[celest dragon]

Ok

[long spade]

Buckshot is just best not used tbh

[dusky wolf]

Even with birdshot I highly doubt something around that size is surviving a point blank blast from a 10 gauge

[paper locust]

Money just comes from hunting and doing missions. You can do that anywhere

[dusky wolf]

Yet that one raccoon did 💀

[quiet mantle]

Informality do you know anything about the g1 variant previews

When we wil get them

[paper locust]

Possibly monday but who knows

[dusky wolf]

Like if we don’t get raccoons at class 1 atleast remove the vital organ requirement because it’s soo annoying with something that small

[paper locust]

I mean the vital makes sense for class 2 really.

[dusky wolf]

Would be like requiring vitals on a stubble quail

[quiet mantle]

I hunt loads of goose here, i use birdshot

Works just fine

[paper locust]

Skip pen and use expa ammo - pretty much a guarantee

Unless you shoot things in the butt but then that's on you

[long spade]

They recently changed goose health so birdshot was more effective didn't they?

[dusky wolf]

Speaking of ammo

We need buffs for a lot of ammo ngl

[quiet mantle]

Would like to see more ammo types

Subsonic ammo

[dusky wolf]

Also I’d love to have a solid 1-3 class weapon with a good carry weight

[quiet mantle]

So that we can hunt longer ranges

Also supressors would be awesome

Just more gun customisation

[dusky wolf]

Speaking of carry weight

That new shotgun that got added in the last weapon dlc sucks ngl

[long spade]

.22 H or .22 mag, they both work better on roe and springboks than .223

[dim saffron]

I shot my Diamond in the lung

[celest dragon]

Is there A wild boar great one coming

[long spade]

Just my opinion but all the weapons need their class ranges expanded

[dusky wolf]

Yes

7mm would be the GOAT if it was able to go to class 1 but I know that’s never gonna happen

And a lot of animals need class changes to

Goats should be class 4 like the ibex given they’re the same size model wise

And I’m pretty sure they get to similar sizes

[long spade]

7mm shouldn't be class 9, could do class 3 tho, small bullet and all

[stiff hornet]

The only way that I’d want suppressers in this game would be if you were heavily punished for using them, range wise. Basically make it so you have next to no range whatsoever (150 or so meters before the bullet falls off) but it spooks animals less. Irl the main reason that people use suppressors is to protect their own hearing, not to stop animals from spooking, which is not something we need to worry about in game seeing as our characters ears aren’t being damaged by gunshots. Plus, with how short the render distance is, there’s really no reason for a suppressor.

[dusky wolf]

Blow guns would be interesting to see ingame

And baboons

Another air gun would actually be really nice

We have one and it’s abysmal

[vocal cypress]

Have any fur types been leaked for the G1 boar?

[stiff hornet]

No

[vocal cypress]

When do you see them releasing them

[long spade]

I have a suggestion.

Grey Wolf .30 caliber air rifle

[stiff hornet]

Either Monday or Release Day on Tuesday.

[vocal cypress]

Ok thx!

[dusky wolf]

Also I feel like a lot of those highly teased weapons in the past DLCs have just been completely forgotten

[dim saffron]

No

Axis should be 4

[dusk creek]

Doesnt it release on monday

[dusky wolf]

Do people still use the Houyi recurve bow??

[paper locust]

Tuesday... the 9th

[stiff hornet]

Both Goats and Axis should be class 4. Sika should be a class 3 unless EW changes their model.

[long spade]

The last few weapon packs have been kinda 1 good 2 eh its a gun sort of deals

[stiff hornet]

Pro XCK does

[dim saffron]

Da Curman In-line

[long spade]

Nice, now try a moose

[tired sparrow]

I think Vivi confirmed we’ll be specifying them in the patch notes at release

[dusk cove]

Is Scotland free

[paper locust]

Ooooh. Hi there

Andno

It won't be free

[dim saffron]

Ok

[paper locust]

$11.99 USD

[dusk cove]

Aw

[long spade]

Way of the Hunter's new map will be free

[dusky wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-stare-dissapproval-gif-5196871718622662114

[long spade]

But its supposed to be a small one iirc

[paper locust]

Hyped to see them

[tired sparrow]

I don’t think we have the concept art like usual

[dusky wolf]

Are the GO boar furs as bad as the mule deer or better

[long spade]

Interesting shot placement

[stiff hornet]

I shot a level 5 with the Curman and he basically dropped. 150 meter heart shot.

[dim saffron]

Purposely

Only way to bring it down fast

[long spade]

Heart shot works with anything, I used to use a .243 to do it

[stiff hornet]

I think “bad” is subjective tbh. I for one like the mule deer furs (aside from Petal Puff and Cinnamon Stripes)

[dim saffron]

Yeah but good luck on a broadside moose

And .243 was overpowered back in the days

Or moose were soft

[long spade]

Moose need a health change, like yeah they're tough irl but tbey aren't that tough. 6.5x55mm and .270 are favorite caliber for them irl and .30-30 was so effective it was the only ammunition sold by the Hudson Bay company for years

[teal grail]

All good we will take any info you guys want to talk about

excited for the stream

any chance for any 2026 plan reveals? im tuning in either way

[long spade]

Yeah that end of the year showcase was a great idea last time, it'd be nice to see it again

[vale grotto]

Boar aren't getting pop reset are they?

[jade thicket]

we dont think so maybe like wolves

[vale grotto]

K

[jade thicket]

but its not confirmed yet

so go hammer cuatro ready 🤣

[long spade]

Ham joke

Classy

[vale grotto]

I was thinking it but idk if I have the energy to go and shoot them down to then be told they are getting reset.

[whole thicket]

Best to wait till Mondays live stream tbh

[fringe basalt]

Do we have a price?

[long spade]

11.99$ usd

[jade thicket]

it will be in patch notes before then on monday

i will be busy playing then 😁

[limber cliff]

sup gucci gang

[agile cradle]

serious lack of thank yous in this place sometime

[agile cradle]

hello tyk have you seen the juice i pressed in off topic

[dusk sapphire]

Thanks for noticing, they put a lot of effort into not saying that .

[agile cradle]

bright pink apple juice

[agile cradle]

it happens alot more in here than you'd think lol

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/congrats-nice-happy-for-you-congrats-nice-happy-for-you-gif-1927193140186872022

[long spade]

I wonder if we'll see hogzilla references

[raven sigil]

I saw someone cheat on TikTok live in cotw i told him to turn off the cheats and he told me to stfu😭

[lone forge]

Have they said anything about sale on release?

