FOXBANG: Immediately ceases all calls upon detecting a loud noise. This option is toggle-able.

This upgrade is available for free for all Ambusher Pack owners. You can grab it now for $4.99 on Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, PlayStation and Xbox

September Update: Patch Notes

Today, we also released a free patch adding reticle customization and various animal animation improvements for all players among multiple bug fixes. To swap a reticle go to your storage, choose a scope you want to change, and click the Customize button.

Now let’s dive into the details.

NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

All telescopic scopes can now have their reticles customized. Reticles from previously existing scopes are available to everyone to customize. Additional new reticles are available in the Scopes DLC package. Changing the scope’s crosshair will affect that particular scope when mounted on any weapon. Changing reticles costs 4500 Hunter Bucks.
Japanese and Simplified Chinese text localizations are now available in the Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game.
New or updated items will now be initially highlighted in the Store menu at the Cache to make it easier to find them.
POI icons have been adjusted to improve consistency and clarity.

We’ve removed the Picatinny Rail and Rear Sight from the Caversham 12 Gauge shotguns to improve sight picture and visibility when aiming with the bead sight.

Due to the implementation of new systems required to make reticles in scopes swappable, all weapons have had their accuracy at various zeroing ranges with their different scopes and sights reviewed and updated.
- Developer’s Notes: Hopefully, we’ve got everything, but please let us know if any of the guns aren’t as accurate as they used to be!
Some entertaining phrases will now appear in the bottom right corner of the screen during loading.
- Developer’s Notes: If you happen to find yourself in a scenario, where the game freezes during loading, please include the phrase that was on-screen when the issue occurred when reporting the issue.
We’ve comprehensively restructured how the game handles audio data to improve stability and consistency.
We’ve changed the colors used for players in Multiplayer to make it easier to differentiate between them.
Multiple animation improvements for several animals were added. They will now move more naturally. This change affects the following animals: Alligator, Moose, Bears, Cape Buffalo, European Rabbit, Raccoon, Wild Boar, all Deers, Cape Buffalo, Beceite Ibex, Puma, and Snow Leopard.
