Best Weapons to Buy for Beginners | theHunter Classic 2018

[@thomasferris3750]

Edit replace 30r with 9.3x74r o/u

[@Flintergaming]

Yea pretty much :)

[@TDILMAN100]

9.3x74R was my first rifle. Now I have 10 rifles out of 17 necessesary for missions. Now my recommendation to all new players is 9.3x62 Anschultz. Must have as a first rifle.

[@illburyyou1day]

I didn't see this comment until I saw his 9.3x74R video....... so I bought 30R ..... =(

[@TDILMAN100]

@@illburyyou1day lol ok after purchasing all weapons now my recommendation is Scout rifle ))

[@justposi]

What is the diference ? And what scope would you buy with 9.3x74r o/u ?

[@JaxyBeard]

This is gold! Exactly what the new player needs. Unlike cotw this game needs alot of thought before you just start buying gear. Thank you for this Flinter. This will help alot of people

[@briarweir986]

JaxyBeard true

[@Flintergaming]

Thanks! Always wanted to do this video, and just never got to it :)

[@anonsidious358]

Definitely as in Cotw most of the stuff is earned through gameplay wheres as this one you are paying real money and it would really suck grabbing something and feeling less then satisfied

[@Scrubje]

Good job man, keep classic alive! :D

[@Flintergaming]

Doing my best haha

[@ShawnJohns]

Yes! Been waiting for a video like this for Classic. Well done my friend!

[@Flintergaming]

Thanks :D Hope it helped!

[@Krystian_964]

I just started playing this game, and I decided to get the Crossbow. It is really good. Thank you for helping me out, Flinter!

[@graysonabernot884]

Like 20 real dollars or in game

[@Krystian_964]

@@graysonabernot884 What do you mean?

[@anabominationofsightandsou7540]

The first gun I bought was the .405 lever action, which I quickly realized is only good for close-range situations due to the lack of a scope. However, the thing is a HOSS. It will drop a moose and even a water buffalo for a good range with a double lung and has a solid fire rate. Still, buy these first and only use the .405 if you want a good challenge edit: Also, this also has a 5-round magazine, tying it with the .45-70

[@alanwatts8239]

Although the 9.3x74R is a better choice for new players due to the range of animals you can harvest with it.

[@jamesnichols4514]

Ugh finally! I've been looking for a video like this one. I just got enough to smart making purchases with my gm's as a new player and all the items make it very intimidating to a noob! Thanks Flinter!

[@zellhaufen8583]

The .30R is indeed the only one I recommend. We compared on 175m targets - always aiming at the center - the .30R hits 10s dead on while 9.3x74 drops to 2s (Drilling). That's the reason why the animals dont die if you shoot over 150m, unless you aim 1/2m higher. Even the old Anschütz 9.3 - a horrible dog - performs better than 9.3x74. The .30R however - it drops practically anything no matter the distance because it goes straight like a pencil. In other words, the 30 O/U is the smart man's rifle, whereas plebs go for the highest caliber :)

[@Flintergaming]

Haha. I actually think I like the .30R better the more I've switched back and forth. The 9.3 has the versatility for sure, and a bit more power for the larger game, but both are good guns

[@BomberBabe94]

Personally, I love the .300, you can use it for most things and will often drop them. The 340 is also a new addition for me as I was having trouble with the Water Buffalo using both arrows and the buffalo rifle. I'd aim for lungs and only get body then spend hours tracking and shooting it again, and repeating. The 340 is a godsend for me. I also never go anywhere without the Parker Python bow, with it's rangefinder scope. I am horrible at field judging distance, and I don't have the best PC to play this on, so it lags a bit. The Parker saves me from having to quickly switch from the rangefinder to a weapon when shooting a trophy animal coming at me. I don't have the reverse draw crossbow, but the ten-point works great too.

[@Flintergaming]

excellent suggestions, all of those weapons are great!

[@alecsernett2163]

This is going to be a great tool for people getting into the game! I personally started off with the 7mm Bullpup because of its ability to ethically harvest anything from Coyotes to Banteng. I also got the .17hmr because it was on sale. I am trying to get my friend into Classic, and I am going to show him this guide to start him off in the game! Thank you for the great video!

[@nickrogers6441]

My son just created an account, he got the 7mm bullpup. It was on sale but the main reason is the weight. New players only get 10 units. This gun is 3 units, as a reference the .300 is 4 units. Next purchase is a bow. Then the callers as he explores the reserves.

[@alanwatts8239]

To be honest, i've never had any issues dropping bobcat and fox with the .17, most shots i take on fox are 200m+ shots and they always drop on the spot.

[@TRexHunterGaming10]

That’s because it now has the HV ammo. When Flinter made this video, it only had the other ammo. The ethical list was different then and the way it performed was also different. Now I’d say it’s the best small game rifle in the game.

[@minisoiso]

I think a good choice for a beginer is the 30-06 stutzen, because it can take the scope that comes with the .243 and it can kill the same animals as the 30R, the only problem is that the bullet doesn't penetrate as much.

[@Flintergaming]

thats true, I actually quite like the stutzen as well :D

[@nathan22outdoors92]

Adult the stutzen has a larger ethical species list, the 30R isn't allowed for coyote but it is allowed for roe deer. And stutzen is allowed for coyote-moose

[@RektdKiwi]

Great information bud will have to look at picking up the 45-70 and maybe the 17 HMR already have the crossbow and 30 R and your right worth every penny great weapons.Loving the content kkep up the awsome work :). Catch ya on the next hunt

[@briarweir986]

Yes

[@briarweir986]

Rekt'd Kiwi ee

[@Flintergaming]

Glad you are enjoying yourself with the game :) If you ever get into small game hunting that 17 wont disappoint. I know you the .50 Pistol so that covers the .45-70 species, tho of course the rifle has way more range

[@alluraambrose2978]

If you go for bobcat, just use the 243 as a beginner. for the rest i totally agree with this list. the starting shotgun is nice, but the 10ga is my fav shotty.

