Best weapon pack?

[Toallín]

im new in this game and I need to know the best weapon packs

wp1 if you like bows its a must. it gives you the only crossbow.

wp2 if you want some rifle variety, drilling is ok, but I never personally use it and its buggy. The .45 is decent with the shot gun attached. its like a knockoff Lemat II..

wp3 imo is the most lack luster. The air rifle can be fun for a small game and being sneaky.

There is also the black powder guns. Pretty fun if you want to 'play' a frontiers person. if not I'd pass.

I like sniper rifles, and I was seeing more the wp3 and the Smoking Barrels, which do you say is better for snipers?

yea WP3 would work for long range. The 'musket' actually is very good at long distances. I personally don't use the M1, but I'm sure with a scope its a good ranged weapon too..

All this also depends on which class animals you are hunting too. Different guns for different classes or sizes of animals.

Whatever gets you the 30.06 for free to start out with. Good for animal classes 4-8
The 7mm has really good smack down power and is rated for animal classes 4-9. IMO it is a bit on the weak side for animal classes 8 and 9 so I prefer to use the .338 or the .300 on those (Bison, Buffalo, Moose, Elk etc..).

There is no one best load out suitable for all animal classes on all reserves. On some reserves you will have more shot opportunities in excess of 150 meters than others just as some reserves have more large thick skinned animals than others.

I don't take long shots but I wanted to test the muzzleloader with mini ball. I saw a bear at a much longer distance than i'd shoot and shot it with the muzzy. It turned out to be a gold bear and yardage was 269 yds. No real far but better than I thought the muzzy would do. I aimed at the top of it's spine and hit lung.

Best sniper rifles in the game are the .300 from the Yukon DLC, and the .303 you get from Te Awaroa. The 6.5mm (I think you get from Parque Fernando), but can't remember shoots really well, but it's underpowered compared to the .303. The .223 is only suitable for class 2 game because of low penetration.

All that being said, the best weapons pack as far as value is probably the Smoking Barrels. It has the M1 which is the only semi-auto option for class 4-8. You also get the Kudzik .50 cal which is an extrememly powerful weapon for close range encounters with bear, elk, and moose.

Hey, what DLCs do you recommend for a new player on a budget? The 2019 pack is more in the price range I'd like to get for it. Would that alone give me a good experience? Thinking maybe adding the hound on top of it, don't really want to spend more than that right now though, tough times and all that.

[Emanouche]

Just bought 2019 edition and added all free dlcs, should be good enough for me for now. might add a dlc or 2 later, or buy more map packs. I want to be sure I enjoy the game and I'm not so broke before I buy more.

The tents, tripods, Smoking Barrels weapon pack and as many maps as you want. Highly recommend Yukon because it has the .300

This game got spears? I been binging on Tim Wells haha.

You could try to dodge the Bison from crushing you. That could be a game in itself.

The game wasn't for me, refunded a few minutes before the two hours mark. I can see the appeal, but not my cup of tea. Thanks for the answers though. :)

No worries man. At least you gave it a try.

have fun it whatever game you choose next.

Have a good one

Tripod and tents, plus 3006 Eckers.

You'll need the rifle to avoid chasing cripples all day, the tripod to get out of reach of danger in certain reserves, and the tent for store access in the field.

You won't need the tripod if you aren't getting DLC reserves. You don't have to worry about coyotes or black bears.

It's weird though... Like I feel like giving it another shot. O_o F... me. xD
