[wintry frost]

Hard to say, still looks like a mallard to me

[bold meteor]

It kind of looks like a pintail

[gentle shale]

yea we see a duck , a like and a forest in autumn could basically be anywhere in europe us and central asia

nothign points to a more precise location in those pics

[bold meteor]

Because it has a brown head then a white neck then a brown body

[gentle shale]

trees are mostly spruce

[bold meteor]

and the tail looks like it comes out to a point more than the mallard

[wind ridge]

They are the same trees as the previous images with an observation tower similar to Layton's

[warm basin]

Prob a female mallard

[floral blaze]

I can see his head, it's green

[gentle shale]

black forest germany?

[lusty orbit]

Hirschfelden is in Germany

[gentle shale]

well maybe we're getting ducks on hirsh

[floral blaze]

Doubtful

[gentle shale]

and geese on layton

[bold meteor]

No, it still looks like a pintail to me

[wind ridge]

new species are not added to old maps, that has already been confirmed many times in the devs

[candid cliff]

You would see the white under body

[lusty orbit]

I think you're just seeing what you want to see

[candid cliff]

Really they added geese to hirsh and rabbits also lions on savanna

[candid cliff]

Aren’t we all

[glacial flame]

Yeah they do add stuff to old maps

It’s happened several times now

[uneven bloom]

Adding new stuff to older maps is tricky for the devs to do

mostly because that means they have to reduce the populations of other animals to make it work

[glacial flame]

True

[bold meteor]

How can it be the black forest of germany if the tree leaves are green, orange and red

[tawdry nebula]

Also blackbucks

[uneven bloom]

otherwise, lag city for people on older/weaker computers/consoles

[gentle shale]

time to buy new pc

[lusty orbit]

Don't know about that, it's really hard to see Africa in these screenshots 😂

[wind ridge]

In the last devs JB clarified that adding new species implies removing amounts from other species, which is a lot of work if you take into account that the areas of need are made so that the animals occupy certain portions of the map

[candid cliff]

Yeah, but in reality it could be anything but we all just want it to be euro map

[warm basin]

Who's we?😈

[floral blaze]

Speak for yourself there.

[uneven bloom]

I don't want anything in particular.

except for wood ducks/green-winged teals to make it into the game eventually.

[visual drift]

Looks like a Canadian goose to me

[gentle shale]

still want an english country side map

lmaybe it's scotland

with the lochs

[bold meteor]

And you forgot pintail but if i had to choose one it would be wood ducks

THE BEST DUCK HUNTING IN EUROPE | Sports Illustrated Vault | SI.com

https://vault.si.com/vault/1956/02/06/the-best-duck-hunting-in-europe
This is a article about best duck hunitng locations in Europe

Not once does it mention Sweden or Finland but it does mention Holland so maybe Holland is where the map is

[gentle shale]

holland doent have mountains

[minor moth]

They do but those mountains are in the Caribbeans

[blissful scarab]

I am from sweden and I dont think its common to hunt ducks here

but mallards are super common

Sweden has mountains in the north

[candid cliff]

Here is a lake in the neatherlands which is near holland

[gentle shale]

anyone recognize the watchtower style from real life?

[wintry frost]

There's no reason to think it's specifically located in a place that is known for duck hunting. We know it has mallards, but not that it's going to be focused on waterfowl or anything.

[visual drift]

Probably the most talked about place in the USA for duck hunting is Arkansas

[candid cliff]

Yes

but I doubt they do another NA map

[visual drift]

They do have the ozark mountains

[lusty orbit]

I doubted that too, but then we got Mississippi

[visual drift]

True I wouldn’t think they would do Mississippi and Arkansas

[blissful scarab]

Here is a picture from high up in sweden

[gentle shale]

what about oregon ? https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/events/7-fire-lookout-tower-escapes/

[midnight moon]

Any advancements in terms of clues?

[lusty orbit]

No

[midnight moon]

Cool

[wintry frost]

Just more speculating

[midnight moon]

Im just gonna go play Classic while waiting for a reveal. Ciao

[acoustic elbow]

I hope they add green-winged teal

[candid cliff]

Any new species are nice additions to the game

[lusty orbit]

I hope for wood duck and mandarin duck

Even tho they live nowhere near eachother

[jade thicket]

anything new im happy 😁

[blissful scarab]

But do we know that it is a map?

[winged topaz]

@jade thicket the new is ....
you're happy 😁 !

[candid cliff]

Well some mandarin ducks are released to ponds where wood ducks live but idk if they are hunted

[jade thicket]

right beer oclock 🍻 cheers all 😁

[candid cliff]

mandarin duck and wood duck - Google Search

https://www.google.com/search?q=mandarin+duck+and+wood+duck&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALiCzsZDwke8UujxqUuxdLImZKU2RxlUkw:1651261273163&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4v_jMg7r3AhW0lGoFHbeTDZ8Q_AUoAnoECAIQAg&biw=390&bih=664&dpr=3#imgrc=gjQz8vgixEuMrM
Like here is an example in South Dakota

[wind ridge]

Reasons why the clues refer to Canada:

1. Canada is one of the most important waterfowl migration destinations on the continent, since the Waterfowl Rework is confirmed to be a more than convenient destination if we take into account the migratory flyways.
2. Submerged vegetation on one side of the dock also indicates that the map will feature wetlands, common ground in many Canadian hunting areas, the wooden platform that is at the beginning of the dock they confirm it, we see the same in the wet areas of the Layton River and in the Center of Yukon, also in Mississippi.
3. The trees in all the images are the same as those of Yukon and Layton whit yellow color, different from reddish Hirsch colors, also the observation tower is the same as Layton's only the color changes..
   Half Layton, half Yukon...
   so if in the images there is content from NA maps, a Duck from an NA map, the map should be in NA...

[lusty orbit]

I mean yeah, but like you said i don't think you can hunt them together in the same country

[rigid bloom]

It looks like the duck started on land

[blissful scarab]

Where do ducks migrate?

[candid cliff]

South

[soft lava]

How obvious

[gaunt storm]

You left out some

[midnight moon]

I never would have thought that tbh

[surreal solar]

I'd atleast like to know if we are way far off or edging closer

[soft lava]

Completely off and we have been bamboozled

[gaunt storm]

Then I guess the new map is in the middle of the Sahara and there's no animals

It just exists to waste disk space

[soft lava]

Just for the troll

[gaunt storm]

Exactly

[quaint lintel]

Makes sense, but I still think it's gonna be the green spot not the yellow

[inner swan]

👀

[jade thicket]

space for australia africa greenland europe loads of places 😁

[grand plaza]

Hear me out okay

Yukon

But fall version

[jade thicket]

maybe....

😁

[grand plaza]

Half the price of normal maps but with new birds that are migrating for the fall

[mighty dove]

But hear me out, Yukon, pre-burn

[grand plaza]

OOH i like it

[jade thicket]

pre burn interesting

[wind ridge]

It is also possible, those areas in green are even more important for waterfowl than BC which is marked in yellow

[tribal sail]

Maybe all these images are clues for both Layton and Hirsh. Imagine if they decided to extend each map for more square mileage.

[midnight moon]

Why were there like 3 Partenered/NDA creaters in this channel at the same time?

[hard wind]

Conspiracies

[grand cipher]

they dont know the map yet they find out shortly before we do lmao

[dense birch]

if its a canadian map i really hope they give us loon noises my favorite noise in these parts lol

[unkempt condor]

Why did all the youtubers join the discussion all of a sudden

[inner swan]

It's Africa 2.0. The mallards are a dead giveaway

[keen belfry]

Oh, so we swapped to Canada? Honestly that sounds better than Sweden. But mostly cause I live in Canada

[muted robin]

It's Retriever DLC. The mallards are a dead giveaway

[midnight moon]

Yay!