[hollow tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/meep-meep-bird-meep-bird-poop-gif-14218360047959464677

[paper locust]

They can't but it's likely since that's a pretty standard procedure in the industry

[limber cliff]

no word that I have seen, but traditionally it's been like 10% (ish) off when launch

[paper locust]

Alberta was 15% off on launch

[limber cliff]

see thats where the ish comes in

😂

[shadow prism]

I guarantee ima grind for a roe deer get a dime after days on cuatro and immediately get one off Scotland

[lone forge]

Let's hope it will be again

[long spade]

Cuatro will be more interesting now I guesd

[pale coral]

how do you tubers come up with content outside of grinding

like they somehow record the perfect moment for a full length video abiut a super rare

[dusky wolf]

I don’t have a gif to react to this with

[paper locust]

Some just play and record. Some plan their hunts out knowing exactly what's on their map. Depends on the person

[hexed heath]

Has any creator gotten a g1

[paper locust]

I do a little bit of both

[dusky wolf]

Speaking of GO I’m hoping I can get a GO pheasant on salz

I remember being told to shoot 0-1 kg and 1 kg males for respawns to work

[pale coral]

yeah but if they always record, how are they just talking to the camera the whole time like they know it’s gonna be a video

[paper locust]

Again depends on the person. Some talk while they play knowing the recording is going and others do voice over after editing

Some a mix of both

[pale coral]

oh cause i’m trying to do the same

and not just have videos towards grinding

[paper locust]

How you set up your process is entirely up to you

[dusky wolf]

Stuff just happens sometimes

[paper locust]

Do what feels natural and go from there

[dusky wolf]

Reminds me

Is HM and grinding one in the same or is it two different things

[radiant wren]

I’m gonna blow your mind for a sec.
-# some of them know it’s going to be there, for one reason or another. That’s how they know to start recording

[pale coral]

hmm a little sus

[radiant wren]

Two different things but often grinding comes with hm

[dusky wolf]

Ah

[radiant wren]

You can grind without hm and do hm without grinding though

[dusky wolf]

So HM is more casual than grinding

[paper locust]

Depends on intensity.

[hexed heath]

Less

[paper locust]

I'm doing a very soft HM with my wolves - more so I can get them outta crappy areas than anything

[radiant wren]

A little. Sometimes. Possibly. lol
Other times it could be something good they just found naturally on their map and made a video about. But… yes. Content creators are incentivized to… do that

[paper locust]

But you can also do aggressive HM which is NOT casual by any means

[pale coral]

ahh ok

[radiant wren]

My casual friends would say otherwise

But I suppose that depends what you mean by aggressive HM. My definition is just… leaving those small ones real real small lol

[dusky wolf]

Cus rn I’m just shooting male pheasants from 0-1 kg to 1 kg all over salz regardless of area or solo zones

[dim saffron]

I did aggressive hm and played casually

And got my wolf

Casually being grinding for like 1-2h a day

[radiant wren]

Yeah you don’t have to jump around constantly and manage things
You can just casually hunt n make things small/big in the right areas too

[dusky wolf]

I don’t have tents set up I just run around til I find something

[dim saffron]

In the like 4-6 I play daily

[radiant wren]

Ye with pheasant you don’t really need HM iirc

Dime rate can be solid anyway

[paper locust]

I'm basing my scale off all the discussions here. Spending hours shifting all the things and "forcing" weights up and down is how I see aggressive

[radiant wren]

If you’re just after a g1 it’s no matter there too

[radiant wren]

Ah. Gotcha. Yeah. That’s just hm in general lol

[dim saffron]

I didn’t shift anything

I let the game choose which zones were best

[paper locust]

Like that's all they do for days until its exactly what they want lol

[dusky wolf]

Does Keeping the higher weight estimate pheasants alive influence spawns?

[dim saffron]

And exteriors made themselves exteriors

[paper locust]

While I"m popping in my wolves for like an hour every few days

[radiant wren]

That works until those zones aren’t actually best zones/you don’t have obvious “best zones” 🥺I had to work with my pigs to move em so they’d stay put in the right levels haha

[dim saffron]

Yeah

More likely to get tinier spawns if you got a lot of high estimates

[dusky wolf]

I’ve got always 3 big pheasants in the 2-3 kg range that are all lvl 2s

The rest are 1-2 kg pheasants

[radiant wren]

Yeah that’s why HM is entirely optional. It doesn’t really affect g1 grinds so poppin wolves no matter the level def works ! But for diamonds and high levels, or otherwise hm, you always do a little something to lower populations in certain areas while increasing higher pops in other zones

Just depends how low you bring the littluns down to consider it “aggressive” HM

But a g1 grind while poppin everything works a treat 😎

[dusky wolf]

Salz is probably the only map I’d consider doing HM given you can run across it in a couple of minutes

[paper locust]

Me picking on most of my male wolves while I shift them around lol

[radiant wren]

Have you had anything good yet off the grind? 👀👀

[dim saffron]

Me?

[paper locust]

I can't wait to get a better gun for them. The .270 does alright

[radiant wren]

Anyone but I was asking informality hahahaa

Share da trophs

[radiant wren]

Oh girl I hear you. The 270 is alright but def lacks if you don’t place a good shot on em

[dim saffron]

And 23 diamonds

[radiant wren]

Noice. Scar puppy

[paper locust]

Nothing shiny yet. I've left my potential diamonds be for now cause I'm attempting to stack them and with my areas all being 2-3 packs at a time.... deadzone risk is an issue

[radiant wren]

Bahahahha nice

[dim saffron]

And a red brown

[paper locust]

Best shiny I've had was my lil egg white girl

[radiant wren]

Ya needs da tripawds

Egg white is excellent aw

[paper locust]

pain in the butt shot lol

[dusky wolf]

And how do I get bigger pheasants to respawn??

if leaving the multiple higher estimate ones ends up with smaller respawns

[paper locust]

That requires me not being lazy and carrying them out there 😂

But I actually need to shift my focus to the north drinking zones for a while. I've got like 12 packs along those little ponds and need to find shooting lanes for them

[quiet mantle]

Very nice got my first super rare today!!

[dusky wolf]

I’m really hoping I get either the fabled citrine or sapphire for the pheasants those are my two favorite fur types

[quiet mantle]

Ohhh nicee

I might hunt pheasants irl soon

But its so expensiveeee

[dusky wolf]

Also how long does it take for respawns to happen like how many Ingame days

[quiet mantle]

1 day

Jst rotate and sleep

[dusky wolf]

Also I wonder if there was dialogue if you got a GO pheasant for the side mission on salz

[viscid jolt]

Oh NICE ONE!!

[remote stone]

I see content creators are already getting access to and playing and posting Scotland

Does anyone want to see that even, just spoiling oneself

[lone forge]

A lot of people do

And now I have seen 2 videos but that is enough

I wanna explore myself

[remote stone]

Why, are you not planning on buying it yourself

Yeah exactly

[proper wedge]

Just walkin and stalkin the fields of Hirsch, been too long, got some Roe, Boar, and Geese!

Little orange Roe Deer are really nice looking

[lone forge]

No i just want more exploration for my selve

But I just couldn't keep my interest down

[long spade]

Orange is not a deer color, or a coyote color

[agile cradle]

still, looks orange enough to me

[proper wedge]

Haha, okay I had to check, it's common for roe in the game, but yeah Orange seems unreal

[long spade]

Citrus deer sound like a Willy Wonka inspired animal

[glacial flame]

They actual ARE this colour during summer irl, it’s gorgeous

Tho we normally say fox red as a colour, not orange lol

[dim saffron]

I hope their behaviour changed and they are less dumb since the update

[glacial flame]

Lil buck I saw ages ago

The colour of summer roe is just 🖤

[paper locust]

Not me thinking for a second this is an in game shot

[glacial flame]

lol 😂

[paper locust]

Those new models are just too good

[glacial flame]

They’re top tier

[dim saffron]

With that power line

[glacial flame]

Aha yeah unfortunately he was in a terrible spot for photos, but I tend to snap records of whatever I see when out- it’s led to interesting future comparisons of the same animals before

[dusky wolf]

So for pheasants on salz

After i shoot all the 0-1 kg and 1kg males do i shoot the 1-2 kg respawns??

