Introduction

Big Buck Hunter Pro is a port of a coin-operated arcade game of similar name. The gameplay is simple, yet fun. You are tasked with killing the three bucks on each level as they run quickly across the screen and through cover, all the while not shooting does. The game launched with 2 animal types (whitetail deer and elk) and has 6 locations to explore, totaling 30 different levels. There are also some bonus challenge levels where you get to shoot other critters/objects, as well as 4-player pass-and-play multiplayer. The controls for the most part are acceptable, but at times, can blatantly and unexpectedly fail you. For a more in-depth review of the game from WPCentral, click HERE. Currently the game is listed at $2.99 in the Windows Phone Store.

 

Step 1: Miscellaneous achievements (8 for 85 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)

The first step should be completing all of the miscellaneous achievements related to finishing levels and doing them with certain requirements.

 

Step 2: Bonus levels (6 for 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)

There are a total of 6 bonus levels which you need to get 100% accuracy and kill all the animals on. It is best to save these for later after you have become a master of shooting. These will offer you little challenge after killing hundreds of speedy bucks and bulls.

 

Step 3: Kill grinding (6 for 85 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)

Once all of the other achievements are out of the way, you will need to grind to 500 buck/bull kills and also 50 critter kills. This should take around two hours or less.

 

Conclusion

Big Buck Hunter Pro is for the most part an easy completion, as long as touch controls respond good with your phone. It will definitely be easier on a phone with a larger screen. That said, even if the controls are troublesome, it should not take you longer than 6 hours to complete, likely much less.

WARNING: Many users report control issues that make the game significantly more difficult to complete. These issues include, among others, general game lag and sluggishness, faulty hit detection, and failed reloads. It appears to be related to the device you are playing the game on. Newer gen devices seem to work better (i.e. Lumia 900) than older gen devices like the Focus or Trophy.

 

GUIDE

 

GENERAL TIPS:

  • First of all, find a shooting/reloading technique that works for you and your phone. For me, it was holding the phone with two hands, using my dominant index finger to shoot and my non-dominant thumb to reload (kind of like a space bar motion).

  • Reload immediately AFTER shooting, not before shooting.

  • Always try and one-shot kill the first buck/bull as it is usually close and stationary.

  • You CAN shoot through cover to kill animals. Basically the cover is only there to obscure your vision; they do not block bullets.

  • In most cases you can get between 3 and 5 shots off at each buck/bull as it runs across the screen. You only need to hit each animal two of those times to kill it.
  • Always avoid shooting does, as it will end the level immediately.

 

MISCELLANEOUS ACHIEVEMENTS (8 for 85 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)

The following 8 achievements are obtained by completing adventures, some with miscellaneous requirements or tasks. They can be done in single player or multiplayer as the achievements will unlock if ANY player meets the requirements.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP7K80Q=.jpg Bullseye - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Take down a buck or bull with a single heart or head shot

 

To unlock this achievement, you need to kill a buck or bull with a single bullet by hitting it in either the heart or the head. One of the tutorials will show you the kill zones. You will most certainly get this without too much effort. The game's hit detection can be a little finicky. Sometimes hitting them in the head doesn't register as a kill shot. This is especially tricky when going for heart shots. There seems to be a bit of luck involved. Just keep at it...you will get the hang of it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPzYw+0=.jpg 3 Up 3 Down - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill all 3 bucks or bulls in a single site.

 

To unlock this achievement, you need to kill all three of the bucks or bulls on a single site (i.e. level). This is not that difficult as they do run out separately. The easiest way to get kills is just to hit each animal twice. With a good shot/reload technique, you will surely get this in no time.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPip6Zs=.jpg Hunter Hero - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get the highest score for a single site.

 

You will get this achievement after playing your very first level. The game is based around an old arcade game, and following suit it has leaderboards for each site based on the three initials you enter. When you complete any site for the first time, you by default have the highest score and become the "Hunter Hero" for that level, earning this achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP04O34=.jpg Eating Venison Tonight - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete the full Whitetail Adventure.

 

You simply just need to complete the Whitetail Adventure. This can be found from the Main Menu by selecting "3 Treks: Hunting Adventures" and selecting "Whitetail Deer." Just complete all 15 sites from the adventure to unlock this achievement. You do not have to earn any high score or even kill any animals.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPqI4C4=.jpg King of the Hill - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete the full Elk Adventure.

