Emerald Coast Australia & Outback Update Is Out Now!

June 20, 2023


G’day Hunters, 

Emerald Coast Australia and the accompanying free Outback Update, as well as the Layton Lake Cosmetic Pack, is available now on all platforms!

Let’s take a look at what you can expect jumping into the new map. 

A New Hunting Destination

Emerald Coast is set on the east coast of Australia, and features breathtaking landscapes as well as diverse flora and fauna. Hunt in the outback, explore the subtropical bushlands, and make new friends as you work to protect the region’s fragile ecosystem through side and story missions.

On the Emerald Coast, there are many different animal species that you can hunt. Watch out for the aggressive Saltwater Crocodile near waterways, carefully observe a herd of Javan Rusa Deer, or go toe-to-toe with a legendary boxer: the Eastern Grey Kangaroo. 

Players who purchase Emerald Coast will also receive a brand new bolt-action rifle: the Zagan Varminter .22-250. Popular among Australian farmers, this lightweight and comfortable weapon is a strong choice for hunting class 2-4 animals.