[leaden relic]

👉👈 maybe afwica? 🥺

[inner swan]

Canada better than Sweden? Not if you want new animals in the game

[haughty aurora]

Is it in the observatory

[dense birch]

im based so yes XD

[bold meteor]

Maybe we get Labrador Retrievers with the map dlc

[coarse lintel]

I wonder if they'll add retrievers with the map as the map special thing instead of a new weapon.

[wind ridge]

a new dog with a new mechanic would break the game along with a big update like this

in fact i think the waterfowl rework by itself will break it :S

[glacial flame]

Would be good!

[wind ridge]

probably august would be a good time, when the problems of the new map are solved

[glacial flame]

Not necessarily- have faith! 😊

[meager oxide]

God, I wish this game had official mod support.

[split agate]

To me these images all look like the Dalsland and/or Dalarna regions of Sweden.

[glacial flame]

I imagine now they’ve worked out the one dog that adding another shouldn’t be too bad

[meager oxide]

Imagine living south of Piteå. Couldn't be me.

[glacial flame]

Beautiful

[visual drift]

A new dog would basically just be a reskin with new perk’s don’t see any reason it should be game braking

[hard wind]

Unless it is meant to actually retrieve ducks

[meager oxide]

The great thing about Sweden as a place for a reserve is that our climate is very, very diverse, ranging from arctic wasteland to thick, dense forests.

[visual drift]

New perk retrieving

[meager oxide]

New perk; suppressor

[visual drift]

I wish 👍

[quaint lintel]

New dog: Retriever

[ashen pine]

I'd love to see the return of dynamic weather

[quaint lintel]

This looks like the current broken duck animations on the ground lol

[warm prism]

I’m loving the idea of maybe some map extensions! Would love to see something like Hirsh getting a rework.

[loud hound]

If you go off of how classic did it retrieving was a whole mechanic and the perks (skills) were something like “soft mouth” as to not bite hard and damage what they are carrying

[wind ridge]

I imagine that will also be loved by those who have low fps on consoles xD

[ashen pine]

That would be amazing, or some of the current maps but on different seasons with maybe a couple new species.

[blissful scarab]

If you want to check out som north parts of Sweden check Umeå or Norrland

[warm prism]

Excited to find out

[wind ridge]

that would be wonderful, a request from the community for a long time

[meager oxide]

north
Umeå

Nah, just kidding, Umeå is really nice

[blissful scarab]

haha nahhh

[meager oxide]

City of Birches

[visual drift]

That would be sweet but I don’t see them putting that kind of effort into it. If so I feel like the blood hound would do something besides just track blood

[sudden ginkgo]

canada lynx or i riot 😛

[bold meteor]

So do y’all think in Tuesday stream they will tell us if we got the clues right or do you think they will give us another hint of where the clue is?

[ancient sorrel]

Another mountain goat map or I riot

[humble tinsel]

And dall sheep ofc

[wind ridge]

BC has Dall Sheeps as a game species

[amber kiln]

But Sweden would give another map for lynx too (although it would just be another Eurasian lynx map) 😉

[wind ridge]

https://www.goabc.org/hunting-in-bc/species/

[sudden ginkgo]

well then i will just repeat my medved lynx grind on a different map

[humble tinsel]

But Canada would be a different lynx

[sudden ginkgo]

probs would go for one of each rare (not picky about gender) off of this hypothetical sweden map

regardless tho, if new map has lynx........

[amber kiln]

At least the different map would have more than 5 other species to hunt during the grind 😝

I knew that react was coming lmao

[ancient sorrel]

Cashnip being predictable? 👀

[meager oxide]

intense shaking

[amber kiln]

I would just be happy for another lynx map just so I can get my piebalds

[quaint lintel]

But Lynx hunting is not the same without the snow xD

[meager oxide]

I'd argue it would be harder in not-snow.

[ancient sorrel]

Cashnip’s medved lynx are praying for a Sweden map now 😂

[meager oxide]

I really hope it is a Sweden map with a Gevär m/96 (6,5x55 Swede) as the accompanying firearm.

Such a classic rifle for hunters here to use.

[ancient sorrel]

That’s still a 6.5 tho

[amber kiln]

I would love lynx in a non snow map. It would be nice to hunt lynx in a wooded map so it would feel more like how I hunt bobcats irl

[meager oxide]

Ammunition is available in quantities beyond belief.

[unkempt condor]

What gun would be Canada?

[meager oxide]

LAV-III

[unkempt condor]

Bought time we get a pistol for a map

[ancient sorrel]

A .375 for ducks

[humble tinsel]

I would like a 7mm bolt

[meager oxide]

OH, WAIT

[unkempt condor]

Would be OP

[meager oxide]

That one straight-pull rifle that Canada had in WW1

Ross?

[coarse lintel]

I'm thinking shotgun. 12ga semi auto

[unkempt condor]

Isn't that a tank?

[meager oxide]

Ross rifle?

[ancient sorrel]

We have an AR lol

[humble tinsel]

We already have op stuff

[meager oxide]

Yes. I'm so glad my jokes are received in some quarters.

[unkempt condor]

7mm is 4-9 the ar is 4-8

[stark storm]

If it’s a waterfowl focused map a shotgun would make the most sense

[humble tinsel]

But it’s an Ar that’s 4-8= OP

[compact island]

The Sig Sauer cross tactical rifle

[stark storm]

Like how we got a new shotgun with pheasants

[ancient sorrel]

You can’t hunt with that in Canada, only in the US

[unkempt condor]

In thats case the M1 is OP

[meager oxide]

But yeah, so, Ross Rifle would be neat for Canada. It would not be even slightly original other than maybe being a little faster in terms of fire rate than the current Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I we got with Te.

Both are .303's

[frail tendon]

any new clues?

[meager oxide]

Check pinned.

[ancient sorrel]

The M1 has a ton of recoil and a way slower fire rate

[frail tendon]

ty

[meager oxide]

np, enjoy

[wind ridge]

Norinco M14s will be great for Canada

[meager oxide]

Well, duh, the M1 is from 1936, the AR has it's genesis in the early 60's.

[ancient sorrel]

That’s my point, it’s way worse than the AR, thus not OP

[meager oxide]

^^ Subjective opinion ^^

The M1 was my go-to before the AR and to be honest, I consider them to be practically interchangable.

[calm halo]

wow clues derailed to calibre discussion

[meager oxide]

This channel's rails are extremely warped 90% of the time.

[bold meteor]

We already have like 13 shot guns!

[wind ridge]

a rifle is also needed for this reserve xD

[tawdry wing]

maybe it could be 5-9 just for balance

[ancient sorrel]

I find that the significant recoil difference usually gets me a 4th shot in on a deer, which makes a huge difference in a GO grind

[bold meteor]

That number is probably way over how many we have but that’s what it feels like

[unkempt condor]

Yeah

[coarse lintel]

One issue, it's the ammo rated for classes not the gun, so the base game 7mm would be effected

[ancient sorrel]

^

[meager oxide]

I disagree, I find it quite easy to get all 5 rounds on target with both the AR-10 and M1.

[sudden ginkgo]

we have 7 currently
1x 10ga
2x 12ga
2x 16ga
2x 20ga

[humble tinsel]

Agreed

[hallow rover]

This could also be a Europe map mallards live there too

[meager oxide]

God, I wish we could condense the list of identical weapons where the only difference is the skin.

[tawdry wing]

aight. it would be cool to see a 5-9 anyways, is there a rl caliber that comes close to that?

[ancient sorrel]

I don’t think I know anyone that can consistently get all 5 shots into the deer without them running

[sudden ginkgo]

9.3x74R is 5-9

[humble tinsel]

9.3

[bold meteor]

What said after I said that was that the number is probably way over the number we actually have

[humble tinsel]

It’s for the drilling rifle

[tawdry wing]

*is the 9.3 ingame?

[stiff leaf]

anything?

[ancient sorrel]

Yes

[coarse lintel]

Was gonna say 9.3 but clearly wasn't fast enough xD

[meager oxide]

Depends on distance, obviously. What are the parameters for this exercise?

