Best Arctic Camo

[Kohi]

I'm planning to do animal missions (Snowshoe Hare, Polar Bears, Dall Sheep, and Arctic Foxes) in Whiterime Ridge. What do you think is the best Arctic Camo I should buy and have among these three:

1.) Sneaky 3D Arctic Bundle
-Visual Reduction: EXCELLENT to all areas of subarctic
-No sound and scent reduction

2.) Arctic Fox Bundle
-Visual and Scent Reduction: GOOD to all areas of subarctic
-No sound reduction

3.) Traditional Arctic Bundle
-Visual, Scent, and Sound Reduction: SOME to all species (corrected by abc123, thanks)

I prefer the camo that would be good overall for the animals I mentioned above. Thank you!

Some might say that the free arctic camo is enough. I am a fan of camos so I'm planning to get one ^_^

Correction - this one works on all maps, not only on arctic. Yes you can wear it where you want except hot weather (bushrangers / piccabeen).

Also you forgot Ghillie camo, just saying.

Idk, initially I hunted in free clothes, and THE ONLY issue I had was big arctic foxes. They were detecting me lying prone from around 50m. So hunting them with a bow was quite difficult and frustrating. Also that blue basic suit is just looking unpresentable.

So I thought really hard about this and ended up with Sneaky 3D Arctic Bundle. This fixed all the issues.

Ghillie is interesting, but idk, often I have to readjust my position when animals are coming to the call, so I don't like the idea of having a constant added noise.

Fox bundle is looking goofy in my opinion, Traditional one has weak visual reduction, and I think that's the only camo type that really matters.

I don't care about scent. Normally I try to move against the wind of course, but I never use scent eliminator and I have absolutely no problems with hunting pumas and foxes and what not with a crossbow. (using electronic caller / motion predator decoy).

On other maps where it's not cold, I'm wearing an Outback suit adding some gloves and facewear on top. Just because I don't feel like buying a camo for each map and constantly swapping them. Works fine, as I sad - no issues with bow hunting at very close range. So, visual reduction is the most important imho.

compared to the prices the effect is realy not great/high.

i got the traditional at first, works well and since i dont rely on my clothing alone, i didnt realy notice much downsides.
got the fox hat and the white fur now. still no gamechanger, but visuals are obviously important.
movement is up to you, be smart and you get along.

this is the same with all other suits that have SOME effect, you can use them for roleplay though ;)

scent can be handled abc123's way.
but i belive that 50 uses can of scent reducer will payback, if you wear visual camo, like sneaky 3d.
i have those for almost all maps and use them with that. but again, no camo will cover your fails XD

in the end, its a game item, no real animals see that way.
and ghilie.. what can i say ^^ this is so weird ^^ its a sniper/recon suit that only works in the propper enviroment and when you dont move at all. its even worse when you move, like at hunting ^^
every military camo is useless agains animals and even humans will see movement, so camo will never render you invisable.

Sneaky 3D Arctic looks good and does the job. It is the most interesting even if it is not essential (invest elsewhere)

Arctic Fox is more of a skin suitable for female avatar

I have another question. Do backpacks help for camo?

[Hylie Pistof]

they add another few % of camo, but since we dont know how much that actualy is... ^^

but if i recall correct now, they dont add noise like a ghilie or as in CotW.
and also dont add to your carry capacity ^^ that has to be bought seperate in the store, should be one of the first thing to do ;)

again, since i dont know how much you already have - the price for camo is in no relation to the use/effect.
its more roleplay and motivation to play, but will never be able to diminish your mistakes.

as not too serious example...
if a deer looks at you, standing motionless, it will take a few seconds to actualy identifie you as a human (like the time we need to spot, until the outline flashes) - now in full camo this will add another second or 2, but eventualy you will still be discovered!

yes, thats a very simple explanaition.
