Way of the Hunter 2

Way of the Hunter 2 Maps: Reserves, Sizes and Navigation

At a glance

The base game has New Laurentia and Kilimaya Reserve at 100 km² each, plus the 16 km² Hearth & Hunt Headquarters hub. Choose a reserve by your target species, then use discovered need zones to navigate.

Three maps, different purposes

Map Area What to use it for
New Laurentia 100 km² North American species, including mule deer, white-tailed deer, moose, elk and wood bison
Kilimaya Reserve 100 km² African species, including lions, hippos, Nile crocodiles and greater kudu
Hearth & Hunt Headquarters 16 km² Expandable lodge, cross-reserve trophy display and a smaller surrounding hunting area

Headquarters is not a third reserve of the same scale as the first two. Future DLC areas are not included in this base-game count. The main menu’s Hunting Reserves entry is the place to look for reserve selection.

Read the animal layer

Hide unrelated species with the sidebar icons. Select a group and use Toggle animal spots to expand discovered need zones. Read the species, location and activity times from the zone panel.

Explore question marks to discover more spots. A blank part of your map can mean that it has not been explored, rather than that the area has no wildlife. For a recognizable starting example, look for mule deer feeding spots west of the main New Laurentia lodge around Wetiko Foothills.

Travel and personal markers

  • Green tent/P camp: once unlocked, fast travel, change time and summon a vehicle.
  • Station: fast travel and vehicle summoning, without time changes.
  • Task highlight: use the highlighted area and on-site objective prompts for mission targets.
  • Position waypoint: PC middle mouse button; edit the icon under CUSTOM MARKER or use CLEAR.
  • Animal tag: use the firing input through binoculars; it follows the individual rather than staying at a place.

Use the animal-location guide for need-zone examples in both reserves. A map overview identifies regions and navigation tools; it is not a complete coordinate list for every animal.
