i would not count reindeer as a wild animal

#

becuse someone ownes them

dire sable

#

Yeah, lots of escaped reindeer turned wild

prime hare

But there is also a rare Finnish subspecies

prime hare

#

i thougth that they where extinct

prime hare
#

not extinct, but very endangered

regal ferry
#

Some guy yesterday said you could still get tags for them though

prime hare
#

oh? it's improved then

#

nice

prime hare
#

good news

dire sable
#

Few Forest reindeers are hunted yearly, but wolves are eating them also, so population isn't growing too much

cold dove
#

imagen if we get a owl specie it would be cool

regal ferry
#

The Finnish government only has them listed as near threatened

regal ferry
# cold dove tags?

Permission to hunt an individual of the species, these are often limited with rare species irl, but we don't have a system like it in game

prime hare
#

having tags sounds more like a The Hunter Classic thing

kindred iron
regal ferry
#

Even they don't have it. It would be a very big pain to deal with

regal ferry
regal ferry
#

But there are already animals in game that would require tags irl, so no reason not to but the forest reindeer in

#

Except perhaps range and stuff

#

Aparrently they are one of the biggest subspecies of reindeer

cold dove
#

wtf french has reindeer ?!!?!

regal ferry
#

Wikipedia page I'm geussing?

cold dove
#

yes

regal ferry
#

France is cheating, they put a couple on a small island near Antarctica which is technically france

#

So now Wikipedia says France has reindeer

cold dove
#

so they shouldnt count?

regal ferry
#

Kinda

cold dove
#

well in that case uk is cheating too

#

i hope that beaver getsaded

regal ferry
#

It's a bit wierd to say they live in France, they live on like Kergeulen islands

regal ferry
cold dove
#

yeah on a small island

#

outside the scottish main land

regal ferry
#

They also have a free roam herd, which I s what I was thinking of, but those aren't wild

cold dove

#

im so damn hyped for the Finland map

#

i sure hope there is snow tho

cold dove
#

i really hope they add beaver and otter

#

becuse they are cute

radiant patio
#

so you want to shoot them?

#

O_O

#

yea but i dont think they will add beavers atleast maybe otters

cold dove
#

and i also hope they add animal children in a future update

radiant patio
#

no

#

Sad it's not Australia

glad its Finland

#

i had hoped for sweden but i am happy that it is finalnd

Confirmed: Whitetail, Brown Bear, Moose, Capercaillie, Black Grouse and Raccoon Dog

I expect: Forest Reindeer, Roe Deer, Lynx, Wolverine, Wolf, European Beaver, Mountain Hare, Fox, Bean Goose, Mallard,
Common Goldeneye, Common Teal, Eurasian Wigeon

quick grail
#

I'm hyped for the amount of species there is

wintry saddle
#

How do you know they are confirmed

tardy plinth
#

I was wondering hat type of gun we're going to get with this DLC
Maybe a gun resembling Sako guns (finnish gun manufacturer)? like this TRG 22 (.308 Win)

tardy plinth
tardy plinth
#

Sako's TRG series resembles fancy "AR style", they also have wooden stocks and more "old-shool" styled hunting rifles

#

(Screenshot from Sako's website to portray what I mean by "AR style")

jaunty marten
#

Any idea when the update drops? Need that weapon wheel on console lol

warm pelican
#

How about that! I hail from Finland and only last year got my hunting license as a middle aged person, looked around for a modern equivalent of Deer Hunter 2005 (played that a bit back in the day) and noticed COTW. Have used the game for practising shot placement [in order to be a better hunter IRL], participated IRL in driven moose hunting. Apart from that some small game hunting.

I hope they'd add wood pigeon (could be hunted like geese with decoys in a field). Also hope we'll see one day more cartridge types for rifles apart from soft points and polymer tips (say a 30-06 could fire a light quickly expanding varmint bullet but also a general purpose medium weight bullet all the way upwards of 14-15 gram / 220-240 grain bullets for larger game that is quite not possible anymore with say a 308Win), this would make different rifles more versatile like bows at the moment.

