Me personally 1. A new map in either Africa, the Arctic or Amazon 2. A new lodge 3. A Primitive Weapon Pack (I've been watching a lot of Tim Wells lately) 4. Possibly new species to old maps (camels in Australia for example) 5. Trophy shots
@@zachjohnson9391 Camels would be just another invasive pest on a map full of em as it is. I mean, they created an Australian map with 2 (ok 4 if I count birds) Australian animals!
1: I'd love to see sage grouse in silver peaks. 2: I'd like to see a slider for render range. Maybe up to 800 meters. 3: great one Rocky mountain elk and great one mule deer. 4: this one may be hard but maybe trail cameras? 5: irregular antlers. Drop times and stuff like that. 6:rework the grizzly bear. 7: maybe some kind of spotting scope that can see further if they can't do the render range slider. What do you think?
grizzly rework is a must, how are Caribou just chilling with them at drink time😂. Also, make foxes and bobcats spook class 1 animals. Honestly, if they just focused on animal interactions one update I wouldn't be mad
Merry Christmas Flinter and Kyla My list 1. New Lodge 2. Dall sheep on a new Canadian map 3. Beagle Dog 4. New Africa map 5. Bighorn Rework Honorable mention North American small game park with Prairie Dogs,Badgers,Wood ducks,Beavers and Armadillos
Something I'm dying for that nobody seems to mention, is a render distance upgrade. Maps like Sundarpatan just feel so non-immersive, as the biggest part of mountain hunting is spotting animals from really far away and stalking up to them over huge distances. 400 meters (give or take) is just not enough for maps like that to thrive.
I want pig feeders and deer feeds too; and more mechanical details regarding animal behavior, like shooting a heart will make the deer kick with it's back legs, things like that
1. rework bears, lion, etc. to look better 2. atypicals or nontypicals for common rack animals 3. a winter themed lodge with a fireplace inside & snowing outside 4. another free map like Yukon for the vanilla people 5. rework low vis / high dense brush maps like New England to have much better clearance near drinking zones (literally the biggest factor when people consider "fun" maps, "money grind" maps, etc.)
The only thing I would add to this is new species on old maps and separate subspecies. Things like Dall Sheep on Yukon, and the separation between Rocky Mt Bighorn and Desert Bighorn the way that Caribou and Reindeer are.
@@lydenraxter6299 they did tease a snowy arctic looking map For 2025 so I do think there is a chance they would be added, it also be a chance for them to remodel a lot of older species that look really bad like Roosevelt elk, grizzlies, coyotes, mountain goats, caribou.
Tajikistan species list -Marco Polo Argali -Pamir Ibex -Gray Wolf -Feral Yak (with different color variations than the Wild Yak) -Bar Headed Goose -Bukharan Markhor -Bukharan Ibex -Bukharan Urial -Afghan Urial -Wild boar -one of the eurasian ducks we already have -Common Pochard -Chuckar Partridge -Red Fox And perhaps the Snow Leopard and maybe brown bear
@liamsstudio_44 so they could do to the wolves like they did with the Iberian wolves, and also for feral yaks like they did for feral pigs/wild hogs cuz they're also pretty different from the wild boar
i personally think a decent way to include the cape buffalo great one is buy brining in a new africa map featuring new weapons such as the .416 rigby would be pretty cool
A new map in the Highlands of Scotland. With red deer, roe deer, fox, red grouse, woodcock, pigeons, partridge, fallow, sika. Also a driven bird hunt option kind of thing.
I would love to see a great one mule deer or even Rocky Mountain elk. It would also be really cool to get rare antler types like drop tines and nontypical racks.
One thing i’d love for any snow map hopefully for the new snow map, is wolverines! Specifically with the same population mechanics as the snow leopard, Revontuli, medved, yukon, heck even layton could have had them, but they just wouldnt have been done right without the population changes they made with snow leopards. But now they can!
I would love to see beavers added to the game. Plus with the addition of beavers, you could add dams to break up the rivers and have a easier way to cross back-and-forth to collect your kills and not get stuck on one side of the river.
I really want a new customizable trophy lodge, skull mounts, ways to filter the trophy manager, custom multi mounts, and just backfilling more animals onto the current maps, rather then adding so many more maps
I just want a savage 99 added to the game, its one of the most common hinting rifle ever made (millions produced over 100 years in dozens of calibers)it would add a lever action that fires spitzer bullets, and for some reason its never appeared in a video game as far as i know. I actually think its crazy that its not already in the game (praying we get a community lever action pack)
Give me an african reserve, a 460 weatherby, more ammo choices, and redo some of the old truracs. The fact that vurhonga released in 2018 and we still don't have a second african map is insane to me. We're missing so many amazing african species.
