Howdy hunters!

Just a quick one this time. We’ve added some new fur variants to 5 animals to expand the variety and add realism. Some are common, and some are rare. The animals with new furs are:

• Alpine Ibex – a new color variation called ‘Dark’. It is much darker than the existing Common.
• Moose – a new color variation called ‘Light’. It has a lighter back and face color.
• Mule Deer – a new rarity called ‘Dilute’. It is similar to the existing Albino, but with a lavender shade.
• Water Buffalo – a new color variation called ‘Grey’. It is much lighter than the existing Common with a Grey shade.
• Feral Hog – first of all, we’ve expanded the existing Common color variation with two more options – Red and Black. We also added a new color variation called ‘Belted’ with 2 options (Red-White and Black-White). And finally, we added 3 more options to the existing Piebald (Blonde-Black, Red-Black, and White-Black). Please note that we also decided to increase the amount of Piebald to increase the realism (as it is not rare in real life), so it is not as rare as it used to be.

We also implemented two suggestions we got from you after the recent Mission UI overhaul:

• Automatically activate missions for Favorites only.
• Improved the filtering system (mostly the search by Reserve).

And the last but not least – one more improvement:

• Any banned players automatically disappear from all Leaderboards (Event, Competition, Season, Community League) as we want to remove any memories of the cheaters.

We really wanted to check something off our backlog for this release, so we’ve overhauled the Mission UI on the website and the launcher. There are still some tweaks to come, but here are the highlights so far:

• You can now Activate All missions with the click of button.
• Automatically activate new available missions while playing in-game.
• Filters. Lots of filters. Reserves, Weapons, Species, by section, and a handy search bar if you want to hunt say “deer” in general. Mix and match to narrow down exactly which missions you can take on right now or set yourself up to plan for a long day in a single reserve.
• Favourite Mission Packs by clicking the star icon at any stage, whether you’ve started or completed them. You can unfavourite by clicking the star again or leave them marked for your next reset.
• Missions and Packs now appear in alphabetical order within each section.

That’s all for now, let us know how you’re finding the new UI.

We’ve got a fair bit in the update this time, but don’t despair, it’s not that chunky:

The new content
– Fallow Deer Mission Pack.
– Fallow Deer competitions to be added into rotation of regular competitions.
– Fallow Deer antler sheds.
– Fallow Deer and Axis Deer Daily Missions added to rotation.
– Some Sneaky 3D outfits missing the backpacks and scarves have been completed.
– Community League reward jackets are visible in the store now.
– New functionality to purchase Trophy Poses directly in-game instead of tabbing to the Store (if you don’t own some).
– One more Tutorial.

That’s all for now. We’ll keep it coming.

Howdy Hunters,

Happy release day! We’ve got a small update for you today, there’s been something else taking up a lot of our attention. Let’s not point fingers at a certain obtuse deer.

✅ We’ve added two new tutorials added  – Bow/Xbow + Tree Stand and Snow Geese + Retriever – where you can test every Bow and Crossbow and get a feel for fowling respectively.
✅ Plus a few bug fixes:

• Sometimes there was a delay in communication with a server which caused 0.2 seconds of wound time for instant kills, which reduced the Harvest Value – it is fixed now.
• The Confirm Kill screen was showing incorrect information about the reward for birds shot on the ground – fixed now.
• A few minor fixes for existing missions and competitions.

Stay tuned, more coming very soon.

Happy hunting!

Howdy Hunters,

We got plenty of requests after the skulls update and decided to make a small patch with these fixes before the whole team leaves for a well deserved holiday:

✅ The Harvest window has been updated to get rid of the need for any spin menus. You can now tax, trophy shot, or sell from that single Harvest window, and see the amount of gm$ you’ll get from selling. Taxidermy is still confirmed on the next window in case of misclicks  Note that you can still do the Delayed Taxidermy as usual. Did you know that if you do a Delayed Taxidermy during the hunt, it still counts as Immediate?
✅ The Bleached skulls have been whitened a little more according to requests from the community.
✅ A few competition and mission description fixes to keep things running smoothly.

Well, that’s all for now. Happy Hunting!
