to top that, he stole @iron valve's kill, 90% sure
considering i consider vivid a friend, im pretty fuckin mad lol
100% sure. What a fuckin dumbass, man. Mooching off someone else’s grind and claiming it as your own
Stolen from a Smaller YTer by the name of Vivid Vizionary
stolen from a wonderful person by the name of vivid vizionary
Resident friendly dumbass vivid vizionary
||dang bro, that’s a really big whitetail!||
resident truth speaker vivid vizionary
diamond 30 of the grind another garunteed estimate 2
lit
ye
After 3500 whitetail, 21 diamonds, 9 male rares, 3 rare females, I finally did it on Xbox!!!!
Good shit dude, good fucking shit. You earned that thing
me almost 4.8k kills later with nothing to show for it on rancho
Thank you 🤙 a video game has never mad me cry from joy. Today was that day
I had the eye sweats of joy when I got my piebald diamond lynx at close to 2000 total lynx kills
You should get a minigun at this point just for mowing down whitetails
yea maybe then i could actually get lucky idec about these diamond lv2s
cant get redemption on my bugged one
Keep at it, you will. My bugged one was 1200 kills in. They are a heartbreaker
yea mine was around 2k kills in
GO grind on rancho couldnt start any better
maybe if they listened to us in the first place when there was people posting them morphing racks every other day lol
Botched my first diamond 
first diamond wt or first diamond in general?
accuracy seems a bit iffy since the update, I keep hitting spine shots much more than before..a few weapons seem to have been nerfed too. The rhino seems weak now.
Exactly
Huge congratulations!!!
When map comes out on console i might actually grind for one
Assuming i dont get an initial spawn
Would be something actually nice to grind other than gemsbok whenever the fuck i get on vurhonga
Yeah this is pretty much what I’ve been saying too. The only reason I knew how to deal with my WT was because of my 1st grind as well. But it such a shame some people have to be so toxic towards those who’ve put in the work and gotten rewarded. Never understood being negative towards others like that
Yeah people were just being a bit toxic but it’s whatever. I never understand being like that towards someone who got something cool honestly
and even if 8k of that 16k people search their whole map, thats still 1.6 mil whitetail spawns being looked at on ONLY rancho. doesnt even include if they hunt layton too
Exactly
It’s a lotta deer
Plus they’re so much easier to find
Cuz limited drinking areas
I hope i get decent spawns when Rancho releases on console
and since they spawn within 2-4k kills thats almost 600 great one spawns on initial release
Exactly
Rare #11 of the grind, 3,600 kills in
Thank you!!
I wake up just to find out some tried to steal my great one nice...😂
Man that sucks- is it all sorted out now at least?
@acoustic cedar I didn’t get to see your great one of you got it I saw you were tracking it
Yeah I got him! Took an hour to bring him down lol he did not want to cooperate 😄
dude i kinda want a sub 90 male whitetail more than a great one
idc if its not possible
if you can respawn up i can respawn for lower scores
@acoustic cedar congrats 🎉 I am glad the grind paid off
Thank you so much! 😄
I am still on my grind but it’s slow not seeing bucks tbh
congrats @median rune
Well it would appear people sorted it out for me
That’s good then
I'm so ready for mexico to come to consoles my layton just isnt working the way it used to
I noticed playing layton today that i wasnt getting any respawns, i pretty much deimated my whole whitetail population.. A restart worked and they all respawned!.. This is something i have only noticed since the update but on rancho im getting respawns normally. sometimes they are respawning while i am watching zones. Yesterday i took all 3 bucks from one zone. From the same tripod i can see 4 zones, after taking bucks from the other zone i looked back at the first one and it had respawns!
Yep we got some news! 😹
I guess you've all seen the news.. If they patch the PC version at the same time as the console the great one could get a little more difficult...
Ya. Now I need to grind for it again.
Console been bumped back further 😫
it is still difficult for me only without the diamonds and rares that I was getting on Layton 😄
At least that means you folks might get to avoid the issues the PC crowd has to deal with
We should
Hopefully but not probably based on the wording
is there anyone here that took more than 1k kills on rancho to get their great one? 😄
Well theres blitz but he doesnt have one yet
i'm also over and the spawns are just.. 😦
anybody on console and still grinding layton like me?
I am
But I can only do about 2 runs before some of my zones go doe only and i have to go clear pressure and close app for bucks to show back up
hell ya man i started a week ago, 1k kills in i’ve spawned great ones the big rack and a bugged one level 4.
2*
@iron valve only killing 2 males from each herd from tripod and still it’s doing that?
Yep I've killed around 2700 total from both of my grinds
I just woke up with bad news🥲🥲🥲😭
Oh noes
What happened?
damn
probably the delay is what he's talking about
while it isnt great for console players atleast you will know that majority of issues will be sorted by the time you get on
Eh the delay isnt bad news it's just disappointing news
hope all is fixed by the time we get it.
i'm gonna be pretty mad if they don't fix anything
I'm on pc but my steam still broken so I haven't been able to play the new map yet
Hows ur steam broken?
They somehow thought some of my purchases were fraud and refunded all my account purchases.
