#Updating older missions to remove guaranteed failed harvest checks

On both Hirschfelden and Layton, there remain missions that contain fragments of a time where the .270 was ethical to use on coyotes, foxes, and roe deer. This has not been true for some time now, and thus there is a guaranteed-failed harvest check waiting for anyone who does those missions.

My suggestion is: have "The Great Coyote Tour" require the .243 instead of the .270

"The Fox and the Scope" to require usage of the Argus scope on any rifle (or if that's beyond coding possibility, any scoped rifle)

and for Sommer #6 to require the .243 instead of the .270 as well.

In the same vein, Quick Kill and Consecutive Harvest are vestiges of the old system that are no longer displayed for the player but still factor into some mission objectives. All they do at this point is send people to social media to ask what they are.

Quick Kill actually factors into how much money you get from harvesting an animal

#

it's a small bonus, but still a bonus

In that case it should be a visible stat.

And what has happened to missions where the backfill has added animals? I am thinking of Parque where the last mission is to get a diamond of each species....but that was before peccary were aded to the map

No problem

Argus takes a long time to unlock so I'm inclined to vote against this suggestion as Hirschfelden is an introduction map for new players in many cases (since it comes with the base game).

Otherwise a good idea to change the caliber from 270 to 243 though.

One of Hirsch's main missions involves using a late-unlocked weapon. (Choice of scoped .45-70, the Cacciacore, Hawk Edge, and the base .454) so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

In-game dialogue also suggests that it was meant to be the Argus in the first place, as it specifies a high-magnification scope.

Does seem like a weird decision to force the player to use an unethical weapon to complete a mission. And it has always been that way, the .270 has never been ethical for coyote, red fox or roe deer. Makes it even more strange.
