Practically everything is 4-8 now and there's nothing for the lower classes or the higher classes
.223 is useless, .243 is stock standard, the only other options for class 3 rifles are the Hudzik or the Mosin A little rework to spread out the calibers more would be nice
Oh and the .30-30, which has no range, and performs pathetically on class 5 and 6 animals
re-behaviour change, Hiding too much about the game encourages people to dig into code and data mine it, this is why people data mine furtypes.
Its generally useful yet useless information, An animal furtype spawn chance does not effect actual in-game gameplay as RNG calculated number of all combined furs (All commons, + rares) and that's where the number of prediction comes from.
Think the first ever diamond feral goat I ever got today is probably the best I could have got it is a perfectly even horns blonde 219 scoring diamond goat
Anybody up for going back to a 4 class weapon system? Ultralight/ .22, bird shot, light/ .223 , .243, medium .270 -7mm, Heavy / .300 .338
Not a complete list but that's what i just thought of
why does the call sound of animals come from a completely different direction than where the animal is?
I use the Air rifle on the the Roe deer
7mm is more medium-heavy
Same with the 9.3mm
.300 can be used on whitetail btw
Should be the same in-game too
Some reason my friend can't buy dlc and I can't play multiplayer anyone else able to play multiplayer or buy dlcs right now on console?
Agreed
The .300 is used for a ton of animals irl not the ones the game says is ok.
Nowhere in Africa would a PH allow a hunter to use a .300 win mag on a cape buffalo, it's suicidal
Yep
the new muzzleloader doesn't work so good with moose
Am I the only one that finds it decent for moose?
Like it's better then almost everything else
Imo
Canning
I can't get double lungs on broadside shots
I've been using the high expansion rounds unless I'm going for heart shot
300 most of the time can't get double lung to the civil war muzzleloader is really just about the only weapon that can consistently
That's a gun
I've been shooting from less than a hundred yards, a 50 cal muzz should do that
well it is cotw
The Hudzik? Does it count for the olden days mission?
Yeah I mean it's not as good as the other but it's not bad against the rest of the competition
I would hope so
I shot a half dozen moose and turkeys and didn't clear it
Interesting I had a friend that was talking about it having the same problem so it may be bugged
I used the longbow and bearclaw for the turkey and it cleared
I used the Curman for moose and nothing
It took me twice with the new muzzleloader for the moose
What’s better for hunting in general out of these two: bows or crossbows
Gonna be in a tripod
bows are quieter
bow and use the rangefinder sight 🤑
Lol I am
ah, the cheat sight
yes xD
I suck with the other sights :/
I actually don't use it anymore
also, a little tip...
the default scope compound bows use? The "zero" is the tip of the needle.
I am dead XD That rabbit yeeted itself after being shot with a .22lr
Well the problem for me is since I use the zeroing on pin sights it always changes the zeroing of the pins depending on what zeroing I have selected and that just fucks with my brain
it's incredibly accurate at 20 meters or so
.22lr pffft use the 50 cal. Make that bunny into minced meat
field to table I think its called
xD
XD I do that with ducks
fair fair
Shit man I even shoot Frickin foxes with it
Noooo not the pwetty foxes. I love the new model
.22H is fun
it's not as quiet as the LR, but it can wreck both birds and foxes without penalty
Yeah I love that gun
How do you use the rangefinder sight on pc
press E while aiming, iirc
Aight
yeah aim at red and then shoot on the green
Oh no I knew what you mean
Ik
Just the key to use i didn’t
I played this on xbox before hand XD
I’m gonna shoot some hazels with a bow XD
Go for it
have fun
I also have some bow grinding to do, just started a new save. Got boring to have all the guns and everything unlocked
Yea I mainly used bows, crossbows were better for bigger game
honestly, it's weird. The "red fox downed with a bow" mission actually made me ragequit the game for a bit the first time I had to do it, but now I love going after the smol predators with a bow.
literally all you have to do is set up in a blind and call them over
Yeah I usually carry a bow and all the arrows so its easy to switch out for smaller game etc
Lol I like the tripods for some better sight
oh a bow's pretty much permanently part of my loadout now
Lol
I like the razorback because it's light
Honestly I wish there was a way to like quick select ammo. Because I´d love to be able to run around with just a bow or shotgun and be able to quickly change out ammo and react depending on what animal I am facing.
I hear a Lynx…. Hehehehe
boy do I have something to tell you about the weapon wheel
XD
highlight the bow, press Q
Oooh right forgot about that lol
lmao
that´s a game changer XD
it'll shuffle between the arrows. Do note, though, that you have to go through a loading animation
Yeah I like stopped playing for a bit when I got bored and never really got to play around with the weapon wheel. But I guess I should give that a go now with my new save.
also the Medved camo looks good on the Razorback
Wild, just putting out there, i can go bow hunting with ya sometime
so does the Acres one, honestly
...actually I think I like the Acres one on it better
Sounds great man, I am in Swedish timezone though so depending on what timezone your in it might be hard. It´s 4am for me right now
Have they talked anything about metallic paints on streams or something? Do we know if that is gonna be a thing?
No idea at all whatsoever.
I'm just hoping we get some blue paint at some point
we have nothing remotely blue right now.
