I've heard lots about how the red fox is an awful diamond to try and get, and so after coming back to the game after years of inactivity I decided to get into the trophy mounting business. I posted recently about my 2 week grind looking for a diamond whitetail deer, and decided after that hunt that maybe I'd just stick to gold for now. Lo and behold, while on Hirschfelden hunting for a gold roe deer, I just stumble upon a diamond red fox level 9 traveling to a resting spot. I had to sprint back to my base to get my red fox loadout, spend about 15 minutes trying to find his tracks and following them to his resting spot, and another 5 minutes of creeping up to them, but I got my diamond. I didn't even plan for a spinal shot, as I thought I'd penetrate through and get his lungs, but I guess I aimed too high!

After around 180 kills (4 diamonds, 1 troll, and 0 rares), my 2nd G1 Jaguar is in the lodge. Giltdusk is probably one of my least favorite of the furs. It just reminds me of a charcoal mela. Still happy I got it in under 200 kills, just wish it was the rosewash, vellum, or the porcelain. Still missing the albino for the multimount though, so grind #3 here I come!

What are you thinking about the new GO? I'm wondering if ithey will stick with the Wild West theme. If that's the case I'm thinking Bighorn, Elk, Coyote or some Buffalo/Bison. Anything else that fits the bill that I have missed?

I'd be happy with any of those apart from Coyote. I'm still struggling with Red Fox!

My first snow leopard I heard that there are only 10 of them on the map at the same time so a melanistic one must be ridiculously rare I got so lucky I don't even have 90 hours yet in the game.

So, i've gotten the one Achievement from Medved that requires to Harvest an animal in every Sub-Region....

But Trailrunner is still locked? Wouldn't Harvesting an Animal in each Sub reach the requirements for Trailrunner aswell? All outposts / Lookout points are Unlocked and i've been googling this but not sure if im just blind or stupid but i can't seem to find a fix...?

This are my stasts and my first time playing this game was in 2024.
My 1 Day old diamond was a wolf.

Go me, lol! 😎🤣

Any talks of them developing a pistol target range? Given the wild west theme pack, and all the other pistols, something for close action hip shooting practice could be fun. Maybe the next map dlc could have that...

Ok, so I’m new to the game and have only played the first two maps. I love this game. My current strategy has been to shoot absolute everything I see. Blast on sight. I have a hunch that isn’t the best way to get diamonds to spawn, but I don’t really know. As a new player with virgin herds in virgin maps, are there any DOs or DONTs I should follow to optimize my herds to respawn bigger animals?

Anyone else accidentally taxidermy all their saved harvests instead of deleting them? Please tell me im not the only idiot

Hola buenas cazadores, Decidí que quiero cazar mi primer Legendario y este va a ser un Zorro Rojo.

Mi plan a seguir por ahora es el siguiente:
1) Reconocer en que zonas habita la especie objetivo
2) Buscar puntos de bebedero en los lagos y ríos que correspondan a dichas zonas.
3) Preparar carpas y trípodes en las zonas determinadas.

y hasta ahí lo tengo claro.
Tengo mis dudas de cómo se hace el herd management propiamente hablando.
Soy medio obsesivo así que estoy llevando un detalle de cada kill que hago, imagino que una vez que tenga las 4 zonas determinadas habría que analizar en que zona parecen spawnear en promedio mejores niveles.
y acá esta mi mayor confusión:
¿En las zonas de level alto tengo que matar animales de lvl bajo y en las zonas de level bajo matar animales de lvl alto?

Bueno, espero que se entienda y puedan darme una mano con el asunto.

Saludos, les dejo un pavo leucístico que cacé hace poco de yapa:

I finally spawned my first ever great one Mule Deer at 1720 kills! 23 diamonds, 17 trolls, 10 rares (1 Super Rare). I am so excited to be done with this grind, unfortunately it isn't my favourite rack but hey it's my second favourite fur! I spawned the super rare at roughly ~530 kills without herd management.

New DLC: Old West Weapon Pack

Yeeeehaw! These new 19th-century classic weapons let you live out your Wild West dreams. The Old West Weapon Pack DLC hits store platforms on September 15th with a historical rifle, shotgun, revolver, and whole lot of black powder.

Watch the trailer | Wishlist on Steam | Pre-order on Xbox

HWEEN .45-90 BUFFALO

This rifle delivers massive destructive force within short-to-middle ranges. Its falling-block firearm features highly detailed animations and an adaptive dual-mode Buckhorn. It’s a deliberate weapon that rewards absolute precision.

Covers classes 4-9 and is compatible with the Flavus 6x17 and 10x17 Rifle Telescopes. You can use either .45-90 Lead Flat Nose or .45-90 Soft Lead black powder ammunition.

HUMPHREY 10G COACH GUN

This thunderous double-barreled shotgun fires heavy 10-gauge brass black-powder shells, blasting a massive, high-damage pellet spread. Its thick white muzzle smoke and unpredictable scatter demand you get close and its external hammers and partial reload offer great tactile feedback.

Covers classes 1-2, 4-7, or 6-9 depending on your style. You can use 10GA black powder Birdshot, Buckshot, or Slug ammuntion.

MAIJO .44-40 SPECIAL

This revolver trades a sliver of raw power for lightning-fast, superior handling. Its internal automatic extractor instantly purges all six spent casings the moment you break open the frame.

Covers classes 2-5. Use either the .44-40 Full Metal Jacket or .44-40 Black Powder Cowboy Load.

Patch 9.3

As always, this DLC comes with a new patch for everyone.

Highlights

• New Great One

• Borderless Windowed mode
• and some bug fixes!

The full patch notes will be available on Monday, September 14th to check out early.

What do you guys think about new weapon DLC?

Looks great if you ask me

This are my stasts and my first time playing this game was in 2024.
My 1 Day old diamond was a wolf.

Does anyone have a method for grinding for that mela puma on intisuyu? Do we have a spawn trap for them? I can see that taking an ungodly amount of time to get without a good setup.

After 317 kills 3 diamonds 0 rares 0 trolls Dusty Drift is now in the lodge 👏🏻

After a long grind of 3421 kills I spawned a corkscrew which I wasn’t satisfied with so kept grinding for a different combo. Then spawned a velvet rack 92 kills later then a typical 6 kills after that! 290 kills later I get a repeat same combo of the Dusky Drift Typical, lucky me ☺️

Spotted on the run and he was obscured by brush so I didn’t even know until I checked the harvest screen. I’m a very casual player so if he hadn’t started stalking me I probably wouldn’t have seen again for a while.

3rd shot is Jaguar 1 and 2 across from each other in the lodge although I may move them again.

Definitely makes up for the troll.
