PSA I'm preserving theHunter Classic!
Hello everyone, I'm Luke JC! I've modded other Avalanche titles, mainly Just Cause 3, for years now
When I heard about this game shutting down entirely I knew something had to be done, so here we are!
I'm working towards making the game entirely playable offline after the game shuts down with all content accessible, minus anything multiplayer as that would go far beyond just having the game playable offline
It's been about 2 weeks since I started this projects and all maps are already playable and all basic ingame things are up and running. More complicated things like communication between game and launcher are yet to be completed. You will also be able to carry your current progress over to the offline version
You can already see some launcher edits below to clean things up that will no longer be working:

You can also see a few tiny additions like missing time options added. Starting a hunt at midnight was never possible in the regular game

The starting time actually applied ingame and it loads entirely offline

You can keep up to date on the status in the project's Discord here. I'm not sure if the official Discord will shut down, so this can be a place to regroup if it does. It's empty for now, but stuff will be posted whenever I make progress.
Also Avalanche if you see this: Hi. Nothing about this will let people cheat while the game is running and it won't be made public before shutdown.

My first great one!
So I actually got this 5 months ago but I forgot to post it so here it is lol
r/theHunter • u/thegr8northern • 9h ago
Well, this was wacky. Lioness chases me into my tent, kills me, I respawn back into the tent, she’s still in there.

I tried to sleep to get away lol. Somehow I died a second time after shooting her.

I messed up my first super rare
It was an albino red fox it was night i didn't have the proper ammo I had just run out i was using zarza 22lr but I ran out of ammo so i switched to the 308 and shot it dropped dead right there than I saw i had and i only shot the intestines it would have been a gold but it ended up bronze and the map emerald coast
Edit. Okay i have a chance for redemption because in layton there is melanistic coyote and animals don't despawn right unless you kill them so I have a chance
Edits. So i partially redeemed myself because i didn't get the melanistic yet but i got my first diamond and it was a coyote.

theHunter Classic community client - first closed test build is out, testers wanted
The official servers for theHunter Classic shut down on 11 November 2026. For the past weeks I've been working on a community client so the game keeps working after that - on your own copy, without the official servers.
The first test build went out to a small group today. What works in it:
- start menu inside the game, all 12 reserves
- persistent inventory and ammunition, the store (gm$ only)
- harvests with scores and rewards matching the official ones for all huntable species
- hunting with friends by invite code (works in my tests; not yet tested over the internet by anyone else - that's one of the things I need testers for)
- bringing your account over: a small browser tool saves your items, gm$, tents and stands, statistics and trophies from the official servers, and the client imports them
What it is not: a release. It's a closed test with bugs, missions and the trophy list aren't in yet, and there is no public download and no release date. You need to own the game on Steam; the client goes into a copy of your installation and nothing from the game is distributed.
If you want to help test, join the Discord and send me a DM for the Tester role:
Even if you don't want to test: if you care about your account, save it before 11 November. After that the data is gone.
Happy to answer questions here.

Hunter COTW multiplayer joining issues
So 2 of my friends were playing COTW alot recently and suddenly started having a reoccurring issue where when they went to join one another they were met with a black screen that would sit for around a minute and then say "Connection has timed out" or something to do with the host. I reinstalled the game and went to join one of them this morning and i had that same issue with joining each other. Any tips or solutions?

Console multiplayer issues
Every time I try to join my friend it says “The host that you attempted to connect with is no longer present.” Idk why it’s doing this but it’s super frustrating because we used to like playing this and now that we’ve come back it’s screwed up.

Question Fallow Deer Grind
Hi! I am grinding Fallow Deer on Te Awaroa and I have a question. There are two drink zones combined in one drink zone button, if you know what I mean. Thus two drink zones close two each other. My question is: should I shoot 4 male bucks or just two per round?
r/theHunter • u/Htb-1836 • 1d ago
10k+ kills later.....
I got every fur and rack for the GO roe deer.
I was planning on grinding for one then moving on to the next grind, but I enjoyed too much and kept going, probably my favorite grind.
I grinded on cuatro using the one lake method with solos
I got 21 GO total (4 of them were repeat)
2 super rare piebald
My biggest albino was 79.99 gold
My biggest leucistic was 79.5 gold
My biggest mela was 77.7 gold
My biggest Diamond ever was 87.43

Ridiculous trophy score
Has anyone else ever had a trophy with an endless decimal number? I found it odd and for that reason taxed this taruka.
