We have another small set of QoL improvements ready for you! It includes:
✅ In-game chat now supports Cyrillic characters. ✅ E-caller now has an outline once you click B (by default) button to make it easier to find :) ✅ A bug that sometimes allowed players to put any ammo into any weapon is fixed now. So there is no way to shoot an arrow using a shotgun anymore. Sorry to people that enjoyed that, but it was a bug, not a feature. ✅ Store descriptions have been updated for lodges and dogs to be clearer. ✅10-years anniversary jackets sometimes didn't award automatically, now fixed. ✅ All bugs for the recently added competitions found by players have been fixed too. Thanks for your help!
A few missions fixed: ✅ 'Specific Accuracy' (Traditional Bow missions) - description fixed ✅ 'Barely Seeing Red' (Red Kangaroo missions) - description fixed ✅ 'Preparing For The Feast' (Settler Creeks Travel missions) - weapons fixed to support all Compound Bows ✅ 'Payback' (Roe Deer missions) - description fixed ✅ 'Patient Zero' (Sambar Deer missions) - fixed the parameters to work properly according to its description ✅ 'Rock and Roll' (Rocky Mountain Elk missions) - weapons fixed to support all ethical rifles
As usual, let us know if you come across any problems with the fixes.
We'll be back soon with more, look forward to it!

Midsummer Event
Hello folks!
Midsummer. That time of the year where day and night are still being reasonable. Before you curse yourself for not owning blackout blinds because you get about half an hour of dusk before the sun's back out in full force. We decided it's best to have fun while we can, though.
Hunt down Puck$ through the event's mission and competitions and hunting Summer Deer around the EHR! Summer Deer means Deer that you harvest from the Summer-based reserves: Roosevelt Elk, Red Deer, Sambar Deer, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Blacktail Deer, Roe Deer, and Rusa Deer. No restrictions on gender.
Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The hunter with the most Puck$ at the end of June the 28th will win a generous first prize!
In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:
Please read on to familiarize yourself with the rules of the event.
CALENDAR
Event Duration: 7 days
Start: 22 June 2021 (Tuesday) - morning
End: 28 June 2021 (Monday) - 23.59 UTC
CAMPAIGN
The more Puck$ you collect, the more in-game prizes you are rewarded.
This is how the prize pool looks:
MISSION
This year's mission is called Summer Fun
General Major Petersen again. I think some new display trophies are in order if we want to impress the visiting V.I.Ps. Can you get me a nice range of animals from our Summer Reserves? On top of that, I'll give you extra points for any Summer Reserve Deer you shoot except Moose. Basically, I won't give a Puck$ if you shoot anything besides Roosevelt Elk, Red Deer, Sambar Deer, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Blacktail Deer, Roe Deer, or Rusa Deer.
The mission will last through the event's duration from the 22nd June to the 28th June.
Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:
COMPETITIONS
The event comes with three competitions each lasting 3 days!
Prizes for the competitions look like this:
Completing each competition in any place (just qualify!) will also award the hunter 100 Momosa$ points.
Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:
RULES
What would a game be without rules?
We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.
In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.
SALES
We've got some cool sales for this event in the Store, including a juicy discount on some Callers as well as 30% off a variety of weapons.
That's all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.
Enjoy all!

We've put together some serious QoL fixes for you in this release, most of them about the Competitions and competitive spirit theHunter Classic is famous for:
✅ The gm$ limit has been increased to 99 999 999 instead of 999 999. Believe it or not, Some players complained that they cannot earn more than a million. ✅ Locations mentioned in the WRR travel missions are shown as exclamation marks on the Hunter Mate now. ✅ Event missions become inactive once the event is over. ✅ Points for event competitions did not always apply automatically, fixed now. ✅ Score system has been slightly updated for animals scored purely by weight like ptarmigans and the rabbit family, and any animals scored by skull size to add more differentiation to the harvested animals and decrease the number of players sharing places in leaderboards. As a side effect, all scores now have 4 decimals. We understand that this is a small step away from realism, but hope it will increase the competitive aspect and eliminate dozens of similar scores in the leaderboards. Please note that all previous harvests will stay as is, but an extra zero will be added to the score there for consistency. Only new harvests will have the proper 4 decimals in the score, therefore we released it today together with a new season start.
A major update of competitions:
✅ All regular competitions were re-scheduled completely to keep the balance for the simultaneously running competitions (and another reason you'll find out soon :) ). ✅ All animal trophies are updated with brand new ones. ✅ Unpopular competitions largely replaced with the new ones in rotation. Let us know if you want more new comps in the regular rotation! ✅ Bugfixes (missing/incorrect ammo and weapons, missing info in description, etc). ✅ Updated headers (some animals missed it and used the generic one). All single animal comps now have pretty new headers for you to enjoy. ✅ The formatting of all competitions has been changed for better readability and consistency.
Unfortunately, this will cause a problem with translations - as any changed string becomes untranslated. We sincerely apologize for that (both to you and the translation teams)! We will catch up with any that are still untranslated as quickly as we can.
Well, that's it for now. Look forward to more from us soon!
Happy hunting!
Upcoming Community Event
Howdy Hunters! If you haven't seen it yet, there's an awesome summer event coming up. It starts on Friday 4th June and lasts 10 days. It's hosted by BCKidd on the Hunter Forum, and we highly recommend checking it out. Anyone who's played one of BC's comps before knows it's worth doing ;)
In a nutshell, there are 3 parts to the event that can be done in any order over the 10 days, but all hunts must be done after BC's starting announcement and before his ending one.
There will be 4 places and prizes totaling 10,000 em$.
So check your schedules and free up some time. And make sure you keep an eye on the sales, as we'll be making sure our intrepid hunters all have the opportunity to pick up any weapons or equipment they might need to compete.

Doc here, hunter. You look like you're at a loose end. Tell you what, bring me one female Feral Hog, one female Mule Deer, one female Whitetail Deer, and one female Bobcat shot at 100% Harvest Value. That'll keep you out of mischief.
