This bayou map will release Dec 14th or 22nd on pc,def before Xmas. I'm holding onto hope that console will be included as they insist they want SIM release,but wouldnt hold out hope of console getting it before the new year. I think console got the "2nd half map release" in March this year. This will be the ultimate test as to how serious they are on making that happen.

[gilded grove]

So what is all this fun clue stuff about

[stiff leaf]

new map

which we know has gators

[mighty dove]

EW planted clues among some of the reserves hinting towards a new map

They clues themselves give hints about what the new map is gonna be somewhere in Mississippi/Louisiana

[gilded grove]

Well didnt the new trailer have a crocodile in it lol

[mighty dove]

Alligator

[gilded grove]

I mean that narrows it down to like a handful of states

[mighty dove]

Full trailer should be out tomorrow

[gilded grove]

Probably just either Florida or Louisiana

[mighty dove]

This channel was made before they did the teaser

[gilded grove]

Ah

[vestal parcel]

Theres no release date yet, right?

[mighty dove]

Right

[vestal parcel]

oh

[mighty dove]

We are hoping they will give one tomorrow during their stream

[vestal parcel]

nice

[stiff leaf]

assuming map follows regular map schedule, december1-15

[gilded grove]

If its southeast US itll probably have whitetail too

[vestal parcel]

hey, if i kill something, but it too far away and i dont recover the body, stills count as a kill and respawn? or not

[mighty dove]

It will respawn

Won’t be the same, but it will respawn

[gilded grove]

I thought it was confirmed that if you dont claim a kill it spawns the same animal

[mighty dove]

Not anymore

[raven juniper]

If the animal doesn't die after a shot, resetting will heal it

If it dies, all bets are off

[stiff leaf]

very useful when you screw up a shot on an albino red stag (it does work)

[mighty dove]

It used to be like that but then it was abused immensely

[uneven bloom]

or a diamond mulie

[raven juniper]

or a diamond puma

[uneven bloom]

true story with my diamond mulie from Parque. I realized I hit a non-vital and panic-closed the game

[stiff leaf]

or a... wait, i didn't know about this in time to save one of my musk deer!

[mighty dove]

When an animal gets the 25%-50% health and just won’t die

[vestal parcel]

Any of u guys use overlay to pick some highlights of the kills?

[uneven bloom]

???

[vestal parcel]

i need to figerout how to turn of the mic sound when i record

using nvidia overlay

[uneven bloom]

O

[lean mist]

trailer tomorrow?

[uneven bloom]

Most likely!

[shut glacier]

That would be amazimg!

[uneven bloom]

[stiff leaf]

||silent GIF perm flex||

[gilded grove]

So now an animal dying spawns a new one no matter what?

[split charm]

So excited to watch the stream!

[tawdry nebula]

So when

[quaint lintel]

I'm pretty sure we're getting the trailer by the end of the stream

[graceful saffron]

Don't jixn it

[uneven geyser]

will an update come today?

[tawdry nebula]

Nop, just the trailer

[uneven geyser]

ok

[quaint lintel]

The release date is December 10th im pretty sure, hopefully on all platforms

[uneven geyser]

ooh ok thank you (:

[tawdry nebula]

Please

[hidden tusk]

On the YouTube right now

[stiff leaf]

Missisipi Acres

holy

[mighty dove]

I like the name

[hidden tusk]

It's on their cotw trailers

[stiff leaf]

okay so

[valid summit]

I hope it comes out soon

[stiff leaf]

what species does missisipi have

[hidden tusk]

Whitetail for sure

[stiff leaf]

basilisaurus

thats cool

[hidden tusk]

Wild hogs

[valid summit]

Whitetail, gator , raccoon, beaver , birds

My hands are cold so I cant type fast

[quaint lintel]

I told you all 😂

[stiff leaf]

American Alligator

im guessing class 6-9

editing

[spiral dawn]

When will it go live

[stiff leaf]

11 minutes

[quaint lintel]

This is a New Year level of excitement and countdown lol 😂

[mighty dove]

10 minutes before we all kiss 💋

Kiss our screens out of excitement

[raven juniper]

Omai

[mighty dove]

Gray foxes

ONG

[graceful saffron]

Omg I'm actually excited so four new animals and one old I mean I wanted to hunt beaver but I'm ok with this I'm excited

Imma buy me a gift card on the second

Ik there's probably more they ain't show

[midnight moon]

Trailer in 2mins?

[acoustic scarab]

Jaxy let it show early lol

Raccoons, gators , gray fox, WT, and bobwhite quail is what we saw

[stiff leaf]

yes

[midnight moon]

Wait is the trailer already out?

[stiff leaf]

5 out of probably 9

[stiff leaf]

in the stream

yes

[midnight moon]

Did the gators have true-sizes?

[stiff leaf]

premier is almost up rn

[midnight moon]

Or were they all the same size?

[graceful saffron]

So five animals so far I think most of these are gonna be new instead of a bunch of reskins I'm excited omg 😂

[acoustic scarab]

Only showed him me out of water and one swimming

[midnight moon]

If they didnt show it off it probably is not a thing

Which totally ruins the point of gator trophies lol

[acoustic scarab]

Not necessarily

[midnight moon]

Pretty likely though

Ofc not neccesarily

[acoustic scarab]

They didn’t show everything off anyways they never actually do

[stiff leaf]

yukon, im looking at you

[midnight moon]

Id imagine if they actually added tru-sizes they would show it since that would be a big thing

If the gators are all uniform size, then congrats they messed em up lmao

But i will wait and see

[karmic merlin]

raccoon

[spiral dawn]

Quail are cool

[bitter badger]

Yeah those choices are all pretty cool

[cursive cape]

I am stoked on the Racoons, I had hoped for squirell too

[primal flare]

Omg racoons and foxes

[cursive cape]

Racoon Hats hanging in the lodge as a trophy mount...that would be awesome!

[primal flare]

Yea

They might also add racoon hats as clothing to buy

They should

[cursive cape]

that would be cool

[uneven bloom]

Considering we got the trailer, I think this channel's going to get closed up for the next six months soon

[quick grail]

Trailer live on YouTube?

[uneven bloom]

Yep

[golden edge]

Species:
Gray Fox
Bob white quail
Eastern turkey
Eastern cotton tail rabbit
Feral pigs
Black bear
Whitetail deer
Raccoons
Alligator

[uneven bloom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeVIoI48veU

[tacit current]

LEST GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the acromym for the new map is literally MAP lol

[spiral dawn]

These are all the confirmed species?

I cant watch the trailer right now

[golden edge]

Yes

There in the description

[quaint lintel]

I'm so proud right now as an American 🇺🇸

[uneven bloom]

you know, I somehow failed to realize I should check the description jafk;sdjk

[acoustic scarab]

So did I lol

I guessed eastern cottontail last night as well

[mossy atlas]

whose excited about whitetail again?? what about pheasan...oops I mean quail, or what about more foxes to hunt... big no thanks from me

[acoustic scarab]

What lol that’s southern America hunting right there you ain’t getting no better lol

[mossy atlas]

<not from america , 5th NA map is a big NO THANKS

[acoustic scarab]

Was also said during stream other places are being explored

[uneven bloom]

Devs are following a roadmap.

