New Content

W1897 Shotgun has been added.

  • The new shotgun uses 10ga buckshot and 10ga birdshot ammunition.

  • With 10ga shotgun shells, you can take down animals up to B+ rank, and at very close range, even an A-rank Moose!

  • The W1897 packs serious firepower, so to keep things balanced, reloading cannot be cancelled mid-animation.

  • No more worrying about wild boars charging straight at you!

Previous Shot Indicator has been added.

  • A new feature displays where your last shot landed.

  • The previous bullet's point of impact is shown as a red dot on screen.

  • This feature can be toggled ON/OFF in the options menu.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Aim sway is now significantly reduced on EASY difficulty.

  • The default crosshair has been changed to a white dot.

  • Fixed a bug where the trophy stand would float in mid-air inside the upgraded barn.

  • Fixed an issue where hit organ names would appear duplicated on the result screen.
