.270 Makes Life Easier | Beginner Series

[@gymrat2883]

They need to fix the noise generated by walking in this game. Way too high for just a normal walk pace. Should be much less in the rain as well and it isnt

[@LykanVarion]

I feel that too, especially with how damn slow the crouching is, the distances are not small so should seriously work on some speed...

[@ignacychudzicki8730]

its some kind of asmr xD

[@pingchen5291]

Yes, I imagined that rain should make you more stealthy...?

rain does actually impact the sound

I live in a small town with woods close by. When i'm out there the deer only here me if i talk or run, until i'm very close, about 20-40m before they run. So yes I agree.

The point about not comparing our gameplay against the highlights being shown here is important. It's a relief to hear that you also wander out there, hear the calls, but don't always see the animals. You also made me realize I get tunnel vision on the animal I'm tracking (for far too long sometimes due to accidentally pushing) and waste time instead of moving on to a better opportunity elsewhere, near a need zone.

[@kellycamp8333]

But also mostly outdated since they reworked the scoring system and rebalanced weapons back in 2020 or 2021. Quick kill and consecutive harvests are now completely irrelevant to the trophy rating and only ad a bit of a bonus to the xp and money you get on a harvest.

Flinter, why do you never take neck shots on animals facing you directly or directly opposite of you. I personally find it easier than broadside spine shots and even with .243 soft point bullets you can immediately down large game.

[@Flintergaming]

Usually it's just riskier, animals can move their heads and dodge it, if you hit too high and catch the jaw a lot of times there isn't enough penetration to get to the neck. I do it though, I think it was last vid in the beginner series on a fleeing doe

[@BrandonMcCrackan]

The one thing I don't like about this game is how the game mechanics lead you to use spine shots for quick kills, which is kinda unethical in real life. It wouldn't instantly kill an animal but only make is flop around with its front legs on the ground.

So when to use polymer tips and when softs? If I aim for lung and penetration isnt that good that it goes for both lungs so would that be better to get both lungs with polymer tips even if that expansion isnt that good?

[@seanmoynahan6587]

Hey I was looking for some help! I just downloaded the game played about 6 hours and I’ve probably only seen a dozen animals no matter how slow I go

[@Tigerbear62]

As a beginner, just shoot everything you see. Look for warning calls and then start being cautious with your binoculars out. Once you see the animal(s) spot them, and take your shot. Spine shots aren't as effective anymore, so maybe go for the lungs or heart. Keep grinding out animals and you can start getting better ammo and weapons, and that is where this game gets really fun!

[@01LuvDan]

Yea, that's very normal when you are beginner for this game. You need to hang on to it, I almost gave it up when I was your situation. No one said you can't run, if you ran, animals might be scared and they warmed you. Follow the warm sound you will find footprints, or you stay right here to wait them to show up, something like that leads you to animal. Be calm when you saw the animals, there's always another one, so don't be upset if you missed one. when you got the money, just buy good rifle, you will earn more no matter how much you spend. Oh, learn how to chase blood, that is very important for this game, unless you had very good gun skills, most of the animals you shot wouldn't be dead for just one shot, you need to find them by chasing the blood
