Hello Hunters,
We hope you’ve enjoyed the jigsaw puzzle challenge and are as excited about the upcoming DLC release as we are. As many of you have correctly guessed, we will be adding an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) to the theHunter: Call of the Wild! The lucky winners of our Steam competition are Bishop, Xi Law, Harkon[DGA], Climply & djiskool. I will reach out to the winners via Steam.
The ATV has been a highly requested feature in the theHunter franchise for many years, and with the new Apex technology powering theHunter: Call of the Wild, we finally felt that we could do it justice. The brand new Saber 4x4 ATV will be released soon via Steam for $3.99.

An ATV offers the perfect way to traverse the hunting reserves in a fun, yet efficient way. You can, of course, drive it in singleplayer games, but also in multiplayer. Only one player needs to own the DLC for all of you to enjoy it. Before we get into the details, we just want to be clear that we’re still committed to fair and ethical hunting. To that end, you will never be shooting while you’re riding, and you can’t run down animals as you ride. The ATV was designed as a mode of (really fun!) transportation across great distances.
As a gesture of appreciation to our most loyal players, everyone who already owns the “Tents & Ground Blinds” DLC, as well as all the early birds who purchase the brand new 'Mile a minute' DLC bundle (ATV + Tents & Ground Blinds), will receive a 30 percent discount. This is a limited time offer and only available for 7 days after the release of the ATV.
As promised, we also have an exciting update, available to everyone. Together with this new optional DLC, we’ll release Patch 1.8 which will contain the regular bug fixes and performance improvements. Additionally, it contains 6 new outposts per reserve, providing additional fast travel options. This is a tweak that many players have asked for, and we feel it will provide a smoother and more enjoyable experience for everyone, regardless if you decide to get the ATV DLC or not.
We’ll host a pre-release stream later this week where you can check out the ATV in all of its glory - more information will follow in a separate Steam announcement as well as on Twitter.
You can discuss the announcement in our dedicated forum thread.

EDIT: The ATV will cost no currency in-game after purchasing the DLC. You will be able to spawn it in from the shop for free.