#

...and for the record, while I am glad Finland will feature in COTW, I am also sad that Sweden did not at this time (five year anniversary and all). A bit like the summer olympics of 1996 went to Atlanta instead of Athens EWBronze Though we did get that Swedish handcannon (.454) of course 😎

rancid pecan
#

If pointers are ever going to be a thing, they'll be a separate dlc
And will introduce a secondary way of hunting animals such as the capercaillie, the proper way

#

Keyword: secondary

#

Dlc exclusive

tawdry nebula
#

What maps that will get resets?

knotty horizon
dire sable
# rancid pecan Dlc exclusive

Yes separate Dog dlc probably. And Finnish Spitz is better for Capercaillie and Pointters for smaller Grouse species. I assume that Capercaillie hunting is gonna be just stalking them with rifle and you sometimes heard that Capercaillie flicking sound

midnight moon
#

Idk if I am more exited for a new map with tons of fowl or for waterfowl fix

#

Anyways, I am off to do my grand goal I failed to do in 1st 100 hours

#

Anyways, the waterfowl fix is coming with Finland, right?

mighty dove
#

This map is gonna be full animal-wise. I know SRP has a habit of being too full, but honestly I don’t mind. It’s nice seeing animals roaming the map no matter where you go. I just hope they spread them out evenly so you are not seeing them here but not there, forcing you to hunt one area

#

And I am about to bring it up, but Hirsch has a habit of not being evenly spread out with its animals

#

There’s plenty there of course, I have no trouble finding them, but sometimes I will trek hundreds or even thousands of steps without seeing a track or hearing a call

#

(don’t kill me, Victor 😅)

midnight moon
#

Will this map be hilly?

mighty dove
#

I don’t think we can really tell until the full trailer is released

midnight moon
#

Ok

#

Anyways, getting my shotgun, getting ma 22LR, I am doing my goal before this releases, damn it

mighty dove
#

What’s your goal?

midnight moon
mighty dove
#

Cool

midnight moon
#

All I need is cinammon teal

mighty dove
#

I have no fowl taxed except geese

midnight moon
#

I am a fowl enthusiaist

mighty dove
#

This map will be just right for you I expect

midnight moon
#

Yeah

#

How much will it cost? More or less than 6.13 euros?

mighty dove
#

No more than 8, no less than 5 so some where between those two numbers

#

They usually cost a bit leas during first launch

midnight moon
#

All maps are 7.99 euros so I am hoping for at least 30,34% off

peak cedar
#

it'll cost the same as the other maps

thorn marsh
#

Or usd I’m not sure

peak cedar
#

interesting, cheaper?

#

they probably have something else planned after this like I said if that's the case

thorn marsh
#

Yes they said they wanted to make things more affordable so everyone can play new maps but they still need to make profit

peak cedar
#

Based on every reserve released ever in this game. It'll be 4 weeks max after the teaser is shown for the release of Revontuli Coast

#

So either May 31st for 3 weeks or June 7th for 4 weeks 😛

thorn marsh
#

I agree I’m thinking May 31st

rancid pecan
peak cedar
#

then after I bet we're getting a Retriever DLC

thorn marsh
#

It would fit with waterfowl

peak cedar
#

2 months after the map comes out

peak cedar
#

they said this on stream?

thorn marsh
peak cedar
#

interesting

thorn marsh
#

I’m a duck hunter IRL and it is the best thing to have a retriever to go get the ducks unlike in game, you usually hunt in tiny areas with a few inches of water or you hunt on the deep sea and ducks do not float to you

#

But I get it from an developer standpoint to make it easier for players

#

What is the 1# species you want to see on Finland?

dire sable
#

What is the 1# species you want to see on Finland? -> Capercaillie

Can't wait for this map

OH SHIT I SEE A SIZE 7 RED DEER

dire sable
#

IRL Capercaillie is so awesome. Mighty bird😎

a solider in norway got arrested for attacking a capercaillie and a skier got seriously hurt from getting attacked by one

I do love the capercaillie model

Are the birds shootable at trees? Or are they just on ground?