Oh yikes
As long as ur save file is intact I'm pretty sure you'll be fine
Alr
It sucks but it is what it is
i'm thinking very late july or early august
Let's hope by time it comes out grim will have 9 gos😂
Honestly.🤣
😂
They should be happy PC got to test a good amount of bugs that didn't happen in beta so they got time to fix them. It doesn't matter what they do, console always cries about it
Your not on console so u can't say anything. mexico is super big free compared to what we have
I've played console for years and it's always been that way. And it's not bug free that's the whole reason they pushing it back lol
I would like to have at least the patches for the current bugs console has. But that’s my opinion.
Like the issues with fast traveling
But compared to what console players have it is way better
i would have liked to been one of those bug testers haha
Well thing is if you are then anyone on console is like "YouR lUcKy" well save up and buy a PC
Im gonna save up for a car not a PC.
Rancho can't even withstand multiplayer it just crashes and on solo there's a couple outposts u can't fast travel to, the lodge is screwed rn til new update too
ya i'm not one of the complainers i just try to stay positive
I'm also afraid that good rares I get may turn into a common or break somehow
Like albino coyote I got
Yeah that's a good thing
at least it’s easier to shoot WT here than layton
Yea
Absolutely is
i would totally buy a pc but gaming isn't my biggest interest
There are a couple lakes where it's hard tho but for the most part it's easier
Aka the way it should be
Not a full out guessing game like layton and then zones move after one run
why do whitetail jackrabbits spawn in my whitetail deer zones? its really annoying when grinding.
Thank you 🤙
So its confirmed then.. There is no method... More you kill the more chance you have... No variables in how you grind and as long as you are getting your respawns you are doing the right thing
Correct
As i thought and as it should be tbh
Yep. Was fun to watch people make big deals over useless "methods" tho
It was something for them to get some excitement and hope... People will always flock to an idea that sounds good... Thats how religion works
i do have a routine and sort of method i dont do the 2 bucks no more
i dont use tripods
i clear hunting pressure with other species
so get full respawn
the normal community method of layton isnt needed on rancho
does it feel repetitive after a while?
i guess that depends on the individual
some people have lower tollerences than others
beat the one i just got by 0.1
i had a bigger one as well
my record is 172.somthing
almost 900 in now and only 1 rare
Lol
I got 2500 rounds for the 303 now
I was using the 303 but on a few occasions it took too long to chamber the round so i changed to the m1
prefer the 303 ballistics though
I just uploaded a video of a max weight from layton to youtube ... Went over to rancho just now and had a max weight on there too! mental😂 😂
Was killing so fast i didnt realise it even had potential 😂 😂
100kg tr271.81 and 100kg tr273.21..cracking brace!
I might stream for 6 hours and when I'm done edit down to only diamonds and rares for a video
Or just leave them in their zones and go back with OBS running.. Thats what I do lol
I don't have a PC 😭😂
I'm trying to get a elgato
But I gotta get paid from my job
How many great ones do you have? Try doing it on console with the bugs, then come talk. If you can’t, keep the negativity to yourself. Sour much? I was only trying to help the community and the discouraged players. If I took a few views from you, I can send you over a hurt feelings report.
- I never hunted for one because they were broken and not worth wasting hours and hours for a chance at one rack spawning. I don't need to have killed one to know how the game works and how they spawn 🙂
Smol be lurking
So if you are so knowledgeable about how they were and are working, then why don’t you let everyone know? A lot of players were and are struggling to figure it out. That’s the difference between us, I don’t mind sharing and helping the community. It’s also easy for the naysayers to say they already new all this, after I put it out. It was never about getting my name out, never wanted any spot light. It’s always been in my nature to serve others. Pro tip: “A diamond a day will bring the great one your way” -Grim
The best way to get a great one is to have no life and constantly shoot whitetail
There
I love helping people it's the reason I make so many guides and videos to help people better understand how it works. Sorry that I didn't try and help people grinding for them when they were extremely broken and not worthwhile 👍
You don’t know anything about me or my life. So don’t come at me like you do. I served my country, and I will live my life how I want. Just because you want to get your nose brown for some of these hateful content creators, well that’s your cup of tea. Carry on and mind your own please.
I'll have you know, my nose is only white at any given point of the day. You don't know anything about my nose
That I can stand behind and admire, so why throw shade at my commitment and sacrifice of time to help the community in figuring out what was wrong with the whitetail spawning
He wasn't pointing fingers. That was the only true method before they fixed them. All it takes is spending more time than anyone else to get them
I’m pretty sure one could word it in a more positive light. Doesn’t take much effort if you ask me.
