I already own and have many hours in this game, but I'm going to watch and support you anyways . Keep it up man!
Plus you play the game its meant to be played rather than fast traveling to need zones like others on this platform. I admire this very much.
@@mastahswoored5117 I do fast travel between outposts and use the ATV, but I definitely don't grind need zones endlessly. I will sometimes ambush hunt from a tree stand or blind...but it won't be for literal months on end. It's just my preferred style, I like to see what's over the next hill so to speak. ;)
Me too.
wow! that was totally nessecary to comment! do you videotape yourself feeding homeless people too?
Snufflelufagate or whatever your name is. I just truly don’t know what you mean lol.
Been playing for about five days now - started after watching this tutorial and so glad I watched it first. I love the game, it’s so immersive; I’m on 55 harvests already and just took down my first Black Bear with the .270 and a polymer tipped bullet to the left lung.
Sorry for the late response, but CONGRATS! Sounds like you’re doing great out there. Glad I could help a bit.
So I am definitely being too ambitious trying for a bear and moose on my first day ?
first thing i took down in the game was a black bear, i was stalking a whitetail and i literally ran into it, It took a swipe at me and ran but not before i shot it in the liver!
still playing?
@@bridgettawinchester3063 I took my first black bear down barely 2 days into the game. Shot him with 230. soft into the neck. from like 125m. Broke his backbone in the first shot. Dropped him down immediately. it was more of a lucky shot and surprisingly it was my only big game animal that I dropped down immediately. Anything else would run for miles.
Probably about 10 hours into the game before I came across this tutorial, really wish I’d found this 1st. Some great information that is for sure gonna help me get them harvests in, great work dude 👌
THIS IS THE ONE ‼️ thank you for starting with the finest details. I looked up so many videos and was unable to find all the tiny stuff for a beginner! Appreciate you!!
I found you because of this video this past week or so. I have since watched > 8 hours of your content, sticking to all HCOW. Which lead me to your other channel.
I have a long lists of gratitude and praises.
Keeping this short for now.
So grateful. 👍
Thank you for starting a new playthrough. I'm new to the game (picked it up on steam sale) and found your channel through this game. I will be watching your long dark videos now too
Great job on the tutorial. Been playing a little bit, have all the current DLC's. Still enjoyed listening to your tutorial. Look forward to more from you.
Ahha soft tip ammo at the start. I thought I missed the organs on this first deer. Tracked it far. And when I lost it I stumbled upon a MOOSE. The result was same as in The Long Dark. I was reduced to half health. Lucky, there is no broken ribs in this game.
Thank you for this introduction. I like this game, but after first day I was ready to give up. Whole day wandering through forest and those animals were playing with me. No signs of them.
It gets better as you start to understand the dynamics and subtleties of the hunt. Don’t give up! 😉👍
@@Accurize2 I have to unlock ammo suitable for moose and get revenge :D
I thought of the long dark too!
i started playing yesterday, and the first that i did i got the same soft ammo but switched to the one that has lower expansion but higher penetration, and looking at anatomy of the deer after my first kill i realized where the heart is so I've been trying to get behind the deer on their left side and shoot at the angle where their bend is, and always get a clean heart/lung shot after about 25kills.
Game is really nifty.
Yeah I’ve been struggling so far, but I haven’t even hunted in quite some time, just don’t have the funds. Thanks for putting this out dude, I’ll be using it as a reference and I just got the game like three days ago. I knew my starting ammo isn’t great for what I want to be doing on the game, but yeah I still need guidance!
Just the video I need! Keep up all the great work bro and as always be safe out there 🙏
New player here: great video showing what a novice can acheive with a bit of care and patience. Subscribed.
Came to say that you are one of the most constant content creator I follow on this platform and your work is something I always come back to with pleasure everytime.
I just bought this on ps4 last day of sale on the March 4th. Gotta say I absolutely love it, and love your videos on this game.
Excellent Video - I have been playing this for about 3 weeks and didn't know about the ammo type number or the red on the map, or the scope and distance ability. Subscribed - still about 20 minutes in so I am bound to find more things I didn't know about.
This is a terrific overview. Learned a lot. Thanks!
