In Hunting Season, the open-world hunting simulator developed by Josima Studios on Roblox, the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) serves as the primary motorized transport. Because reserves like Boulder Creek, Africa Savannah, and Severnaya Taiga span vast distances, walking between outposts can take substantial time. The ATV allows hunters to navigate large open maps quickly, reach distant lodges, and recover downed game.
ATV Options: Session Rental vs. Permanent Gamepass
Players can acquire an ATV through two different methods: temporary session rental with in-game currency or permanent ownership through a Roblox gamepass.
| Option | Cost | Requirement | Duration | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session Rental | 10,000 Cash | Player Level 25 | Active session only | Outposts and discoverable lodges |
| Permanent ATV Gamepass | 399 Robux | None | Lifetime access | All map outposts |
Session Rental
For players who prefer not to spend Robux, the vehicle spawn terminal at cabins allows a session rental for a 10,000 in-game cash fee. Unlocking this rental option requires reaching hunter Level 25. Once purchased, the vehicle remains available as long as the player stays on that server. Leaving or disconnecting ends the rental, requiring another 10,000 payment in the next session.
Permanent ATV Gamepass
The Permanent ATV gamepass costs 399 Robux on the Roblox platform. Purchasing this gamepass bypasses the in-game currency cost and the level threshold, granting lifetime access to spawn an ATV at any discovered outpost or hunting lodge across all maps.
ATV Controls, Speed, and Mechanics
Operating the ATV requires specific input mechanics and awareness of vehicle physics:
- Starting the Engine: Approach the ATV and press the interact prompt to mount. Players must hold the F key to start the ignition and engage the gears. Tapping the key once will not turn the engine on.
- Speed Limits: The dashboard speedometer displays a scale up to 35, though observed cruising speeds typically cap around 30.
- Terrain Handling: Updates have improved ATV hill climbing over steep grades. When traversing rocky hills or uneven terrain, the vehicle can tip over, but it automatically rolls back onto its wheels.
- Seating Capacity: The ATV supports two riders, allowing cooperative partners to travel together across the reserve.
- Cosmetics: Players can select custom paint colors for their ATV through the vehicle interface menu.
Hunting Impact and Wildlife Detection
Using a vehicle alters how animals react to player movement across the hunting grounds.
Noise Generation and Spooking Game
The ATV produces substantial sound while moving. As the vehicle accelerates, the noise meter in the bottom-right corner flashes red, indicating high audible disturbance. Approaching herds of moose, deer, or coyotes on an ATV will spook them from considerable distances, causing them to scatter into dense brush or tree cover. Hunters generally park their vehicle several hundred yards away from known animal locations and continue their approach on foot.
Mounted Tracking
Hunters do not need to dismount to inspect clues. Clues and animal footprints along trails can be analyzed directly while seated on the ATV, allowing players to verify whether tracks are fresh before getting off to pursue prey.
Interaction with Hunting Dogs
While hunting dogs can be called in to track blood trails, dogs cannot ride on the ATV. When the player drives across the map, summoned dogs follow behind on foot or path toward the player when recalled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can animals be damaged by hitting them with the ATV?
Colliding with wildlife using the vehicle does not reliably harvest game. Hunting progression and trophy ratings require taking down animals using rifles or handguns.
Does the session ATV transfer between servers?
No. The 10,000 cash fee provides access strictly for the single active game session. Rejoining a new server resets vehicle access unless the player owns the 399 Robux Permanent ATV pass.
Where can the ATV be spawned?
ATVs can be spawned at primary reserve outposts and unlocked lodges across discovered map regions, such as Theodoree's Lodge, Pinewood, or the Africa Savannah spawn posts.