Agreed. Africa is maybe the Best hunting grounds of the world and is completely ignored in the game. I cant understand why they ignore it. The ammount of hunting species are even larger than asia and north america together. At the moment we have 2 reserves in Oceanía and only one in África. Difficult to understand
The ammo changes; change the range of animal range where the Soft point are higher then hallow point on animal class. Everybody pick the highest penetration over expansion because all of the bullets are in the same class. Change the animal ranking so the ammo have values and the guns have values. Do you remember when you started a new game or was a beginner at the game and the value of certain weapons. Like you wanted a specific weapon because you knew the penetration was good kill and everything, I feel like ammo and the guns don't have any value anymore.
My wishlist is a Great One Mule Deer, with 10 or more antler racks. Some backfills to other maps, for example Mouflon to Hirschfeldon, Fallow to Cuatro, and Pheasant, Red fox and Coyote to SRP. As well as some remodels, like Bighorn, and Mt Goat. And more Great One Red deer fur and antler types. And I agree with Flinter for the Asia/Pamir map. Marco Polo would be sweet!
A little surprised you didn't mention trophy lodges but still I'd agree with most things on this list....hope the you and kyla enjoy your first Christmas as a married couple so happy for you both
Custom ammo is already halfway there. I'd imagine it'd be a similar function to different weight arrows, switching between bird/buck shot, or even the hudziks roundball or maxi option! Would be awesome!
Choke tubes on shotguns would be nice. Or just a refresh or new shotgun ammo types. We have a lot of small game focused stuff now, including a great one, but the shotgun dynamics are still not that great. Being able to have a tighter pattern with more knockdown or a wider pattern that's less effective would be cool, or different sizes of bird shot to have a similar effect.
Personally I’d prefer a map set in the NW Territories or Nunavut over Greenland. Having the map be partially on the mainland and partially on the Canadian Archipelago would be nice. You could add Dalls Sheep as well as all the Arctic animals you listed such as Musk Ox, Polar Bear, Peary Caribou, Arctic Wolves, Arctic Hare, and a whole host of Waterfowl species. Wood Bison would be a great addition as well.
Id love to see peacocks. Could you imagine a melanistic or albino peacock and it would come with a new map because they are from Sri Lanka and India, where they are the national bird. They live in open forests near streams, and are also found in cultivated areas and around Buddhist and Hindu temples.
I think the AMMO idea is brilliant. They could rebalance the already existing Soft-Point Bullets to give people a reason to carry SP bullets. Make some of the soft points cover higher class animals, like the .22H SP taking on class 3 animals.
I’ve always wanted a UK map similar to hirsch with fox, fallow, red, roe, mallard, euro hare and rabbit, pheasant, wild boar and some new species like grey squirrels, reevs muntjac, Chinese water deer, crows, woodpigeon, feral pigeons, woodcock, mink, partridge, and red grouse as options with rabbit dogs or ferrets. With the northern biome being Scottish highland, middle being forest and the lower being farmland. If not that then fur trapping. Give us steel traps, dog proofs, cage traps and snares but make sure there’s actual strategy to it and then give us a nice little dispatch gun
Yes to both of these! I know a UK map wouldn't be that exciting but as a Brit I would love it. Trapping would also be a lot of fun and add a whole new element to the game.
I'm a cartridge nut. I have studied cartridges and cartridge development rather exhaustively. The 22 Hornet is WAY more cartridge than the game makes it out to be and it's far more powerful than a 17 HMR. To put it in perspective, the best 17 HMR loads are pushing 20gr bullets to around 2,400fps, while the 22 Hornet can 55gr bullets to 2,650. From the standpoint of energy, the 22 Hornet delivers roughly three times as many foot-pounds of energy as any 17 HMR load. The 22H and 243 Winchester are both ridiculously nerfed in COTW.
I agree. If .17 HMR were to be added it should be a class one and two ammo with .22 H getting promoted to cover classes one through three. Alternatively .17 HMR could be a class-one-only ammo, just with flatter ballistics, higher penetration and/or expansion values, and a little more noise than .22 LR.
I think it would neat if you could take those mirror trophy shots and place them in picture frames in the lodge for display along with all the taxidermies
the only thing on my Wishlist is new iron sight weapons like different flintlocks, sharps rifles and carbines and old west guns me and im sure others get bored just sniping everything with a scoped rifle from 300m. And backfill silver ridge with new birds and bighorn ram reskin and new horns
My wish is for the .375 H&H to have a second ammo type to cover Class 3-6. It does have a 200 grain loading for plains game which is like half the standard 400 grain bullets used for big game. And a double rifle in .375 H&H for those fast follow ups at sub-150 yard ranges.
I really wish they'd added .375 as a double rifle rather than a bolt-action. It would have been more interesting and balanced it better against existing large-game rifles.
I’m really new to the game but one thing I’ve noticed that’s a bit of a let down, is draw distance. It’d be great to scan ahead more and be able to work out your approach to animals. It’d add much more to the stalking side of the game. Maybe less info on distant targets, so just species until you get to 400m. I’d be happy with just that really as it’d add a lot to the game.