I just started about four days ago. I was shooting moose, bear, deer, and fowl with the .243. I started over becasue I wasted money on building stands. This tutorial was very imformative. Thanks.
Great video. Taught me a lot. I just started playing a few days ago and have struggled. This will help a lot. I know RNG matters and I need to be lucky to find them, get them to respond to the call and be in the right spot to get them. At least now I know what to expect and how to do it correctly.
A lot of it is just knowing your doing it right and it will work. If you’re not sure it can become a bit daunting to have that confidence which breeds the patience needed. I hope you continue to enjoy the game. It’s a really good one for escaping and relaxing for a bit.
brought the game a while back. thought to actually give it a try, video helped so much thanks homie!
You covered every single question I had many thanks
Superb, now I feel ready to get back out there. Thanks for your time.
Hi there, this is great! I been playing the game on and off but now that I have had the chance to watch your vids the game is much more fun, I understand a lot more stuff now. I Thank you buddy.
Well done. Thank you for this vid. It really helped.
Great Video. I got this game around the time you released it and it would have been so helpful if I had seen it then.
Great tutorial, mate. Lots of great information At the 28:30 mark, you mention the bleat caller. It does work. I've had use of it n had to share it. If yiur hidden and you dee a deer within rang 200m Max. If you watch them, they'll look for the sound n head towards it. If your hiden n patent enough, they walk right under /past or around you. I'm giving you an easy close-up shot. Good for photography too
Just started playing this game last night, ended up pulling an all nighter scouring around & thought I am sure glad there's no hunger & thirst stat, or I wouldn't be making it very far in this game.
your pfp looks very familiar
@@zblustorm I just can't quite place my beans on what that may be.... Hmmm... (*Crosses paws*)
Thank you so much for this video. I want to love this game and was so confused. This was so informative. For example I thought the bullet type number was animal difficulty. Really appreciate it
Just bought this game. Best guide BY FAR. Thank you for uploading this.
Thank you so much for this vid, I was gunna quit because it was just seeming so relentless looking for the one I shot as it gets away, but all the little tips at the start helped me a lot and three kills in. thank you for the vid.
Congrats on the three kills! I’m honored that I could help. Mission Accomplished on my end then. Happy Hunting!!
That was awesome! I just started playing this game the other day. This video got me even more excited about it. I was wondering why my head shots on the bear and moose weren't putting them right down. Thank you😁.
Great tutorial. This video really helped out a lot .
Good job... It's a really great starting tutorial. 👍
I just started playing on Xbox. This was really helpful. I didn’t even know about the visibility system, and after watching you, I realize that I get hyper focused on the actual tracks when I track an animal and end up walking right up on it and spooking it. I need to back off when I realize it’s close. If you wanted to make more videos on this, I think one focused on tracking lightly injured animals would be helpful
Just bought the better ammo, and wow that makes it a night and day difference. Shots that normally might not even make it to one lung sometimes hit two
Nice guide, really in depth. I got this game last week in the sale with all DLC and been totally obsessed with it. I haven't played anything that sucked the hours up like COTW does for a long time. 70 hours played in a week 😂 And at least 10 hours of that time has been mapping all my watering zones at Hirschfelden. I get the feeling the devs never really intended players to figure all that out lol. I'm still learning and picking up info so this is all useful.
Figure what our ? Explain to me I am brand new 😅 lol
@@kriskater They are very cagey about things like respawn mechanics. Even with tools it's very hard to work out exactly what the algorithm is for respawns. And you'll get your comments deleted if you mention any mods or tools on the Steam forums.
@@goodlookinouthomie1757 oh wow ! I mean it makes sense though they’re going for an organic and natural environment to hunt in and people are trying to figure out the coding 😂
Cool! That's very nice of you!
This was very helpful. Thanks
so happy i came across this vid very detail
Thanks for the great tutorial. Have watched a few and yours is the best in many ways that others have already remarked upon.
I'm really hooked now just need to get on and buy the game 🙂.
I’m glad it was helpful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Happy hunting!
Awesome tutorial dude!
I luv this game so much .. and yet sometimes finding animal is difficult but now thanks to u i know why and i know how to play this game right thx buddy.!