I don't have any problem with you or what you do my guy. The problem I have is having to answer dozens of questions daily about the misinformation that has been spread by it
Geez guys chill lol
Everything I said was a theory in the works, I stated repeatedly to take what I say with a grain of salt. That what I was sharing works for me and I couldn’t guarantee it would work for everyone. I could only speak for Xbox and the current state of the game. Not past updates, and not future updates. I made that a speaking point the entire time. If you are tired of the questions, send them my way. I will make time to help them and share with them in more detail.
there is nothing wrong with giving tips each on how you guys grind and what works for you no need to argue about it in the end its all RNG and its about having fun
It’s just a game, it’s not that serious. ☹️
Oh my

Yall really going at it
🙈
I’m actually thinking about moving on. I don’t think I’ve ever been apart of a more toxic community. Everyone is always at the others throat when they don’t agree with something. The drama and shade that is thrown around is quite overwhelming.
i think what causes discussion is grims method is just the community method used since the great ones come out. dont get angry stressed or argue about it . its a game have fun
all the content creators looking at chat 👀
Well I mean it does need to be discused
I wish it was that easy
I stare at this chat for 12 hours a day waiting for the first rare great one to get killed so I dont have to grind 😭
I’d love just a rare diamond whitetail. 123 diamonds during this grind and not a rare diamond to show
Would be cool to see if a beeno or mela one shows up legit
for real
was the piebald troll the closest you got
id be scared to shoot it and share it if i shot it lol
U may say take it with a grain of salt but u claiming a normal method of grinding as ur own is just dumb the amount of people I see in my chat saying that I'm doing ur method is just annoying
I’ve never even had a level 3 troll rare either. That’s another 30+
Lol
no tripods
Killing whitetail is fun
just slaughter
My pb amount of wt killed at once
tbh the fact that I shot 7 diamonds and 2 were rare really puts that luck into perspective 
Dude, it was about helping people get whitetail on their map and to their zones. If it was so normal, then why wasn’t it normal???!!!???
What😂
i had 3 in a row the other day then got two diamond lv2s lmao
Bruhhhhhhhh
Rip
imagine my tears
That hurts to see
dies
great ones are normally killed in what 20-30 diamonds? while a rare spawn is like 1 in 1k kills, so around 1 in 1k diamonds would be a rare diamond and you have two? thats utterly rare
so no arguing just laugh have fun 😁
^^
I have no idea, my diamond rate was very low compared to most
i had that off the diamond piebald
My first grind had barely any rares and diamonds but my second has had about 20 diamonds
Air rifle plus tripod equals win
yeah well i was comparing it to what ive mainly been seeing in the community i think they normally get one in about 20 diamonds something like that
so far ive had 30 of them with only one bugged one
Simple minded
We throwing insults now?
Rip. In a action pose too
Ladies calm down you can fight later
U really think so😃
@velvet bough after 40 Diamonds 2 bugged Ones 🙄
think i may actually swap to layton soon wanna see how it is now
Good question
Layton is torture
Ima rotate between the two when console finally gets the map so I wont get burned out
Just mental abuse
yeah I just look at kills not diamonds. I dont think theres any proof they spawn off diamonds, so I just figure each buck is a chance. I woulda had 13-16 diamonds roughly at the rate most seem to get them. Around 1/100 1/150 it seems
i think a thing is they spawn with 3s
oh yeah absolutely, crows didnt spawn off a diamond, mels gaming both of hers didnt spawn off a diamond
Tbh all it takes is one kill to spawn one
im getting a diamond or troll roughly aound 100 kills or so
if anyone else wants to try this keep 3s or diamond dont shoot em see what spawns in with em
Ur harvest numbers mean nothing just think of it as u buying one lottery ticket and winning the jackpot while someone else buys 2000 tickets before winning
i mean i do think they are more likely to spawn off a diamond, just how a max weight deer is more likely to spawn as a diamond than a small buck
i just shoot all bucks to maximize chances and still focus on shooting the biggest bucks first
yeah first grind on rancho i shot everything i seen
didnt take any note to zones melted all whitetail
im shooting over 4 lakes
i have a very big 3 which will be a diamond and leaving him alone
shoot the rest see if a great one spawns within that group or others
Is one of those lakes that really big convoluted lake near the bottom left of the map?
Sorry for the ping in advance
That’s sounds like an interesting strategy @pliant oak would love to see what happens
f
my theory is that the GO spawns in place of a diamond spawn, which would also potentially explain the surge of initial spawn GO's with the release of rancho
NGL, I'm grinding whitetail after having my blacktail grind cut short due to bugs, and... well, rancho is definetly up there with the troublesome lake maps
want to see a big boi?
Your job is basically to grind this game though, so chop chop🤣
I guess i'll try.. 🤷
Someones been bird hunting
one sec let me paint shot it lol
thats possible it just could be replacing it with an upgraded one
@pliant oak why always the 7mm? Why not the m1 for follow ups
its his favorite gun
oh yeah here's a big boi
ok
Holy
the 4 lakes i smash
I know I love it but what about follow ups
How many bucks do u try to kill in a herd then?
one of my zones i always shoot 5 bucks from it i just prefer m1 but i do like the 7mm
at least 7
Need a bolt action 7mm
7mm is great but m1 has follow ups
depends how good you are with it
And what the heck was happening grim v smol boi
shot selection and accuracy is key
@hybrid wyvern u probably have the best aim
doesnt matter what gun fires quicker if you dont nail all your shots
What about time efficiency?
i pick what deer i will shoot before shooting then bang bang bang
But couldn't you be faster without it?
well time efficiency obviously favours 7mm
🧐
if accuarate but at a cost of money
To put it in a nutshell he got tired of grims bs
Of GRIMs bs?
