  • Slingshot is overkill. The level 1 Clayton Sportsman pistol with open sights takes these fragile birds.

  • That was possible before :-) The Plisskin Fang with open sights gave me just enough magnification on my Android tablet to find and hit the little sods. Now I don't even need to hit them. I think the effect of a projectile passing within a couple of feet scares them out of their feathers and they freeze to death. That's my…

  • I might not have expressed it in those words, but I agree with the sentiment. I (as Sheppeck commented) understand that it would have been difficult on a tiny screen. Now it takes longer to swap weapons than it does to complete the hunt; it used to be my favorite. I wonder why Glu didn't just add a few birds, rather than…

  • My bet is that we never find out where it is. It will be somewhere in asia, and it will have sunbears and probably javan rhinos. The name - like Glacial Bay - will give no geographic information, there will be no place on earth (outside of a zoo) that actually has the range of animals presented, and it will be fun!!! Can't…
  • Nothing wrong with that, it's a good number. How many hunts have you completed...or what is your average kills per hunt?
  • Interesting...when I was looking at the Android leaderboard it suddenly went crazy. It showed lots of duplicate placings, one with a silly number and one that seemed reasonable. I had been trying to decide what a sensible relationship might be between the number of hunts and the number of kills. I currently have74118 kills…
  • Yeah...it arrived at 5.30 this morning. What bothers me is that I know that. Finished by 6.30...must get a life...maybe later :-)

  • I've been playing for a while, I just don't comment much. It's hard to make money by giving stuff away, so Glu try to encourage you to spend money.Isn't that the great american way? If you want it, pay for it. Glu has made exactly $7.99 out of me (I weakened..OK?), and in exchange I've had hours of fun. Sure, it's easier…
  • I've got a message telling me it's there...but it isn't. Can you imagine my sadness at being second place to South africa :-P

  • Alas, not yet in New Zealand :-(

  • Gluadmin seems to have removed blatant cheats (yay!!) from the total kills. I'm on 72779 on Android...no club hunts but still lots of fun.
  • Whatever you do it gets boring eventually, so maybe try for a change of pace. Use one of the bows, then many of the bears, hyenas, lions, wolves etc (at the right level) are on for that neck shot. Because of the 'suppression' you get the time to wait for a good shot. I found it a nice change from the running animals.
  • It works just fine in Region 10. The animals need a double hit or head/heart/lung shots. Given the unhurried reloading speed of our hunter, it's best to let attacking wolves and bears get REALLY close so the heart/lungs are highlighted...but don't miss :-) It seems a little more powerful that its specs suggest.
  • Have you checked that you are running the latest updated version. Sometimes the updates are not automatic, you need to download manually. It's worth a look, that's what I had to do.
  • The Huntsman upgrades to 99.2 stability. Ammo, stock, barrel and so on will all (sometimes) add stability. Max the thing out and happy hunting :-)
  • Had the same issue (on Android) and find it annoying. Especially as all the weapons (even bows) look the same through the add on sights. I've kept the region 10 Plisskin Fang pistol with open sight...they're not too bad...and it's fun. I'd love to get the Headsman Elite back to open sights and a rifle...So, I'm with Timber…
  • the fun of doing them twice...and I bet you've still got the Hunter Bucks...good deal
  • Yes, it just happened to me. Around hunt 22 on level 9. I completed the hunt and then magic...disappearing zombies/pistol hunts. I've submitted a ticket...sometimes they're good and sometimes it's like talking to yourself, we'll see. Did you get asked for/offered a Headsman of any sort? I've already got the Headsman but…
  • I agree biggamepisal, the latest move by Glu is a game changer really. I think that at least partly it was needed to stop the silly inflation of Hunter bucks. The levels had rewards that actually stopped play on lower levels. Now with the bounties (genius) and the new currency, Glu have regained control AND improved the…
  • I'm hoping to get another chance at the Headsman Elite. Missed out (no gold) the first time, but even the Headsman is a fun shotgun at the lower levels. Well done again Glu. The game just keeps getting better. Just don't make the weapons look too stupid...thinking Pilgrim, Snow Plough etc...It puts me off buying them.
  • I use it on the region 9 jackals all the time...actually adds a bit of excitement to the whole thing. But, you need to let them get close, and then hit them directly. Time your shots, hit them dead on...they go down.
  • It is kinda fun using the Pachyderm in Region 6. Everything is in range. Region 7 hyenas will take 2 hits just standing there...and then they'll attack...4 of them can get a little busy. Still better than moose.
  • The Pachyderm doesn't seem to have the knockdown you'd expect for the power it's supposed to have, even maxxed out. Region 9 jackals and gazelle are still wearing kevlar and usually take a couple of shots to nail. Elephant and Rhinos are easier, but you have less range than the Barricade. Fun on quails and geese and…
  • Exactly. Also you only get one shot for your two energy bars. I'd rather shoot quail and gazelle and eland (but not moose...I'm seriously overdosed on moose) and have a bit of fun.
  • I haven't seen a pop-up with the gun on yet. However the name Pachyderm, and the description you've given make it sound quite different from a shotgun. I saw on another thread that it was listed as a rifle not a shotgun as well. In the old 'white hunter' days there was a thing called a double rifle. Looked similar to a…
  • I'm not sure what it is that people expect. This is a very playable free game. Yes, it has been designed to encourage you to spend real money...I think it's called freemium. Because I enjoy the game, I play the game. All the normal levels are playable without spending money, real or glu gold. Because I also read the…
  • It's easier than you think. Shoot one wolf (actually you could just shoot a tree...but might as well take the wolf) with a brain shot. Swap to your shotgun and wait. The remaining wolves will attack you, and as they jump you will get your chance at a brain shot.
  • It's a very playable game without spending money, although the temptation arises sometimes. As WmC points out, patience is the key; that and being VERY reluctant to spend gold coins...they are very slow to accumulate into useful quantities, use them only for weapons you need to continue.
  • Already tried to reply...but automatically logged out...that pisses me off. I've had pumas once in the trophy hunts and catamount once in the hunting series...that's it for the puddy tats. Apart from that, mostly moose...chocolate moose, strawberry moose, ignoramoose, hippopotamoose, and endless series of bl**dy moose…
  • Try the bolt action rifle and an energy drink. You may need to play it a few times to get the moose close together. Infrared the first one, turn it off before you fire and then aim 'freehand' for the lungs on the other two. The infrared just confuses things.