[sudden ginkgo]

drilling rifle's rifle barrel

[unkempt condor]

We have more 4-8 rifles than the amount of shotguns in the game lmao

[stiff leaf]

wait, those images were the clues?

[unkempt condor]

Yes

[ancient sorrel]

Anything further than 50m basically

[stiff leaf]

what info can we pull

[humble tinsel]

Weapon pack 2 I believe

[sudden ginkgo]

.270, eckers, 6.5, m1, .303, AR-10

so no, but almost

[unkempt condor]

Its definitely on earth

[stiff leaf]

@glacial flame Content Creator 🎉

[unkempt condor]

If you count the muzzle loader

[meager oxide]

The M30 Drilling is such a meme:
HANS, WE'RE GETTING ZHOT DOWN IN NORF AFRIKA
ICH KNOW, LET'S DEVELOP A SHOTGUN FOR BUCKSHOT, SLUGS, AND A 9.3 AT THE SAME TIME

[stiff leaf]

or whatever affiliate creator is

[unkempt condor]

.50 minie

[stiff leaf]

W

[meager oxide]

Then yeah, it's really doable.

[ancient sorrel]

This is gold 😂

[sudden ginkgo]

update to #831878056661745694

[stiff leaf]

okay, so are there clues left in-game for us

[humble tinsel]

Yeah I don’t know what that is

[keen belfry]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t BC the Stone Sheep place?

[wind ridge]

yes

[sudden ginkgo]

#831878056661745694

[stiff leaf]

?

[loud hound]

Not that we know

[keen belfry]

Sweet. I’d love to have them, if it is BC

[ancient sorrel]

Nope there wasn’t an update, so not possible

[unkempt condor]

No, they said that in the most recent post in #📢︴game-news

[humble tinsel]

Ah

[unkempt condor]

Is dall sheep in NA?

[ancient sorrel]

Yes

[wind ridge]

https://www.goabc.org/hunting-in-bc/species/

[stiff leaf]

ok great

[tawdry wing]

30-30

muzzleloader

[stiff leaf]

so what maps do we now have on our maybe list

well, regions/countries

[sudden ginkgo]

.30-30 is 2-6

[tawdry wing]

(minié)

[keen belfry]

Canada is the main topic of discussion in terms of the new map

[sudden ginkgo]

also yes i forgot the musketloader

[tawdry wing]

wait I mixed up

[sudden ginkgo]

.45-70 is 4-9

[unkempt condor]

Canada

[wind ridge]

Canada - British Columbia / Manitoba

[ancient sorrel]

Forgot the 30-06

[bold meteor]

And the 338

[sudden ginkgo]

eckers

[tawdry wing]

that's the eckers

[unkempt condor]

Ekers

[sudden ginkgo]

338 is 7-9

[stiff leaf]

ookay

[tawdry wing]

kekers

[humble tinsel]

Lol

[ancient sorrel]

How did I miss that lmao 🤣

[coarse lintel]

Imo I see 7mm and 45-70 as 4 to 8 as I never use them on class 9 xD

[tawdry wing]

the elon musket for ripping through elon musk deer

[humble tinsel]

I use the 7mm a bit

[unkempt condor]

If they add a Canada map it should be like Whiterime ridge in classic

[stiff leaf]

🥲

[humble tinsel]

45-70 is yuck

[meager oxide]

The only time I shoot at anything class 9 is when something is charging at me at full speed.

Except trains.

[bold meteor]

Wait I must have missed something, were you talking about what rifles we have or what level animals they can kill?

[stiff leaf]

so why are we talking abt guns now

[loud hound]

I’m still sorta getting classics timbergold vibes from the trees in the pics

[humble tinsel]

Naming the class 4-8 weapons

[unkempt condor]

From what I underatand its a 3 shot 4-9 gun, I never used it but it sounds good

[humble tinsel]

Because map = Gun

[unkempt condor]

I asked what guns might be in Canada and this discussion spiraled into more

[unkempt condor]

Yeah

[tawdry wing]

it's blunt ammo so it's short range like the 30-30

[ancient sorrel]

What if it isn’t a map?

[meager oxide]

Ross Rifle Mk. III

[stiff leaf]

then we will die

[bold meteor]

Oh I thought you were talking about what rifles we had, my bad

[tawdry wing]

also btw this is all definitely on topic lol

[keen belfry]

If it is a map with the waterfowl rework I’d say it’s a good chance we’ll be getting a shotgun, but idk what kind of shotgun would work

[unkempt condor]

Isn't that chambered in .303?

[meager oxide]

Indeed it is, but it's the only Canadian rifle I can think of.

Except Colt Canada stuff.

[unkempt condor]

Is the Lee Enfield Canadian?

[meager oxide]

British

.303 was pretty much the standard for all rifles used in the Commonwealth countries until 7.62x51mm became a thing.

[bold monolith]

So any news on the clues?????

[stiff leaf]

Ima lurk, I have no clue about these guns

or any gun knowledge

except that .50 >

[bold monolith]

We still thinking Scandinavia?

[meager oxide]

Or Canada

[sudden ginkgo]

if it's a new map, it's likely either canada or somewhere in scandinavia

[unkempt condor]

The clues are in the different social media

[meager oxide]

Split apprx. 50/50 at the moment

[keen belfry]

Either Canada or Sweden is a good shot for Beavers

[unkempt condor]

No, these trees do not look Scandinavian

[stiff leaf]

TIL quail live in neptune hills region

[bold monolith]

I agree with Scandinavia...I’m seen some really awesome theories in here! I’m happy with either!

[unkempt condor]

Its the entire vibe of the picture that makes me think NA

[bold monolith]

Although a Canada map would be awesome with a Moose Great One!!

[keen belfry]

Mountains in the background. If it’s BC I hope for Stone Sheep

[unkempt condor]

New great one is kind of confirmed

[ancient sorrel]

It honestly looks like Layton with a Yukon background

[stiff leaf]

so that image is the new map

[dense birch]

i really hope canada i dont see canada too often in games. plus i just love the wildlife options here.

[unkempt condor]

The g in Great was capitalized in #📢︴game-news

[bold monolith]

I saw the word Great in today’s post....so...I’m thinking so too!

[wind ridge]

#🦡︴cotw-scotland message
BC seems to me the best option

[unkempt condor]

So are these

[unkempt condor]

Layton is in BC, isn't it?

[stiff leaf]

sick

[peak cedar]

Imagine the next great one is something with waterfowl would be cool

[wind ridge]

so far we only see the forest in the 4 images, maybe in the next few weeks we will see the wetland side of the map

[stiff leaf]

albeit it does make me a little dissapointed

[unkempt condor]

3 images

[dense birch]

i think layton is washington not 100% sure though

[unkempt condor]

Same

[wind ridge]

4
#🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[unkempt condor]

Where is that 3rd picture?

[peak cedar]

Layton is a US map yea

[ancient sorrel]

Instagram

[unkempt condor]

Hmm

[wind ridge]

facebook e instagram

[unkempt condor]

Maybe waterfowl map

[stiff leaf]

probably

im not that opposed

would make waterfowl fun

with the rework

[peak cedar]

It’s gonna need to be a really good rework for a waterfowl map to sell well

[stiff leaf]

i just hope they did it well

[tawdry nebula]

I wish

[unkempt condor]

Too much small game maps recently tho

[peak cedar]

I expect more than classic at that point

[stiff leaf]

man, my map is just so weird

i hope i find something on there

[wind ridge]

this is BC Canada
#🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[stiff leaf]

huh

[wind ridge]

it may be half forest half wetland

[stiff leaf]

it would be hard to jam on the map though

the icon

[ancient sorrel]

I think it’s a little early for a new map tbh, I can’t imagine them announcing a map in early May, it’s usually mid-June

[stiff leaf]

maybe they doin something a little bit special

[glacial flame]

Ayeeee thank you!!!