[acoustic scarab]

Sorry you feel that way tho, but people from the southern part of the US are pretty stoked right now I would say

I can’t wait to shoot an Albino Racooon

[spiral dawn]

Quail are extremely different than Pheasant, Im excited theyre adding more small game options like raccoon

[mossy atlas]

the trailer makes them look the same

[acoustic scarab]

Well you have to flush them yes but it’s way different

Coming from someone who quail hunts they are really fun

[spiral dawn]

they behave like a bird

lots of animals behave the same

[acoustic scarab]

I hope they get the signature call from them right

One reason they are called bobwhite quail is the sound they make

[mossy atlas]

it's how they code them though, looks like they just copy pasted pheasant onto different looking animal to me

[spiral dawn]

you can say that about a lot of their animals its just the premise

millions of different deer species that are all the same but thats hunting right

[hidden quest]

Don’t skin the bear before you shoot it😉

[mossy atlas]

I think the biggest weird thing for me is why more Foxes? I don't and don't know anyone who ever goes after foxes on the maps they are already on

[acoustic scarab]

Why not more fox ? Gray fox is fun

[golden edge]

There's only 1 other type of fox in game which is the red, which are only on 2 other maps. Grey fox are a different subspecies

[midnight moon]

I do lmao I’m a big predator and small game guy

[mossy atlas]

but like no ducks in a swampy map

[spiral dawn]

They’re probably just waiting to rework ducks

[tiny quiver]

Have they show the map yet

[golden edge]

Waterfowl>Feral pigs

[mighty dove]

Yes

And I love that we have another species of fox

[spiral dawn]

Ducks are broken on console anyway idk about pc

[tawdry nebula]

Where are the ducks 🙂?

[spiral dawn]

ducks dont fly in on console

[tiny quiver]

Is there a species list yet

[golden edge]

Species:
Gray Fox
Bob white quail
Eastern turkey
Eastern cotton tail rabbit
Feral pigs
Black bear
Whitetail deer
Raccoons
Alligator

[mossy atlas]

ducks are pretty messed up on pc too

[raven juniper]

where are half of those confirmed?

[mossy atlas]

they sit in middle of massive lakes even with decoys around them

[golden edge]

Trailer description

[mighty dove]

Description

[raven juniper]

oh?

hecc

[tiny quiver]

Happy for the quail and raccoons now

Sad for no ducks

[spiral dawn]

alligator raccoon multimount when

[quaint lintel]

Lol, I just read the description, 9 SPECIES, and wow what a Species!

[tawdry nebula]

Why no ducks 🙂

[spiral dawn]

ducks broken

[mighty dove]

Because they need to be reworked

[uneven bloom]

Probably because the duck rework hasn't launched yet.

That comes early next year.

[tiny quiver]

I’m a little happy because more small game now

[mighty dove]

They are not going to add a species that has issues

[uneven bloom]

tbh, this opens up possibility for a Florida map down the line

[mighty dove]

If they did people would be like “why did they add them to the game if they don’t work”

[tawdry nebula]

I mean after rework are they gonna added it?

[uneven bloom]

Possibly?

[mighty dove]

Possibly 😄

[tiny quiver]

A little sad for no ducks but very happy for quail and raccoons

[quaint lintel]

Kinda weird tho to make a swamp map and don't add at least one duck lol 😂

[tawdry nebula]

I don’t think so, we have already 9 species

[tawdry nebula]

True

[raven juniper]

thanks, I just got home and started looking at things finally

[spiral dawn]

Probably just gonna make a map down the line thats all waterfowl

[hidden quest]

shooting class 1 animals with a bolt-action rifle will be so hot🥵

[quaint lintel]

470 it is!!! 😂

[tawdry nebula]

I liked the gray fox

And the quail as well

[raven juniper]

do y'all know/think if the .22H will be 1-2?

[quaint lintel]

But jokes aside, we can't deny how breathtaking this reserve looks!!

[hidden quest]

it said it was good for smol predators

and I’d imagine it is not only for class 2

[mighty dove]

😄

I can’t wait

Taking that whole week off

You’re right

[raven juniper]

I mean

is hornet a brand name?

[spiral dawn]

Yea what does the H stand for

[raven juniper]

it could just be straight up .22 hornet

[mighty dove]

I am just happy we are getting another small game gun

[raven juniper]

also

[brittle agate]

Hi guys, do you know anything about the new weapon that comes with the new map?

[raven juniper]

look at this sass

[spiral dawn]

I just realized your name 😂 I saw that on some dudes shitbox the other day

[mighty dove]

😍

[spiral dawn]

It’s a .22H for small game

[hidden quest]

Kullman .22H

bolt-action 🥵

[tawdry nebula]

I liked this fields so much, it’s so BEAUTIFUL

[spiral dawn]

Mm cotton fields

very pretty

[brittle agate]

Really? Confirmed?

[raven juniper]

description of trailer

[hidden quest]

yes, Kullman .22H Bolt-Action

[midnight moon]

i wanted my louisiana 😭

[raven juniper]

hm, you know

here's an idea

[supple ledge]

Dudeeeee

[raven juniper]

before this channel is closed, mebbe we can pin this

[supple ledge]

GREY FOX

[spiral dawn]

Whoever mentioned the delta blues was correct then for the region, cotton is mainly grown in the delta region of Mississippi

[glad abyss]

no ducks

:c

[primal flare]

The waterfowl that we might get:
American black duck
Wood duck
Mallard
Gadwall
Northern pintail

[bleak panther]

:(

[uneven bloom]

@bleak panther keep it appropriate please.

[raven juniper]

*Nicknamed the “Magnolia State” – a nod to the beautiful Magnolia Trees that grow in the region – Mississippi Acres Preserve holds a special place in the hearts of hunters. Not only because of its stunning landscapes, where distinctive wetlands and bluffs meet pine forests and murky rivers, but also for its characteristic wildlife. Wherever you decide to go, experience exceptional hunting and outdoor adventures in Mississippi Acres Preserve.

DELTA HUNTING
Stalk the Gray Fox as it gracefully traverses the forest floor, or flush skittish Northern Bobwhite Quails and Eastern Wild Turkey from their hiding spots. Catch the nimble Eastern Cottontail Rabbit as it darts through the underbrush, swiftly moving to avoid the Feral Pigs, Black Bears and Whitetail Deer that roam nearby.
In man-made areas, don’t be surprised to see the Common Raccoon raid garbage cans and cause havoc. These little bandits are no joke. But most importantly, never lower your guard near rivers or freshwater – the patient American Alligator lurks in the murky depths, waiting for the perfect moment to ambush its prey.