I second the additional info for the trophy's in the lodge. Weapon used, distance and map it was harvested on. One weapon I would luke is the .22 Mag. It could be for classes 1 & 2.
I would love to see a sage brush western map. Big deserts full of elk mule deer whitetails sage grouse turkeys mountain lions moose bears rabbits wolfs pronghorn ducks geese big horn mountain goats pheasants. This could make long range spotting and shooting a factor
1. A map that is ALL mountain, maybe set in NZ where we can see tahr and wapati feeding on the edge of massive cliff faces. 2. Feeders, they would function like feed zones but you have to restock the food manually making it near impossible to abuse them as it would be to expensive to buy the food. 3. Trail cameras 4. Weather effecting how animals behave, E:G after a thunder storm in vurhogna there will be more animals drinking. 5. Animal interactions, we have seen this with lions chasing gemsbok/wilderbeest but it’s a bit jank so it could do with a rework, plus it would be cool if lions could have a chance of getting one of the lower level animals. 6. Trophy cam, the cabelas big game one is perfect
I would really love to see a search option for your trophies. Give us a place to type in red fox and all of your red fox trophies show up. That would be neat.
I want to see a few things, but nothing more than a new lodge. I think adding more customization in the lodge would make things so much better. I’m thinking props, more customizable multi-mounts, and being able to place things where you want (not just on the plaques and floor platforms the game has in place already, but be able to put the plaques and platforms where you want). Imagine walking into your lodge and it looks unlike anyone else’s. Or that it looks like the taxidermy you’d see in a Bass Pro or Cabelas, with the big mountains and whatnot in the middle of the store
Kodiak island for a small map. Every waterfowl species you can think of plus fox, blacktail, and grizzlies. Prefect gateway for blacktail or grizzly great one.
Flantro I don’t know if you saw my comment on the livestream but I think the antler and fur polls by EW are all animals that will be on the snow map ew teased for this next year. I think the map will be Canada and will hold those animals on the polls and several other animals like new types of lynx, caribou, muskox, stone sheep and many more. I think this would be such a cool idea especially if set in the winter definitely on my wishlist! Have a Merry Christmas!
1. Better store/storage UI. Show what ammo a weapon uses and the class it's suited to so you don't have to go back and forth trying to figure out if a certain setup can be used for a particular animal you might be targeting. 2. Option to select the amount of ammo you can buy instead of just clicking the buy button over and over when you really want to stock up on certain ammo. 3. Trophy manager overhaul. Only 10 slots to record your best harvests? For every species in the whole game?! You are forced to overwrite other harvests you don't want to delete. We need a different trophy manager for each reserve with enough slots to record your best harvests of EACH species on that specific map. 4. Render distance. It needs to be bumped up to at least 500 meters. 5. Trophy Info. Yeah this is a good suggestion. Score obviously. Fur type. Reserve and date of harvest, the weapon used, shot range and if possible include the vitals info. Thanks EW for all the incredible features the game already has but just remember, there is always room for improvement.
In my opinion I think they should add the great one mule deer I’ve always wanted one for a while now and all of there racks are gonna be massive. everyone have a good Christmas
1: mainly backfill on existing maps. My main one is dusky grouse on silver ridge peaks cause its pretty close to home but sitka blacktails or dahl sheep on yukon are a close second. Overall just a huge backfill update across all maps. 2: filters on trophy manager cause dear lord 3: great one mule deer 4: non-typicals. Mainly whitetail and mulies but they could do some really cool ones for elk 5: arctic map. Basically whiterun from classic would be ideal plus some more species 6: maybe a NA plains map like the dakotas or wyoming. Big bird hunting potential both upland and waterfowl with mulies, pronghorn, bison, and whitetail 7: central america map could be cool. Oscellated turkeys, brocket deer, whitetail, all the other cool birds, capybara, caiman, jaguar, etc 8: a much more ridiculously large lodge possibly with room for stuff from an africa 2.0 like elephant and giraffe All of this along with flinters video stuff could be absolutely massive
Merry Christmas! My wishlist would be 1. Render Sliders for the game, I don’t know about anyone else by my rig could render the globe, I wanna glass from mountaintops like we do in real life. 2. Spotting scope for same reason as above 3. Bipods or shooting sticks, like you deploy them and you can’t move and/or traverse more than 90 degrees, but your weapon is stable OR allow us to bring a backpack and use the backpack as a gun rest like in real life 4. Pakistan map or Pamir mountains as you suggested for the same reasons you listed 5. More ammo choices, maybe not a whole slider system as you suggested but a middle ground between soft point and polymer would be nice 6. Larger caliber weapons to go with larger animals 7. Better ballistics for all weapons 8. Weapon accessories like rangefinders or suppressors. A lot of hunters out in the Midwest are using suppressors to help mitigate felt recoil and reduce muzzle signature, which saves the shooters hearing and allows the impact to be observed, so that you know if the shot was well placed. The suppressors shouldn’t even be allowed to prevent spooking animals, or maybe reduce the range that animals are spooked by the round but also makes the weapon heavier and more unwieldy.