[@Flintergaming]

yea for sure, point of the 17 on the bobcat was to show that it is in fact viable on them, but the reason I recommend it is of course for the smaller creatures. And I agree, the 10 gauge is amazing :D

[@anonsidious358]

10ga many a duck and many a goose! Love that one for birds.

[@alanwatts8239]

It, however, has an 11 round mag and the spook circle after firing is massively smaller than the ones on the .243.

[@TRexHunterGaming10]

@@alanwatts8239 So true!

[@matthewhobbs7914]

Love your videos. Just got my first gaming pc yesterday and the first game installed was TheHunter Classic because of your videos. This video helps out a lot. Keep it up!

[@edingerale]

So i bought the 7mm and the 340 weatherby and the crossbow first and i have to say that i never had a problem with it so I think it's also a great combo

[@stuntmstr-thehunter3005]

Just a small correction about the 30R, it’s not ethical for coyote, I had a perfect 100% accuracy and kill ratio and lost it due to shooting a coyote

[@Flintergaming]

ahh, you're right, I just looked. Thats weird cuz I think it used to be!

[@stuntmstr-thehunter3005]

Flinter The Hunter Yes sir! When it got released it was, but due to forum complaints it’s not ethical anymore

[@andrewparis5765]

I bought the 30-06 bolt and when you get the range down it is a super fun gun to use

[@wigglez_55]

30 r or 7mm for rifle. Parker python or pulsar for bow. 10mm for pistol. 22lr and rev xbow is all I would recommend.

[@swickfilms]

I hate how expensive this stuff is :(

[@joshuahayes1368]

The carbon recurve is good once you learn how to shoot it

[@mrsbeard1172]

Another great video Flinter.

[@Flintergaming]

Thanks, Mrs B!

[@danapendry2833]

one thing I will say where do you go to buy weapons its not like the hunter where there is a mtal container so where do you go?

[@ZaggiDK]

Great idea to make a video like this!

[@Flintergaming]

Ahh, you know I was enjoying my favorite donut and boom, it just popped in my head

[@2egos]

i play since 1 january 2023, i shopped 1 week ago 2 times, 5500 em$, i bought a 300,340,a hat(idk why) tree stand, tent for birds,magpie long and short range caller, cal.20, moose caller, .223 semi automatic, is that good equipment??

[@Bulletbeam]

I wonder how much money you spend on Classic? I like it a lot, but the micro transactions are simply too much in the long run for me (waterbirding alone is insanely expensive).

[@garrettirwin8165]

I just wish I had a PC.....

[@eazyleegaming]

Incase you didnt know... the hunter classic now has a new business model, its totally free to play everything can be earned by playing now :)

[@alexmencel590]

I love the reverse draw crossbow. I was able to take out a whole herd of female elk with it

[@StiveGuy]

I have the tenpoint, a pulsar and .308 anshuts. I only don't really enjoy the tenpoint but mostly because I can't carry the crossbow and the rifle at the same time so I haven't really used it much.

[@Flintergaming]

are you not rocking the increased capacity? only 10 units total?

[@jcarver_08]

Wow I just bought the .30 R with the 12x50 scope and my gosh it is amazing!!!

[@S1343THC]

30R...smart choice, my favorite rifle in the game :)

[@Flintergaming]

Mine as well, its so good!

[@S1343THC]

Flinter The Hunter and wait until 9.3x74R will be released to the public. It will be like a better .30R

[@Epicgammer369]

As much as I love this game, I think some weapons weren’t thought through by the devs. I’ve been using the .308, and it feels like it’s a .22. Anything past 50 yards or so, just gets body hits (maybe it’s just bad luck for me)

[@alanwatts8239]

They realised the mistake and recently buffed them. .308's are now some of the best weapons for deer.

[@Lock_and_Load072]

The 7mm is an all around good gun

[@sgtgoober137]

I think if I played Classic before CotW, I might like it more. But could not focus as I do in Cotw.

[@helanderr7387]

I would replace the 30r with the 9.3x74r and i would also replace the 45-70 with the 340. weatherby.

[@foxxx2787]

Hey Flinter, im thinking about buying stuff for duck hunting, but i dont know if i need decoys for every duck species there is. I've heard that i only need 24 for max attractiveness.

[@Flintergaming]

Right, so 24 mallard decoys give max attractiveness on mallards and 50% on the other species, so you need 12 decoys for each of the other species (or 2 flapping wings decoys since they count as 6) I have a total of 42 floaters and 3 flappers for the maximum attractiveness on all species. 24 mallard, 6 pintail, 6 gadwall, 6 american black duck and 1 of each, pintail, gadwall, and AMD flapper

[@foxxx2787]

Okay thanks man, keep up the good work :)

Hello flinter hopefully I am not late lol but I just got the game a few days ago and 3 month membership to see if I like it and surely enough I loved it...I am planning to buy 2000 ems Should I buy a starter bundle or buy 2000 ems I am going to get a 20 dollar card

[@Flintergaming]

Startle bundle does give you some calls and weapons, which one are you looking to get?

[@Riyame]

It has been a while since I have played but back then everybody recommended the 7mm for the "1 gun" hunter. How does the 30R compare?

[@Flintergaming]

Much more powerful, but less animals on the ethical species list. I just learned earlier that it is not ethical for coyotes, so its actually roe deer - moose. the 7mm I think is coyote - Bison. But the .30 r has way more knockdown power!
