no prob hunt during drink zone as well
Hello, I'm quite new to this game, just wondering how I could know where animals can be and at what times? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
you will see icons on the map that say "need zone" and it will show what times the animals will be in that zone. also over time you will get practice and learn where they will be without even looking at them
Thanks!
no problem, also i reccomend looking up some guides from ronmctube, scarecrow, flinter, killclynton etc especially about drink zones. drink zone is they key to most animals in COTW
funny how im watching Flinter right now
also check out the DLCS like silver ridge peaks, and get smoking barrels weapon pack and yukon valley for 300 and M1 garand
I have Silver Ridge Peaks
best two firearms in the game, 303. british from te awaroa is good too
everything was on sale and saw a lot of good players using them
Okay
1 more thing reccomend you looking into how the scoring system works
I did a bit
Morning
alrighty, it will say what class each animal is with a small number and icon. hello michael
Thanks
no problem
where do I find the .303 british?
you have to purchase te awaroa DLC
oh okay
all maps are same price btw
okay
unless on sale, definitely keep an eye out for sales on steam if you are on there
in clasic, they are gone until you re-enter game
then they reset to default number
or at least thats what i remember it like
it's not like that
I just got a diamond Turkey that was a 2, should that be possible?
Rare, but possible
it happens from time to time
Can that happen with any species?
a good number of species can make it at one level below diamond
not all, but a good number of them
anyone know good spots for turkeys on srp
Does anyone know good spots on Silver Ridge peaks to find some nice Elk or Mule Deer?
you can find them in the forests and fields nearby during most of the day as well
Good morning good sir
ty
Is there a list of the animals that this can happen with? Or the opposite, a list with those it can not happen with.
anything that maxes at 3 - VERY EASY has a chance to make it at 2 - MINOR
most species that max at 5 - MEDIUM, particularly those with TruRACS support, can make it at 4 - EASY
Only one species that maxes at 9 - LEGENDARY is known to make it at 8 - MYTHICAL: the water buffalo
Thank you cashnip that is extremely informative.
are lvl 3 turkeys alwyays diamonds
jesus
All #882552632793767966 have threads now
may god have mercy on your soul if you open the support category rn
Sir that's a holy hell of a lot of messages
Would you rather:
A. Grind for a red fox diamond (No initial spawn diamonds)
B. Open threads for feedback suggestions after three weeks of not doing so
Lul
easy B, I'll actually accomplish that :v
Lol
Alright, in that case:
Would you rather
A. Grind for diamond red fox (No initial spawn diamonds)
B. Burn a mango
🥭

Don't make me choose
I am making you choose tho 😈
🥭
🦊 
Would you rather
A. Forever grind until you get a super rare Fox
B. Burn one single mango
C. Grow Mangoes in Chernobyl
I mean I personally would probably choose nuclear mangoes
I wonder if they would glow in the dark 
🥭

let’s go to #🦝︴off-topic if we wanna continue mentally tormenting Michael lmao
Is there any use cases for startle call with the whistle function in the game now?
startle call doesn’t spook animals almost instantly, but whistling near them does spook them almost instantly.
Right so if you are trying to stop an animal in its tracks while its running from you and its far away, startle call and whistle will do the same thing.
Also when viewing an animal and seeing that is in stalking mode, can it be stalking you the player?
for the wildlife paparazzi achievement where you need to photograph every trophy animal in layton lake, is there any way I can see my progression of the achievement to see which animals i still need?
not while it is fleeing, and you can’t really do it from far away, I’ve only had whistling alert an animal at around 125m, startle call I haven’t played much with but I do know that it needs to be done relatively close range. Startle Call is pretty much for stopping an animal temporarily until you shoot, most of the time with a bow since arrows travel slower and it can be hard to shoot a moving animal with slowly traveling arrows.
Can startle call be used while it's fleeing close range?
what does dog bond actually do?
I'm pretty sure it makes him obey you more and stay closer but I'm not totally sure
How do I view my in game photos on Xbox?
The ones I take with the camera in the game
it determines how fast the dog regenerates energy
Does anyone know any decent spot for red deers?
Is it only possible to move stacks of items between backpack and storage?
Yes
but these 4 lakes also have a decent amount of red deer
thanks 🙂
when a skill needs 5 points for first unlock, does every upgrade on the same skill cost 5 points too?
No
No
nice, thx! 🙌
Thanks
What map is that?
Te Awaroa
Thanks
How do I view my in game photos on Xbox?
The ones I take with the camera in the game
You sadly don’t
Oh then what's the point
Missions, mostly
Ohh
Reason: Bad word usage
what is the best location for server hopping
hotspots
please be more specific
@candid elm if the person is above level 60 they are cheating,the maximum level you can get without cheats is 60
Join a multiplayer server, go to a hotspot for an animal that you want whatever-you-want of, check that spot, leave.