 

You simply just need to complete the Elk Adventure. This can be found from the Main Menu by selecting "3 Treks: Hunting Adventures" and selecting "Elk." Just complete all 15 sites from the adventure to unlock this achievement. You do not have to earn any high score or even kill any animals.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPiSmyU=.jpg The Marksman - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Take down all 3 bucks or bulls, each with a single shot, and have 100% accuracy for the round.

 

This is one of the trickier achievements in the game, not only because of the poor hit detection of the controls, but also because of the luck that is involved in killing bucks/bulls with a single shot. You basically need to kill all three bucks/bulls in a level only firing a total of three shots. You must get single-shot kills on all of them and not miss at all. It is easier to do this on the Elk treks, as they are larger animals and seem to move slower. The British Columbia location seems to be the easiest of the elk levels.

 

Make sure you perfect shot the first elk, which is usually on the screen when you load into the level standing still. Then get the next two with single-shots as they run across the screen. Just remember the kill zones and aim for them. Do not worry too much about this one as it will probably come easily when you are playing the levels over and over to get your 500 kills.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP7xgfo=.jpg Pass it Around - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete a single trek in 4-player multiplayer mode.

From the Main Menu select "1 Trek" and then "4" for the number of players. Finish all five levels of the trek with all four players to unlock this achievement.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP8qC9c=.jpg Cleaned Em Out - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill all 45 bucks or bulls within a single adventure.

 

You need to kill all three bucks or bulls on all 15 sites of an adventure. This is most easily done in the Elk Adventure (Main Menu>3 Treks>Elk), as they are bigger and slower. This achievement should not be that difficult in theory, but because of the shoddy controls, it becomes quite a challenge not to miss a single one out of 45.

 

Fortunately there exists a method to make it easy to obtain. Any time you miss a bull (i.e. it runs off screen), instantly push the Home button on your phone. This will send you back to the Start Screen. Launch the game through it's icon or the Games Hub (don't just push back) and it will boot back up to the Main Menu of the game. From here, click on the "3 Treks" icon and then "Resume Trek." The game will load back up to the beginning of the level you were last on, with your miss having no impact on the achievement. You need to be quick with the button push however, especially if it is the third bull you missed. If it gets too far it will auto-save. Remember, for this achievement you main goal is just to kill every bull quickly, not precisely. Line up the first bull which is stationary with a good shot, then just rapid fire the other two trying to hit them twice each which will kill them.

 

BONUS LEVEL ACHIEVEMENTS (6 for 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)

 

The following 6 achievements are obtained by completing the bonus levels with Double Perfects, meaning you hit all objects/animals and have 100% accuracy. These are most easily done by clicking the "Bonus Only" icon from the Main Menu.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPtTagM=.jpg Party Is Over - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Shoot all jugs and get 100% accuracy in the Pappy's Porch Bonus Game.

 

This is the easiest of the bonus games as the jugs are stationary. Take you time to shoot each one. There are 25 jugs to hit and 24 seconds on the clock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP0LAmI=.jpg Air Pie Marksman - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Shoot all pies and get 100% accuracy in the Pie in the Sky Bonus Game.

 

This is another easy bonus game. Just shoot to cow pies out of the sky. They fly in predictable ways and do not come all that fast. There are 25 cow pies to hit and no actual time limit, other than the time they are on screen.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP--1+M=.jpg Au Revoir Gopher - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Shoot all gophers and get 100% accuracy in the Gopher Garden Bonus Game.

 

This one is a tad more difficult. Just shoot all the gophers as fast as possible as they appear on screen. If you are too slow, they will disappear back into their holes. Try to keep track of the order they pop out as each gopher is on screen for the same amount of time and you should focus on killing those that will disappear soon. There are 25 gophers to hit and no actual time limit, other than the time they are on screen and when the camera shifts around.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP4fL3A=.jpg Foul Play - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Shoot all ducks and get 100% accuracy in the Duck Hunt Bonus Game.