Where i can leave update suggestions

thorn marsh
midnight moon
#

Yes. Never seen anyone hunt for a job so I would be suprised if you are

thorn marsh
#

No I am not I hunt for fun but I eat every kill i do do some population control in big cities though not with duck but with geese and iguanas

midnight moon
#

Cool

thorn marsh
#

Yeah we got 17 iguanas and 1 goose last time

Population reset: there's another one planned for the update that coincides with the new map. What is the change/feature that was added that would require a pop reset on so many of the maps? It looks like some of the maps from the previous major update and map (Mississippi) will get reset again.

thorn marsh
midnight moon
#

All fowl currently in game are 3 turkeys,3 ducks, geese, quail and phesants, right?

thorn marsh
#

Yes correct

midnight moon
#

I fucking did it

#

After 101.4 hours of gameplay... I taxed every fowl species in game

#

When tons of birds are added... oh shit, will it be fun

thorn marsh
#

Try 250+ Bitch

I’ve played it almost every day since release

That you could get for any animals

Would love to see wigeon just because they’re one of my favorites to hunt

Yeah, finnish forest reindeer looks similar to a reindeer but they are 2 different species, finnish forest reindeer is also very rare with around 20 of them shot each year

Once I get the new map all I’ll be doing is walking around the forest with a camo 270.

I hope they have more realistic formations like this again example from backyard

Those are ducks.Although all ducks fly in different formations

This is my prediction for the 19 species:
Moose
Brown Bear
Finnish Forest Reindeer
Whitetail Deer
Wild Boar
Roe Deer
Raccoon Dog
Eurasian Badger or Red Fox
Mountain Hare
Capercaillie
Black Grouse
Hazel or Willow Grouse
Mallard
Pintail
Eurasian Wigeon
Common Teal

Canada Goose
Greylag or Bean Goose
European or american beaver is also an option but I don't think it's very likely to come

#

By now with how species lists I’ve seen someone has had to nail it

thorn marsh
#

I think we call them Eurasian teal here

full parrot
#

There are 19 animals??

languid wedge
dire sable
#

The Eurasian teal (Anas crecca), common teal, or Eurasian green-winged teal

clever oar
#

Now that I think about it wood pigeon would be a cool one but I don't think they'd add it

dire sable
clever oar
#

Wood pigeon is also the most hunted species in Finland if I remember correctly

thorn marsh
#

It would definitely be the smallest animal in cotw

#

I doubt it though

clever oar
#

Quail

#

Wood pigeon are 0.3-0.6kg or 300-600g

midnight moon
#

Are there squirrels in game? You know, like the rats in Classic

lusty orbit
#

I don't think there will be more than the two announced upland birds

thorn marsh
dire sable

#

Wood pigeon and squirrel’s would at least give us a new spin on things by incorporating the trees

With the reset on all the maps are we gona have to find all our need zones again ?

So many maps. Been playing since epic gave the game free. I've bought everything but haven't even tried all the maps yet. Still excited for Finland

Personally I love the state where I live mainly because we have Eastern, Merriam's, and Rio Grande turkeys

I hope they actually add the Wood duck to Finland. One of the best looking ducks. The Loon is gorgeous too

Wood duck unfortunately are America-exclusive

# thorn marsh Ahh

me and my friends all agree that for some reason Washington state is bipolar in some way as one half of it is a rainforest and the other half is a desert and the desert side gets more snow.

#

possibly the reason that we have so many species of animals here

tacit minnow
#

So it's not native to Finland but the Wood duck has been spotted in Finland as a result of escaped ducks. Wouldn't that be an awesome way to have a rare

I’m pretty sure next Tuesday is gonna be the full trailer

peak cedar
thorn marsh
peak cedar
#

it takes two weeks to cert on console

#

so it's likely

#

but not 100%

thorn marsh
peak cedar
#

Generally when things begin to say "coming soon" for DLC they come within that week. If it has a month timeframe it's longer.