[peak cedar]

They do this every year nothing new

They start in early may with new map stuff

[stiff leaf]

np, just glad to see someone get their much-deserved role!

[tawdry wing]

literally the amazon according to the picture lol

[low citrus]

I actually live in BC lol

Would be nice to see some Canada maps for once

[ancient sorrel]

The clues started in mid-April tho

[peak cedar]

Not much of a difference couple weeks

[tawdry nebula]

Also showing the map before trailer? There’s something

[ancient sorrel]

^

[peak cedar]

So first week of June for a new map instead of mid June. It’s gonna be June regardless they haven’t broken that trend yet

[unkempt condor]

Well they need to step up their game this year, the have competition

[stiff leaf]

well we can say for a fact that the images don't show layton yukon or hirsch

[ancient sorrel]

June’s more than a month away and the map will prolly be revealed soon

[glacial flame]

You’re too kind!

[stiff leaf]

*trailer releases tomorrow*

[ancient sorrel]

The clues have gotten to that point

[ancient sorrel]

😂

[peak cedar]

I seriously doubt the “map” would be revealed “soon” that’s not how good marketing works

There’s plenty of time to milk the content to get people excited 😊

[stiff leaf]

grr

[ancient sorrel]

I bet the map will get revealed in 2 weeks

[tawdry nebula]

I hate this “plenty of time”

[low citrus]

The new map will be revealed on May 19th, 1984 at exactly 1:19am

[ancient sorrel]

** Back to the futureeeee**

[unkempt condor]

Isn't that the bite of 84'

[low citrus]

Level 9 black bear eats frontal lobe of hunter

[unkempt condor]

Lmao

If it is Canada

Can we get spirit bear thats like the ghost jackel

[stiff leaf]

i want to ping jaxy to tell us something but thats not allowed

😢

bru-

[unkempt condor]

I could do it

Wait is it against rules?

[stiff leaf]

gb1609 has died.

[unkempt condor]

I thought you meant that like MEE6 or another bot wouldn't let us

[stiff leaf]

nah

[unkempt condor]

anyways

What if it's a New England or Appalachian map

Those could be the mountains in the background

Maybe Adirondacks

[stark storm]

Doubt it would be Appalachian, there are mountains in the back but most of what we’ve seen is pretty flat

[unkempt condor]

may or may not be saying that because I like in this mountain range

A lot of people on the reddit seem to think that the devs just want to copy paste Layton in Canada

[stiff leaf]

reddit = bad

[unkempt condor]

Honestly there should be an official subreddit to this game

[bold meteor]

So now that I see that no one thinks it’s going to be a map in EU anymore, what part of Canada do y’all think the map is going to be in?

[unkempt condor]

Ontario hopefully

[odd gull]

hay go back to the hunting lodge stream to me that seems like music from classic japan mabye well get a japan map

[wind ridge]

British Columbia would be nice, just like manitoba

[unkempt condor]

Of course that's the only part of Canada my American brain knows

Maybe a great lakes map with waterfowl

[bold meteor]

Hey what if the map is going to be in Ontario and the voice for the ranger or what ever is Jaxy Beard?

[unkempt condor]

Prolly not

[odd gull]

im looking at mallerd regians and thay are almost worldwide can be anywhere so well need to go based on the trees and other flora

[wind hemlock]

Anything new?

[odd gull]

no its hard to tell cuze thay said the clues might not even be ingame

[wind ridge]

they used the same ones that are in yukon for the images, but you can search for "sub boreal forest", there really are many options along the same latitude

[odd gull]

thay havent done a japan map and mallerd are in japan so thay could do a japan map

[tawdry nebula]

Mallerd everywhere

[odd gull]

yea

[wind ridge]

They are all over the world, we also hunt them here in Argentina

[odd gull]

yea im looking at a map for mallerd thay are from north america to japan so its like finding a needle in a hay stack

cuze its a waterfowl update its gotta be something to do with them

[peak cedar]

Needle in a hay stack? I don’t think that makes sense with that statement

[odd gull]

a duck in a world

[unkempt condor]

The country the SS was from out of all the countries that was mallards

[odd gull]

im going to say its not in north america cuze we have so many

[bold meteor]

I wonder if we are on the right track with thinking it’s canada because Jaxy Beard normally pops in here around this time and he hasn’t yet, unless he’s to busy right now

[odd gull]

i mean thats possible cuze hersh is the only map with canadian geese

[peak cedar]

If its a waterfowl map I prefer NA over anything

Just better choices for the most part

[stiff leaf]

whats happening her e now

[wind ridge]

that is not relevant, there are areas of importance for hunting in NA that have not yet been added at game, and wetlands with migratory flyways is one of them

[tawdry nebula]

Same

[peak cedar]

Then again if the next map is waterfowl based. If that idea goes well with the community. If it comes out fairly smoothly. If they make a lot of money off of it. Then we could easily see more in the future. That goes for anything tbh

[odd gull]

mallerd are in australia mabye the ausies will finnaly get a map

[unkempt condor]

Mallard are literally everywhere

[odd gull]

but we have a malled in 2 of the clues so thats what im going of off

[peak cedar]

If it’s Aussie I’d be disappointed in mallard being one of the species lol

How about magpie

[odd gull]

we could get both

[peak cedar]

Anyone who has played classic knows how freaking cool magpie are 😩

[unkempt condor]

Yes

Wait but you don't play classic?

[peak cedar]

Massive wing span

[odd gull]

tbh aussies lost a war to thare country bird soooo

if it is a aussie map we might get the flightlest bird that won a war agianst aussies

[peak cedar]

Off topic but I definitely have. Almost 20k HA

HS*

[bold meteor]

I love hunting those things in classic!

[stiff leaf]

magpee giese

[odd gull]

magpee live with emus who beat the aussies in a war tho so to me emus are terrafing

[quasi holly]

YEAH BABY THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKIN ABOUT

aw nvm

[odd gull]

we also havent got a flightless bird so if we get a aussie map we get alot of new birds

[peak cedar]

😂

[visual drift]

Just noticed this so I’m going back to Layton lakes 2.0

[tawdry wing]

would emu be class 2 or 3?

[deft widget]

4

they are a big bird

[bold meteor]

If we get an Australian map we should all get together on multiplayer and do a rematch with the emus

[stiff leaf]

Great

Great

[odd gull]

4 cuze emus took rounds from a lmg

mabye 5

[deft widget]

perhaps

[tawdry wing]

you're telling me they are as tough as wild boars?

[quasi holly]

I think it’s gonna be australia

[deft widget]

oh yea absolutly

[tawdry wing]

fair enough

[stiff leaf]

this new one, def not

[peak cedar]

Great one Roosevelt 🥴

[quasi holly]

okay guys hear me out

[odd gull]

emus took almost 1000 rounds from a lmg when aussies were at war with emus

[deft widget]

lol

[odd gull]

and some emus LIVED FROM THAT

[tawdry wing]

literally breeding faster than they could be shot

just like theHunter

kill one another one takes it's place

[quasi holly]

every time they introduce a new map with new species, one of the species from that map is almost always on the map after that one

[odd gull]

tbh tho casawary are so scary even steve irwin was afraied of them

[deft widget]

so mallard or moose or elk

[quasi holly]

you cant hunt them anyway

legally at least 🥴

[deft widget]

poaching in cotw confirmed???

