Update Skulls

Howdy Hunters!

Just a small content release to make sure you know we haven’t forgotten you. There are some new skulls in the game that can be mounted in the lodge. They’ve been sitting staring at us for the last year, so we’re getting them out. They’re already in the client, there’s no need to download anything.

The skull list is:

Axis Deer

Blacktail Deer

Fallow Deer

Mule Deer

Red Deer

Reindeer

Rocky Mountain Elk

Roe Deer

Rusa Deer

Sambar Deer

Sitka Deer

Whitetail Deer

Also fixed scope clipping issues on several new weapons. 2–10x scopes now align correctly with .308 rifles, and improvements were made for special and engraved variants.

The fix for game management in the launcher is currently in progress and is planned for one of the upcoming updates (fingers crossed). 

They should be bug-free, but let us know if you find anything wrong with them as usual.

Happy Hunting!

Gameplay Challenges

20240228_updates_805x380

Howdy Hunters!

By popular demand, we’ve introduced Gameplay Challenges to Classic. Most of these will be for the longer term players, but we hope they’ll give each of you a little something extra in your hunting or a new goal to pursue. You’ll find them under the Achievements tab in their own section called Challenges.

So here’s how they’ll work:

  • Each Challenge can only be earned once.
  • There is no special reward for earning them, just the little badge and the bragging rights.
  • We’ll be gradually adding to them over time to keep things interesting.
  • They will not affect your Hunter Score or any other metric in the game, except what you earn in skills by completing the challenges.
  • They won’t always be so serious (wink)

Missions and Bears

20240228_updates_805x380

Howdy Hunters!

Just a small release to tide you over.

New Stuff:

  • Another late-game mission pack for Advanced Firearms. Like the muzzleloaders, this is a bit of love for weapons that don’t currently have much return in the game but that many players do eventually buy.

Bug fixes:

  • We’ve reworked the Black Bear skins (again), they’re closer to what they were before. We’ve also redone Coat of Many Colors (again) to match the new variation ratios.

Well, that’s all for now. Let us know if you find any bugs along the way.

QoL and a few features

20231109_game_updates_805x380

Howdy Hunters!

We have a nice little QoL release for you with a few features to brighten up your day 

New Stuff:

* New Mission Pack – Smoke Pole (Muzzleloader) Missions, they needed some love.
* Players now can add up to 3 markers on the Huntermate to better track. There is a way to remove the existing marker by clicking it again or ‘remove all markers’ at once by clicking the corresponding button on the in-game map.
* As our recent implementation of the tooltips on the map got some negative feedback, we decided to improve it by adding a toggle on the in-game map which turns on or off all these tooltips. So everyone can decide what is more convenient for them.
* Added a drop-down to select the lodge type while searching for your Friend’s lodges.

Bug fixes:
* Jeep icon was not visible on the in-game map – fixed
* Animation for .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle got broken and moved the weapon to the T pose – fixed
* 2-10×42 scope was incorrect on 6.5×55 Bolt Action Rifle – fixed
* Rusa Deer and Feral Hog toes were visible on the wall plaque – fixed
* Tutorial crashed on mounting any large equipment – fixed

Well, that’s all for now. Let us know if you find any bugs along the way.

QoL Update

20230927_game_updates_805x380

Howdy Hunters!

We’ve got a nice little QoL release for you this week, something to tide you over until the lodge customization is ready:

* 2-10x42mm scope fixed for .300 and .308 rifles.
* Following the recent update for showing the point of interest names/descriptions on the in-game map – we’ve removed the descriptions, as these were over-informative and useless.
* Some new CC weapons did not give any HunterScores – fixed.
* Ibex, Bighorn, and Dall Sheep can now be mounted to the Medium platform in the lodges – this will apply to all medium platforms in all lodges.
* Fall Field scarf and backpack had a wrong pattern – fixed.
* Wood Grouse added to the Daily Missions.
* Some competitions with the new parameters announced in the previous release will be added to the rotation from this Saturday.

Well, that’s all for now. Grab the update HERE

Happy Hunting!

P.S. Final bit of news, and pay attention, the November event will be a set of competitions. We’re currently planning it for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend. There will be some tiered comps like you see in events for everyone to enter and an Invitational like we had last year, between the League’s top players this year and competitors from BCKidd’s Forum Competitions. League players, keep an eye out for that Invitational email over the next couple of weeks.Share this

New Comp Parameters

20230913_game_updates_805x380

Howdy Hunters!

We’ve been focusing on the backend this week, prepping some new stuff and putting some bugs down.

For the new, we have some new competition parameters coming to expand what we can do there for regular and event competitions. We’ll have a few of these popping up in the next couple of days for a test run before they’re added into the rotation with more to come later.

* A new score type of CSS
* Number of shots to be used (You will have a limited total number of bullets for the competition)
* No miss (You cannot miss a shot. Hits don’t all need to be kills, but they must hit)
* Time limit (This counts for each hunt, not as a total over attempts)
* The highest subtract the lowest score/weight of the trophy
* Score minus Distance, distance cannot exceed score (lowest difference wins)
* Score minus Wound time in seconds
* Score of the male plus weight of the female
* Score plus distance shot; distance not to exceed animals score (Highest total wins)

For the fixes, and a couple of these will definitely be very interesting to some of you:

– All points of interest now can be checked directly on the in-game map by hovering it with a mouse.
– Order of the weapons and ammo are now sorted alphabetically in inventory
– Scope fixed for .223 rifles and Scout
– Flinter’s Parker Python had a flipped logo – fixed

As usual, give us a heads-up about any bugs or feedback you have.

Content Creator Items

Howdy Hunters!

Just a quick note to say that the Content Creator items are now buyable in the Store. There isn’t an update for this in Steam, but you may need to clear your launcher cache to be able to see them there (In the top right corner of the launcher go to Settings => Clear launcher cache).

As usual, let us know if you spot any bugs or the like.

Game Update: Texas Lodge

20230830_game_updates_805x380

Howdy Hunters!

We’ve got something special for you with today’s release; a brand-new lodge! The Texas Lodge is in its first phase but we have a whole lot of stuff planned for it, like customization, extra rooms and even more customization. Some of the upcoming customizations will be available in the old lodges as well.

So, what are you getting with this release?

  • 163 places for mounts (including birds and skulls)
  • 24 dedicated skull mounts
  • Enough gun racks to mount an arsenal

So swing by and take a look. The old lodges will not be removed, and as we said a few sentences ago, some of the customization features will apply to them as well once implemented.

Grab the update HERE

As usual, please send us your feedback and any bugs you encounter.
