Patch 1.20 - Geese, SXS Shotgun & more Posted: 12 Jun 2018 08:05 AM PDT Hello Hunters, The first flying animal of theHunter: Call of the Wild, the Canada Goose, has arrived! The newest addition to theHunter: Call of the Wild's animal family brings a new and exciting hunting experience to the game. Jump into Hirschfelden and scout the skies for skeins (flocks) of Geese in their typical V-formation. Once you spot a flock, get out of sight and then use the new Canada Goose Short Reed caller to make them break formation and lure them to the ground. As always in hunting, patience is a virtue, so take your time and let them come close. If you manage to stay undetected, the Geese will land around you. Landing and take off, should you spook them after they have landed, are the prime opportunities to take a shot. . We do not recommend shooting geese high up in the air as this will spook the flock and most likely won't hit the bird. Alternatively, a new Layout blind and Canada Goose decoys allow you to set up the perfect hunting spot. The corn and straw fields are highly recommended as geese avoid landing in forests. The decoys, available in 3 different variations, increase your chances of successfully luring Geese to come to the ground while the layout blind offers better camouflage, overwatching the field. This allows you to lure down geese close to you, pop out of the blind and take aim. However you choose to hunt geese, the new Strecker SXS 20G Shotgun, loaded with birdshot (also offers buck and slug) is a safe bet for ethical and high scoring hunting. The gun comes in four different variations. We hope you like it! The Canada Goose and Canada Goose Short Reed caller are available for free with this update. The Strecker SXS 20G, Layout blind and Decoys are included in the new "Wild Goose Chase Gear" DLC. Upon purchase you will receive 5 of each decoy variation and one layout blind in the in-game storage, while the new gun along with the new ammunition is then unlocked in the in-game shop (no further cost). https://store.steampowered.com/app/854070/theHunter_Call_of_the_Wild__Wild_Goose_Chase_Gear/ There is a bundle available for discounts so make sure not to miss this one as it is only available for a limited time! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/3745/theHunter_Call_of_the_Wild__Head_Start_Bundle_Limited_time_offer/ Your feedback is crucial to us. You have been asking for bird hunting for a long time and today marks the beginning. We hope you are happy with the result and rest assured that we will take in your feedback and continue the work, not only on geese but on much more! We addressed issues regarding placeable items and the beaver and hope that this improves the current situation, please let us know if you still encounter this issue!