[quasi holly]

next map is australia with crocodiles, because acres had gators

[odd gull]

well your not allowed to hunt lions irl but in call of the wild you can hunt them

[plucky beacon]

Yes you can lol

[deft widget]

but what abt mallards they dont live in austrailia

[peak cedar]

You can hunt lions lol

Just expensive

[odd gull]

thay do look at a map of whare thay live

[visual drift]

😂 well they did but black bear on MISSISSIPPI

[deft widget]

what

yea but still that terrian isnt austrailia

[odd gull]

look at it on wikapidea

[wind ridge]

we hunt the common black bear, not the mississippi subspecies

[deft widget]

oh wikipidiea isnt realiable for anything

[peak cedar]

Mallards are pretty much all over the world. Idk what your on about lol

[quasi holly]

we have normal bogus brown ducks

you cant hunt em thi

tho

[deft widget]

thats not a mallard

but it could be a good addition

[bold meteor]

You can hunt lions irl with outfitters but you have to get a special tag for them

[quasi holly]

yeah ik

[deft widget]

but i think magpie geese would be better for an aussie map

[visual drift]

It’s the same black bear we have here in Nc they are just endangered in Mississippi

[stiff leaf]

honestly, if the new map is waterfowl-based, i want it to have some non-waterfowl new species

[deft widget]

well normal bobcats could work on a na map

but its still a reskin

[peak cedar]

If it’s a waterfowl map I expect nothing short of 3-4 species of ducks

[deft widget]

yea

[grand cipher]

Facts

[deft widget]

all i want is pintails give me that and im happy

[peak cedar]

If we got pintails I want the caller 🥵

[odd gull]

all i want are working water fowl

[deft widget]

yea same

[quasi holly]

magpie geese would be good for a waterfowl rework as they’ve been talking about it, but if they want to abide by australia’s real life rules, you won’t be able to use any small game rifle for them

[deft widget]

yea lol

[quasi holly]

just bows and shotguns

[grand cipher]

Snow geese

[quasi holly]

snow geese in australia 🤤

ofc

[deft widget]

i think we are off the aussie map i dea

idea*

[peak cedar]

Cotw isn’t all that realistic though. Can’t pick and choose what IRL rules they follow

[quasi holly]

yeah

they really be delaying the aus map

[peak cedar]

For a game point of view make it class 1 or would be weird any other way

[wind ridge]

Ursus americanus is the common black bear, non endangered, Ursus americanus luteolus Luisiana Blackbear is endangered and protected, but people do not distinguish between one and the other and they hunt them the same, because they banned the entire species so they avoid mistakes xD

[stiff leaf]

they have a roadmap

[quasi holly]

wdym

[peak cedar]

If we’re talking irl stuff why is lion class 9 and grizzly not 😂

[quaint lintel]

Great one mallard confirmed. Duck with Lion's head

[deft widget]

yea unfortunately how bad the desert one is classic did i think they will delay an aussie map for quite some time

[quasi holly]

very good point

[deft widget]

yep thats it

[stiff leaf]

a roadmap to look at for the next map

its set i believe

so it doesnt change

[peak cedar]

The roadmap is a “timeline” of DLC that is planned content for cotw.

[quasi holly]

where is that

[deft widget]

oooh hear me out... surf scoters on a canadian coast ma

map*

[peak cedar]

They won’t ever publicly show the roadmap lmao

[deft widget]

like east coast

[stiff leaf]

they dont show it to us lol

[peak cedar]

That’s like saying “here’s the DLC coming for the next 3 years”

[deft widget]

ah and king eiders

[quasi holly]

what’s the point of telling us there is one then

[visual drift]

Exactly my point they can’t be distinguished between the two. But we can hunt elephants 🤷‍♂️

[deft widget]

elephants dont exist in game

[peak cedar]

It’s common sense tbh

[odd gull]

or a jackalope

[quaint lintel]

This is so easy to check if it is Layton or Hirshchfelden ... there is a lookout tower in the photo so if we just go to every lookout tower on Layton or Hirshchfelden and look for this exact scenery, we'll know if it is in one of those maps or it's not

[peak cedar]

Every game has a roadmap lol

[tawdry wing]

gotta sell that 470 somehow I guess

[peak cedar]

This isn’t a “cotw only” thing

[stiff leaf]

... hirsch aint got mallards tho

[quasi holly]

so they’re saying we can’t hunt elephants which are completely legal to be hunted, but we can hunt lions which are critically endangered 🤧

[stiff leaf]

and no map has that terrain

[peak cedar]

Makes as much sense as euro bison when cotw launched

[deft widget]

rarley legal to be hunted

[quasi holly]

yeah yeah

[odd gull]

looks like a one in the mountin of latyon

[quaint lintel]

Oh yea. totally forgot about that ... that narrows it down a lot, only Layton to check

[odd gull]

ill check them

[visual drift]

I know right 🤷‍♂️ I was hoping for a second Africa map

[quaint lintel]

I feel we're getting a new map that looks like Layton only as dense or denser then Hirshchfelden!

[tawdry wing]

how do you go that high? ATVs and rocks?

[stiff leaf]

wdym

[peak cedar]

Won’t get Africa 2.0 until UH is released I’d put money on that

[quasi holly]

the logic of this game is falling apart map by map

[tawdry wing]

people got flung to space doing that stuff

[odd gull]

i might have found what lookout tower it could be ronchee

[tawdry wing]

including myself

[quaint lintel]

cause there is not one single opening of land on that photo, endless forest, so that's why I think it's a Layton alike Hirshchfelden dense map

[quasi holly]

if you jump off an outpost roof on an atv just right you’ll fly

[odd gull]

for that we sould get hippos no yt have talked about hippos for africa 2.0

[peak cedar]

Why would EW release one of the most highly requested maps right before their competitor releases theirs. Keep in mind UH will have 16ish species to hunt on it and cotw will have a max of 10 with engine limitations

[visual drift]

I was kinda hoping they would surprise us with that and elephants since UH has confirmed them

[tawdry wing]

sounds like a plan

[quasi holly]

xd

[visual drift]

I would love to see hippos elephants and Nile crocodiles

[peak cedar]

I’m pretty sure they’re doing it through a tag system

[odd gull]

elehants would be hard to do for lodges tho hippos wouldent

[peak cedar]

Not a run n gun elephants

[odd gull]

also nile moniter

[peak cedar]

Elephants wouldn’t be any harder than a duck on a wall lol

[visual drift]

New lodge we definitely need some

[quasi holly]

cotw has fucking spaghetti code and fixing that would mean remaking the game so UH might just have a lead here if everyone stops sucking off cotw just because it’s a TheHunter game

[odd gull]

but beavers i would 338 all of them

[quasi holly]

true 😳

[stark storm]

Buddy

[quasi holly]

ok

elephants are no better

or worse

[peak cedar]

Cotw is in a really good state right now so it’s hard to say. although I can agree their code is far from the best

One variable change and it breaks 4-5 things. That’s an issue

[stark storm]

I mean I get it I just don’t know why people cry so much about wanting elephants in game

[odd gull]

i still cant balive we dident get rhinos we have a 90% moddle RIP

[peak cedar]

It was worse with turkey…

[stark storm]

They don’t even seem that cool to hunt tbh

[quasi holly]

i’m not saying I want them but the logic of having lions in the game but not elephants is completely flawed

[tawdry wing]

we have elephant gun but no elephants

[stark storm]

Oh look there’s something the size of a truck I hope I can hit it!

[quasi holly]

fucking literally

yes

that is why they would be fun

[tawdry wing]

hope it drops before it rips you in half*

[peak cedar]

“We need turkey” “Layton need turkey now” “I want turkey” “please make a map with turkey” “can you ad turkeys” “will turkey be added to cotw”

[visual drift]

Well they have been working on it for almost 6years it’s about time they get it in a good state

[peak cedar]

Ok and on and on

[odd gull]

i still think ibex need to be moved to a smaller mount in the lodge thay need a mount the size of a moose mount

[quasi holly]

they won’t

[stark storm]

Idk a lot of people seem to whine over it a lot lmao

[quasi holly]

they’d need to remake the whole game which would take at least a good year or two

[peak cedar]

Cotw has been in the making for more than 6 years I’d bet

[odd gull]

for what elehpant?

