Update 7.0 a - ENDLESS MODE
Huntin' Buddies Wildlife Management
Halloween Update: ENDLESS MODE is here
Took me a bit longer than we wanted, but it’s out. Pine Valley Forest now has an Endless mode, just go in the lobby and go through the Endless Gate.
What Endless Mode is
No fixed contract list. Every run rolls its own contracts, its own payouts, and its own mix of animals. The main horror is randomized too, so you won’t know what’s walking around out there until it’s already walking at you. You keep hauling until you can’t.
16 new animals, most of them wrong
The forest has some new residents. Some are normal. Most are not.

Wolves and bears attack. You’ll hear them before you see them, which is not the comfort it sounds like.
Every anomaly has its own sounds and its own thing it does. Some of those things happen when you shoot it. Some happen while you’re dragging it back to the truck.
Animal Field Guide
New book in your tools. It lists every animal, what it looks like, and what to watch out for. It fills in as you find things. Read it before you need it.
Fixes and improvements
- Dragging has been reworked on both server and client. It should feel a lot smoother now, especially with 3-4 people on one animal.
- Fixed: if several players were dragging and only one of them was overstretching, nothing snapped. Now it does.
- Directional walk and run animations now replicate properly to other players.
- New player character animations.
- Stamina calculation improved and runs cheaper.
- Head look replication improved.
- Animal holding speed logic reworked.
- Fixed a tree floating near the mountain on the way from camp.
- Fixed Hexabbit camera issue.
- New capsule art on the store page.
Huntin’ Buddies is 38% off for Scream Fest through November 2.
If you find something broken, the Discord is the fastest way to reach me. If you find something that should be broken but isn’t, that’s probably an anomaly.