Yes that's what I wrote
lets try and help each other not dwell on negative shit
I want to kill them but I'm on xbox
Or night forgot ur European
Anyway Ron isn't it like 12?
not bad quite a lot killed i havent killed no diamonds or rares today
got a big diamond though i wave to saving him
@hybrid wyvern what time is it rn
in uk only 12 midnight
Better get to bed
so is it true that GO's spawn off of diamonds?
Possibly
How do you find a fabled one/great one?
Long story short… luck
he never said everything he does is 100% correct. every time ive seen him give tips he does say its in his own theory and to do what helps you most, and to take it with a grain of salt (literally have seen him say that so many times)
more likely they spawn off diamonds butcan spawn off a normal buck
Nah not true at all. Plenty of people have gotten there’s off of non-diamond whitetail
is there any way to make the spawning chance higher?
or is it just
shoot
claim
repeat
Yes
Fax
From what ive learned
alright
time to do a new round of respawns
Crow typin up a essay
Agreed Ron, the toxicity is way too high especially for something that doesn't even matter. Like its just a gameplay style if you don't like it then play your way instead. Its not going to affect you if other people want to hunt a certain way or if they disagree with your way of hunting. At the end of the day nobody knows for sure what is the best way and all we can go off of is what has worked best for each of us individually. The toxicity i see towards people that have differing opinions makes me sick tbh.
Bottom line is hunt the way you think works best for you and let others hunt the way they want. Its a game ffs
Yeah i hosting a multi and this guy started slurring at me because i was using a tripod. I was so confused
have fun ! gg
People need to just chill out
oof another reason for me to never touch MP then
i will stay to friend MP
Haven’t been on it since
sad
did u kick him
Yep
He proceeded to Xbox live message me after and that got rough. Buddy wasn’t having a good day
definitely never touching MP then
I also had a guaranteed diamond Blacktail and some dude shot him in the foot and then proceeded to say that MY aim sucks
Mp sucks
piece of crap
The community is full of butts but some butterflies
hunt something else in the meantime
then be bored 🤷♀️
by a massive rack
I predict you will stumble across a massive bighorn
Had something similar happen in mp today, just proves how stupid mp can be sometimes. Went to a lake, being followed by some level 60 100 meters behind me. First thing I spot is a 9 puma, I've been chasing 1 forever, so I got excited. It was fleeing, so I was gonna wait for it to stop, but then this other kid blasts it and didn't hit vitals and messed it up. In anger, I claimed it and took it from him, because I felt it was rightfully mine and then it ended scoring 40 on the dot. Just proves how stupid multiplayer can be, people just steal ur kills sometimes and do other stupid things
I just want to curbstomp anyone who does that. How can they then just say lol when that happens. I get so mad
But the thing is I know the host and he left before it got shot, so it's still on his map, I could play with him again and shoot it, but I don't know if that's right or not, might just have to let it go
yeah
i almost had an albino mtn lion stolen from my MP
but luckily my game crashed
and everyone got disconnected
Lucky
Multiplayer been a good day diamond blacktail diamond elk piebald whitetail doe almost had a level 3 mallard it's been a good day
Close to 5k kills on the grind now
jesus christ man i thought i was fucking the wt up you’re going super crazy on them
lmao yea i havent stopped since release
im 74 kills away
How long did it take? @lethal mortar
idk where mine is at
Took about 5 days of grinding around 1000 kills
I wasn’t going to hard into the grinding either
Sounds like you got lucky lol
on the new map or in total?
jeez
I used grims method
I tried to but my recording messed up
highlight of my continued rancho grind last night 😅
I tried that on layton, i think i had 9 diamonds and 2 trolls.. 11 3's in total... It was not long after i gave up and killed them that i had my first one spawn in.. Coincidence? Probably... On to something?.. Maybe 🤣🤣👍
In my lodge i have 6 diamonds all killed on the same day and 3 the day before... This is why i havent done a lodge tour on youtube.. I'm concerned people will point the finger... 6 in a day and 9 in 2 days does look very suss without the background story
the 3m are looking more insane xD
fml my wife has a second great one inside 100 kills, I think i'm gonna give up 😄 she has all the luck in the family 😛
and she doesn't even go for them 😦
Found 3 WT zones that actually have more than 2 bucks per zone, so now I have something to grind from here and there. My short term goal is diamond WT, mid term is a full diamond WT multimount or a rare diamond WT, long term is obviously a GO.
I know I'll need to find more zones but pretty happy to find these 3.
if its layton experiment with times and search for more zones
some really tiny ponds literally no water in can have quite big groups sometimes
some dont show on map either
It's ranchero
the main lakes for whitetail have 50 or more whitetail deer on
zones are not to important as if you kill them they often respawn close by anyway on those main lakes
layton is obviously different
its why i use the normal 2 buck community strategy on layton and just kill everything no zones on rancho
Yeah Rancho is a different animal!
