It's likely the American alligator
I doubt it would work since truracs affects antlers and horns and probably not the rest of the model, but what if we got something that works the same way truracs does but with higher ranking gators being noticeably longer and thicker
It looks like a crocodile not an alligator
It’s a gator 100%
That's an alligator. Snout's not long enough.
^
It's definitely supposed to be an alligator but the skull shape is a little off, but I can work with it
the backdrop looks like the nostalgia land rougarou bayou byt weird trees
Also there's not any interlocking teeth like crocodiles have, it's all overbite like alligators have
Largest alligator skull on record on the shelf
Looks friendly
GO 
New map looks awesome way better than that rancho crap
GO alligator
gattors are gonna now be the most unique species
Deinosuchus hatcheri the King of crocs
Water physics baby
They will be the most hunted animal in game
what class do you guys think they'll be, i'd say 7, but idk
Ayyy
Yeah it was pheasants before now its going to be gators
Yes please
What other reptiles could be hunted?
🙏 for some snakes
like the ones in florida that are invasive
i cant bloody remember their names
Nile crocodiles are quite popular quarry
python?
yes
Walk by and pop a rattlesnake with a .410
burmese i think?
cant wait for gator hunting gonna be very ointresting
Nile crocodile
Ah cmon
Discord beimg shit
Hold on a sec
I'm definitely excited for how alligator hunting will work
ooo nile monitors, iguanas and the burmese python would be fun to hunt
iguanas get HUGE too
Whats the name of the song they played in the teaser? Do any americans know it? I think it said something about New Orleans
Gators are very docile
They are like one of the most chill crocodylians
Literally croc puppies
crocs r crocs
they bite
Ohno believe me
they wild animals
Salties will fuck you up
I think they are going to add boats and have that be the way we hunt them
Gators are just chill
What does this thing in #📢︴game-news mean
yeah those too
About GO
Ye, unless you're a dog or a tiny child or got close to momma's babies, you're generally pretty safe from an alligator
They'll either flee or give you a pretty clear warning
Alligators confirmed? Oh my god
Here is a clip of the teaser
Or you trigger a feeding repsonse but even then they usually wont go at you
They’re really doing it, those mad lads
they are giving away 4 headsets for the winner
I want Gustave to eat my face, a nile croc in New Orleans I don't care
Lel
Nile crocodiles at Lake Chamo are more impressive than Gustave tbh
what are you thinking?
I thought it was going to be a beaver:(
i think its a crocodile
So if it a swamp and very likely a Louisiana swamp that would mean eastern turkeys and then we only need osceolas for a turkey slam
Toothy lizard
I can’t believe they are adding them in
Hopefully in the story of the new map they make me kill a diamond gator
same thing but different
...
i cant WAIT for gators
Tbf croc hunts are hella boring irl so i wouldnt get mega hyped
What's the name of the song?
Will just look cool in the lodge
yall amazed with ghillie suit while me wearing the good ol natural reliable siberia bear real fur suit: 😳
If alligator eyes glow at night I'm 100% gonna try to get a photo like this
Also yall have seen those massive fallow and red herds, I hope we get something wild like this for alligators
crap no
I love that pic lmao
But caiman are even worse
In terms of numbers
Hopefully they make em interesting
Where does jaxy beard get all his energy from lol
Maybe they finally add feeders
from his beard
what is GO
Great One
great 1
It's laced with coke
AAAAAAAAAA
GO and stop
Great One
I know these colors are generally just on younger alligators, but it would be cool if we got a skin variant that had those markings anyway
the chat rn is filled with ladylegend simps
Shazam cant recognize it sadly ; (
It says New Orleans so I don't think there is any more doubt of where the map is going to be
imagine they add this sight for april fools
oh god lmaooo
where?
Hmmm obviously africa
wait the map is new orleans?
Im gonna be the first to get an albino gator on xbox
bet
it would look amazing
im gona be the first to get rougarou bayou nostalgia on pc
imagine you jump into the water on the new map and you see this :
I've mentioned it before, but in Louisiana, they could do the invasive Nutria
Hopefully you can mount gators jaws on the wall
and then it just bites you clean in half
17ft albino gator great one oh yes please
Nah a multi mount of a gator attacking a deer
i love how in the teaser everyone knew that an alligator was gonna pop up amidst all the logs and brush
That's a river rat? Do americans call it Nutria?
That to
A bear
Gators have killed black bears
So
Gator vs bear🤣
Nutria is the Spanish word for otter
^^^
that's because they're invasive from South America
speaking of alligators,if you shot one how would you get to it 🤔
would it float to you or would you have to use a hook or go up to it by boat ?
it will prolly float to u like other animals when they die in water
😏😏😏😏😏
Oh another thing the teaser has me thinking boat because this makes wet af
yea they would either have to add water wading or a boat.... I think the boat option would be easier for them
new secret teaser that was on the screen for 0.0001 second
Reminder that gifs are disabled here for the average user
People have been asking for gators/crocs for years so yes, I am mega hyped.
