[jovial spade]

We crave for more

I question, will the 2 new ducks be the only new species?

[shadow loom]

Haha, well... I guess there is always more to be shown or said so keep an eye on our channels for the next two weeks 😉 And yes, those will be the only new species in Salzwiesen Park

[jovial spade]

Aw man, I really hoped for badgers. Well I can't be picky, this is an amazing treat for us

[kind lava]

I need to know the rest of the species on the map, I'm super excited, I'm looking forward to playing the map.

[kind lava]

So there are more changes that haven't been said yet?👀

[proper wedge]

This is just a guess, and a sincere hope, but could the Summer 2025 Reserve be Yellowstone National Park?

[dreamy portal]

I have noticed something new in a trailer!

In the one for the new German map

When shooting clays

They have extended barrel chokes

[hushed topaz]

That actually brings a solid question

Are chokes gonna be added to the game?

[dreamy portal]

It would make sense

With the range and stuff

Like

That’s 100% some chokes

[hushed topaz]

I hope they aren't only on that new shotgun and are actually something we can customize

[dreamy goblet]

Would be really cool ngl.

also, ngl, With this new map / shotgun focus thing, I for sure hope they get a update in terms of ya know, buckshot and stuff XD

[dreamy portal]

Buckshot sucks

[dreamy goblet]

I always loved Buckshot in THC, but in CoTW it just does, yea..

[stray basalt]

Wild that buckshot can hardly kill a raccoon for some reason

[dreamy goblet]

It is yea..

And even if it does kill a deer or smth.

You dont even get full score.

Because of "no vitals hit"

[hushed topaz]

The spread is so weird and I'm always worried I'll hit the skull or something magically

[dreamy goblet]

Yea..

I mean, if you think back to THC. Buckshot was one of the best ammo types you could use ngl.

Shotguns are my favourite class of weapon there.

But in CoTW they are just meh..

[hushed topaz]

I hunt a lot of birds so I'm always using birdshot. Never bother with slugs or buckshot but the slugs are...meh. Couldn't punch through to a moose's heart with the 12ga from 30 meters away

[dreamy portal]

Full choke birdshot should be 1-2 imo

I’ve seen people kill hogs with it

[dreamy goblet]

Deffinetly, yea.

[plucky forge]

Any new about those new great ones

??

[dreamy goblet]

Well, its a Fox and Pheasant great one.

Thats whats been confirmed as far as I know.

[long jay]

I wonder what kinda badge the fox will have with it being a small game predator

[dreamy goblet]

We will see.

But tbh.

Small Game great ones are kinda awesome imo.

[long jay]

I mean it brings a lot of potential to the game as much as I’m against the pheasant maybe with them doing these two species it’ll start a process of having great ones for every species

[acoustic sparrow]

This coming updates and DLCs will be awesome since I’m currently planning to fill Spring Creek Manor with animals that can be found in New Hampshire, Finland, Germany, Spain, and New Zealand. I really like Spring Creek better than Saseka Safari, but that’s just me. I do wish they release a new lodge next year though. I’m also planning on adding golds in addition to diamonds and rares to make the lodge itself look more believable and I’m super happy to keep golds which are definitely better than most things I bag (just my opinion though).

[shadow prism]

Pheasants a fox are very unexpected GOs the grinds are gonna be a struggle but I hope they look amazing I really wanna pheasant

[split otter]

Seems very very likely release notes will provide more context on full extent of reasons for a small game exclusive map.

That said, wonder why didn't add squirrels back in?

Or maybe they have returned as shootable but not harvestable

[shadow prism]

What you talking about?

Squirrels haven’t been in it

[fierce bay]

are bigger species than fox on salzwiesen park? or would that be to much information

[plucky forge]

Is there any new photos od them?

Of*

[night scaffold]

Is it official that we will have ONLY small game? Or is Roe and Boar also a possibility?

[proper wedge]

I'm hoping the smaller Salzweisen Park map will make grinding simpler

How many Red Fox zones could there be? Not as many as New England Mountains, for sure

[minor shadow]

So What are the Animal List on The new “Salzweisen Park” Reserve?!

[fierce bay]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1308520482991247431

listed basicly confirmed and speculative species there

[minor shadow]

Thank you

[vital blaze]

I need to see the G1 Fox so I can hype myself up even more (I already started finding drink zones on emerald Coast)

[proper wedge]

Not sure, but from what I've heard all the zones you we have now for that species will be reset when they load in the new G1

[dim saffron]

Yeah

They get a remodel

[vital blaze]

I'm just finding the best lakes

[dim saffron]

So all your animal population of that specie gets reset

[vital blaze]

I've taken that into consideration

I'm trying to find any high level/rares

[proper wedge]

Most likely the best lakes will still be the best lakes

[vital blaze]

I found a luc kangaroo

[vital blaze]

Yup

Anyway

There's 13 days left and 9 different fur types...

What if we were to see 1 fur every other day 👉👈

And pheasant the next day

[minor shadow]

….Hmmm…. Ok so I’ve been speculating on what next Year’s DLC Reserves could be…. NOW I could be wrong BUT I have a feeling next year. We could be beginning these guys…what do yall think?!

[vital blaze]

To keep the hype train rolling

[minor shadow]

Again all Just Speculation so nothing hundred percent confirmed at all and don’t take it as fact, but what do you all think?

[vital blaze]

Well that did say there listening to the community more than ever 👀

[wraith gale]

Arctic and who knows for the other one.

[wraith gale]

That would mean Africa 2.0 lol it’s the most upvoted thing

[minor shadow]

Yeah…. I have a feeling it might be Amazon or Pantanal we could definitely use some more tropical areas

[vital blaze]

Yup

[wraith gale]

They are listening for most of the things tho

[wraith gale]

Doubt it honestly that would be a lot of new things. I thought they were doing smaller maps or lesser maps like nem in between

[vital blaze]

Elephants are coming to the game 100%

Every YouTuber is asking for them

[wraith gale]

I would love a I can’t spell camon 😭 the Amazon croc

[dim saffron]

No

[wraith gale]

They will become of ultimate hunting

[vital blaze]

Why no

[wraith gale]

People will love it so they almost have too

[dim saffron]

Because it’s unrealistic as of yet

[wraith gale]

Not really

[vital blaze]

How

[dim saffron]

They would need to rework the classes, guns and lodges

[vital blaze]

Not really

[dim saffron]

you won’t be taking an elephant with the gandhare

Haha

[vital blaze]

Who said elephants have to be class 10

[dim saffron]

I think they should

[vital blaze]

It would be interesting (and thares already a class 10)

[stray basalt]

Why wouldn’t they be class 10?

[midnight moon]

Me doing the old brainshot with a .22 meme

[dim saffron]

No they are class 4

Level goes to 10 - Fabled

[midnight moon]

I will say I feel like fabled shouldn’t be numbered

[vital blaze]

What?????

[stray basalt]

You genuinely think bison and elephants should be in the same class?

Explain. What logic is this based in?