Lol I don’t sleep
Fair enough. I don´t either lol. I have a condition that makes it hard for me to sleep :( hence why I am awake at 4am right now
Just putting it out there, multiplayer is a Bad Idea rn
why?
as in "very bad bug" bad idea
if you start on SP, go to MP, then go back to SP, you get a new population on whatever map you were on.
Oh
Oh.
lol
lol that's one way to look at it
medved here we come
ye honestly. Mississippi was not the greatest. Like the alligators are cool and all but I didn´t really fancy the map
I don't mind Acres, but it's a pain trying to see foxes on it
also, southeast region is great for whitetail
Lol
Gators are fun to snipe in the water
Hell, there’s some right where you start
Right in that little road pond
Until you find a nice one and they dive for 20 minutes and you try to spot them again but they are more gone then your father.
Been there done that
Eh I’ll hunt them irl next summer
Oh sweet. I hunt here in Sweden, not that many gators here unfortunately
having them come ashore right under your treestand is fun
That guy ain´t diving anymore
the art of the peanut shot is not an easy one to master
lol
random bit of advice, "red" is an excellent active track color for Hirsch
unless your colorblind like me and can't see red mixed in with green
LOL
😩
I feel bad now
Eh its fine
I said “LOL” at the wrong time
XD
why do i feel like you seen it, yelled WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT then shot and killed it lmao
und in deutschland nennt man das einen Hochsitz.
And you couldn't reply in English suddenly.
Server language is English.
I come from Germany. do not you speak German? I do not speak English. and in germany they call it a "high seat" if you don't believe me. be smart. what is google for
at the support I was told that every language is welcome
You're not making yourself look very good with that attitude btw.
next time, if something bothers you, just ignore it.
my post was about a high seat that cannot be built up. I reported that. if you make fun of it, you are the ones who are not doing well
Anybody who wants to play? pc
My grind for the great one moose has gone pretty good so far, I already got a diamond moose and I just spotted a piebald moose last night
Yes
ima kms
Hey folks, I'm on a ps4 but if this helps cool, I have two accounts one is an offline account (no psn attached) and any time you enter the storage on that account the screen freezes and it says there is no content. you lose all control and the only way to exit is to exit the game.
Hello I need help
I the hunter call of the wild,bought dlc pack(Bloodhound)but i don't know how to use it
What is the drink time for wolves
go to an outpost, access the storage, go to "kennel" and you will be able to unlock a dog for free
how do i go to college
Handsome birds, those Green Winged Teals.
There are no wolves in New England Mountains, you should ask in Cotw-general chat. and specify which reserve, and wolf species you mean, as there are several (several reserves with wolves).
Is anyone else having a problem with the shooting competition mission? Specifically the harvest animals with a bow shot to the heart? I have made several heart shots on 3 different species well over the required distance with a compound and crossbow and it won't complete.
Its apparently bugged happenibg with the muzzleloader too for some people
It happened with the 100m bow kill too but after the 3rd time it worked
on new england one of the lookout points is fenced off. any one know why?
Its not really a lookout tower, it just looks like one.
Is it not a water tower?
is there a outpost on the east side of the river in this area
To the bottom right of that lake should be an outpost
If you survey from the nearby lookout point it should show up
alr thx
How's the new map?? Was kinda disappointed there weren't any new species in this one
Green-winged teal.
and it's a pretty map.
the way it's set up makes you slow down and have to actually look around for the animals too
I think I know the one you mean. I thought it was as well and then I managed to stumble into the tiny door. to the side of the big locked gate.
Hey, can't start a new game
Tried it on a new ps4 account with no psn account. froze the first time I went into the locker's storage
this is something for #882552595745484801
my bad
Just got a pie bull moose
My very first super rare!! Thank you New England 🥰
Only a mallard but still very impressive
What's the best rifle for moose right now? barring the 300
“only a mallard” bro super rare ducks are among the hardest SRs to get
.300 is the best rifle so far
For moose that is
not like they spawn in flocks of 10 or so, but sure
Not melanistic ones.
Yeah those ones are rare af
But a diamond melanistic? Fuck thats rare
i cant wait until i see my first diamond bear and its a cinnamon lmao
but i miss the shot
Cuz im shit like that
Yeah and red deer spawn in herds of up to 3 dozen yet it took me 19500 kills to get my piebald diamond
And they’re far easier to grind
gahd damn
Rip
i couldnt imagine how anyone has an albino diamond moose, waaay too damn rare, atleast without using dlc maps
He's no diamond but i'm still kinda proud
Holy shit niceeeeee
@sharp night you probably dont remember but i asked you how long you thought it would take for you to get a GO moose how are you doing so far on your mission
You've got one of my biggest dream trophies to get in this game big congratulations my friend you'll cherish that duck forever my first super rare was a Leucistic and it's still my favorite trophy I've ever got and would absolutely love to get one like yours congrats
I think everyone’s first SR is their favourite trophy
There just isn’t any experience that beats it
Are coyote drink times more like Layton or Rancho for NE map?
Can confirm this
That thing is beautiful. Big congrats on that
i wouldn’t know I don’t have one 😩
I’ve gotten closer to a super rare in classic than cotw
still working on it. There are so many zones on New England. I wanted to avoid Medved for the first one. I will pad my numbers after i get my first one on NEM. Its difficult with a week of 12 hour shifts at work lol.