KULLMAN .22H
This classic bolt-action rifle is the perfect tool for small game hunting. Chambered in .22H, and available in three distinct variations, it is both reliable and powerful enough to keep small predators away from your property and livestock. Thanks to its lightweight yet robust frame, the Kullman .22H makes for an ideal rifle to carry with you during long hunts.

BUMP IN THE NIGHT
Mississippi Acres Preserve has been left devastated by the worst flooding in a decade, swamping entire communities and forcing its residents to flee their homes. Members of two local rival hunting clubs have chosen to form an uneasy alliance in an attempt to help the community get back on its feet. However, things aren’t what they seem, and when warden Immi Davis finds herself in the middle of a sinister conspiracy, things quickly take a turn for the worse. Can you help her uncover the truth?*

[bleak panther]

My bad

It would be very poggers if we get a boat

[primal flare]

Yea

[stiff leaf]

List of species: Raccoon, American Alligator, Cottontail Rabbit, Eastern Wild Turkey, Bobwhite Quail, Whitetailed Deer, Gray Fox, Feral Pig, Black Bear

[glad abyss]

ducks :C

[frail tendon]

wait.... side missions possibly

[supple ledge]

Quail boutta be hella fun to hunt

[bleak panther]

Definitly

[supple ledge]

Feral Pig or Wild Boar?

[tiny quiver]

IKR

[glad abyss]

Feral pig it seems

[spiral dawn]

The map is located in North West Mississippi interesting instead of on the Gulf of Mexico

[primal flare]

Oh the side missions are gonna be so fun

[bleak panther]

Another 22 is going to be interesting

[candid cliff]

I’m happy to get gray fox and bobwhites

[tiny quiver]

What weapons possibly

[bleak panther]

Unless they give it class 2 and make it a different variation such as 22 mag

[hidden quest]

.

[frail tendon]

...
Kullman .22H
thats it

[supple ledge]

This map is gonna be so fun to hunt

[tiny quiver]

Belt fed 22 lol

[bleak panther]

Brr

[candid cliff]

I would assume since raccoon and fox are class 2

[primal flare]

Im guessing gators are gonna be class 7

[bleak panther]

How do you hunt gators and have fun without a boat

[midnight moon]

All I want is a black bear remodel

[candid cliff]

I hope we get ducks later on

[keen belfry]

Alligators are probably gonna be class 5 or 7. I’m gonna guess 5

[bleak panther]

Since they swim

[supple ledge]

I was hoping for Wood Ducks

[bleak panther]

That would be great

[supple ledge]

And did y’all get the two wardens?

[candid cliff]

U can probably shoot them in the head then let them float to you

[supple ledge]

Wonder what this means

[candid cliff]

Wood ducks or pintails

[bleak panther]

Not very sportsmanlike is it?

[candid cliff]

Depends on you

[bleak panther]

Shooting them in the head from 200 meters

[candid cliff]

How would you do it in a boat

[bleak panther]

Give them an attack

[keen belfry]

I heard two different voices, yet the desc only has the warden’s name

[spiral dawn]

Normally people hunt gators from boats

[bleak panther]

Yes

[spiral dawn]

They hook and bang stick them

[bleak panther]

I want to be able to hunt them aggro

[tiny quiver]

They bait them then they sheet them on a line

[spiral dawn]

lol

[candid cliff]

I know but either way ur shooting them in the head

[spiral dawn]

The typical way of hunting gators doesnt fit the hunter cotw

[bleak panther]

Not yet.

[tiny quiver]

I may b the only one that is waiting to see the rabbits

[uneven bloom]

I'm thinking Eastern Turkeys might have a slightly different weight range compared to the other two

[candid cliff]

I do but I hate trying to get a diamond of them

[uneven bloom]

they're the Big Ones

[primal flare]

They need to add predator bait to hunt gators

[spiral dawn]

Oh yea forgot the turkeys

[bleak panther]

Eastern are the largest of the North American turkey species

[tiny quiver]

Yeah they hard to get diamond off of

[uneven bloom]

and I'm excited to see those because we get them up where I live

[bleak panther]

Same

[tiny quiver]

Same

[hidden quest]

I am excited to grab the Kullman and blast everything smol

[bleak panther]

Indiana

[candid cliff]

Hopefully we get the other 3 species for a grand slam

[spiral dawn]

They are definitely going to have a Florida map because of Osceola turkeys. People want all 5, so they will probably put ducks on the florida map guaranteed

[uneven bloom]

Ocellated is already a no due to the iridescence not playing nicely with the game engine iirc

[spiral dawn]

just remembered that

[uneven bloom]

if we at least get the Osceola though, I'll be happy

[bleak panther]

Dang

[uneven bloom]

Eastern, Merriam, Rio Grande, and Osceola are the four I know from Bird Hunter 2003

[candid cliff]

So another Mexico map with coues deer and goulds

Maybe Barbary Sheep as well

[bleak panther]

My vote goes to a map out of America this year

[warm basin]

I find it a little weird that there's no ducks but I do like the map

[candid cliff]

I know but we said before they can’t add Ocellated and Florida will probably have ducks and Osceolas

[supple ledge]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they do end up adding some type of ducks

[scenic zephyr]

I can’t wait for the Mississippi map

[supple ledge]

Pintails, some type of teal, wood ducks, or they reuse Mallards

[bleak panther]

Raccoons in trash bins bouta be easy cash

[scenic zephyr]

Yep

[inland isle]

new map has a trailer park, 10/10 immersion

[warm basin]

^

[candid cliff]

Yes if you are doing a grand slam it is but if your doing the U.S slam it isn’t

[scenic zephyr]

I can’t wait to kill a actual dinosaur

[inland isle]

used to live in the southern US, am well aware and amped for the trailer park experience

[bleak panther]

I wonder if they'll have a soft spot on the head like the ones irl

[warm basin]

The warden better call me sugar

[golden edge]

Biggest, loudest, and compete I belive with the Osceola for biggest beards

[inland isle]

I better get a "bless your heart" when shooting an animal too small for mission requirements

[midnight moon]

You better call the warden big momma

[opaque shard]

Wait so when they do a waterfowl rework will they even add the ducks to this map?

[warm basin]

U ant from down here shh

[warm basin]

Maybe

[opaque shard]

It seems to be a bit much to handle with already 9 species no?

[warm basin]

I believe there's 10

[inland isle]

wood duck would be sick on that map

[supple ledge]

Hunting whitetails in those fields is gonna be fun

[opaque shard]

I mean it would be kinda anticlimatic if we only got one new duck species for this kind of map and the hype around the rework

[uneven bloom]

No ducks unfortunately

which does make sense, given the upcoming waterfowl rework

[opaque shard]

But maybe they will do another map..

[hollow tapir]

wait there gonna be a waterfowl rework?

[uneven bloom]

Early next year, yes

[inland isle]

they need to add this from classic into COTW now

[supple ledge]

This’ll be the last map of the year but they will announce another in January

[opaque shard]

They need to add alot from classic tbh

[quaint lintel]

Man I love when they add a U.S. map to the game!