[vital blaze]

Somewhat agree

[hushed topaz]

Elephants being class 10 would make sense. Drastically larger than any current class 9 animals

[stray basalt]

It’s the only thing that makes sense lol

[hushed topaz]

Class 10, probably going up to level 5 - medium if I had to guess

[stray basalt]

9 more like

Look at Cape buffalo

[night trench]

If we ever get anything bigger then class 9, it will be hippos or rhinos

[hushed topaz]

Fair enough

[night trench]

Elephants would be a crazy amount of work

[hushed topaz]

• to Liam

[night trench]

New plaques, new lodges, new guns, new class, new behavior

[hushed topaz]

Elephants would be an insane amount of work but I think the community would love it

I'm sure EW would do it but it'll be a fat while before it happens

[minor shadow]

Ehhh Who Knows maybe they will Surprise us….also I think I heard them say that for next years Reserves while they didn’t go into too much Specifics they did say “1 is South of the North Pole, While the Other is North Of The South Pole”

[night trench]

They would start working on it now and it would be ready in like 2026

[vital blaze]

EW rn 😏

I wonder what thare all doing rn

Y'all think thare all shooting the clay disc's

[molten mortar]

i think it's like 7 am over there, so at least a couple are still asleep

[stray basalt]

Elephants are more of a “when” question

Not a “if” thing

[stray basalt]

Elephants aren’t THATTTT big. The could literally fit on our largest head plaques.

[night trench]

They can’t.

Water buffalo take up a entire xxl plaque, and elephants are 4x bigger

[stray basalt]

They definitely can

[proper wedge]

That's the spirit, Liam!

[stray basalt]

If moose and rm elk can elephants most assuredly can.

[night trench]

No…

Comparing a moose to a elephant is just criminal

[steep zinc]

What is your thought process behind this?

[proper wedge]

They need a giant lodge like in Prehistoric Hunt...

[steep zinc]

They are like 15ft tall and many times larger

[steep zinc]

Would be nice

[wraith gale]

When did they say that?

[molten mortar]

wow very specific

[steep zinc]

I dont think they did

[wraith gale]

Neither do I lol

[minor shadow]

I think during the Q&A yesterday

[steep zinc]

They dont rlly leak that kind of info til 3-4 weeks of release

[night trench]

Moose are about 7 foot in length, shoulder to tail, african bush elephants are usually 20 feet from should to tail, not including the head

[stray basalt]

Elephant heads are only 6ft wide….

[wraith gale]

I’ll look homie but you might be schizo

😭

[stray basalt]

We are talking about walk mounts right now

[proper wedge]

BTW, these lodges are very cool - you have a huge empty room and you can place any size platform anywhere it will fit, and slide them around to make it look nice

[steep zinc]

Ok? This is CoTW we are talking about they make the animals in this game way larger than irl

Generally

[minor shadow]

I don’t think so but

https://tenor.com/view/welcome-youre-welcome-shrug-shrug-shoulders-idk-gif-8265423508888887174

[night trench]

Walking mounts?

[steep zinc]

Lol

[wraith gale]

You read it very wrong

Even though it has snow, I think it is safe to say that one is south of the North Pole, and the other is north of the South Pole ❄️ [Kim, Game Director]

They didn’t confirm anything

😂

[minor shadow]

That is it! But again, it’s all speculation on my end so

[steep zinc]

Every map is south of the north pole and north of the south pole

Tbf

[wraith gale]

Exactly lol

It was just a funny thing to say

[night trench]

Not my fault he misspelled wall mount

[wraith gale]

No

[minor shadow]

I’m also just going by what the Community is requesting

[wraith gale]

I was talking about the north South Pole thing

[night trench]

What is a walk mount?

[steep zinc]

The devs dont seem to be listening all the greatest tbf

[stray basalt]

Not even close but alrighty

[stray basalt]

Wall

[wraith gale]

Brother read what I just said I wasn’t talking to you. WTH

[stray basalt]

Context

[steep zinc]

When have you seen a whitetail score 275 irl or a moose be like 300+ or the water buffalo or thr cape buffalo

They oversize the animals in this game

They make none of them true to life

[night trench]

It has gotten better tho

[steep zinc]

For the most part

[wraith gale]

Mostly but it’s a game who cares

[steep zinc]

🤷

Ik but elephants wouldnt work at all in saseka

All im tryna say

[night trench]

Buffalo do get as big as the small dime rack, but its exceptional

[wraith gale]

I am ready for ultimate hunting hopefully they do Africa right and the game isn’t jank. Then I wouldn’t be as mad if they don’t add the big 5 to a map

[steep zinc]

Is that on a ranch or in the wild

[wraith gale]

Probably ranch but who knows

I feel like a lion would love that big boy

[night trench]

Probably ranch

[stray basalt]

Autocorrect, little one

[steep zinc]

Elephants heads would clip into the support beams in a part of the lodge

[night trench]

Little one?

[steep zinc]

The first big floor mount

The only elephants i could see working are those dwarf ones

[wraith gale]

@stray basalt you made the 14 year old mad

Oh no

[stray basalt]

…Gulp

[steep zinc]

Yall are crazy bruh

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/modern-family-spray-squirt-annoyed-irritated-gif-11864636400230753109

[night trench]

Oh no now i am gonna get angry

[steep zinc]

Im scared

[stray basalt]

Anyways

[steep zinc]

I cant use gif😢

[night trench]

I clicked it in time

I regret

[steep zinc]

lol

[night trench]

These ducks are all females i think

Males have a distinctive white eye

[steep zinc]

The devs make me mad

Why tf we gonna add all kind of ducks to other maps

But not Mississippi

The map that should be duck haven

[night trench]

We need wood ducks

[steep zinc]

Its literally the delta

The duck capital of the country

[stray basalt]

Jaxy better be the warden for this non descript reserve

[stray basalt]

Ehhh

Dakotas

[steep zinc]

Nah

[stray basalt]

Or Fayetteville

[steep zinc]

You havent ever seen Venice LA

[pine lily]

I'd argue the flyway around the Colorado/Wyoming/ and Nebraska is even thicker

[dreamy goblet]

Jesus, the people here are more divided on this map than I thought.

Im just happy to have a new European map and a new small-game map.

[pine lily]

or rather it was before avian flu wrecked the populations about 4 years ago and urban development destroyed a bunch of wetland

[steep zinc]

Its divided for every map

[dreamy goblet]

True too.

[hushed topaz]

We need Jaxy as a warden at some point it'd make me so happy

[steep zinc]

Either way of all the North American maps we have Mississippi is duck haven

[dreamy goblet]

hell yea.

[pine lily]

when I was 16 the sky would literally be blackened out with mallards, black ducks, wigeon, teal, etc.

and canadian, snow, and white-fronted geese

[stray basalt]

Give him a Inuit cohost and I’m sold

[pine lily]

hundreds of thousands of the things

now the flood plains are under a bunch of crackerbox houses and there aint a third as many as there used to be

[limber cliff]

I like that..
everyone wants (or hates) the idea of another NA map
But give any location a second map and it's not NA and heads will roll

[pine lily]

if we get a Canadian reserve he should be warden

[hushed topaz]

I'd be fine with another NA map but I don't actively want one

[steep zinc]

I live in the delta and the lakes near here is pure blacked out with any duck species possible, merganser, pintail, teal, spoonies, mallard, gadwall, widgeon

[pine lily]

even thought itd most likely be like, the arctic

and iirc hes from BC

[steep zinc]

Its heaven

[pine lily]

but itd be cool

[hushed topaz]

Praying the next reserve is a Canadian artic one

[night trench]

We still gotta wait 7 months😔

[dreamy goblet]

I gotta be honest, a new central european map is still really cool imo, especially one that focuses on small-medium game. Cause I'd assume Fallows and Roe Deer may also be on it most likely.