The lingo confuses you? What it means is that Rancho is a far different way of grinding
oh haha
well in a hunting game calling something a different animal maybe isnt the best idiom to use lol
I just kinda follow the whole kill only two bucks per zone
Yea that's what I've been doing since February just to minimalize the chances of my zones going doe only
why ?
fur types
just jumped back on layton to see how it is bagged a nice diamond but many areas just seem devoid of whitetail maybe its just cause i been on rancho for 2 weeks solid but seems odd
what about em
the bug about lodge fur types being broken
ahhh they should hopefully be fixed restrospectively i think the word is 😁
ive bagged a few different ones im not particularly worried
More recent word from stream is that it might not be
also is the .303 or .30-06 better for WT (ammo not gun)
😁 ron's most used emoji
Me in bed waiting on Ron's video 😂
i am starting to lose hope for my GO
I mean, devs did say that some people might never find one
when they were first released
what.
which honestly makes locking an achievement behind getting one kind of stupid
don't forget 🍻 haha
Wait so the console delay may actually be a good thing since we may not have to deal with our trophies being messed with 😁
yeah that is a plus
And tbf the whole thing with people having fabled piebalds now dont really matter since they have to have the harvest screen shot to prove its legit
maybe theres a connection between the bug being none reversible and the sudden availability of rares... And big rares!... I'd never seen a mela whitetail on my PC account, vaguely remember having one on xbox on the old scoring system but not even seen one for years then had 2 in the first two days on Rancho..
its just a table of digits probably representing colour and code messed up between the new variants
should hopefully be not too hard to fix
well thats the hope fingers crossed
How's that video going Ron👀
Ight bet I'm on yt waiting for it 😂👀
out now
i- I sense a video
Good video if only that buck was diamond big rip
.303 is slightly better, but the difference is him being dead not even half a second later
congrats also what the fuck?
2 RUNS??
ye I hunt bobcats...not that lucky with them though 3 trolls 😄 whitetails I did twice just for fun and got a surprise
btw I had to go out and shut down my PC after the first time I spotted him. He was still fabled after that, so that's fixed
i really wish i got that luck
BAWBKAT
hopefully this lvl 3 respawns as GO

only 1 lvl3 on my map so far and it was a troll. Seems to me you either have diamonds or GO, not both 😄
ye I hope I don't get a third one before him or my family's ruined 😅
luck is a scam
i get this 😄
uu I have another one
Recurve it
no
Why not
dont have the balls to do it
Oh
and i never used the recurve
Anyways I'm noscoping my next one
what the fu-
The GOs arnt fun if u dont out it all on the line imo
no scope at 0.8888888888888888 meters
Eh ima go 20m like I did with my longbow so I can touch him😂
I tried it on a 5 muley yesterday and hit it in the leg so I still need to practice with the 357 but we will get there
oh my god
RIP mule
Yep woulda been a diamond at 317
thats messed up
You shot a mule deer with the 357?...that thing struggles to put yotes to bed
It sucks I hit him twice both flesh then finished him off with the 30-06 cuz I didnt want to track
You need the 44 or 454 for anything bigger than a hedgehog
Wait what
I use the Rhino for everything.. Its always with me
Did i stumble into a murder plan?
oh my god
game crashed
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 👍
Oh good
and no times for the past 7 days
Unlucky then
try updating your video card drivers if you haven't already, I was crashing every 15-20 mins on all reserves release day, haven't crashed once since I updated them and restarted my pc
already did
Unfortunate, do you have any of your crash logs still?
how do i find them
when your game crashes and you get the screen that asks if you want to send them or not you can click the "what does this report contain?" link and itll show you the files, I think if you dont save them they delete when you start the game
then i have none
@spiral spear 10 minutes into playing the game or the session?
also holy hell thats a big WT
Definitely session since he had 60k
How much money do you guys think i need to start a GO grind on rancho once console is out?
I currently have 100k but idk if that is enough
300k imo
Oh god ok
100k would work to buy you a couple of tents and since you don't have to move around as much on rancho you could do with that and then with all of he wt you kill you can easily earn money for more tents and tripods
Ok gotcha
I’d say 300k is fairly accurate, it’ll take you about 700 kills before you make it back, whitetail aren’t great for cash, but mass murder will solve that
can you send all the GO racks here
256k is what you need to max out the tents on a map. you'd obviously need more cash as well for tripods and whatnot
so i'd say at least 250-300k initial investment, then buy more stuff as you rack up more whitetail kills
Wonder if flinter has a video coming out today does he sees the chat?
Oof
@pure kayak congrats on the piebald diamond
thanks
Ive got abbout 40 piebald diamonds right now. 😂 😂.. Nah seriously, well done 👍
da fu-
glitch?
Yeah update bug
Lol
173 kills in and finally the first diamond of the grind. Haven't shot it yet, but I know he's gonna be a diamond, he's huge. I can't post pics now cuz my internet cut out but I will later
estimate?
