Weapons are used to hunt. Currently, 4 different weapon classes are available: Rifles, Shotguns, Handguns, and Bows (including Crossbows)

Rifles are the favorite option for many hunters. Provided with scopes, they can be very effective in long-range shooting.


Shotguns are useful tools for hunting small to medium game. Whilst they have a considerable lower range than rifles, their spread makes it easier to hit vital parts if the shot was placed poorly. However, one has also to consider the lower penetration of shotgun pellets. They're mostly used to hunt ducks and geese, or to stop angry animals charging towards the hunter.


Handguns can be used as a backup weapon, protection against an angry animal, or as the primary weapon choice.


Bows are the option for players that like stalking and sneaking up on animals. While their penetration is excellent, they lack the range and accuracy of rifles.

Up to level 60, the game only gives you 22 skills and 22 perks.
You won't have enough points to purchase everything and the reset can be expensive.
This tool allows you to plan your build (Skills and weapon perks) up to level 60 and save it.