Glad I could help! Happy hunting Ezz!!
Thank you that help alot
Best tutorial video I’ve seen
Great video man, it’s always a pleasure. Btw have you ever thought about putting your some of your favorite clips on an “Accurize” tiktok? I feel like throwing some of your clips on there would bring a ton of fresh viewers to your channel. Just a thought i had while scrolling around and I thought of you!
I never really thought about it. My long style gameplay didn’t really seem compatible with the ADHD world of UA-cam Shorts and TikTok…maybe in wrong though. 🤷♂️
Ths was soooooo helpful
Very helpful
Wow. This is perfect 👍
Nice! I got the game a couple of days ago because of your videos. and because it was free
Now that’s a good price! Happy hunting!!
awesome video, thanks
I call the "wind tracker" my "Stink Gage" describing it as "My stinky green smell" goes from me and spreads out. That makes it a lot easier to new players to understand. Make sure your 'stink' is not in the direction of the animals you intend to hunt.
Other tips:
1. For the "X-RAY" view on harvest, click right-mouse button on PC. This is useful to show you exactly where vital organs are located for each animal's future kills.
2. My rule of thumb on noise... ignoring other senses (smell, sight) and NO PERKS/SKILLS.. On a typical animal you can run up to 150m away, walk up to 80m away, and from there you need to crawl. Just know that for most animals detection priority is typically 1st = Hear you. 2nd = See you. 3rd = Smell you.
3. The game has no moral punishment.. just reduces your scores when using wrong-bullets or poor shot location. So if you get an opportunity, don't ignore it.. TAKE THE SHOT and you might get lucky... If the animal is only minor-injured don't bother tracking it. Move on. This is NOT REAL LIFE HUNTING. Fully unlocking the game requires money and experience so play the game correctly and shoot without morals or mercy. Once you are a badass high level rich hunter, then you can become a saint of mercy and ethics.
4. Starting players should try for a vital hit (sideways-torso towards the head but avoid the shoulder bone) on EVERYTHING THEY SEE. Initial gun has soft-point ammo that is FREE but it requires the above shot placement to have any chance at killing a level 3-4. Shoot at every target you can for money/levels.
5. Starting Players should go to Hirschfelden , unlocking the closest outpost. Get 2 sets of 10 CANADIAN GOOSE decoys from inventory (I think you start with them) and buy at least 100 bullets of FREE ammo for your starter rifle (store the shotgun and pistol). If you have the TENTS DLC, bring a hunting blind. Go to a hayfield (there is one about 400m SW from that starting outpost). Put out all 20 of your Goose decoys in the hayfield, put up your hunting blind a bit away from the decoys with some empty space between them in the hayfield (~30m). Then enter your hunting blind and wait for geese (If you don't have a blind then just go completely prone (Z on PC) on top of a hay bale and wait). The geese will magically start arriving eventually landing nearby.. take out your starter rifle and kill one (if you can kill multiple then do so). Exit you blind and harvest and then do it again. For new players this is MUCH EASIER then wandering around.. Geese will continually come to you and be unable to hear/see you in the blind. Make sure you do this during day time so they see your lures. Geese are minimally affected by hunting pressure so kill, kill, kill. Using your starting rifle and free ammo any torso shot on a goose should drop it immediately (its over-powered for Geese, but you should still make 450-500 Hunter Bucks, 150 xp, and 27 rifle skill each goose.)
You can aim for the spine in the neck on white tails and black tails, and penetrate all the way to it from every angle even with the soft points on the .243, it drops them too.
I recommend useing both the roe and bleat callers they do work and i lured in two does and a bucks
I was told the game was bad...”because they don’t tell you anything”. I guess that person should’ve seen your video. I’m glad I’m getting this information early, thank you.
Very welcome. Enjoy and happy hunting!
This is the best video on the topic.
Your channel is such an overpowered channel. I personally have no idea how you still don't have 1 000 000 subscribers yet, considering that the majority of the UA-camrs who have a million subscribers don't even have a glimpse of the professionality that many of your videos have.
Regarding the content of this video: Before you started recording the video, did you memorize everything that you're supposed to say? As a guy who holds a lot of presentations, I struggle with memorizing what I am about to say when before holding the presentation, and I wonder how you were able to speak for long periods of time without running out of things to say nor forgetting what you were supposed to say.