Yeah that's the Classic map I think
😫
nostalgia gaming
bs
same here, love gator hunting in red dead
i know that SnakeDiscovery have a gator with those colours, however she is deformed + stunted due to neglect from past owners, but she is really interesting how she kept her baby colours
Take it from someone who has been a fulltime croc lover for a year, the hunting probably wont be that cool unless they make a complicated AI or they make it untealistic AF. However just taking pictures of them will already be cool, i just hope they will frequently bask.
they could easily rework the new gator models, resize, detail them and pump up the aggressiveness to turn them into crocs, and add them to the Africa map
Oh hey I know what you're talking about, I've seen them before

yea, Rex is gorgeous gator, really cute, she is 100% the reason im going ot have difficulties hunting them haha,
At least they are trying their best to listen to the community. Even if it’s not as great as we may assume, they are doing better and I hope they keep this up
Ye for sure
true
I've never done it personally, but we'd have big gator hunts in the local area where I grew up to control the population. It was always a big event
You lay prone next to a lake to get a shot and next thing you know you’re nose to snout to a 7 foot gator
Me when new we can hunt gators in cotw :
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
I mean, it shows them pretty obviously on the teaser
Der
ANYWAYS, I'd be overjoyed if there was wood duck and/or green-winged teal
Wood duck,black duck,mallard and a nother duck i cant remember
or just teal, green wing and blue wing as plumage types
I'd like to hunt some beavers
looks like we got a crocosexual
depending on the location, i am hoping for some other reptiles!
Ducks and such would be good too, maybe more geese?
i hope for some interesting lil thigns we havent seen,
i agree w/ otter that beavers would be cool
I'm def buying it on release, may the inevitable bugs come as they may
i always buy on release :')
cottonmouth snakes insta-kill the player and are everywhere, for realism
I honestly like being part of the effort to find all the bugs and report 'em so they get squashed
“Hello, yes, I am going to be late for work. Why? I need to download something that’s really important.”
my dad is 71, has twice as many hours in this game than I do. Already messaged him, got him excited XD
i dont want more whitetail personally but i would like blacktail too but eh nbd
i dont think id wanna hunt the majority of snakes, id rather hunt giant constrictors who are severely invasive
I would rather have blacktail too
they should put mocassins just for the challenge of avoiding them
there is no way the next content is not a new map
It’s definitely a map
but now that i have a computer that can really handle the game, i am so ready for it
lol I think they’re not able to say directly it’s a map plus the reaction of the community screaming map at them is probably really funny
I can’t see how it can’t be a map
Or blue winged teal, or even American black duck. (Don’t get me started on ducks lol. I can name every species of wild duck and where they live)
WELL THEN.
frantically searching for the song like a psycho
It actually looks good at that
It’s most deinfutley a map but they may not be able to straight up say it’s a map which is why they won’t
Wonder how it'll actually act
Because it’s another “teaser”
ZAMN
Couldnt find it either lol
It's a good song
Common merganser would be a really nice species
Jaxy’s enthusiasm really sets the tone for each stream
Or they could embrace small game adding squirrels
its because of the coke on his beard you can see it theres a patch of white
Havent really seen the streams with him much but he's got a great hype-builder voice lol
i wonder if the story for the new map is going to be short or long 👀
I hope it’s long
teaser trailer is officially posted now
and if its going to be interesting
I dienfurley agree I’m enjoying this stream so much haha
the stream is hilarious
yes please 🥺
bring back my classic memories
yea they must have had someone sing that song for them then
If there are going to be many ducks in this new reserve (and why wouldn’t there be. They are fun in classic) I still think it is backwards to introduce such a reserve before they start the rework on ducks.
Unless they are preparing for the duck rework

OR they could add them in later
thumbnail sus
Exactly. In that case the reserve run the risk of seeming a bit empty to start with. But we don’t know the exact list of animals, so we’ll see.
the song KINDA reminds me of Richard Marx's Hazard
maybe nebrasta lmao?
(Bare in mind i know fuck all about american places :P )
Its cool that gators are in and all, but it would be based if they finally stopped with the USA maps
I hope this is our last one, aside from a potential Arctic map
But Arctic =/= USA lmao
yea lol
f a t o r
minecraft alligator
Water rework time finally? 👁️ boats maybe?
