    Maybe not for hidden region 3. The other 2 bows for the hidden regions are labeled hidden region 1 and 2.

    Then new bow might be for a new event.

    I think I'll wait and see if it's needed and for a one time offer.

    Thinking about this some more, I realized the labels for the weapons don't mean much. Glu in the past has changed the labels for the weapons.

    OK, what am I missing? It's a region 6 bow and says "jump right into hidden region 2". But I don't see anything new in either place. Is the event not opened yet or do I have to buy the bow first to open it up?

    The image got cut off a little. It is hidden region 3. The bow says hidden region 6 on it. And hidden region 3 is not out yet. Probably be released in about 2 weeks. That's just a guess.

    I got the image pop up but didn't think of reading it lol, thanks for posting it. I just always found it strange that we had to complete the hidden region to get a bow for that particular hidden region, it really didn't make sense to me. Glad they decided to do this. Has anyone bought the bow yet? Curious if it can be upgraded with hunter bucks or is it just like the other bows needing gold or plats.....

    Are you sure it said region 3? I thought it stated "jump right into region 2"

    It did say Hidden Region 2.

    I'm pretty sure it said region 2 on mine. It only showed up once so can't be sure

    That must be a mistake by Glu. And I did think it said hidden region 3. Doesn't make sense it would say hidden region 2.

    It also has the same max power as the hawk, so why would we need it? Unless it can be upgraded with hunter bucks instead of platinum or gold would be my guess.

    The power level doesn't seem to match up to a region 3, so maybe there will be a new event in hidden region 2 coming soon!

    Something else that is odd, in the weapon store it says the Sterling Cloak in "standard 6". It doesn't mention "hidden". Strange.

    I really like the action of the bows. The Dixon and the Barton are like an assault rifle, and in my opinion not as much fun or challenging as the traditional bow. I look forward to using this new bow in whatever region or event they have for us!!!

    so I want to make a guess even though guesses are worthless and glu like to prove us wrong...

    maybe in order to unlock HR3 you need to do a series in R6 which unlocks a series in HR2 which finally unlocks HR3?

    otherwise I am stumped, and the mention of hidden region 2 was a mistake

    I have decided to wait on purchasing the Sterling Cloak bow. It doesn't make sense to purchase it now, especially since it will probably be cheaper later. And the stats are very similar to a bow I already own.

    Was wondering what the compound bow was like to hunt with compared to recurve bows and the x-bows?

    Sounds something like the "all around the houses" sort of route that Glu usually send us on!

    Here's what I think:
    Since HR1 used regions 3, 4, & 5 and you got the Grantham Tracker from R5, and HR2 used regions 6 & 7 and you got the Dixon Snare from R7, I believe HR3 will use regions 8 & 9 because that's been the pattern so far... So keep your eyes peeled for Rare Hunts in 8 & 9 and perhaps a new bow/crossbow for R9 because this Sterling Cloak is basically a "multi-region bow" since it combines the Westin Bullseye and Barton Hawk. I'm speculating if it could even be used for an event soon since it has been the only bow that you can't buy with Plats. Oh how I love Glu's guessing games!

    maybe it is just for new players to skip HR1 and jump into HR2. cause it probably meets requirements for the R6 hunts

    But why would you even want to skip hidden region 1? It's a key part of the game!

    I purchased Stirling cloak only to discover it's gold or plats to upgrade I didn't like the look of the gold shoebox gun and the hunter bucks rifle gets the job done on the hunts with pigskin rattler as back up

    More Plissken references, I wonder if this developer just really loves escape from N.Y or has a man crush on Kurt Russell? Another good action flick of his is "The Thing" lots of flamethrower usage in that movie! :)

    Seems the trophies were just Asian references. I remember I watched the movie red cliff twice, and it is always strange how different Versions have completely different English subtitles. Anyways yea, just Asian stuff haha.

    No, I was meaning the name of the new shotgun, "plissken rattler"! Like the plissken venom or plissken fang, plissken mamba!