[peak cedar]

Probably 7-8

[quasi holly]

no to fix their spaghetti code

[quasi holly]

exactly

[quaint lintel]

You basically want this lol.
But don't expect it anytime early 2020s ...

[odd gull]

yea look at the isle thay messed thare code up so much thayer remakeig the game from the ground up

[stark storm]

You’d need a new lodge to have even more then one taxed at a time

[quasi holly]

yeah

I’m not sure what’s wrong with that

[odd gull]

we could get a small subspeices of elephant

for a aisa map

[peak cedar]

Don’t get it twisted lol. If UH turns out to be “the next best thing” I bet you cotw will quickly want to add elephant to take monopoly back lmO

[stark storm]

X to doubt

[quasi holly]

ah finally I can ethically decapitate a great one whitetail with this .700 nitro express

[peak cedar]

I wouldn’t. That’s how business works

[quaint lintel]

That's what I'm thinking!

[quasi holly]

nope

[quasi holly]

yeah

[tawdry wing]

misses
still dies from the shockwave

[quasi holly]

LMAO

[quasi holly]

4chan user

[odd gull]

stop thinking african elephant and start thinking indian elephant thare smaller

[stark storm]

And even less likely

[frail tusk]

you can't hunt asian elephants anywhere

[stark storm]

If there’s no African elephants in game why would their be Asian?

[tawdry wing]

wym

[frail tusk]

and they're also endangered

[quasi holly]

eh nvm lol

[odd gull]

well we have lions sooooooo

[quasi holly]

you had the greentext format

[tawdry wing]

ah the greentext

[frail tusk]

lions aren't endangered, they're vulnerable

[gaunt storm]

I think they are more endangered, and far less esteemed jn the world of hunting

[frail tusk]

and are also much smaller than an elephant

[odd gull]

might i remined you we have lions

[gaunt storm]

Which is still threatened with extinction

[tawdry wing]

I started doing it because of the 4chan crop memes

[odd gull]

also indian elephant are smaller

[quasi holly]

I just don’t understand the point of being a fan that doesn’t want elephants in the game

[frail tusk]

elephants are self aware which makes it feel weird

[gaunt storm]

The only elephant that would ever show up would be the African Bush elephant

[quasi holly]

okay my logic is, if you don’t like an animal, just don’t fucking hunt it it’s not that hard

[tawdry wing]

that's a valid point

so like dolphins

[stark storm]

I’d like to see elephants i just don’t like seeing people constantly beg for them

[gaunt storm]

So are humans...

[stark storm]

Comes across as entitled really

[odd gull]

also if we dont get hippo in africa 2.0 someone is getting a very upset dm

[quasi holly]

I’d never kill an elephant because you might as well be killing a creature with the emotional status of a human

but this is a video game

[stark storm]

Hippos would be cool

[quasi holly]

a simulation

[odd gull]

oh no the poor pixel animals

[quasi holly]

just said that

[odd gull]

yea but its funny that way

[tame storm]

If we ever get Africa 2.0, the Big Six need to completed

[quasi holly]

ok

[plucky beacon]

Ah yes the people who would be ass hurt because they added elephants in a video game😂

[gaunt storm]

Five. You're thinking of the danger of 7

[odd gull]

also talking about endagerd animals on te we get to shot the last moose in the entire reserve so

[quasi holly]

i can’t say I agree but if they put them in the game I’d probably only hunt them for rare skins

[gaunt storm]

Dangerous 7

[odd gull]

hippos kill more peps every year then sharks do in 10 think about that

[tame storm]

Huh, I remembered it being the Big (Dangerous) Five until hippos got added. Then it was six. there is a seven now or am I misremembering?

[frail tusk]

big 5 + nile croc and hippo

[gaunt storm]

It has always been either the big 5 or the dangerous 7

[quaint lintel]

Tree animals that are as legal or more as hunting lions are Giraffes! Hyppos! Nile Crocodiles! So expect those 3 For Sure when we get a Safari Africa 2.0 map!

[frail tusk]

big 5 is elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard

[tame storm]

Ah, ok, didn't know crocs got added to the list as well.

[gaunt storm]

More specifically the African Bush elephant the black rhino the Cape Buffalo the lion and the leopard

[frail tusk]

they've always been on it

[odd gull]

we need more xs multi mounts thats one thing i hope we get

[tame storm]

Oh, wait, y'all mean the two lists are seperate

[frail tusk]

yeah they are

[gaunt storm]

Bush Elephants are bigger, less endangered, and the most coveted

If any elephant were to be added it would be them

[tame storm]

Ok, Im having big brain moment. Dangerous 7 could be implemented pretty nicely then I feel

[quaint lintel]

That's the Big 5

[odd gull]

thay also have a dimaned to do super tuskers so

[gaunt storm]

Forest elephants are half as populous as the Bush elephant

An Asian elephants are tamed in captivity most people today probably would not want to shoot one

The one in that montage picture is definitely a Bush elephant

[tame storm]

Always knew about the big 5, I apparently missed the Dangerous 7 BIG time.

[gaunt storm]

You can tell because it tusks are white and not yellow

[tame storm]

That and I think A.B. Elephants have a broader head than Asian Elephants

[gaunt storm]

Both African elephants have brought her heads and bigger ears

Indian elephants used to have just as big of tusks but those genes are pretty much extinct

Now only a very very select few Bush elephants have tusks that reach the ground

[odd gull]

and thats what we call a mega tusker

[gaunt storm]

They are rare

If I ever got to hunt an elephant in real life I wouldn't care if he was a Tusker but I would want him to be at least 55 years old

[quaint lintel]

Let's get back to clues ... where do yall think those photos refer to, Nordic Europe or North America? Where is Mallard or overall duck hunting more popular?

[odd gull]

i would say nordic euope cuze have so many NP maps

[quaint lintel]

Let's say Sweden ... What animals can we expect, except Mallards, maybe few more duck species and geese

[odd gull]

as long as we dont get more TURKEYS I HATE THEM

[tame storm]

N.A., as much as I would love to see a map from another continent, the photos just feel to reminiscent of places I've been (changed country to continent because Canada is a possibility

[gaunt storm]

If this map is in either of those places I will probably not buy it

[quaint lintel]

Maybe Euro Bison 2nd map?

[plucky beacon]

I just hope it's not waterfowl focused

[odd gull]

YES PLEASE I HATE HERSH

[quaint lintel]

It's gonna be Layton looking Hirshchfelden dense map, but I'm buying all the maps lol

[tame storm]

Nordic Europe would be interesting in terms of landscape honestly, plus Capercaillies sound like a fun hunt

[gaunt storm]

What if it's in romania

And there's mountains that we have not yet seen

And we get a new ibex

[tame storm]

^That'd be interesting.

[gaunt storm]

And another chamois map

[tame storm]

Is there a lot of waterfowl hunting in Romania?

[quaint lintel]

Maybe Crocodiles somehow?! 👀 (They're also kinda water related) Is there any in Sweden

[tame storm]

Nah, don't think so XD

[gaunt storm]

There's not a Europe

[quaint lintel]

Ah ... k

[gaunt storm]

But to be fair I think Europe and Antarctica are the only continents that don't have them

[odd gull]

camine mabye

[gaunt storm]

But crocodiles do need to be added to vurhonga there's a sign at the bridge warning about them

[odd gull]

thayre just smaller croc

[gaunt storm]

Sweden's too cold for them

[odd gull]

but most live in rainforest

[quaint lintel]

No ... Giraffes, Hyppos and Crocs (most legal of big species to hunt) are saved for Africa 2.0 and I don't mind it lol

[gaunt storm]

They would die in the Winter time

The alligator is the most cold resistant crocodillion on Earth and it does not live North of Kentucky

So there certainly won't be any in Sweden

[odd gull]

mabye not gator can go to freezing water put thare nose out of the water and go into brumaithen all reptiles do

[quaint lintel]

K, back to it being a Sweden map ... so far maybe: Mallards, few more duck species, geese, Euro Bison
Maybe Beavers too?! 👀

[gaunt storm]

Moose

[quaint lintel]

Elk maybe?