#

Parque was "coming soon" it came 6 days after the trailer. Same with Yukon which was 4 days after the trailer

mighty dove
#

I am assuming that the full trailer will be released next Tuesday and within that week or two the map will officially be launched. One week is usually reserved for the CCs to try it out first

thorn marsh
#

I reckon release on May 31st

peak cedar
#

Taking my prediction 😩

thorn marsh
#

Go way back in the chat it’s everybody’s prediction

peak cedar
#

I didn't see a single person state it before me but ok

mighty dove
#

It’s not that hard to figure out a loose date for the launch

peak cedar
#

harder than one might think

#

releases are never consistent

mighty dove
#

Loose date

#

But I also haven’t seen anyone else say the 31st either

#

If I had a say it would be today

#

👏

round pine
#

Lots hope it’s not late release for console

peak cedar
#

I hope it's two weeks from now and it's a "coming soon" label. Would be more of a shock to people who don't know the pattern and such

mighty dove
peak cedar
#

they did say the way things are looking sim ship is still the plan

thorn marsh
lusty orbit
#

When do you think they'll start releasing the animal info pics for finland?

mighty dove
#

Probably within the next week

thorn marsh
mighty dove
#

They usually do it after the trailer has launched

lusty orbit
#

and now we do

mighty dove
#

Not a full list

peak cedar
#

to keep hype peeked. One should be done almost everyday

mighty dove
#

But then again they seem to be doing things earlier than normal so we could get them at any time

thorn marsh
#

With te awaroa they released pics of sika and hogs right after the release of teaser

peak cedar
#

19 species. It's easy as hell to dribble that out.

thorn marsh
peak cedar
#

yeah but the info cards is what I'm talking about

thorn marsh
#

Maybe

#

They did do that for MA

lusty orbit
peak cedar
#

Easy content for the CCs, more hype for the community. Nobody forgets about the map because it will be in your face everyday before release. Ideally CCs will get a weekend and NOT a full week to show off the map. Full week kills the hype.

mighty dove
thorn marsh
#

I don’t think they are going to cover every species in the trailer or it would be like 5 minutes long but I think on Tuesday they’ll release a full or like70% list just to keep us guessing

peak cedar
#

you could easily do it in 1:30-2 mins

#

most of the ducks and geese will probably come in as mixed groups

#

similar to classic

warm basin
#

They said they revealed it early so release is still probably in June

thorn marsh
#

Yea but they don’t really do that IRL

peak cedar
#

Not necessarily

mighty dove
#

I don’t care if the trailer is long. Give me a whole backstory to the reserve while showing every animal. Get me hyped up

lusty orbit
#

hope we get a brown bear multi mount of some kind

thorn marsh
peak cedar
#

not what I was commenting on 🙂

thorn marsh

Usually they’ll mix once they’ve started feeding

Eh

thorn marsh

#

The speed isn't really a problem imo if they work like geese then I'm happy

thorn marsh
#

Very little

peak cedar
#

the speed is a huge problem for "realism"

thorn marsh
peak cedar
#

they also don't cut back and forth at 90 degree angles either.

thorn marsh
#

They also don’t nose dive

warm basin

I'm sure they will prob show it off Tuesday

I'm excited to see geese on the water in hirsch

maybe we will see next week

#

I think the next little bit you'll see towards the new map will be Thursday after the classic stream or Friday.

lusty orbit
#

i think we'll only see the trailer next week, nothing else

peak cedar
#

because they've dropped a full on trailer after a classic stream before.

thorn marsh
#

I think that something is coming between today and Tuesday

#

Next Tuesday

thorn marsh
#

Any predictions or hopes for terrain and foliage on the new map

radiant patio
#

that has been there for like 5 years

#

for that absolute simulation

thorn marsh
#

Or a pile of beer cans and broken bottles that have been there for 20 years

#

the best way probably won't be fields anymore

mighty dove
#

Geese are going to get need zones

mighty dove
#

They probably will not be same after this update

jade thicket

yeah the game is switching up in lots of ways this update is going to be exciting

All I care about is that they finally added Finland

are those mountains on the background..?

They have to have some sort of boundary around the map

I’m interested in what types of geese and ducks will be on this map

mighty dove

They represent real places, but they are still fictional maps

Also hoping that ducks on the other maps will be actually fun to hunt

#

Hunting harlequins properly would be cool

#

the Western Capercaillie, Black Grouse, Brown Bear, Whitetail Deer, Raccoon Dog,

#

are raccoon dogs big or classed as vermin ?

frail tusk
#

Probably vermin

#

Moose and mallards are also confirmed

#

Moose from the xbox page, mallards from the clues

midnight moon
#

Raccoon Dogs aren't that big to be honest, around the size of a cat probably KEKW

ancient sorrel

#

I believe they're invasive to Finland

#

Think they come from Japan?

