I've had deer float to me

And a moose

It could be like rabbits hiding in burrows, if they run under deep water theyre gone. But swamps aren’t that deep you might be able to walk most of the water

It was a moment of Artax and the swamp of Sorrows

Hm

#

I dunno how to feel about that

uneven bloom
#

looks like the .303's going to be my go-to for them

raven juniper
#

That means the .243 is legal, if barely

#

When I looked up hunting regulations for gators in Mississippi, minimum legal rifle rounds were .270/7mm

mighty dove
#

I assumed those would be the weapons of choice

raven juniper
#

That to me implied class 7 at minimum

mighty dove
#

I was surprised at the 243 being legal for them

#

Same, at least 7-8

raven juniper
#

Hm

#

I wonder if they feel pressured to make the maps friendly to new players?

We haven't had a reserve animal with a class higher than 6 since SRP

I wonder if they will scare off animals during drink times

Forcing you to grind at other times too

#

You can kill them with a .22 so I am guessing they went with a middle ground weapon?

raven juniper
#

Wuh

mighty dove

But you have to place it right

Kill a gator with a 22

Oh, irl

mighty dove
#

Yes, sorry

raven juniper

I mean I spose

#

Oh lol that’ll have to be one hell of a shot

raven juniper
#

It wouldn't be ethical by hunting regs methinks

#

Even irl

mighty dove
#

I am not talking about legality moreso than ability

#

I’d much rather use a 270/7mm

raven juniper
#

Tbh

#

Depending on how aggressive they get in close quarters

#

I might bring out the .45-70 again for these

Don't get to use it very often

I like the green one

The gray fox is probably going to be a class 2

So piebald could be a option

And the orange ones in SC was because of rust in the water

do you guys think the .22h will be class 1-3? I really hope so

Also, what do you think the trophy organ will be on gators? I hope not the head. I am sure there cannot be heart/lung right?

acoustic scarab

#

good i am glad it will also do class 2

#

i hope the raccoons are class 2

coarse lintel
#

Alot of people wanted it to be class 1 to 3, but I'm glad it can do 1 and 2 at least

pure lantern
#

yeah 🙂 we need more class 2 guns, but i was also hoping this one would do 1-3. I will settle for class 2 as i can carry it for rabbit, duck, goose, and yote/fox hunting and also am sure the raccoon will be class 2 aswell. We reeeeaaaalllly need an FX crown or impact .25 pcp airgun too

quaint lintel
#

It is rly good that it's both class 1 and 2, cause I always had to carry two guns with me to hunt both.

#

welp...there it is. now im curious - are the last 2 updates counted as 2 clues? they usually do 3.

ancient sorrel
#

Missed this channel 😂

midnight moon
#

Could this be a clue for a new map?

#

No part of Hirsch that I've seen looks like that

#

that one and the update before it.

ancient sorrel
#

Definitely the same spot, just a closer POV

midnight moon
#

It looks different to me though

#

You don't see the dock nor the grass in the water

ancient sorrel
#

The colony if trees in the back are the same

#

The ones that look like a castle

midnight moon
#

True

ancient sorrel
midnight moon
#

Are there In-game clues? Or just in the discord

#

i dont know that its the same exact spot, but the tell for me is the amount of area in the background with no mountains. none of the current maps give you that skyline for that amount of range.

ancient sorrel
#

Who knows

midnight moon
#

Don't they normally announce if there are in-game clues? Or is it if someone finds something, then they announce it

ancient sorrel
#

I think this channel’s re-existence confirms that there are clues

midnight moon
#

they technically dont announce anything. EW very rarely confirms what is/is not a clue.

ancient sorrel
#

I’m sure that they’ll be hard to see tho, the clues are rarely found right away

midnight moon
#

usually they just hear out what you think are clues and play off what the community says.

jade thicket
#

clue channel is open again all aboard the hype train...choo choo 😁

ancient sorrel
#

Honestly, I don’t think these images are a new map, I think it’s just alluding to something bigger, similar to that pic of Parque (when Rancho was coming out)

midnight moon
#

right now its really up in the air, but my suspicion is - if this is a map that also launches the waterfowl rework - and the map is clearly in fall (waterfowl season) its Saskatchewan. we had a long talk about it in the #🦌︴general channel last night.