[fair wren]

i love the look of this new map its going to be so awesome

and the fact it looks like EVERYONE will get it on the same day makes it even more cool console players not being left behind.

[spiral dawn]

America is for the chad hunters, 1st chad hunters would be Africa if we could hunt elephants etc but theyll never do that

[opaque shard]

Its great and all honestly, but how many more NA maps are we going to get, the only more NA map I could see would be an arctic one

[uneven bloom]

and a Florida one

[spiral dawn]

I dont trust their word, theyve said plenty of times before it would be released at same time then dont

[opaque shard]

I would not buy another southern map (florida) just for ducks i mean

[spiral dawn]

dont get your hopes up

[uneven bloom]

I would.

[spiral dawn]

nah

keep word on promises then maybe ill believe your track record

[uneven bloom]

it'd more than likely have the last turkey species I recognize from an older game I obsessed over

[fair wren]

Well yes im not holding my breath but for now im hoping they are going to turn over a new leaf n we all get it at the same time lol

[spiral dawn]

maybe

[opaque shard]

Regarding the duck question I think they could like "distribute" species thorughout diffrent maps that dont have or need more species

[warm basin]

Yall focuse more on where maps are located then the species the only reason NA gets used alot is bc its the most diverse

[spiral dawn]

America numero uno

[opaque shard]

Fam we are discussing the species rn wth

[warm basin]

Talking about the other people that complain that it's another NA map

[fair wren]

Im not fussed that we have a lot of NA maps i love seeing the NA maps as its such a beautiful place and there is such a vast majority of different species of animals.

[scenic charm]

We need a Texas map that would be nice could have a lot of species on it

[opaque shard]

I just want ducks man but i cant realistacly see this game having more than 10 species on a map

Thats why i wrote a suggestion on how they maybe could do reagarding the ducks

And I dont want another NA map for the 100th time

[inland isle]

aside from florida and texas I'm not sure what else they could really do with NA

[opaque shard]

Maybe artic?

[fair wren]

Texas would be interesting and so would one around areas like Montana and Colorado

[inland isle]

Idk if they would since they have medved

[opaque shard]

I mean medved is pretty dead

And i feel like the devs are saving species to add for an arctic one

[inland isle]

true, and a WRR type map would be pretty neat with snow geese though

[fair wren]

medved is a very bad map tbh u never see anything on there

[inland isle]

I shot my first diamond on medved lol

[warm basin]

U gotta know how to hunt it

[opaque shard]

Its a very fun map in the early morings actually

But its just, obselete so to speak

And forgotten

[fair wren]

iv never had any fun on there tbh only ever see moose that r legging it at a million miles an hr lol

[raven juniper]

Arctic NA is hopefully coming eventually

[scenic charm]

Pronghorn
Mule Deer
Coyote
Bobcat
Coons
Badger
Wild Boar
Bighorn Sheep
God knows how many fox species
Gators
Cougars
List goes on and on for Texas map possibilities

[fair wren]

an Alaska map would be super cool

[scenic charm]

That’s what Yukon is

[spiral dawn]

Polar bear

[scenic charm]

Endangered I believe

[fair wren]

more rural than Yukon

[opaque shard]

I want a NA map like classics

I mean arctic

[fair wren]

iv never played classic as my pc is just not good enough

[spiral dawn]

Its on classic and they said theyd add everything from classic I believe

[opaque shard]

It does not require a whole lot

[scenic charm]

Maybe then

It would be cool

[inland isle]

you can run classic on a toaster almost, my brother played it on an ancient laptop with no gpu

[warm basin]

They already said no to all endangered animals

[uneven bloom]

Polar bears are vulnerable, so it's possible

[opaque shard]

Wait so does that mean that we will one day get kangeroos?

[uneven bloom]

but the legality on them requires people to get the permits from native tribes

I think

that or only indigenous people are allowed to hunt them, period

[pliant walrus]

Just watched the trailer for the new map in Mississippi and omg the alligators look so cool

[inland isle]

if they did a VDB/Bushrangers map next I'd be super happy

[bitter badger]

Polar bears can be hunted in Canada, but not the US (except by tribes) as far as I know

[raven juniper]

That could hopefully be waved as 'just a game' for the purposes of COTW

[fair wren]

so what guns do we think will be what we need for taking the gators with a nice score on them

[raven juniper]

Class 7 is my bet

[scenic charm]

Ye around 6-8

[bitter badger]

How much longer is this channel supposed to stick around since we know all the details now?

[stiff leaf]

12

[warm basin]

Not long if I had to guess

[raven juniper]

Did clues stick around until Rancho PC release last time?

Can't honestly remember

[warm basin]

I don't think so

[bitter badger]

Honestly don’t even remember

[warm basin]

I stopped paying attention once they revealed the map

[raven juniper]

If not then probably today, or within the next few days

[unreal briar]

https://youtu.be/VeVIoI48veU

[unreal briar]

ill just leave it there in the pinned messages just in case

[quaint lintel]

Imagine a gator great one, huuuge alligator with scars and missing few teeth! Hopefully one day 🤞🏻

[raven juniper]

okay, so

Last time, clues chat was hidden June 15

Patchnotes for Rancho released 22nd, and proper release was 29th

since MAP releases Dec 7th, then we'll get patchnotes the 30th of this month, and this channel should be hidden today

[mellow barn]

Good chance this channel will be hidden very soon. 🙂

[wind ridge]

That's right, according to the clues, the teaser and the trailer, we all know that the next map will be Australia (?

[stiff leaf]

wot

nah

its probably something else but who cares for now

[tulip hawk]

Noooo

[cyan sundial]

The 4 new animals are definitely a welcomed addition

Raccoons with a .22 Rifle

[stiff leaf]

pew

i think they'll be class 2/3

[cyan sundial]

Could be

But class 1 looks more likely

[bleak panther]

22 hornet has a bit higher velocity than a 22lr

It will probably be a class 2 rifle

[limber cliff]

I've honestly been dying for a 1-2, then I can cover all my bases in class ratings

[bleak panther]

I just don't think they will add a class 1 bolt action rifle and expect the community to use it over a semi auto

[raven juniper]

A 1-2 rifle tho

that's gonna be very interesting

[frail tusk]

This map looks way better than I was expecting

I love the cotton fields

[midnight moon]

What a great one gator would be in a nutshell

Lvl 3-4 is a small adult, lvl 5-6 is around the average male adult, lvl 7-8 is a large male, lvl 9 is the largest gator as per skulls on record and lvl 10 fabled would then be the largest gator with measurment mentioned in literature as is shown above.

I hope they get true sizes and that they are around that area

Gray fox, Bobwhite quails, eastern wild Turkey, eastern cottontail rabbit, feral pigs, black bear, whitetail, raccoon and American alligator. The weapon with the map is a .22 hornet.

Here’s the info for anyone

As of so far

And that’s all been confirmed?