[long spade]

What do you guys think of the new shotgun?

[dim saffron]

It’s sticky

Stocky*

[dusky wolf]

Idk what gauge it is and how many rounds it got so I can’t say anything about it

[dim saffron]

3

[long spade]

12ga, 3 shells

[dusky wolf]

Cacciatore still the goat then

Does the new shotgun weigh less?? Cus the cacciatore is 4. I think

[long spade]

How is it different from the Nordin?

[dusky wolf]

Nordin’s a 20 gauge

But other than that no difference

We have better shotgun choices already

[long spade]

All the shotguns are 3.5 except the over/under
Birdshot is class 1 in all of them

[jade thicket]

the problem is its 3 shot...so when bird hunting for eg...the extra shots make a difference

[dusky wolf]

Yeah

[jade thicket]

it could be 2 birds vs 5

i get why its how semi auto shotties are

[dusky wolf]

Just feels like they’ve just been adding redundant weapons lately

[long spade]

A lot of redundant weapons

[uneven bloom]

I'm ngl, I'd rather the new maps come with their cosmetic packs included in place of a weapon atp

[dusky wolf]

There might be just like one weapon in a pack that’s absolutely goated and the rest are inferior versions of better ones currently

[jade thicket]

its a good thing to have weapon options tbh

[long spade]

Have a question you might not have thought to check

Does the new gun unlock the birdshot and slugs for new players? Like level 1 fresh start

[jade thicket]

some will like it some wont thats the whole point. having various weapons makes it better on the whole

[jade thicket]

dunno

[long spade]

Eh not a big deal im just curious

[dim saffron]

Id always choose new animal models, new animals behaviours/animations and/or New species or maps before any new gun

[dusky wolf]

The giddings shotgun is abysmal dude

I thought it would have became a new meta shotgun but it sucks and even for a shotgun it’s super inaccurate

[paper locust]

I agree with this actually. Id rather see the weapons be DLCs of their own in logical sets for different purposes

[jade thicket]

gotta remember its a team so one thing might not effect the other

[neat viper]

Hello guys
Does something today rare they spawn in new map

[jade thicket]

different people working on different things

[dim saffron]

Yeah I know

[shadow prism]

That’s kinda how irl is to a degree though you have you big 3-4 then some very similar less popular ones

[long spade]

You'd think a reserve weapon would have some kind of draw to it though

[vivid cosmos]

has any content creator gotten a boar yet?

GO

[jade thicket]

not yet unless they not shown it

[verbal peak]

The draw is that it’s a 12 ga semi auto

Sadly only has 3 shots

[jade thicket]

people will be grinding it though

[long spade]

Nordin, Strandberg

[jade thicket]

i use the 1897 myself

[dim saffron]

Why did Kendall get early access and not you

[vivid cosmos]

I was wondering the same thing

[scarlet bluff]

def not a common color but it does happen

[long spade]

I've never seen an orange coyote in my life, but darker ones are super common

[vivid cosmos]

orange is definitely a Deer color, Whitetail and mule deer and red deer

[long spade]

This guy in particular has a color pallete I see alot

[long spade]

Pale brown yes, orange now

[vivid cosmos]

this is a better mule deer example

[dim saffron]

Marsh deer are orange

[vivid cosmos]

pale brown is orange

pale orange

[dim saffron]

No like orange

[agile cradle]

orange is neon brown

[vivid cosmos]

yah

[long spade]

Here's your roe deer

[vivid cosmos]

there are different shades of orange

...

[limber cliff]

My uncle shot one that was literal red fox red
he sent her pelt off to get it mounted - the taxidermist closed shop and took off with it

[dusk sapphire]

It's awfully quiet on the CC front.

[agile cradle]

orange is essentially a shade of brown this is a silly hill to die upon

[limber cliff]

is it an actual argument being had? 😭

[agile cradle]

not an argument but it would appear neither sides changing their mind lol

[vivid cosmos]

Nah I agree with that, but I just arrived

[agile cradle]

its jus iv been gone about 20 mins and theres still discussion of orange or not orange

[limber cliff]

...huuh.

Well.

[dim saffron]

Flinter is hunting and some of the others are grinding and the others are doing videos that last 1h30

Which is too long

[vivid cosmos]

I don't have the time this week to see any stream

[long spade]

I have seen red ones and they're gorgeous, sorry about your uncle getting scammed

[dusk sapphire]

We need them to work on their priorities.
We need content. 😭

[long spade]

Like this kind of red orang id be fine with

[dim saffron]

The Ethiopian Wolf

The rarest canid in the world

[long spade]

Looks a billion times better than creamsicle wiley

[limber cliff]

Dude he was so mad. The taxidermist was gonna do a dual mount - her and the male he nabbed at the same time, offered for 800$ (this was back in like... 98) - and my uncle was like 'THATS A DEAL, YES!'

[long spade]

I set up a goose spot on Hirsch and missed an albino goose

[long spade]

That sucks

[agile cradle]

me when i find the taxidermist who steals my fox pelt

[dusky wolf]

This looks photo shopped

[long spade]

Could be, Google is stupid sometimes

[lapis narwhal]

Do we think they are gonna keep the g1 boars variations a surprise I feel like they would’ve revealed them by now

[uneven bloom]

I find that they haven't outright confirmed it's boar to be 🤔

rn it's more like everyone's got a solid assumption that it's boar

[thorn jacinth]

There’s no way people are still debating over this

[dim saffron]

Clearly badger g1

[thorn jacinth]

It’s clearly the beaver

[uneven bloom]

I'm a skeptic until it's outright announced.

[agile cradle]

idk... heres a clearer look at this one it definitely looks like a G1 model..

[thorn jacinth]

Some content creators also said it’s the boar but yeah

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dim saffron]

Some content creators thought the new great one was reindeer

[thorn jacinth]

Their speculations were before they had access to the map and before the g1 reveal video

[dim saffron]

True

[long spade]

That'd be a wild misdirection

[uneven bloom]

Some content creators treat their unproven theories as fact as well 🤷‍♀️

[thorn jacinth]

I find it a little weird that people still think it’s not the boar

[uneven bloom]

I'm not saying it isn't boar, I'm just saying that they still might pull a fast one on us

[agile cradle]

cough KC Planet cough

[thorn jacinth]

Doubt they would do that

[dim saffron]

« Hm is cheating… L’le ban anyone that says otherwise »

Same guy later started using hm

[uneven bloom]

✨you never know✨

[thorn jacinth]

I don’t think they are that insane to troll us

[lapis narwhal]

Great one woodcock trust

[agile cradle]

im almost certain theyv done the bait and switch before

[uneven bloom]

plus, after the whole GO mulie thing...a bit of misdirection might be for the better, honestly?

[lapis narwhal]

Maybe, but I feel like in that teaser it was definitely a g1 model

[thorn jacinth]

It was def not

It looked very normal

[dim saffron]

I don’t know and it looked pretty normal

[lapis narwhal]

The color was normal but the fluff and size

[thorn jacinth]

This is a normal one as well

[uneven bloom]

keep in mind that boar just got a remodel too

[long spade]

Have they confirmed there is only one GO?