👁️
Sad that they will all have the same size a lvl9 and lvl 1 female
Not interested in the other potential animals, but the alligator will likely be the "peccary" of the map
Someone brought up the idea of making them have a home thingy kinda like the European Rabbit which will be very interesting
Aka the best reason to buy it
As in, they're on land and then would be scared (or could attack from?) a point in the water
I thought you where about to slander peccaries and I was putting my fists up lol
Ofc, assuming it isn't a whole rework of water and waterfowl
inb4 they just endlessly run at you like the buffalo
LOL
Water rework would be amazing tbh
Get tracked across the map by alligators
wouldn't surprise me
Happened to me yesterday with Iberian Wolves lmao
how the water rework would act?
The music is SUPERB ye
oooooh I'm going to like that map
Looks cool
I wonder if we're gonna get a Swamp Rabbit LOL
reminds me of the Florida map in Bird Hunter 2003 actually
cottontail rabbits are likely
Got those vibes
Swamp Rabbit is a species of cottontail
What should we expect to hunt on that land other than waterfowl and gators?
What I REALLY hope for is Osceola Turkey
Water buffalo
Possibly even Osceola and Eastern Turkey
I hope they make ducks airborne only like the pheasants with the rework
Osceola on the southern half, Eastern on the northern, ala Cuatro Ibex
Nooooo
And the pintails and stuff
We need better ducks
The hunter classic
We all do
Ducks
hhhhh really want to get back into the game now but I know from yesterday's attempt that I'm not played out on my new one yet 😂 😭
actually looks like a coastline.... man, I'd lose my s*** if it is the Everglades
I want a whole setup I’ll buy the dlc I’ll pay for it if it’s a dlc
Expect more Whitetail, btw
I want the hunter classic waterfowl
Like all the ducks
How they work
I want the duck calls
Maybe Florida Bobcat?
Reskinned bobcat probably
or just a rename to "Bobcat" in general
armadillos 🤪
the validity of Mexican Bobcat as a separate subspecies is contested
Aren't armadillos endangered?
Maybe beaver and hogs
Hog gator multimount
no
if they are, that's news to me. They were all over the place in central FL where I grew up
Wouldnt expect it due to the older clues being fairly centered around the Mississippi river and whatnot
i wish a gator underwater in the trophy lodge
It's POSSIBLE, but Louisiana is the most likely one atm
The trailer said New Orleans
yea, very true... the excitement clouded my memory on that one.. .Just glad we have a swamp map w gators, FL or not 🙂
So Louisiana it is
Yep
what
alligator pool mount for saseka
That's not something you should be messing with unless something is very wrong with your population.
yes
there is somthing very wrong
gator mounts are going to look so awesome in the lodges
That looks wrong
You're not looking in the right places then. There's no such thing as an "only female" population.
animal pop 1
But a pop 0 1 shouldn't exist
Also curious about that.
probably made a copy of population 0 or something
It said New Orleans? Was that in the lyrics?
Just saw the trailer. Alligator looks exciting. Guess we know for certain it is in NA. Wonder what other animals will be there
Yup
Ok
I sure wish the game was cross save between console and PC. I'd buy the game again on PC, but I have all my time invested on PS4/PS5...... I KNOW I'll be waiting a lot longer than you PC guys & gals :\
Bold of them to put 2 NA maps back to back. Guess Covid travel restrictions are really taking their toll
should be out by March on console lol
March is the perfect time estimate
Oof
I want a strictly bird based map
Small game map
I’m not sure they travel that much when researching new reserves, but I don’t know.
I want a small game based map Squirrel rabbit fox waterfowl turkeys etc…
Even raccoons
Put the thermal to use
avalanche studios is based in sweden lol
And the internet is based everywhere, almost…
same
squirrel hunting would be amazing
im sure the mechanics would be weird tho
Not really
Well
Maybe
Like you run around and shoot them out trees or off the ground
so for everybody asking what the song from the trailer is,its a custom made song for the trailer,cannot be listened to AFAIK
im talking about they would have to rework the trees and everything
Yeah true
although in doing that they could make it where turkey could purch in the trees as they do irl
I'm upset I really hoped there wouldn't be gators
why's that?
Scouting team is probably in the US. Also aren't people in Sweden allowed to travel to the US even when the borders were closed to most of the world?
