theHunter: Call of the Wild - Patch 9.1 (Arriving April 14) and Multi‑Class Weapon Pack (Game News)

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.


Quick tips for players after the patch


  • Take another look at your maps

    Some Fallow Deer might sport new fur types after the update, so it’s worth revisiting your favorite spots if you’re after rare pelts.

  • Give the combo shotgun a try

    The Cassidy Combination is a handy all-in-one option for hunts involving different animal classes.

  • Check out the new antlers

    Run TruRacs to collect the latest moose antler designs if you’re aiming to diversify your trophies.

  • Mind your item placement

    The new guardrails stop icons from overlapping, so spread out your camp gear to avoid placement issues.


Final Takeaway


Patch 9.1 brings a solid blend of new paid content and free updates that open up more hunting possibilities while fixing long-standing bugs and visual glitches. Whether you’re tracking down the rare Roe Deer Great One, trying out the Multi-Class Weapon Pack, or just enjoying a smoother game experience, there’s plenty here for hunters to explore and enjoy.

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...

Letter Lost: Postmarked Secrets - A cozy post office that hides rules and a deeper mystery. (Demo Preview)

Letter Lost drops you into the Kharnym Isle Post Office as its sole employee, tasked with the deceptively simple work of stamping, sorting, and dispatching the island’s mail. On the surface it’s a cozy workplace sim; polite locals, daily pay, and mandatory room and board that removes the hassle of commuting, but the office’s cheery routine is threaded with odd rules and quiet contradictions that quickly make the ordinary feel off‑kilter. What begins as a satisfying loop of weighing parcels and matching stamps soon becomes a game of attention: letters hide hints, patrons’ small talk slips into unsettling confessions, and management’s insistence that you never leave the premises reads less like policy and more like a warning. The demo covers your first four days on the job, teaching the systems while nudging you toward choices, obey protocol and keep the peace, or pry at the seams and uncover the post office’s darker purpose. Either way, those first shifts are a careful, uncanny invitat...
