Who else is loving Australia?
My very first kangaroo harvest was a mythical! So far I have only met feral goats, red foxes and 'roos. I've only seen a little of the map so far after a few hours, but I like what I see so far. No bugs or anomalies as yet. I also like the new Layton cosmetic DLC, but don't appreciate having to pay in-game money to use something I just paid IRL money for. But the new camo wrap looks great on the .308 (AR-10).

Dam misfit a Mythical already wow congrads. I also love the map the skins and animal behaviors and story line I love It. EW should be very proud of the DLC I think they really stepped It up across the board ,I have only seen Goats and Kangaroos they look great In game and behaviors and sound of the goats sounds so real my daughter thought It was one of my neighbors goats out side lol she was laying In bed upstairs.. I have a surround sound 5.1 Yamaha receiver five speakers optical out on mother board makes this game come alive.

So far, so good, but I always enjoy exploring a new map, with new missions to complete :)

Did enjoy a fun and fully busy day in OZ. 30 harvested. 3 golds. 5 outposts open.
All on foot. The landscape is simply gorgeous. I rest now at Robert's sanctuary.
There I saw and heard what the "saltie" looks like. Quite a monster.

My favs till now were the Tundra and Africa.
The devs did put the bar much higher on this DLC! Worth every Euro cent.

Had to force myself to stop playing way into my evening.

Had a nice run in with a few crocodiles (class 7) (doing the Crocodile Hunter mission) - those things can move pretty fast and they bite! We need a Crocodile Dundee big knife LOL. The 300 Canning dispatches them nicely though.

I've seen the Banteng, and took a gold at about 75m with the 300 Canning.

I've opened up all but 2 lookouts, and most of the outposts, so it was fun exploring on the ATVs for that. I was able to complete the main story arc missions already, lots of side missions - I hope they are endless.

Liking the map a lot. Harvested goats, roos, fox, pigs, , a rusa stag, a red stag and a Banteng bull. Saw another massive red stag hurriedly departing into the sunset.
(Had to take the Banteng with the 303, all I was carrying, and shot him in the back of the head. So wrong weapon and a ruined trophy. Bugger.
Then to further foul the water I left the game without confirming the kill.)

The Map has a great feel about it and the different environmental presentations flow into each other very convincingly. Personally think this is one of the best maps they have made so far.
But of course as a kiwi I cant allow it to be said the bloody Aussie map is better than the New Zealand one.
So First among equals I reckon.
Looking forward to hearing what a dinkum Aussie Hunter has to say about it.

Disappointed by the lack of drop bears. Though maybe that would have scared away a lot of players.

I'm loving it , I'm Australian and have traveller around the country a fair bit and I'm recognising areas on the map that look like places I've been to!
Map size feels huge and it's not just setting up near water anymore you do have to go looking for animals.
I do have one little nitpick and thats in the dry scrubby regions like where you start there's galah's or cockatoos screeching in the background but it needs crows and magpies aswell to really make it right.

In my first day I bagged 12 different species. Game is plentiful, and the scenery is awesome! This may turn out to be one of my very favorite maps.

My homeland and I must congregate the team for pulling this off ! darn shame smell a game isn't a thing ! as it would be cool to smell the gums + other stuff

Got my first crocodile. Huge. And it was a Gold! See my screenshots. Happy hunter.

Played it yesterday for a few hours. Loved it. Lots of high ranked animals. Got a few mythical red deer, a bunch of other deer species, and took 3 Crocs and my friend got a few as well. Very nice dlc

Really enjoying the Aus map. Being a local I can confirm that is how kangaroos look when they are moving about. Great effort by the developers as usual with this game and DLC so cheap!