[steep zinc]

Mhm

[dreamy goblet]

O yea, pull out that C19 and do some Rangers stuff I guess while we're up there, XD

[stray basalt]

Give him the mountainous part of the map🤞

Then a second, Inuit warden for the coastal part.

[hushed topaz]

Perfect

[dreamy goblet]

Right sooo. What have we got confirmed species wise for Salzwiesen so far.

[iron drum]

carpicle or however you spell it.

fox

[fierce bay]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1308520482991247431 listet all and some speculation here

[dreamy goblet]

Ah nice.

Thanks^^

[iron drum]

Oh, it may have been a grouse i saw in the trailer

[night trench]

Yall think the creators will get early acces?

To the germany map?

[limber cliff]

probably

[iron drum]

Probably

[night trench]

Its still a crazy surprise

Still gotta wait 13 days😞

[iron drum]

Its a pleasent one. I did not think they were releasing a map this quarter

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, it is going to be Bird / Varmint Haven ngl.

Maybe it'll dethrone Revontuli as my favourite reserve.

[iron drum]

I liked the flatness of the trailer

[stray basalt]

I feel like the best part of the map is the shotgun and range…

And I like birding

[dreamy goblet]

Yea.

[iron drum]

Not as long as it could have been

[dreamy goblet]

I mean, Bird / Small Game hunting just has such a huge part in European hunting Culture.

[stray basalt]

I’m afraid if it’s over 4$ I won’t buy

[dreamy goblet]

We will see.

[iron drum]

map will defintly be more than 4

[dreamy goblet]

Propably.

[iron drum]

probably 9.99

[stray basalt]

Not even….

[dreamy goblet]

I just hope that the new Shotgun has some better iron sights.

[iron drum]

Ill defintly be picking up all the packs

[iron drum]

11.99?

[dreamy goblet]

Cause if im honest, besides the 12GA O/U the others are a bit meh.

[stray basalt]

All it needs is a bead

Which the current one has.

[dreamy goblet]

Yes.

I just personally prefer slimmer beads I guess.

Like the 12GA O/U, compared to smth like the 10GA Semi Auto.

[tough veldt]

new map will have class 1 or 2, not over class 3 I guess.

[kind lava]

In this fragment of Layton Lake District from the Weapon Pack trailer, you can hear an unknown goose. Is it trying to tell us something?

[stray basalt]

Placeholder most like.

[vale grotto]

We would of been told if there was a backfill tbh. So as liam said probably a place holder

[kind lava]

at what point did he say that?

[stray basalt]

Literally not even a minute after you said that….

[kind lava]

ah

[tacit hamlet]

That’s what I’m hoping for. They definitely look nicer but it could be nothing

[kind lava]

so there might be a backfill that they didn't announce?

[stray basalt]

Probably not.

[kind lava]

😔

[vale grotto]

We probably won't. I dont see geese fitting on Layton

[iron drum]

how is the .375 going to be any different compared to the current .375?

[orchid saffron]

Hope they don't drink salt water on that map too 🤞

[kind lava]

So what would that sound be?

[iron drum]

placeholder. Just to be there. Idk

[languid wedge]

Current .375?...

[jade thicket]

yeah i thought the same 🤔

[languid wedge]

We only have the 338 and 300

[iron drum]

oh crap. I mixed them up.

[iron drum]

Isnt that the Germany map?

not layton

[stray basalt]

We don’t have a .375 yet

???

[dreamy goblet]

I think hes mistaken the .357

[stray basalt]

Ohh

[dreamy goblet]

Doesnt look like Layton to me tbh.

[dreamy goblet]

Even then... .375 and .357 are a huge difference.

[iron drum]

Nah, i misremembered the .338

[dreamy goblet]

Ahhh.

Fair enough.

[dreamy goblet]

With those dead trees its probs the Salzwiesen map.

[iron drum]

it was just off the top of my head. And its been a few weeks since I played. And I dont use the 338

[stray basalt]

About that different

(Not my photos)

[dreamy goblet]

Neither do I tbh, Im much more of a small game hunter anyways, lol.

[iron drum]

Honestly, I am a medium more often, so I use the 308 and 243.

[dreamy goblet]

Hell yeah.

[iron drum]

And when I do big game I use the 300

[kind lava]

is the new map

[dreamy goblet]

Yea.

The dead trees in the background give it away.

Its also wayyy too flat for Layton.

[iron drum]

Yeah

[kind lava]

I know, it's the new map

[dreamy goblet]

Mhm.

[iron drum]

It looks super pretty imo compared to hirsch

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, Hirschfelden is one of the best looking maps, but hey, maybe this'll also dethrone it.

I mean, as a dedicated small game map itll probs be my new fav.

[kind lava]

I only posted the photo of the gadwall, at no time did I intend to say that it is in Layton, hahaha

[kind lava]

and mine

[dreamy goblet]

Fair enough XD

In my oppinion, small game hunting is just more fun.

[kind lava]

And in my opinion too, I am passionate about it and I am looking forward to trying out the new mechanics of the birds and the new dog.

[dreamy goblet]

And maybe we'll also get a new fav shotgun with the O/U 10GA

I mean, the 12GA O/U has pretty much been my go to shotgun cause it has the nicest bead sight imo.

With it just being slim compared to the others.

[iron drum]

I'm excited for the wetlands

[dreamy goblet]

Hell yea.

Its gonna be a hard choice between the 10GA O/U and the 20GA S/S

[gray plume]

I honestly hope they keep this idea of having a smaller more specialized winter release reserve, with a larger more main game focused reserve for the summer

[dreamy goblet]

Would be kinda cool, yea.

Sure some people dont like it, but I feel like it gives them more breathing room to make the maps the best they can be.

[gray plume]

This really opens up a lot of possibilities for areas that aren’t really big enough or don’t have enough animals for a full reserve, that can maybe have a smaller one

And yah I agree , a good chunk of people probably won’t like this new reserve, but I really do hope they continue to try this experiment

[lone forge]

I do to

I would just have made some other species on the map

Like gray partridge, mute swan, common crane and common eiders would also fit great

[gray plume]

Yah, they could have really added a lot more species, but it was probably just a side project a couple of developers worked on so they probably didn’t have enough time/resources sadly

Would have loved to see some more small game species but beggars can’t be choosers

[dreamy goblet]

Dont forget those bastard cormorants.

[lone forge]

Yeah those too

[dreamy goblet]

(I hate them)

[lone forge]

I personally would have preferred that over a new dog or a weapon pack but it's okay

[lone forge]

I love em

[gaunt storm]

Does anyone know anyone IRL who makes and sells Over and Under Shotguns in 10 Gauge?

[wind stone]

None on bass pro but there’s a 28 gauge if you want it

[lucid parcel]

What are all the species coming to the new map?

[stray basalt]

We don’t know

[lucid parcel]

Im hoping for 8, cause its smaller it should have a lower price

[lone forge]

Some goose
Gadwall
Ferruginous duck
Ring necked pheasant
Racoon
Racoon dog
Fox
European rabbit
Black grouse that's as much as we know, there's gonna be 15 in total

[wind stone]

I thought there was gonna be 10

Or is it 10 birds

[dreamy goblet]

They are cool, yes, but as a fisherman (especially if you do it as a full time job) you learn to hate em.