Theres not much more to it
How do you get diamond on a lion?
you forgot my question? i asked for LOCATIONS
9 - Legendary level, pass all 4 harvest checks, pray that the lion makes diamond
My brother just scored a mythical, single shot to the lungs, and only got silver
for what exactly. your initial question was too vague for me to put any sort of specific information into it. no animal specified, nothing. just "where"
what weapon did he use
30-06 I think?
I understand that is the max but why?
yeah, thats the problem. Lions are class 9, and the 30-06 ammo is 4-8, so it fails the "Proper Ammo" harvest check, thus reducing the medal from gold to silver
Oh I didn’t realize they were class 9, makes sense thanks
Anyone having issues with animals and there tracks disappearing after a certain distance once they have been shot
Known bug with the LOD script, they should reappear when you get close to where they went down
...unless it's an elk on Layton. then you need the dog to find it
can you show me them when I get home?
The right of the map the river I think
I can't, sorry, but I'm sure someone else can
ok thanks for the help
Np
best place depends on your map, but here's some good spots to check. The lake in the upper right tends to be fallow deer central on pretty much everyone's map tho
ok awesome thank you@hidden basin
Do ducks come back to their zone if you reset the time or are they gone?
They're broken rn @sleek token
What the best weapon pack and what is better goose dlc or duck
for gators, do you wait for them to go on land to shoot at them, it takes forever but i don’t want it to drown
Brain/neck
Length and none
Don't shoot them in the water
none. you can shoost them in the brain without ruining the trophy
(it's actually a recommended tactic IRL if you're curious)
ya brain shots are so good imo, it just ruins other trophies
alligator hunting is actually really cool
as realistic as this game is, it doesn’t do hunting certain animals justice
Is there a way to sync cotw because i have it on my pc and ps4
not between platforms, no
no
thanks
apex connect doesnt actually touch any of your save data btw
ah ok
I'm at one of my wt g.o lakes and the I'm only seeing does. Do I shoot a doe or do I keep looking for a buck?
if it's nothing but does, kill them all.
it'll make the game spawn a new herd in to replace them
Alright
Shot 2 does and a buck came out and blasted hom
Him
You cant
The game isn't cross-plat
Literally lame
Absolutely trash
Can you get the great one without grinding
It's possible for a GO to be an initial spawn
you'd have to be very, very, very, VERY lucky though.
what does initial spawn mean, and if you don’t get that, aren’t the chances like 1 in 1000
also is there always a go present on your map
Initial spawn is the first animals on a map right when you start it
oh yeah i’m way past that
the duck hunting im really disappointed in, even though it is broke rn
So do all animals have a legendary counterpart or just certain species?
Preds/Buffalo/Red deer all go up to 9.
help, nice buck across the river and a doe in front of it, cant get a shot off
@last hemlock gotcha thanks
nevermind, waited till they both were drinking and gota double lung on the big rac
Is there a way to visit the trophy lodge of a friend that plays on Epic, and I play on Steam?
since it will just show my Steam friends
Anyone knows good spots for lion hunting?
mostly around lakes
these are the ones I use the most
this one is great too, I just don't go there often idk why
map found on google btw, not mine
as for the time, I usually set it to 1230
its when they go drink
for the most part
For now I use the 7mm, but I'd recommend the 300 magnum from the Yukon dlc if you can
It's 75k to grind but it's worth it in my opinion
Like, the 7mm is great but it's a 1 bullet gun
Which can be quite frustrating when hunting lions or stuff like that
what is the best trus score taht can happend?
When i shoot a lion he wont die and i try and hit him in the lungs n stuff
is my gun just bad?
or bullets?
what lvl bullet do you use?
idk i use the soft point .243
Lions are class 9, the .243 is classes 2-6. Don't use soft points either. For most guns, polymer bullets are the way to go. You want to find a gun that has an ammo type that covers class 9 so you can get the harvest check for the lion to score high
Each animal is scored differently, and they have no theoretical max, so there isn't a "best" TruScore that can be achieved.
Soft-Points are great if you know how to use them and have a playstyle that fits them.
Are light browns still rare?