We could have something similar to "Marks of Excellence" from World to Tanks on the barrel of our gun, for how many diamonds or Great Ones we have killed with it
I would like a south Texas king ranch type map with waterfowl species we don’t have already and an exotic like Nilgai which are on those south Texas ranches like Armstrong and king ranch.
My top 10: 1) New Africa Map. And now that theyre more comfortable doing endangered/controversial species, They can add Elephants, Hippos, Leopards, Cheetahs, etc. 2) Japan Map. They did it for the Angler so why not? Japanese Black and Brown Bear, Sika Deer, Tanuki, Raccoons, Boar, Japanese Macaque, Green Pheasant,etc. Would be great to hunt on map thats notoriously hard to hunt irl 3) My gun ideas: 760 Gamemaster, Savage 99, and a1911 Handgun are stuff I'd like to see 4) Trophy Shots like Classic 5) MORE TROPHY LODGES!!! Like dear lord we are long overdue for it. 6) Melee Weapons for quick protection like a knife. 7) Horses for quieter transportation 8) Skull Mounts for Lodges like Classic 9) Make Bears and Big Cats more dangerous like how Tigers will stalk you 10) Canoes for traveling across rivers and patrolling shorelines Honorable Mention: Make Turkeys more realistic. Make them strut and gobble more often
I really miss the mosin. I wish they could find a way to make that weapon liable again. I mean for quite some time it was THE gun. Maybe with the bullet customization it would help it out
I think a great idea could be suppressers as many hunters here in the USA use them. They could be used similar to like blinds where they just give off less hunting pressure when you kill an animal
My wishlist is 1. more ways to display trophies, euro mounts, tanned pelts, etc. 2. Trail cams 3. Something someone else mentioned. A primitive weapon pack. 4. New africa map There's probably more but its a start lol.
They created a great one caribou years ago when they had the beta for great ones. I got one in Yukon and it's in my beta trophy room. I've been waiting for that to actually come out ever since.
Being able to customize your own map like you choose your favorite reserve and you pick your favorite animal to be on that reserve For example: I choose Layton Lakes and I want gadwall, green winged teal, Canada geese and other animals that aren’t on that map
Ability of animals to climb trees which would really change the dynamic for squirrels, raccoons and black bear. Which could even open up hound hunting.
I love my .25-06 it's a Lazer beam. I think if they did a small map again for second map I think a Texas game ranch would be a cool idea. Scimitar horned oryx, nilgai, audad, zebra, whitetail, red deer, fallow, muntjac. Loads of other options.
The Sundarbans: Royal Bengal tigers, indian muntjac, wild boars, mugger and saltwater crocs, rock pythons, axis deer, Hornbills, storks, ibis, eagles etc.
I think that the great one mule deer will come this year. We are already getting new rack variations sometime in 2025 so why not finally give us the great one we’ve been asking for along with it. It really just seems like the perfect timing to me.
So that's why you were asking about the 25-06 yesterday 😂 the bullet weight range thing would be sweet, hornady makes all the way down to a 75gr vmax varmint bullet listed at 3600fps out of the 25-06 so that would be definitely a classic 2 thumper, and then yeah up to 120gr at 3000fps ive even heard of folks taking elk and moose with the 25-06. Wouldn't be my first choice for game that size but it's good to know it works in a pinch
I honestly think they should add a great one croc and alligator. I think this would bring a lot of people to the Mississippi map and the emerald coast map.
Nice list! It got me quite hyped up for cotw in 2025 and made me realize this game still has a lot more potential. I would also like a roe deer model rework. Recently I made a (czech language) video where I photographed them irl and then hunted them in cotw and I realized how bad they look in the game.
300 BO really is a Sub/Super cartridge. You run subsonic for using a can and supersonic without. That's the original idea but most people just use subsonic ammo even without a can.
All I want is a bushveld Southern African map that has Impala and Grrater Kudu followed by all the other antelopes, and a rework of weapon classes and ammo in game
I’m still calling that the next great one is the wild boar. I know the pattern was broken with the Tahr but every other great one is available in base game. They have a lot of opportunities to make the tusks huge and broken or maybe they have like mutated extra tusks growing thru the mouth. I would also love a new lodge that’s large like the African one but has a classic vibe like the Layton lakes trophy lodge. Also, I agree the Cape buffalo needs reworked so bad. Every animal in Vurhonga needs a rework tbh.
Personally, the Great One I would enjoy most would be one for either Elk species. Cause, honestly, neither of the species look very good, but the Roosevelt Elk look by FAR the worst. They could go really crazy with the drop tines and clubs, which would be absolutely stunning to see in the wild.