[odd gull]

but for beavers thay would need to do beaver dams too

[gaunt storm]

Elk are North American and Asia

It would have to be red deer

[quaint lintel]

We can even get our First European map with Bears ... Brown bears maybe

[odd gull]

also HAVE DO BEAVER MAKE TREES FALL ON MY STANDS IN AFRICA

[gaunt storm]

They are God beavers

The same is also true at New Zealand

[odd gull]

IN THE MIDDLE OF A OPEN FIELD WITH NO TREES

[quaint lintel]

Oh yea, if we get beavers, I'm gonna take my revenge for all of my tents and stands with 470!

[odd gull]

thay cant do beavers cuze thay need to do beaver dams and those are hard to do

[quaint lintel]

I had once a beaver cut down a tree on my tripod in the middle of Rancho's desert

[gaunt storm]

Not necessarily I've seen beavers without dams anywhere near them

[glacial summit]

hawaii confirmed?

[gaunt storm]

They could just use gator mechanics

[glacial summit]

(yet)

[odd gull]

cuze thay dident make one yet

[quaint lintel]

We don't even have Hawaii on the in game globe map xD

[gaunt storm]

It's been 2 years

[stiff leaf]

someone ping me when theres some new clue or shit like that

[gaunt storm]

They are still hanging around there

[glacial summit]

Let me dream damnit

No but seriously we found anything yet?

Like any actual hints

[gaunt storm]

Not really

[odd gull]

thay need to take more trees down to repair thare dams

[quaint lintel]

4 confirmed hints!

[stiff leaf]

yees

[odd gull]

FUN FACT thares a beaver dam in ohio you can see from SPACE

[glacial flame]

Indeed

[glacial flame]

Holy

[gaunt storm]

That is impressive

But yeah the beavers where I am they are not interested in building a damn then again I don't blame them we don't have the right kind of trees here

[glacial flame]

That’s where the boss is

[gaunt storm]

They are down in the desert they must have swim down the Colorado river

Or whatever river they came from

[odd gull]

it just means thay were thare for so long thay had to build on

[gaunt storm]

Let him have his fun

Once we've all hunted our diamond beavers

We must go there to face the final boss

[glacial flame]

It’s where you’d find the boss beaver tho 👀

With 100 small ones 😂

[odd gull]

thares a anchient beaver called casedarodies that were so big thay lived on land

[glacial summit]

dub

[odd gull]

and thay dident build damns

[quasi holly]

it’s making me suspicious that we’re getting a waterfowl remake and they put a boat on one of the screenshots

[glacial summit]

@glacial flame didn’t realize you were an official cc now when did that happen?

[gaunt storm]

Played ARK?

[odd gull]

yea but im also a paleo nerd hehe

[glacial flame]

Earlier today- still can’t believe it lol

[glacial summit]

Congrats!

[glacial flame]

Thank you so much!!

[glacial flame]

That’s the GO beaver 🦫

[tame storm]

I actually didn't know that, and I am from Ohio. I am quite curious now

[odd gull]

hes not in the pc list tho

[odd gull]

your welcome come to me for weird usless facts

[tame storm]

Honestly, beaver are such an oddity in certain parts of Ohio. Like, they exist, but no one knows they exist

[silent temple]

If it is another US map they better give us like 5 more GO’s and squirrels. Plus like a slingshot or blowgun. That could make up for it.

[tame storm]

Actually, apparently they are on my college campus, wth?

[glacial flame]

Bro I’d be so excited

[odd gull]

thare teeth never stop growing so thay chew on tress to grind them down also thayre teeth are so shark thayve killed peps

[glacial flame]

I’d be bringing my camera to photograph them lol

[quaint lintel]

@agile mortar Here's what I think each photo as a clue was hinting at! I don't know If I'm right or no, but I know you can't give me the answer xD

[tame storm]

We had a beaver that lived in a hole next to my barracks at AIT, you'd perform roaming guard at night and get chased by it

[glacial flame]

I’ve seen some real cool examples of teeth from various rodents that didn’t get worn down

It’s crazy gnarly what can happen

[silent temple]

My buddy caught a beaver while fishing

[odd gull]

my school i was at befor i started home school we hade goher tortiose that nested thare we were kids form pre k to grade 5 and we couldednt touch them but thay would alays get in the way

[silent temple]

Tried tail whapping us

[odd gull]

beavers have killed peps so thats terrafing

[tame storm]

When I get back on campus I'll walk the creek looking for 'em, according the the department I'm studying under there is a couple research articles about their impact in the area

[glacial flame]

That’s kinda epic I won’t lie to you 👀

[tame storm]

theHunter: COTW: beaver fishing simulator

[odd gull]

yea when thay build dams thay change the ways streams flow to stop lost of things from happenig

[silent temple]

This road by me floods every rainstorm because of a dam but nobody destroys it

[tame storm]

Probably illegal to, disruption of wildlife nests is a huge no no in a lot of states

[odd gull]

beaver dams hold the babbys so if you destroy one it will kill them

and the parents will just rebuild it anyways

[rocky wyvern]

your really stuck on that boat transfer shit huh

its all you talk about g

for the past few days

[quaint lintel]

Lol, of that photo out of all 4, yea that's my theory, and if I was gonna post all 4, that one was gonna be there expected xD

[tropic wolf]

🦌

[rocky wyvern]

i dont understand what you like so much

can you just say why your so in love with a boat transfer

[tawdry nebula]

🦌

[quaint lintel]

It's not about what I like, I'd like to get an Australian or Himalayan map without boats, but it's about what is in the photo and I'm making a theory lol

[rocky wyvern]

fair enough

[tropic wolf]

hee hee deer

[haughty aurora]

?

[midnight moon]

when do you think they will reveal the next map

they said next month but when next month

[jade thicket]

in the news today may is mentioned

#📢︴game-news message

[silver fog]

So

Any further hints?

Missed the stream today and it's a wee bit late

Ah, saw the screens.

Nice.

[bold meteor]

Anything new? I’ve been gone for about 3 hours

[wind ridge]

nothing

[bold meteor]

That’s what I thought

[midnight moon]

what if game companies just told all their plans immediately and what they are going to do

[bold meteor]

You got a point there

[limber cliff]

Hey fam

Anything new in the clue hood?

[stiff leaf]

holy sh thats an amazing gif

[lunar crag]

wtf is going on there

lynx, moose, reindeer, muks deer and everything

[tribal sail]

You'll need to "view original" and zoom in to see the details. But I'm saying Canadian reserve with Elk Great Ones. Thoughts?

[quasi holly]

what the fuck is that

what is that hulk looking thing

[stiff leaf]

its a monster

from the te awaroa missions

[quasi holly]

wh

[stiff leaf]

its something to do with the movie props

[quasi holly]

bruh

if only we could shoot it

[edgy shore]

its on mississippi too

[limber cliff]

Is he really??

[midnight moon]

Has anyone considered that it's maybe not a Mallard and it's a Rouen? They're strikingly similiar, but Rouens are massive in comparison.

The only thing that strikes that theory is that Rouens don't typically fly, but I suppose they can if spooked enough.... but maybe that's why they have ground landing ducks now.

What a great way to showcase new duck reworks, than the Godzilla version of a Mallard.. you could call it "Great".

Rouens hail from France, but are also in England... I think they're possibly in Sweden too? Maybe Expansive Worlds wants to finally hit their homeland. They have good Goose hunting too.

[bold meteor]

When meggles said something to think about with the upside down smiling emoji maybe that means we need to look at the community update screen shots upside down?

[frosty cobalt]

You’re thinking way too hard about this

[bold meteor]

It was just a thought

[tribal sail]

Maybe it's a hint that the next update will turns us (or things in game) on our heads.

[limber cliff]

Good thought!

