We’ve just released Update 0.1.1 for Way of the Hunter 2, bringing a new rifle, some additional gear, and a bunch of fixes based on what many of you have been reporting and discussing with us. We are continuing to improve the experience based on your feedback, with a focus on stability, consistency, and overall polish.
New Weapon and Gear
This update adds the Bergara B14 HMR, a new branded rifle built for precision and control when hunting big game. It comes paired with 6.5 Creedmoor – Lewellings Grande Swift ammunition, offering reliable performance in the field. Alongside it, we’ve also added the Bushnell Engage 3-9x40 Illuminated scope as a new attachment option, giving you more flexibility when setting up your loadout.
Improvements Based on Your Feedback
Alongside new content, this update delivers several fixes and refinements across the game, including fixes for distorted animals’ antlers and horns, skills not loading properly after restarting, and completed missions reappearing at campsites. Stability improvements address issues related to sleeping and fast travel, along with rare cases of falling under terrain while in a vehicle.
Based on your feedback, we’ve also improved the quality of fur patterns for Piebald variations.