My perfect 2025, Summer Drop: another Africa map, not an Africa 2.0 that would replace Vurhonga, but a unique Africa map, half jungle, half thin forest, and with this for the Summer drop we need either a great one lion or wildebeest. Winter Drop: a small Midwest map made for waterfowl hunting and big game hunting that would have a great one plains bison and a great one mallard, included in this drop would be a Nepal lodge that would be much more customizable.
![THIS MAP HAS IT ALL!!! | Sundarpatan FIRST HUNT! [Early Access]](/img/n.gif)
I really just want them to backfill animals to existing maps.
Me personally
1. A new map in either Africa, the Arctic or Amazon
2. A new lodge
3. A Primitive Weapon Pack (I've been watching a lot of Tim Wells lately)
4. Possibly new species to old maps (camels in Australia for example)
5. Trophy shots
Not camels in Australia more like dingos or wombat or emu also primitive weapons would be goated like slingshot or spear and they should add melee
@@Rizadon285 bruuu that would be dooppee
@@Rizadon285what's wrong with camels? Feral camel hunting is literally a thing in Australia
@ I think that if they add a new Africa map they should have camels in it

Yes, we definitely need non typicals... they are definitely my favorite to go after in real life (I've got a few) it would make the game alot more fun
this is nearly my exact wish list, and another thing I really want to see is a Bison Great One.
I completely agree with the rocky and mule deer great one and there gonna look sick and also all of the racks gonna be massive

2. Dall sheep on a new Canadian map
3. Beagle Dog

4. Trophy shots
5. Cross-platform play
The only thing I would add to this is new species on old maps and separate subspecies. Things like Dall Sheep on Yukon, and the separation between Rocky Mt Bighorn and Desert Bighorn the way that Caribou and Reindeer are.
Dall sheep would not work on Yukon, Yukon doesn’t really have any mountains. and no mountains = no dall sheep
@ Fair, but I don’t see them making another map for them and I’d rather them be on Yukon than not in the game at all.
@@lydenraxter6299 they did tease a snowy arctic looking map

Feral Yaks would need a whole new model and the wolves of Tajikistan are completely different from our current species
@liamsstudio_44 so they could do to the wolves like they did with the Iberian wolves, and also for feral yaks like they did for feral pigs/wild hogs cuz they're also pretty different from the wild boar
i personally think a decent way to include the cape buffalo great one is buy brining in a new africa map featuring new weapons such as the .416 rigby would be pretty cool
Merry Christmas everyone.
The ability to “draw” on the map. Basic symbols in a variety of colors
AMEN!!
A new map in the Highlands of Scotland. With red deer, roe deer, fox, red grouse, woodcock, pigeons, partridge, fallow, sika.
Also a driven bird hunt option kind of thing.
I would love to see a great one mule deer or even Rocky Mountain elk. It would also be really cool to get rare antler types like drop tines and nontypical racks.

If they do go along with the Greenland map I think things like walrus or a type of seal could be a really cool idea
I’d still like to see the ability to set multiple way points.
Can't agree more. Forgot off my list.
I would love to see beavers added to the game. Plus with the addition of beavers, you could add dams to break up the rivers and have a easier way to cross back-and-forth to collect your kills and not get stuck on one side of the river.
Yea I HIGHLY doubt they add the dams. That makes no sense since they don't add rutt scrapes.
Just adding beavers would be nice so you can get revenge on them for all the times that they took down your tents and blinds ect

6:25 yes that would be nice and also be able to reload empty casings would be so nice to have in game
Give me an african reserve, a 460 weatherby, more ammo choices, and redo some of the old truracs.
The fact that vurhonga released in 2018 and we still don't have a second african map is insane to me. We're missing so many amazing african species.

You could add Dalls Sheep as well as all the Arctic animals you listed such as Musk Ox, Polar Bear, Peary Caribou, Arctic Wolves, Arctic Hare, and a whole host of Waterfowl species. Wood Bison would be a great addition as well.
Id love to see peacocks. Could you imagine a melanistic or albino peacock and it would come with a new map because they are from Sri Lanka and India, where they are the national bird. They live in open forests near streams, and are also found in cultivated areas and around Buddhist and Hindu temples.
Let’s goooo Happy holidays Flint!
I think the AMMO idea is brilliant. They could rebalance the already existing Soft-Point Bullets to give people a reason to carry SP bullets. Make some of the soft points cover higher class animals, like the .22H SP taking on class 3 animals.
The trophy shots are so cool, maybe they could make it to put it in a frame and in the lodge, that would be cool.
White tail revamp is NEEDED
I’ve always wanted a UK map similar to hirsch with fox, fallow, red, roe, mallard, euro hare and rabbit, pheasant, wild boar and some new species like grey squirrels, reevs muntjac, Chinese water deer, crows, woodpigeon, feral pigeons, woodcock, mink, partridge, and red grouse as options with rabbit dogs or ferrets. With the northern biome being Scottish highland, middle being forest and the lower being farmland.