Common At the moment
Ok
and it isn't confirmed nor denied that the increase in spawning is intentional or not afaik
thank you
np
but is there somewhere online where i can then see what like the high lvl scores are for a sertant animal
Spreadsheet has all the info
except don't pay much attention to the "max" score list there
Most animals don't have a max if they have TruScore
omg bro you should be a mod helpin everyone out
nah
thank you so much
no problem
Hey blank do you know like what the best animal i could go for in savana
with .243 plymer
Kudu, Springbok, Jackal are 3 good choices within the class ranges of the .243 bullets without going into it's less-powerful classes
Kudu are class 4, Springbok class 3, Jackal class 2
ok thanks you lol
You can still hunt warthog, but I wouldn't recommend it with the .243 as they are quite tanky
it had the info about the rifles but not about the animals if im correct
ok
Click on the tabs at the bottom of the screen
Its sorted by reserve
oh damn i didnt see that
Bottom tabs
Hey blank what does the exoansion mean for bullets?
How fast said bullet will damage an organ
Or kill
So does 4 mean like 4 seconds?
No
oh
Could someone please explain need zones to me?
I approach need zones within the specific time period, camp there often for a while and never see any animals there. Im just confused how to use them.
@distant juniper i found another spread sheet! 😄
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xHSUvCw8UPjlQVE22YRvDYOgpRmhivBS7Ejvqx1izdA/edit#gid=0
Does anybody have a map that has all the tent and tripods out for white tail great one? I know I've seen it before but I can't find it now
like I've seen a scarecrow one
where'd ya find that
what map
rancho
somewhere on internet i found a random sheet
del Arroyo
yeah, its quite outdated now
gimme a sec
alright
how so?
ignore the lake circled in the top-rightmost corner, as that is a mule deer hotspot and not whitetail hotspot
Old scores, old scoring system, not everything is up-to-date
And its missing every map since yukon valley
well damn
so cuatro colinas, silver ridge peaks, te awaroa, rancho del arroyo and mississippi acres
How many tents does the game give you at the start?
one of each color, so 4 or 5 iirc
ok
can anyone help me? im trying to do the misson in medved tiaga The wounded one but i thinks it's bugged. the reindeer makes a warning call at around 200m and then runs and keeps running, ican't keep up with it and it never slows down. is it a bug or do i suck at tracking?
All the wounded animals are supposed to be calm and always spawn in one place unless you spook it
And they run a long time
yea okay, gotta keep trying i guess x)
lol....that f*cker is not calm at all... can't get near him no matter what i do and then he just keeps running for ages.....-.-
Well for me, the numerous times I've done the wounded reindeer+bear missions, they are always calm
i can only get 200m on it and then it makes a warning call and runs-.- yesterday i tracked it for 3 hours and then gave up..
what type of movement are you using to approach it
Not prone, but the thing above it can't remember the english name for it. But yes the low walk and then slow
crouch @river epoch
@karmic helm thanks!😂👍
@tribal ledge hahaha😂
I speed snake at animals for objective things like photos or shots
Just prone and run with my fingers and toes
Omg this reindeer must be bugged... im proning with no gear on.... And the motherf*cker still Hears me 200m Away.....
Allready done that😅
VERY bad Luck😅
lol same tho bc i havent got a diamond yet.....
Oh on that hand i have been Lucky sort of.. got 2 Diamond turkeys😂😂🤘
75+ diamonds
Dang! How long have been playing cotw?
sheeesh
lemme check
@distant juniper since June 23rd?
yes
holy....
June of last year?
yes
@distant juniper yea okay. I'v played since 5th december x)
almost same^
Got it, when it was free on epic😂 since bout all the weapon pack, dog, atv and the goose and duck pack, cant get enough😂🤘
lucky...xD
Yeah😂
I should get the dog just to have it
There is a discount on all the pack now, so grab it when it's cheap😁👍
Oh dang😂
Naah, was just looking for tips on how to get that stupid wounded reindeer😂😂
Yup my bad😂😇
nah it was me...xD
Are there only male red deer in Hirschfelden?
No male and female species of any animal on every map
No
If you haven't seen any females yet, you aren't looking in the right places
okay, thanks
I'm getting pissed off about the "elusive lynx" mission on medved. I can't find a damn lynx in lesyne lands
Anydody got hotspots for em?
hang around the lakes during their drink times.
You're bound to find at least one lynx eventually
Alright
Their drink time is late so its dark. How far can I be to take a picture
@tranquil tundra
Please don't ping me specifically. Especially if it's a question that many people can answer.
Ok
and it's just like any other photo mission. So somewhere within 50 meters.
ok
Use a caller if you don't think you can stealth close to it
Alright
What’s the quickest way to get rifle score up pls
shoot every animal you see
Without ruining zones
shoot every animal you see, and don’t ruin zones
^
Full Draw is worth to max?