.22 Hornet on class 3's would be interesting.

[raven juniper]

yes

look at the description of the trailer

[midnight moon]

Haven’t been able to at work

A few of the people I know shoot roe deer with it and double lung them It is a powerful little round for sure.

What class do yall think the gators will be?

9

All predators/carnivores are 9

No, weapon class

Not lvl

Lel

[stiff leaf]

no

lynx, coyote, bobcat etc

[midnight moon]

Yeah

Id say class 7 or 8 would be good for gators

Yeah

They are though but def not class 9

As far as I'm aware there's never been a predator species under 9.

And Indeed agree with you on that one.

[midnight moon]

We are not talking about level

We are talking about weapon class

[midnight moon]

They are.

As for level they should definitely be 3-9

Unless they also got confused aha.

[midnight moon]

9 being diamonds

But we were not talking about the level, we are talking about the WEAPON CLASS

I know that chief.

Mistake at first obviously.

Ah fair

Its a mistake chain!

Phat gator

mmmm chonk

I misread then they also misread 😅 Because It was obvious I was confused and was talking about level and they swoop in and say not all predators Class Is 9 aha.

So Mississippi is now the Biggest Species Variety map confirmed?

[raven juniper]

define variety?

by number of species total?

[midnight moon]

I guess so besides erh vurhonga I guess?

@raven juniper yea

Cause I think Africa only has 8 the new map will have 9

[raven juniper]

MAP has 9 species

[midnight moon]

Ahh I see

[raven juniper]

Vurhonga also has 9 species

[midnight moon]

There are birds, reptiles (yes, i know birds are reptiles but they both have different fields of study) and mammals so yes in that regard, it also sure does

[raven juniper]

Cuatro also has 9

[midnight moon]

Oh yea they do

Nvm I retract that statement

Map Is a weird way to short hand the actual well map It has I guess 3 meanings, Map, bad people, and Animation projects.

[spiral dawn]

good ol mississippi

[raven juniper]

I propose Acres as a shorthand

better than mississippi

but MAP should be the official acronym

[coarse lintel]

Cuatro has 10, euro hares, 4 ibex, red deer, roe deer, wild boar, mouflons and wolves

[raven juniper]

oh yeah

[supple ledge]

Just realized they missed an opportunity to add a .17 HMR

[raven juniper]

you're totally right

[midnight moon]

I forgot about that

[raven juniper]

I dunno how I counted 9

[coarse lintel]

I mean if 22h is 22 hornet, then I think it'll be better then a 17hmr

I'm kinda sad were not getting a 308, but I know the mosin is similar to it

[tiny quiver]

17 hmr shell

A little bigger than 22

[raven juniper]

can you compare 17 HMR to 22H?

[coarse lintel]

This is 22 hornet

[tiny quiver]

I don’t have a 22 h shell sadly

I did but lost it I guess

17 hmr compared to 22 lr

[midnight moon]

I'm not entirely sure what .17 Is the most common but .22 hornet Is quite chunk tbh.

Enough to kill roe deer with lung shots If that gives you any idea.

[frail tendon]

im guessing .17 hmr is the homady magnum rimfire

[midnight moon]

That would make sense.

Quite a bit smaller VS hornet then.

[supple ledge]

Correct

[hidden quest]

10 actually

[cyan sundial]

Dam the .22 hornet looks mean in comparison to the .22 Mag

[raven juniper]

we went through that already a bit further down~

[hidden quest]

I should put the fact that I am stupid in my bio lol

[stiff leaf]

yes

up to u tho

[cyan sundial]

So the new weapon is a .22 Hornet Rifle?

[stiff leaf]

si

[cyan sundial]

And it’s class?

Is it 1-2?

[stiff leaf]

dunno

def class 1-something

[cyan sundial]

Idk

I remember my dad telling me that he accidentally used a .22 Mag on a cottentail hare and blew it to pieces

.22 Hornet would probably turn one into ashes on the spot

[hidden quest]

done

[hidden quest]

And I will go to sleep now, that’s probably why I am extra dumb right now. Don’t burn this place down while I’m gone plz.

[tame heath]

I think it’s gonna be closer to a .22 magnum than a .22 hornet in mechanics.

Call of The Wild tends to underpower their weapons. The .270 shoots like a .243 and the .243 shoots like a .223 or .22 hornet. I would expect the .22 hornet to be more like a .22 magnum in knockdown power. Even the .338/.300 are underpowered. They shoot more like how a .270 or .30-06 would shoot. Then the .454/.470 are as powerful as the .338/.300 should be.

[frail tusk]

Is it bad that I'm super hyped for Eastern turkeys lmao

[deep hearth]

Wait we are getting more turkeys?

[frail tusk]

Yeah

And quail

[stiff leaf]

List of species: Raccoon, American Alligator, Cottontail Rabbit, Eastern Wild Turkey, Bobwhite Quail, Whitetailed Deer, Gray Fox, Feral Pig, Black Bear

[frail tusk]

It's a shame there's no waterfowl

I hope MAP at least get mallards with the waterfowl rework

So we can at least get a change of scenery from Layton

[deep hearth]

Yay more turkeys

[frail tusk]

Love how diverse this map is

Good mix of big and small game

[gaunt storm]

I hope so. Would be nice to have a weapon that isn't limited to class 1

[split agate]

I wouldn't be surprised if they added several duck species to the map with the rework, and along side a DLC for a retriever of some sort.

They rarely just add a DLC without some content to justify it.

[jolly magnet]

Kinda bugs me that there is no waterfowl that we know of

There could always be a chance of mallards or somthing but that is slim

[split agate]

I think they are holding them back until the rework. There is no point in adding in boring mallards now when they can add in Classic-style ducks in Spring

[jolly magnet]

I would still perfer to have ducks be there then not

for the aethetic

[split agate]

I hear ya

[jolly magnet]

and i hope that racoons and the animals actually interact with the environment like how it was digging in the trashcan.

[split agate]

That will be cool, but I have my doubts. At the end of the trailer it states "not all images appear in game". But you never know. On the other hand it says "don’t be surprised to see the Common Raccoon raid garbage cans and cause havoc."

[limber cliff]

you misspelled 'fit'

[midnight moon]

He is a chonker though

[limber cliff]

But in gator terms, that do be good

I still hold a torch for snow geese, or more geese in general

[gaunt storm]

The gator swimming low proflie in the trailer looks smaller the the one on land hissing. I'm thinking the gators will have different model sizes

And I'm saying that based on the length between the eyes and the tip of its nose

[midnight moon]

Trust me angles can play tricks

Badly

[gaunt storm]

The one from the teaser also looks smaller

Than the one on land in the release

[midnight moon]

I am not gonna get my hopes up until we actually get the map and it is confirmed

[gaunt storm]

Still, that one strikes me as 8 or 9 footer, while the hisser strikes me as 13 or more

Also, we better have boats with this much water

[midnight moon]

Depends really, if the player is upright it would easily be 13-14,5ft but if they are just crotching then it could just as well be 8ft

[gaunt storm]

We'll see

Again though, with that much water, I ain't spending 30 minutes walking around the water to retrieve my GO whitetail because there isn't a lodge on that side

[midnight moon]

I just listened to the trailer and i love how they say "the indominable american alligator" while there is a american crocodile named Goliath that literally slaughtered 9 fucking big alligators lol (american crocs are among the most docile true crocodiles too btw)

XD

[midnight moon]

The thing is if they had boats, they would have shown em off

[gaunt storm]

Or, would they?

