Tommy Ricci My very first one and only one was a level 3 mallard on a friend’s map so yeah, I wasn’t excited per say cause it wasn’t like it was a level 5 moose lol Edit: It took me ever since the game came out on console so that says a lot
I just got my first diamond today at level 8. It was a level-9 legendary diamond. I was stalking up to a small herd of white tail deer in Layton Lakes to take a young buck with my crossbow (tried getting into rage of 50 feet). As I was crawling within 60-70 feet of the buck, I changed my course to move around this small group of trees I was using as cover, and go around for the final distance to take my shot in cover. As I changed direction, that’s when I saw this black bear only about 70 feet away that was resting in my blind spot while I was stalking. When I spotted it, I get excited seeing that it was a level-9! That I didn’t even look at the weight. The best part is he was facing me so I had a clear shot to his cheap/vitals! Upon shooting him with my .270 and dropping him right away, I soon learned that he was also a diamond which blew my mind with excitement!twas a great day and I might never have another like it.
Flinter this series is truly amazing. I started a new account on playstation 4 and i am trying to keep up with you step for step and it's been very enjoyable. I've also learned quite a bit and it has truly helped with my experience with the game. I hope you keep this series going for a long time! Edit: Feedback: I'd love to see your hunter profile card along with the amount of harvest at the end of each video.
hella good tips and insight in this beginner series. downloaded this game about a month ago and wasn't sure about how to do certain things until I started watching this channel.
I put the game down for a few months and just came back. As I did I saw this series and it inspired me to do a restart. On my old save I had never found a diamond. On the restart I had a diamond on my 5th or 6th kill with a male blacktail. So it can happen very early on.
could you maybe make a vid of how the animal respawns work? and if animals you find in a session stay even if you leave the game? bc idk much about the spawns and such i just shoost them lol
My first diamond was a black tail in a black bear need zone. Saw it at about 250-300m. Walked to 175m. One shot with the .270 and my first diamond at level 6! Lol. Hiding by a lake for a while can usually be a good idea
Hey flinter, is the spine glitch still a thing? I’ve been hitting moose with the .270 poly tips in the thoracic spine behind the shoulder but they’re not dying. Also, how’s your actual deer season going?
Occasionally for grinding: ie shooting a bunch of the same species in hopes of getting rated or diamonds, I have a video coming out on that fairly soon
@Hassik Yes I agree. I would encourage them to focus on working out all the immersion-breaking bugs before adding a lot more content. They need to find and achieve a balance between bug fixes/performance issues and content addition.
@@supahhotnoodledapx1602 Classic literally just added in fucking Jeeps, and it's still playable, Call of the Wild adds in 1 species and the game breaks.
I agree the game gives default settings anyway and 9 times out of ten you can sneak within 150 yards of the animal your hunting so it's not a big deal plus it saves 2 points for elsewhere..
Scent elim doesn't really work properly, at least it used to be bugged, maybe it's fixed, but if used to be that if you moved, it stopped working, so I've just learned to not bother. As for zeroing, that's obviously a preference
I never use scent elim because I always move around anyway, and as far as I know, the scent is sprayed on the place that you are, and not the hunter itself. So you need to stay in one place for it to work properly. I see how it's useful when you lure in animals, but I almost always track and stalk.
I’m lvl 13 I have a shotgun the 243 and the 223 I’m at 16 thousand I’m saving up for the rifle that costs 24000 I forgot what it’s called or should save for the 7mm? Plz help flinter
Get the 7mm first. Then get a weapon from one of the other weapon classes. The 24k rifle I believe is the 30-30 whitlock, which is the lever-action version of the .243. In my opinion the 30-30 should be the last rifle you buy, because you don't really need it when you have the starting rifle. Also you will need a new scope for it. If you like lever-action rifles however, then go for it (or maybe the 45-70) when you have the money to spare.
@@Flintergaming I don't know how consistent it is, I haven't played much lately, but the last time i was in Hirschfelden, I killed a few foxes with birdshot and got full integrity on all.
Loving your new video series. I was always under the impression you need to be a high level to get Diamonds but you shot that theory down. I vote that you grind more, rather than buy the 223, Go for the shotgun. In my early level experience (I'm level 15) Ducks are great cannon fodder & so much fun to shoost.
Hello, I found your channel recently and just started playing yesterday, for some reason my shots aren’t registering, I loaded into the game and had a doe at like 15m and went for a lung shot and not even a blood trail to follow, and I’ve started over a few times and it’s the same thing repeatedly... any suggestions?
I just got my first diamond and had a black tail and a white tale that where one point below diamond and then I shot a male mallard and wasn’t paying attention when I was collecting my harvest and clicked out and wouldn’t have known if it whet for achievement
How do you drop them like that, i have to search for the animal i shot for ages every time almost. Unless im very very closse when shooting them, currently using the rifle from weapon pack 2.
How exactly does the level take part in whether something is diamond? I killed a mythical coyote last night and it was gold. I tried to find a rating for diamond coyotes, but couldn't find one. The coyote was: male, 24.77kg, 54 trophy rating and 911 score. I also had 100% quick kill/integrity/consecutive harvests.
Anyone feel free to answer this. I've been searching on forums and haven't found a clear answer. I'm curious about how the animal spawning works. More specifically, are there a finite number of animals generated in the map at the start of a game? Or are the animal numbers regenerated each time you load into the game?
I think that every time you kill one (current system) another will spawn, of the same species ofc, but i think they will also regenerate every time you load in.
I'm enjoying this series but every time I shoot a bison with the 7mm, it doesn't die and it kills me but trampling me. Are you sure the 7mm is powerful enough?
Dont run, just walk. And stop if you hear a call, then call it back and wait, then u probably can see it. Then just chill and wait a minute, if you hear nothing, just walk away. And try the fields in Hirschfelden I apologise for my English
Man, you make this game look so easy "oh I just killed 10grand worth of animals on my way over here." Meanwhile when I play this game, its a glorified walking simulator with the odd animal encounter
When you run around on the map you run into animals. When I run on the map. I get warning calls and spoke everything.
jack jon when you get a warning call go prone, warning calls dont mean animals spooking
Same
Billy Bob thx helpt me so much
jack jon happens to me I shot a moose with a 270 5times in the skull and 6 357 rounds to the gut

