Tòrr nan Sithean Guide: Animals, Weapons and Whether to Buy It

The wiki's species table stops at 17, but the reserve has one more creature that players talk about a lot. The wiki describes the Wild Haggis as the first cryptid type of animal in the game, says its sightings and tracks run through one of the reserve's mission threads, and calls it probably the most elusive species in the game, with a lower spawn chance than the Great Ones. The store page's longer description also counts 18 animals in one place against 17 in another.

That mission thread is also where the best known bug sits. In the Steam bug report thread I read in full, posted on release day, the player says the haggis appeared up in a tree after they played the bagpipe to attract it, and they could not interact with it. Replies on the same day and the next describe the fix that worked for them: interact with every set of tracks first, then highlight the haggis through binoculars or a scope and shoot it. A Steam review from December 27, 2025 reports the same stuck quest.

The class column makes the loadout fairly simple. Every species sits between class 1 and class 6, so nothing here needs class 7, 8 or 9 ammunition, and one reviewer notes there are no dangerous animals. One positive Steam review puts it plainly: the largest game is the red deer, so leave the .300 Win Mag at camp.

The weight of the list is at the small end, which means two bands do most of the work:

• Class 1 and 2: nine birds and small animals in class 1, plus the European badger and red fox in class 2. That is 11 of the 17 species, so a shotgun and a small game rifle earn their slots. The included Benelhag 12G shotgun is a semi-auto 12 gauge, and the wiki says you can unlock it through mission progress without finishing the whole reserve.
• Class 3 to 6: feral goat, roe deer, fallow deer, sika deer, wild boar and red deer. One Steam reviewer says the default .243 rifle covers most species on the reserve, apart from the birds, hares and mustelids, which is why they call it beginner friendly.

Reviewers single out the mink and pine marten as the hard shots. One says they are super difficult to hit because they are so small and cannot be called in, and another found the minks too elusive. That is the one fiddly part of an otherwise easy loadout.

Steam players lean positive, but not by a wide margin. Across all languages the add-on had 106 positive reviews out of 152 when I read them in October 2026. In the 58 recent English reviews, 45 were positive.

The things people like:

• How it looks and sounds. This is the most repeated praise. Several reviewers call it their favorite reserve for scenery, and the music comes up again and again, with one reviewer saying the song is what sold them on it. For me, good music is half of whether a map is a chill place to spend an evening, so that one counts.
• Animals everywhere. Reviewers who like to walk in a direction and shoot what they find say you can barely go a few minutes without meeting something. Several describe it as a run and gun map.
• New small species. The mink, pine marten and badger get named as fun, quick targets, and one reviewer welcomes the new 12 gauge autoloader and the hunting structures placed around the map.
• Open hills. Players like sitting on a hilltop and spotting far in every direction.

The complaints split into two camps, and they are worth reading closely before buying:

• Too much small game. The negative reviews mostly come from players who want big trophies. One calls it small game and ducks with nothing worth shooting, and another reports mostly class 1 and 2 animals after unlocking five outposts.
• Grass and render distance. A long negative review says grass only draws about 40 meters out, leaving muddy textures on the open hills beyond, and another finds the tall foliage hard to see through.
• Bugs. Reviewers report missions that reset or would not complete, a landmark photo that never registered, crashes when loading the reserve, and the stuck haggis quest above.
• Size and price. One reviewer finished most achievements in a day and says it is not worth 11 to 12 euros until a sale, a point two positive reviews make too.

Buy it if you like small game, birds and an easy, wandering style of hunting. It has five species found nowhere else, and several of the reviewers who call it their favorite map say they play that way. The music and scenery get the warmest praise of anything on it, which matters to me more than a big trophy list.

Skip it, or wait for a sale, if you buy reserves for big animals or for Great Ones. The red deer is as large as it gets, and its six Great One species are the same six our best theHunter: Call of the Wild maps table lists for Hirschfelden, which comes free with the base game.

If you skip it, that table points to two safer picks. Emerald Coast is the best rated reserve add-on, at 88% positive, with a long list of species found on no other map. Askiy Ridge Hunting Preserve is the best rated of the recent reserves, at 80% positive with 19 species and six Great Ones.