[lapis narwhal]

I think

[agile cradle]

you guys are blind i enhanced the video for u and u still cant see that its not a normal fur smh.... heres the screenshot from the enhanced vid

[scarlet bluff]

i think one of the devs confirmed it was boar

[agile cradle]

clearly a G1

[uneven bloom]

If it's not stated here, treat it as hearsay

[lapis narwhal]

You are right that is 100000 percent g1

[agile cradle]

thank you, someone who sees sense

[uneven bloom]

iirc the only dev I saw talking about the G1 here only popped in to say there's no concept art this time around

[limber cliff]

Vivi said that, yesterday iirc

[long spade]

Still makes me a little curious tho,

[uneven bloom]

any mention of it has also left out clearly stating what animal it is

[scarlet bluff]

someone asked when the boar furs were getting released and one of the devs said they'll be specifying them in patch notes

[thorn jacinth]

If we got trolled and it’s the roe deer I’ll be disappointed

[long spade]

I pray for audio options to SILENCE all waterfowl

When is that QOL update EW?

When?

[quiet mantle]

Look at lady legends diamond

Exactly the same

[shadow prism]

Finally

Now I need a mouflon and hare then I’m done with another map

[gaunt oyster]

Does anyone know if red deer are getting reset

[hexed fractal]

whats everyones opinion on the boar being the new g1 😭

[gaunt oyster]

Aweful

[agile cradle]

you've not even seen it lmaooo

[long spade]

He was hoping for eggs and got bacon

[agile cradle]

i wanted anything else myself, wouldnt call boar awful tho its jus a G1

its the exact same as the other like 4 G1s i dont wanna hunt

i jus wont hunt em

[long spade]

Honestly couldn't care less for Great ones

[agile cradle]

i'd like one but i'd prefer SR

[thorn jacinth]

Why are we even talking about a wild boar g1 when the beaver is the new g1

[agile cradle]

who urinated in ur cornflakes this morning?

[quiet mantle]

Its sarcasm

[remote stone]

Yes i understand

[quiet mantle]

Ni need to be so agressive

[gaunt oyster]

Is red deer getting reset

[quiet mantle]

No

[agile cradle]

only urs

[quiet mantle]

Ye

[thorn jacinth]

The beaver population will

For the new great one

[long spade]

Violent weasel noises

[agile cradle]

now everybody weasel, weasel rock you

tough crowd

[long spade]

Your Irish humor eludes us

[agile cradle]

i am scottish😭🙏

[lone forge]

Everybody weasel untill ferret

[gaunt oyster]

What’s the feelings on the new map??

[long spade]

New sika map, yay

[lone forge]

Very positive, great species selection and very open looks fun to hunt although I sorrow the absence of pink footed goose and red legged patridge

[agile cradle]

im still confused why the village people were performing at the world cup draw

[long spade]

Thought I told you about tbat Irish humor

[gaunt oyster]

Ya I wish it had more big game it reminds me of te awaroa

[agile cradle]

you can wish all you want but they literally added the biggest game we have in scotland lmfao

[radiant wren]

Gonna be so much better than TA from the looks of it 🥹🔥

[pine lily]

we gotta travel back in time 230,000 years to an interglacial

shoot mammoths

[verbal peak]

People were asking for highland cows 😂

[agile cradle]

scottish mammoths? so mammoths wae knives? thats more dangerous than just a mammoth

[verbal peak]

Clutching at straws to say the least

[agile cradle]

lmfao i seen that, the closest to wild cattle we have is free roaming highland cows that are still owned and therefore cant be hunted

they're used as free landscaping and invasive control lol

[verbal peak]

Who would even want to shoot one lmao

[lone forge]

It has lots of big game

[agile cradle]

to be fair in terms of food, their meat is amazing, but they're made for farming theres absolutely no fight or flight in them so hunting them is the worlds most pointless thought it'd be so boring

[fierce bay]

Any G1 news ?

[thorn jacinth]

I think grinding wise it’s going to be worse

Species wise and looks wise it’s way better

no doubt on that

[spark pine]

nothing besides what’s in #📢︴game-news

[lone forge]

Idk if the grinding will be bad beccause it seems like there's not much water and the water there is does seem fairly open

[long spade]

Don't act like an Ice Age map would be lame. Id pay a small fortune for it

[midnight valve]

Tbh no highland cow farmer I know lets them truly free range on the fell there very expensive, belted galloways and angus etc? sure.

[pine lily]

im not saying itd be lame what lmao

[midnight valve]

Highland cows have like a 30% mark-up for just being a highland cow unironically the country has warmed up signifantly with the slight jet stream changes over the year so there's even little need for them in the highlands.

Most other breeds do just as well and yield better

[thorn jacinth]

Actually u might be right

We will see

[lone forge]

Oh the Galloway cow, they keep them up on the Oberland of Helgoland. Beautiful creatures although they have no fear of the cliffs

The firemen actually need to save the sheep and cows very often when they get stuck on cliffs

[remote stone]

In you guyses opinion what is the best way to actually play this game. The most fun way? I have been too focused in this mechanical way of mapping and shooting animals recently, which is fun in itself, but I need to get back to the basics.

In preparation for Scotland

[uneven bloom]

walking around the maps and hunting things as you see them is the more relaxing way to play imo

[agile cradle]

true, but even then its only free range to a degree, theres still a boundary somewhere whether its natural or a fence

[dim saffron]

Valid

Exploring is fun as hell

[ocean mortar]

I think with this map just walking around will be great

[lone forge]

Just running and tuning freely and fun

[ocean mortar]

Some maps are better or worse to just walk around on imo and this map looks like a golden opportunity for it I cant wait

[uneven bloom]

now that I know aggro wolves are not nearly as scary as my anxiety was telling me, Yukon's a very nice map to just walk around on

so is Cuatro

[remote stone]

Same, moory landscape with grassy fields

[ocean mortar]

You just gotta walk away for a second and turn around and charge n they leave fr

[remote stone]

Gonna listen to withering heightd while playing this

[agile cradle]

the song or the audiobook

[dim saffron]

When grizzly were freaking aggro, I was scared as hell

[remote stone]

Both, but meant the audiobook

[dim saffron]

Back in the days

[remote stone]

I have played 90% of my time on Yukon and have never been aggrod by a grizzlie

[ocean mortar]

I feel bears dont get aggressive as often as I think they should lmao

[agile cradle]

thank god i was scared you were crazy enough to listen to the song on repeat

[dim saffron]

You need to get 30 m from one

[remote stone]

To high vibrations for the Scottish moors

[ocean mortar]

So theyre like moose

[uneven bloom]

any bear will aggro if startled/struck at a close-enough range

[remote stone]

Been 30m from plenty, never happened to me

Maybe one time but I think it died before it came

So maybe thats why I can't recall

[ocean mortar]

Love medved and used to grind bears bc i still want a mela, I dont think I ever got one to go aggro

Which is wild

[dim saffron]

I never had a brown bear go aggro

Had blacks and grizz

[ocean mortar]

Maybe theyre just chill

I mean they do be running from lynx

[uneven bloom]

I've had them aggro once or twice

[ocean mortar]

Ive had a couple black bears aggro tho

[dim saffron]

I had more wild boars and peccaries aggro than bears

[ocean mortar]

Same, ive had moose aggro a bit more

But theyre really easy to when you sneak up on them

[remote stone]

Looking forward to aggro badgers

I know they got more balls than grizzlies

[ocean mortar]

I wonder if it'll be like boars where they just all jump you or like Bison where one comes out to protect the rest sorta thing

[dim saffron]

Grizzly can’t see

[ocean mortar]

Prolly like boars, which is terrifying

[dim saffron]

Pretty hard to attack when you have tiny eyes

[ocean mortar]

True

[marble quartz]

hey guys

do you guys like my picture

[dim saffron]

It’s alright

[ocean mortar]

6/10 for unoriginality but an extra point for it being normal and not thrown through Ai or sum

[agile cradle]

cant believe the new G1 is scottish wildcat

[ocean mortar]

Thought it was mallard

[raven sigil]

Best way to grind boar will be feeders?

