The changes to the spine shots are simple if you want to get full quick kill on the elk is to go for a heart and single lung because it has the same expansion as the 30 30 and when flinter was trying to get full quick kill on the moose he went for the same shot and besides it’s simlar to the 270 ammo but I’m not sure if this works on the new scoring system so correct me if I’m wrong
i am not a beginner anymore, but it's still fun to watch these beginner videos :D and these are sooo much better than the series before, i love the improvement
I downloaded this after seeing a couple youtubers played it and it was on gamepass so i thought why not, after 2 plays playing it i was rather frustrated as i had only gotten around 10-15 kills over those couple days and played it for a decent amount of time each time anyway i thought stuff it ill watch a tips video and yours were the first to come up so i clicked on em and im SO happy i did over the others i seen even with more veiws but after watching a couple videos from you watching you how you play it really helped i ended up racking like 20ish more or less kills on the third day of play so for that i subbed and will definitely watch more of your videos!! Thankyou for the vids man so much help for new people to the game and dont know much about hunting
I started a new game on PS4. To those who don't know it already you just have to switch to another user and you can start a new save without deleting your old and you'll still have all your DLC's. :)
I really appreciate you making an updated series. I'm still pretty new but have been grinding my way up with the 243, just got the 270, and it's been hard to get quick deaths and therefore I've spent lots of time crashing around in brush looking for a dead moose where I could have been shooting. I'm getting better. Just jumping to the 270 has made a difference. I've spent enough time in to start looking at DLC, and you anticipated me and made recommendations here - thanks!
One thing I'd like to be explained is the distances at which animals spot you when you're in different stances. I'm pretty sure you've already explained this in an earlier video but can't remember which one.
level fifty player w/10 diamonds but these tutorials are still always full of good shoosting tips for all of us, and i'll be damned if i ever miss out on flinter content
I used the drilling from the get go. I shoot everything with it. Birdshot for birds/rabbits, slugs as backup for the rifle barrel or two shots at the ready for a big deer herd
Since it is a beginner series you might also want to touch on the DLC maps. If you are only going to buy 1 of them which one should you buy both at beginning and mid/end game. If you buy 1 right off the bat when you get the game which would be the best and why. Kind of like why you should buy weapon pack 2, some maps are just better than others.
Ahh, good point. I'll probably mainly give the advice to try them out in multiplayer first, as you don't need the own the dlc to do that, but could definitely make a recommendation
Do videos on need zones and all the things, missions and general game play. Watching Run and gun gets boring after awhile but Love watching your vids bud! Keep it up.
I do. and I can't really remember how to start with the .270 for free? I never got it for free. But who cares know really when I bought it all and closing in on half a million in game cash.
@@nor7onnex208 I think the free .270 was a community thing, at some point we had to get 100,000 harvests as a community or something and that unlocked the .270 Stradivarius... but why we get it for free I have no idea xD
Explain everything! I must know.. Also I think animals with Very Low bleed rates do have a chance to stop bleeding because there’s been a few times they just stop leaving blood trails and never die. It’s annoying as hell when it happens.
Hey flinter, I am a console player at level 45, and when the TRUpatch came out, the changes to zeroing confused me a little. I think not only would explaining the new zeroing help beginners, but also the players that have a little time in the game and haven’t adapted to the new changes. Keep up the good work!!!
Pr0 Mitch i don’t think so, for some reason when I equip the perk and activate it, it doesn’t let me change it between 75, 150 and 300 like before, it doesn’t show what distance I am shooting at. It may be a bug with my game though
I needed this video so bad that I completely didn't even see that very first deer standing right in front of me at the very beginning. I started on my own thinking " oh I got this shit". I managed to kill a fleeing rabbit with the shotgun during the beginning tutorial. I then spent literally 4 hours tracking animals only being able to scare them off or hit a bunch but either not killing them or not being able to find them.
is this different on pc than on ps4? I do not get the red when I shoot any animal, it will just show blood spots, and I have left about 3-4 animals shot and no clue where they went, also I have watched several of your videos, and as you just did on here 4 animals instantly, how the hell do you always see so many? I can play for 2 hours and only see 4 total
Just starting out and have a newbie question. I see how the animals glow through the scopes and binoculars, I can't seem to do this. Is this something you buy or a perk? Thanks for the great video! New sub alert!
Thank you so much! I was having a hard time with the game because they dont really explain what youre supposed to do for new players, so i was basically just spending hours walking around yrying to track animals id shot with that shitty first rifle you get cuz it barely does any damage at all and i started getting a little frustrated.
Flinter, you are pretty much the last the hunter youtuber, I remember when pratze, Ronmctube, BillyTheCrayon, Hoocairs, and JoshDshot were popular on covering the whole aspect of classic maybe you should try to reach out to these guys and se if you can get them back into the game.
Im a lvl 13 and was tryna hit those spine shots from your prev videos only to find out the patches have completly changed the game lol Hopfully this series helps me lvl up way faster lol. I still need to understand how animal behavior work and tracking lol
I would really like if you could do shot accuracy before and after zeroing perk. Someone on Reddit said it's bugged cause before you unlock the perk, it does not matter the distance you shoot at but after people unlock it, the game adjusts the aim to distance.
For some reason the 45-70 is a weapon class 2 but only the soft points give you full integrity on white tail (not sure about black tail) but not the hollow points lol