#

Saskatchewan is the waterfowl capitol of the world (or so says google) and the vegetation is very similar. someone also said sweden - and that is definitely a possibility. they look very similar.

ancient sorrel
#

I’ll be kinda disappointed if it isn’t Africa tbh (I know that’s not a popular opinion)

it wont be europe i think

we got nice waterfowl here too but like

what if it was mostly a water focused map?

Where has rivers and evergreens in Europe tho

inland night
#

this is nice

#

oh my god

#

just imagine a river delta map

unkempt condor
terse girder
#

Where hunting would mostly be around water, maybe a new boat mechanic could be added for people with the ATV dlc? Or it could be free for people who buy the map

inland night
#

prolly would come with the dlc

#

also would be a nice way to add retrievers

#

for bird species

terse girder
#

It could also be a mostly bird focused map

inland night
#

i just love to think that the community managers are prolly lurking in this chat and being like "NOTE IT DOWN NOTE IT DOWN"

hidden quest
#

see retrievers makes sense for them to do, but when thinking about both retrievers and that picture, it doesn’t make much sense

i have nearly been to all lakes and no lake looks like that

terse girder
#

Also look at the second picture they posted, its a river

#

A big river too

hidden quest
#

could you post it?

terse girder
#

At least i think so

#

It doesnt look like a lake, it looks like it goes on after the picture ends. Like a large river that waterfowl could live at

#

Maybe each area of the river would have a different waterfowl species? Similar to Ibex in Cuatro

hidden quest
#

could just be the shape of the lake or an island

inland night
#

tbh now that i think of it

terse girder
#

Maybe, but iy could also be a river

inland night
#

this looks like the same lake but a different angle

midnight moon
#

they wouldnt put a boat on a lake. i am thinking its a river too simply for that reason.

terse girder
#

Also those arent the same lake

inland night
#

oh ye

#

ur right

#

looks around similar area tho

#

possibly the other side of the odd tall trees?

Ngl, I'd enjoy a map that is Waterfowl only

Nah thats a bad idea

Mostly waterfowl and water animals would be cool though

10$ for a map with only birds

inland night
terse girder

atleast 2-3 bigger game

midnight moon
#

we need bigger birds

I think a map with 4 waterfowls and 5 other animals could work decently

not really

waterfowl and like 3-4 bigger species

" 10 point-to-point transport sites have been implemented along the riverbank in Mississippi Acres Preserve. At present, they won’t be visible on the map but that is something we will be addressing a little later this year. Just look for the boats! "

#

Honestly I'd like a Canadian map with dall sheep, blacktail, caribou etc. and obviously lots of waterfowl.

midnight moon
#

here is the thing...that dock/boat combination - i have not been able to find in game anywhere. I have spent probably 8 hours over the last week trying to find both of the locations in the updates...in that time every single dock with a boat has the boat facing toward the bank. this one is facing away. just makes me think its new.

#

i traversed hirsch, yukon, layton - and because someone said this might be a "seasons" dlc - i did medved and srp just incase it was one of those maps in a different season.

hidden quest
midnight moon
#

i wasnt able to find anything even close to those spots.

jade thicket
#

maybe some areas are reworked for the boat transport system

midnight moon
#

this is Saskatchewan.

#

the trees look pretty similar

#

this is sweden - although its harder to find a photo that matches from sweden

coarse lintel
#

It's either Canada or Europe imo

midnight moon
#

what i think is interesting - and this is PURE speculation - both of these spots are big moose zones. GO moose?

compact island
#

I hope it’s Canada

hidden quest
#

I’m fine with anything as long as there’s enough new species

coarse lintel
#

If it is a new map with alot of waterfowl, my guess for weapon for the map would be 12ga semi auto.

