u/everyone

Hunters, we’ve got another update ready for you! Alongside a bunch of fixes and improvements, this one brings a couple of highly requested features to Way of the Hunter 2. And one of them is a big one we’ve been looking forward to sharing with you for a long time. Update 1.3 for Way of the Hunter 2 is now live on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It brings two highly requested features, along with a bunch of fixes and improvements.

Non-Typical Mule Deer Trophies Are Here!

You asked for them, and now they’re finally here! Non-typical trophies have made their way into Way of the Hunter 2, bringing a new layer of variety and excitement to your hunting adventures. Unlike typical trophies, non-typical animals can grow unusual antlers with extra points, irregular shapes, or other distinctive features. These rare finds stand out from the crowd, making every encounter a little more unpredictable and every successful hunt potentially even more memorable. You never know when an extraordinary animal might cross your path! 

For now, non-typical trophies have been introduced for the Mule Deer. But this is just the beginning. As development continues, we plan to introduce non-typical trophies for more animal species, giving you even more unique animals to discover and harvest. So keep your eyes open out there. You never know what might be hiding in the wilderness! 

Make the HUD Your Own

Another highly requested feature is finally here: HUD customization options. You can now find these options in the game settings, where you can toggle individual HUD elements on or off to tailor your experience to your liking.  Want to switch off as much of the interface as possible and fully immerse yourself in the wilderness? Go for it. Prefer to keep useful information close at hand while tracking your next trophy? You can do that, too. 

Whether you prefer a more immersive hunting experience or having all the essential information readily available, the choice is yours. 

Fixes & Improvements

As always, we’ve also been working through the bugs and issues reported by the community, with a particular focus on UI-related problems. One of the most important fixes addresses the issue of taxidermies disappearing from dioramas. We know how much time and effort you put into collecting your trophies and displaying them in your lodges, so we understand how frustrating this issue has been. 

For those of you who have already been affected, we’re working to recover your missing taxidermies as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience while we work on this. Your feedback continues to help us identify the issues that matter most, so thank you for sharing your reports with us. We’re keeping up the pace with updates even after release, and there’s plenty more on the horizon.