[wind ridge]

I think EW always says the same thing every year at this event, but this time I'll say it...
"Think outside the box".... it means "don't take everything literally", don't take every word literally, No clues are hidden behind the words they say, they just say them and that's it, the clues are thought out in advance, they don't give clues or insinuate anything, they don't affirm or deny anything, they only deliver the official clues and we do the rest...
The clues are those 4 images, nothing more...

[midnight moon]

I'm going to stick with my Rouen theory. The "Godzilla Mallard". Looks simliar to a Swedish lake too, the kinds of long docks they have w old rowboats.

A Godzilla Rouen would be a great way to showcase new duck mechanics, give us a more substantial duck, although they look almost identical to a Mallard. Theyre not the same though.

I think Expansive Worlds wants to show love to their country

So are we pretty confident that its gonna be sweden?

[wind ridge]

#🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[midnight moon]

Sweden has more lakes than most of Europe too, 100,000 or so

[wind ridge]

Everyone interprets the clues differently, for now here are some reasons why it may be Canada, but there are other theories that it may be Sweden/Finland

[wind ridge]

#🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[midnight moon]

Mountains in the bg look similar too

You have to separate what you personally want it to be.

I really think it’s Canada tbh

Expansive Worlds already threw in New Zealand for their Kiwi brethren. Makes sense they'd tribute their home country

[wind ridge]

I personally want Finland, but I don't see any clues that point to it.
The above are just the reasons they remember from the channel about those who believe it will be Canada

[midnight moon]

I think it's a Rouen, not a Mallard. Hence the difference in model. Rouens tend to be slightly sleeker on the neck

[vapid garden]

I think it's just a new model since the current one sucks

that and rouens are domesticated and too big to fly most of the time

[wind ridge]

is new, part of the waterfowl rework

[vapid garden]

like way too big

[wind ridge]

a fat duck xD

[tawdry nebula]

If they added this I gonna delete this game

[glacial flame]

200% this

[bold meteor]

Can you do polls on discord?

[limber cliff]

Actual mallard GO

[stuck crown]

I may have figured out what the second clues is hear me out the second clue may be where all the waterfowl in the game can be found in a single area we have Mallards, Cinnamon Teal,Harlequin Duck, And Canada Goose , all four of these birds are found in different maps in the game but has anyone considered that maybe if all four of these birds can be found is one region of the world, Indeed there is a place where all four of these birds can be found. That place Is British Columbia, Canada.

[stoic rune]

Anyone thought to hunter classic? EW also made classic

[midnight moon]

Right i said that above. Youre only showing an extremely fat one. This is a Rouen too.

And i literally said right away that rouens typically dont fly, but they will short distance if spooked

[vapid garden]

It's just very unlikely imo, I've never heard of anyone hunting a domesticated duck but idk what swedish people do in their free time

[candid cliff]

Possibly

[wind ridge]

True
https://birdwatchinghq.com/ducks-in-british-columbia/

[inner phoenix]

Exakt is exact in Swedish

[candid cliff]

Hmm

[wintry frost]

EW is based in Sweden, right?

[wind ridge]

yes

[candid cliff]

Hes right so possibly

[glacial summit]

Hawaii

Bruh whut

[wind ridge]

Marksman Exakt has "made in sweden" written on the side since 2017

[glacial summit]

My nitro ran out

Riiiiiip

[wind ridge]

his name is written in swedish

[candid cliff]

Huh so if this is a clue the map is pointing to Sweden

[glacial summit]

Ima have to renew that tomorrow ig

[candid cliff]

So what species are new that we could hunt there

[deft fern]

Surely the upside down emoji isn't referencing the joke that everything in Australia is upside down right?

[wind ridge]

a clue from 2017?

[glacial summit]

Oh yeah

they teased this map day after release

[stoic rune]

Is there an Australian map in classic? if so someone should probably check it out

[wind ridge]

xDD

[deft fern]

There is yep

[stuck crown]

@candid cliff wolverine, European Gray Wolf,European beaver,Capercaillie, to name a few with, Brown Bear,Moose, Roe deer, Reindeer and Eurasian lynx as possible returning species.

[deft fern]

2 I believe

[acoustic elbow]

Yes, there are two Australian maps in Classic

[stoic rune]

If you can probably check them out. Might be a clue there

[wind ridge]

no clues in other games

[stiff leaf]

yeah, thats not happening

[stoic rune]

Ok

[stiff leaf]

no clues are gonna be cross-game

[deft fern]

I'd rather wait until tuesday when there is another clue ahhaa

@stiff leaf Has that been confirmed though?

[glacial summit]

That would be stupid

[wind ridge]

every year

[glacial summit]

Because then people would think they are teasing things for classic

not gonna happen honestly

[stiff leaf]

nope, but thats just bullshit if the devs do do that.

[glacial summit]

would just end up with a bunch of people pissed off

[candid cliff]

So I would assume that if Sweden is the map they would redo lynx, brown bears, reindeer, mallard, and new species would be capercaillie, new duck species, new geese species, and maybe a new medium game with beavers

[inner phoenix]

Maybe black grouse too

[candid cliff]

Nah I think 3 or 2 animals are going to be small game and then have some medium to big game

[stuck crown]

Hopefully new map is Sweden/ Scandinavia for new Brown Bear Remodel, current model is bad, claws are wrong shape, fur is bad, it’s a remodel of old black bear model.

[inner phoenix]

True

[quaint lintel]

Well, that proves it, why would they randomly throw a Swedish word in an English paragraph

[inner phoenix]

Ya probably

[frosty cobalt]

Because they’re Swedish and the word is very similar

[quaint lintel]

Why they didn't do that last 5 years in any English paragraph they posted

[wind ridge]

the name of the article is written in Swedish

[frosty cobalt]

Maybe they did and we didn’t notice because we weren’t looking for it

[nimble swan]

Anybody want to jump down this rabbit hole (#1624) and see if it has any relevance? It may have always been there but I dunno. This is able to be spotted from the location Jaxy was streaming from on Tuesday. I've included coordinates for where I'm standing at looking at it and the orange marker is roughly on its location on the map. Could be nothing but it's definitely out of place. On another note, Jaxy kept making reference to ROCK...

[wind ridge]

since 2017

[inner phoenix]

That could be a clue

[bold meteor]

Are you saying that a clue might be at that location?

[tribal sail]

Thanks. They're lots of them here from everyone.

[midnight moon]

Rock = Rock Mouflon?

[wind ridge]

#🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[unkempt condor]

Rock Ptarmigan

[coarse nymph]

Crumbling, decaying rock... = Hirsch Castle?

[inner wasp]

Possibly

[bold meteor]

That makes sense, someone should go check it out

[glacial summit]

Holy cow its getting desperate in here

They shoulda made this easier

[inner wasp]

Lol

[glacial summit]

I haven’t seen you in here for a minute

[inner wasp]

I pop in from time to time

[wind hemlock]

Has anyone ever gotten a message about a beaver felling a tree on a portable structure?!

[fallen yew]

I actually prefer the challenge in guessing clues, hints, etc. Usually in a few days we end up figuring it out lol.

[edgy shore]

yea, started a long time ago lol

[wind hemlock]

Ok, it's the first time I've ever seen that pop up.

[quaint lintel]

Confirmed, we're getting Dwayne Johnson in the game

[bold meteor]

I have got it as often as I used to

[wind hemlock]

It's weird, I was on Miss, and it popped up after a loud pop in the distance. Lol

[bold meteor]

That must mean that the voice for the ranger in the next map is going to be Dwayne Johnson!

For those who always take me seriously I’m just kidding, it would be cool though

[midnight moon]

So ive done some investigating into the 4 screenshots...this is my mockup of the new map - at least what we can see. It is possible this may be a smaller map.

[quaint lintel]

It's .... Beautiful! 😭

[midnight moon]

i spent hours on the drawing.

[quaint lintel]

That is what's beautiful about it
