THE WOLF MAN: LAST SEEN NEAR LAKE ISABELLA (September 24th)

[jazzbone]

All those wolves and none could be skinned.
I was dressed light as changing outfits was not available.

The wolves won my first try, i won the second try using my pump with shot shells.
2 attempts and a delivered dead Wolfman earned me $32 and a little gold.

The Wolfman bounty is fun, and i like the location.
Will there be a Cougar or Bear man/woman bounty? I hope so.

Wolf Man on five star difficulty is probably the easiest of all the difficulties. I only had to deal with about 15 wolves max before he said I killed them all. He was at the campsite on the southern end of the lake so there was no bear to deal with either. An easy 1367 XP.

You can't call your hunting wagon either which is a pity.

Can we set the difficulty?

Nope, not directly. There's a cooldown after each completion. Every time you complete it the star difficulty increases. You start on 1 star, and 5 star is the max. Once you finish 5 star it just repeats as the 5 star bounty.

I’ve done the first two, very easy, I thought each week they’d get a little harder.

Ok thanks. And is there an increase in the payout too?

Yep.

I actually thought this was harder than the previous one. Much easier to predict and snipe ncps that mostly stay in the same place compared to wild wolves and bears licking at my feet. 

 

What I noticed though is if you kill his 2 sidekick wolves straight away then he won’t hang around to fight and instead will run straight away. If this is at the camp on the left then you can immediately slide down the cliff behind the camp and not engage any of the wolves. Just watch out for the bear on the way back after you capture him.

The 4 star one has been a bit of a bitch. Killed 2 times by the wolves until I finally had a bit of time to tie the mofo, get him on the horse&ride away on the 3rd run. Getting prepared for the 5 star. Probably the best occasion to get that award, because shootouts with a sh*tload of enemies will always be tougher than this.

Yeah the wolves in my opinion are fine, but when I do this mission even when there are no wolves my horse shifts randomly without me doing so. Idk about you, but even in my regular travels my horse keep shifting directions where I don't want to go and I have to fight the controls even when there is no danger around. Ever since this update my horse has gotten......dumber

Didn't notice my horses getting dumber. I think it's just impossible to go beyond their previous stupidity *shrug*

Well its not all of my horses just my current one. For instance...I'm going down a path and I cut right on the controls to avoid the tree, but my horse fights that direction and shifts left instead.

Biggest complaint with the Legendary Bounties is that their refusal to shut up means you constantly put your weapon away and slowly hit them instead of reloading your weapon and focusing on the threat. Terrible button mapping.

Finally tried 5 star Wolfman for the first time. Worked out quite well. Wolves are pretty annoying especially with Freeaim and no Deadeye use. Here's how it goes with max payout I think:

Welp, I've lost hope that there will be any new guns as a part of the dripfeed. I can't wait until the game is out on pc so the entire contents of an update can be surveyed after release.

 

Cool bounty IMO. It was a bit easy, but the location and character are a cool idea. Hopefully there are more than just 5 or 6 legendary bounties, I'm hoping for st least 10 they can rotate through.

It will pop up again and again and again..

[Shadowfennekin]

BTW killed the bear in one shot with explosive repeater ammo on 4 star. The Outlaw Pass care packages gave us a lot, so might as well use some of them! I have dynamite arrows, and can actually make them.... but I don't want to risk killing Wolf Man due to the big blast radius lol

 

Will try that again on 5 star when I hop back on later

5 star was basically the same as 4.

[Red Lynx 23]

Here was the highlight of my 5 Star playthrough. 

 

Fire arrow for that Grizzly, and I almost hog tied Wolf Man before the wolves got to me.

How do we skip the intro cutscene

I don't think we can. I only had to watch it five times though.

I say go in with a bolt action rifle and a repeating shotgun for this mission. You're gonna get bum rushed by a lot of wolves. If you're on foot and a bunch get close, you're gonna get stun locked basically.

When Wolf Man is found do not immediately attempt to hogtie him as Wolves are gonna spawn a few feet away and interrupt any lasso attempt you make. Just stay on your horse and run around Wolf Man as you kite the wolves that spawn in. Since he is too much of a chicken sh*t to fight back you do not have to worry about him shooting at you as you run around him kiting wolves. Maintain distance to prevent your horse bailing on you, their fear level is based on distance.

I usually hit Wolfman with a Tracking Arrow and then I start shooting the dogs. It's a pain in the ass with Free Aim settings yet challenging.

Due to how many wolves spawn in and bum rush you once you get close to Wolf Man, I am afraid of him getting too far away and the mission failing as I am standing my ground against countless wolves. I found just staying on my horse and kiting the wolves around him to be pretty effective. They're no threat if they can't close the gap. No need for an arrow so long as you stay near him as you're kiting and killing wolves.

I’m confused by this as it doesn’t seem to happen all the time. Sometimes my character will put their weapon away and hit the bounty with their hand and other times they will just use the weapon to hit the bounty instead. 

[Rammer2k]

Reading that you can't call in any wagons, are you allowed to make multiple trips back and forth for each bounty?  i tried doing that with the Alcazar one with all 3 knocked out.  It failed when I only took 2 bounties back.

Depends on whether the option to hit the bounty is pressed before your character puts their weapons away. If the holstering animation is first they will do that and then hit the bounty. I believe the weapon holstering can be interrupted by aiming your equipped weapon.
