Hunting Lodge Rifle

The Hunting Lodge Rifle is the unofficial name given to a Tool simply named Hunting Rifle that was found in Episode 2: Luminance Fugue of the Wintermute story mode as part of the mission You Fix My Rifle?. It is considered Cut/Discontinued Content, as it did not survive the transition from Predux Episode 2 to Redux Episode 2, as the item located where the Hunting Lodge Rifle was found would be replaced by the Broken Bear Spear.

Overview[]

It serves as a reskinned version of the Hunting Rifle, with a silver engraving of 2 Deer, 2 wraps of tape at the end of the barrel, and a large wrap of tape on the stock. It was obtained when exploring the Hunting Lodge in Broken Railroad, just above the Fireplace of the first floor. Jeremiah's Repaired Rifle would later be returned to Jeremiah and Will Mackenzie would keep the Hunting Lodge Rifle as his own Hunting Rifle for the rest of the episode.

The Hunting Lodge Rifle's design changes to a regular Hunting Rifle when the cutscene of Mackenzie finding it plays, as well as any other cutscene with Mackenzie holding the rifle. It also takes the appearance a regular Hunting Rifle in first person.

Only the backpack icon, the 3D model in the menu, and placing the rifle on the ground shows the unique design.

Trivia[]

Many features of the Hunting Lodge Rifle would later be recycled into the Curator's Rifle (silver engravings became gold engravings) and Vaughn's Rifle (tape around the barrel and stock).
