Tip of the week [NOMINATE]

This tip I learned from Knut.

While using the steam launcher, there is no back button. Just hit backspace, it works as a back button.

Both launchers......

The launchers are Google Chrome browsers with limited functionality. F5 does not work for some reason though.

Useful tip:
Think twice before posting something like "Black Bear - 7 slug shots" or "Helicopter hunting".. .

A tip for those who want to play multiplayer but are worried that someone who haven't learned how to behave yet - especially around other hunters (running, firing etc). Maybe you want other players to join you to have a chat but don't want to hunt together, at least not until you know your fellow hunter and her/his skills. Spawn at your tent far away from other spawn points then place it in your backpack. Other players are forced to spawn in a comfortable distance from yourself. Then you have plenty time to monitor their skillz. If they sprinting 1500m towards your location you will know...

Speed-Weapon-Change

Don't know, might already have been posted but just in case:

If you want to change from weapon 1 to weapon 2, you can speed up that process.

If weapon 1 is empty and you press the button to bring up weapon 2, weapon 1 will be put down, then it will bring up weapon 2.

For speeding up:
If weapon 1 is empty and you press the re-load button, the reloding process will start. As soon as reloading has started, you press button for weapon 2. That stopps the reloading process and now weapon 2 will be immediately in your hand and you gain the time you would have needed to bring weapon 1 down.

If you have outdated PC (low specs) be sure to turn off the browsers and logout from internet apps such as Facebook while playing, because your game will be very slow.

CHOSEN AS THE TIP OF THE WEEK

Shooting Tip:

*Use the rangefinder to "mark" the blood after you have taken any shot.*

Often after you approach a blood trail, the environment may not fully render until you are close to where you hit the animal - which can lead to confusion when searching for blood trails.

For working on weapon skills with a moose legal weapon I grab a moose, elk, deer grunt calls and run around the southwest corner of RFF using the moose call every 5-10 seconds. Since moose have a good chance of calling back if they hear you call (as long as they are not a bull..). Generally I can quickly locate and kill for skill ups. Also listen for the random Elk/Deer sounds and hunt them down as well. You can easily get 15-20 kills an hour this way.

When you can’t seem to locate the next track of a fleeing animal, don’t give up just yet. Return to the last known track and walk a few meters in the direction the animal was going then setup a tree stand. Enter the tree stand and look in all directions for the next track.

Sometimes entering a tree stand will give you a new perspective over the terrain and you can locate the next track.