I would appreciate it if you reply to this comment giving me a couple of tips on particularly that topic, as well as possibly some extra tips that you think may be helpful for me.
But regardless of that, 10/10 vid, looking forward into seeing your channel grow bigger.
Goodness would i have needed this about a half a year ago when i first purchased it. I'm still learning soooo much and this video helped out quite a bit! I didn't even know you only had so many active skills. Honestly thought once you unlocked them, that was it. You just had it. Although resetting mine will be a pain from how expensive it is....
I did notice one accidental inaccurate point however, regarding the Bloodhound/Dog DLC, you do get one free to start off with. *_Afterwards_* you'll have to pay for any additional doggos. Same for any tents, lures, etc that you purchase DLC for.
I.... fell in love with this game. Im far from great at it, still basically a noob with a lot of things. However bought all the maps and quite a bit of additional dlc to have fun and support the devs. I don't have an RTV... as im one of those who does enjoy just walking and admiring the beauty of this amazing game, and the gorgeous sound design.
Genuinely sometimes just hop on with my headphones just to relax and listen while up in a tree stand or such for saftey reasons. Lol
Im just before half way through the video but I'm already learning quite a bit! Thank you so much!
I have over 1000 hours and every map dlc, but I still watch beginners guides to see what I wish I could have known.
Loved it, I learned a few things, and you are super relaxed and pleasant to listen to. Good on you man. Thank you.
Sweet! Glad I was able to help a little bit. Happy hunting!!
Thanks so much for this guide , just bought the game and was struggling to understand the mechanics like the inventory , ammo types etc . I'm just struggling to track animals and stay hidden . The animals tend to always sense or see me .
2 years ago I bought this game.
I'm still so bad at tracking animals.
awesome dude
Been wandering for days. Great game. Save your money.
i know im late, but i was super busy with uni, now as i return to cotw i see this on my recommended, skipped through the video and you have 0 DLC usage it seems, which is great, ill watch the full video tomorrow as now is very late, maybe i learn more technical information than just winging it as i did till now, and as an example, not from you but from a short video, deer beyond 200 meters dont hear the gunshot if you dont shoot towards them, im sure your video has more stuff like this, cant wait to discover the whole 53 mins of it when i wake up !
seriously considering this game.
Thank you for these tips. I started playing the game a few days ago and I feel like the game has done a poor job at teaching me its mechanics and acclimatising me to its gameplay loop. It sort of just throws lots of information at you at once and by the time that info is useful it's past its relevancy.
you start with a .270 stradavarius right from the get go, you only have access to soft points for a bit but better than ranger .243 with soft points.
27:40 brought a tear to my eye
that was helpful
I really enjoyed the Encased playthrough, will there be more of it in future?
Sure I can do more.
Shot like 4 deer with that beginner rifle and ain't killed nothin'. I am starting to think I suck. Lol. I figured I was hitting vital areas. But evidently not. Gonna have to keep grinding. Thanks for the video.
happens to me also
you need to follow the deer after shooting it u will find it dead
Just started playing a few days ago. Had no idea i was messing up potential diamonds by using the .300 mag for all animals.
Hi ! very nice guide ! But how did you manage to activate all skills and perks ? I'm level 60 and I've only been able to activate 11 skills and 11 perks.
I have over 100 hours of gameplay and I had no idea what hunting pressure was 💀
Calling actually works really well, just press it once and AFK for a bit... those deer will walk right up to you!
Did not know that the number that shows what class they are was about the class. I'm still new but I thought it was how big the group was lol
Thanks for the video!
Is the ability to "spot" an animal, where you can see their outline as they're hidden in underbrush, exclusive to the binoculars? I usually just give a quick look ahead with my rifle's scope and I've never seen any option to "spot" anything.
Just curious, did you mod this account your playing for the tutorial?