In my opinion the bows are good to buy as they are silent and with 600 grain arrows can kill buffalo and moose. The 16x scope is nice to have but its not a must have it just makes shots at over 150 meters easier. However if you have the 16x scope its easier to use iron sights at under 75 meters. You can quicly remove or equip the scope by pressing middle mouse button on PC.
mostly relevant. a lot has changed, and I will make an updated guide fairly soon, the biggest change really is that there is no more "quick kill" but there are harvest checks. the most important one is the "vital check" you still need a vital hit, but it doesnt matter how long it takes them to die. The others are "trophy organs" which basically means not to shoot the animals in the head. The idea there is you'd ruin the skull and therefore the antlers or whatever the animal is scored by. "Less than 2 shots" - self explanatory. and proper ammo - your ammo class is listed in your inventory on the ammo itself, and the animal classes are listed in the codex, as well as when you spot them or pick up their tracks
@@Flintergaming ah that all makes sense, thanks so much for replying, I'll see if I can get this poxy starter rifle to pierce some skin all I managed to kill so far is a springbok but it was gold at least. Your videos are amazing by the way, your commentary is very calm, only found you this week and watched a ton of your vids! Keep up the good work and thank you for replying, look forward to more guides!
The .270 Stradivarius is in your inventory from the beginning, because it has been a community gift in 2017, I think. Everybody who has participated in this event got it on PC. With a brand new account it shouldn't be there. :) Cheers!
The only animal I have seen let me get within 100 yards, without moving was the tutorial deer. Nothing since has stuck around if I budge. Deer are seeing me, and running away, at 600 yards. HAHAHAHA
Thanks, but I'm just not finding any animals!!! I'm surprised at all these videos for beginners where I can see them shooting several animals just like that. I sometimes see some in the distance and they just run away straight away. And I haven't seen any deer, apart from the first one that I shot during the very first session. I have a few kills but mostly, I can walk around the reserves for hours without seeing one single animal. It's so frustrating!! :( (PS. No, I'm not driving around with the ATV, I know it scares animals. I've even tried to move around crouched, but no luck. Plus it's so slow I die of boredom that way!!)
Ok... first thing.... The bar for how much noise your making, What does each little bar mean (white or red). How far can they hear you? And is each animal able to hear at different ranges. Like for instance, while running most of the time I can’t get within 200 meters of bison with out spooking the whole heard or blue wildebeest that spook almost instantly from the slightest noise 300 meters or more away? Yet I can run up to within about 160 or so on whitetail.
There are definitely some species that seem to spook a bit further than others, but for the most part it's about 150m. That's with good wind, and both levels of the soft feet skill though
can you explain your love of the mosin? the ammo available in game has the same range, expansion, penetration and weapon class as the free ammo for the 243, and the stats on the gun have it as less accurate and heavier recoil than the 243, i want to love the gun in game, as it is one of my favorite guns IRL, and i own several of them, but the game seems to have sandbagged the gun. i dont own and have never fired a 243, but i do know that a 7.62x54 had just a little more pop than a 308
Can you make two guides? 1.) Archery. Basics, ballistics, arrow types, prey to hunt-not-hunt with the bow/arrow type, range of engagement, getting to said engagement range without being detected, etc. 2.) How to track. Determining fresh/old tracks, pursuing the target post spook, finding your prey post shot, determining if following the trail is worth it pre/post shot, perks, calling off the pursuit, etc.
Is the directional audio a bit wonky in this game or is there even directional audio? Im playing on xbox and my first time out I stalked up Close on three animals 3 diffrent times in the brush, a bear a doe and a coyote but every time i get that close i can't tell wich way the sound is coming from and cant get a shot cuz they see me spinning like a top in the tall grass trying to figure out if its behind or in front of me.
The mosin has slightly better damage and it has great accuracy compared to the 270. However what really makes the mosin great is that the mosin gives integrity on more animals.
The changes to the spine shots are simple if you want to get full quick kill on the elk is to go for a heart and single lung because it has the same expansion as the 30 30 and when flinter was trying to get full quick kill on the moose he went for the same shot and besides it’s simlar to the 270 ammo but I’m not sure if this works on the new scoring system so correct me if I’m wrong
You and Zaggi should do a scavenger hunt to see who can get certain animals the fastest
People need to like this comment so he realise people want it
Marc Thornton yeah! That sounds cool!
Ya ya ya all I ever wanted was a roly roly
Wish I saw this before your original series. I’ve been trying to get spine shots for two weeks 😂
same
As a newer player just running around figuring it out this is really going to help me. Thank you!
i am not a beginner anymore, but it's still fun to watch these beginner videos :D and these are sooo much better than the series before, i love the improvement
The explanation videos would be very helpful; soft points vs polymer tip, need zones, hunting pressure. Thanks for the videos and congrats on 100K
I downloaded this after seeing a couple youtubers played it and it was on gamepass so i thought why not, after 2 plays playing it i was rather frustrated as i had only gotten around 10-15 kills over those couple days and played it for a decent amount of time each time anyway i thought stuff it ill watch a tips video and yours were the first to come up so i clicked on em and im SO happy i did over the others i seen even with more veiws but after watching a couple videos from you watching you how you play it really helped i ended up racking like 20ish more or less kills on the third day of play so for that i subbed and will definitely watch more of your videos!! Thankyou for the vids man so much help for new people to the game and dont know much about hunting
I got the 270 as well to start on console
Same
Kosa I got it when I restarted like flinter did.
I started a new game on PS4. To those who don't know it already you just have to switch to another user and you can start a new save without deleting your old and you'll still have all your DLC's. :)
I really appreciate you making an updated series.