They just dive down to your nets and eat the fish out of there.

And those bastards can dive REALLY deep.

[dreamy goblet]

10 Birds, 5 Mammals apparently.

[wind stone]

Ok

[lone forge]

Yeah I only do that as a Hobby

[wind stone]

Red Fox, Raccoon Dog, Racoon, European Rabbit

Ideas of other stuff?

[dreamy goblet]

European Hare maybe?

[wind stone]

Or mountain hair

Hate

Hare

[regal ferry]

I'm geussing roe deer?

Actually, would love roe deer as that means they would get a rework

[dreamy goblet]

Would fit well.

[regal ferry]

Ah, but the news only says updated models for fox, rabbit and Cinnamon teal, so I geuss not

[wind stone]

Roe deer would fit but I think it’s another small game species

[regal ferry]

Roe deer are almost small game compared to most things in game

[wind stone]

Did they say two new birds or two new species?

[regal ferry]

And it probably isn't hare because they def need a rework as well

[queen grotto]

I doubt anyone is making one now, only 10 gauge I know of is made by browning. I think they still make a pump and auto. The autoloader they make is what the 10 gauge is auto in the game is based on.

[lone forge]

I think 2 species

Badgers would be fire

[regal ferry]

Would love badgers

But what could be the 5th mammal for the map if its not a new species? 🤔

[stray basalt]

Hmmm

Probably wild yak

[lone forge]

@wind stone

[wind stone]

So there’s a chance new mammal

[lone forge]

I could imagine European hare to be likely

[lone forge]

Very slim tho

[jade thicket]

badgers would be cool

[regal ferry]

But have you seen their models

[lone forge]

If yes I think badgers or martens would make the most sense

[lone forge]

True

[stray basalt]

European rabbits are already being added though?

[lone forge]

They would get a remodel

[wind stone]

Different species

[lone forge]

Different mechanics but still yeah

[regal ferry]

They def would need remodel, more so even than rabbits

[stray basalt]

Why have two rabbits on one map?

That’s ridiculous

Is my point

[lone forge]

They look quit different to be fair

[regal ferry]

Like they are so bad compared to how nice the mountain hare is

[lone forge]

Also when I was in the state where the map is said this summer I saw a bunch of euro hares

[regal ferry]

Because its a map specifically focused on small game

[lone forge]

Ok if it isn't hare and if it isn't a new species what could it be

[wind stone]

Only option would be Mountain Hare because I’m not seeing European hare in Germanys inaturalist page

[gloomy holly]

I really feel like they shouldve added roe deer to salzwiesen

[regal ferry]

They have shittons of European hare, but no mountain hare

[lone forge]

They are found they're but are only in very high mountains in the south

That's like adding snowshoe hare to Mississippi

[dreamy goblet]

That reminds of my favourite Fire Service call there...."Marten in Marmelade Glas" ahhh, interesting creatures.

[wind stone]

Nvm the brown hare and European hare is the same thing

[lone forge]

I think so too but on the other. Hand they can kinda make a different map layout if it's completely small game focused

[wind stone]

So only two class 1 species options currently in the game would be Mountain Hare, and European Hare

[regal ferry]

Also, roe deer need a rework as well if they add them

[lone forge]

But finding an old mammal 2-2 that fits and wouldn't need a remodel is really hard

[lone forge]

Mountain hare wouldn't fit at all

[wind stone]

Exactly

[regal ferry]

Only thing I can think that gets close is Muntjak, but I don't think they have them out there

[wind stone]

But it’s the only two currently in the game

[lone forge]

It specifically says that this map is in Schleswig Holstein so basically Denmark

[lone forge]

Yeah

[dreamy goblet]

Pretty sure we dont have those in germany 😭

[regal ferry]

Then again, it's also outside the range of Ferrongous duck I've seen online

[lone forge]

So o think a new mammal isn't unlikely

[lone forge]

You have

[lone forge]

No not really

[dreamy goblet]

We do?

[stray basalt]

Starts with a R and ends with a eer

[fierce bay]

Sika deer and roe deer would be the most fitting ...

[wind stone]

Dang it why didn’t anyone ask this in dev q and a

[regal ferry]

is it not?

[dreamy goblet]

Ah, apparently only in schleswig holstein so far though...so fair enough. as a Bavarian I didnt know that.

[lone forge]

They're not like super hard in Schleswig Holstein but still present in the general area and in similar terain

[regal ferry]

Yeah, this is what I found so slightly farther east

[lone forge]

Yeah they live in the alps

Yeah

But close enough

They live close to the coast

Mountain hares are high up in the mountains in the extreme south

[regal ferry]

Oh absolutely, but I mean more that they might pull another species closer as well

Like, I def won't complain about the Ferrongous duck

[molten cliff]

We do not have muntjak

[dreamy goblet]

In my oppinion the most likely candidates so far for the 5th Mammal are the Euro Hare and the Roe Deer.

[regal ferry]

Didn't know they existed before the livestream, but still

[regal ferry]

But the model is so bad 🥲

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, I feel like a lot of the small game stuff will be sooo much nicer to hunt on this map.

[lone forge]

European hare
Coypu
European badger
Muskrat
Pine marten
Stone marten
Stoat
Mink
Polecat
Eurasian otter

Those are a list of anything that's remotely small game mammal that we don't have 4 sure yet

[regal ferry]

The only worse rabbit is the scrub hare

[dreamy goblet]

At least it isnt on the "OG TH Classic Turkey" level of terrible.

God that gives me PTSD.

[lone forge]

May be lynx to but super unlikely

[regal ferry]

oh god, why do you have to remind me of this

[molten cliff]

What are you taking Abt

[lone forge]

European hare is unrealistic to because of they're model and that there's already a lagomorph on map

[molten cliff]

Yall*

[dreamy goblet]

HAHA!

[molten cliff]

5th Mammal?

[lone forge]

So I think European badger is actually fairly realistic of those

[dreamy goblet]

In case you forgot what it looked like XD

[lone forge]

There's one mammal more we don't know yet

[molten cliff]

But it’s a Animal we have in the Game ?

[lone forge]

We dont know

[regal ferry]

Hmm, acording to this paper I found there are reeve's muntjak in Denmark

[lone forge]

They said 2 new birds

[lone forge]

Super unlikely I'd say

[regal ferry]

But thats a different species then in game

[molten cliff]

Yeah

[regal ferry]

Wouldn't hate it though

[dreamy goblet]

Deffo not, still feel like Roe Deer / Sika Deer or Euro Hare are more likely.

[fierce bay]

#🦡︴cotw-scotland message unfourtunly there arent new animals besides the ducks

[regal ferry]

Then I can't think of any option which wouldn't need a remodel 😅

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, they may get a remodel if added to the map XD

[lone forge]

Damn

[regal ferry]

The dev post states only the fox, rabbit and cinnamon teal are getting the remodel

[dreamy goblet]

Well, but there is "always more to be shown" ;)

[lone forge]

Roe deer have to bad of a model id say

[hollow tundra]

roe deer maybe?

[regal ferry]

Actually, that might be wrong because the pheasants also look updated in the trailer

[lone forge]

Euro Hare to

[dreamy goblet]

Its all a question of whats most likely.

[orchid saffron]

What species do we know Will be on?