[ocean mortar]

Mel had a good setup w feeders but idk, they seem pretty easy since theyre only in one area of the map

[agile cradle]

mallard isn't a scottish wildcat silly!

[ocean mortar]

Yuh huh

[agile cradle]

your name makes me want a cheese and onion toastie

[ocean mortar]

A what

Im looking ts up

[agile cradle]

i think americans call it grilled cheese

[pine lily]

goated

[ocean mortar]

Nah that looks better than a grilled cheese

[agile cradle]

hmmmm goats cheese and cheddar toastie

dont grilled cheeses typically use those like kraft singles

[ocean mortar]

Do not insult me

I may be American but im not uncultured

[agile cradle]

sometimes you need a kraft single just to feel something

[ocean mortar]

My bf works at a bakery so when I make a grilled cheese I'm generally using actual bread and I buy blocks of cheese usually (Cheddar, sometimes havarti)

I dont like the American cheese but people do go crazy for it

[agile cradle]

if we have more singles than burgers i just eat sad sandwiches with kraft singles after the burgers r done

[ocean mortar]

Lmao

Idk if I've even had them

[agile cradle]

they're horrendous when not on a burger

[ocean mortar]

Ohhh I did once

[agile cradle]

you know that sick taste that hersheys has

well alot of american chocolate actually tastes like sick

butyric acid in it

[ocean mortar]

I wouldn't know about good chocolate

[agile cradle]

anyway the kraft singles taste like that too

[ocean mortar]

I tried one once at a friend's house and I threw it at him and then he grabbed one and gripped it all in my hair

[agile cradle]

lmfao

[ocean mortar]

Noted I have no idea how to find actual good chocolate

[spark pine]

cries in red grouse

[ocean mortar]

I like Hersheys so if thats bad then like.. I have no idea

[warped pebble]

did they just copy and paste the model of the red willow ptarmigan??

[scarlet bluff]

bout to get turned into an ery

[ocean mortar]

There is this other type of chocolate though
And i hate it

[agile cradle]

hersheys, as a person accustomed to european chocolate, is an absolute horror show

[spark pine]

from what i can tell, maybe some differences

[warped pebble]

I really hope there are differences and they werent just lazy with it lol

[ocean mortar]

What would be like the thing to get to get a good chocolate experience

[agile cradle]

reeses peanut butter cup chocolate is really good, which is odd bc im pretty sure hersheys owns reeses

[spark pine]

i’m wondering what the rares will be

[ocean mortar]

OH

[warped pebble]

lady legend already got 1 of the rares

[ocean mortar]

Reeses goated

[spark pine]

interesting

[warped pebble]

she got a leucistic female

[ocean mortar]

I like the new red deer kinda

Also ye hershy does own reeses

[radiant wren]

Iirc the big symphony bars and stuff used to be considered better quality than Hershey

[stiff hornet]

Red Grouse do have a different plumage type than this basic red plumage so you could actually get some variance

[radiant wren]

They’re Hershey but. Better

[stiff hornet]

For one of the plumages, there another called dark red that is different

[radiant wren]

If you want good chocolate though you just peruse your local small choc bar area and find the fancy ones

[spark pine]

i did see that, they look great

[red violet]

I gotta see the red deer for myself in game. They look a bit less majestic now imo.

[hollow tundra]

hershey owns a lot of stuff, its the candy monopoly

[spark pine]

i’ve got tons of 9s stacked, i’m excited to go take them down

[warped pebble]

thats true but I still hope the model itself isnt just a repainted willow ptarmigan

[stiff hornet]

They look more in line with a young red deer stag, or a stag in its summer coat. I wish the manes would be more present on higher level stags like 7s or 8s

[spark pine]

i saw i think flinter made a comment about that, if the higher level makes looked more bulky it would be very awesome

[red violet]

from what I've seen in his video, in his trophy lodge, the higher lvl reds didn't look any more bulky. But as I said, gotta see for myself. Just a couple more days

[radiant wren]

I guess the remodel is more accurate to how Scottish red deer look- supposedly they don’t get very impressive manes, or it’s rare for em. Been lookin into that cuz I agreed but it does fit, technically. It makes me hope they start making slightly “regional” or map specific differences for some species though. Red deer would really benefit from that

[ocean mortar]

Only thing I really have is the a little ice cream shop with the Bigfoot chocolate which is hella sweet and some are good but eh only for like 3 bites

The chocolates at the coast shops are good asl

[radiant wren]

Do y’all not have a chocolate aisle or area at any local stores?

Oh for sure chocolate at specialty shops slaps

[steep zinc]

No

[stiff hornet]

I mean it is, all 3 Ptarmigan species in game have the same model with slightly differing plumages, but the red grouse has multiple differences between them and the Willow Ptarmigan, including in plumage, weight, and the way they’re scored.

[radiant wren]

Thanks for your contribution

[ocean mortar]

They do lmao I dont get much often

[agile cradle]

green and blacks chocolate is really good but expensive

its a cadbury brand tho so idk how available that is in the states

[radiant wren]

That’s valid. I’d definitely recommend checking the aisle out sometime to see what they have
I usually get darker ones with 60% or more cacao. Look for smaller or “local” brands if you have any

[ocean mortar]

Doesn't matter lowkey im not buying anything out of the states bc of the new stuff 😭 I bought sum for like $25 wo knowing and had to pay like another 25

[ocean mortar]

Noted

[radiant wren]

I think I like Cadbury but their choc does lean kinda fake/sugary chocolate or hersheys esque
They don’t have the bitter taste tho so that’s a win lol

[ocean mortar]

I just be getting snickers n leaving

[radiant wren]

Snickers slap idc

[agile cradle]

regular cadbury uses a different recipe in the states to appeal to the hershey crowd

[radiant wren]

Probs but it still tastes diff enough so idc lol

[agile cradle]

green and blacks is their luxury stuff idek if they actually control them or just own em

[radiant wren]

It’s more sweet sugary

Less bitter vomit

[agile cradle]

hersheys cookies n cream is like

mid

[red violet]

there is just something missing with the new model, but I can't exactly put my finger on it ( Scottish red stag on the left btw.)

