The following weapons appear in theHunter: Call of the Wild:

Sidearms

Glock 40

The Glock 40 was introduced into the game with the "Assorted Sidearms" DLC as the "10mm Davani 40". Chambered in 10mm Auto, it features a 15 round magazine and compatibility with a micro red dot sight. An alternate custom variation also exists, though differences are only really cosmetic.

Ruger GP100 / Taurus Raging Bull hybrid

The Ruger GP100, known in-game as "Rhino 454", appears modelled with the barrel of a Taurus Raging Bull. It is obtainable though the in-game store, although it is score-locked. As the name suggests, it is chambered in .454 Casull, it also features a 5 round cylinder and is compatible with either a reflex sight, handgun scope or tritium sights. An alternate version with many decorative features such as engraving and a pearl grip also exists as "Sundberg 454" which was added during celebration of the fifth anniversary of the game. Like the Rhino, the Sundberg is also obtained through the store, although differs in that it is both free and not score-locked.

Ruger Mark IV

The Ruger Mk IV was introduced in the "Weapon Pack 3" DLC under the name "Andersson .22LR", though interestingly the markings on the in-game model show the very different name of "Roger Mark II". Chambered in .22LR, it has a 10 round magazine and is compatible with a micro red dot sight, reflex sight, handgun scope and tritium sights. Two alternate variants exist with only cosmetic differences.

Ruger Super Redhawk

The Ruger Super Redhawk appears as the ".44 Panther Magnum" and is acquired through the in-game store. It is chambered in .44 Magnum with a 6 round cylinder and compatibility with a reflex sight, handgun scope or tritium sights. Two other interesting variations exist, one being the ".44 Wildcat Magnum", a fancy and engraved version which is for some reason not score-locked, and the even fancier ".44 Gaucho Magnum", which will only appear in the store after completing a series of missions on the "Parque Fernando" DLC map, it will be free but is still score-locked.

The Taurus Judge was added in the "Weapon Pack 2" DLC with the name "Mangiafico 410/45 Colt", though modelled in-game with a barrel from the Smith & Wesson Model 327. True to the name, it can be loaded with either .410 shotshells or .45 Long Colt, it also features a 6 round cylinder and compatibility with a handgun scope. Two other variations also appear with only cosmetic differences.

Single Action Army

A Single Action Army was added in the "Assorted Sidearms" DLC under the name ".45 Rolleston". As one would expect, it is chambered in .45 Colt and operates only in single action, it is modelled with a 6-round cylinder although the player will always skip over one of the chambers and only load five rounds instead, likely as a safety measure carried out on real SAA-pattern revolvers without a transfer bar. It is not compatible with any optic but does still have an alternate cosmetically different variant available. This gun is unique in that it features a special idle animation specifically when not loaded which has the player spin the gun around, additionally the hammer is fanned by the player when firing from the hip repeatedly.

Bows & Crossbows

Classical Bows

Two variations of classical bows exist in the game so far, each with multiple cosmetic variations. These bows have no form of sights, the idea of aiming one of these is a dubious idea at best. These bows are used with either 350 grain, 540 grain or 700 grain traditional arrows, for small, medium and large game respectively. They are quieter than firearms, meaning they won't scare animals as badly.

The "Alexander Longbow" was added with the "Silver Ridge Peaks" map DLC and is described in-game as flexible but sturdy. It has a peak draw weight of 60lb.

In-game render of the Alexander Longbow.

The "Houyi Recurve Bow" was added in the "Weapon Pack 1" DLC and is described in-game as being based on the designs of traditional Chinese Qing recurve bows. It has a peak draw weight of 70lb and uses the same arrows as the Alexander Longbow. Despite the name, this is actually a Reflex Bow.

"Aiming" with a classical bow, both examples are like this.

Compound Bows

Several variations of compound bows are in the game, most having no cosmetically different variants. These bows are extremely effective when used right, they are all compatible with a range of bow sights, including one sight with laser rangefinder. They are used with either 300 grain point arrows, 420 grain broadhead arrows or 600 grain broadhead arrows for small, medium and large game respectively.

The "Razorback CB 60" is described in-game as being sleek, quiet and deadly accurate, which holds true in gameplay. It features a peak draw weight of 60lb

In-game render of the Razorback Lite CB 60.

The "Bearclaw CB 60" was added in its own DLC of the same name as the weapon itself. It is largely the same as the Razorback with same peak draw weight, but is also described as having a pre-installed stabilizer, it is also heavier.

In-game render of the Bearclaw Lite CB 60.

The "Koter CB 65" was added in the "High Tech Hunting Pack" DLC and is the only compound bow with a single cosmetically different variation. It is described in-game as being versatile and within a sweet spot between the other compound bows. It features a peak draw weight of 65lb.

In-game Render of the Koter CB 65.

The "Hawk Edge CB 70" is described as being state-of-the-art, incredibly powerful and firing arrows at unusually flat trajectories. It features a peak draw weight of 70lb.

Crossbows

The "CrossPoint CB 165" was added in the "Weapon Pack 1" DLC and is, as of this writing, the only crossbow in the game aside from its other cosmetic variants. It is described in-game as precision-crafted and powerful enough to take down the largest game animals. It is also described as featuring a woven carbon fiber barrel, a built-in rope-cocking device and a 4-arrow quiver, complete with a peak draw weight of 165lb. It is compatible with only a specific crossbow scope and either 300 grain point bolts, 420 grain broadhead bolts or 600 grain broadhead bolts for small, medium and large game respectively. This weapon will not frighten animals like a gun will, due to being much quieter.