Wow
Tbf we had gator roars as the first found clue
So excited
sameeeee
Wonder what the new weapon will be, anyone have any solid guesses yet?
probably a brush gun
hmmmm,maybe a 308 😉
mines 😆
308 would be a nice one, I would love another brush gun but in all honesty the 45-70 is trash so I don’t want them ruining any others
fair
why would you not want gators lol
It's finally something really unique added to the game
true
yes but they did alright with the 30-30
even tho it's a base gun
im gonna fill up a entire lodge with gators
amen
Joke's on us, the whole map is gators of different sizes
God yes same
i hope so
Oh yes
doubt
I cant belive that people actually believed that the sound clue was other things (like lepords) than gators smh
I have never heard them sounding like that (espacially that rumble) like an alligator
The bellow is hella unique
Yes and thats how i knew
Yeah you are right there, I need to use the 30-30 more
its a pretty decent gun
Still can’t get past that 45-70 though, they even tweaked it cause it used to be worse and it’s still bad, I tried hunting with it and it struggled hard to punch through organs
omg they added alligator
welcome to the party
If the gators are all uniform size imma cms
Yeah I hope they have trusize or however they're scored irl
Usually it is just their weight or length that is taken
In american alligators the head-length is roughly ~1:7 of the total-length
Not the case with crocodiles
The average american gator male is about 3,2-3,9m and the largest gator based on a skull is about 4,8m
Historical reports describe specimens of 5-5,9m however no phyiscal evidence except a alleged 5,5m/18ft skin exists of those
The a 4,8m one would weigh 400kg+
Which is more than twice of the average weight
They probably will lmao
let's just hope they don't
Not a single game has ever managed to make a proper crocodylian ever so i wont get my hopes up
But good that they try anyway
Maybe i will be pleasently suprised lmao
Is this from the new map
Yes
guys do we have another GO now besides red and whitetail deer
no idea
well in #📢︴game-news they said new GO is out
tbh looks like rancho
were they ref'ing the red deer tho?
That was metaphorical. Referring to that they weren't going in-depth on the red GO this stream.
We’re getting American alligators then not crocs even though I’m sure their hunted in just about the same way
Trailer teaser looks epic ^^
yeah, im so hyped
Alligators actually, but yes
sorry 😛
I wouldn't be surprised if we get crocs in the future
Now hold on we still gotta figure out when it releases XD
music was perfect for the trailer
I wonder if the music on the map will have actual lyrics like in the trailer
I believe that's the first trailer someone actually sung in
dunno
im gonna guess december 17 for pc
@ivory arch well I’m on console so lol
rip
Idk, Apex Connect is pretty promising. Updates may be closer together if not on top of each other in the future
plus the quick fix for the new go was within days
With the reveal of alligators confirmed this means we can expect other crocodilians down the line. I remember EW mentioning that they'll only do animals than can share a rig due to time/money. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Africa map has niles on it for this reason.
ooooh good point
i never thoguht of that
that could be cool cause they could implement zebra and stuff
Yep, and all done serverside through apex. Crocs an Vurhonga would be cool due to the rivers surrounding the reserve
It’s not a bad map, they just kinda threw a lot of un interesting species on it (granted, I love hunt gemsbok and wildebeest)
yep
Africa is a diverse place and it’s just not a diverse map
the song is made by EWs musical team right
If I could buy CD soundtracks for the game I would
Like full orchestral versions of the reserve songs
@tame storm that’s fair I’m think since they said soon last week of November or First week of December
Also they said that they did a change to red deer GO’s did anyone find it?
Also how many Red Deer GO’s do we know exist as of rn?
Vurhonga needs a complete rehaul tbh it's one of my least favorite maps
They fixed the issue of Red Deer GO’s spawning dead and as common fur type. All done serverside through Apex Connect interestingly enough
Yesss it good
yup
@tame storm did you see on the 2022 edition there was a cowboy hat person in the video
Wait, really?
@tame storm yea look at the video there was a person with a cowboy hat
Oh, wait, that outfit. Thats the Vurhonga game warden outfit
Oooh
yeee
I didn’t know that was a thing
What animals could you see there being on a Louisiana map
Also I looked up a website for southern Louisiana hunting and found some animals that could be there
Alligators
WT
Sika
Fallow
Ducks
Pheasant
Quail
Axis
A sheep species called Aoudad
I almost completely forgot that reserves in the US have Sika, Fallow, and Axis imported in. In the old Cabelas Outdoors Adventure game (2006) on the swampy maryland map they had Sika Deer. It would be cool to hunt Sika Deer in that environment again
Plus it would add another map for them to be hunted on COTW since they can only be hunted on NZ map I believe rn
Axis plz
Sika and Axis would be awesome
and if it were also Map #3 for both WT and Fallow, I wouldn't complain about that either
I hope they might add in grey fox
Yea and southern Louisiana is along the Mississippi River Area and maybe
Although the one thing I will say is why another WT place lol
Oh I would love that! I personally think they have the best pelt colorations of all foxes
Yeah grey look beautiful
@wind ridge where are the alligators then?
