to farm a diamond wolf.
Does anyone know if there is a google doc or some kind of list out that that shows all the potential animal "Behaviors" observable in the game?
Animal states in COTW:
-Calm: Default state. animal is just minding its own business
-Attentive: Animal heard/smelled/saw something, but is still doing what it was originally doing
-Alert: Animal stops whatever they are doing and does some patrolling motions to figure out what is nearby
-Alarmed: Animal feels threatened and will start fleeing soon
-Fleeing: animal picks a direction and starts hauling ass
-Defensive: not sure what this means, but it seems to be akin to fleeing.
-Nervous: Animal had fled for a while and no longer feels threatened, but will be cautious for a while. Animals in this state will not react to callers
-Aggressive: Animal will actively hunt down the player and try to kill them. Only a select set of animals can enter this state (Wolves, Bison, Buffalo, Lions, some Bears, and Pigs)
STALKING and CHASING are exclusive to animals with predator interactions (wolves, pumas/mtn lions, and lions). they denote that the animal is going after a prey animal (they won't actually kill it if you're curious)
Does anyone have any good spots for wild hog feed zones? I canāt find any
Chasing too pretty sure! I believe lions probably only do it now.
Puma def did a while back.
All big predators do (wolves and up)
Ye I saw some wolves chasing a red deer on Cuatro once
are lesser kudu's red brown fur coat rare?
thanks ā¤ļø
so wolves hunt you down?
they sure can attack you lol
is a gold wildebeest rare
No
Not always, but they do it every now and then
A friend of mine just accidentally started a New Game, is there any way for him to get his data back?
unless he made a manual backup, no
Where is the folder saves located?
Documents/Avalanche Studios
He hasn't closed the game yet, is is possible still?
He is looking at the folders now.
im not confident he can get the old data back sadly
Assuming they were around or max you could probably give them your save?
I can give them my save? even if we don't own the same dlc?
Uhm hmm
btw, starting a new game does not erase your trophy lodges
Okay, let me know how to do this, which folder to export and etc.
No clue I've never did it myself sadly possible though.
Its just cutting out the correct things because obviously you don't wanna give them your lodge etc.
Right.
Thanks for all the help Sol and Cashnip.
Could Stalking refer to stalking specifically you as the Hunter?
Because I swear some wolves were in stalking mode before becoming aggressive to me.
Where do i found the biggest bears?
why am i getting this failed to synchronize message whenever i join a multiplayer server
does everymap have an predator animal
Te Awaroa is the only map without any kind of predator
ok
Currently, the largest bear species in the game is the grizzly bear, which is found on Yukon Valley
tY
do i get credits if i donāt harvest the kill
you have to harvest the kill if you want the credits, if you are in multiplayer you can have another person pick if up for you and you will get the credits
Ok thank you
So uh my friend and I were playing multi-player, they tried to play with their dog, it completely froze them in place with their dog and they can't menu, climb their vehicle when I push them to it, or anything. Their body only moves when the dog goes to swing its head back and fourth sniffing the ground
how do u change it?
Best whitetail drink zones on Layton?
question
which 7mm better?
the 7mm empress magnum or the 7mm regent magnum
anyone?
they are both the same weapon statistically. The only difference is the color variation. My personal favorite is the Empress Mag.
are blackgold wild hogs rare
how do you guys hunt blacktail?
Go to Lake during drinking time
Probably in date and time settings
yea i tried it didnt work
Hmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
No.
how rare is a gold blue wildebeest
Not very
oh
When I go and look at the spreadsheet for fur types and their rarities, specifically whitetail, I donāt see the tan fur type so is that rare or not?
It was originally one of the three ācommonā fur type variants
Oh ok thanks
Pretty much every animal had two or three variants of the ācommonā fur type. With the Mississippi update, the ācommonā name was dropped and all those fur types got proper names, like tan, brown, and dark brown in the case of whitetails
Thanks, I guessing the spreadsheet will be updated sometime?
Iād imagine so
Click accept
Taxidermize = preserve the animal for display in a trophy lodge
Save Harvest = save the animal for taxidermy later on. you can have up to ten saved harvests at a time
Accept = do nothing and move on
no comment.
I relate to this because Iām from Louisiana
Also I can confirm Louisiana and Mississippi are the same state just different location
you see the inflatable gators on MAPR?
lul
Lul get good
are brown hybrid pigs of mississippi acres rare?
uncommon
does it matter if i get one of these covers?
will i be less likely to be spoted?
It's purely cosmetic
no
will spamming calls
with those whistles and stuff
make em animals act weird
or it doesnt matter
Is it just me or do all of the bears gather together at night, at the top pond of Lake Prospect, on Silver Ridge Peaks? I have found 10 Hard-Very hard (all male) lvl bears. Not only do I see only a half dozen of them during the day, around that area, but 95% of them are Easy, Very Easy, or Female. Night hunting seems to be the way to go around that area if you want bears.
also how do i take pics with phone
yes
press P to pull out/put away the camera
only for cash and xp
and some diamonds
yes, a handful of species have female diamonds. i know three species where both males and females can make it, and a few more where it's females only
are level 9 lions always diamonds or nah
They can troll afaik
Not always
ok ty
what do yall suggest my first poruchase is
in-game?
btw there's a free .270 rifle you can acquire from the storage
i suggest getting a hold of that
7mm is very good
after that i recommend going for hyperion scope and rangefinder, then 7mm
7mm is the first big step for a beginner, and after that youāre pretty much good to go
rangemaster good or no
7mm what? rifle?
and a more powerful acope of course
7mm is a rifle
itās good
what about 470
good, but in less situations, and itās expensive, more of a fun gun, but good nonetheless
right
things that i bought in singleplayer/ grinded for, i can use em in multiplayer?
yes
but imo yes