247-288 I believe but I'll respot him in a sec
Holy
scored 270.7
I guess I'll just post a phone pic cuz it won't upload, gimme a few minutes
i wonder if a 300 wt has been killed
No 290s have been killed before they changed the diamond requirement. Here's a big boi
whoo
biiig boi indeed
Only took 173 kills, when compared to others it seems like it took a while
They used to get up to 310
Bit it's all right so you never know
what
Yeah that's what I thought they got really big before they altered the diamond requirement.
even
I've seen one over 300 once
Alright so second run of the day let's hope the diamond respawned as a go
I've seen many over 300 posted around a year ago
pic?
Nah I'm not going hunting through old messages. You can search on Google or something
Lol
what was the estimate
i think its just a very unlucky wt
lvl 4 = bugged diamond
lvl 5 = bugged great one
Well people have gotten level threes that are 70-85 that are bugged go
I don't think it's a bugged go tho it's just the tiniest level 3 ever
ye
idk why but Ron’s spawn lake is broken good
1 super rare piebald
1 super rare troll mela
1 troll lvl 3
and a bunch more
@short lava not bugged, just 2.0 scoring for ya
Yea that's what I concluded
Pretty good day of grinding, spent lots of time looking for new zones and adjusting my current setups. Currently have 202 total kills, 32 of which are from today. Got a mega troll and a mega diamond. Hope to do the same tomorrow!
2.0 allows all these trolls and shit and people cry about a species being broken when it's 2.0 that needs to be refined.
but good shit, I need to find more WT spots
Yeah, it's 2.0 itself that's kinda messed up. I also had a 100 kg max weight that didn't even make diamond. But that's just 2.0 for ya!
thats just a tiny lv3.
a bugged one can be a lv3,4,or 5 tho
if u get a level 3 that had a estimate of like 120-180 something like that it was a great one
usually its a 4 or 5 tho
Well, I’ve seen multiple ppl post a pic of they’re great one (alive) and cutoff they’re game, come back and there’s a lvl 4 so that’s not true.
yep
why isnt the piebald wt diamond in #509301826869264385
wheres the pic of it at i cant see it
nebella may not have had the time to get to it
Cotw trophy channel
yea id say she just hasnt got to it yet.
then why did she react to the message
O. no idea
i messed it up my 3rd
I saw it, just haven't added it. Other channels to check first
ye i was gonna tag you just as a friendly reminder tomorrow if it still wasnt posted lol. but i figured u just had to do something
i hope you have that luck to spawn them
like i just want one
and ive been grinding like 12 hours a day since rancho released
Also that go that got messed up... thats my fav rack
im so stupid tho
i know i wouldnt mess it up either but i cant even get one to spawn
i dont know 🥲 what happen to me
how many kills do u got on rancho now
only 752 untill my second on rancho
so lucky
no idea
im around 1200 kills in on rancho
thats my first on aound 1200 to
look at your map if the feeding zone time is change
you have the GO
huh? i use drink zones
What
i have every single drink zone set up
the first drink zone i have 8 am
Wdym by that
also ive been having a bad dry spell no diamonds in the past 300 kills
and now i have on 8.30
yeah so start 8:30 to make sure u see all zones not just early zone
and end at 11 for same reason
yeah but end at 11 so that way when ur checking ur zones u dont miss any wt
when i say end i mean like end your run, change time lol
i know that but the drinking time on my map its change
wdym
its the same on all maps
half of need zones will end at 11:30 half end at 11
ohh thanks i dont know if a feeding zone on 8.30 is a normal because on my map almost all drinking time start on 8 am
likely the deer that use that zone start drinking at 8:30
yea also i wait 15-30 in game minutes to get them to need zone
ouch... really sorry to see that, hope another spawns for u again
where is mineeee lol
Grabbed him tonight! I was literally ending the stream. Holy shit!!!
so... After getting 2 great ones and 2 troll bobcats I decided my map was telling me I had to stop hunting bobcats and I spent an evening on whitetail... This morning I started by killing 2-3 outside of my hunting lakes and then started the first run on the eastern Hacienda lake, massacred every male without harvesting as always and then decided I needed a second tent to the west of the lake since I have three zones there I don't even check. Teleported to the other side of the map to get a tent, came back and there it was again, standing on the other side of the lake next to his friends' bodies....
Got them all three on video and even saved the part where no living whitetail was left on that side of the lake before I teleported back 🙂
#3 down and now I can't decide which multimount to use them for lol i like my problems
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG MALE
Congrats
all the same rack btw, has anyone gotten different racks on the same map?
I wouldn't believe her If I wasn't sitting next to her.. 😄 all 3 are inside 200-300 kills 🤯
ye I'm soon gonna have more GOs than diamonds if this goes for a couple more days... I was really unlucky with the diamonds on Layton
Yet I've shot 1,200 on the new map without one lol. No idea how lucky these people are
initial spawns
I've actually reset pops a few times from where my wt broke and it hasn't happened to me yet
I just got terrible luck with things I really try to grind
@velvet bough I have also had 0 diamonds on the new map. Only GOs. Husband's got diamonds and no GOs. I don't know if it's a thing, but I've heard similar takes from others. People are trying to find patterns and noone knows for sure...