[midnight moon]

I think so?

[gaunt storm]

No map has ever introduced a new vehicle

So we wouldn't know

[midnight moon]

It is a pretty crucial part and a huge motivator to buy the map not putting it in the trailer would be utterly stupid marketing wise

[gaunt storm]

Fair enough, but it's not like you could use it on other maps, unlike a new weapon

They do have boat models and surface-traversing mechanics, as the gators and floating dead animals demonstrate

[stiff leaf]

and the cuatro boat

[midnight moon]

If anything it would just be a fast travel thing, not a boat that you can actually manually steer i think

I hope i am wrong though ofc

[open kelp]

For a second I thought this was a monkey riding a gator

[amber kiln]

What cuatro one?

Where at? How have I missed it?!?!

[quaint lintel]

On the river that goes through the middle of the map

[frail tusk]

Where on the river

[vivid cosmos]

The roster of animals is lit as hell

Still not pumped about no ducks

[raven juniper]

There's less ducks than I expected

[vivid cosmos]

Me too

[raven juniper]

But considering it's heccin Mississippi, and that there's a waterfowl rework coming soon

We might get at least one duck species added after the rework

Would make MAP the second reserve with 10 animals

[vivid cosmos]

I hope so

[uneven bloom]

Yeah I have a feeling they're holding back on the ducks until the rework comes around

[frail tusk]

I hope we at least get mallards on the map

Ideally we'd get like pintails and teals too

[raven juniper]

I believe the current list is final, for now

It is 9 species already

[warm basin]

I really hope the feral pigs on Mississippi don't have the same furs from NZ the hogs here look more like boars

[vivid cosmos]

Racoon feed zone will be trashcans

[raven juniper]

You know, I really don't know what to think of this

I was hoping for feral hogs

Which yeh, duh, probably about the same as feral pigs, but the hogs in classic have very different fur than feral pigs

[warm basin]

Well just have to see but since I'm from around those parts I perfer to see em do it right

[frail tusk]

I don't really like the feral pig fur types tbh

The pink ones I mean

They're way too bright

The others are fine

[raven juniper]

Then again I'm not too into bacon in COTW, so probably won't hunt them much anyway

[vivid cosmos]

Im not as excited as I was for rancho but the new maps are always so beautiful

[tacit current]

that gon be ez ah to hunt

[vivid cosmos]

Yup

[raven juniper]

Honestly the thing I'm hyped the most about is the music

and I'm dying to know who the hecc did the song for the teaser

[warm basin]

It's a real song

[raven juniper]

I mean it seems to be the leitmotif for the entire reserve

[warm basin]

Big word hurts brain

[raven juniper]

I'm sure it's been commissioned for this map~

I'm just patiently waiting for them to give credit

[warm basin]

Yea

[jaunty pine]

Is the kullman.22H the new 243

[uneven bloom]

No one knows what class range it is yet, aside from very likely covering Class 2

[jaunty pine]

Ok I just figured since it’s a bolt action it will cover more than just class 2

[warm basin]

What's the name of the song used in the trailer

[tacit current]

am i the only person who is just as excited that we are getting simultaneous launch as the fact that we are getting gators and a new map

that is HUGE for the community

thank you EW

[coarse lintel]

It's kinda more comparable to the 223

[static dagger]

ok thank you👍

[pure lantern]

I wonder when content creator access starts...

[gaunt storm]

Prolly Nov 30 or December 1st

[pure lantern]

sweet i can't wait for this map

and across the board releases too 🙂

[gaunt storm]

I'm guessing that cos it's like a week early

We better get a stream of Mississippi on the 30th

[gaunt storm]

It's original

[simple silo]

So racoon was 100% not in game model🤣 Hope they not gonna mess it up

[midnight moon]

Probably 1-2 i hope so

[raw otter]

What do you mean? That wasn't how the racoon will look in game? Ouch...
I'm honestly worried they're going to be tethered to the trash cans like some rabbits are to burrows. I will be disappointed if they added raccoons and don't let them climbs trees. At that point, why bother with them over something else?

Something I am pumped for is that grey fox. The model looks as good as the jackal model looks bad, lol.

[gaunt storm]

There should be a scale type called "Randall"
"Mama, another gator got in the house."
"Another gator? Give me that shovel!"

[simple silo]

I'll wait for gameplay first. Animation quality is way too good to be true for EW😉

[limber cliff]

Did they say that?

[lethal karma]

So its confirmed we are getting raccoons as well?

I just watched the traiker

[keen locust]

Pretty sure they said all footage was captured in game on pc, just being a hater

[lethal karma]

xD

[amber kiln]

Has anyone thought maybe they meant feral hogs? Like the ones in classic

[opaque shard]

Its most likey the ones like from NZ

In my opinion, classics feral hogs tend to look more like wild boar, cotw ones are more colourful, espacially the pink ones and look more like well feral pigs but I do want more darker colours of the wild boar for the feral pigs like classics hogs

[warm basin]

NZ feral pigs arnt gonna work on mississpi feral hogs would be perfect

[midnight moon]

Feral hogs are just glorified wild boar I’m glad we are getting feral hogs on a new map

[warm basin]

Well the hogs here are just wild boar look alike they don't look like NZ pigs what so ever

[midnight moon]

I get it but man at least it’s something different and don’t act like they won’t get a remoldel to fit both maps like man it’s that or our 4 wild boar map

[warm basin]

I hope they get a remodel

[midnight moon]

They will same with the horrible black bears

[lean mist]

are you sure?

crap

[midnight moon]

Yeah I am my bad all the returning species on Rancho got a remodel so yeah I assumed

[midnight moon]

No makes sense though

True true but honesty none where bad to begin with (except the coyote) so I guess it’s a wish we would get good black bears but hey idk

[stoic tiger]

well it's not 2005 anymore, a proper animal model is dirt cheap nowadays.

