Hunting in Dinkum
Dinkum also has an activity where you must battle numerous creatures on the island. The beasts cannot be defeated with your bare hands. You’ll need hunting weapons and the ability to protect and defeat the animals.
In this game, you cannot simply buy weapons; you must build them on your crafting station after obtaining the weapon’s recipes. Only the Basic Axe is a tool that may be purchased, but it cannot be used to protect oneself.
You must purchase the Hunting License level 1 to obtain the weapon recipes. You will be charged 250 Permit Points for this licence. The Level 1 license unlocks the recipes for Basic Weapons, which you can purchase from Franklyn.
Basic weapons include the Basic Hammer, Basic Spear, and Basic Bat. You may gather the recipe’s materials and craft them on your crafting station. The following materials are required for the Basic Weapons.
Basic Hammer | 1 Gum Wood Plank 3 Tin Bars |
Basic Spear | 1 Gum Wood Plank 1 Tin Bar |
Wooden Bat | 1 Gum Wood Plank 2 Spinafex Resin |
These Basic Weapons will get you through the early game, but as you go, the creatures you encounter will become tougher, and these weapons will cause less damage to them. To access the Copper Weapons recipes, you must purchase the Hunting License Level 2 from Fletch.
Level 2 will require a Hunting level of 10 and 1000 Permit Points. As you kill animals during your playtime, your hunting level will rise. After obtaining the level 2 License, you will be able to purchase Franklyn’s Copper weapons recipes and build them on your crafting station. The Copper Weapons require the following components.
Copper Hammer | 1 Gum Wood Plank 3 Copper Bars |
Copper Spear | 1 Gum Wood Plank 2 Copper Bars |
Copper Teeth Bat | 1 Copper Bar 2 Spinafex Resin 2 Crocodile Teeth 2 Hard Wood Planks |
The Copper Weapons will get you through the mid-game, while the Iron Weapons, which are the elite weapons in this game, will get you through the end-game. After purchasing the Hunting License Level 3, the recipes for these weapons will be unlocked. You must have Hunting Level 20, and the license costs 3000 Permit Points.
After purchasing it from Fletch, you will be able to purchase the Iron Weapons recipes from Franklyn. You’ll be able to build the Iron Weapons on your crafting station once you’ve obtained the recipes. The following components are required for the Iron Weapons.
Iron Hammer | 2 Hard Wood Planks 3 Iron Bars |
Iron Spear | 1 Palm Wood Plank 2 Iron Bars |
Flaming Bat | 1 Iron Bar 2 Spinafex Resin 2 Flame Sacs 2 Hard Wood Planks |
The Iron weapons will assist you in defeating all of the island’s Alpha Animals in the late game. More game updates may be found in our Dinkum Guide.