Considering the map is likely going to be a southern US map grey Fox would a really good option! A Smaller/shorter Fox with a shorter muzzle and larger ears would be so cool. As that’s the main differences between them
Hell if they added Cross foxes I would be amazed too!
(And those would be more or less recolroed Fox models tbh)
I would pay extra if needed to have a mount between the two lmao
Also for exotics present in the SEUS you've got Water Buffalo, Ellipsen/Common Waterbuck (seriously!), Sambar Deer, and then ofc plenty of non-native pigs...
Just for the sheer fact that they’re so different and Greys are clearly superior in reality
@upbeat skiff all in Louisiana?
@midnight moon uhhhhhhh I don't think so butttt wouldn't be surprised
Definitely in Florida tho
@upbeat skiff I was about to say ummm what? Lol
And we all know COTW maps are never super bound by geography LOL
I think we are looking at something closer to Louisiana. And Florida is definitely a wild card of all sorts lmao
It truly, truly is
That would never
EVER
EVER
Happen
They didn't even give us a unique WT for Rancho
Oh I know they’re protected did I remember correctly
When there are like four to use
@upbeat skiff so what I’m hearing is that this could potentially beat Africa map in number of animals if they don’t follow that
But like smol deer
If ducks are done right then it should rightfully do that anyway imo
Have like Ringbill/Ringneck, Wood Duck, Redhead, and Pintail
Hmm I wonder if the map would have places fit for grey foxes?
I imagine there’s going to be a few places further from swamp or water
Actually works cause Wood Duck and Pintail could share a whistle call and Redhead/Ringbill could share a diver call
@analog latch id assume so
Gotta have dry land for "mah whitetail" so demanded by the community o.e
That would mean the majority of the map may potentially be small game
Fair enough but we don’t know exactly what they’re adding correct?
Then swamp rabbit/cottontail, ducks, turkey, bobcat
Ye
Ofc
But just guessing
Fortunately there really isn't THAT much choice
Nothing wrong with that
I just hope we can use the 300 on the alligators
We definitely should be able to
Hell, may even get a special harpoon gun for them LOL
But this would be in theory the last time we may get a change for grey foxes because no ones going to want another NA map after this
I think the last time a grey fox appeared in a hunting game was in like
2009 lmao
So def overdue
I mean who wouldn’t want a mount between the two?
YESSSS
Gray
I would love a grey fox mount in a tree
Something like that could work for a raccoon too
Or even a wood duck LOL
Oh and yknow for the devs to see the major differences so that we may be blessed perhaps :3
I would hunt raccoons out of spite lmao
Oh I would love that
Sorry wasn’t aware
Is fine lots of people do not realize
Oh
We're forgetting on really clear potential choice
Nutria/Coypu
I lived in Maine and now the Carolinas. So that’s what we call them usually
Nutria rat
Yeah it's what everyone calls them down here
But no I got bit by a raccoon not too recently so I definitely would hunt them out of spite
Huh?
Yea but I don’t want to update anyone 🙂
True
Having different size classes of Alligator would be nice and interesting mechanically.
I say they'll be 6 maybe 7
Potential smol upland birds could work too, Bobwhite or Woodcock
7 would fit more
Bro, albino alligators...
Oh bobwhite would be cool. I haven’t hunted those since I was in Maine and my friends dad took me out with them
Nah, like a bunch 2-5 some 6-8, need to get your calibers right...
Been a lonnnnnnnngggggg time since a hunting game has had Bobwhite too
I think Remington's Great American Bird Hunt was the last lol
Alligators are gonna be the first animals without fur or feathers so I’m interested to see how they do rates
Rares
All kinds of stuff you could do with gators
I could bet albino would be considered
Leucistic, Albino, Piebald all exists in them
Albino alligators are beautiful
Lvl 3-5 gator: 8ft
Lvl 6 gator: 11,5ft
Lvl 7-8 gator: 14ft
Lvl 9 gator: 15,8ft
That would be the dream
Oh yea luecistic! I can’t remember if it’s that one or albino that I saw recently
Really old ones get almost jet-black so it looks basically like melanism
So that can be a thing too
Black as a rare scale type
No, the big ol lvl 9s be jet black
The higher the level the darker the gator
A dream 😍
Mela alligator exist 😱
So black as a almost diamond exclusive that would be cool as hell
Yes yes they do
There adorable as babys
That would be amazing but wouldnt that be harder to accomplish?
A multi mount with a gator jumping out at a whitetail...take my money
9 i think
Look so good! Would be amazing if both were added
I would imagine that would end up being a GO in that case because of the exclusiveness
Beast
I truly see diamond Gators being the most rare diamond in the game for how rare one that big is seen irl
I wonder how they will do the behavior
I can get that but we won’t know yet haha
I wonder if they'll be able to eat you
Probably like rabbits. They swim and dive under when shot at
They dont do it irl usually, compared to other crocodylians alligators are EXTREMELY friendly
Could you imagine constantly having the danger of getting killed by alligator walking around the edge of the water?