So I’m trying to do herd management for moose but the only level 2s that are spawning are at my main zones
Whats the drink zones of coyotes and both foxes?
So amazing thanks a lot really
You got a map like that for moose yet?
Moose are on literally every body of water and the hot spots are going to vary widely from that map. You'll probably have to rotate for a couple days before you have a solid idea of hot spots and dead zones.
Yes that's what I do
I do lakes one day then I move to the rivers the next
For me more zones= more moose
More meese= great one
Some parts of the river will have some zones legit like 20 feet apart but yeah the river will have majority of the zones from what I seen on mine
Best map
Yes please ^
im asking for at least FSR 2.1 because asking for DLSS would be just dumb and asking too much
I don't think DLSS is supported by DX 11
yeah that might be right indeed
and its also more complicated to implement anyway compared to fsr
They could upgrade the engine to DX12 and add Raytracing for RTX 🤔
i need to remind you that this is avalanche
💀
or expansive
whoever they are lmao
"Avalanche Studios Is Experimenting With DirectX 12 & Dynamic Tessellation" - May. 2015
https://gamingbolt.com/avalanche-studios-is-experimenting-with-directx-12-dynamic-tessellation/comment-page-1
Don't understand why COTW had DX11 in 2017...
Or.. did you play multi-player rancho at some point recently?
(Unless they have solved the multi-player ruins your map bug)
wait why would multi player ruin my map
Going onto multiplayer resets your singleplayer population on that map. On PC it’s hopefully been fixed with the recent hotfix
wtf
expansive worlds 💀
imagine if someone had great ones stacked
and the map just reset
Is the binoculars bug fixed in the hotfix?
No.
No.
there were other non-visual bugs that were higher priority
This hotfix aims to resolve some of the issues encountered since the release of the New England Mountains reserve and the Granite Update.
patch notes are here
Guys the mission where I have to visit landmarks is still bugged e?
Are the new coats exclusive to NE or are they universal
New coats?
As in fur types for moose? No you can get a GO moose on any map with any of the fur types
does anyone know at what time do common racoon drink at?
If I had to guess it's 0-3
Like 0 - 24
0 -24?
They drink 3-6 on nem
makes sense, I was searching for them at 0:00 - 3:00 and I couldnt find anything
Hello Hunters, I'm asking myself if I'm the only one having the misplacement sounds (beast warning always at wrong place) ... any hot fix for that ? 🦌
So. . . i left halfway through, what he say?
Many things…

What?
check general pc and scroll up
what's the hotkey for waypoints through binoculars
ty
Wasnt it changed to Y in the update yesterday
Think that's console
that just crossed my mind after I sent lol. Makes sense lol.
too lazy to log back in and check as 6am and near bed time for me for nightshift
Y/Triangle for Xbox and PS, respectively
And controller on pc
the patch just isn't on console yet
3 to 6 on NE
My phone did a thing
Will the graphics be fixed on xbox one too?
It's supposed to be sometime this week
how does weapon score work?
Yeah but the patch notes only mentions series x and s
Were the graphics bad on Xbox one degraded as well? One, one s, one x?
What do you mean
took me a while to see the trajectory arrow
Yes, just a one
I have a One X and I don’t think the graphics were changed
I have no knowledge of it being changed
Hi all where is best for turkeys for the mission with bow please 🙏
I only specifically notice it when the sunlight hits objects in game… especially when you are holding the phone or rifle
And the lighting is just messed up as a whole
I can't wait for this hotfix to come to console I'm so tired of not being able to customize my guns
i need the waypoint thing fixed
Agreed, the sunlight blocking half the scope is annoying
First kill I got a piebald whitetail buck
Let's have a good rest of the night get some diamonds and great ones.
anyone have an animal list for new england?
im pretty sure its layton with birds
pins

They should have a map screen shot competition and let people vote .....
This map is picture competition worthy
.44 mag lever action, I seriously want one in game
Just me or does the game feel more pixelated after the update
What device
yep. Here too on PC. Some textures are in the lowest resolution..bushes...grasses...not all - only sometimes. You can see it several meters away, because it flicker.
All settings on Ultra here. 1440p res + TAA activated. The problem came with the update
Ye everything in the distance
Like 15m and up
Ill screenshot later on
If you get really close, you'll see that it's a very low-resolution texture
Hello, what callers can I use on the silver ridge pack? Thanks
ye
right in the middle
god its awful
worse and worse
I was gonna ask about the weird oixelation low end graphics if anyone else is getting it. Game has looked horrible past 2 days for ke but still running 100 to 140 fps just looks like crap
I been seeing pixels and i'm on ps4, i got no idea
yeah, I'm noticing it too
EW fix it you gave me the ugly
@uneven bloom when I saw my tripod like that too I thought what am I playing wolf 3d here
restarting the game seems to have fixed it (for now)
if I notice it again, I'm going to play around with the graphic settings a bit before reporting it
😂😂
I have tried 2 monitors and dropping settings still there on mine. Winder how much bad stuff they rolled back into the game with the hotfix as people been saying they are seeing a lot of old bugs and glitches popping up. My game was fairly fine bug wise until the hotfix came through
The fix ain’t doing too hot
Yeah I messed up in game voice commands many years ago when friend gave me custom soundfiles to implement 😂 took him hours to figure out I had forgotten just a couple simple things. I dont touch anymore
Hot fix is a hot🤬 and not the type that is in your area (if you know what I mean )
Where are the javelinas on Parque Fernando?