Beginners should be doing the missions also. You get a lot of cash from missions plus helps with skills.
they get done just by hunting, im a beginner so i know they usually just happen
The Raging Walrus yea I made 27k in mission not even realizing it😂
Thx I’ll take your advice
Only mission i aint doin is the layton lake ' Travel to roanchee church at night ' mission

I started playing about 5 days ago and just got my first Red Deer diamond. I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning.
Wow... of all the bison i’ve dropped, never a diamond! Grats and well done spotting that track. Luck of the Flint! 🍀
God, I need to get this game.
Did you get it
Korbyn Hoerner Yup.
@@nmysights0185 Do you like it?
Fratele Mitza Yeah. I put way too much time into it now.
Its free on pirate bay 😁
Okay... IT WAS A JOKE
You could use an atv right
They spook everything
Not when hunting bit they can be relly useful if u just want to get to an outpust or something
Get the .223 and go after the Fox! Love watching hunts of high-tier animals!
I fluked my first and only diamond so far, a Moose, with the.243 polymer tips, got him in the cervical vertebrae.
What’s the hype with diamonds?
Also are you doing story missions as well and not showing them or just avoiding them all together?
Glad some new videos for this. I have some hours but not as much as you.

Yes I played on Xbox1 last yr bought the 2019 edition for the PS4 I was a lvl 14 and shot a 997 Elk so it can happen early
I enjoy the diamond videos the most
So yea go for the diamond fox👍
Thanks Flinter I've learned so much from you.... I've killed 9 diamonds since I've started watching you👍😎
How did ya find one so quick? Great tips
I say it’s okay! If it’s a laptop you can have the beginner open and play your main on the main setup
could you maybe make a vid of how the animal respawns work? and if animals you find in a session stay even if you leave the game? bc idk much about the spawns and such i just shoost them lol

I killed a lvl 8 bear yesterday, I didn't know about the quick kill, consec, and ethical kill affecting diamond. Ended up shooting him x4 times =(
It may not of been a diamond level 9s are diamond

Tbh this series helped me out so much
Does having 3 instead of 1 in Spotting Knowledge actually make ZagTactics NOT work?
No
1. Scent Eliminator just use it.
2. Rifles seem to be zeroed at 150m anyway so the zeroing skill is kind of useless? For rifles anyway.
I agree the game gives default settings anyway and 9 times out of ten you can sneak within 150 yards of the animal your hunting so it's not a big deal plus it saves 2 points for elsewhere..
Scent elim doesn't really work properly, at least it used to be bugged, maybe it's fixed, but if used to be that if you moved, it stopped working, so I've just learned to not bother. As for zeroing, that's obviously a preference

@Hassik he's level 13, it takes a while to get it even if you do grind
.338 sucks. It only gets integrity for a couple animals. Go 7mm next
Get 338

good job flinter
my first kill was a gold boar and i got a heart shot on it
I’ve had this game since the beginning of last year and I can not find a cyote
They are only on Layton
Only on Layton, but they are a tough species to hunt.
Buy the .357 or a shotgun and go for the diamond fox. It'd be fun to see you try to get a diamond fox with hollow point bullets and iron sights ;)

Did you have a 270? You still could have pulled it off with a spine shot
Great tips as always, thanks for sharing
Do spine shots still work to drop animals

I used to find no animals and now I'm finding them everywhere it's awesome
I hat the leaf on the 7mm scope
what?

I started 2 months ago and have got a diamond Roosevelt elk a diamond white tail and multiple diamond mallard
How to make money: go to hirchfelden or Yukon valley and just literally just chase a pack of bison because they kinda slow
@Flinter Instead of the .223 I'd get the .357 to start working toward the .454.