If not that then fur trapping. Give us steel traps, dog proofs, cage traps and snares but make sure there’s actual strategy to it and then give us a nice little dispatch gun
Yes to both of these! I know a UK map wouldn't be that exciting but as a Brit I would love it. Trapping would also be a lot of fun and add a whole new element to the game.
I'm a cartridge nut. I have studied cartridges and cartridge development rather exhaustively. The 22 Hornet is WAY more cartridge than the game makes it out to be and it's far more powerful than a 17 HMR. To put it in perspective, the best 17 HMR loads are pushing 20gr bullets to around 2,400fps, while the 22 Hornet can 55gr bullets to 2,650. From the standpoint of energy, the 22 Hornet delivers roughly three times as many foot-pounds of energy as any 17 HMR load. The 22H and 243 Winchester are both ridiculously nerfed in COTW.
I agree. If .17 HMR were to be added it should be a class one and two ammo with .22 H getting promoted to cover classes one through three. Alternatively .17 HMR could be a class-one-only ammo, just with flatter ballistics, higher penetration and/or expansion values, and a little more noise than .22 LR.
I think it would neat if you could take those mirror trophy shots and place them in picture frames in the lodge for display along with all the taxidermies
the only thing on my Wishlist is new iron sight weapons like different flintlocks, sharps rifles and carbines and old west guns me and im sure others get bored just sniping everything with a scoped rifle from 300m. And backfill silver ridge with new birds and bighorn ram reskin and new horns
My wish is for the .375 H&H to have a second ammo type to cover Class 3-6. It does have a 200 grain loading for plains game which is like half the standard 400 grain bullets used for big game.
And a double rifle in .375 H&H for those fast follow ups at sub-150 yard ranges.
I really wish they'd added .375 as a double rifle rather than a bolt-action. It would have been more interesting and balanced it better against existing large-game rifles.
Another snow map they could do could be the artic circle. Like northern Canada and all the animals you said for Greenland
I’m really new to the game but one thing I’ve noticed that’s a bit of a let down, is draw distance. It’d be great to scan ahead more and be able to work out your approach to animals. It’d add much more to the stalking side of the game. Maybe less info on distant targets, so just species until you get to 400m. I’d be happy with just that really as it’d add a lot to the game.
I second the additional info for the trophy's in the lodge. Weapon used, distance and map it was harvested on. One weapon I would luke is the .22 Mag. It could be for classes 1 & 2.
Between the existing .22 LR (class 1) and .22 Hornet (class 1 & 2) rifles, I'm not sure what role a .22 WMR would fill in the game.
I would love to see a sage brush western map. Big deserts full of elk mule deer whitetails sage grouse turkeys mountain lions moose bears rabbits wolfs pronghorn ducks geese big horn mountain goats pheasants. This could make long range spotting and shooting a factor
1. A map that is ALL mountain, maybe set in NZ where we can see tahr and wapati feeding on the edge of massive cliff faces.
2. Feeders, they would function like feed zones but you have to restock the food manually making it near impossible to abuse them as it would be to expensive to buy the food.
3. Trail cameras
4. Weather effecting how animals behave, E:G after a thunder storm in vurhogna there will be more animals drinking.
5. Animal interactions, we have seen this with lions chasing gemsbok/wilderbeest but it’s a bit jank so it could do with a rework, plus it would be cool if lions could have a chance of getting one of the lower level animals.
6. Trophy cam, the cabelas big game one is perfect
I would really love to see a search option for your trophies. Give us a place to type in red fox and all of your red fox trophies show up. That would be neat.
A great class 1-3 option would be the .17 WSM faster than the HMR but still a rimfire. Something in a semi auto like the 22
I want to see a few things, but nothing more than a new lodge. I think adding more customization in the lodge would make things so much better. I’m thinking props, more customizable multi-mounts, and being able to place things where you want (not just on the plaques and floor platforms the game has in place already, but be able to put the plaques and platforms where you want). Imagine walking into your lodge and it looks unlike anyone else’s. Or that it looks like the taxidermy you’d see in a Bass Pro or Cabelas, with the big mountains and whatnot in the middle of the store
Render increase, camo customization for character and scope, great one reindeer for sure.
The pamir mountains and the GO cape are both phenomenal ideas
A Greenland and pimar map would be sick, I’m also thinking something in Mongolia to see all the ox, different wolves
A Great One I never hear anyone say that I think would be awesome is a Big Horn Sheep. I think a GO of them could look epic.
I’d like to see a Canadian map for water fowl and include wood ducks, snow geese, pintails, sandhill cranes, and swans.
Kodiak island for a small map. Every waterfowl species you can think of plus fox, blacktail, and grizzlies. Prefect gateway for blacktail or grizzly great one.
