I think I speak for most when I say I want things like hippo, rhino, elephant and leopards. But what other species would you want to see? Personally I want Guinea fowl and nile crocs. I’d also like zebra with maybe a very rare or GO variant of a quagga
Rhino I wouldn’t see, would feel kind of wrong considering there are missions on the 1 Africa map that revolve around the last rhino on the map and that it was poached at the end. I would just find it kind of weird if you can hunt rhinos on the new map when the other missions are about how rare they are and that you have to protect them.
With elephants, I’m not sure how they would fit into the current system with the different classes. Because I think they’re a bit too big for class 9 compared to the rest. You would have to introduce a new class with class 10 and I don’t know if that would be so easy. It would certainly be a bit of work to add a new class.
The animals I would like to see are zebra, greater kudu, eland, impala and ostrich. As for predators, I would personally find leopard and a hyena species very exciting.
I really like the idea of Guinea fowl. I would also add some kind of waterfowl I just don’t know which one. Small game hunting is always fun and without it I often find something missing on the map.
Honestly, a good idea would be to make a dlc that is higher priced and includes endangered species. All the proceeds from that purchase should go to WWF or something. As to my answer though, I would like to see maps to be a little larger, so we can include most of the missing species. Cheetah, leopard, hippo, giraffe, elephant, hyena and croc
I dont want rhino’s and elephants. Dont think i would enjoy hunting those two. Give me hippo’s, giraffe, zebra, ive seen pics of african eland that could be cool, leopards, cheetahs, hyena’s, ostrich, vultures and some small birds like revontulli
Greter kudu, njala, impala, caracal, blesbuck or tsessebe would be awesome
Hyenas would be great - like how wolves act but more in a pack
i’d be way more content if we could get horse mount and roleplay a country man, more than a tech freak.
Elephants, Cheetah, Nile crocs, Hippos, smaller game birds, giraffe, Zebra, Hyena, they could add things like Savannah monitor lizards (they grow quite large).
Regarding the elephants, although there are around 400,000 African elephants the number is still declining. They could turn that into a conservation mission of some sort.
Alternatively you could have a contract at the Outposts. It costs maybe 3000 to stalk and kill an elephant, the contract could state the money goes to conservation efforts, you only get weapon score as a reward and the elephant was deemed a problem animal. The trophy rating is random.
Edit: I’d also like to see baboons
I don’t want them to add critically endangered species like Elephants and Rhinos. If you go that route, you may as well add in Gorillas. These species are critically endangered and I have a fond attachment to these animals. I wouldn’t feel comfortable hunting these, even if they are just pixels on the screen. This game and developers have done a pretty decent job on balancing out hunting with conservation themes.
Before you start up on me about how there are already endangered species in the game, none of them are at very high risk of extinction as the moment.
The only way I would see this work out for hunting these animals is if they use “tranquilizer darts” and the trophy lodge is more akin to a living nature conservatory (some would call a zoo)
I’d like to see a central Africa jungle map instead of another Savannah. They can add some unique staff in it.
Class 10 animal: bush elephant. They shouldn’t be spooked by anything except gunfire, so it’ll be ok to look for them on fourwheeler, can only hunt one in a while, but you can only hunt one in a few in-game days.
Primate: colobus monkey, baboon and chimpanzee. Chimpanzee should be able to kill you.
Predator: African leopard, can ambush you from a tree.
Class 4, 5 animal: okapi and giant forest hog. Just reskin some already existed animals.
Predators: Leopard, hyenas, crocs, lions and wild dogs
Herbivores: Antilope, elephant, hippo(?), giraffe, rhino, and kudu
Reptiles: Chameleons and when you want to mount them you can change the color and a turtle would be nice
Also I really like the idea that the map would cost like 15 dollars and all the money (or at least the half of it) gets donated to WWF
Spotted hyena, leopard, hippo, giant eland, greater kudu, nyala and lechwe
Rhinos, elephants, Leopards, Hyenas, African wild dogs, hippos, Nile Crocodiles
I had been thinking about a new map, and settled on one based on Camaroon. Interesting terrain, far from the existing African map, new species like situnga, bongo, civet cats, duiker, Derby eland, kob and bushpigs. Possibly even baboon?
I don’t want another Africa.
Gemsbok,greater kudu,eland,elephant,lion,leopard, cape Buffalo, Forrest buffalo,bongo,zebra,African golden cat,gazelle. They could have a mountain and desert area like in ethiopia and the north,a forest region like in the eastern central area,swamp like the okavongo delta and of course savannah. They have so many options but if they are fine with tigers and snow leopard then leopards and elephant should be fine. Lack of Greater kudu was a massive miss to begin with as was eland. Africa has so many species it’s insane how africa just stands out from every other continent on earth.
Any animal that isn’t endangered and that we haven’t seen before. I wouldn’t feel good about shooting something that’s almost poached to extinction, nor do I want to start using a VPN after a public backlash, just to play a hunting sim*.
*Far left politicians here are crazy enough that them proposing a ban of the game after public backlash, wouldn’t be a surprise to me. And since the player base isn’t a massive one, getting the proposal through could happen.
Elephant, zebra, and rhino
Hippo and Hyena for sure
Sundarpatan could add Rhinos cause nepal do have em. But devs probably didn’t wanna spoil us too much
