When the Sun Sets, the Hunt Begins — Night Hunting Pack DLC is Available Now!
The Night Hunting Pack DLC includes a powerful set of digital optics designed to support stealth, visibility, and long-range accuracy during the darkest hunting conditions.

What’s in the Night Hunting Pack DLC:
Overgaard Night Hawk 4-16x Binoculars
Designed for serious hunters who demand reliable gear, these high-quality night vision binoculars feature a 4–16x magnification range. With crisp black-and-white night vision, they help you identify movement and terrain detail even in challenging light conditions.
Overgaard Night Stalker 5-15x Rifle Scope
An adaptable digital riflescope tailored for medium to long-range use. Built for precision in pitch-black environments, it delivers a clear visual with variable magnification. Its high-resolution sensor gives you the advantage when lining up shots during late-night hunts.
ZOOMXD Blackout-NV Collimator
A close-range digital collimator built for instinctive aiming and situational awareness in low-light scenarios. While compact and fast to deploy, it offers fixed magnification and a clean digital overlay. Ideal for close-quarters hunts where reaction time is critical.
ZOOMXD ShadowView 1-5x Crossbow Scope
Crafted for crossbow hunters, this scope excels in low-light conditions - from deep woods to the twilight edge. With a 25mm objective lens for precise targeting, it’s built to keep you accurate when visibility is at its worst.
Free for All Players: Update 1.27 Now Live!
Update 1.27 is now available for all players on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S - even if you don’t own the Night Hunting Pack DLC.
Overgaard Night Stalker 3-9x Rifle Scope
This free night vision scope is available to all players via in-game money from the in-game store. Lightweight, versatile, and perfect for entry-level night hunts.
Reworked HUD Customization
You asked, we delivered! The HUD system now features four global presets and complete control over individual elements:
Fully Visible: Everything is always on screen.
Dynamic: HUD elements appear during interactions and fade out after 4 seconds (with an exception to Tutorials and Mission Information HUD elements).
Immersive: No HUD at all for complete immersion.
Custom: Fine-tune each HUD element separately to your liking.
When you start adjusting individual elements, your global preset will automatically switch to "Custom" so you can create your perfect setup. Note: This update resets your HUD elements to default (Fully Visible). If you set the Mission Information to your custom preset and turn it OFF, you will still be able to toggle its visibility at any time using the “O” key (for PC players) or the “≡” button (for console players).
For new players, once you’ve completed the tutorial missions in Nez Perce Valley, you’ll have full access to customize the HUD elements to fit your playstyle.