[ocean mortar]

I fw dark chocolate heavy

[steep zinc]

I dont recall ever having a snickers slap me

[agile cradle]

the hersheys other stuff? wack

[night trench]

Face is not tall enough and the lil neck flap

[ocean mortar]

Top of the neck is a bit thicker

[radiant wren]

It’s da neck

[ocean mortar]

Irl

[agile cradle]

maybe he just had a neck tuck dont judge

[ocean mortar]

In irl it comes down at the top of the shoulder in game is below

And yeah his like neck flap could meet the rest of the mane better but maybe it'll be different / potential to be bigger and meet better

[oblique flare]

The right looks like a stacked show dog with the collar up high lmao

Like this so that the neck flap is pulled away

Why would one stack a red deer I don’t know but I’d love to see it

[austere wigeon]

Dog

[ocean mortar]

Dog

[oblique flare]

A random doberman I found on google bc my late dog wasn’t stacked like that lmao

[ocean mortar]

My grandparents have Doberman and one couldnt be a show dog bc he had one of something he needed two of

[oblique flare]

Oof xD

[austere wigeon]

Oh 😭

[oblique flare]

One for two deal, sounds like they got scammed

[oblique flare]

I taught mine to stack free, I don’t like the look of a tight leash so I taught her to walk and stand off leash on command lmao

She standing bad in that but she was like 6mo and at her first show

[agile cradle]

god i love blueberry muffins

[red violet]

I just made the slightest adjustments. I think the model would benefit from a bit thicker neck and a snout that is not so narrow

[oblique flare]

Omg same they’re so good

[oblique flare]

Much better fr

[agile cradle]

i just had one and now i think im going to clear the other 3 bc they're so good

[austere wigeon]

Aw

[oblique flare]

So valid of you btw love your bio

[austere wigeon]

Especially since they old yellered the fur type

[night trench]

What red willow?

We have erythristic (bicolor) now

#🦌︴find-a-game

[eager patrol]

Oughh I love dobes so much I want one somedayyy

[lone forge]

What red willow, there was no red willow ever

[night trench]

Bro if nobody did there why would they here 😭

[lone forge]

Well you won't find anyone, go to search a game

[night trench]

Yeah bc we ain’t looking for a game lol

[midnight moon]

Yes

[midnight valve]

They do, dont get me wrong the old version of red deer was inaccurate for pretty much anywhere but almost every red deer in fall too winter has a mane.

[midnight moon]

No

[austere wigeon]

Just play the game by yourself

😭

[midnight moon]

Because microscam wants us to pay to play online

[midnight valve]

Its not like a 10" tahr mane they had before hand, but they've still got a distinct neck ruff 2-3" long, neck shouldnt be smooth by any means.

[midnight moon]

I already pay internet bills. Microsoft are fools

[lament vault]

Lmao

[midnight moon]

You'll never change anything if you stay complacent

[agile cradle]

G1 Woodcock confirmed

[ocean mortar]

Dude at 1:02 ! I thought it was fake fr

[lament vault]

Frfr

[tawdry juniper]

GOD even just this is so much better

[weak smelt]

Any new rares found by CCs?

[hollow tundra]

eurythrthic or whatever red deer that Mel found

[ocean mortar]

It was aight

Well its pretty -- just like in addition after all this time I dont care for it that much -- but it's still cool

[hollow tundra]

erythristic

thats how you spell it

😂

[hexed fractal]

How does it look

[ocean mortar]

Sorry took me a sec

[lone forge]

Lady found a leucistjc red grouse apparently

[hexed fractal]

It’s like a lighter brown

[hollow tundra]

kinda like this

[hexed fractal]

I kinda like it

[hollow tundra]

bro i cant stand her 💀 shes too loud

[hexed fractal]

Bro the lady hate is crazy

Just don’t watch her 😭

[lone forge]

That's why apparently, I hold to much on myself to go on open a video of her to search forbthta

I don't hate her but I do disapprove of certain things she has done in the past...

[hexed fractal]

I’ve never watched her so idk

[uneven bloom]

gonna ask that this gets dropped before it goes anywhere

[topaz charm]

chill gen chat just got mobbed for LL hate😭

[spark fable]

may be fix in time

[hollow tundra]

ma bad

[topaz charm]

ew ew ewwww!

[ocean mortar]

Its just an orange red deer

Like I said looks fine and a sr of one would look cool but its just such a late addition lmao

[red violet]

more erythristic animals! love that

if they ever remake the lion (pretty sure they gonna) I hope they add erythrism for them

[austere wigeon]

Damn gingers 💔

[agile cradle]

in this chat ur literally a ginger carrion, orange ass name

[sullen field]

are red deer getting new furs

Or racks

[topaz charm]

😭😭

facts

[jade thicket]

but im ginger.....

[radiant wren]

💔💔💔💔

Sad day for red heads

Y’all rise again on the 9th when the map comes out lol

[jade thicket]

not really...🤣 but some play on being talked about 😁

[outer geyser]

Anyone making a fur guide?

Is there going to be a guide for this map?

[jade thicket]

i will be making all sorts of guides what you want ?

[proper aurora]

Where's everyone gonna grind for boar?

[jade thicket]

cuatro mostly

[weak smelt]

Cuatro is really the only option

[proper aurora]

Same guys
Im finding my zones now

[outer geyser]

A rare fur guide? Im not sure if people make them anymore?

[jade thicket]

look at cuatro

[proper aurora]

Of course ron

[weak smelt]

They do

[jade thicket]

everywhere else will be a headache tbh

[weak smelt]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/17MZHyDo2N58YslkdNHTGnN9xdSazLfx7gP1zs6K4bg8/htmlview?pli=1#gid=320654175

[jade thicket]

hirsch does have lowest pop though of boar

so it could be good if you set it up hm well but to start off will be a nightmare

[proper aurora]

Could be tough on the thick river ron

[jade thicket]

yeah why i will be on cuatro

[radiant wren]

Jbiz has some vids in that realm, might check em out

[jade thicket]

give it a few days

they will be covered

too early yet

[proper wedge]

Just went walkin and stalkin Boar on Hirsch - can't wait for Tuesday 🐗

[earnest schooner]

No hate at all but I don’t like how unrealistic the fur colors of the great ones are it would be so much cooler if they were like true trophies instead of looking like a mythical creature

They still look cool ngl

[jade thicket]

some are based on real fur variations

but obviously its a game so you gotta have a bit of artistic license

i had a female wolfdog for eg it was exactly the colour of one of the great one wolves..😁

same as some of the racks are based off real life either monster trophys or weird non typical varients

[potent bane]

I mean they're supposed to be very ✨️extra✨️ hence why the 10 - FABLED

[sick musk]

Someone send a pic of the variation please

[earnest schooner]

Sounds right 😂

[potent bane]

I do like it when they make like some of the variations more realistic and some more wild and fun

Something for everyone

[little kelp]

I really wanna see the g1 boar furs

[shadow prism]

I do too but I almost hope the try to do another fox thing where they hide them and let the community find them but at the same time they’d most definitely get leaked

[uneven bloom]

yeah a hacker would leak them before a legit one could be found

[austere wigeon]

Think wolves did this good tbh

Fox did it perfectly cause almost all were fur farm foxes lol

[jade thicket]

maybe they will on tuesday

or some day next week

or to big the stream up on monday

show em then

[dusky wolf]

The branch mounts are gonna look so good in the Layton lodge

Also I’m hoping we can put the rock mount on the bear plaque in the Layton lodge aswell

[austere wigeon]

Guess where they won’t fit

Well maybe for Canada goose

That’s it

[dusk creek]

Has a cc killed a boar yet

[austere wigeon]

Many boars

No g1s though

[dusk creek]

Yeah

Meant to say g1 lol

Damn

[austere wigeon]

Lmfao

[jade thicket]

it will depend if they allowed to grind or not prolly see one by tuesday from someone

[dusky wolf]

Mallard

[austere wigeon]

They are I’m watching Ibuy do it now

[austere wigeon]

They wall plaque? That’ll be neat

[jade thicket]

him or crow will probably have one by tuesday

[austere wigeon]

Maybe

[jade thicket]

or mel

we will see

[midnight spoke]

Do we know the new drink times for Wild Boar on Torr? (If they have new times that is)

[dusk creek]

I think its the same

[stiff hornet]

Mallards can’t go on the wall plaque to my knowledge

[long spade]

Just watched Mel's First impression video snd the Erithrystic red deer she got looks great and all but it looks so much like a cow its just not hitting for me

[wet bough]

It's the same

[weak smelt]

What genius did EW hire to come up with "So the RED deer... what if we made them MORE RED"

[austere wigeon]

Red deer^2

[dark flower]

they should backfill american mink in other american maps

[long spade]

Pine marten for Yukon, i beg

[eager patrol]

I love the erythristic red deer 😍

[finite wagon]

Me too!!