LETS GO
Main reason i keep a tent on me so i can just switch right there instead of always going to the outposts
Main things that made me delete it was I couldn’t find any outpost wasn’t sure how to buy and equipped new guns and then how to get the ammo on the gun and I was really struggling to find any game animals I’d track and track and then lose all truck after 5 min so I deleted then I seen the bundle pack with the dog and tried it again and now it’s the only game I play as of now but kind a getting bored wish there were more maps with black tail deer I only seem to find moose elk goats and bison but that’s really it I rarely get a nice buck let alone even see them
You are too funny. You get to talking in a whispered voice when you sense an animal. Realism at its' finest.
Did tbis release to counsok before PC? Says Aug 16th until available on pc
Lol, my real dog her name is Rosti, but it sounds the same when you say it. She was listening like, who the hell is saying my name?
How did you have so make perks and skill points for only being on level 15?
How did you max all the skills, I thought they were limited to 22 each for perks and skills?
I've recently redownloaded the game 2 days ago after not touching it since it came out and I got to say, I'm loving the updates and the DLCs. moose seem to be my only issue as even with a .308 I'm having trouble killing it. Multiple shots and hours of tracking and it hasn't gone down at all
That’s funny, my first day downloading it & my first kill is a moose with the starter rifle. Took about 20min
.303 makes short work of moose, polymer that is
My first kill, last night, was with the pistol 😂
Yo how do you zoom with the scope and binoculars on Xbox
What an interesting game idea.
Here after the angler one trailer. Idk how plausible hunting is for me right now, but fishing is definitely doable.
just got this game a few days ago, so far I've played for 3 hrs and killed 5 animals because I'm terrible. hopefully this helps.
At 50:13 why you didnt shoot for the heart throught the deers chest? Its better than lungs.
The first deer I fluked a 1 hit kill got right on the spinal cord, I seriously couldn't beleive it lol
Nice shot! Congrats!!
It tells me that it always sees me where do you get to where it doesn't see you or where do you buy some more clothes someone please help me thanks
Fun fact, check as a noob how many animals you have actually spooked away by sight, noise, and smell...I could not believe how many I did, compared to how many animals I actually got to see...
How can i change the time to 12 hour's instead 24 day time driving me crazy🤯
Some one tell me how to switch between the x-ray view and normal view of the animal when looking at the summary of the animal on console btw
I assume this is an automatic save when you quit. I heard that it might make a slight difference when walking not to have your rifle out in front or carrying it.
There isn’t really a save. It keeps your location and time, but all the animals, blood trails and harvests get reset when you leave the map/quit.
I was searching relax in this game, but in the very start of it, I’ve got bumped by two moose…
Are you planning to do more tutorial videos or just this one?
Sure. I have a promo video for the new region - Mississippi Acres that I’m working on tonight. I have a deadline for that one. What type of other guides/tutorials would you like to see?
Honestly, and I know you’re multiple series and play throughs of it are great, but maybe a dedicated Long Dark survival tutorial?
Ok Sarge... 158gr. LSJSP Federal 357 do big damage to a hog out of a 6 inch barrel Ruger Redhawk. That ammo in game is weak as water brother. Out of a rifle? I mean I get it, distance. I was a gunsmith apprentice until the big grab junk started in the 90s and I got out. What do you think IRL vs this?
I’m not into ballistics really. I view my pistol, shorty and rifle as tools. As long as they go bang when I pull the trigger, I’m happy. My main concern is just making sure they are well maintained and I can put the rounds exactly where I want them.
So I really don’t have an opinion.
@@Accurize2 Well right at the end you said it was 243 soft point so that explains a LOT...I would definitely want "Zippy the wonder slug" in that load whatever it is right now. .243 is minimum but ya gotta have the right bullet. Even .223/556 would work better in a good bolt action. Used to have a friend in NC hunted deer with 7.62 by 39, basically a 30-30 in a semi auto. That'll stop Bambi in its tracks!😂
@@Accurize2 I'm the guy who wants to see what the round does to a target for the science of it. I should've gone into ballistics and worked for a dept. somewhere. Not interested in killing anything unless I have to eat it or God forbid they're gonna kill me or someone else and you HAVE to do it. Ballistics is fascinating
If you shoot them do they eventually die no matter what? Like with the low no organs hit?
no
I’ve been playing this for like five fours and haven’t killed anything since the tutorial. Am I stupid? I don’t want to stop playing though
