bit of science for you. was in the giraffe stand with a chamois 35m from me, shot across a pond for something else, chamois only alerted for about 5-10 secs before going calm. also this was hiker difficulty
Great find Bumble!!! I wanted to let you know, the Chamois I shot yesterday and couldn't find and thought it disappeared from the map, I found it this morning. I am happy that it wasn't a bug. On the subject of video, hunters need to remember, if a bullet hits tree branches or limbs, the bullet will change directiion.
Glad it wasn't a bug! Thanks for reporting in. As for bullet changing direction, for sure that is a concern. If it is modelled in the game though we have to see
Awesome find Bumble!. So nice now invisible leaf hitboxes don't eat your shots now. Those were the annoying ones. Shooting through branches, totally understandable that it would deflect a bullet and such. But leaves and dodgy hitboxes? Super frustrating haha. So glad they fixed it!. Makes me wonder what the thickest tree you can shoot though would be. A fun challenge would be using the .338 through a tree just thick enough it becomes ethical for a rabit or something 😂 Thanks for doing the science and sharing your findings! 😄 Always very much appreciated
That was indeed really interesting. I wonder if the tree taking energy therefore registers the bullet altering trajectory? Loosing 3-4k joules and still traveling some distance to the goat id have kinda expected the bullet to drop a lot more than it did. Im sure your future sciencing will reveal all :) Looking forward to more videos :)
Ahhhhh It drove me nuts you didn't try the flu-flu after the apex 😂 nice video Bumblewoot and great info, now we need foliage to mow down like predator movie, jk. What a great addition instead of just a fix.
Agree the twigs is a big change. Previous didn't bother me, I have always focused on my positioning to have a clear shot, sorta just how I expect to hunt, so didn't bother me personally, and probably this will not change that in me, since it was ingrained in me before woth game. Glad it's done so others can enjoy it more
Totally agree with you there. Ive seen the smallest grass/foliage totally decimate a bullets trajectory far more than one would expect so IRL I never intentionally shoot through anything and carry that forward into my game play.
@@bumblewoot nice info on video. I have avoided tree branches, so didn't even know how they behaved on game when shooting or that they needed fixing. Now i definitely try shooting through branches if situation needs it. And nice to know even bad shot trough trees could possibly get kill if real lucky. Thanks
I was just playing and it came to me. I wonder if this means that tree stands are a no no anymore now the trees are actually working as intended. Before it would have been impossible, but now, it would actually work?
@@bumblewoot smoother turning for sure (console btw) and it seems wayyy easier to just coast along looking for stuff instead of flying through full speed or barely moving at all, more throttle immersion
I have maybe a bug and a few questions. First: how come only mature animals respond to calls? (Bug) Second: why does sambar only drink for 2 hours? Third: what caller is for sambar
Hi! Sambar do not have a caller in game (even though one exists in the real). Why this is? I do not know. Sambar only drink for 2 hours? I'll have to relook. And only mature animals respond to calls? Sometimes this is intentional for certain calls, but could be unintentional as well. The high fit deer grunt call only calls matures for example. No one has thoroughly tested the callers on the new map yet
@@bumblewoot at least the morning drink for sambar is 5-7. The elk caller is what I noticed only calling in mature animals without low fitness responding or even young to adults
Ive been playing a bit in Tikamoon and had adults and such responding. So maybe you just happened to have an off-herd outside the call threshold for what you were calling for at the time (if that wording makes sense).
It is interesting and a nice step, but imagine it will get lots of push back since in animal and now terrain not having trajectory impacted by impacts. It is a step but imagine it will generate more not realistic comments/complaints
Hey Bumble. Been a while. I want to mention something off topic about the game. When I first purchased it within a week of it coming out, they said anyone who bought this early would receive future dlc's and add ons free of charge. To date they have been true to their word. Until now. I have all the dlc's up til this one free of charge. But now they want payment. I'm not apposed to paying for any game, and I have plenty. But that was they're deal not mine. I tell you this because I have no idea how to speak with them, and you are the only guy I've been in contact with that know's how. So just want you to know what they're doing, and any advice? Be well and keep up all the good work with all your game videos.
Hi Clarence! I guess I do not recall their original communications, but the original deluxe version of whatever it was called just included the first year maps. At one point they did say something about weapon packs being free. The Remington pack was, but the latest Steyr pack was not free. They did clear up some confusion at that time saying something along the lines that those announcements were just for year one. This new map and the next require purchase yes. To my knowledge that's the devs position.
The strange part is when I respawned the jeep with the park sign that is when all of a sudden I noticed a huge difference. The engine now sounds like its in low gear Going fast. It seems once the vehicle is respawned it got rid of the old configuration. Also worth noting the jeep was is in perfect condition before I slammed it into something and needed to do a respawn of the jeep. And bam! Turbo charged. Its almost a bit to much speed. Its also difficult to keep it at a slower speed.
I saw the hitbox on trees fix and lost my shit. We did it guys, we complained about it enough that they worked on fixing it 🤝
haha! Well credit to NRG devs for listening. I think it was a much needed fix
bit of science for you. was in the giraffe stand with a chamois 35m from me, shot across a pond for something else, chamois only alerted for about 5-10 secs before going calm. also this was hiker difficulty
It would seem the tripod reduces spooking of weapons. I have seen this too
I think i was just as excited as you were 😂.
Great video!
A very nice change to the game 😄
I love that you discovered this aspect of what they did, Bumble. What a find! Big IRL-type improvement.
I got super excited LOL The possibilities! bring out the .338