When I already have maxed Breath Control & Steady Hand
I'm using some shotgun perks like Body control & Recoil Management for playing rifles
Yo what addon should i get/
So I took a picture of the lynx and nothing popped up. I shot it and took a photograph of is in unalive body and I realized I didn't have the mission tracked. (He was about 74.62 yards away)
get closer
Too late lol
Need a pic while it’s alive, and you need to get closer
Around 25 meters usually does the trick
Give or take, yeah
alright
diff tritium irons for different guns
from top to bottom:
.223 docent
243 ranger
270 warden/stradivarius
30-30
338 rangemaster
no dlc: .243, 338
yeah 223 is shit tho
yeah 338 and 243 kills all animals on the vurhonga (other than the scrub hare)
which rifle has the flatter trajectory the 303 or the m1 (i would say the 30-06 but it is to heavy and has a smaller clip)
You really dont need a bigger clip than the m1
U use that to kill musk deer
k
Use 243
That weapon doesn't work in musk deer
It's too big, you need the 223
Can L4 male gemsbok make diamond? I know females can
Dababy
Yea and?
Iirc in extremely rare instances yes
Ok. I have a 4 easy male 310-346
He very well could
But there's a really good chance he'll do probably in the bottom 20 of his estimate
Although now he's in a group of 50 ish other L2-L3 gemsbok
Oh god
Toot
317 gold. Saw a dark fur type running away tho
thats a rare now, chase it
It is? I thought It was a different variant of common
Wait is this in multi
Yea
Before fur rarity-standardization or whatever occured, yeah, it was a common variant. Now though, it appears to be rare
Female gemsbok make diamond much easier than males do
358 is max iirc
Do male L4 make it?
i haven't seen one ever, but maybe?
Very small chance
Alright
But lvl 4 females make it alot
This estimate sus
I have a female L4 that made it
I just made the worst shot of my life on the dark one
Ok
if you want to reset its health
It was just a 2
o
Trolled😐
is it possible for someone to help me with some missions?
No
Missions are strictly singleplayer, but I can attempt to give advice.
quads are the best way to complete them
Yes
cuz they are wayyyyyy faster than on foot
i m at germany and i cant do the fallow deer in the field one....its so hard to approach them, they spook from km away
Wind,and sound
You can find a blind and try calling them in
call them how?
Antler Rattler
theres no lure for fallow feer
caller
the animal has to be within 200 meters
and you can't expect instant results. animals take their time to walk over to you
Diamond for kudu?
im on this mission so long....
Spreadsheet in pins in either of the general channels.
Ok
my advice: find a fallow deer feed zone, then go back to it during the specified time (about halfway through the zone time would be a good idea).
slow down as you approach the zone to not spook the deer, and once you get to around 190 meters of them (gives you ten meters of buffer room), use the rattler to call them in
151.5 off the top of my head, but it may be incorrect
ill try that, thabnjks
So I didn't just butcher a diamond
146
can lvl 3 goats go diamond
no
Not unless they're hacked.
ok thanks
4's occasionally do make it, most 5's do as well, barring feral goats which troll like there's no tomorrow
alr ty
anyone got european bison hotspots
What level do lions need to be for diamond?
kill him anyways
He scared my gemsbok away
hey where on rancho do you generally see coyotes? and when’s the best time to hunt them? any good lakes?
South side of the map for me if you are running around in the day
Only animal that I've ever seen or heard make lvl 3 diamond that maxes 5 is chamois 1 have been seen that was real
female chamois max at 4, so not sure if it really counts
Males max at 5
So what all affects if it’s a diamond? Does quick kill count towards it?
Nothing but the size of the trophy organ affects the medal
so for example, 0% quick kill on a whitetail scoring 265.5 will still make it score 265.5
but it gives less money
than 100% quick kill
so everything but the main things like ammo type and vital organs matter towards scores
4 harvest checks + big enough trophy organ = diamond
Ok
I was told when I started you needed quick kill and the harvest checks to get a diamond
Quick Kill is no longer needed as of Scoring 2.0
harvest checks, however, are very much needed.
So mainly focus on harvest checks and level and trophy organ
Yes
And trophy organ = skull
...in most cases.
though whenever the trophy organ is not the skull, it means you can hit it wherever you want.
For class 1 animals, both the Vital Organ harvest check and trophy organ intact check can never be non-checked
Ok
Is it ok to just wait and watch over a feed/drink zone for a diamond to appear or just reset time or move zones?
Are "pumping iron" and "Recycle" important perks to get them max level?
Question:
"When the hunting dog alerts you to being too close to a potential target and about to spook it does it indicate the direction of the animal while its "whining"?"
I don't play with the dog so I honestly don't know
I guess no , critical range is just how close animal to you
without dog skill it is around 50m?
The answer to that is no.
the dog just lets you know that an animal is about to spook.
