Patch 9.1 for theHunter: Call of the Wild arrives on April 14, introducing a new Multi-Class Weapon Pack along with a variety of improvements to the world, animals, equipment, and user interface. This update brings fresh gear for hunters, new cosmetic options for animals, and numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life tweaks to enhance gameplay across all reserves.
What’s in the Multi‑Class Weapon Pack (paid DLC)
For just $5.99, the Multi-Class Weapon Pack brings four versatile firearms that cover a wide range of animal classes, so you can pack lighter and switch up your approach on the go:
RICHARDSSON .500
A powerful straight-pull bolt action built for the biggest game (covers classes 8-9).
JONEROS .17HMR
A precise small-game rifle perfect for birds and tiny quarry (covers classes 1-2).
ALIS PRECISION SHOT .25-06
A dependable all-rounder for medium-sized game (covers classes 2-7).
CASSIDY COMBINATION SHOTGUN .22MAG
A break-action hybrid that works as both rifle and shotgun, letting you adapt instantly (covers classes 1-8).
These guns are great for hunters who want flexibility without lugging around a full arsenal, especially handy for solo trips or when you need to switch targets quickly!
New wildlife content and rare variants
Fallow Deer furs
Three new fur types (Acromelanistic, Erythristic, and Leucistic) have been introduced across all Fallow Deer populations. After the patch, you might notice some deer on your map sporting different fur patterns.
Moose antlers
There are 11 new moose antler designs available through the TruRacs system, and all existing antlers have been refreshed to offer more visual variety.
New Great One: Roe Deer
A legendary Roe Deer can now appear on Hirschefelden, Cuatro Colinas, or Tòrr nan Sithean. It comes in six unique fur variants (Kindledawn, Wildfire, Ghostveil, Moonmarked, Mistbound, Rustveil) with hundreds of TruRac combinations, making each sighting feel special.
These updates add excitement to tracking rare trophies and bring more visual diversity to the reserves.
Performance, fixes, and oddities (highlights)
Performance
• Reserves with large bodies of water have been optimized to improve water effects and physics, boosting framerate and overall stability.
Animal fixes and whimsical touches
• A playful fix brings back the missing “whimsy” modifier, so hunters can once again spot the mythical Haggis in Scotland.
• Badger models were cleaned up to fix some unintended anatomical quirks.
• The chances of spotting certain Wild Turkey plumage types have been tweaked to better match their rarity.
Equipment and gameplay
• Fixed an issue where players could get stuck under a Hanging Carcass Feeder.
• Prevented item icons from overlapping by stopping items from being placed too close together.
• Reverted a recent harvest menu change, so the overlapping menu bug is back for now while the team works on a better fix.
Multiplayer and stability
• Fixed an issue where animals would spawn too close to session hosts.
• Fixed a crash that happened when opening menus quickly after fast traveling.
Trophy and UI polish
• Fixed the rarity labels for Wild Turkey plumages in the Trophy Manager.
• Squashed trophy preview shader glitches and made sure starting weapons stay properly positioned in the Trophy Lodge.
• Addressed various UI text, scroll, and controller tooltip issues across different languages.
World fixes
• Removed an invisible wall near trees on Tòrr nan Sithean so players can stop wondering whether the map is haunted.