#

anywhere in europe raccoons are invasive

theyre from north america

But raccoons are also invasive yes

i just go and see "oh its this time" and i go check a few areas

midnight moon
#

Can they just call raccoon dogs "fake Wolverines" smh

midnight moon
#

Yes

#

Its what they are

vapid estuary
#

I call raccoon dogs as "supi"

inland night
#

in poland we call em Jenot so the more english friendly version would be Yenot for yall to say

#

atleast closer when saying

#

Wolverines are a mustelid, raccoon dogs are canids

midnight moon

#

they're also more closely related to foxes than regular raccoons 🤔

midnight moon
#

So I had a thought last night. If brown brown bear ends up the GO. How would you grind them? I’m assuming females would make GO too right?

#

Not going to lie. Watched a show last night about hunting massive brown bear and it has me hoping they are the GO. Would be awesome.

#

Why do we even need new 22lr?

#

Unless it is like a 1-2 or 1-3 but I doubt it

We already have 3 22s

a semi auto 12GA would be good

From what i read online racoon dogs are a type of fox

Yeah they are

radiant patio

Greater source of money is a friend with trash pc

Good thing I don’t cheat except on my diets

fresh prairie
#

The biggest problem i have with the hunting experience overall is the hunting methods, its usually one of the 2, if you do it the way the game wants you to:

  1. Stalking, find the tracs, follow the tracs and shoot the animal. This type of hunting is extremely rare irl, yet its the go to method in cotw
  2. Luring, pretty much everything can be lured in cotw, even though for a lot of animals that would only work spring time, when hunting isnt allowed usually

I understand that currently the game doesnt have any real hunting dogs, dogs used as pointers, stoppers or chasers and thats why a lot of animals have a made up hunting method, as irl they almost always need a dog. For example pheasant and quail are 99% of time hunted with pointers, the 1% with luck. European hare is practically always hunted with a dog, yet in the game its being hunted by following warning thumps, which they dont do irl.

The animal behaviour is extremely predictable, for example ducks always fly this "placeholder type" of flying, which im sure will get improved at some point but it has been as bad for years now.

The game also doesnt understand the difference in ammunition which i will explain next

thorn marsh

And yea he definitely did download them

Rule J also covers the discussion of things, so let's get back on topic please

the tracks could be actual tracks, not just highlighed marks on the map between every 15 meters

mighty dove
#

Hm, that could work

warm basin
#

Them making it more realistic would only lose them players cotw is a casual hunting game for people that just wanna relax imo

fresh prairie
#

i played classic 7 years ago and back then it had the same track system cotw now has, has it changed?

sonic drum
#

So are we thinking a new shotgun or rifle any fins in here what's your nations go to guns calibers etc

fresh prairie
#

i am

uneven bloom
#

It does have a track system, but they're harder to find than COTW's. The animals are also far less predictable.

fresh prairie
mighty dove
#

Classic is more realistic than CoTW

fresh prairie
#

last time i checked Classic was more expensive to play than real hunting, but again, 7 years ago

dusk sail
#

Better question,for the people that duck/upland/goose hunt irl

Which would you rather have?

12 or 10 gauge?

Semi auto or pump?[10 gauge]

Why?

Classic is free to play

it has always been "free to play"

#

Just a thought I was having with 19 species on the map it's more likely a reduction of the number of animals per species. Rather than a increased number on the map, unless they have reworked “home ranges” to allows more animals somehow

spring minnow
#

Most likely each species have their areas and are not spread across the map

#

Quite easy with birds which prefer certain areas like coasts, thick forests, lake / river biomes etc

vapid garden
#

Well most of those are gonna be small game like ducks so Im sure they have less impact on performance

#

if it was a map with 19 big game animals then people might have problems running it lmao

19 big game animals is something nobody could run

unless there was maybe 30-50 of each species on the map

I always see “we want elephants” but it cant be in the game I feel due to it's current set up. Here is why I feel running around a map blasting elephants isn't going to be fun as they will be easily spotted being so big etc. So they would have to implement a system where you get a tag for a rogue dangerous male or something and that's the one you can shoot, otherwise it turns into an arcade shoot em up

Elephants were stated as "not happening anytime soon" by Jaxy in a stream.
