Unlock all DLC exclusives in theHunter: Call of the Wild by following these legitimate methods and community workarounds. 🤝 The Multiplayer "Guest" Method

The most common way to access DLC maps and content without buying them is through multiplayer.

Join a friend: If a host owns a DLC map, you can play on it for free.

Public servers: Search the multiplayer lobby for maps you don't own (e.g., Yukon Valley, Revontuli Coast).

Access gear: You can use specialized equipment (like blinds or decoys) placed by the host. 🛒 Steam and Store Bundles

To permanently unlock items like weapons, dogs, and vehicles for single-player use, purchasing bundles is the only official path.

Starter Bundle: Usually includes the base game plus essential gear like the ATV and Tents.

Master Hunter Bundle: Often the best value for unlocking a large variety of weapons and high-tier maps.

Seasonal Sales: Steam, Epic, and Xbox frequently discount DLCs by 50-75% during major sales. 💻 Community Mods (PC Only)

PC players sometimes use third-party mods to bypass locks, though these carry risks. Nexus Mods: The primary hub for community-made adjustments.

Save Game Editors: Tools that can modify player files to grant specific items.

Risk Warning: Using "unlockers" can lead to corrupted save files or potential bans from online services.

💡 Quick Tip: The ATV Saber 4x4 and Tents & Ground Blinds DLCs are widely considered "essential" for enjoying the game's larger maps.

Can you unlock these via mods?

Some modders have created "unlocker" mods that temporarily replace a common item’s model with an exclusive one. For example, a mod might re-skin the basic recurve bow to look like Houyi’s. However, this is only visible to you. In multiplayer, other players will see the default model. Also, these mods break with every game update.

Tier 3: Cosmetic Exclusives

• Smoking Barrels Weapon Pack: Unlocks the Muzzleloader. Hard to use, but the most satisfying kill in the game.
• Saseka Safari Trophy Lodge: The only lodge that allows you to mount animals on pedestals in the center of the room.

For PlayStation (PS4/PS5):

1. From the PS dashboard, highlight the game → Press Down → Select PlayStation Store.
2. Scroll to "Your Add-Ons." Buy the Hunter: Call of the Wild – Complete Collection (available digitally).
3. After purchase, the DLC will auto-download. Boot the game. You’ll see a notification: "New content available."

The Ethical Price Tag

Beyond the technical risks, there is an ethical consideration. Expansive Worlds has supported theHunter: Call of the Wild for over seven years—a lifetime in gaming. The DLC model funds free updates (like re-skins, bug fixes, and the new Scopes DLC system).

When you "unlock all" via cracks, you aren't robbing a faceless corporation; you are telling the developers that their continued work on waterfowl mechanics or the next reserve isn't worth paying for.