Handled. DM it to one of us next time instead of making it public, please.
did you have fog enabled?
Fog has never caused pixilation like that before.
it has on my end
I'll try to see if I can re-replicate
fog on
fog off [removed embed] wrong capture, not 1:1
I don't see a difference.
tree edge
the tree's leaves look pixelated
that's because no fsr, ignore it
fog off, fixed scale
let me find my tripod and do another
@uneven bloom fog off, fog on
feel free to add these to the report
What time do racoon drink
...yep the pixellation issue is definitely tied to the fog.
Which consoles can't turn off.
Consoles really did get the short end of the stick
Yes
Wheres the rail road bridge at I used to know i forgot tho
They always do unfortunately
If I am looking to "grind" casually for GOs, do I bother killing female moose as well? or just bulls?
how do u chat again
t
my game is updating. has there been a new update/patch?
yes, a hotfix
when is the multiplayer glitch getting patched?🥹
Is the patch confirmed for console yet?
Either late this week or early next week.
Thanks
which glitch
Damn im happy rn
2 gold grizzlys
and gaaahd damn grizzlys are big holy shit
Got 5 grizzlys total tho
bruh the scope is a better binocular than the normal one 💀
😂
no need for a ladder on that tripod, can just climb the pixel stairs
i just got an update
I'm not sure if this was the patch because it looks the same for me
What was size
I think like 18 gigs for me
The hotfix was about 8.9gig for me so maybe a diff one
Im at work another 6 hours but might have a look qhen home. Otherwise my 6 days off might be cheking out a couple other games been meaning to finish or look at lol
The hot fix was like 18.71 gig
But I had to delete about 3 games thought still go about 5 hours till it done
We need a hotfix for the hotfix..a fog-fix 🤔
I didnt realise you could turn fog off. Every morning on my TA grind the lakes fog up and give me the 💩s. Now gonna turn it off
Console players can’t turn it off 😭
I like this map, I've gotten 3 piebald on it, and I've only shot like 20-30 animals
Oooff 8.5 gig download
Where is the spreadsheet with water times for animals and is it updated for New England?
Thank you ❤️
i need help i found a diamond on new england mountains but spooked it, is there any good way to track it using their footsteps?
What was it?
If it was using a need zone you can come back anytime during the need zone time and it should be there.
any new bugs in the console patch i should worry about?
unable to play game on ps4 after latest fix
Heyyyy
Any whitetail maps for England
Day 1 of playing I got almost all dlcs and I shot diamond bison on srp
And I’m starting go grind Today, Or soon
Is there a good reason to use the 20ga slug?
good emergency defense ammo
If it has good penetration I think I might hunt reindeer with it
It's pretty good actually
Tbh i would use the 50. Muzzle loader for them
thats just what i would specifically use tho
How far do my tents need to be from the water for safely fast traveling to hunt great ones?
I swear, there's more trolls on my map than a Steam review page
I had a 38.92 level 9 max weight grey wolf yesterday, the trolls are everywhere lately (on medved)
@long spade
for me its the reindeer
Hopefully you get out of the pool of trolls
😂 what was that rabbit doing
@icy sable
Maybe the terrain is causing them to think they are standing on level ground?
bro woke up and chose stripper
😂 😂
bro is working out to be ripped af like the dudes at WotH
yeah they are watching too much anime
Bwahahaha shot one on RC last night doing that!!
i can do that
minus the transition
wtf lol
Anyone have any good spots to go or tips for this map?
What you trying to hunt. Cause I have some spots for ducks
Whitetail
Oh I had good luck at the pumpkin patch! And 10216.431,6116.352
No problem that place is also good for turkey and mallard and green wing and golden eye
They changed somethin cuz my goofy ass game keeps crashing on yukon
parkour glitched my way up there to look at the easter egg think I really wasnt meant to see this lol
That’s cool
yeah apparently orcs are canon in thehunter
I really hate how much scope wobble there is, even with the perks
What scope are you using?
i was using the 8-16, just dropped it and went back to the 4-8
A 6-12 scope would be a nice mid point between the argus and hyperion
Higher magnification without hideous scope wobble
I'm after a Moose great one, what are the best spots to be chasing it?
Medved is easy to grind.
Used a 6.5, moose ran 0.56 mile, used a 270, moose ran 279 yards
Is the hot fix out on Xbox?
yeah
Thanks
Typical 6.5 for ya ig
neither of them should be moose guns, but i'm surprised and impressed how well the .270 handled it
Same
Back in my noob days the .270 was my moose getter
The .270 and 6.5 would both be amazing 3-7 guns, and add some variety to roe hunts
it'd be nice if the 300 was 6-9 too
a bunch of people like this idea, seems like, wonder why EW hasn't done it?
Bro I’m having to grind like crazy to get that gun. I’ve never had 75k ever 😭
do you have medved?