[dreamy goblet]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1308520482991247431

[fierce bay]

im speculating they dont listed every remodel to not spoil some of the species on the map

[regal ferry]

I'm unsure, as they have mentioned all the other stuff

[dreamy goblet]

Bassicaly Confirmed :
Black grouse
Raccoon dog
Raccoon
Pheasant
Rabbit
Ferruginous Duck
Gadwall
Red fox
Greylag goose

[regal ferry]

Let me look at the pheasants in the trailer again

[lone forge]

Could be

[lone forge]

They're was a hen

[orchid saffron]

Isn't there is 🐗?

[regal ferry]

Yep, and it looks the same

[hushed topaz]

Pheasants not getting an updated model is...weird

[rough tree]

both the roe deer and wild boar need a remodel so badly omg

[long spade]

Lookin at this, ain't roe deer horns too small?

[rough tree]

The anters for roe deer in-game are a bit weird overall, in shape and size

[stray basalt]

Yeah, way too short and stubby

[long spade]

They seem to be really short in all the sizes. They need to be long an spindly.

[rough tree]

(first one isn't mine, just one i grabbed online)

(second ones obv arent mine either lol)

[long spade]

World record roe buck? I wish THIS was our diamond

[regal ferry]

You know, I'm looking at all the rabbit models and the European rabbit looks so much worse than I remembered

It's a good thing they are getting a remodel

[night trench]

Thats a great one roe deer

[dreamy goblet]

For sure a great one tbh.

I mean, its a WORLD RECORD for a reason.

Bucks like that are a 1 in a Million

[night trench]

More

Like way more

I would say about 1 in like 10 million

[dreamy goblet]

Fair enough.

[night trench]

It needs some kind of mutation for that to happen i feel like

[dreamy goblet]

I mean, some of the Diamond racks are already a 1 in a million IRL tbh XD

[night trench]

Yeah

[night trench]

They shed their antlers yearly, so that grew in a few months

Which is just insane

[dreamy goblet]

Deffinetly.

[kind lava]

Is there any known price for the DLCs?

[stray basalt]

Possibly

[proper wedge]

The new Gopi 10 gauge O/U shotgun has chokes, visible here. Do you think the other shotguns in game will be customizable to accept chokes, or just the new one?

[long spade]

I really hope so

[long spade]

I wonder if roe deer would benefit from the kind of food plots some folks plant for whitetail in the US?

[rough tree]

I'd imagine so, a constant, nutritious food source is huge for both antler growth and overwintering, I imagine that would be applicable to most deer

[digital quartz]

Or future GO perhaps?

[gloomy holly]

okay so what exactly are chokes

[scarlet bluff]

helps control the spread of the pellets

[proper wedge]

Basically a plug that screws into the end of the barrel to squeeze down the pellets. Full choke, modified choke, etc. give different amounts of tapering. There are tradeoffs, so you don't leave them in all the time.

[gloomy holly]

so for a more concentrated spread?

[gloomy holly]

ohh I see

[scarlet bluff]

yeah basically

but there’s also some i believe that can make the spread less concentrated

not too sure though

[proper wedge]

Yes, concentrated for high up geese, but less so for pheasant or quail. Take your Full Choke out before you run a slug through it!

[gloomy holly]

I have a feeling the barrel would explode if a slug tried passing through a choke

[proper wedge]

Exactly. See Daffy Duck, Looney Tunes for reference

[stray basalt]

Slug technology has increased

Still wouldn’t do it though, really messes things up

[proper wedge]

For rabbits and pheasant, I use a modified choke. No choke will give you the greatest spread but shortest range.

[long spade]

Nope, cylinder chokes are fine, even Mod. Cylinder chokes will allow a slug to pass through. You'll see barrel damage and failure with something like a full choke or extra full

[stray basalt]

It really just depends on the ammo tbh

And the manufacturer

[proper wedge]

This will be on the test...

[woven harbor]

Trail cams

[stray basalt]

No purpose

And not really possible

[long spade]

Also depends on how the ammo is designed, a sabot slug is best from a rifled barrel. It works from a smooth barrel but it'll fall way short of it's usual range and effect

[long spade]

Maybe but. . . Salt block.

Pop it down the same as a decoy and you have a bait for deer

[rough tree]

bait would be neat, especially since it's a thing in Classic iirc

[digital quartz]

Ooh, good diagram

[warm nexus]

Baiting is extremely illegal in most of the US, fyi. Not that it matters in a game, but they've not done things that are illegal in other regions for that reason.

[rough tree]

Depends on the state and the target species iirc

[warm nexus]

It's federally illegal for waterfowl, for sure.

It's probably legal for things like invasive wild hog.

[long spade]

Hunting over a bait pile is illegal, setting out a salt block in summer to get deer in front of a camera is legal, rain and time breaks the block down into a mineral patch that's legal to hunt over as it's not a legitimate food source as much as an attractant

Omg really?

I mentioned the ***of an animal and it gets blocked?

Anyway, bear baiting is legal and encouraged so the hunter can be sure he's taking a legal animal regarding male or female and age

[dreamy goblet]

NGL, I just hope the 10GA O/U has a nice small bead...

Similar to the 12GA O/U

[dreamy goblet]

That is the reason why the only animals you could really bait for in THC are Bears and Pigs I assume.

[rough tree]

i think you can bait for feral goats too

[dreamy goblet]

Oh yeah true.

Feral Goats also were / are baitable.

Mineral Blocks I believe it was for them.

Honestly..

I gotta get back into THC.

I spent so much time and money in that game.

(Still one of if not THE best simulators for hunting imo.

[proper wedge]

I have an Ithaca Featherlight 12 gauge that has the coolest fluorescent orange front sight - really picks up the light when a rabbit runs out!

[dreamy goblet]

Ooooh.

Honestly, I just feel like all the front sights / beads on every shotgun besides the 12GA O/U are just...wayyyy too large.

For me atleast.

I mean,

It just covers up the entire bird / rabbit if your shooting em.

Kinda makes duck shooting uh, interesting

[proper wedge]

Yes, you're right - same with the center dot on the new reticle and a 300m deer

[dreamy goblet]

Now that you all reminded me of THC....

The weapon I'd love to see brought over the most.

is the Single Shot shotgun.

That gun.

Just brings back sooo many memories.

(I.e. Viable Shotgun hunting)

[stray basalt]

Personally, it’s a tie between the O/U 9.3 and .405 Winchester.

[dreamy goblet]

I'd love to see the Drilling done right in COTW cause it was my Favourite weapon in THC. 😭

[stray basalt]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1248545588702871592

[dreamy goblet]

I mean, atleast the pop up sights on the Drilling actually worked in THC compared to COTW

[stray basalt]

Those would’ve been great

[dreamy goblet]

I mean, you literally only have the rear sights on the Drilling in COTW

[stray basalt]

Aren’t they supposed to be functional? I cannot remember.

the rear post in particular

[dreamy goblet]

Rear sights still cover the bead..

You know..

I dont think sights work like that.

Shotgun mode still looks good.

But as soon as you select the 9.3x74R cartridge

it just covers your sight.

[rough tree]

Yeah, you have to aim with the very bottom of the notch in the rear sight, which is really just not ideal

[dreamy goblet]

Yea..

[night adder]

Who on Xbox

[dreamy goblet]

I mean

[rough tree]

It can be done ofc but it doesn't feel good

[dreamy goblet]

Its not like we've been begging for that to be changed since it released tbh.

