Rifles, shotguns, optics and documented ammo compatibility

Update 1.4 changes the .375 H&H (Lewellings Grande Strike) ballistics, which under-reported impact energy at short and medium range, so a headshot can now kill wood bison. Scope reticle markings now show a true 1 mRad instead of about 1.65 mRad, so holdovers you learned on the old scale will be off.

Caller timers now display and work properly, and collecting several decoys from the map no longer leaves only one in Storage. Still listed as known: wrong Shop and Storage recoil for .308 Winchester (Grande Swift, lower than shown) and 12 Gauge (Rapid Buckshot, higher than shown), and no Accuracy stat for slugs, bolts and arrows. The notes give no new values.

The update fixes Grande Hunter and Grande Swift .338 Lapua Magnum rounds having identical performance. It gives no replacement damage or energy values. These .338 loads are distinct from earlier chambering examples and do not change the compatibility of another calibre with the same brand name. Kingy has not tested ballistic performance.

These are confirmed additions rather than a complete firearm catalogue. The Bergara announcement explicitly pairs its rifle with Lewellings Grande Swift. The other rows establish chambering; they do not establish every compatible in-game load.

A choke changes pellet concentration. The Long Range Choke is a named attachment introduced with these shotguns; the announcement does not enumerate its weapon compatibility.

The following names and equipment categories are documented additions. Magnification-style numbers are part of the published model names, not separate Kingy measurements. Check the in-game attachment list for your chosen weapon.

HUNT’s May 8, 2026 upload shows two shop prices and a fitted Bergara B14 HMR loadout. The inspected menus do not display a build number or branch. These are dated observations; current September prices and unlock levels remain unconfirmed.

The Bergara purchase confirms its listed price: the creator’s balance falls from 2,635 to 465, a deduction of 2,170, and the rifle then shows “1 owned” at 4:56. These values are in-game currency.

At 5:56, the screen headed “Bergara B14 HMR” shows an Integrix iX6 3-18x44 WotH Edition optic with Change and Clear controls. A Primacy Whisper Magnum suppressor card appears in the same rifle’s attachment screen. This establishes the displayed combination in that recording; its current compatibility and performance have not been tested.

The Bushnell scope is listed at 1,200 while the creator has 465 remaining. The loadout sequence uses the Integrix optic. It does not verify a Bushnell purchase or its fit on the Bergara.

Primos Big Bucks Rattling Bag supports pronghorn from 0.3.0.199567. Primos Mountain Quail and Primos Hog Squealer were also added in that update, but their full target and caller-level lists are not enumerated in the notes.

Update 0.2.0.195528 added the WildHeart Yellow-Billed Duck Decoy, Terra Fractal TR compound bow and Primacy Impact Mechanical Blade Long Vanes 30-inch arrow. Their addition is confirmed; an exact bow/arrow compatibility table is still unconfirmed.

In Default 0.5.0 (211250), ammo slots use green for a match with the equipped weapon and red for a mismatch. Weapon slots also reflect whether matching ammo is loaded. The HUD shows the ammo type, and the radial menu preselects the currently loaded type.

1. Choose your rifle or shotgun in Storage.
2. Check that the available ammo matches the equipped weapon; green means a match and red a mismatch.
3. Use Auto-equip Ammunition or equip a compatible type manually.
4. Check the HUD ammo indicator and radial menu.

Version 0.4.0 corrected Evoke accuracy, recoil and noise entries, along with Primacy Panther noise reduction and ammunition encyclopedia fields. Experimental 0.5.0.209722 corrected 20-gauge buckshot information. An older screenshot is not sufficient evidence for today’s values.

The May 8 shop values and attachment combination above are dated footage observations. Current prices, unlock levels, optimal animal loadouts and measured impact-energy values remain unconfirmed. Kingy has not independently played or tested this equipment’s performance.

The 0.4.1 Default announcement warns that the rebalanced level may not appear immediately after logging in. Its stated trigger is earning at least one more XP point. If you are comparing an old level-based gear guide with a migrated save, earn XP through normal play and recheck the displayed level before treating the display as final.

This is a historical update-specific diagnostic. The note does not establish a current weapon unlock level, guarantee that every missing item is repaired, or confirm that the same display issue remains in 0.5.0. Record your build, XP, displayed level and the locked item if the result still disagrees.