I was gonna say that's about how much the main mission line pays out
But really, running missions will get you the money fast, otherwise hunt some red deer on hirsch
I’ll have to try that
All I’ve been doing is just whitetail hunting at drunk times dropping as many as I can
Drink*
reds usually pay out 1000-1500 per male, but even females pay a lot
Te Awaroa is loaded, moneygirnd heaven, plus the .303 is a great rifle
So many options
The .270 does good on red deer and the ammo is cheap too, makes the grind better cuz free gun
Yes
I just shot anything and just kept grinding till I got my .300
I must say it was very worth it
think i found a moose with asthma
whoever at ew came up with the idea of having doc be in new england, i actually love you so much
this story made me so happy
Same
What spots on Medved are best for Moose grinding?
Drink zones
Check every lake pond or puddle between 12-1600
For me it's the middle river and the big lake, those two under it are good too.
They’re the wood devils😂
Almost. They're the models used in the NZ map from "The Hobbit" reference.
still cool doe
Oh… I haven’t done the mission, are there actually wood devil’s in the game?
lol no
not rly? how come?
I’ll randomly be riding the ATV and it will crash in to invisible rocks and freak out. And it’s in the middle of the road too. Also, there’s these pictures…
The grass is floating in several parts of the map
Floating grass and stones can be found all over the game. It's not only the new map. They've told us they have to rewrite the whole game to fix it
That sucks. I’ve only ever encountered it this bad on the new map
actively look for it, you'll see it all over
I don’t think I want to🥴😂
Are we able to request new item for them to add in the game? I have a suggestion for something I’d like to see added.
#882552632793767966 might be the chat you are after
i love this map
i was on call with my friend and said "watch as i turn around and get attacked by a moose or bear"
sure enough i turn around and there's a bear standing 20m behind me
she's enjoying the scenery
I can see that’s totally a bear 👍
yes most definitely
is the new England worth it
wouldve been nice if they added atleast some new birds such as ruffed grouse or american woodcock
revontuli
The bird map
oh you mean non birds?
Yeah i bad at any flying things
probably yukon or vurhonga
Where a good red deer spot on Te awora
Anyone else having trouble completing missions with New England Mountains? I've shot wildlife greater than 50m from me in the heart and it didn't count. I also harvested a moose with a muzzleloader. Didn't count
Hello, the game would improve a lot if there was cross-play, I play on PC and my friend is from PlayStation and we can't play together. I'm sure it happens to many more people, please put cross-play
Game engine is too old for that to be possible, unfortunately.
What a pity, I hoped that in some future they would introduce the cross game
What's the method in terms of hunting around rivers on NE? Trying to find the bucks on my map for Moose but only seeing a handful so they must be on other water sources
I’ve placed down tents on key spots around the river and just use them to get around during drink times
You're going to hate this.
I experimented, because I actually succeeded at the task requisite when I shouldn't have, and failed at another one when I should have.
It does NOT account the actual kill shot information. It only accounts for the weapon you have drawn at the time of harvest, including a "scopeless" weapon.
Literally just sent a detailed report to the team
That...is a very odd bug.
They have recently redone the harvest page information, I wonder if certain parameters don't mean what they used to.
But it also strikes me as a junior programmer doing a whoopsies
The muzzleloader one for me didn't count untill I had the Turkey part done, after that the first kill with the muzzleloader that came with the map finished the mission
Gotcha. I guess I didn't realize there was one that came with the map and have been using the Whitlock.
hey guys!
I have a question!!!! So is the fur colors in ne same for reventouli for ducks?
there are no fabled mallards, sir
tell that to this screenshot
if a animal is in 1 map and in another all fur types are available for all maps that said animal is in
There are no reserve-specific fur types for animals, so if a species is on one map if its on another it will share the same fur types
thats mission fur types
Except mission fur types, forgot to mention that
CAP!!!
i was just saying if 1 animal is in 4 diffrent maps they all share the fur types
yeah thats correct
then why did you feel the need to try and say i was wrong the fuck?
@golden herald why would you start this beef? now you gotta step up and take charge of your children
@golden herald yes come take care of us bro why did you go get milk
Children calm down I was curious about if a green wing teal piebald was rare.
I found out!!!!
did you f*** around and find out or what?
I did lol but I missed a diamond green wing 🤦🏼♂️
It do bee
Thanks!!
New great one dropped
Also te awaroa mocha moose... and the bloody mouth albino brown bear on medved
Anyone having trouble with missions on new england? just shot a bull moose at 200yds with the 6.5, when I picked it up it signed off the side mission for 109yd shot with the bow?
Scroll up a little and read my post
Thanks, yep that explains it, I'd got the bow in hand as I'd taken a cow on the way to collect the bull.
Anyone up for a .375 JDJ pistol? It's a monster single shot cartridge with a good reputation for brown bear hunting in Alaska
Anyone else just imidiateley searched up the wood devil to see what it looks like? 💀
Are 8 mythical female foxes rare?
taxidermy her
Now THIS ... is how you explore a new map xD
it's a tiny annoyance, but I wish once you had all the towers unlocked it cleared all the shade from the map
Does it not?
It does
I just don't unlock them yet to know where I've been and where I haven't
Since when? I haven't played in half a year or so
As long as I remember, I think it always did
Not for me, I'm on ps4 if that makes a difference
Anybody else having issues with .300 and lack of any damage. Shot multiple moose point blank and no damage whatsoever
And now I'm magically broke
Didn't buy squat, just opened the map and went from 870k cash to zero
Damn
I think it’s just the moose hit box just being funky I’ve shot lots of moose with a variety of guns and they seem to miss on a perfect shot
I'd agree with you if the muzzle loader had missed too. I did an experiment where I shot 6 moose with the .300 almost point blank and none of the shots connected. Shot 6 more nearly point blank with the muzzle loader and all 6 shots connected.
