Had anyone a Map? Where i can find the moose

[No Homing]

1 at Barrow Lagoon, very small area, can't miss it.

2nd one north of Brandywine Drop, a bit bigger area I think.

[Wunderlicht20]

As soon as the jeanropke map has been updated I'll update The Legendary Animals Thread.

 

Until then, as @No Homing said, Barrow Lagoon, at night, can't miss it, and go to the train tracks, North of Brandywine Drop, during the day.

 

[No Homing]

Ah, crap, I picked the wrong one to head for first, I picked Barrow first, because I wanted to make sure I avoid the Owiza bear on the way, so I don't accidently trigger a 48 min cooldown. Guess I'm waiting here now. Need some coffee anyway.

It could still spawn, ofcourse, but haven't seen it yet.

Same, I'm hanging out just below the snow line waiting for night time, can't be bothered going to Brandywine Drop.

But the other one is much easier, just fast travel to Annesburg and follow the train tracks north. Nothing else that spawns there.

One of the panthers is gonna be even worse I think, it covers the same area as the Sun Gator.

I might have to avoid fast traveling to Lagras if I want the panther.

Yeah, but I want the white one first, because the other one is easier and closer to Gus.

 

The panther in Bluewater Marsh will be a b*tch, overlaps the Sun Gator and Cogi Boar. We'll have to time it just right.

no moose here brandywine Drop

At least if you've encountered the Sun Gator and Cogi Bear they won't spawn for 72 hours leaving the Panther the only Legendary Animal in the area to spawn.

However, I've more often than not got the most recent Legendary Animal added to the game on the day they are released, so I think Rockstar must be setting some strings in the game to spawn the most recently added Legendary Animal before the others. I've completed the Animal Field Guide for both the bears already, and hopefully we do get a new Legendary today too as nothing on the Newswire yet that I can see.

What are all the confirmed timers for legendary animals, like what is the 72 hour one for or the 48 minute one & how many cool down timers exist?

I have legit been playing every day for the past 60 days on Xbox and not once have I encountered this collect all issue.  I use the lockbox every single day.  It may have been present on other platforms but wasn't on Xbox.  Guess they decided it was only fair to screw everyone with this update.

It happens on PS4 and PC at the lock box and post office.

As far I’m aware there is a 72 hour cool down per species and a 48 minute timer for spawning Legendary Animals. However if you ignore the yellow question mark the cool down timers won’t start so if you ignore a Legendary Animal you’ve already completed and just ride off or change sessions the cool down timers  won’t activate as far a I’m aware at least.

 

Of course if your a PC player you can clear out the cloud.dat files from your User temp folder and the cool down will be removed, but it doesn’t mean you can spawn the same legendary animal again straight away due to the randomness of the spawns anyway.

So after killing one Moose it'll take 72 hours to find the other, that includes finding the same Moose you already killed right? That's a surprisingly long timer.

my aim dot ha changed, its much bigger now. nobody mentioned this till nowß

You know what? Today was a good day to play RDO.

 

All the challenges were relatively easy to do, my camp was set near a revenue agents roadblock, and I was invited to Trade Routes soon after. Sure, there were assholes throwing dynamites, and I was obliterated by an NPC on a maxim gun that I couldn’t lock-on to or target with PiB, but that proved to be a positive. Because I died in the armpit of the Heartlands, the nearest fast-travel post was at Emerald Ranch, and there was a disgustingly easy rival moonshiner camp along the way. I also saw and hunted a 3-star buck after I poisoned the still, always a good sign when that happens.

 

 When I came back to camp, Cripps’ was almost full on goods, and my buck and two jackrabbits were just the right amount of material to top the bar off. I went to Marcel, he started making the ‘shine, I went to complete one last stealth kill on a convenient roadblock that spawned down the road, and I messaged a friend to help me with the Biggest Fish posse challenge daily.

 

7/7 daily challenges fulfilled, 100/100 trader goods, and 20/20 moonshine. All in less than two hours, so it didn’t feel like a chore either.

Not seen a single other player in view on both accounts, after the update. The highest count I've seen was 8 players and it wasn't for long. It dropped by 4 at once (probably a posse) and remained low. I'm not noticing any difference, really.

Yeah, thankfully that was my experience last night too (on the PC); the most I had in any session was eight, but most of the time it was one to three other players.

 

A fair amount of time I was the only one in the session, snagged a map from my favorite treasure tree, ran into a "follow the dog" ambush (only one NPC to kill), lots of collectibles looted from NPCs, and no sign of animal spawns or ambient NPC population being affected.

I had the old man show up at my camp as I was lugging in a deer.

He said "I knew you were coming" then he ran off.

Somehow I get the feeling that the old man was just added for comic relief; there might be something more to his presence in the game, but I have my doubts. lol

What do you mean?  The skin counts as a collectible?

Animal skins and small carcasses are counted as "collectibles from non-player enemies". Didn't understand why, until Madam Nazar started asking for squirrel carcasses and raccoon pelts in the weekly collector lists.