My theory is that the great one spawns in place of a diamond spawn
@rigid forge I have 3 GOs and no diamonds on that map. I've had a total of one lvl3 whose estimate's high limit was lower than diamond. Your theory might apply to Layton, but definitely not to Rancho (for me)
Everyone’s RNGesus is different
funny that her rng jesus wasn't so kind to her during the years we played this game, I guess now it is compensating 😄
Lul
thats insane luck, congrats. GO huddle!
thanks 🙂 I'll wait for the lodge 'fix' before I put anything in it, since fixes sometimes make things disappear 😄
That has to be something bugged. At only 88 kg something is wrong
bruh thats unfair lol
congrats tho
time to grind my own
:bigrack_GO:
yea lol
This is a tiny lvl 3
despawned GO?
…I have succumbed once more to the call of the whitetail
1st run, big lvl 3
Let’s go
266 diamond boi
he is kinda small for his rack tho
PC players
So ew has made the go easy now with the new map. What will yall hunt next??
I'm seeing players getting 2 to 4 go now.
Not much to it anymore.
Just wait for the next GO to be brought in
out of the blue my map started spitting diamonds now, after hundreds of kills without one... This guy was very pretty though, I love how the rack goes up
Ew is it own worse enemy. They give in on everyone crying.
A ron u got a video today?
@wooden hornet
That your fourth??
3rd
Never seen this rack before- cool!
will be probably tomorrow also one for the weekend
Ok
@regal cosmos as requested 🙂
When are we going to see a 2nd great one for a different species?
No clue im hoping for a red
Will it be this year, next year, in 2 years or never?
Nah
Red deer are already oversized
Their diamonds are way bigger than any record
No clue on date not even talked about
Roe deer might make a nice GO but i think not enough people hunt them.
But it will have to be one of the base game species
I am putting my money on moose
Red or idk gemsbok would be coll
think red deer or mule deer would make most sense
Moose is a base game species with tru racs and is present on alot of maps, therefore people who havent already bought said maps will be more enclined to buy them. Roe is cool but not enough people hunt them, moose would make more sense for them. They cant do mule deer since it is not a base species and afaik they said GOs will only be for base game species for now and while i can see them doing red deer because they love them so much, i think a great part of the community wouldnt like it since as i said earlier the big rack diamonds are already totally over the top, plus red deer already got super diverse antlers too.
Why red deer though? Like some one already said they’re super oversized already.
Kinda a shame cause the Red Stag is pretty ugly lol
EW just has an affinity with them lol
A GO red deer would basically have a tree trunk on its head.
they asked our thoughts on the next great one in the last quiz so hopefully soon
For the record my answer was alllll the deer
i asked for a battle worn bear
Yes, not basically, literally.
It would be awful, horrendous, horrible even.
A gray wolf would also be cool
I asked for sikas. I love sikas.
Virtually no chance of us getting any non base GOs in the near future
The Sika is likely the best animal in-game lol
i saw dead sika in washington
it was sad
And even if we get them in the future then added with new maps id assume
Although ofc i could be wrong
why can't we get a new base reserve
ugh
even though Rancho would be perfect for that lmao
How do yall cross out the text?
~~ before and after text
Not necessarily, it could be a hind
It doesnt have to be big, just unique
^^
honestly, the fact that GO's have their own fur type?
there are possibilities with that
True, but it would have to be pretty unique to be interesting.... just a change in fur type won’t be enough for someone to want to grind something like that.
What it looks like is unimportant, the great one whitetails look ridiculous.. I still grind though 😂 😂
I mean I’d be less inclined to want to get just a unique female deer
I’d still do it cuz…I’d have to
But
I actively want big antlers
Yeah i hear that, but it doesnt have to be about size is my point
I guess but like I said it’d have to be pretty unique if it’s not huge or something like what we have rn
The red deer diamond rack should have been a great one... The lvl7 is big enough for diamond
In what way? You can find ones that look just like that irl.
Personally I don’t think a rack like the ones on level 7 red deer is worth grinding for.
Even if it was a GO.
However if they modified it to be like a non typ with drop tines and other stuff then probably yeah
We have Reds on our property.. They dont go anywhere near what they do in the game.. They go big in new zealand but the lvl 5 rack is more realistic for an adult stag
I can post a few pics if you want to see some.
Yeah ive probably seen them i know how big they can go..
Idk, it's probably just me but I feel like if it's not insanely huge or something like that, then it's not really worthy of a "great one" title
Its the rarity though that makes something great... Rarity is something our existing great one needs by the looks
Still has to have good looks, or else people would not be interested.
If we had another non typical, I'd want it to be a mule deer or RME for an antlered species. Bighorn sheep for a horned species. A fabled predator would have to show some sort of unique to signify it being a 'GO' like a scar, larger teeth, or just larger mass.
GOs will only be base species
If that was the case, they wouldn't have had non-base animals in the survey.
oh
yeah
I'd be okay with a blacktail GO.
I like red deer but diamond racks are already pretty exotic for them.
I think now that whitetail are on two maps. They will go with a species that is on 2...or 3
Mule deer is my guess
long shot but I'm hoping for sikas
If we are taking long shots i wanna see or at least hear.. Sasquatch 👀
The odd wood knock or whooping sound wouldnt do any harm.. Adds a bit of something to the game...
