Siberia Spots for You!

[Drogowit]

COMRADES!
I am Drogowit, and I am here to show You Where to hunt for good monies, fame and stuff. Please note I am a newb in Call of the Wild and only had some experience in classic The Hunter, played many years ago. I came back to classic for 2 days then heard about this game and can't stop playing. Also please note that I managed to do all that You will find below with a starter rifle and occasionally I needed 375 magnum rewolwer.

So, Siberia!
What You can shoot there? From what I have seen,You have fancy musk deer with teeth, wild boar, moose, reindeer and bears. I am not sure if I have missed something. We will focus on deer, moose and bears in this case.


Grab a rifle, get an ATV (if none, either walk or get someone on multiplayer to place a tent close to some bases) and go in 2 directions. I advise to get a friend because the amount of animals You spot is a bit overwhelming for 1 person.

Your main target will be Bear. if You have better rifle, also consider moose and reindeer. What I have also done and what was efficient,when I hanged around with a friend we shot the same animal at the same time to provide extra punch. Works great with low powered rifles or if you are not sure where to shoot.

You want to go to the South East (if we talk bears), there is a house in between 2 lakes, approx. 600-800 meters away from each. this is your favorite spot. the one by the massive lake can also be ok but it's trickier to find bears there. This is the location that I prefer: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1174554042

Go at night.
Seriously. It makes you from my experience less visible, weather is usually great and at night in the SouthEast you see a lot of animals on the white puff all over the place.
You go to the above location and walk around the large open areas. I usually do noob thing and run around with binoculars on zoom until I spot something, then I start walking, then crouch-running (which is a great way to move around) and I look.

You will usually find packs of reindeers, some mooses, some deer and few bears in that area. Take a look at screen that I provided, on the west from the house I have killed 2 reindeers in the same spot, then I killed 1 bear and then the other. 4 Shots, 3 of them from same location. I lost one deer as I made a bad shot from +300m, so shame but i have to stick to 4 harvests.

Then You basically move around those areas where it is big and opened, avoid some trees between forests as they obstruct your vision a lot. I prefer some of the forests located close to the biggest lake due to nice visibility.

Tip: On that part of the map (not sure about rest) there is occasional strong wind. it enables You to move very silently when crouching, and sometimes when walking. Use it to your advantage. Please note that when You walk in open areas, animals will see you and run from around 200-250m. Just take it slowly, especially so You dont startle them with noise. Running noise can scare animals from +250m.

I forgot important tips.
When shooting a bear alone, remember that it can and will charge you on some occasions. There is a pattern to limit this behavior when shooting it. First of all, if it is sideways, try to aim for the lungs. .243 rifle managed to kill a Bear in 1 shot on few occassions. If unable to, You can try with the lower spine and with brain. Bear has a thick skull and it is a bit tricky to hit it due to fat layer. You may need to discharge more than 5 rounds quickly with bad rifle and poor luck. I saved my butt sometimes with .357 pistol, works wonders.

When a bear charges you after your first shot or if it is fleeing, I do follow up shoots but not instantly. When you hit any animal, it makes that jerk move. Let it run for a tiny moment after that (and hope you dont miss) and shoot it again. Jerk move will mess up Bears logics and it may refrain from charging you. It definitely gives you time as it can stop and jerk like that for many times, making 5 second charge into a 10 second one. Matter of life and death.

If You find a bear standing up, do not do for the head but rather aim for the fron/back lungs or stomach. it is quite weak on the belly and I put it to sleep with some struggle with a single .243 shot basic bullet.

Sorry guys I have dementia apparently.

Go to Your game settings (escape, system, game,) then change Field of View (3rd setting). Max is 130 but makes the game look like alien vs predator. It gives You a lot of angle of view. If You want to see Front as closer, just face down so top of your screen shows what is in front of you. Standard is i think 80. I run at 100 and am very happy that way. It helps to see more.

Also when scanning the fields, make sure you zoom in your binoculars at least by a bit. Animals often do not appear visible and i havent yet found a way to counter that.

By the way: I have found a mammoth's tusk as a collectable but not sure whereabouts exactly now, i think it was south from both lakes. :)

*Bump* just so you guys are aware

How long did it take you to type this?

[Drogowit]

i was writing on the go, around 5-10 min with Edits. Also note that i made a guide from that: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1174564890

[JAKKALS]

It's pretty sad if you put in all this effort in a guide and no one really cares. I know you meant well

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

Drogowit just ignore the troll. I for one found it interesting even if I can't hunt there yet is on my list once I get the map but have to build up again as he a big ticket expense I had to get so have to rebuild some finances then I will for sure be getting that and an ATV!!

And Jakkals if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything geesh!

Thanks

The Last Frontier,

Budget wise if You want to focus on multiplayer experience (I still recommend single) - You don't need map dlc as you can still play as a guest on someone's server map.

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

forgive me as still new to the game. So I assume lets say you were running a server map I can log in on your server and play the map even without downloading it myself?

Secondly do you have to be teamed with people when playing as my computer handles the game very poorly is sort of on the slow side especially running and walking. So until I can get a new computer most likely I will just have to use my ATV to get anywhere as running takes forever and I would not want to hold up a hunting party if I had to play with others on someone elses server.

Frontier,
From my knowledge if I have DLCs and You do not, it is like in Europa Universalis, hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings 2 - If I have all DLCs and am host, You "borrow" my DLCs to play with me.

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

Actually just testing it now as I did not know until reading your above post. Just found a map and running it now and can hunt freely don't have to be with the guy at all as he's hunting his area and me in mine though not having much luck yet HA HA
