Collectibles Types

The map displays three distinct types of collectibles, each offering unique rewards and requiring different search strategies to locate effectively.

Sheds

Antler sheds are naturally dropped by deer species during their seasonal cycles. These collectibles provide valuable insight into animal movement patterns and territory boundaries. Finding sheds also rewards XP and helps you understand where large trophy animals frequently travel.

Artifacts

Ancient artifacts scattered throughout the reserves tell the story of human civilization in these wilderness areas. Each artifact unlocks codex entries that reveal historical information about the land and its previous inhabitants. These items are typically found near old structures, campsites, or natural landmarks.

Artifact

Special artifact locations contain unique historical items that provide deeper lore about each reserve’s past. These premium collectibles often require more exploration to reach and offer substantial XP rewards along with exclusive story content that enriches the hunting experience.