 

This bonus game will bring back memories as it is modeled after the classic NES Duck Hunt game. This one is tricky, but with a little memorization and some quick fingers you will be able get this one. Just take note of which ducks fly fastest and eliminate them first. There are 25 ducks to hit and no actual time limit, other than the time they are on screen.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP0wcNw=.jpg Lonesome Hunter - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Shoot all doves and get 100% accuracy in the Dove Hunt Bonus Game.

 

This is one of the more challenging ones. The doves are very small, there is a lot of them, and they fly fast across the screen. The hit detection seems to be very generous on this level, as if you come anywhere near them with the shot they will die. Focus on killing the doves in the front as they will exit the screen first as they all fly mostly at a constant speed. There are 25 doves to hit and no actual time limit, other than the time they are on screen. See the video below to maybe help perfect your technique.

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF7SUbJZHT4]Big Buck Hunter Pro - Dove Hunt Double Perfect - Foul Play Achievement - YouTube[/ame]

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UP8ReWk=.jpg Fully Croaked - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get a Double Perfect on Frog Flippin'.

 

This bonus game is a little different than the others and is probably the hardest. Frogs will slowly float across the water at the bottom of the screen on lily pads. You need to shoot them once to flip them up, then continue shooting them as they are flying through the air until you hit them a total of 4 times each. There is really no rush on these so take your time. You do not need to be juggling more than one frog at a time in the air. If no frogs are on screen, try to hit the next frog to come as soon as it enters. If you have more than one frog on screen on the lily pads, choose to shoot the one that is closest to going off screen. They seem to all move at the same speed horizontally. There are a total of 10 frogs to hit and there is no time limit other than the time they are on screen. You have to hit each one 4 times, so in total you need to make 40 perfect shots in a row.

CUMULATIVE KILL ACHIEVEMENTS (6 for 85 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)

 

The following 6 achievements are obtained by cumulatively killing a certain number of critters or bucks/bulls. All levels are counted and all kills in single and multiplayer mode are summed.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPtoGL0=.jpg License to Kill - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill 50 critters throughout your adventures.

In each level there will almost always be critters running around that award you extra points when you kill them, which takes just a single shot. Kill a cumulative total of 50 of these critters. These include opossums, wolves, squirrels, birds, and more. Pay attention and you can probably get several critters and all three bucks/bulls in each level. It is however much easier when you are solely focusing on critters.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPqzkpA=.jpg Nice Rack - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill your first buck or bull in any game mode.

 

See "Big Rack Connoisseur."

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPzr+vE=.jpg Feed the Whole Family - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill a total of 25 bucks and bulls across your adventures.

 

See "Big Rack Connoisseur."

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPwNH9k=.jpg Need a Bigger Truck - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill a total of 50 bucks and bulls across your adventures.

 

See "Big Rack Connoisseur."

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPlJEQg=.jpg Feed the Whole State - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill a total of 100 bucks and bulls across your adventures.

 

See "Big Rack Connoisseur."

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2525/UPzr+vE=.jpg Big Rack Connoisseur - 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Kill a total of 500 bucks and bulls across your adventures.

 

All bucks/bulls across all adventures, treks, and multiplayer count towards these achievements. You need to reach a total of 500. The fastest way I found to grind these was to play 1-Trek Elk on British Columbia in 4-player multiplayer mode. Elk are easier to hit then deer and British Columbia is the easiest elk location. Also, playing in 4-player mode reduces loading times and will help you learn the levels as you play them. Depending on your shooting skill, you can earn between 200 and 300 kills per hour with this strategy. After you earn all of the miscellaneous achievements, you will likely still need 300 or more kills. Remember accuracy is not important here. While grinding, focus on rapidly firing at the elk to hit each of them twice to kill them.

 

GUIDE UPDATES:

 

11/2/12 - Guide created and complete.

11/7/12 - Added a video to the Foul Play achievement, as it seems to be the most difficult one by popular vote. Also added a link to the WPCentral review to the Roadmap.

11/12/12 - Added a warning to the Roadmap about the seemingly device-related control/lag issues.

11/28/12 - Changed the Roadmap to reflect the game not being available on Windows Phone 8.

I could use more tips for Dove Hunt. It's the only minigame I can't seem to get my head around. The first batch of doves in particular seems the hardest to hit accurately.

