Expansive Worlds is leaning heavily into variety with this reserve. The 10 brand-new animals represent a significant boost to the game’s roster, bringing the total species count for the Peru map to 14. While we have to wait until June 5th for the full species reveal, the promise of a new Great One exclusive to this region suggests we should start preparing our loadouts for a serious grind.
Speaking of loadouts, the DLC introduces the Dahler Reverse Draw CB-150. This isn't just another weapon; reverse draw crossbows typically offer better balance and higher bolt speeds, which should make it a top-tier choice for silent, ethical harvests in the dense Peruvian brush. Whether you're navigating the 60 new story missions or just exploring the biomes, this crossbow looks to be a versatile addition to the armory.
Alongside the paid DLC, Patch 9.2 will deploy for all players. The headline for the free update is the implementation of TruRACS for Mountain Goats, finally giving these high-altitude animals the realistic, randomized horn configurations they deserve. We're also seeing much-needed improvements to feeders, which should refine the strategy behind luring prey in specific reserves. Full patch notes are expected on June 15th, just one day before the trek into Peru begins.