[night adder]

Yo

Who on X box

[dreamy goblet]

Head to #🦌︴find-a-game

[rough tree]

you beat me to it lmao

I was trying to type it out but I kept making typos lol

I keep talking about this everywhere (in and out of this server) but I'm excited for the .375

• big game cartridge
• the cool bolt action reload
• really nice wooden stock

plus I can engage in the fantasy of using a proper dangerous game cartridge that isn't kinda gimmicky (looking at you .470 NE)

we just need a dedicated dangerous game scope now lol

[vivid cosmos]

they actually said that the Fox was the Dark Souls of GOs in the winter video lol

[rough tree]

^shoutout to Huxley for showing me this one in the "Weapons Talk" thread

[proper wedge]

So any guesses on the in-game weight of the .375? I'm hoping it's not 5kg like the .338.

[rough tree]

I'm not sure. It doesn't look as bulky so I'd hope it's not 5

[proper wedge]

4.5 would be okay, but I'd like 4

[stray basalt]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say 3.5/4

But it doesn’t really matter to me because I only carry two guns at a time (+ a side arm depending on the map)

[rough tree]

If it turns out to be 5 I can at least make it work, I carry the Tsurugi around a lot and i've made it fit in my loadouts with no problems

[proper wedge]

I take everything I could possibly use on a map, even if I'm grinding. Weapons covering 1-9, scopes, binos, doggie treats, pepperoni stick for me, coffee, callers, extra socks - you know, the necessities.

[torn comet]

i really like the tsurugi i just dont like how plastic it looks

[rough tree]

I wish it sounded better and could use wooden stocks

[stray basalt]

I only choose one species I want to hunt at a time, hence 1-2 weapons

[stray basalt]

What is there to like about the tsurgi?

[long spade]

Weapon weights need a real change, the Eckers is still 4.5. Heavier than the M1 grand and the new .308/7mm both

[long spade]

It was the earliest possible 7-9 rifle in a new playthrough

[stray basalt]

9.3

Plus bird - slugs

[proper wedge]

And that's how I shot my first dime capercaillie with the 300

[prime grotto]

What do we think about the 450 being 4-7?

[stray basalt]

I can use it on Black bears and whitetail

[long spade]

Arbitrary at best, 3-7 would have been more suitable

[stray basalt]

That’s all that really matters tbh

[rough tree]

^

3-7 would put it in competition with the Mosin-Nagant, while 4-7 makes it instantly less interesting than any 4-8 rifle

[plucky forge]

any new photos of those new great ones?

[stray basalt]

I wouldn’t really use .450BM on anything in class 8 now that elk are 7

[long spade]

. 300blk. 2-5/6

.450. 3-7 or 4-8

.375. Okay at 7-9 would have been cooler 6-9

[prime grotto]

Yeah cause I've seen 450 used on moose and am a little disappointed i can't hunt them with it

It's pretty effective at shorter ranges on them

[stray basalt]

That’s a big ol nope for me lol

[prime grotto]

How so

[stray basalt]

It’s just not enough, more power

[torn comet]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-more-power-power-power-up-spongebob-squarepants-gif-22777710

[long spade]

. 450 as 3-7 would be clubbing roe deer like a baby seal but at least the Mosin would have some reasonable competition

[prime grotto]

https://youtu.be/mBCurbTQ7Qc?si=FL9To56iLQcSalWK

Seems to work pretty well to me

[urban void]

Does anyone have a map for pheasants on Cuatro?

[stray basalt]

So… what I’m comfortable with shooting is what I’m comfortable with shooting.

That tells me jack

[rough tree]

I feel like when it comes to moose there's always someone who swears by a cartridge that's risky to use and isn't recommended by many people

can it do the job? sure. is there a reason why a lot of people settle for higher power? yeah

[prime grotto]

I'm not advocating for taking long range risky shots but with 100-150 it'll get the job done

[stray basalt]

.30-06 is probably the lowest I’d go personally.

Maybe .45-70 for eastern moose

[keen palm]

Locals up in Newfoundland use .270s on moose. They're considered to be kind of a paper tiger. Big animals but not terribly hard to put down. I personally used a .308 and a .300 on them.

[prime grotto]

Yeah if 308 is 4-8, 450 should be as well

[weak smelt]

I personally like having new calibres with different classes than 4-8

[rough tree]

yeah same, we already have a ton of 4-8 rifles

[weak smelt]

Also the 450 and .375 look beautiful

[stray basalt]

It covers all the essentials

currently

[rough tree]

100% yeah, I'm so excited for the .375

[weak smelt]

That's what the moradi is for

[rough tree]

i just hope that the sound it makes in the trailer is a placeholder bc .375 irl is pretty loud/"punchy" compared to that

[stray basalt]

Sometimes I don’t want to use the moradi

Sometimes I want to use .450BM

[weak smelt]

Still weird they showed it being used on elk in the trailer

[prime grotto]

Exactly

[weak smelt]

Move them back to class 8🙏

Honestly the whole class system needs a complete revamp

Make exceptions for some animals and calibers

Like .308 should be ethical for black grouse

[prime grotto]

I like the way woth does it where it's based off bullet energy

[weak smelt]

I really wanna see the patch notes for the update

Though i know they won't come out until the update releases

[long spade]

Is this based on a Mossberg Patriot? If so I think it has a fixed magazine

[prime grotto]

I've shot the patriot and it has a detachable box magazine

It sits flush

[delicate patio]

Do we know if I give my pointer the retriever perk from the expert dog thing then will it be able to swim?

[weak smelt]

Ok so they also came out with two new dlc bundles

Weapons and companions bundle

And Hunting Starter pack

Ok so the weapons and companions bundle is horrible

Modern rifle, high tech, high cal, weapon pack 2, and ambusher

And retriever

Only good things are the ambusher and WP 2

The rest are horrible

Hunting starter pack has SRP, Spring Creek Manor, and WP 1

Which is a pretty good bundle for $12

[cinder orchid]

The what? Have you considered that people have different playstyles than yours?

Terrible conclusion

Should have atleast said that it's your subjective opinion

[weak smelt]

High tech is useless apart from the bow sight, modern rifles is nothing but bad guns, and high cal only has the .300 which is really only good for grinding

[hollow tundra]

Scarlett Johansson?

[weak smelt]

There's plenty of better weapon packs they could've put in there

[gaunt sparrow]

i saw they added a map and dog what else

[weak smelt]

New weapon pack

[gaunt sparrow]

Nice

[weak smelt]

And a whole heap of nee stuff in patch notes that we won't know until the update releases

[proper wedge]

From they way they described the master dog, yes it seems like the bloodhound will swim!