[uneven bloom]

Class 1-2 rifle

[raven juniper]

Oooh

[uneven bloom]

I think that's going to replace the regular .22 in my usual loadouts

[raven juniper]

Oh I love the wood furniture one

[uneven bloom]

...ah, but now the regular .22 is inventory clutter

I dislike inventory clutter

[raven juniper]

Not really~

Remember this is a bolt action

Virant is semi auto and with a much larger mag

[uneven bloom]

Truuue

[stiff leaf]

oh cool

1-2

musk deer slayer 2.0

[uneven bloom]

.243 still best for smaller animals on Medved

[raven juniper]

If you're hard focusing ducks and geese, you still want the quick followup

[uneven bloom]

can take both lynx and the muskies

[raven juniper]

Methinks

[stiff leaf]

true

but i can be lazy and not take it off

[raven juniper]

This will be a good turkey n varmint gun tho

Rancho too, mebbe

[uneven bloom]

Was just thinking that

[raven juniper]

This for yotes and turkeys, Mosin for everything else

It's a power upgrade from Virant + .243

[stiff leaf]

.22H, mosin, .300

classes 1-2, 3-7, 7-9

all of em

[raven juniper]

And with little compromise~

[uneven bloom]

doesn't say how heavy the .22H is though

[raven juniper]

Am expecting it to be the same as the .223

I just hope it's flatter shootin

If it gives us a 300m zero that's actually 250m Imma be sad

I like this tho

I love the wood furniture

[uneven bloom]

I like the green one

[raven juniper]

I'm half expecting the green one to be the mission unlockable~

[uneven bloom]

Same

[stiff leaf]

i like the .22H more than the .22H

.22H looks better than .22H imo

[raven juniper]

Wuh

[frail tendon]

so it's like the .223 semi in classic, but slightly weaker

and not semi auto

[raven juniper]

So not the .223 semi in classic at all~

[frail tendon]

yeah

[raven juniper]

Yeah this one is new from both games I think

I'm fairly certain classic doesn't have 22H

It has LR and air rifle pellets

[frail tendon]

yeah it doesnt

[raven juniper]

Mebbe the closest thing to classic would be the .17 HMR

From ethical list and kinda the size of the bullet

[midnight moon]

.22H will probably act somewhat like the .17 In Classic OP AF but only small species.

[uneven bloom]

How are people getting these screenshots already?

[winged topaz]

i don't know...

[karmic merlin]

instagram

[stiff leaf]

1. hacks, 2) something leaked 3) trailer/teaser had something we didn't know?

[midnight moon]

Insta

[midnight moon]

Instagram

[uneven bloom]

From official pages?

[karmic merlin]

yea

[midnight moon]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CWqptu_lCr8/?utm_medium=copy_link

[karmic merlin]

^

[midnight moon]

Yes

[uneven bloom]

Huh

didn't know there was an Insta page

[karmic merlin]

they release a lot of info there

[stiff leaf]

oh

[karmic merlin]

stuff they don’t other places

[stiff leaf]

cool

[midnight moon]

The thing that gets me is that they usually wait 3 days before showing anything

[uneven bloom]

Faster they get it all out themselves, less time there is for other people to do it first through less-scrupulous means

[midnight moon]

When has anyone leaked anything

[spiral dawn]

pov: harassing the new gators

[midnight moon]

what in the Florida

[tawdry nebula]

Yes, using gators as boats!

[mellow barn]

Is that an alliskater?

[karmic merlin]

early access albino raccoon

[stiff leaf]

cute

[bitter badger]

New gun looks pretty cool, I have my grandpas savage mk2 and it looks practically identical other than the stock

[cyan sundial]

A 1-2 rifle?

Interesting

[rich pendant]

hmmm

thats some great effective range too. dang

[cyan sundial]

RIP .22 Semi

Although it’s still a good gun

[rich pendant]

you could probably still make a case for the virant since it is semi miiight be better for downing multiple animals

but.. yeah think once its out my varmint gun of choice is the .22H lol

[stiff leaf]

gator

[midnight moon]

This one looks big

Gosh please let them have different sizes

Please

On that note

[stiff leaf]

fat

[midnight moon]

Nile croc

That specimen is actually suprisingly small lmao

Just fat

Proportionally

[cyan sundial]

Remember that absolute unit of a Gator in Florida a while back?

He was just strolling across a golf corse

[midnight moon]

Wait, where is that footage from, dont remember it from the trailer lol

[midnight moon]

Yeah he was fairly big

Around 15ft

[cyan sundial]

They said he was like 13-15 feet long or something

[karmic merlin]

they are adding species trailer

[midnight moon]

Largest ones as per skulls are around 15,8ft

There are pictures of an alleged 18ft skin

[cyan sundial]

15 foot gator in COTW

[midnight moon]

And then there is this report of a 19,2ft one

[midnight moon]

Yes

They wont make a great one gater

Gator

[midnight moon]

Yeah just put that there because heck why not lmao

Amd theres no such thing as truBodys sadly

Lvl 3-4 is a small adult, lvl 5-6 is around the average male adult, lvl 7-8 is a large male, lvl 9 is the largest gator as per skulls on record and lvl 10 fabled would then be the largest gator with measurment mentioned in literature.@cyan sundial

But u have to do level 1s to 😏

[midnight moon]

Id be happy if they just gave them multiple sizes

If they dont i wont even bother

Me to

Literally fucks the point of gator trophies

You want your croc trophies to be big

Same thing with lion

But i still want one

And bison

[midnight moon]

With crocs it is much more extreme though

Because the big ones weigh more than 10 times as much as the small ones sometimes

Also grizzlys and black bear they need trubodys

Yeah

Especially grizzlys

Bc the black bear are massive compared to irl

But still the variation is by far most extreme in crocodylians so it would be hella stupid if they let different sizes out

Because those are literally

The defining feature for croc hunting

[midnight moon]

Where can i find that btw?

Or is it not up yet?

[karmic merlin]

i’m sending it

[midnight moon]

They wont bother giving us any point of refrence...

My slim hopes are beginning to fade totally

[cyan sundial]

165-1,000 pounds? Sheesh

And as I predicted class 6

That’s also a big weight difference to

[midnight moon]

Ngl they cant make them all the same size

[cyan sundial]

Lol a 165 10 foot gator

Slim Jim

[supple ledge]

Those gonna look lit in the lodge

[cyan sundial]

Couldn’t tell the difference between that and a stick in the water

[supple ledge]

Sticks don’t eat you

[midnight moon]

Mugger crocodiles use sticks to lure birds

One second

[supple ledge]

I did not know that

[midnight moon]

https://images.app.goo.gl/DZkuBDh3x2QgZzW86

[hasty glade]

haha

[cyan sundial]

Crocodilians are cool animals

Meme material to

[midnight moon]

Also my bet is on the gator max length being 4,5m

Approximately

Ingame

[midnight moon]

4,23m gator is about 473kg

(506÷473) × 4,23 = ~4,5

Not sure if they handle the weight like that

Irl a 500kg gator would probably be somewhat shorter

But still

Hope

Imagine a tiny 1115 pound gator what if none are big all tiny boys

[midnight moon]

Then i wont even bother getting the map lmao

[gaunt storm]

165 pounds is lighter than me. 1115.5 os heaver than a max weight RME

They better have different model sizes to make these weights believable

Putting in mildly

[cyan sundial]

Gators should be able to one shot anyone

Well class 6 is in a good spot

.243, .357, .44, .30-30, Drilling Rifle, etc.