I hope they make it so they walk around too
They may become aggressive like wolves other predators do
Well in the teaser the gator was on land
YES and I’m totally down for added risk
It'll be rare but could happen
Hide your dogs
Lol
Though they’d probably have an insanely loud bellow that would scare you first
Imagine night time
They are very territorial afterall.
What do you think the weapon caliber would be used? I think 5 or 6
Aggression chart of crocodylians
Gator is marked in red
They be peaceful
Literally the most docile living crocodylians
Lol
I’d assume in their resting zones they will be on land
Could this be the first animal that resting zones are the best to try to hunt?
Yeah, basking. In real life the bigger ones go out of the water as much because their shere back length is enough to take uo energy from the sun when loosely swimming along the surface
I dont think theyll hunt you like wolves or cats on the game, just if you bother them theyll attack
However gators are pretty terrestrial crocodylians
That’s why I imagine they would have a super loud bellow when you enter their territory
And will often travel on land quite a bit
Have you seen the courtship bellows of large gators?
Bro I get jump scared just by a female deer changing direction at me
Unfortunately not first hand but I’ve seen videos of it. The gator we had around here was removed because of complaints that it was “chasing dogs”
Oof
People in my area are super dumb because he didn’t care about the dogs that lived several streets down.
Or maybe they have separate Basking zones
Weapon class 8 or 9?
I’d bet money we get wood ducks
Slide marks to make the zone
A bask of baskers in their basking zone
Swamp area of New map in thumbnail
Land area of New map
In the youtube thumbnail for the trailer
Will there be more pigs?
Pigs and pics? Perhaps 🙂
@deep hearth most likely the feral hog.
Yes we getting a new map
This map will meet all my expectations of a wetland North America map if there are beavers on the map.
Whitetail are pretty much guaranteed to be on the new map.
I want another map with blacktail
@primal flare unfortunately blacktail deer don’t live in the south
I’m predicting that the species roster consists of whitetail, black bear,feral hog, American alligator, American beaver, American black duck,mallard,gadwall,northern pintail,maybe bobcat and eastern Turkey.
Won’t know the official roster until we get the official map breakdown.
I think you may be right, but I would substitute raccoon for beaver.
Just a hunch really.
Damn. Feels like a lot of naps have hogs or boars
@deep hearth they have to put the feral hog in a wetland us map, there’s millions of them in the south and are a very destructive invasive species.
Yea we need them
i can confirm
We’d prolly get wood duck instead of black duck
I’d bet no more than two duck species but otherwise that seems like an excellent and reasonable list.
Do quail live in the swamp?
if they go to a rougarou bayou 2.0 (which I think they will since rougarou was a really good map and people ask so much for ducks), there will be tons of ducks, probably
wood ducks would be nice
Yeah that’s what I thought
I’m just thinking the typical 8-10 animals on each reserve. But maybe the waterfowl rework would change that
I hope
Regular fields or Mrs. Fields? I'd create my habitat in a Mrs. Fields' Cookie shop if I could.
the hell?
I don't even know if they exist anymore, but Mrs. Fields' Cookie is / was a cookie shop in malls back in the day. Spectacular American cookies. You'd smell them baking long before you saw the shop.
The ironic thing is, a map with Blacktail could be the single US/NA map that could be valid aside from a Yucatan map, which can't happen.
The map would be based on the Central Valley of California, and would/could have Blacktail, Tule Elk, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Coyote, California Quail, California Ground Squirrel or Black-tailed Jackrabbit, and then all kinds of waterfowl (personally I'd choose Bufflehead/Greenwing Teal/Northern Shoveler/Ruddy Duck)
I don't think said map would ever happen, but it could lmao
It would be the first time since 2006 that you could hunt all three US Elk subspecies (Roosevelt, Rocky Mountain, and Tule), another map for Blacktail, more ducks, and then people want Prairie Dogs but they won't be added to SRP for whatever reason then the Cali Ground Squirrel could make for a good replacement, they p much act the same
ah
sounds nostalgic
Feral Hogs as a separate species from wild boars would be cool
That’s Feral Pigs
I understand that, but they aren't gonna have a third pig tbh
Even if I totally agree with you
A crossbreed of pigs and boars would be cool to see
Razorback Hog or whatever
Biggest wish besides gators is wood ducks
Ye
Inb4 Mud Hens
ducks 2.0 would be sweet. I wanna quack em down!
Pls not Classic lineup that was awful
Were mud hens in Classic?