[cinder orchid]

I agree with the High Texh pack

However-
Modern rifle pack is definitely not bad and has one of the best price to performance ratio, since it offers guns for classes 1-8

High Caliber WP also has the Stenberg Takedown, which is a great bow

Retriever is a lifesaver for waterfallow hunting, so I don't know where you're coming from here

For me, your message sounds like an actual 'rage bait', no offense

[weak smelt]

Retriever is good tho

High cal doesn't have the stenberg, ambusher does

And the modern rifles pack could be replaced by Hunter Power pack

[cinder orchid]

My bad

[cinder orchid]

Definitely it's an option

I personally don't really like hunting with the ARs but they are pretty good

Also the Power Hunting pack has the Olsson .308, which I didn't find particularly useful since the Malmer exists

[weak smelt]

Modern rifles is pretty useless if the whole thing about it is being semi auto

[weak smelt]

It's a great gun

I use it more than 7mm

[torn comet]

the olsson .308 is a beautiful gun

[cinder orchid]

Personal preference

[torn comet]

the olsson and the malmer are the rifles i use almost exclusively cus they look and reload great

[weak smelt]

7mm just has the ability to take down class 9s. Other than that they're pretty similar power wise

[torn comet]

and they are the most similar to my irl hunting experience with rifles, although i wish the eckers didnt have a magazine then itd be in that group aswell

[weak smelt]

Olsson also has wood grain stock so it instantly becomes better in my book

[cinder orchid]

We need wood grain as a gun skin option so badly

[plain cosmos]

I just use M1 if I am using 4-8 because of that sound🤤

[cinder orchid]

OG weapon

I come back to it once in a while

[weak smelt]

Real

Better than the zarza

[plain cosmos]

But usually I just use Greleck

[torn comet]

Wood stock > flimsy plastic Toys-r-us ARs any day of the week, dont care about efficiency

all about the immersion for me

[proper wedge]

Olsson .308 is 2nd down, with the Revontuli Claro Walnut

[cinder orchid]

I'm glad they atleast made the new .300 BLK as a bolt action rifle

The idea of a 300 BLK didn't sound that good at first, but after seeing it, it looks decent

I'm much more excited about the .375 though

I wonder how it's gonna compare to .300 Canning

[weak smelt]

Easily will become the new best 7-9 rifle assuming it doesn't have a crazy power drop off like .470

[proper wedge]

the trailer said the 300 BLK is the "fastest and most accurate"

[torn comet]

tried my best to replicate how my 6,5 looks, and yes i know there is a 6,5 in the game but it doesnt look like mine but the .308 looked most similar

[stray basalt]

When did the whole PRC cartridge craze start? Before or after 2020/whenever modern rifles pack released?

I can’t remember

[stark storm]

Do we know if there is going to be a content creator early access ?

[weak smelt]

Crazy how they released .308 in an AR before they did a bolt

[stray basalt]

Too much for my old brain to keep up with lol

[weak smelt]

Let alone put one into the base game...

[stray basalt]

Base game should have like 5 more rifles too

[cinder orchid]

We don't know yet, maybe it will kick like a horse

[torn comet]

if we know EW the .375 will be underwhelming but hey at least its a bolt rifle lol

[cinder orchid]

.338 ehm ehm

[weak smelt]

New decoys look good

[stray basalt]

I mean hopefully, .375H&H can hit steel 600+ yds

[weak smelt]

May be having a brainfart but what's the duck on the bottom?

[stray basalt]

Gadwall hen

I think

[weak smelt]

Ah

[cinder orchid]

Yeah it looks like so

[weak smelt]

New shotgun looks good

[stray basalt]

Because this is most certainly a gadwall drake

[weak smelt]

Would've liked something else

[cinder orchid]

It's a shotgun with birds in mind, I really hope it's gonna be good

[stray basalt]

Revolver

shotgun

[weak smelt]

I would've like something else than another 10ga

[cinder orchid]

I'd appreciate a new .22lr gun tbh

Been using the Virant for ages now

[weak smelt]

Only good 10ga is the miller

[stray basalt]

Still insane we don’t have a full size .410

[weak smelt]

Fr

Dinky little revolver

[cinder orchid]

Heh

Just two weeks and then we can get this lil squeaker

[torn comet]

would love this 410

[cinder orchid]

That stock looks amazing

[weak smelt]

Also the new red fox model doesn't look different at all

Looks the same to me

Though euro rabbit does look better

[cinder orchid]

It seems that they made the fur stretch into the back a bit more, it's also a bit longer on the red variant

Old vs New

[torn comet]

looks fluffier and more filled out

did some fur rework

[weak smelt]

Actually it looks pretty different with a closer look

[orchid linden]

@stray basalt I use the Savage 301 .410 with red dot for turkey hunting. It's a little thumper. Would love to see something like that added, as well as a 28 gauge.

[weak smelt]

Some white fur on the back leg and some black fur on the tail

[cinder orchid]

I really like the change because I always disliked how the red fur always looks so much smaller compared to orange

[weak smelt]

They have different fur lengths tbf

[cinder orchid]

They got that 'wild' look if you know what I mean

[cinder orchid]

Well yeah, but the red ones looked really, really small compared to other furs

[torn comet]

burrows plsss

[cinder orchid]

I wonder how they remade albinos and melanistic foxes

or if there's even anything different about them

[quaint lintel]

Red fox through the years went from skinny to fluffy to fluffier and I can imagine the GO is even fluffier lol

[proper wedge]

Fluffy red fox watching me shoot a grounded G1 pheasant...

[stray basalt]

Hmmm

Maybe there was some message hidden behind these hahahaha

[shadow prism]

U thinking possibility of all 3 being GOs?

[quaint lintel]

I thought it was for the new Fox Pro caller lol

[stray basalt]

No

[jovial jolt]

Possibly for fox pro or the red fox go

[long spade]

What are your thoughts on mini reserves dedicated to a handful of species?

[stray basalt]

Most likely Red Fox g1

I can’t see them teasing a foxpro collab

Unless they explicitly said otherwise

[orchid linden]

Depends on how well this one does, but we have reserves here in the States for pheasant hunting and stuff. Not really including exotics in that conversation because those ranches are gigantic.

[scarlet bluff]

i think i remember one of the community managers saying something about the fox GO being why they posted all those foxes

[wind stone]

Those were the hints

[scarlet bluff]

yeah

[wind stone]

Also just a heads up you need to kill the pair of foxes to get respawns

So get ready to get a lot of rare female foxes

[scarlet bluff]

yeah that's gonna suck

having to kill a pair and they move around

someone said they kind of pool up in certain areas on nem so i guess that's probably where i'll try to grind them unless they're really good on new map

[long spade]

Yeah, I kinda like the idea. I mean like half size maps, maybe quarter size, with maybe 3 larger animals and four or five small ones. Something like a typical farm

[orchid linden]

Hey, this map will be the best bet at grinding successfully for them, so I'll happily deal with that. Lol

[limpid dock]

I am fully down for that

Rare fox is rare fox and they can still be gold

[wind stone]

Also try and get as many diamond Whitetailed jack rabbits as possible for the multimount

Unless they make more multi’s for red foxes

[orchid linden]

I certainly don't hate the idea. It's almost like they're little getaways, good for grinding or just enjoying the hunt.

[limpid dock]

Jackrabbit grind 😂

[stray basalt]

A Florida map would be great for these half size maps👀👀

[limpid dock]

Okay you have a point there

[wind stone]

High fence ranch question mark???

[shadow prism]

So for pheasants do you need to wipe the groups for respawns?

[limpid dock]

Mini reserves would be a cool thing for ew to consider more of

[wind stone]

Maybe

I’ve seen a lot of solos though

[limpid dock]

No from my experience male pheasants respawn without flock wipong

Wiping

[wind stone]

But just get them with the .22

[shadow prism]

I’ll hm the fools then ig

[wind stone]

Pheasants might be one of the few upland birds you can feed zone hunt

And grind

[limpid dock]

.....good luck soldier

[orchid linden]

No, not necessarily. It's just the animal population that the reserve/park supports. FYI, I'm speaking reserve as in stuff like pheasant lodges here in the States. Great for pheasants, but also usually decent for deer, turkeys, some waterfowl, etc.