It seems if you aim near the heart area front tale it seems to not connect try that with the muzzle loader and see if it works that seems to be the only time I “miss”
I'll test that when I get on tmrw
speaking of muzzle loader and moose, there is this mission where u gotta shoot one with a muzzle and shit ain't working for me
i tried old weapon too
male female
same result
anyone else having dat problem or is just me
nvm I just read this
New muzzleloader seems to struggle on moose
it struggles on everything lol
\
anyone on else on ps4? the latest patch causes my game to crash at main loading screen now
I even reinstalled the game
So my game bugged (already reported) any best guesses what rank this moose is? Can’t collect the kill sadly. :c
Prob a gold I’d say
Or silver I don’t think it made diamond
im obssesed with this map ngl
is it better than Silver Ridge?
Can you restore weapon skin to default?
Yes
I thought it didn’t work too but then I shot the turkey with the wrong arrow lol
2 completely different maps
depends what you want to hunt lol
this map is a lot more challenging than srp
i wanna like srp but the map is just so easy even when i try to make it harder for myself lmao
i like a challenge
SRP is like the easiest map that’s not really a fair comparison
A fair comparison would be saying it’s more difficult than Medved or even Hirschfelden
(Which it is)
Medved > Hirsch
Hirschfelden is only good for geese imo
Euro Bison
The more you play this game the more you realize Hirschfelden isn’t a bad map
I used to fucking despise it
Ya I needed to restart my game since I switched from ps4 to ps5
The fields are amazing now, for every species. And the lower 1/4 and the top left of the map have clear sight lines within the forests
You didn’t transfer your data?
It didn’t let me
My condolences
Idk for most games it transferred over but for cotw it didn’t
does COTW work with epic amd steam games
like can my friend that has it on epic games play it with me on steam
Yes
Ya I think only pc is cross plat between steam and epic
fr hirsch and medved always fount those fun
I wasn’t much of a fan of medved
i think the snow and ice is cool
It’s also cus I haven’t had people to play with
Medved is one of my favourite maps
They need to add backround music to every reserve like they did for New England mountains
I like to just walk around the map and shoot everything
Its very detailed, i love it
I hope someday they somehow increase the grass distance, it would improve the look of the game so much, and it would be a lot harder to spot animals from a distance
What are wood devils? Why do I need to photograph one?
you dont
It's only a mission thing and if you photo one you will know what it is ...
So i went hunting IRL this morning, got my deer, and immediately got severely annoyed by how useless the .30-30 is in this game
I also just thought of this. Considering how they mounted the scopes on the M1 and the mosin, the Whitlock could use any scope in the game including the red dot sight!
I’m sorry I just find awfully hilarious
You go hunting irl and the first thing you think of after the deer is down “god this gun is useless in that one fucking game” and start getting angry ☠️☠️☠️
lol Pepega
I dropped a 180 pound buck at 256 yards. I was really happy until i got back and my gf was playing. the first thing she said was why did you waste money on this? and pointed at the screen. that's when I started thinking about it
Just loaded in to New england, little intro got me hyped up. Don’t even know what species is on here.
Let me know if it’s worth the buy!
How many side missions are there in New England?
More than 4
So I decided to check my fox zones 💀
Yeah it sure was! so much land too hunt.
I just ran my entire map for moose and have counted 166 drink zones
anyone know how to set up great one grind on this map
best way to discover water zones
Sure was for me!
Yes. Set time to 12:30, and check every bit of water. Not even exaggerating.
Every single dlc is worth is and definitely if it's on sale
I think there’s only like 2/3 maps I don’t have yet and that’s just bc I didn’t want to buy them yet
She tripped, obviously 😂
Just got 2 diamond green wings
how many times do i have to go through every bit of water
the fandom wiki definitely needs a proper animal list lol
If it's a grind as many times as it takes to find a GO
how come half the time when i reset time or go a a zone with no pressure nothing shows up/only does
I think at least a solid once over. Sometimes some areas need 2 passes. But you shouldnt have to go over the areas you have zones found if that makes sense.
Like if you spook some moose, and dont pickup the zones, you may need to go back.
and i want to have every single zone
should i only worry about the river or lakes also
and i have already shot some whitetail in the river does that make a difference
I've found more bull moose on Lake shores than along the rivers.
Mostly cows along the rivers for me anyway
Why are there so many hackers Bro I joined a multi Player and There was like 4 of em
was just hosting a lobby and a level 100 joined...
never closed a lobby so fast
You can just kick them
you don't lose your DLC
yeah but is there a way to completely restart
stats and everything
or no
id assume making a new avalanche acc would result in loss of dlcs
Just make a new char?
thats not a completely fresh start tho
I thought it started you at level 1 with 'new' maps and everything?
Ah, you mean the codex stats?
yeah
I thought it reset those and feel I read it did, but I guess not
Damn.
yeah i learned to not join random multiplayer sessions
joined one and the animals exp had been tampered with
:/
What if you delete game save file data? Not sure why you would need a complete restart tho 🤔
"New Game" from the menu.
yeah but that doesnt reset codex and that stuff
It does.
