There’s an increasing possibility we get a Canadian Arctic map In December and we will probably get Grizzly Bear the model of the grizzly bear is…Grizzly to say the least,with that all Grizzly Bears Desperately need a remodel
And Bears need a Behavioral Rework In general.The Dots that are supposed to be eyes are the first step.

This would also introduce a few new fur types

• Silvertip
• Blonde
• Dusky
• Deep Brown

Also Black Bear being able to eat out of trash cans on Mississippi,New England,Srp like raccoons would be beautiful

Grizzly Bear Remodel

#

Yea I agree the grizzlies look... strange. Especially the eyes.

mint plover
#

What eyes? They’re just black dots

#

Also, some blonde fur type and fixing the albino fur type would be awesome. Finally, a fur type called dusky could be where (like the picture below) the bear’s head or body is more blonde and the other part is brown

Or a silvertip variation!

Or this variation that has quite a lotta color

yes please remodel the grizzly i just can't with there afce anymore !

They also look more like a coastal brown bear than a Grizzly Bear currently. They should be a bit less stocky if they're actually meant to be inland Grizzlies. Their models should look more like this.

bold trellis
#

I'm just not a fan of how they look as a whole. Eyes are hardly visible and they're built strangely, like a torpedo sorta?

Both the black and brown bear got a rework so I don’t see why the grizzlies shouldn’t get one as well

I think the grizzlies look kinda.. 'derpy' aha

also maybe increase class as black bear (max 290kg) is the same class as grizzly bear (max 680kg)

wary junco
# oblique maple also maybe increase class as black bear (max 290kg) is the same class as grizzly...

Tbh the Grizzly Bear max weight is a bit too high currently. According to wikipedia, the heaviest male Grizzly Bears in Alaska are around 389 kilograms. Presumably the max weight for Grizzlies in the game currently is based on the weight of the Kodiak Bear, a separate subspecies from the Kodiak Island Archipelago which can sometimes weigh over 600 kilograms. Considering that Yukon Valley seems to be based on the interior of Alaska and not the coast/Kodiak Island, I think the Grizzlies should have their max weight significantly reduced to better represent the subspecies that lives in the interior of Alaska.

@wary junco I would only be in favor of this if they made a GO Grizzly. It would make the GO stand out more. You are correct on the size though.

I want to add to this.
The current model of Grizzly Bear is always smiling for some reason ... they only smile in cartoons, not in real life, matter of fact they aren't friendly at all in real life and it brings us to the second point.
Grizzly bear aggression needs rework too, they shouldn't have the same aggression that the black bear has in game. Grizzlies are a lot more aggressive in real life than black bears and they should be in game too

gleaming crane
#

To recap this…
•New Fur types
•Adjustments added to Body
•Aggression Reworked,Increased aggression when at a ground kill feed zones
• Two Different Feedzones Salmon Run (Fishing) and Ground kills (current)

A detail that seems to have been missed in all bears of the game, is that bears normally move with their feet pointing inward on all four legs. Yesterday, I noticed that in the game, their hind feet actually turn outward. Now, I can't unsee it...

As for the Grizzlies' eyes, they are pretty small in real life. However, in the game they seem to be placed too low and too close to each other. For me, that is the cause of the "wrong" look.

I‘m a big fan of the bears in game. Their remodels were very good. A remodel of the grizzly would make it one of, if not my favorite species in game🙏🏼

And add black bear to Yukon. It's stupid that they are not there too. Brown black and grizzlies should be there.

I'd love this- heck, give them the same treatment the moose got.

Model/fur rework, add a Great One, and make them more dangerous to hunt.

I'd love for them to turn aggressive sometimes and possibly even stalk players like a puma does sometimes.

@gleaming crane we see eye to eye on alot and yet again I agree

Grizzlies now have the mass over the Eurasian brown bears that are on let's say rev or medved but, they have the same stature and posture the grizzlies in game need almost like a bulldog posture when walking and standing on all fours.

And some feed zones near water for salmon and stuff.

Also why do I get attacked more by wolves something that rarely attacks people but grizzlies always run away yes I get that not every bear is a villain but c'mon.

But overall add a few behavior animations, make them a bit wider and have a bulkier stature and make them stand their ground atleast 20% of the time.

I call em nanulak bears because grolar/pizzly is a stupid name imo, i genuinely cant take it seriously

Its a combination of the indigenous terms nanuq (polar bear) and aklak (grizzly bear). And its a real name for these animals, not something made up on the spot

#

Come to think of it has an inland grizzly bear (what we have in the game) ever reached weights of 680kg because that sounds more like what a really large coastal brown bear would weigh?

gleaming crane
#

I used the ingame weight for my example, but yes, they use the coastal brown bear weights for some reason.

So what would be the max weight for an inland grizzly?

Legit just take the brown bear face and make the muzzle wider and the eyes more front on and then have regular brown as a standard color instead of just grey brown then replace the current rarity state of brown for like a reddish brown and were fine

Tbh Grizzlies and Brown Bears shouldn’t be all that different except grizzlies common fur type should be “Silvertip”

I agree ^ but arent grizzly faces more dish shaped?