[frail tusk]

Class 6 seems a bit low imo

[cyan sundial]

Yeah

[frail tusk]

I was expecting class 7 or up

[mighty dove]

Same

[supple ledge]

Raccoons should be able to climb trees

And get into trash cans

[cyan sundial]

People kill Whitetails with .22s

[supple ledge]

That’s what Gray Foxes are known for yeah

[cyan sundial]

Like .22LR

[supple ledge]

that and being gray

[mighty dove]

Imagine losing a fox because it went up a tree

[supple ledge]

Lol

[cyan sundial]

Yeah

A little

[gaunt storm]

That little soft spot in the back of their head

[cyan sundial]

.243 ain’t far off

Just a bit bigger

And safer

I’m just glad I can use something bigger against them

[gaunt storm]

With th 22 H and the 243, every animal will be covered...9h wait not the black bear

Guess I will use a 270

But seriously, black bears belong in 6

Not 7

[cyan sundial]

Agreed

Black Bears are a class too high

[gaunt storm]

A 270 (or any 4-8) would still cover at least 4 animal there

[cyan sundial]

What’s the full list?

Of animals?

[gaunt storm]

WTs, bears, gators, and feral pigs would be covered

Eastern Turkey, raccoons, grey fox, Bob white, cottontails

Would not

All those except the fox are gonna be class 1 i imagine

Fox will be 2

[midnight moon]

7mm and the .22 hornet have me covered for life

[gaunt storm]

What y'all think of coons max level? 5 or 9?

I don't see them at 3

So would I

They are supposed to be smart

[midnight moon]

I think 9 they are Carnivores

[gaunt storm]

Omnivores

But not predators

[supple ledge]

^

[gaunt storm]

Simply opportunists, like pigs

Which all go to 5

The rule is all predators go to 9

Not everything that can eat meat

[frail tusk]

22H + 30-06 or 303 is prolly gonna be my loadout

[gaunt storm]

Pretty much

[frail tusk]

Assuming there's no class 3s

[gaunt storm]

I don't think there will be

[cyan sundial]

Feral Pigs are a possibility

[lean mist]

i will use the 22H and the 65lbs bow

maybe a rifle depending on how the gator hunting works

[cyan sundial]

Crossbow and 12G Pump scoped

I forgot

The goats were a class 3

But they ain’t in the new area

[lean mist]

i need to test the crossbow again. last time i used it was spooking like a rifle

[opaque shard]

Feeders, retrievers, boats would fit this map so good espacially for the future if a duck species gets added

[lean mist]

if they attack in the water you won't have time nor reflex to pick and shoot with the 454.

[cyan sundial]

So the animal roaster is: Gator, WT, Black Bear, Quail, Pig, Grey Fox, Raccoon

Anything I’m missing?

[lean mist]

rabbits

turkeys

and

yeah

[opaque shard]

I wonder how it will look like when they kill you

[cyan sundial]

Seems like a nice roaster

[lean mist]

and probably some ducks after the rework

[cyan sundial]

No ducks, but whatever

Wood ducks please

[lean mist]

me too

[opaque shard]

Not with a map with already 9 species

[cyan sundial]

Probably a duck species

[lean mist]

a swamp map without waterfowl?

does not fit for me

[opaque shard]

Prob just one more species could be added

[cyan sundial]

That’s why I nominate wood ducks

[full arch]

I second the wood ducks

[gaunt storm]

With the 22H, Turkey hunting just got a lot more interesting

[opaque shard]

Maybe a bit too much to handle though

[frail tusk]

• Black bear (7)
• American alligator (6)
• Feral pig (4)
• Whitetail deer (4)
• Common raccoon (2)

i just want to check out the bear and the pig model

[opaque shard]

I just wish that this game had a bit more water physics

The black bear almost look purple lol

[frail tusk]

^

I hope they get touched up

[opaque shard]

And the pig needs to look a bit more like boar and not pigs from farms

Hard to explain

[lean mist]

yeah thats why i want to see

i wish a remodel or retexture

[earnest remnant]

still cant believe no mallards or anything

[frail tusk]

We're prolly gettin them with the rework

I doubt they'd wanna add a broken animal to a map

New people buyin the map would be pissed

[uneven bloom]

Exactly my thoughts

[gaunt storm]

In the interest of realism, all the fur types for black bears should be rare in Mississippi

That's how they got their name-almost all of them east of the Mississippi River are black

It's out west where you find the non-black fur variants

Also, as for water physics, the only one I care about now is that gators are safe from bullets in the water, but not arrows

[frail tusk]

Hope so

[supple ledge]

Solid lineup

Need those ducks tho

Heavily

[harsh mist]

They allready put 9 species in there....not sure if they are going to add any ducks in future...

[uneven bloom]

Most maps could possibly get ducks added to them

[gaunt storm]

🤮

Mississippi? Sure

But other maps? Upland game birds please

[harsh mist]

The map that need a new specie is Medved and It aint ducks...

[acoustic scarab]

So as of right now it doesn’t look like the gators will vary in length( could change ) , I am gonna find it extremely weird to kill a gator weighing way more and not being longer then let’s say a 500 lb vs 700lb

[harsh mist]

Tru size would be Welcome yes

[gaunt storm]

It's hard to tell. In my mind, the gators do look different lengths, but there's no consistent reference for scale

They could also have like 5 different set lengths

Like how legacy antlers worked

[harsh mist]

Not sure on that ...

[gaunt storm]

How most African animal horns currently work

[midnight moon]

That’s why we haven’t got Africa 2 yet too they have to give the returning species truhorns still

[acoustic scarab]

No lol, they working on a set roadmap

[gaunt storm]

My point was that that's how gator sizes can work

[karmic merlin]

i wish vurhunga had the african black duck

[gaunt storm]

I would not mind that

[midnight moon]

True true

[acoustic scarab]

Well looking at the weight range for gators 165-1115 lbs if they aren’t varying lengths we have a serious issue lol

[pliant walrus]

So one thing I’ve wondered is how would hunting the alligators work? Like are they going to have the same vital set up as everything out or????

[gaunt storm]

Same vitals, it seems

Given that class 6 is required

[pliant walrus]

Cause as far as I know piercing their skin anywhere besides that golf ball size spot on the back of their head is ridiculously hard

[gaunt storm]

Not with the right cartridge and bullet

[pliant walrus]

I mean if you would like to keep the hide

[gaunt storm]

Plus the skin apparently gets weaker as you go down

[pliant walrus]

And then seeing the trailers and they are swimming across the river, what happens when we shoot one and it runs off into the river, do we just lose it forever or are we going to finally get boats

[gaunt storm]

By the time you reach the underbelly, it offers little protection

[spiral dawn]

No boats announced so probably not

[gaunt storm]

Floats to you like every other animal

[pliant walrus]

I’ve never had any animal float to me besides ducks, idk how many pheasants I’ve lost because they fell over a body of water