Speaking as someone who has started new games many times.
No, it doesn't.
I have reset my save many times. It wipes EVERYTHING except your lodges.
ill have to check next time i get on ig
but if you don't mind losing your lodges along with the codex, just delete the entire COTW folder
does that delete your dlcs tho?
You keep DLCs forever unless the platform you bought them on hecks up.
in your case, they're tied to your Steam account. Not Avalanche.
I reiterate though
deleting the COTW folder manually WILL DELETE YOUR LODGES PERMANENTLY.
along with everything in them. So save that for a nuclear if-all-else-fails option.
Yes it does
That's what I thought, I was surprised they said otherwise
Found a RIDICULOUSLY dense hunting spot near the first outpost lol Multiple whitetail need zones lol
@kind osprey what guns are you currently packing?
Running the Martensson(s?) thunder (6.5mm), the 30-30 lever-action and a Kulman Hornet. Was running Kulman/Mosin but that left-out moose.
Went 300, 243,22H and dragging a 12 gauge . Haven’t been close enough to quail or pheasant to even need the shotgun.
Was thinking of just dropping the 12 for the extra slot. Thanks for the reply
Np, happy to help.
This map seems a bit too empty. Perhaps it could do with some more need zones?
If that is how it is IRL then I guess it is what it is.
Also the forests are too dense for hunting, need to hire someone to cut down 50% of the trees lol
This map is like the one map I have yet to find empty areas on lol
There's always something even if it's just small game
I definitely think it is. Best place for tree stand hunting. Only thing is..wish they had Mule deer.
Mule deer is not on the east coast and def not in new england
Idk, that map is from wikipedia, so take it up with them
But there's definitely none in NE
Oh definitely not.
But we have them here.
Hi guys i was wondering how to "fast travel" to a location in the story mode
there's story mode?
Missions = story
oh
lol the games i play story mode is like a different 'game' altogether. you can only face travel to tents or outposts you've claimed. if you've claimed it, click the icon in map mode
dude its 2 km 💀
then walk lol
are there vehicles?
those aren't game birds. just a distraction
Sounds like you need to grab a bow, some scent eliminator and a couple of calls, my friend lol
Also, for any of you wondering where I've set up my tent and stand, these should help 🙂
The gulls ?
Sight lines from the stand 🙂
Yeah, those white birds in Layton are immersion animals (they can’t be collected and in their case, found dead)
Weasels on medved were, squirrel on hirsch, hares on Layton were some of those too a long time ago
Even if you have previously claimed an outpost and it then becomes a destination in the missions at a later time, that outpost becomes locked out of fast travel....you will have to walk or ATV to it. At least that is what happened to me.
That’s odd
Why are all of these marked as spoilers?💀
Just in case people don't want to know that these things are there and would rather discover them for themselves.
I figure it hurts no one to hide them so that only the people who WANT to see the spots actually see them 🙂
Not everyone’s map is the same. Some hotspots that other people have yield zero zones for me
Also, in what world will people be upset if they see someone else recommending a hotspot
Yes
Look at how people react to any kind of "spoiler" online lol I'm just avoiding any potential issues while making the recommendation easily accessible for anyone who wants it.
And it's rare that I've seen a guide online NOT have overlapping hotspots with my game... Like, ever
I can tell you for a fact that nobody in here will become upset over you showing a hotspot/location you hunt
Okay, but is my concealing them from automatic view an issue in some way?
Not really, I was just initially curious why you did it
Okay 🙂
Well, there's why lol I didn't see a downside and I figured I'd head-off the potential, no matter how unlikely, for someone to want to experience the game entirely on their own lol
People go onto Marvel movie forums and complaint that something shown in a trailer was a spoiler, man lol I don't know lol
Also, I've gotta head off to work but, if anyone has some ideas for fun/interesting hunting challenges, reply to this and let me know? I'll do my best to complete them over the holidays (I have the weekend off lol)
Get a great one 💯
Yeah, I'll get right on that lmao
It's the best challenge lol
You can go for like, diamond of every species on a map
Diamond of all predators, etc
Go for every color variation of a species
Or pick a species and get a diamond on each map it's on
Lots of fun stuff IMO
diamond wolf on yukon, on medved,etc
Wat platform ya play on?
PC
I meant @pastel nymph
check storage, new button prompt
Lmao
I want to get my next diamond with the Alexander
diamond with only hudzik 
nah i have like 100 hours with the hudzik as my main gun i love that 3-8 baby to bits
The caplock? Oh yeah, round shot or minée ball are both 🐐'd
i prefer using the minié but ill swap to the round ball for level 3s
The Hudzik is probably my most used rifle behind the Kullman
Really? The Kullman? I just don't find myself using it all that much. I get that it has the 1-2 spread but i find I encounter 2s so rarely that a pistol or shotgun is more weight efficient or versatile
I'll use it if there's a lot of 2s to hunt and I want something to quickly long-shot a bird with, maybe a hare, but I have to admit im a little confused... what's the point of the new .22lr ammo? Increased penetration on .22lr seems... irrelevant? You hit a 1 with a .22lr and it's dead instantly, isn't it?
