The whole selling point is that this calls ALL animals. I paid REAL money for this caller I expected to be able to call any animal I wanted with it.
However on Australia I cannot call goats, the Buffalo, Crocodiles or kangaroos
Why is this caller incomplete when it’s sold as a “one and done” calling solution for real money?

They put out several notifications and did streams introducing it where it was explained clearly that the caller would only call all existing callable animals as well as alligators. It is quite possible that they intend to add more animals which would be great BUT I think making it able to call all animals would really change the balance and difficulty of the game for the worse, imo. I don't think making every animal callable is a good idea as some of the large animals like Buffalo and bison are extremely easy to hunt. But add the bunnies though. I really really want them to add the bunnies. LOL

It’s strange to me that alligators have a call but crocodiles don’t
Also a digital caller can have sounds that a analog type caller can’t really mimic well. It should have a call for every type of animal
If an animal can MAKE a noise an E-caller should easily be able to play a call for it.

It's because they've had a real problem with people taking on Mississippi and hunting the alligators, which are always hidden in grass. Alligators have had a couple of reworks. Adding them to the caller will hopefully make them more inviting to hunt. For the same reason, it would be nice to add more other difficult-to-hunt animals (but not all of them, obviously).

Balance doesn’t matter when it comes to DLC weapons and stuff. They are all cheats basically that’s why they cost money

Hmm. I don't quite see it in the same way but I'm sure the devs will take note and consider all perspectives.

Dog makes it so you don’t have to track anything ever, ATV makes you fast, Modern Rifles pack gave you semi auto rifles for every animal, crossbow packs have bolts for every animal on one weapon, and tents make an outpost anywhere
shell widget
Dog and ATV come with drawbacks (spooking) so I don't use either of those. Backpacks also have noise drawbacks when you want to carry more weapons. If you remove all the compromises then you remove all the challenge and to me that makes a very boring game.

Dog doesn’t spook animals. He warns you if you’re about to spook something though
shell widget
He steps in front of you and blocks your target and is generally annoying. Loses your track and runs in circles. My gameplay has been so much better without the dog but that is all besides the point that I was making. Anyway have to deal with real life stuff and got to go.

You can tell him to wait, animals don’t hear dog command, just hold down command button and wheel comes up with all dog commands. Tell him to stay and he will lay down and be quiet

Why? Gameplay is better without the hound.

I mean if you like chasing a moose’s turbocharged light speed zigzag for 3 hours then sure be my guest

Not if you heart shot your targets. I very rarely have to run after kills.
Try a couple of weeks without the dog. Your gameplay will improve. Trust me.

I had max level way before the Dog. He just makes stuff easier, he’s not a handicap or a crutch he’s just for me to be lazy with. I don’t have issues too often anymore with shot placement but once in a while you goof a shot and it takes off and it’s on very low and stops bleeding and the dog can find it still and let you get that second chance at it
shell widget
Same with me. I maxed out before buying the DLC. Used him for about 4 months. I don't need him.
strong sluice
Yeah it’s not a need thing I just like his company and having something do the annoying part for me if I do mess up a shot or get a lower bleed rate, I use a lot of polymer tips so my bleed rates are never high
shell widget
I only use polymer. But fair enough. If you feel that he improves your gameplay then cool. I have no argument with that.
strong sluice
More like simplifies it not so much putzing around with a huntermate and following dots he takes all the guesswork out of it and saves me time and sanity.
That being said we digress this is about the E caller.
DLC is never balanced because it’s paid to be just better off rip.
We see this with the modern rifles pack, the high tech pack, the dogs, .300 canning magnum, the M1 Garand. All of these weapons are far superior to their counterparts from the base game even the other new pack has bolt action .338 weapons
You don’t have to grind anything to unlock polymer tips or something rifle skill isn’t required
shell widget
LOL. I don't use the Huntermate either. We definitely have two different playing styles.
But yes, we digress. The ecaller is not broken and is how it is. I agree that they were a little clumsy with the advertising of it - wouldn't be the first time. I think it could do with some adjustments and additional animals but not all. Perhaps this discussion should be in Feedback. Good luck with the new toy. It's one I have definitely been using. Better than that dog! Haha.
Laters.

I am not trying to be rude, but did you read the description of the caller before you bought it? It clearly states that it only works for callable species, something that was restated over and over again. Yes, alligators were added because they are callable IRL. Thus, it is (in my opinion) a bit unreasonable to expect all animals to be callable since this was never going to be the case.

The dog spooks animals that are smaller than it, that's a well known and intended feature.

I don't think that's the intention for dlc, at least not with this game. If the e-caller did call in all animals, that would be largely game breaking. They do try to keep the dlc balanced, so they're not pay-to-win, more pay-to-simplify.
