Just found two other things that bug me doing bounties was shooting loads of lynx with ar in Carpathian then checked in on no stars it's Caspian basin...and wolves heart shots when they attack it's mostly brain shots or lung shots!
I think the points you've raised are valid, things like transferring across weapons purchased in dh2014 would rob 2016 of any challenge removing any sense of achievement I feel dh 2016 needs to stand out as a separate game starting afresh
I'm glad dh2014 will continue well into 2015 and will continue to receive updates, be interested to see what dh 2016 brings to the table when it arrives to better dh 2014
This game had huge potential bigger guns bigger prey than dh2014 I'm surprised it's stalled like it has with no new content valley of the lost for region 11