If I’m on windows 10 can I play this game with my Xbox friend too?
Cross-platform is not a thing with this game, no.
Anyone got Iberian wolf spots
what call to use for red fox?
@ me
im assuming jackrabbit one works? but im not sure
Np
what is the max level
60
then how do i get skills and perks after level 60
You dont
how do people have disturbed vegetation then'
Put more points in that tree
It is
If you did would be op
Are rare fur types more rare than Diamonds?
Mostly yes
@last hemlock feedback is for suggestions need to wait for a thread has been created to reply back on something or use one of the general channels :)
Some people not going by da rules 🥭 🥭
how long does it take for animals to respawn?
6-7 in-game days is what I've heard
or one restart of the game by closing it then relaunching it
Oh okay, thankss
Guys, is Disturbed vegetation worth it? Or should I try to get pack mule instead?
Pack Mule
disturbed veg atm is useless
so pack mule
For sure pack mule
hmm anyone got this bug? where needzones turns in to blood? 😅
Not a bug.
Bears got updated with Acres' release to share need zone tracks with wolves and pumas
or at least black bears did
not sure about grizzlies and brown bears
the 30-06 i am referring to is the bolt action it is the heaviest in the 4-8 range and it has a 4 round clip
aaah okay, the lynx in medved does it too
4 rounds is still enough.
If you kill more than 4 animals in a zone that zone deletes
Actually, 4 animals killed from not in a blind will wipe zones.
so if you're shooting on the spot, you don't want to down any more than 3
Where’s the best lakes or part of the river to hunt lynx? I want to grind for them but don’t really know where to start.
everywhere
set it to drink time, grab the caller, and just search every lake and river
.243 is great against them
all i asked was which has a better bullet trajectory and i gave a reason i dislike the bolt action (because it is heavier even though it chambers less ammo meaning i can take less equipment overall)
Ah i see. I missed that part
GUYS
caps
is it possible theres 0 need zones in spreeberg for red foxes?
im here forever anmd i have found nothing
Anyone has same problem?
I want to play cotw, but the game crash in loading screen, i cant enter main menu.
are there any good guns that unlock with medved? im not very interested in hunting there, or buying it
grankins shotgun, which is a remodel of either the 12ga or 16ga i cant remember
12
or some other gauge shotgun
mmm i dont quite bother with shotguns, thank you though
@fair cranei dont understand where those need zones are....those red circles are full of bisons and deers, but no red fox need zones
have you tried 19-23
the circles represent the general area
of drink zones
the need zones change depending on time?
yes
so if i search on that time period, ill find fox zones?
chances are much higher yes
at the marked lakes there should be a few Red Fox around
Every species has different zone times
is it normal that the tracks arent highlighted at night?
If you have your flashlight off, yes.
If you have your light on at night yes. Depends on the time as well. If it’s almost light, they’ll be highlighted. Once it gets too dark and you don’t have your light on, then they aren’t highlighted.
i see, thank you 🙂
I just bought the tent DLC and I have no idea how to place the tents, anyone know how?
Do you have the tents equipped in your inventory?
I don't believe I do, could you fill me in on how that's done?
Alright, first step is to go to an outpost and go to the locker/storage place. After you are in there, go to the "Inventory" tab. scroll all the way to the bottom until you see the tents you have, and put them into your inventory once you have enough space to put those in. then you assign it to a slot, and just place it down in a flat, open area that works for it
Alrighty, thank you, I'll do that.
Where the iberian wolf be which map
Cuatro Colinas
Thanks
I tend to find them a LOT around that north eastern lake
at 6am. A pack always turn up on the left side of that lake
YMMV but wolves seem to dot the entire map
Yep, just south of the outpost/west of lake. In that orchard. I’ll kill a few, then track the runners for vengeance
btw, if you kill the alpha male of the pack, there's a good chance the rest of the pack will try to avenge him
wolves with a bow......good times
Faster than reloading
When you are doing hunt from the blind mission do the tree blinds tripods etc count or does it have to be the static ones
If a mission says blind, yeah, you have to be in a blind.
Most of them ( from memory ) specify certain areas for those missions and they have a blind there.
ok thanks
hmm. the 6.5 mm riffel (can't remember the name of it) you get for duing a mission, what mission and map do i need to do?? my friend all ready got it and has done no missons😅
hmm i can't seem to find them in my store... 😦
Do you have the Cuatro Colinas DLC?
hmm idk. can't remember the names of the DLC. but i have all weapons pack.
Cuatro Colinas Game Reserve
aah nope, but he got it. makes sence then 😄
so how do i play with my xbox friend with apex connect? (im on pc)
game does not support cross-platform (i.e. between PC and consoles)
Any tips for hunting gators?
