Way of the Hunter Rifle Selector

Stuck trying to figure out the most efficient options of rifles for the different maps of Way of the Hunter, I came up with a spreadsheet that charts the recommended hit energy for the different big game animals, on which I superimposed the 50m to 300m (55yd to 328 yd) hit energies for the different rifles available in the game. You can try out the interactive graph below, which I created using Chart.js.

Select Map: Nez Perce Valley Transylvania Aurora Shores Tikamoon Plains Matariki Park Lintukoto Reserve Elkcrest Island

Select Rifle #1:

Select Rifle #2:

For quick reference, the following rifle combinations seem to be the most efficient for each map:

• Nez Perce Valley: .30-30 Win & .270 Win

• Transylvania: .30-30 Win & .270 Win

• Aurora Shores: 6.5mm Creedmoor & .300 Win Mag

• Tikamoon Plains: .308 Win & .338 Lapua Mag

• Matariki Park: .270 Win & .300 Win Mag

• Lintukoto Reserve: 6.5mm Creedmoor & .300 Win Mag

• Elkcrest Island: 6.5mm Creedmoor & .300 Win Mag

If you notice any errors in chart, please email me.

The information in the chart above is current as of Game Update 1.31 (Elkcrest Island release). Also, the values in the graph reflect the default ammo for each firearm, not including the expanded ammo options from Update 1.26. Trying to code in the different ammo options is currently beyond my capabilities; plus, there’s not that big a change in the impact energies of the different ammo to really make a difference.
