Hamish Bug?

[Glavin99]

Hi

 

When I am hunting near where Hamish is camping, if you walk near his camp with a carcass it will drop and you can not pick it up.

 

Any one else?

To answer your question...

Been that way since Beta for me at least.   I don't know if it's a bug or R* subtle little way of trying to coax you into his missions which used to be primarily  player assassination...

I haven't seen one of them in months

Sometimes you can pick it up, sometimes you can't... Everytime it's a pain in the a$$.

Just need to give him a buffer zone if carrying a carcass.

Yeah happened every time to me too. After the 5th time I just started avoiding his area. Makes it easier though if you forget, it can become an issue. I forgot twice and I was mad. lol

That happens with any stranger mission giver and even the bounty board if I recall. It's annoying but possible to pick up the carcass/skin and try running and jumping as far away as you can repeatedly before you force-drop it until you break out of the zone. It even happens with fish if you fish off the dock near Thomas in Lagras.

 

Another thing you can try is lassoing and pulling it out of the zone, provided your lasso will loop your target (some animals you can't lasso)

I often forget the area and end up having to deal with the issue. Not sure why it happens but they should allow us to have saved markers on that map that stay so we can mark the area and no to avoid it.

You can put permanent markers on the map that will stay there until you decide to take them down. The numer is limited im affraid. I was once trying to mark all gang hideouts locations even before the update that adds more locations of them in game and couldnt mark them all bcoz of the limit. its somwhere between 20 and 30.

 

On X box you need to use the "push left stick" to set a perma marker in the map menu. Dont know about PS but i think it might be the same. 

So for ex. if you want to set a perimeter of some sorts to alarm you not to go near that location you can do this by setting multiple markers in the area radius. I bett you will notice those red dots on radar when getting close.
