[p]\[ EDIT: REGARDING PATCH 8.4[/p][p]We've been seeing some misunderstandings around the new Premium Trophy Mount Pack DLC. Some hunters are under the impression that new trophy lodge customizations will all be under paid DLC. We want to clarify better; our patches do NOT cost money. [/p][p]Patch 8.4 will contain 16 new plaques and 40 new platforms for EVERYONE. On top of this there will be a UI overhaul and filtering system for trophy lodges. You'll also be able to add sprays to plaques and platforms. This patch arrives at the same time as both upcoming DLC release (Scotland Hunting Reserve and Premium Trophy Mount Pack). [/p][p]Patch 8.4 Highlights:[/p]

• [p]Animal remasters (Roe Deer, Red Deer, Wild Boar)[/p]
• [p]A new Great One (Unannounced)[/p]

• [p]Hunt 17 animals, 5 brand new. Among them, mustelids are featured for the first time, including the European Badger and American Mink. They are elusive creatures, so be vigilant! The Red Deer are returning, and as a symbol of leadership and renewal in Scottish folklore, it’s only natural that they are getting a remaster with new and improved models. The Feral Goat will also return, along with many more![/p][p] [/p]
• [p]Breathe in the mythical atmosphere through a unique storyline that brings you into a vast history of Scottish hunting traditions and folklore. Hunt between ruins and fishing villages, through Highlands and Lowlands. The early autumn mists beckon.[/p][p][/p]
• [p]When you pick up Scotland, you get the Benelhag 12G, a new semi-auto shotgun with a tubular magazine. The new shotty is versatile and can birdshot, buckshot, and slug, so it’s great for hunting all sorts of game.[/p]