Don't shoot them while they're in the water, they dissapear
No like I always never can get close enough to spot them before they start running
are you running up to them
No
You have to shoot them from a distance, 100-200 metres is good, shoot them while they're on the banks
Also what gun are you hunting them with?
6.5mm
A bit small
And a 30-06
Have you anything bigger?
.300 canning mag
Use that, I think it's ok, let me check
It's not the only gator I killed it said the round was too big
I have a 7mm
That is probably the best gun you have for them
No problem, need any other help and you can dm me if you want
Alr
It says I need to add the trophy... but I can't???? What am I doing wrong?
That's COTW Trophy lodges for you, sometimes they don't work
but this is part of a mission
that looks like the parque one
it is
will animals still respawn if i switch reserves then exit the game?
afaik yes
okay
oooooh 16-20.30
but old drinktimes are still stuck on the map 😦
since geese are broken whats the best way to make money atm?
shooting everything
that’s gonna be annoying
mtn lions, beceite ibex, pronghorns, just to name a few
red deer grind
Anybody have any decent opinions on which DLC’s are actually worth it for gameplay. I plan on eventually owning everything, but for the time being I’d just like to start off kinda slow with it. I’ve already got wild goose chase, vurhonga, bloodhound, silver creek, weapon pack 1, stands pack, both trophy lodges, and Medva.
smoking barrels is one.
most maps are as well
Id argue that If you would rather a map go for new Zeeland, 303 Is a tad stronger than the m1 (assuming you aren't caring about the muzzleloaders/10ga)
I'm not one for picking maps over weapon packs but te Is actually a quite enjoyable map versus yukon (usual suggestion for .300) In my opinion.
Is a gold blue Wilda beast rare? If so does that make my diamond one a super rare or ultra rare?
gold is NOT a rare.
Ok
Is it uncommon?
Ok
How bout a gold ish gemsbok
Gold gemsbok fur is rare
up to u
Is beige rare?
idk
Yea it is. I looked it up
@hidden basin Expertise needed
When viewing an animal and seeing that is in stalking mode, can it be stalking you the player?
wheres the best area for turkey on silver ridge
you generally tend to find them around forested areas near bodies of water
there's no real "best" spot for them tbh
ok thanks
Brand new to the game. Not familiar with hunting or real guns. Does someone want to help me get started. I played this on Xbox a few years ago and hunting Grizzly bear at night was intense and an adrenaline rush. I just bought the game for Steam. I have the Yukon Valley DLC. Someone said I needed the DLC and night vision DLC. I also was told I need a Fawn Distress Caller and binoculars. I am firing up the game on PC here soon. Does anyone want to help me out please? Not having much luck on Facebook. Just want to set it up so I can fire up the game and hunt bear. Would someone mind helping a newbie out who knows nothing about hunting and/or about the game. I forgot what my setup in game was on Xbox back in 2019. Thanks
Please any help would be greatly appreciated
Is it possible to get a 9- legendary show up and it not be a Diamond...?
Rawr
I also have 4 more of those
Feels bad cause I messed up a shot earlier on a Diamond elk as well. D;
It walked up on me and I thought I hit lung, but only shoulderblade.
I would cry on that one
Weird angle, it was above me on a hill.
It was about to book it too, so I had to take a shot, guess I shoulda been more patient and followed it instead.
I messed up would had been my first big game diamond a black tail 300m zero at 80m shoots a little high
It happens. 😛 If you play enough you see a lot of diamonds really.
At least they aren't carnivores.
Herbivore diamonds are far easier due to their numbers.
Better than messing up a black bear or grizzly 😄
If you shoot and don't get a good shot go back to the main menu and it'll reset for a other go just make sure it's not ded
Hmmm you mean hard close the game?
No
Or just main menu?
Ye
Then go back in and it will be in roughly the same place?
Yup
It could walk in different direction right?
And like you never shot it
But roughly same spot.
Yeah if it's at a zone it'll be at that and if it's just wondering it'll be close to where you shot it first
And other body's won't despawn
Saved me on my diamond bobcat and a lvl 8 red 3 times
Thanks alot kingfisher, appreciate it.
Can herds grow?
Question, if i have 3 massive herd of elk but they are ALL female, if i kill a bunch will that allow space for a male to spawn?
im talking like these herds are 30+ deep of does
It depends but they usually come back
If it doesn’t come back during that zone duration, you can skip time or go back to the start of it and it should be there
They can
Water Buffalo is one of the species, if not the only one that can make diamond as a level 8
I know that, but never saw one go max weight
Hm, now that I don’t know
do turkeys in silver ridge still drink?