Very informative video man! Great job on that! Probably helped a ton of people!!😊
Hell yeah return of the begginer series PLUS updated. I've been waiting a long time for this!
Well done , looking forward to more . I’ve learned a lot about the game watching your previous videos
level fifty player w/10 diamonds but these tutorials are still always full of good shoosting tips for all of us, and i'll be damned if i ever miss out on flinter content
I used the drilling from the get go. I shoot everything with it. Birdshot for birds/rabbits, slugs as backup for the rifle barrel or two shots at the ready for a big deer herd
I haven't played this for AGES! Decided to give it another go, forgot everything, so I'll be checking out your vids, thanks. :)
Since it is a beginner series you might also want to touch on the DLC maps. If you are only going to buy 1 of them which one should you buy both at beginning and mid/end game. If you buy 1 right off the bat when you get the game which would be the best and why. Kind of like why you should buy weapon pack 2, some maps are just better than others.

Do videos on need zones and all the things, missions and general game play. Watching Run and gun gets boring after awhile but Love watching your vids bud! Keep it up.
Yeah that's really important! I agree on that!
Just saw this game was on sale. I don't usually play hunting games but this one looks really good. Watching the video and deciding if I'm buying it.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you posted this.
Nice job on 100K man! Your on your way to 1 mil!
What are the best hunting tactics should I just sit in one place or keep moving on the map to the checkpoints
Who else remembers when you had to buy the shotgun and pistol
Actually i did not even know that you do not longer have to buy it until now
I do. and I can't really remember how to start with the .270 for free? I never got it for free. But who cares know really when I bought it all and closing in on half a million in game cash.
I do
@@nor7onnex208 I think the free .270 was a community thing, at some point we had to get 100,000 harvests as a community or something and that unlocked the .270 Stradivarius... but why we get it for free I have no idea xD
@@Flintergaming Okay nice! Now I know.
Explain everything! I must know..
Also I think animals with Very Low bleed rates do have a chance to stop bleeding because there’s been a few times they just stop leaving blood trails and never die. It’s annoying as hell when it happens.
yeah I think very low can often survive, low should always kill eventually
Hey flinter, I am a console player at level 45, and when the TRUpatch came out, the changes to zeroing confused me a little. I think not only would explaining the new zeroing help beginners, but also the players that have a little time in the game and haven’t adapted to the new changes. Keep up the good work!!!
What do you mean by new zeroing . That’s still the same .
Isn’t it?
Pr0 Mitch i don’t think so, for some reason when I equip the perk and activate it, it doesn’t let me change it between 75, 150 and 300 like before, it doesn’t show what distance I am shooting at. It may be a bug with my game though
Thicc Papi my zeroing still works so I’m not sure

Nice. Need Zones, Animal behavior or predictability. Thanks!!
You get the Stradivarius on console as well, at least I did on Xbox.
I couldn’t imagine the mosian with polymer tip bullets man it’s already insane in every way but I’d like to see polymer tips added for it
The 270 is free for playstation too😊
is this different on pc than on ps4?