[paper locust]

Hey people wanted to shoot highland cows... close enough

[long spade]

Who!?

[fierce topaz]

Some people ig

[paper locust]

Idr who lol

[fierce topaz]

I remember seeing it too

[paper locust]

Came up a few times

As soon as Scotland was the revealed location

[long spade]

Ban them. ASAP

Who shoots a milk cow?!

I've hunted feral cattle but that was not some farm bound milk factory

[neat viper]

Guys question did will rest roe deer
Red deer
Wild boar

[paper locust]

Not as far as we know, no

[grand jetty]

Mod btw

[austere wigeon]

Blocked btw

[grand jetty]

My hs won state today

[austere wigeon]

It’s not even a joke any more I asked you to stop saying ts 😭😭😭😭

[grand jetty]

Oh last one I’m fr😭

[austere wigeon]

Okay 🥹

[grand jetty]

Carrion dis u?

[long spade]

Loving the Roe deer remodel, I cant wait for that part of the update alone

[paper locust]

They look sooo much better

It's crazy

[long spade]

Im so happy the antlers got resized to fit the model better too

It makes them more realistic and so much more impressive

[shadow prism]

And they don’t look like absolute crap now

It’s like they didn’t know how to blend the colors early on and just splotched stuff together

[long spade]

I just kinda realized, its going to make Musk deer look so much worse by comparison

[long spade]

I love the Layton lodge, I just wish it wasn't so freaking restricted

[dusk creek]

I wish we just got a full sized lodge in that style

It wouldve easily been the most popular one

[long spade]

Yes, that exactly

[dusk creek]

Saseka Would be a very cool lodge NOW once we get more africa representation

Spring creeks very claustrophobic and saseka doesnt match any of my trophies

[weak smelt]

Spring creek looks the best so i use that

[jade thicket]

just need a light dimmer so you can make it brighter

so dim in spring creek

especially the back rooms

cause of how the sun works in the game

[long spade]

I wish spring creek and Layton lodge had weapon mounts

[jaunty trail]

We getting this kind of weather?

[jaunty trail]

The return of weapon racks is definitely needed, especially with customization

[weak smelt]

Oh my LORD we have so much fog over here 😭 I can barely see 20ft infront of me

[jaunty trail]

Lifted for a bit but it's settled back in again, looks cool on my night vision CCTV at work

[night axle]

FINALLY MY HOMELAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[wheat holly]

Don’t tell me it’s gonna be releasing at 1am for me..

[pine lily]

yuh

think for me it releases around like 6 AM

[vivid cosmos]

cool stuff you guys can start playing as soon as you wake up

[arctic pike]

where do you find that

is it only on the desktop version

[vivid cosmos]

It looks maybe like the Xbox version

Its not on steam

[warped pebble]

wait what time zone are you in

[wheat holly]

AEST

[wheat holly]

Xbox for me!

[vivid cosmos]

What does that mean?

[warped pebble]

ah god damnit so you mean that I have to wait an extra day for the release?? 😭

[wheat holly]

Australian eastern standard time

[warped pebble]

oh

[wheat holly]

Yes 😭

[warped pebble]

wait im stupid I didnt realize the a was australian

[vivid cosmos]

Lmao it goes out at the same time for everyone

[wheat holly]

OH WAIT NO IM AEDT

Australia eastern daylight time

[vivid cosmos]

Nobody is starting to play early

[wheat holly]

Yes but timezones

It’ll be the 9th for people like in America and 10th for people like in Australia

[warped pebble]

thats tragic 💔

[vivid cosmos]

Ah got it

[warped pebble]

the 9th already feels so far away I cant imagine having to wait an extra day

[wheat holly]

Technically it’s not an extra day in a way but yeah it feels farther 😭

So like example for me it’s currently Sunday, the 7th of December at 5:03pm

[vivid cosmos]

You have to wait the same time as me and for me it's like 2 days and some hours

[pine lily]

im excited to experiment with more restricted loadouts

[vivid cosmos]

Same day 12:00am for me

[pine lily]

im think 20GA sxs only

slugs go up to class 7 on them iirc

buck can cover the class 2 stuff

birdshot for everything else

[wheat holly]

Man IK this is offtopic but timezones can be so confusing

[pine lily]

blame the railroad

[vivid cosmos]

I was wondering what I should use for the new map I was tempted to just use a Shotgun with different cartridges but I don't want to be limited in distance with those amazing hills

What loadout will you guys use?

[wheat holly]

I’m excited to demolish the woodcock population.

[warped pebble]

virant .22 and frost .257 are both a must in the map

[delicate peak]

hudzik, frost and new shotgun

[vivid cosmos]

The hudzic is the air rifle?

[delicate peak]

guys 5 guage shotgun when?

[delicate peak]

the muzzleloader

[warped pebble]

the new 410 shotgun is not gonna kill any bird unfortunately 💔

oh wait you mean benelhag

im stupid mb

[vivid cosmos]

Ahh got it

The Beneli is a Beaut

Benelhag*

[warped pebble]

I was so disappointed when I heard it only has 3 shots

[delicate peak]

3 shots kind of realistic though

[vivid cosmos]

Me too I have one almost exactly the same with 5

[warped pebble]

yeah but it was so close to being better then the cacciatore 😭

[wheat holly]

My main, Frost .257, Anantha action .22mag, sunberg 454, cacciatore 12G and the stenberg takedown recurve bow

[warped pebble]

I cant decide if I should use the .22 mag or .22lr

[pine lily]

nice

[wheat holly]

If I wasn’t also going after class 2’s I would go .22lr

[uneven bloom]

my loadout is going to be: ol' reliable the .243, Hawk Edge, and the starter shotgun

[warped pebble]

257 already demolishes any class 2 "ethically" though

[uneven bloom]

because if it takes me more than two shots to hit a bird, the bird is too far 👍

[vivid cosmos]

I'll use .22 wasp for Badgers and foxes and the mustelids, the new shotgun and probably either the mosin or the moradi

[wheat holly]

I honestly need to experiment more with guns though.. any recommendations? I pretty much use the same load out for EVERYTHING and it’s getting boring

[pine lily]

me remember all the videos potter has posted where he erases a duck from 85 yards cause hes just a young god on shotguns in this game

[pine lily]

join me in 20GA SxS shotgun only

for Torr

[vivid cosmos]

Choose a gun you find cool and stick to it forever I love the 7mm empress

[uneven bloom]

real reason I try to avoid buying weapons is to avoid menu clutter

I dislike clutter

[finite wagon]

This map is gonna be amazing for shotguns

Biggest guy is the red deer right? What class are they again?

[wheat holly]

That’s what I’ve done but now I’m bored of the guns I use the most!