I honestly cant say I have ever witnessed turkeys drink at all
I think they still do, I haven’t tested after the newest update though, but there hasn’t been anything about it in the patchnotes so I would assume that it is still a thing.
Does anybody have a weight guide for Mississippi acres? Just curious.
wdym weight
Something like this?
My bad, I’m new to the teamwork for the dream work.
None of the Below is better Yter
fank
I will go hunt kat
hello, does anyone have a problem with canada geese not landing, it seems like they are going to land, but they pass by
They are broken as of post-mississippi
I hope they fix it in the next patch
the game is not updated much, I guess, we wait maybe 12 months
1-2
it's more practical for them to do larger, less frequent updates because update certification on consoles usually takes a week or more to do, so there’s little reason to go through all that just to fix one thing
if we don't get an update late this month, it'll likely be early next month
then we have to keep shooting magipie in the hunter classic 😄
goose system works very well in classic
But the issue is when they do these bug fixes, they might fix 5 major bugs but add 5 new bugs with it
Im fine with these big bug fix updates but with really major bugs I feel like they should act on it quicker than other minor ones
They did do that with Mississippi’s crash-happy behavior on consoles. They got that fix out within a week
Yea I guess they do good with crash fixes. But I just wish they got some fixes out sooner for broken animals
Cape buffalo hotspots? Anybody got em?
Are gold wildebeest rare
no
Ty
i have the same problem, but they are trying to land but just flys through the earth and are gone..
anyone know if the ducks is bugged too?
Best gun for NZ? I’m thinking the 30-30
m1 imo
I don’t have the M1 DLC yet.
.243 and 7mm
and a shotgun with birdshot
though technically if you don't mind a challenge with red deer, you really just need the shotgun/birdshot and the .243
I’m gonna attempt to skip over the turkeys for the time being, try and hunt some big game. What about portable stand? From what I’m seeing there isn’t trees really big enough to climb. But to short to use tripod
Oh there's absolutely trees tall enough for the treestands on TA
I may just not be deep enough into the map yet.
and plenty of open areas for tripods as well
So I just shot a L9 cape with 7mm and it didn't die after two bad shots. Should I reset my game and get it back to full health or ruin a diamond. Was a brown fur type and would be my 6th diamond
I’ve gotten kinda good with the .22 pistol, think I’m gonna grind with it for a while.
Are there any cape callers
how likely is it that he is a diamond?
no chance, altho that's a darn big mythical
That rack does show up on 9's...but it's also known as the "troll rack"
because it never makes diamond, ever.
Is there any way to see how much time i spent in cotw ps4?
it was a Gold
Does the hunting pressure reduce if you use those stands that you pay to build?
yes
depends on the area, I have some tents right at the waters edge, and some up to 100m away, the spook range of placomg a tent is about 250m and when fast traveling anything within 150m won’t render in. So place the tent at least 150m away from the place where the animals would be.
Okay thanks
Longbow vs Recurve, major differences and reasons to use one over the other?
Not my question but, I'd love to see someone respond to this as well.
Any tips to reduce crashing? I logged on my laptop the other day (didnt play, just logged into steam) and now all the game does is crash
what are the times for harlequinn need zones
Any good lion drinking spots
Any suggestions for a nice gun that drops big game like bison,moose or bears
.300 or .338
Thanks
it most likely will re-appear, likely not in the exact same spot tho
Accord to a vid. I saw by LadyLegend, she said that if you kill a female, it will be replaced by another female. That is the best answer I can give 🙂
That is the normal situation, yes. Sometimes, in rare instances, the animal will trade locations with another. I speak from experience.
👆
If you completely destroy a herd, the game will create a new one.
The contents of the herd may or may not differ.
@silk bone
A few days ago I shot a diamond or very close to diamond bull moose, but my game crashed right afterwards - I had killed him (hunting pressure was there) but I couldnt find his body when I re-opened the game. Do bodies despawn when the game crashes?
yes
ok great thank you ^_^
So a herd will slowly repopulate or do you need to decimate it if they are 1-2 females in it?
Can you still call animals in if they're alerted or fleeing
if you're positive that a zone has gone doe-only, that's when you obliterate it.
Right on. Thanks dude.
Also sorry, this bit here, are you saying the same exact herd will spawn or are we referring to a random chance that an exactly identical herd will spawn?
It might be identical, it might not be.
No guarantee on it being the same location either.
Well the difference between same herd and exactly identical I feel is what I'm trying to ask specifically. Sorry I don't know how to ask it better. D;
I guess difference between fresh spawn that looks the same VS. a herd that IS the herd you killed.
The scores will likely be different
So always a fresh spawn then.
but there's a chance the composition of the herd will be the same
Right.