Wide elk great one with antlers 1km wide
All 3 are the big boy GO too, looking sharp! I'm grinding for my second one, aiming for a huddle too! 🙂
still, wondering where mine is
keep at it hopefully you get one
same
its dehibilitating
yet i heard they wanna make them more rare
im over 5.1k kills without one
and got screwed out of a bugged one cuz they refused to listen to content creators for 5 months straight so did many other people
now they are working right and they are thinking they spawning too much
oh for fucks sake
at least im pretty sure they are changing spawn rate
last week stream they said they were monitoring how many were being harvested but they werent sure if they were going to change it yet iirc
well they shouldl prob ask the community first if its something thats gonna make everyone infuriated then i wouldnt do it
they already had them rare enough when they were bugged for 7 months
yea I agree, personally I just think were seeing so many due to the fact new reserves always result in hordes of players flocking to them and as a result more whitetail spawns this time around, the bug fix contributes aswell obviously. The fact alot of you guys are thousands of kills deep into the grind makes me think they rate is more than ok where its at
when do you think mine will show up
what was your reaction when you saw him?
was is the middle lake ?
looks like it
yes
i screamed holy fuck than sat there for a few mins just looking at it lmao
do you know if you shot anything at that lake prior
i just shot a troll 3 as well
too bad mine wont spawn from it tho lol
yea
New personal best of of 106 kills today. Makes 308 kills total. Today I also got a level 2 diamond, that's a plus. Also got three new zones, one on the east coast, one on south coast, and one somewhere else. Pretty good day!
On layton?
Yes
nice
*cries in no GO*
i have alot of zones that spawned lvl 3's
one zone had a lvl 3 that respawned as a lvl 3
it will come soon
i think ive killed a diamond wt at every single wt lake by now
got 2 more WT zones so woo
3 diamond wt, 2 melas, piebald doe, albino buck today so far
but most of it in multiplayer
Nice one. Hopefully a GO in the future 👀
yea i better get one soon 5.2k kills in smh lol
overdue! you'll get 3 in a week I reckon! 😉
well ive had 4 diamonds today now
after i get one im taking a break
2 troll 3’s today, 2 2’s that scored within a point of diamond, then as I was checking my zones on my last run I found a diamond piebald 😊 No GO respawn unfortunately but I’ll take a super rare any day
Best rack ever
indeed
Congrats!
Oof close one. Glad it was a min after and not before!
QQ: the drink times on racho for WT are 8->11:30 right? when going for zones I set the time between 8:30/8:40 but when I get to the first zones I never see deer there
ive got 5 diamonds 3 piebalds 2 melas and an albino just today but cant get a great one to save my life lol
is this normal? once I start to fast travel to other zones I'll come back later in the day and deer are there
GW @jovial snow
damn, now that's some proper grinding right there
3 of the diamonds and 1 rare from multi, but still
I haven't been grinding much
I feel like only now I'm starting to get the hand of my zones on ranch and have proper setups to actually do it in an efficient way
wasn't expecting the setups to set me back 300k but hopefully it will pay off
I’m about 7k harvests in and no GO. On Xbox so no rancho yet. Hopefully i can get my Layton GO before console release
16 tents plus 16 tripods is like 520k. Expensive but worth it
man I gotta give it to you console players, grinding GO with the bug still on the wild
respect!
Yeah, just gotta check those zones before you change maps or turn your game off and you should be fine. I’d be heartbroken if a bug ruined a GO
@zenith laurel I change time at an outpost on the other side of the map, then when I teleport they are there within an in0game minute
but that's since last update. They took quite some time before that
they still take 1+ hour for me on layton
I’ve had that a couple times lately but not too often. If they aren’t there I just fast travel to another zone then come back a few mins later. Sometimes the zone needs to be activated to get the deer to move in
sorry not sure what you mean with that?
what i've been doing when I log off: go that small lake on the right top corner of the map, reset time to 8:30 than turn the game off
I mean if I change time at a tent at a certain lake, there won't be whitetail there instantly. But if I teleport to the other side of the map, change time, and teleport back, voila - they are there already
when I came back the next day I just teleport to tens to start the grind
yeah thats cuz if ur in render when u change time they wont render into the zone instantly they render in far away
right so you are doing the same thing but yours are not there yet...
ohh ok nice! So I should try to keep a tent as far away as posssible from WT spawns
and reset time there
you can sleep at any house no need for a tent 😄
Tents should be 220-250m away from the zones you’re grinding. Ideally not within 200m of their travel path to the zone
yeah that was my follow up questions
are spawns affected by tent proximity?
or is it just to make sure you don't spook or get the non render bug when fast traveling?
No. Whether or not they render in is though
is there a way to "fix" when they don't render?
maybe look away and look back at the zone?
you go 200m away, and they render in on top of your tent 😄
often they make a call when they render
I ask this cause I have a tent like 150m of a zone
Run to ~250m from where they should be and they will appear
and I do use those zones to grind
That’s too close. They won’t render in
ok gotcha.. so you kinda have to "retrigger" the rendering
yea i have my tents 300 yards and tripods at 200
Correct. Zaggi made a video on it
