Explore Peru through 60 new story missions, including the mission-exclusive Old Scar Jaguar. The Notice Board allows to choose how you want to spend your time in Intisuyu, whether it’s by hunting, exploration, or volunteering at the Animal Sanctuary. Peru also comes with a new crossbow, the Dahler Reverse Draw CB-150. Full animal roster ( * = new ): South American Tapir*, Ocelot*, Greater Grison*, Western Mountain Coati*, Vicuña*, Capybara*, Spectacled Bear*, Jaguar* (with new Great One!), Black Caiman*, Taruca*, Whitetail Deer, Cinnamon Teal, Collared Peccary, and Puma. --- ##### Mountain Goat Truracs All Mountain Goat horn have been completely redone. _* No populations were harmed in the remastering of these horns. All existing animals on your reserve will shed their horns to grow new ones instead. _ ** _Known issue: existing Mountain Goats on your map will display difficulty levels that are higher than they used to be. Do not fret, because the displayed difficulty has no effect on the animal’s rack, trophy score, or medal potential._ ## --- ##### Adjustments - _Bengal Tigers_ will be more clever when in danger of being spotted, making for a more roarsome experience on Nepal. - Your dog should act more natural around water. - _Game Feeders_ should attract animals like they did before the previous patch. Boars had peace for long enough. - _Tent_ placement has been adjusted, allowing you to set up camp on slightly steeper inclines. - We optimized various different systems to reduce memory usage and increase stability across the board. The only thing you might notice is a smoother experience if you’re playing on something with limited memory. ## --- ##### Bug Fixes ##### Animals - Made _Grizzly Bear_ footprints look like they were made by paws rather than hooves. - _Hog Deer_ trophies will be categorized as having antlers, rather than horns. - _Brown Bear _skeletons have been reconnected in x-ray view. - Touched up the _Whitetail Deer’s _stomach, which was previously deforming unnaturally when in movement, creating shading and clipping issues. - Stopped the _Whitetail Deer_ elbow and shoulder bones from breaking unnaturally in movement. - Smoothed out the _Gray Fox_’s unintended belly dent that is visible in some poses, particularly as trophies. - The _Collared Peccary_’s spine has been reconnected to its rear and head areas on x-ray view in the harvest screen. - Fixed an issue where _Eurasian Woodcock_ trophies would change colors in the lodge depending on your graphics settings. - Did more eye surgery on the _European Badger_ and _Mountain Goat_, whose eyes weren’t pointing in the right directions. - _Bengal Tigers_ should correctly play call animations and sounds while walking. - Fixed an issue where one of the large _Moose_ TruRacs base models didn’t have variations. This fix adds the appropriate variations and recalculates the scores to match. Any pre-existing trophies using this antler model won’t have scores adjusted. Existing moose already on your maps may get new antlers. - Gave _Wolves_ more sense of direction. Previously they would frequently turn around, stop, and start unnaturally while fleeing within a pack. Hopefully now they find their way home. - Fixed an issue where _Snow Geese _would sometimes flicker between darker and lighter colors when flying. ##### Equipment - On _Tòrr nan Sithean_, we fixed an issue where some small, portable structures could be placed in invalid locations underground at _Caisteal an Eilein_. - The _Cassidy Combination Shotgun_ is now properly categorized as a shotgun when completing objectives which require use of shotguns. It’s a shotgun. - The _Carcass Feeder_ and _Mineral Lick_ will now play _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/518790/view/526504684363449806]_