[long spade]

A Florida map with a GO turkey

[limpid dock]

Do y'all think the pheasants and fox will get pop resets when the map drops

[stray basalt]

NOW That’s a G1 I’d grind for.

Gobblerzilla

[orchid linden]

And Osceolas exclusives to the map!

[limpid dock]

Because I'm thinking if i hm my fox on EC now i can spare the pain later

[wind stone]

Only pheasant lodge around me is one they farm the pheasants like chickens and we shoot them

[wind stone]

They’ll do a pop reset

[limpid dock]

Rats XD

[long spade]

Thunder Chicken Swamp!

(NO)

[wind stone]

There’s a 75% chance they’ll do it

[orchid linden]

Yeah, a lot of those lodges are like that, or they buy those birds to release, but they're not high fence. The high fence ranches are big game exclusively.

[wind stone]

I know

[limpid dock]

Only pheasant lodge around me is some rich posh guys manor (welcome to England, huntings near impossible unless you're rich :/)

[wind stone]

But with the smaller map idea it opens up possibilities of high fence ranches

[orchid linden]

That is true. Not something I'd be a fan of unless it was exclusively exotics. I don't need to hunt high fence Texas whitetails.

[wind stone]

Yeah

[limpid dock]

We have enough whitetails for a lifetime

[wind stone]

Would be easier to grind though

[orchid linden]

But the mini maps might be a great way to introduce the UK to CotW.

[limpid dock]

Okay what area of the uk are we thinking

[wind stone]

For sure

[limpid dock]

Because if there was one

I say scottish highlands

that would be so cool i feel

[torn comet]

scottish highlands with the hills 😍

[wind stone]

Almost like Transylvania in Woth

[limpid dock]

And it wouldn't just be a hirsch repeat like say England would be

[wind stone]

I would like another Alaska map though

[orchid linden]

No clue, honestly. But I wouldn't mind the idea of driven pheasant hunts. Scottish Highlands would be cool too.

[torn comet]

UK reserve? football hooligan g1?

[limpid dock]

I'd like an alaska more near the arctic

[stray basalt]

just thought of this: KODIAK ISLAND

[wind stone]

For sure

[orchid linden]

Would be a great second Roosie map!

[limpid dock]

Football hooligan grinding time! Sets up tripod on stadium

[stray basalt]

And blacktail

[wind stone]

The one for ayo to make another map suggestion

[wind stone]

Sitka black tail

[limpid dock]

Aurora shores in woth did this really well i feel

[stray basalt]

I’d have to check if there’s one up already tbh

[stray basalt]

Meh

[wind stone]

I want a exclusively Exotic ranch

[stray basalt]

Like all of the classic Arctic animals you think of when thinking of the Arctic

[wind stone]

With big feral goats aswell

[wind stone]

This aswell

[stray basalt]

Can’t be hunted by non natives

[wind stone]

We are pretty sure we are getting one

[stray basalt]

In Alaska

[shadow prism]

This map just needs to be 1-2 give the small game lovers their map so they stop asking and that be that

[wind stone]

Here in Washington the natives can hunt seals

[orchid linden]

If we get an Arctic map, it would be nice if it was a bit seasonal like Yukon is, with some ice and open water, and add boats you can actually use.

[stray basalt]

Canada you can though

[stray basalt]

Southern portion of the map preferably

[midnight moon]

Yeah save the big releases for something good

[limpid dock]

I wouldn't mind class 3 on there either tbf

[stray basalt]

Then the coastal northern half fully frozen over.

[orchid linden]

Sure. Have one part shifting weather and the other part like Medved. Boats for looking for seal and walrus, snowmobiles for the rest of the area.

[shadow prism]

The small game people will say it medium game if we get literally one class 3 or 4 animal

[limpid dock]

I am a small game person

And i think class 3 would still fit in

[shadow prism]

Some I should say will

[limpid dock]

Yeah true

[wind stone]

The real question is if the map will be a little cheaper than the other ones

[limpid dock]

There's so many divides in this community in such stupid places

[shadow prism]

Prolly 8

[limpid dock]

i wish

[shadow prism]

Yeah

[midnight moon]

Have to be with the lack of quality

[limpid dock]

Lack of quality?

[wind stone]

Not lack of quality the size of the map

[shadow prism]

1/3 the size

[limpid dock]

Yeah

Quantity

[midnight moon]

Recycled assets

[limpid dock]

Not quality

[limpid dock]

New england was recycled

[midnight moon]

Lol real?

[limpid dock]

And that was full price

[torn comet]

it wont be expensive i think they even said that the price would reflect the content the reserve would yield

so

[wind stone]

This is a park not a reserve

[shadow prism]

The trees look a little too similar to hirsh trees

[shadow prism]

If not smaller

[midnight moon]

Old full price

[stray basalt]

Free?

[wind stone]

I want to get New England on pc

It’s understated

[weak smelt]

I'd rather just have more small game on all of the maps

[wind stone]

Under rated

Yeah

[shadow prism]

This

[wind stone]

I want both though

[shadow prism]

We need backfills

[stray basalt]

Under hated*

[limpid dock]

Backfilling seems to be a horrible crime or something at ew

When was the last backfill

[distant relic]

NOOF! My king!

[limpid dock]

HEY!

[shadow prism]

2 years ago minimum

[distant relic]

What is a backfill

[shadow prism]

If not longer

[stray basalt]

whenever NEM released

[wind stone]

I said it correct under rated

[shadow prism]

Animals on diff maps

[limpid dock]

Adding new species to old maps

[stray basalt]

That was the first and last time

[weak smelt]

So 2 years ago

[shadow prism]

So like coyotes going to srp

[midnight moon]

@agile mortar @shadow loom when is the TA tahr backfill?

[distant relic]

Ah ok ty

[wind stone]

Last time was rev

[limpid dock]

(seriously tho, where is it)

[stray basalt]

No?

The only time they ever backfilled species into a preexisting map was NEM.

[wind stone]

Nvm nem

[midnight moon]

I wanted to ask this in their questions thing. Too busy working

[wind stone]

No that was rev

Most recent was nem

[stray basalt]

Go look at the patch notes

[wind stone]

But that was because Green wing teal in Mississippi

[midnight moon]

No that's not true at all. Euro rabbits, lions, gemsbok, maybe one or two more

[wind stone]

There was the whole black tail fiasco with srp

[wind stone]

That’s false

[midnight moon]

What are you talking about?

[stray basalt]

Not officially stated or even described as a backfill

[weak smelt]

Euro rabbits were backfilled to te?

[midnight moon]

Oh those were new

[weak smelt]

Thought they came with the map when it released

[midnight moon]

Reveal message lol

[midnight moon]

They did. Added to Hirsch first

[stray basalt]

I’m not sure about gemsbok though

[midnight moon]

No they were new, not backfill

[stray basalt]

Ah

[midnight moon]

I mistaked backfill for new added species to existing maps

[brave temple]

Need

[midnight moon]

I'll ping them again tonight if I remember

[weak smelt]

Still, they just need to add more small game to all the maps when they first come out

[midnight moon]

No comment

[weak smelt]

Like NEM is missing a LOT of small game that it could've had

[wind stone]

Makes raccoons class 1 again plz