Flantro I don’t know if you saw my comment on the livestream but I think the antler and fur polls by EW are all animals that will be on the snow map ew teased for this next year. I think the map will be Canada and will hold those animals on the polls and several other animals like new types of lynx, caribou, muskox, stone sheep and many more. I think this would be such a cool idea especially if set in the winter definitely on my wishlist! Have a Merry Christmas!
1. Better store/storage UI. Show what ammo a weapon uses and the class it's suited to so you don't have to go back and forth trying to figure out if a certain setup can be used for a particular animal you might be targeting.
2. Option to select the amount of ammo you can buy instead of just clicking the buy button over and over when you really want to stock up on certain ammo.
3. Trophy manager overhaul. Only 10 slots to record your best harvests? For every species in the whole game?! You are forced to overwrite other harvests you don't want to delete. We need a different trophy manager for each reserve with enough slots to record your best harvests of EACH species on that specific map.
4. Render distance. It needs to be bumped up to at least 500 meters.
5. Trophy Info. Yeah this is a good suggestion. Score obviously. Fur type. Reserve and date of harvest, the weapon used, shot range and if possible include the vitals info.
Thanks EW for all the incredible features the game already has but just remember, there is always room for improvement.
In my opinion I think they should add the great one mule deer I’ve always wanted one for a while now and all of there racks are gonna be massive. everyone have a good Christmas
1: mainly backfill on existing maps. My main one is dusky grouse on silver ridge peaks cause its pretty close to home but sitka blacktails or dahl sheep on yukon are a close second. Overall just a huge backfill update across all maps.
2: filters on trophy manager cause dear lord
3: great one mule deer
4: non-typicals. Mainly whitetail and mulies but they could do some really cool ones for elk
5: arctic map. Basically whiterun from classic would be ideal plus some more species
6: maybe a NA plains map like the dakotas or wyoming. Big bird hunting potential both upland and waterfowl with mulies, pronghorn, bison, and whitetail
7: central america map could be cool. Oscellated turkeys, brocket deer, whitetail, all the other cool birds, capybara, caiman, jaguar, etc
8: a much more ridiculously large lodge possibly with room for stuff from an africa 2.0 like elephant and giraffe
All of this along with flinters video stuff could be absolutely massive
Merry Christmas!
My wishlist would be
1. Render Sliders for the game, I don’t know about anyone else by my rig could render the globe, I wanna glass from mountaintops like we do in real life.
2. Spotting scope for same reason as above
3. Bipods or shooting sticks, like you deploy them and you can’t move and/or traverse more than 90 degrees, but your weapon is stable OR allow us to bring a backpack and use the backpack as a gun rest like in real life
4. Pakistan map or Pamir mountains as you suggested for the same reasons you listed
5. More ammo choices, maybe not a whole slider system as you suggested but a middle ground between soft point and polymer would be nice
6. Larger caliber weapons to go with larger animals
7. Better ballistics for all weapons
8. Weapon accessories like rangefinders or suppressors. A lot of hunters out in the Midwest are using suppressors to help mitigate felt recoil and reduce muzzle signature, which saves the shooters hearing and allows the impact to be observed, so that you know if the shot was well placed. The suppressors shouldn’t even be allowed to prevent spooking animals, or maybe reduce the range that animals are spooked by the round but also makes the weapon heavier and more unwieldy.
We could have something similar to "Marks of Excellence" from World to Tanks on the barrel of our gun, for how many diamonds or Great Ones we have killed with it
Map markers to mark a certain animal. Option to show need zones for certain animal you want
I would like a south Texas king ranch type map with waterfowl species we don’t have already and an exotic like Nilgai which are on those south Texas ranches like Armstrong and king ranch.
My top 10:
1) New Africa Map. And now that theyre more comfortable doing endangered/controversial species, They can add Elephants, Hippos, Leopards, Cheetahs, etc.
2) Japan Map. They did it for the Angler so why not? Japanese Black and Brown Bear, Sika Deer, Tanuki, Raccoons, Boar, Japanese Macaque, Green Pheasant,etc. Would be great to hunt on map thats notoriously hard to hunt irl
3) My gun ideas: 760 Gamemaster, Savage 99, and a1911 Handgun are stuff I'd like to see
4) Trophy Shots like Classic
5) MORE TROPHY LODGES!!! Like dear lord we are long overdue for it.
6) Melee Weapons for quick protection like a knife.
7) Horses for quieter transportation
8) Skull Mounts for Lodges like Classic
9) Make Bears and Big Cats more dangerous like how Tigers will stalk you
10) Canoes for traveling across rivers and patrolling shorelines
Honorable Mention: Make Turkeys more realistic. Make them strut and gobble more often
I really miss the mosin. I wish they could find a way to make that weapon liable again. I mean for quite some time it was THE gun. Maybe with the bullet customization it would help it out
5:09 we’ll bobcats are class 2 now
Woooo merry Christmas flanter clause
I think a great idea could be suppressers as many hunters here in the USA use them. They could be used similar to like blinds where they just give off less hunting pressure when you kill an animal
My wishlist is
1. more ways to display trophies, euro mounts, tanned pelts, etc.
