Bult: Hunting Simulator

Bult: Hunting Simulator is a hunting game set in grounds inspired by Yakutia, Siberia. You scout a location, prepare a blind and decoy spread, work a flock, take your shot and retrieve the bird. The hunt depends on preparation and observation as well as marksmanship: wind, weather, time of day, concealment and your setup all affect whether birds approach, change course or flare away.

Read the birds

Waterfowl and upland birds use Bayanay AI, named after the Yakut forest spirit and patron of hunters. Flocks search for feeding grounds, change their flight paths and respond to weather and your presence rather than following fixed routes. Study their habits to decide when to stay still, relocate or stop calling.

Every bird vocalization was recorded in the field during real expeditions. You can use sound to judge a bird’s direction and distance before seeing it, but birds can also hear you: a careless splash or heavy step can give away your position.

Prepare your setup

Choose a shotgun, shells, camouflage and boat for the hunt. Find a promising spot, brush in your blind and arrange decoys to draw passing flocks within range. Calls can attract attention, but they cannot compensate for a poor setup.

Take and recover your shot

Distance, shot size and lead all affect the outcome. Misjudging range or timing can mean a clean miss or a wounded bird. A crippled duck may dive, swim away or disappear into thick reeds, so you need to act quickly to retrieve it.

Hunt in Yakutia

Explore misty marshes, sprawling lakeshores and rugged grounds inspired by Yakutia’s landscapes. Dynamic weather and lighting change visibility, bird flight patterns and shooting conditions. Mosquitoes can also drown out the sound of approaching wings if you forget your bug spray.

Several bird species in the region are protected. You need to identify birds in flight before shooting; harvesting a protected species costs you hunter reputation.

Game modes and equipment

The game includes Free Hunt and BET modes, where you can test your skills and build your standing. Its hunting grounds support both waterfowl and upland game, and the available species include mallards, teal, greater scaup, geese, hazel grouse, shovelers and wigeons.

Your kit includes shotguns and varied loads, decoys, mouth calls, a boat, camouflage, waders and other field gear. Bird behavior is paired with physics-based shotgun ballistics, in which pellet spread, velocity and range matter.