Nah I just don't own the virant pack and the zarza 22lr gets boring
Eh... Kullmann = 2.5 kg and >200m shoot range..what shotgut is "more weight efficient" that can do this? I'm using the cullmann for a week - and have it almost the whole time. Shooting bird-stuff and foxes & co.
I just don't need the range lol
I'm not saying it's the wrong way to play, far from it, but I prefer the challenge of closing the distance over the challenge of ranging and compensating for wind
Shotgun will run everything from 1-8 with one firearm, similar to bows in that regard except that shotguns are better for rapidly downing multiple birds for quick cash
However. I
I've just realized that there was a pistol pack I hadn't explored, yet, so I'll be getting to that, right now
I've also had problems mission tasks not registering. Do we need to do tasks in order or what? In other maps that hasn't been necessery. The muzzleloader registered after I shot a second moose. Now I have killed an animal from over 100m with a bow two times and it doesn't register
not sure, that sharpshooter mission I did out of order
the team just went on holiday break, so it'll probably be a while before you hear back.
yeah i know
Anybody else having issues with the landmarks mission on New England?
Idk
I don’t really do missions but I’ll see what I can find mate
new map is pumping diamonds like no other
few days back I got a 275.5 whitetail out of nowhere right after a small 260(?) diamond whitetail
anyone else having crazy luck?
I get a diamond on NH every couple of hours of light herd management
Any suggestions on how to get more diamonds or a great one to spawn never had either lots of golds white tails and moose suggestions.
After a few days of NEM i'm honestly a little bored with it. It's too similar to the other maps really, it is convenient to have so many small predators on one map tho
Nh?
New Hampshire (New England Mountains)
mission guaranteed wolves and ibex are easy to come by
So far ive got 11 side missions, are tbere any more than that?
Is this map worth it even if i'm not at all interested in the small game? The map looks gorgeous, but that animal list is extremely off-putting
It’s good imo
whats the biggest whitetail someone has gotten? (Non GO)
275.5
supposedly there's a 276 out there, but I've never seen it posted in here.
Hello
Anybody up for wallabies on Te Awaroa?
#🦌︴find-a-game
@long spade
??????? I was asking if anybody wanted wallabies on Te Awaroa
Bruh
lol
I wish there was a chat specifically for fails and weirdness
Does anyone have a moose grind setup on nem
is the game worth buying
My brother
Youre in a server of people who play this for hours upon hours on end
What do you expect us to say? No?
No
Not at all
Hell no
Regret spending money on it and dlcs
😂
Spending money on this game is like a bad addiction
omg that's the best way to describe it i've ever heard
Is there a way to only see a specific animal types icons on the map?
Nope, no filters
What are the best lakes for whitetail in new england?
How long is this chat gonna be around
It usually stays around up until the next DLC
Dose anyone have a map for bobwhite quail
Little probably go poof at some point soonish
I think the next DLC in line at this point will probably be a weapon pack
i actually bought the game about 3-4 days ago and i’ve racked up around 35-45+ hours on it already
it’s an amazing game.
i’m also guilty of owning half of the DLC’s and i haven’t even had the game for a month
Can agree worst 1800 hours of my life
1600 hours of my life I’ll never get back
LMFAOAOAOA
Yuuup
so far since i’ve bought the game it’s honestly very addicting
i surprise myself how i can sit here for 6-8 hours playing this game when it’s relatively slow paced
Since there's mods here, is getting launched off the atv a common bug?
It’s a common bug
we are not tech support, boi
Just wanted to know if I need to report it
Cuatro hates me tho haven't unlocked the whole map and got knocked out fifteen times
Occasionally when going down a Rocky hill, said hill will slingshot yeet you off the ATV
it's less of a bug and more of a Game Physics™️ thing
Then I won't bother reporting it, it and the hovercraft are actually kinda fun
It's been around forever like lyra said it's more of an accidental shitty bonus feature then a real bug
I got a photo in the trophy section but I’ll just send you the photo if you don’t feel like scrolling
Is there a good spot for Turkeys on this map pls?
Which map?
New England
Turkeys are everywhere north of the mid-river
Thank you
The very first lookout tower i visited had a bird clipped inside it. So i shoot it and it's fucking gold 
Bro same thing happened to me
silver ridge is my favorite turkey map
why are coyotes class 2 but bobcat class 3?
A very good question
imo the classes really dont make much sense
like why are wolves and cougars in a class of their own
same for bears
Why is a lion in the same class as a BISON
Ive never shot one and I don't doubt they're tough, but there's no way that thing has the same degree of hide thickness, muscle mass, and fat as a bison or water buffalo.
They are surprisingly durable animals
Like, IRL, they have a LOT of blood in their circulatory system and they have a thick skull to survive getting tossed around by animals larger than themselves
and also it’s to allow you to use the .470 on them
Again I don't doubt they're tough.
But there's no way they're water buffalo tough.
Apparently for the rare occasions where lion hunting is permitted, the minimum required caliber is .375 H&H or equivalent
not that it’s replicated 100% in game, but you get the idea
I do wish that their durability and true danger was better replicated in game tho
Like, jack their actual health way up and make them a lot more likely to go aggressive
I wish this for a lot of things.
I like how moose are aggressive now, but I've been attacked now by more moose than anything else.
Including grizzlies.