2. Trail cams
3. Something someone else mentioned. A primitive weapon pack.
4. New africa map
There's probably more but its a start lol.
Keep pushing for age!! It is the best idea the game needs!
I would LOVE a great one Cape Buffalo!!!!!!!!!
They created a great one caribou years ago when they had the beta for great ones. I got one in Yukon and it's in my beta trophy room. I've been waiting for that to actually come out ever since.
Being able to customize your own map like you choose your favorite reserve and you pick your favorite animal to be on that reserve
For example: I choose Layton Lakes and I want gadwall, green winged teal, Canada geese and other animals that aren’t on that map
Ability of animals to climb trees which would really change the dynamic for squirrels, raccoons and black bear. Which could even open up hound hunting.
I love my .25-06 it's a Lazer beam. I think if they did a small map again for second map I think a Texas game ranch would be a cool idea. Scimitar horned oryx, nilgai, audad, zebra, whitetail, red deer, fallow, muntjac. Loads of other options.
It’s been awhile since I watched you omg from the last time I watched you your voice had changed so much
Trophy shots is #1 on my list as well.
The Sundarbans: Royal Bengal tigers, indian muntjac, wild boars, mugger and saltwater crocs, rock pythons, axis deer, Hornbills, storks, ibis, eagles etc.
I think that the great one mule deer will come this year. We are already getting new rack variations sometime in 2025 so why not finally give us the great one we’ve been asking for along with it. It really just seems like the perfect timing to me.
So that's why you were asking about the 25-06 yesterday 😂 the bullet weight range thing would be sweet, hornady makes all the way down to a 75gr vmax varmint bullet listed at 3600fps out of the 25-06 so that would be definitely a classic 2 thumper, and then yeah up to 120gr at 3000fps ive even heard of folks taking elk and moose with the 25-06. Wouldn't be my first choice for game that size but it's good to know it works in a pinch
you are very epic flinter
I honestly think they should add a great one croc and alligator. I think this would bring a lot of people to the Mississippi map and the emerald coast map.
I would like to see a revision of the .30-30, maybe bipods, longer render distance, and feeders for hogs and/bear
Everyone’s sleeping on great one roe deer. Could be sooo darn cool
Nice list! It got me quite hyped up for cotw in 2025 and made me realize this game still has a lot more potential.
I would also like a roe deer model rework. Recently I made a (czech language) video where I photographed them irl and then hunted them in cotw and I realized how bad they look in the game.
My favorite Idea was that great one caribou with velvet on its antlers
300 BO really is a Sub/Super cartridge. You run subsonic for using a can and supersonic without. That's the original idea but most people just use subsonic ammo even without a can.
I would like a way to mark the map like the angler
All I want is a bushveld Southern African map that has Impala and Grrater Kudu followed by all the other antelopes, and a rework of weapon classes and ammo in game
I think a great one lion would be killer like just think of it having a eye missing or something but I 100% support the Greenland map
honestly i just want an update to caribou/reindeer, and i want to see palmation and shovels and backscratchers and all of that
their scoring system really need a rework
I’m still calling that the next great one is the wild boar. I know the pattern was broken with the Tahr but every other great one is available in base game. They have a lot of opportunities to make the tusks huge and broken or maybe they have like mutated extra tusks growing thru the mouth. I would also love a new lodge that’s large like the African one but has a classic vibe like the Layton lakes trophy lodge. Also, I agree the Cape buffalo needs reworked so bad. Every animal in Vurhonga needs a rework tbh.
Personally, the Great One I would enjoy most would be one for either Elk species.
Cause, honestly, neither of the species look very good, but the Roosevelt Elk look by FAR the worst.
They could go really crazy with the drop tines and clubs, which would be absolutely stunning to see in the wild.
Idk I personally think the roosies look better then the rockies
@@Odd1006 I mean, I agree purely based on models
But... the truRacks... are just so bad for the Roosevelts
Great One Blacktail would be crazy
Would love for them to add trophy shots and the ability to hang the shots in frames around our lodges.
Merry Christmas flinter dude. I see you have videos of PA Deer season each year are you a PA guy
I hunt with a 25-06 in real life and this video is the first time i have ever heard anyone else mention it before.
My perfect 2025,
Summer Drop: another Africa map, not an Africa 2.0 that would replace Vurhonga, but a unique Africa map, half jungle, half thin forest, and with this for the Summer drop we need either a great one lion or wildebeest.
Winter Drop: a small Midwest map made for waterfowl hunting and big game hunting that would have a great one plains bison and a great one mallard, included in this drop would be a Nepal lodge that would be much more customizable.
I want to see something for driven hunting like you can do in classic.
I also want to see more variation in how birds fly, in height and in speed.
I made a post that a GO Lion would be cool and they could do rare furs with distinguishing scars and stuff too
