the hunter call of the wild tents and ground blinds DLC review/overview.
Tents & Ground Blinds
it’s a DLC that has been plagued with bugs in the past. that’s why the reviews are mixed.
at the moment of writing this the biggest bugs are fixed though.
common cons
- the ground blinds are seen as useless by many.
- there have been patches added after which tents where plagued by bugs.
- setting up a tent scares away the animals.
- it’s expensive to buy additional tents.
- they take up a lot of inventory space.
common pro’s
- having a spawn point while traveling to get back where you started is very useful.
- having additional spawn points near hot zones is very useful.
- the ground blinds can be used with some missions.
personal opinion
i have played the game without tents and that’s perfectly possible.
the tents are IMO mainly very useful if you travel and you want to start again at the place you stopped.
instead of the nearest spawn point.
the bugs made the tents broken and i’m afraid that this will happen again if they add new map fixes. but there is no way of predicting this.
summary
the tent DLC is a good quality of life improvement and still usable late in the game.
but it isn’t absolutely needed to play.

things you might want to know
- the tents take a lot of storage space, that’s why the backpacks are useful if you want to take more stuff with you.
- the ground blinds have a roof on them so it’s hard to use them for bird hunting. it’s also hard to shoot uphill.
- you can’t lie down in the ground blinds for easier shooting.
- you can place a limited amount of tents and ground blinds in your maps.
- the normal tents do not provide additional cover, ground blinds do.
- there are a few missions in which you need to shoot something from a hunting stand, you can also do this from a ground blind. the advantage of ground blinds is that you can place it anywhere you want. while the hunting stands are stationary.
- tents are useful if you want to find animals faster, animals spawn mostly away from the outposts, but you can place a tent everywhere you want.