Well
They’re not as cool as wood ducks so yeah
Not even really desirable by real life hunters too lol
i just cant wait to see gators
I wonder how they will work. IRL gator hunting is done with a baited hook tied to a tree near the waters edge. They kill the gator with a point blank shot to it's head with usually a small caliber round so there is a possibility of salvaging the skin and or the head. Source: I've watched numerous episodes of Swamp People reality show on The History Channel.
they are prob gonna move slow on land and everybody is gonna say "haha gator move slow"
yea and they might add animal bait
yea they might make it so it counts when you shoot their head
interesting!
TIL they have different regs in Mississippi. I think the show is homed in Lousiana.
Depends on where the reserve is I spose~
Seeing as it is a game, they could still it based in Louisiana with regs like Mississippi.
Swamp People isn't exactly a hunting documentary either lol
What? I am SHOCKED! 🤣
I doubt it but imagine with a water rework that they added bowfishing for those invasive as hell Silver Carp
Could make for a great storyline and be really cool LOL
Coots would be nice in a swamp map. They’re widespread across America and are really cool
Is there even a hunting season for coots or can you hunt them? I haven’t heard of too many people go hunting for American coots. Where I’m from, there’s not too many people who do.
Because they aren’t desirable to shoot and taste like dirt
They share the same season as ducks
I kinda figured that would be why. You never really hear about people nowadays who go hunting for coots
Hopefully we get Wood Ducks and maybe Blue Winged Teals
That would be a good addition for sure. I would like to see those duck species to be added to this map
we need some squirrels
Bluewing Teal pls
I wish there were different species of waterfowl, not ducks only.
Also different ways to hunt them, such as goose hunting in Hirsch and duck hunting in Layton.
Actually that’s a common misconception
They actually taste like any other duck
Even though they are a rail and not a duck
And yes you can hunt them
And typically they have large bag limits because nobody hunts them
Depending on which state/province/territory you live in
You could take up to 25 a day
Honestly so excited for gators
Me 2
Can't wait to see their mechanics
Also, there is no reason not to add crocs to Vurhonga
there
is
they will always find a reason
I’ve eaten them before
They were horrible
Wood ducks look great mounted so i support them
Lmao cultured man
I am not certain that the COTW team has confirmed the presence of Gators in the new map. May be it is part of clue to pinpoint the location?
They have
Look pins
Look at teaser
There a gator in it
They might add them when a new map with nile crocs comes out, like they did with euro rabbits on hirsch when TA came out, but they'd never do it otherwise
Sure - I have seen it, --- but still --- Is it equal to a confirmation that there are Gators in the map?
Why would they make a model and animations if not?
Yes?
Excellent if true, and also ok if not.
They've never shown an animal in trailers that wasn't included in the map.
the ameplay will be interesting, thats for sure
Hopefully they count the brain as a vital shot
Because that is the correct way to shoot a croc or gator
And I’d classify them as a Class 6
Doubt it
This is cotw after all
It will be same gameplay as hunting anything else
yea but i kinda meant the gator mechanics
like, how will they work? on land mostly or in the water mostly?
Well
will we get some kind of boats to persue them?
They said no swimming ever
oh they said we cant swim anymore?
They’ll just float to you
interesting
Bet
We could never swim
Apparently they devs confirmed that swimming will not be added
damn
Wouldn’t call it swimming, just walking in water
They should add energy drinks to cotw, to decrease the rate of that you get tired.
Or sports drinks
GATORade
Get it?
no
Then The game would be full of gator ads
oh nvm
Cotw is going to hunt showdown land lol
TheHunt Call of the swamp
Getting tired in COTW? You can hunt forever without sleeping, can't you? What would you need unhealthy energy drinks for?
I think you misheard something. She doesn't sing New Orleans in the lyrics in the trailer 😉
What about seconds 27-30?
What does it say in those seconds?
..." Cause there ain't no one there... who knows why...
I can hear why your ears could be mislead to hear New Orleans there, but I just do not hear it.
But the map is Louisiana, you agree?
I'm just talking about New Orleans in the text or not. I'm not familiar enough with the US to say where the swamp exactly is 😉
🎶 ~ Go down to the river
I used to call home
I go down to the river
I ain't goin' there alone
Cos' there ain't no one there
Who knows why I've been gone, oh
Go down to the river
Momma won't you carry me home ~ 🎶
It is nice to verify in text what my ears are hearing. I usually have trouble hearing what (some) singers sing.
Song is bangin', but I don't see any possible clues~
Don't think anyone knows who the artist is yet?
GO gator killed the player
It's a woman. That is as far as I can contribute to the guessing.
what r we trying to figure out now??
