Real country
Every region is a real stretch of Australia, about 10 by 10 miles, rebuilt from real elevation data: the floodplain channels of the Mary River, the snow-gum ridges above the Howqua, the quartzite walls of the West MacDonnells and the gorges of Cape Range running down to Ningaloo Reef. The terrain, the waterways and the habitat each animal lives in all come from the real place.
What's in it
Ridges, gullies, floodplains and coastline taken from real terrain data, with water and habitat mapped across the whole region.
Water buffalo, banteng, sambar, red kangaroos, camels and a problem saltwater croc on land. Barramundi, giant trevally and tiger sharks in the water.
Every load has its own velocity, bullet weight and ballistic coefficient. Bullets drop, drift in the wind and lose energy, and shot placement on the vitals matters.
Take contracts from the bounty board at each camp. Clean, ethical kills with the right calibre pay the most, and harvesting the animal is what gets you paid.
Spend your bounty money on rifles, ammo, scopes, callers, camo and a ghillie suit. New gear opens up as your hunter rank climbs.
Find camps, ranger stations, lodges and boat ramps across each region. Once discovered, they're fast-travel points, shops and bounty boards.
The Top End ships with the game. The High Country, the Red Centre and Ningaloo download free inside the game when you unlock them.
Animals move most at first and last light. Keep the wind in your face, because game smells you from downwind and hears every footstep.
Spot and mark game with binoculars, range it, call it in with a grunt, roar or distress whistle, then follow blood and tracks after the shot.
Four regions
Start on the Mary River floodplains and earn your way south and west. Each region unlocks with your hunter rank and some of your bounty money.
Monsoon floodplains, paperbark swamps and the croc-filled tidal Mary River around Shady Camp. Water buffalo, feral pigs and big barramundi.
Steep alpine ash and snow-gum ridges above deep river valleys. Sambar stags, red and fallow deer, goats and foxes.
Red quartzite ranges, dry riverbeds and spinifex plains west of Alice Springs. Camels, donkeys, goats, red kangaroos and dingoes.
Limestone gorges drop to a turquoise fringing reef. Goats and foxes on the range, giant trevally, Spanish mackerel and tiger sharks offshore.
