Hello Hunters,
Welcome to this week’s Status Update brought to you from the EW Studio in Stockholm. For us in Sweden it’s a short work week as we will be off for an extended Easter weekend soon and back in the office next Tuesday. In Sweden it’s a tradition to go on an Easter egg hunt (chocolate and real ones) during the Easter time and so it’s no surprise that this year’s competitions, Mission and rewards are inspired by it.
‘Eggciting’ Easter Competitions and Mission 2017
Our team around game designer Patrick has worked on a bunch of fun Easter competitions for us to play through during the Easter time. The competitions will run for a total of 7 days, starting today and ending on the 19th of April, with a new competition being released on a daily basis.
Johan, one of our artists, apparently had a secret meeting with the Easter bunny. He scored some nice rewards and beautiful Easter trophies for the winners of all individual daily competitions.
- 1st Place: Trophy + 150 em$
- 2nd Place: Trophy + 100 em$
- 3rd Place: Trophy + 50 em$
- 4th-10th Place: Trophy + 25 em$
During the Easter Event you can also go on an egg hunt yourself, in your favorite Reserves. Activate the ‘Easter Mission 2017: Gotta collect ’em all!’ in the Mission section and use your HunterMate to collect a total of:
- 20 Bronze Easter Eggs
- 10 Silver Easter Eggs
- 5 Gold Easter Eggs
Here is the unique trophy you will get after completing the mission:
Along with all this you will find a great selection of limited time offers and bundles tailored to the daily competitions in our shop, so make sure to check it out.
For more information follow us on Twitter where we will announce the new competitions and sales on a daily basis.
Best of luck to all hunters!
About feeders
As mentioned in yesterday’s game update we have performed some changes on the feeder system, after having worked a lot with the feedback from our community. If you shoot an animal in baiting state within feeder range the range will be reduced to minimum and then slowly expand again over time until it hits its full range again after 30 minutes, while still attracting animals. After receiving questions about the concrete ranges for the penalty we will look into this further and see if we can share this information.
Adding to this the amount of feeders that can be placed in a hunting reserve has been raised from 3 to 4. We hope you’ll enjoy these changes and find them helpful!
Is it a bush or a dog?
Fresh in from the Doggy fashion week are the latest backpack variations for our furry friends in Summer Swamp, Fall Forest & Arctic Winter camouflage. Get the right camo for every environment!
All bundled up

Customer Support during Easter Holidays
Due to the Easter Holidays, theHunter Support Team will be unavailable from cease work on Thursday 13 April 2017 until the start of work on Tuesday 18 April 2017. We will reply to any support requests on our return to work.
Operation ‘Mystery Doodle’
You may have read that Alena hinted something about a new species being worked on in last weeks Status update. I got curious, went to have a look and found this doodle flying around in the design area. Although I tried to bribe them with sweets and coffee the Devs refuse to share the answer with me (apparently they’re afraid I can’t keep a secret…), so I’ll need your help to find out what species exactly we’re dealing with! I think the shape of the horns is the key here!
Let us know what you think about this week’s Status update and of course your theories for the mystery doodle in the Discussion thread in our Forum. We wish you, your families and friends a happy Easter, a good weekend and see you all again on Tuesday. 😀
Happy Hunting!