Something else I noticed is that dead birds float back to shore when shot over deep water. Finally
yep! They actually had this in for a little while now. Looks like they sped it up. Large animals will float across as well
I tested the branches and leaves right out of the gates works for me!!!
Woot!
That great Thanks Bumble

Thanks Cameron! I think the .338 will be even more fun now to see what size tree it can go through. I'm getting lots of ideas haha
@@bumblewoot haha I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from this 😂
This is gold, this will make me want to play the game again :)
Thanks for the upload.
I'm finding it really fun lol.... actively trying to put a tree between myself and the deer 😂
@@bumblewoot Trees and foliage is probably what has annoyed me the most in the whole game :) Great stuff....

I figured you'd like the details 😃 still need to science it. I doubt it changes trajectory but that would be cool!
I've shot a lot of animals on the new map through branches and bushes. Let's hope it carries over to the other maps.
I hope so. From my understanding this was already built into the code for all of the trees from day one. It just was functioning
Ahhhhh It drove me nuts you didn't try the flu-flu after the apex 😂 nice video Bumblewoot and great info, now we need foliage to mow down like predator movie, jk. What a great addition instead of just a fix.
😂 technically it is a fix though, as apparently it was always supposed to work like this
along with fixing head movement in a previous patch this is pretty big, shot a goose in the air behind trees and was pretty pleased at the fix
Nice! no more immersion breaking leaf eating bullets 🎉

I love it I've been threading the needle all day It's great.
It is! Made a shot earlier between two trees. I didn't even hesitate =)
I could do anything with my life, but i am watching some dude shooting trees..
And i like it!
haha! thanks! (And I'm the one getting excited and youtubing shooting trees!) 😂

@@BandW1897 it's a nice little fun thing to try 😃 satisfying too

Yes, this no doubt is a reason behind the change. They want to add treestands at some point 👍
@@bumblewoot Awesome! Thanks for all the science and such 😊
got a 5 star sambar deer yesterday :))
🎉
Just realized you can take down stands from map
Yeah, I haven't had time to get my tripod stand guide video out yet 😆
Yeah, I haven't had time to get my tripod stand guide video out yet 😆
They 100% tweaked the driving system and it’s a noticeable change to me just because i play lots of car games
The vehicles changed? Neat! how so? I can't say I noticed