What the lyrics in the trailer was and who sings it.
ah
shazam gives zero results so this seems to be an original production for the teaser
ohh cool
I never listen to music in (any) game. So I literally do not know. But I think they get music made specifically for the indicidual reserves, don't they?
They are free to exaggerate a little bit, too
The map and animals, the reserves in it’s entirety doesn’t have to be completely realistic to the point you can pinpoint exactly where it could be
There is snow on the poster of the river delta. How far north - upstream Missisippi do we have snow and and temps below freezing point?
Why dumb?
Gators are ok living in areas where the temp is below freezing point in winter time. They "sleep".
It could be far upstream Missisippi?
wouldnt we need boats too?
Sure -- lets have some boats. Have been requested.
I doubt we get boats
nah a boat in the swamps is a must if they wanna do a irl thing
What about drones --- to scan the maps?
ppl do use drones now
But would boats be allowed on any other reserves? Using boats to sit in the water as animals come to their drinking zones seems too easy - easier than what it is now and I don’t think they would just restrict boats to a specific map either.
If they introduce boats, I wonder if they too have reduced hunting presssure, when shooting from it. Like the stands and tripods.
If they do, yeah, I agree with that
Do not think it is any different than standing hidden on the ground -- shooting.
ah
Hello, is anyone also got a diamond on Medved Taïga ?
yes 9 ledg bear
And so have I I found then excellent
Different tastes I guess
All in the preparation
That too
sup
I tried gator once. One piece tasted pretty good, and the next one tasted like rotten fish. Same package.
did you buy it or kill it?
Yup! And the trailer looks very similar to both Rougarou Bayou in Classic (which is in set in Louisiana) and the Atchafalaya Basin, which surrounds an outflow of the Mississippi River. Those cypress swamps are typical of the area from what I've seen in photos and on YouTube. Rougarou Bayou was probably a big inspiration as well. The Delta Blues really screams this too; only some Cajun or Zydeco would make it more so.
@midnight moon bought it from a butcher. I live in Canada so a bit chilly for gators here.
And what they eat
I remember having 2 separate Mule Deer from 2 separate harvests
My first Mule Deer was tough and didn’t taste very good. It was harvested in a dry, crunchy area so that’ll probably explain why.
My second one was amazing and was harvested higher up where there was more stuff to eat. It was more tender to.
That applies to any meat
Yeah, just bringing up an example.
Yeah
The coots I ate I suppose were eating the nasty stuff and that’ll explain why they tasted like dirt
My dad prepared them like ducks as well.
I still think we need Joe Exotic as the new reserve owner but whatever works I guess
He's an endangered species, they wouldn't add him
New season came out today, can’t wait for it
But I do think he would add that nice “crazy southern man” attitude
Havent actually seen first season, but i've seen most of it through meems snd clips
Surprisingly good
His sentence was ridiculous
But good show
Hey I’m just happy we have alligators
Hopefully for the inevitable second Africa, crocodiles are considered
what tier are alligators gonna be
but like what other animals are going to be there
swamp bucks , ducks , hogs and black bears?
raccoons would be nice as a small tier game
Maybe 9
Its the fact that they are dangerous that they are class 9, not the size
oh, ok
Which is also semi realistic since the minimum caliber for lions irl is .375
Meaning that the only weapon we should realistically use on lions in game is the .470
Yeah
Same with the rest of the big five
Minimal caliber is the .375
I personally want a speedloader for Revolvers
That’s what IM SAYING!
Would be such a good addition
also the fact that we could have coon dogs
the blue coon hound from classic could make a return to hunt the cotw raccoons
what they do is they chase the raccoon up a tree
and you just shoot em
Trees don't have hitboxes after a certain point though
I think tree climbing is kind of out of the realm of possibility
Would make the game very laggy
I have no earthly idea how they are planning the alligators
When was this map coming out?
imagine alligators appear next to you
going to pick up a deer and then out of the water bonjour
Personally:
-Gator
-Feral Pig
-Whitetail
-Black Bear
-Wood Duck
-Bobcat
-Raccoon
-Blue Winged Teal
mallard and teal would be nice
This map has to have a few birds
ducks
Snipes
I hope they try and add some baiting mechanisms
OH WAIT I SAW THAT
Throw like a chunk of meat on the ground and an animal comes and eats it
as someone in Louisiana, they can throw a bunch of duck species in this map
And BANG
people hunting crocodiles in africa would kill small game like impala
tie it down to the river bank
and when they come to feed
right in the brain
More birds please
Nah because if I’m walking in Africa 2 and see this in the trees I’m turning off the TV
aCtUaLlY, neck, brainshot ruins the trophy
How are you gonna shoot something in the spine when you can’t even see that it has a neck?
