Thank you

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.

marsh atlas
marsh atlas
# barren pike 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

barren pike
#

funny how im watching Flinter right now

marsh atlas
#

also check out the DLCS like silver ridge peaks, and get smoking barrels weapon pack and yukon valley for 300 and M1 garand

#

best two firearms in the game, 303. british from te awaroa is good too

alrighty, it will say what class each animal is with a small number and icon. hello michael

Is there any use cases for startle call with the whistle function in the game now?

fair crane
fathom blade
#

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.

fathom blade
#

Also when viewing an animal and seeing that is in stalking mode, can it be stalking you the player?

steel ether
#

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?

fair crane
# fathom blade Right so if you are trying to stop an animal in its tracks while its running fro...

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.

fathom blade
#

Can startle call be used while it's fleeing close range?

#

please be more specific

drowsy obsidian
#

@candid elm if the person is above level 60 they are cheating,the maximum level you can get without cheats is 60

distant juniper
#

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

My brother just scored a mythical, single shot to the lungs, and only got silver

distant juniper
gaunt ingot
#

30-06 I think?

candid elm
distant juniper
# gaunt ingot 30-06 I think?

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

gaunt ingot
#

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

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.

vivid jungle
#

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

as for the time, I usually set it to 1230

its when they go drink

for the most part

#

thanks, @scenic oyster

#

btw, what gun do you use?

scenic oyster
#

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?

amber moss

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?

brittle panther
#

what lvl bullet do you use?

amber moss
#

idk i use the soft point .243

distant juniper
# amber moss 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

distant juniper

oh im like lvl 3

or 5

with .243 plymer

distant juniper
# amber moss 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

amber moss
#

ok thanks you lol

You can still hunt warthog, but I wouldn't recommend it with the .243 as they are quite tanky

distant juniper
#

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

river epoch
#

yea okay, gotta keep trying i guess x)

river epoch
#

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..

Ok

hidden basin
# last hemlock im on this mission so long....

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

Oh they do?

#

Well nvm then

I thought they make 5

#

That's cool

distant juniper
#

Males max at 5

plucky leaf
#

So what all affects if it’s a diamond? Does quick kill count towards it?

distant juniper
#

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

plucky leaf
#

so everything but the main things like ammo type and vital organs matter towards scores

distant juniper
plucky leaf
#

Ok

#

I was told when I started you needed quick kill and the harvest checks to get a diamond

tranquil tundra
#

Quick Kill is no longer needed as of Scoring 2.0

#

harvest checks, however, are very much needed.

plucky leaf
#

So mainly focus on harvest checks and level and trophy organ

tranquil tundra
#

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.

plucky leaf
#

Ok

#

I know the trophy organ for turkeys is like everything so

distant juniper
#

For class 1 animals, both the Vital Organ harvest check and trophy organ intact check can never be non-checked

plucky leaf
#

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?

placid valve
#

Are "pumping iron" and "Recycle" important perks to get them max level?

last hemlock
#

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

placid valve
#

without dog skill it is around 50m?

tranquil tundra
#

the dog just lets you know that an animal is about to spook.

how long does it take for animals to respawn?

6-7 in-game days is what I've heard

aaah okay, the lynx in medved does it too

barren pewter

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.

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)

@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

last hemlock
#

the need zones change depending on time?

fair crane
#

yes

last hemlock

so if i search on that time period, ill find fox zones?

fair crane
#

chances are much higher yes

is it normal that the tracks arent highlighted at night?

distant juniper
#

If you have your flashlight off, yes.

karmic helm
#

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 just bought the tent DLC and I have no idea how to place the tents, anyone know how?

distant juniper
#

Do you have the tents equipped in your inventory?

brave pulsar
#

I don't believe I do, could you fill me in on how that's done?

distant juniper
#

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

brave pulsar
#

Alrighty, thank you, I'll do that.

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

karmic helm
#

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.

violet cloud

No like I always never can get close enough to spot them before they start running

distant juniper
#

are you running up to them

violet cloud

No

proper spruce

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

That is probably the best gun you have for them

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.

hidden basin
last hemlock
#

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.

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

It happens. 😛 If you play enough you see a lot of diamonds really.

I've messed up 2 fallows as well

At least they aren't carnivores.

Herbivore diamonds are far easier due to their numbers.

Yeah that's the only 3 I've messed up so far

A tip

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

fathom blade
#

Or just main menu?

Then go back in and it will be in roughly the same place?

fierce wave
#

Yup

#

It could walk in different direction right?

fierce wave
#

And like you never shot it

fathom blade
#

But roughly same spot.

fierce wave
#

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

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

Does the hunting pressure reduce if you use those stands that you pay to build?

ok thx

#

Also how far away should I place a tent from water so animals don't spook?

fair crane
#

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.

That is the normal situation, yes. Sometimes, in rare instances, the animal will trade locations with another. I speak from experience.

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.

tranquil tundra

The scores will likely be different

So always a fresh spawn then.