#

Probably a 3 shot one

hidden quest
#

That’s a very good guess, I would probably say the same tbh

coarse lintel
#

Geese loadout 22lr, 12ga pump 6 shot and 12ga semi auto would be so nice, they would stand no chance xD

hidden quest
#

I’m excited to see what they do with the geese

#

And the ducks of course

coarse lintel
#

I think they'll be alot more fun, but more inconsistent for cash as I do think they'll probably fly faster.

hidden quest
#

I wouldn’t mind them being less efficient with cash personally, probably because I really don’t need any more lol

coarse lintel
#

Yeah, plus pronghorn and mountain lions are great for grinding cash

hidden quest
#

yea

inland night
coarse lintel
#

Although I do wonder if srp might get reworked soon as te awaroa and medved I'd assume are getting reworked soon since they're planning to remove chamois and lynx drinking zones

hidden quest
#

Yeah, they might be, at least those animal’s zone times

coarse lintel
#

Maybe mule deer and rocky mountain elk will finally drink longer then 30 minutes, if they do change them xD

hidden quest
#

I think they should let them be

coarse lintel
#

Yeah as srp is good for feed zone hunting, though turkey drink zones should probably go

hidden quest
#

Absolutely

The north end of Yukon Valley looks a lot like this, but no docks. However, Generation Zero, which Avalanche makes, also looks like this. Of course that is a different game, but uses the same engine. Since it is set in Sweden, maybe this is a nordic map for COTW?

Yes

As a swede, wouldn't a Swedish map be the exact same as the hirschfelden one?

Apprently sweden has otters n beavers n stuff idk i just did a quick google search

Not in the South, and this doesn't look like it would be in Northern Sweden, unless it's like yukon and it snows, but there would be more pine trees if it was northern Sweden.

I still think it's a lake in Layton that will get those docks added after waterfowl rework... or it's just the want of not having another European or North American map inside me talking.

Imagine northern Sweden above polar circle reserve in the mountains.

The intro cinematic (the descending camera stuff) shows northern lights, sets you up next to a cabin on a mountain side.

Snowmobile replaces ATV for that map specifically.

maybe it's that same thing psychiatrists do with inkdrop prints to make you "see" images in abstract designs playing with my head, but something about the shadows on that first picture looks wrong. There seems to be light where there ought not to be. The effect is almost "letter-like":

Florida would be too close to Acres anyways

Florida does have game ranches like texas but on a smaller scale so there would be room to add some new species

Could be like a strange love child of Parque and Mississippi

High fence reserve with rare species would be cool

The new reserve will hopefully release close too if not right with the water fowl rework so could be mainly ducks with a few exotics sprinkled in

Wouldn't be my first choice but I digress

They'd have to revamp the map along with it.

Im planning on just ATV-ing around Hirsch later to see if I can find that

uneven bloom

if it is the new map, it looks like it'll be another generic NA map, which many people will not like at all.

Could potentially be Eastern/North Eastern Europe which I guess some people have wanted

I wouldn't say no to the French Alps

That is true

Not too sure what else could go there to make it super different from something like Cuatro

Rock ptarmigan

Yea I guess

Idk I dont think a COTW version of Val is what the game needs rn

They also might have photos saved just for their news output

You know how most companies keep special promo pictures and texts when they are sending out new letters and such

#

I also don’t want it to be this easy to see what the map might look like

#

They've always been pretty elusive with the clue's at least from what i've seen so maybe this clue wont really make sense until we have more

#

Ok. I have a wildly out there thought. If the clues start with the 2nd to last community update - there have been 3 photos including that one since. The last time EW only did photos as clues was…dogs. If you look at the last 2 community update photos and the Jaxy stream photo the one thing very apparent in them is the color yellow. The golden sunset, the golden fields of cuatro, the golden trees of hirsch (or wherever it is). What if the clue is yellow or gold? What if the dlc is golden retrievers?