#

I think grizzlys if they do a remodel should be bigger and more stocky just because of how they go up to 680kg and brown bears 482kg

Yeah but thats not accurate lol thr weights should be swapped

Woudnt be a first, either. They did change bobcat weights

It should have been included in El Rancho mission, the last Mexican Grizzly Bear, just like the Fiordland Moose mission in Te Awaroa, The Mexican Grizzly Bear in the photo was the last specimen of this subspecies (Ursus arctos nelsoi) and hunted in Chihuahua (Mexico), in 1957.

wary junco
#

We desperately need this rework, the Grizzly Bears in the game currently look really weird. Their eyes are so tiny that you can barely see them in the harvest screen (as you can see here) and their whole head just looks... weird and cartoonish

#

Most of the body looks fine, although I think they look a bit too thick and bulky for inland Grizzlies. Also, their paws are too small for how long those claws are, it just looks unnatural.

Here's some pictures I was able to find online of the Grizzly Bear in Cabela's Big Game Hunter: Pro Hunts

This game came out in 2014, literally over a decade ago, and while their Grizzly Model is far from perfect, it still somehow looks more realistic and less derpy than the one in COTW. That's crazy.

regal orbit
# lone jay While this would have been really cool, Rancho Del Arroyo is set in Sonora, and ...

Assumed former distribution of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Sonora, Mexico, is shown as the shaded area; modified from Leopold (1959). Triangles represent sites of the three historical records of brown bears in Sonora; the plus sign represents the area of sightings reported by Mearns (1907). The star shows location of Arroyo El Oso where the young brown bear described here was killed.

yeah, the Grizzly model in COTW definitely needs some work. Hopefully, if the next map has Grizzlies on it, we might finally get this much-needed rework.

We're getting a wolf and mule deer fluffing this year, so at this point I think the shelf-life of the game will run out before we see improved grizzlies, or any of the other needed updates - Have no doubt, the Devs know about the grizzlies

because of that, I really don't think Call of the Wild is likely to die out anytime soon.

#

That's my hope too, Janny and Fuzion, but whether the owners want it or not, the legacy consoles are coming to an end. I know, I play CotW on a 2014 Xbox One. When the consoles stop getting widespread support, EW or Avalanche will be free to work on CotW 2.0 without all the limitations

wary junco
#

I think they're probably gonna keep working on COTW for a little while even after the support ends for the older generation of consoles. If it's still making them money and they're still able to sell new DLC for the game, why stop support now? Also I don't think they've ever said anything about making a COTW 2

So, a quick scroll down the Feedback threads shows endless requests for existing animal reworks. Roe, Bighorn, Caribou, Reindeer, both Elk, Coyote, Musk, Mountain Goats, Water Buffalo, and Grizzlies, all within the last 2 days.

This year, EW has set the pace at 2 Maps and 2 Reworks per year with Wolves and Mule Deer. That gives us an indication of the personnel and resources they have to dedicate to rework efforts.

At 2 Reworks per year, how long will it take to get to Grizzlies? Probably many years.

What's needed is a focused effort to rework 20 species in 1 year. That doesn't seem likely with current resources.

For example, 2 years ago they did a fluffing of the red deer - I took a pic of a mount Before and After. Is this all we want for the Grizzlies? Seems like they need more than a new hairdo

I mean, maybe they're saving Grizzlies on second map for a future map set in BC or maybe further north in Canada, to have them on a map with Polar Bears. We don't know for sure, but I think it's totally possible considering how EW has done things in the past.

#

still, leaving them out of the Alberta map is a big mistake in my opinion. It's really disappointing.

another map would be cool, but i still think they should consider backfilling them in Alberta

I don't know, I feel like theyve stopped caring about CotW as a game or for the community. They reuse so many things without any changes whatsoever I don't think they ever actually read the most upvoted threads and just push the animals they want

The Grizzly Bear has become more docile than ever. I dislike this behavior — it makes me lose interest in hunting grizzlies.
I often find them frozen in place, which ruins my experience.
I recorded this video so you can clearly see the main issue with the Grizzly Bears: the first grizzly is frozen, and the second one exhibits non-aggressive behavior and ends up running away. ☹️

lone jay
# wheat elbow There not kodiaks they don’t live on the Kodiak arcapago island

They are based on Kodiak Bears. Key words: BASED ON. Yukon Valley is not based on any specific place in Alaska, and the “Grizzlies” on Yukon have the same weight as Kodiak Bears. The heaviest wild grizzly ever confirmed to be legit was a 544kg Grizzly shot in Central Alaska, and that was a very fat fall bear, not a lean summer bear. The “Grizzlies” on Yukon Valley, therefore, are not based on Inland Grizzlies in any way except for name. They are essentially Kodiak Bears (which are the same species as Grizzlies, simply a different subspecies).

Wiki claims the Yukon river basin specifically though it doesn’t narrow things down a lot, it would suggest that the grizzly in game should be based on the mainland and not the Kodiak

#

But there’s also no ocean on the map so costal behaviors and weights can be ruled out as well I suppose

south sentinel
#

Plus if it was a coastal map, Kodiak Bears are only known from the Kodiak Archipelago and the appropriate subspecies could still be the Grizzly Bear. Now if it was a coastal Alaskan reserve set in Southwestern Alaska the appropiate subspecies would be the Alaskan Brown Bear (Ursus arctos gyas)
