theHunter: Call of the Wild™

Hotfix 9.2.1 for theHunter: Call of the Wild arrived on July 14, 2026, carrying a concentrated set of bug fixes across equipment, missions, stability, trophies, and UI — plus a platform-specific crash fix for PlayStation.

What Changed

Stability

  • A multiplayer crash triggered when a player was attacked by a Jaguar has been addressed.
  • Several memory allocation issues have been fixed.
  • On PlayStation, a frequent crash occurring on the Harvest Screen has been resolved.

Missions

  • On Medved Taiga, the second objective for Federal Ecoservice #5 now appears correctly in the UI.
  • On Intisuyu, Brother's Tall Tale #3 no longer completes by shooting any animal in the heart — the target is now correctly restricted to Caimans.
  • A separate Brother's Tall Tale #3 bug that incorrectly required a single-shot heart kill has also been fixed.
  • Brother's Gift on Intisuyu can now be completed by taxidermizing a Great One.

Trophies & Equipment

  • Old Scar's taxidermized trophy now displays her unique fur variation. Players who taxidermized her before this patch retain their existing pseudo-melanistic trophy, and anyone who completed the relevant mission — taxidermy or not — receives a new correct trophy automatically.
  • The Dahler Reverse Draw CB-150 and its ammunition are no longer incorrectly unlocked via Weapon Pack 1; owners of the Peru Hunting Reserve will have the associated Crossbow Sight unlocked.

UI & Equipment

  • Relevant Intisuyu species have been added to Game Feeder codex entries.
  • The occasional "low-poly" appearance of animals on the Harvest Screen has been patched.

The retroactive trophy correction for Old Scar is the most player-friendly element here — no one who encountered the bug is left empty-handed.