[pine lily]

wholly valid, although the lodge sorting feature gives me hope for inventory and storage

[pine lily]

6

so you can unironically rock 20GA only

[finite wagon]

Yup

[warped pebble]

is that 20ga the rancho dlc shotgun?

[finite wagon]

Thats why i asked

[pine lily]

Rancho is 16GA

[warped pebble]

oh right

what dlc is that one in?

[pine lily]

im talking about the 20GA SxS double barrels with i think one of the waterfowl DLCs

duck and cover maybe

[warped pebble]

I have the duck and cover and I cant find it in my storage so its porbably goose chase

[wheat holly]

I did recently change over from the Arzyna to the vallgarda though

[delicate peak]

the one with one barrel over the other?

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah after the 500hr mark you have to start to make your own fun, I've disabled zeroing and tend to play without tracks to make it interesting, no amount of gunplay does it for me

[finite wagon]

Hmmm

[pine lily]

no, side by side = SxS

[finite wagon]

Do i wanna shotgun only...

No... no i mustnt

[pine lily]

the over under is the 12ga

[finite wagon]

Shotgun and a bow

You know what

Hell yea i'll use shotgun and a bow

Maybe a .22 as well

[pine lily]

im gonna alternate between 20GA sxs only and .30-30/.22 mag ironsights

[vivid cosmos]

.22 for the Mink on the water

[finite wagon]

Yuh

[vivid cosmos]

Good call

[finite wagon]

Okay cool so i'll be running 16 gauge, a compound bow, and a 22

And whatever callers i'll be using... lol

[wheat holly]

I reckon the guns I wanna get out of my comfort zone the most and try are the F.L. Sporter, Zagan varminter, Perry, mårtensson and kullman.

[finite wagon]

Will be interesting to hunt boar with the bow

[wheat holly]

Will I ever suck it up and try them? Probably not

Yknow what, I can get some cash real quick from the yak grind, ima buy the guns

[vivid cosmos]

Mårtensson is goated, best precision shooting in the game

[wheat holly]

This might be a bad idea and I might waste my money but hey I could potentially find a new fav gun

[vivid cosmos]

But I will only use the Rayo

[uneven bloom]

is fun

compound bow also makes for an alternative to a handgun for self-defense

[finite wagon]

Lets hope i dont get gored while calling them in lmfao

[uneven bloom]

one that's far less likely to erase zones

[wheat holly]

Just wanna say thank you though real quick, you all are helping me explore out of my comfort zone 😅🥹

[uneven bloom]

If you have the pointer DLC, you can wield the dog to sneak into arrow range

[finite wagon]

I do yeah!

[uneven bloom]

I was doing that a lot on Layton earlier today

[vivid cosmos]

Boars suffer from the arcade aspect of the game they basically can't kill you unless you are a newby

[pine lily]

youre welcome!

[finite wagon]

Do the badgers go aggressive by any chance

[uneven bloom]

Pointer + bow = fun hunting combo

[pine lily]

i think they can if startled up close?

[finite wagon]

One of the small blips of the trailers seemed to give off that impression yea

[pine lily]

i know mink have special unique feed zones and dive to hunt

[delicate peak]

is it weird i want a bolt action 16 guage shotgun?

[finite wagon]

Zach do you realize what this means

[warped pebble]

do you think the mink will flee underwater if spooked?

[finite wagon]

Seals are a very real possibility

Greenland MIGHT become real

[vivid cosmos]

I saw Scarecrow scare one and it didn't dive

[pine lily]

oooo

[pine lily]

possibly if spooked in the water

[vivid cosmos]

I don't love the reds not getting beards

I think it will get patched very quickly right?

Maybe? 😭

[warped pebble]

only the g1's have the beards unfortunately 💔

[pine lily]

tbf, most red stags dont grow very large beards

in fact, outside of the carpathians, norway, sweden, and some areas of scotland they rarely have true manes

[vivid cosmos]

No but I prefer all of them having them than none of them having them

[pine lily]

just some neck swelling

[pine lily]

some of the furs seem to have some shagginess; i wouldve liked a mtn goat equivalent tbh

1 or 2 maneless summer coat commons

a couple that are variations of mid volume beard

and then one thats just an absolute mane

would represent the distribution fairly well

[vivid cosmos]

Could be cool, it would be cooler if animals where adapted to the seasons on their maps

But its asking too much

[finite wagon]

Or, or

Crack idea

[vivid cosmos]

Subspecies

[finite wagon]

They make the scotland red deer a subspecies

And make the lvl 7 racks diamonds

Instead that hybrid abomination that is current red deer

Thats like. Insane nz red deer rack

[vivid cosmos]

I feel like subspecies would be a good idea if they didn't have so many moose and Whitetail maps, whitetail either change a lot or only change size so it would be hard for them to add subspecies to them and GO subspecies that's just work making more work

[finite wagon]

I dont like the red deer bro im sorry

[austere wigeon]

I’d sure hope so

[finite wagon]

If the lvl 7 racks were diamond itd be peak

Let the lvl 9 insane nz red deer racks be g1

[vivid cosmos]

The lvl 9 racks aren't realistic anywhere

[finite wagon]

Truth

Closest you have is new zealand reds

But even then

[vivid cosmos]

They have the spikiness but are just too long, cut some of the lenght and leave the spikes, Add vines GO

[delicate peak]

i would like the regular european red deer to score diamond at 5 and te and emerald red deer to score at 9 but that my opinion

[vivid cosmos]

The big six racks would work for European reds

[delicate peak]

yea

[vivid cosmos]

I feel all deers should go to Lvl 5 whitetail, roe and reds

[delicate peak]

ive been grinding emerald coast multi and noticing that realistically those would be true european red deer diamond

[austere wigeon]

Factual

[warped pebble]

their level depends on how smart their ai is though

cuz roe deer spook within like 50 meters while red deer spook in like 120

[vivid cosmos]

... yeah but it should either work that way with all species or with none, they stopped doing it somewhere after literally the first two maps

And red deer shouldn't be smarter than Whitetail

[warped pebble]

yeah I agree with you

[vivid cosmos]

Sheep should be super easy to spook but aren't

Buffalo has no reason being so attentive either

[shadow prism]

Every animals needs reworked spook wise because elk are extremely spooky and mule deer generally are a little dumber irl in most cases at least and the bigger the herd of animals the more likely they are to spook etc should be implemented

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah could work

[wheat holly]

The mårtensson has made it into my main load out now 😂 along with the kullman .22h

[cinder flicker]

you should try the fl sporter

[wheat holly]

I did! It’s a close second especially because of the better recoil in my opinion

[cinder flicker]

nice, i like the 6.5mm but its sadly underpowered at times

especially for class 5-6

works great for class 4s though and very flat

[wheat holly]

I’m gonna have to do a lot of testing with the fl and mårtensson, im stuck inbetween them both tbh 😭

[austere wigeon]

Oh Ibuy just found a rare woodcock

[wheat holly]

WHAT

[cinder flicker]

add the eckers as well if you have it, best sounding out of all of them

[wheat holly]

I NEED TO SEE IT RN

[austere wigeon]

It’s not dead yet 🥹 I’ll get a ss when he kills it

[cinder flicker]

ibuy is a diff breed

[weak smelt]

@austere wigeon

Holy fuff

[austere wigeon]

[weak smelt]

Silver leus always peak🤞

Rusa, sambar, hog deer, teal, roe