 

I literally havent played the game in a week. Loaded it up to Dove Hunt and double perfected it. I think it has something to do with your phone? Did you try another device? I added a video, but idk if that would help. Seriously, I swear though they are small, you only need to hit the screen in their general area. Look at the video.

Yeah, it definitely doesn't work that way on my phone. The general area won't cut it at all. Seems like an odd issue... But I can try it on a Lumia 920 tomorrow, I guess.

Doesn't work this way on my Samsung Focus either.The real issue is when the game fails to recognize that you're trying to reload.The screen is small on the Samsung focus,and the doves will be off screen by the time you can nail 4 of them.I can get 18/25.Will keep trying,but I think the type of device makes a difference,and unfortunately I don't have a different WP to play it on.Last mini game I need.

I contacted microsoft studios to see if they would or have tested the game across all makes of WP's.There's also a bit of lag on Elk hunts,and the hit detection can be off sometimes.

After some investigation, it seems to be a device-specific issue. I have the feeling that more powerful handsets can probably handle it better. We'll see once the game is patched to work with WP8, since those are way more powerful.

What type of investigation did you do? Just wondering so I can add it to the guide in some way. Was it devices with smaller screens are trouble? Almost all devices have similar processors/ram right so it shouldn't be that?

Getting closer on the doves,can get 23/25 when the gun reload function works properly,which may be like once out of every 30 attempts.It's easy to memorize the doves and know where to shoot after a bunch of replays.Just wish the gun reload would work smoothly for me.It was also an issue during the gopher,ducks and frog flippin mini games,it gets really bad when there's alot of targets moving on the screen at once,or when you try to reload in rapid sucession.I'll get it eventually,but it'd sure be nice to have the shoot/reload system function as smoothly as what I watched in video.(I tried it with the wifi/3G data turned off and it made no difference)

My opinion is just based on what I read from forums and my own experience. On the Samsung Focus, the minigame definitely runs like crap. But it seems to run decently for some people, probably on 2nd-gen or later WP7 handsets like the Lumia 900. We won't have a definitive answer until one individual tries it out on multiple handsets, but my theory seems to be correct.

Finally just got the dove one done,only took around 300 attempts.Way more painful on a Samsung focus than it should have been.Yeah,runs bad on my focus,which is around 6months old.Too much lag,jerky motion,and serious gun reload issues,the more animals on the screen the worse it is.

I noticed it runs better when you first start up phone,but quickly gets worse the longer you play it.Hopefully they'll put a fix out for other players who are having issues with the game.

Good guide as always. :woop:

 

Now that MS has forced the developer to pull the game from the marketplace, I don't see a fix coming. A pity for those with phone issues.

 

I know this is a shame. I wish I still had my old Omnia 7 or Focus to try it on to see the differnce. If you played it on a Lumia 900 I think you would be shocked how smooth it is.

 

Ok after some trials. I sat down at work yesterday on break and got the double perfect on frog flippen first try. Finally got the lonesome dove done as well. I have the HTC arrive (I think that is the name) while the video didn't work exactly for me it helped. Thanks for the guide +1 from me.

 

Glad you got it. I am not exactly sure if a video is at all helpful, but there is not much else I can add to that without experiencing the lag issues myself. Can you offer any tips after getting it that can be added to the guide?

Are you saying when first start up the game it runs okay, but as you play it gets worse? Or do you literally mean turn on your phone like you mention? As in, if it was laggy, you could power cycle your phone and get it to run smooth temporarily again. If so, that is a good tip for others with the issues.

the video was helpful to me anyway to show the pace you need to shoot but for 2 sections the front birds move up or down I forget which ones. I just waited for them to move before shooting them. As for the frogs it's more of a rhythm also don't wait to see the frog before shooting because odds are you will miss.

Sorry it took so long to reply Arsenic,been busy with alot of games.Lag got worse the more I played,one thing that did help lag was having phone plugged into it's recharge power cord,that helped alot with the lag on elk hunts.As for the reload issue,it was also horrible during regular hunts,however,cycling phone off for a while gave it a brief sort of fix and may have helped to finally finish mini games,ducks,gophers,doves being the worst on reloading gun.I have a friend on TA complaining of same problem,she plays on different WP. I just got the new Nokia lumia 920,and wow,blows my Samsung focus away as far as smooth touch screen.