#

I know. I know. We can’t find the locations of the photos which points to map and I still think Sas is possible (or Sweden) but we literally have so little to go on I wanted to think what else could this be? Trying to think outside the box a bit.

glacial summit
#

I think the boat (wherever it lies) contains more info

#

but the boat also seems to not exist

midnight moon
#

Well of course. When they released dogs it wasn’t just dogs. They teased new outfits and blackbuck trurac in the clues. The boat could be as simple as boats on all the maps.

glacial summit
#

True

Is there any clues?

quaint lintel
hidden quest
# uneven bloom particularly Bohndorf lake from the east.

it isn’t anything on Hirschfelden, the boats don’t exist, the grass is yellowish, the vegetation in the water doesn’t exist, the huge docks doesn’t exist, and I really don’t recognize that lake. So unless there’s some gigantic change to Hirschfelden it isn’t.

#

the docks in the picture doesn’t exist anywhere in the game currently

hidden quest
#

I’d say until we get a confirmed clue we’re basically clueless

midnight moon
#

youd have to think by this channel being added back the conversations that have been happening over the last few days have merit.

hidden quest
#

yeah

#

I’m confused, because if the picture isn’t a clue, then why is there stuff in it that doesn’t exist currently, so chances are that that’s a clue imo

#

at first glance it looks a bit like Hirschfelden but if you look closer you’d most likely see that it isn’t, so how some people still think it is, is beyond me

#

it looks more like Layton Lake District than Hirschfelden

#

but I know that, at least currently, that exact picture doesn’t exist in game

#

I’m kinda waiting for another clue (assuming the picture is one) or the Community Managers to narrow it down a bit

fallen yew
#

Could be apart of the waterfowl rework, adding to existing maps, specifically altering the lakes, rivers, waterways, etc. Maybe new duck species to some maps. Seems kind of early to be hinting at a new map, imo.

hidden quest
#

yep, seems a little early for a new map tease for me too

#

but would they hint at altering the waterways though?

fallen yew
#

Eh who knows. If it's not a new map then the next biggest thing in the pipeline is fixing up the waterfowl and their mechanics which could include the waterways for whatever reason.

if this isn’t a clue, then what the hecc is it? it isn’t anything currently existing and it’s an ingame picture

that’s what confuses me

Could be screenshot they had laying around from a scrapped map or addition to map that didn’t make it into the game

Sweden would be amazing. Didn’t realize how many waterfowl species they had. Also they have grouse ptarmigan, beavers, moose,roe,boar,wolves,bears,Arctic fox,wolverines,lynx,otter,red/gray fox,weasels and the sort(stoats,martins,etc,red deer, fallow deer,rabbits,etc.

terse girder
#

I’d love a mostly aquatic map

#

With waterfowl, beaver, otter, and probably some land species to make travel fun

rocky wyvern
#

unfortunately im not sure the dev's would be able to put in that many animals though i wish they could

amber kiln
#

I know, but I’m saying it’s the perfect map for new and old species while also being from the devs home country

terse girder
#

I’d love it if beavers were tier 3 and similar to hunting gators

amber kiln
terse girder
#

So you’d shoot them and if they get to the bottom of the lake, theyre gone forever

amber kiln
#

Or otters as the same class and mechanic too

terse girder
#

Are otters that big tho?

amber kiln
#

But I haven’t hunted otters enough to know if they sink the same or not

terse girder
#

Otters could have a similar mechanic but be tier 1 or 2

#

Probably 2 but they’d be tougher than the average tier 2 maybe

rocky wyvern
#

I would love a mostly aquatic map to be fair

amber kiln
rocky wyvern
#

itd be refreshing considering every other map

terse girder
amber kiln
#

I’d say 3 too. Beavers are pretty big but just as easy to kill as bobcats.

#

Well, seeing as coyotes are class 2, even though they should be 3. I guess otters would probably be class 2

terse girder
#

Maybe they could be class 4 since they seem like theyd be a bit tougher than otter or small cats

amber kiln
#

Bobcats get over 100lbs, definitely not a small cat lol.

terse girder
#

They’re pretty small in game

amber kiln
#

Beavers are pretty easy to kill, but they’d probably be class 4 just because of sinking

Grew up on the river in the hollers of Western PA where we have plenty of Bobcats and I've only ever seen 4. Sneaky little buggers. LOL
