In other words, it allows you to continue searching for your next target without interruption. But perhaps more importantly, it’s a loyal, paw-lite friend to share the joy of hunting with; a reliable partner who has your back. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27000850/6a04c706a309da4f4caea895c6f13eca3624864b.jpg Similar to the Bloodhound, you can grow your connection to your Lab by petting it, giving it treats, or playing with it. In turn, as you get to know each other and hunt more often, its efficiency will improve over time. Naturally, even the best hunters deserve a break every now and then. When it’s time to head back to the lodge for an evening of relaxing, you can count on your trusty sidekick to be there with you, happily wagging its tail. Of course, you will be able to name your dog, choose its fur coat variation, and assign traits that match your hunting style. You can also add multiple dogs to your roster, making it easy to pick which one to hunt with. It is available as both male and female in seven unique fur coat variations: Black, Yellow, Chocolate, Silver, Charcoal, Fox Red, and Champagne. Lastly, as we continue to refine dog behavior and plan for future dog utility improvements, we will be adjusting the Bloodhound DLC price to $5.99 early next year to match the Labrador Retriever.
