Guide For Deer Hunter

rom the main screen you’ve got two important buttons: Options (for toggling music, notifications, and dealing with Game Center stuff) and Play.

Once you’ve selected Play, you’ll see a display of your current energy reserves, level, cash and gold, equipped weapons (primary and secondary), weapon stats, and buttons to enter the Weapon Shop, Swap Out or Upgrade weapons, and move to the Next screen.

Back – go back to the title screen.

Swap Out – allows you to select any of your owned weapons as Primary or Secondary.

Upgrade – you can spend cash (or gold, which is premium currency) to incrementally upgrade your owned weapons. Note that after a certain point, upgrades will begin to take a certain amount of real time to be “delivered” in addition to their cost.

Arrow Buttons – switch back and forth (either by tapping or swiping) between Primary and Secondary weapons.

Weapon Shop – browse a selection of Rifles, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, and Pistols – some of which can only be purchased with premium currency. Also note that certain weapons can only be purchased when you have an Internet connection.

Next – proceed to the map screen to select a hunt.

On the map screen you’ll see a number of different hunts that will change as you progress. Tap on a hunt icon to view its details which include energy cost, targets, special conditions, rewards, and requirements.

Different kinds of hunts present different challenges. Contract Hunts typically involve picking off a set number of specific targets within a time limit, usually as several make a break for it. Trophy Hunts are special encounters with a number of special rare animals in the area, each with a specific set of weapon requirements that must be met before they can be hunted. Hunting Series is a more traditional style of hunt for more common prey.

The icons just above the Go Hunt button in a hunt’s details explain the requirements. A yellow Caution sign means you don’t have the recommended weapon but can still attempt a hunt; a red Exclamation means you don’t have the required loadout and can’t hunt; and a green Check mark means you’re good to go.

You can also swipe the screen to switch between the other hunting regions – North Africa and British Columbia. Note that neither region will be available until you’ve completed all the Trophy Hunts in the region before it. You’ll also have to download the new regions if you want to use them, but they’re free and can be pre-loaded whenever you have online access.