Ye
I'm pretty sure you can't if fleeing and even after awhile they will be nervous and not react to callers. But I think on alerted they might?
I've called some elk that gave warning calls
also why do mule calls sound like a rooster or something
Is there also a why to autorun instead of autowalk
you can auto run/walk/crouch/prone
How do you bind it to run?
It will keep on moving you at the speed in which you started/pressed the keybind for auto-movement
G ---> Caps lock
Ahhh thanks
NP.
anyone have map for scrub hare
This is interesting, so the respawn never actually turns a female into a male, it just in exceedingly rare cases swaps the locations of a female with a male. Making it seem like the female respawned as a male.
Yup
had it happen with a red deer on Cuatro once
Vurhonga is the map where they are located, and some good zones spots are in the image
Physical size to play in, no
is there a reason that the game would crash on console?
Anyone want to help me out please
Struggling to find people to help me out please? Have some questions and people are just making fun of me

Would prefer someone to walk me through it
I don’t have a ton of time to game, one nights a week
And learn better than watching videos
If not, that’s fine and I won’t ask again
Could always try asking in #🦌︴find-a-game
Well I already bought a game
Nevermind I won’t bother you guys
Didn’t think it would be an issue. Someone suggesting to join the discord but anyways. Happy New Year and have a good weekend
.....they are saying if you ask in that channel someone might be more willing to help because you are looking to join a game, not buy a new game.
that's the multiplayer search channel, actually
hunting zones for european hare?
hmm i didnt know euro hares drink water
dp u mind sending me the discord for all those maps
just join all of the above's server
ion got a link
.300 OR 7MM?
for?
.300 is better for larger animals, 7mm is more versatile
hmmm ok
Anyone know the fastest way to make money im trying to get the nitro and dont know the fastest way to get money
Aye can u join a mp map like I don't got rancho but could I join someone's rancho?
From what I understood, djxgam1ng was looking for people to help him out by answering some questions he has because he has asked and they made fun of him, he was not looking for people to play with.
He was looking for someone to walk him through it directly, rather than looking through videos for answers.
which is something the multiplayer search channel would be useful for.
So I just shot a legendary Iberian wolf then I shot the rest of the pack. Then I went to claim them all and none of them were the legendary one. are Iberian despawning?
I’m super annoyed that I can’t find it
is the legendary dead?
Yes I vitaled him first and seen him fall dead
do you have a dog?
see if you can use that to find him from where you got the first vital hit
I can’t even find the blood
Rip wolf
I am in the middle of the hunting pressure looking for 10 minutes going back and forth but no luck. Maybe he went into the water?
Oh well I’ll find another one
¯_(ツ)_/¯
kk
What’s max weight for wolves again
which wolf
Iberian
50KG
Search it up lol
k
I have one from way back in 2020 but since then never seen one
Will someone please help me out? Having some issues with setting up the game to hunt Grizzly. Please and Thank you
Hey guys i have a question. On german its called ``verwerten´´, but i dont know how to do it. Its for a mission. Does it mean i just have to pick the deer up or something else?
Thanks
what does uitilize or something like that mean? i have to do it with my deer but dont know what it is
If u scare a Cape buffalo from drink zone just before need time will they come back
quick question. is there anywhere in game where i can keep track of how many animals i have shot in a specific species?
no, sadly not
dang it xD
Can female ducks be diamond?
no
Where are the screenshots from Epic Games saved?
I encountered a glitch
Is night hunting doable without Night vision binos?
it is harder but doable you can improve your chances significantly by taking the scope spotter perk in the ambush tree
Does anyone know any SRP hotspots that i should check?
Ye any the only thing I’ve been able to find is lvl 5 troll pronghorn
Well I have good luck at the lake at the bottom right corner
Some servers are different though
And also at the starting outpost just go up to the plains at about 1300 and you should see elk pronghorns and bison
Ok cool
Where are the male brown bears on Medved again?
Everywhere pretty much
@sleek token top right corner mountain lion love it there
Is there any map where I could farm easy bow kills?
define "farm"
I guess an area with a fair amount of medium game
maps with a good amount of light-to-medium cover are gonna be your friend
so I guess.. layton lake?
rancho, hirschfelden, medved, to name a few
layton currently has problems, so i'd avoid it if i were you
i mean, like, dead animals straight-up disappearing kinds of problems
What are the problems with Layton at the moment out of interest?
this
Oh right
That’s why I couldn’t find my buck earlier today probably
Lovely one, was definitely a heart shot with 30-06 didn’t go far but never found it even though I found blood
cuatro colinas just take the roe deer lure and wait till you hear one hide in a bush and reply easy kill
right, thanks for the tip
