Ho-Ho-Howdy hunters!

It’s that time of the year again when people are nice to each other, exchange pretty presents and… hunt down Reindeer in Hemmeldal!

“Holidays are not about presents!” I hear you say? What a steaming pile of charcoal! This year’s holidays are ALL about Present$!

You can get Present$ points by taking part in our special holiday mission and competitions, as well as harvesting animals and finding collectible presents scattered around the EHR!

We have frozen Christmas time (time will always be 18:00) and decked the halls in Hemmeldal. There are some nice Christmas decorations placed around the reserve… as well as Rudolph, so keep an eye on those Reindeer noses, as harvesting them will also grant you a sizeable amount of Present$!

CAMPAIGN

This year Santa has dropped collectible presents all over the EHR and if you find them, you can pick them up to earn Present$ points.

They are a lot rarer than in previous years though (has someone been misbehaving, huh?) so if you find some consider yourself lucky!

On top of collectibles, harvesting animals in ANY reserve during the Happy Holidays 2020 event also gives you Present$.

Howdy hunters!
Today we are proud to deliver a cool new feature to you: animal trophy shot poses!
No need to spend precious hunting time trying to get that perfect pose for your trophy shot anymore!
Initially, animal trophy shot poses are available for 6 animals:

✅ Turkey
✅ Feral Hog
✅ Moose
✅ Red Deer
✅ Roosevelt Elk
✅ Whitetail Deer

Based on community feedback we will then evaluate whether to implement trophy shot poses for other animals.

You can see a preview of the poses available in the Store.

Bonus “quality-of-life” addition!

Animals posed in “ragdoll mode” in your trophy shot now do not reset when switching between Photo and Edit mode.
To reset the ragdoll you need to press the Backspace button. Hopefully, this will help to make the trophy shot process a little easier.

We hope you enjoy the new additions and are looking forward to seeing what cool trophy shots you will be able to create with the new poses!

Last but not least here’s a great video by Content Creator HooCairs showcasing the new animal poses and explaining how to use the new trophy shot controls. Take a look!