Someone on Reddit said it's bugged cause before you unlock the perk, it does not matter the distance you shoot at but after people unlock it, the game adjusts the aim to distance.
I just found this game! You are an incredible help, Thank you!
I wish xbox would let you start a new file without losing your old one
Lvl 60 and I still learned something
Same
Did you know: if you spawn on that area and you hear quacking that mean there's a possibility there ducks behind you or flying above you.
Hunter Cotw scavenger hunt started by hunter 4522
Great video keep up the great work
Absolutely love your videos
This vid helped alot actually... thanks!
Some animals for example bears and lions may survive low bleed shots
For some reason the 45-70 is a weapon class 2 but only the soft points give you full integrity on white tail (not sure about black tail) but not the hollow points lol
Yeah wee should write that in the weekly FAQ to EW on steam. They should change that imo
thebass1904 yea it’s dumb
Hey Flantro I've been playing the hunter for a while and in your professional opinion would you say that buying the bows or the 16 x scope is worth it
In my opinion the bows are good to buy as they are silent and with 600 grain arrows can kill buffalo and moose. The 16x scope is nice to have but its not a must have it just makes shots at over 150 meters easier. However if you have the 16x scope its easier to use iron sights at under 75 meters.

what actual zone would you recomment for starting on ?
Thank u I love this series
The only animal I have seen let me get within 100 yards, without moving was the tutorial deer. Nothing since has stuck around if I budge. Deer are seeing me, and running away, at 600 yards. HAHAHAHA
Check the wind, crouch, be sneaky
Can you do one on the weapon zeroing please
I have actually done that video, but I think I explained it poorly, so I'll try to make a more clear one
I started with a 270 as Well but im on ps4
The free 270 that you said was only on PC is on console two
Every single time you shoot an ad shows up
Please give about out man it would make my my day
Thanks, but I'm just not finding any animals!!! I'm surprised at all these videos for beginners where I can see them shooting several animals just like that. I sometimes see some in the distance and they just run away straight away. And I haven't seen any deer, apart from the first one that I shot during the very first session.

I think this guy was on the programming team or is a worker for the company that made the game.
Can you please explain which to upgrade first? Either skill or perks and why
Hi love your videos got the notification late
I just got this game and without this I would be so lost in the game
Yay now I can say I’m better than flinter
love the vid so helpful
hey flinter great vid, just wanted to point out that u can get the .270 on console for us controller players :)
Pls do a poly ammo vs soft point. Be nice to have a clear difference shown
Yo flinter I just shot a diamond albino moose!
Congrats
Put a Foto in the discord! Damn nice !!!
Love your videos
Well hello there Flinter
Waiting for the next video
Ok... first thing.... The bar for how much noise your making, What does each little bar mean (white or red). How far can they hear you? And is each animal able to hear at different ranges. Like for instance, while running most of the time I can’t get within 200 meters of bison with out spooking the whole heard or blue wildebeest that spook almost instantly from the slightest noise 300 meters or more away?

There are definitely some species that seem to spook a bit further than others, but for the most part it's about 150m. That's with good wind, and both levels of the soft feet skill though
If you have the 243 with soft point bullets shoot under the chin on the white spot.
can you explain your love of the mosin? the ammo available in game has the same range, expansion, penetration and weapon class as the free ammo for the 243, and the stats on the gun have it as less accurate and heavier recoil than the 243, i want to love the gun in game, as it is one of my favorite guns IRL, and i own several of them, but the game seems to have sandbagged the gun. i dont own and have never fired a 243, but i do know that a 7.62x54 had just a little more pop than a 308
The stats are either labeled incorrectly, or they are relative to the gun//something like that. The mosin is far better than the .243 in the field 😁
When I go hunting for Whitetail I find a lot of black tail
100k HYPE
Can you make two guides?
1.) Archery.
Basics, ballistics, arrow types, prey to hunt-not-hunt with the bow/arrow type, range of engagement, getting to said engagement range without being detected, etc.
2.) How to track.

What's the difference between the 2021 edition and the older one?
I can't kill crap with the 243 so I'm buying the weapon packs 😂
Love this
Says discord linked below - it's not there - does it not exist anymore!?
Now you start with the 270 on every system
You get the 270 first on Xbox too
If I buy the hyperion scope it will be good for all my guns in the future or I should change it to another?
Excellent video, I just got this game on game pass (free on xbox)
Because I spend hours searching for the deer I hit. To find out that it went only 10 meters away from me when I originally shot it.
Are u gonna start with the beginner series again
Why is the Mosin Nagant so good? What does it better than the .270 other than having one more round?
The mosin has slightly better damage and it has great accuracy compared to the 270. However what really makes the mosin great is that the mosin gives integrity on more animals.
Properly explain the bow and how they work please
Good one!
I'm so confused on my cotw it dont show as much guns as him to unlock like the 30.06 for instance
You start with the .270 on console just so u guys know.
So my cousins have this game and I drop a fallow dear with the starter weapon
good a new vid and info,
your a great youtuber
Are only doing this on Layton
Could u make a vid explaining the best guns for each animal on hirshfeldon for both dlc and non dlc players
we have done loadout videos, there's a playlist on the channel :)
