theHunter: Primal is a 2015 hunting simulator first-person shooter developed by Expansive Worlds and Avalanche Studios, a spin-off of their video game series theHunter. This game is set on a prehistoric world where the player must defend themselves from a variety of dinosaurs. The player loots the game world and can find several different weapons and firearms to use.
Most of the firearms in the game are reskinned models from theHunter: Classic.
The following weapons appear in the video game TheHunter: Primal:
Handguns
Taurus Raging Bull
The Taurus Raging Bull appears as the ".44 Disciplinary Handgun".
Unlike its real-life counterpart, this gun only holds 5 rounds of .44 magnum in its cylinder, and is only usable in single action.
The .44 Disciplinary Handgun is the same model with a modified texture used for theHunter's .454 Revolver (El Toro).
This firearm is quite commonly found around the island, along with its .44 ammunition and attachable Handgun Scope. It is best used against Raptors, as a single shot will easily kill Velociraptors, and a well placed chest shot can take down a Utahraptor. It is also quite effective against other Pioneers.
"Small but potent. Though it will not kill big beasts it will surely kill the smaller ones, like humans. For this is a killer's weapon. It is wise to remember that." (In-Game Description)
Thompson Center Arms Contender
The Thompson Center Arms Contender appears as the ".308 Dueling Handgun".
The weapon's model is directly ported from theHunter's .308 Rival.
"This innovative single-shot weapon combines the mobility of a handgun with the power of a hunting rifle. Amazing technological advancements have produced a weapon that is compact enough to be carried in a regular small weapons holster while capable of firing full sized .308 rounds. Suitable for both medium and big game." (In-Game Description)
Rifles
Remington 700
The Remington 700 appears as the ".308 Marksman Rifle".
"This is a good weapon. It has been on this world for a long time. It has had many owners. It had killed many, both beast and human. If you lose it, it might kill you one day." (In-Game Description)
Keppeler KS V Bullpup Sniper
The Keppeler KS V Bullpup Sniper appears as the ".308 Anti-Personnel Rifle".
"In the wars between the Houses this rifle took many lives. It still oozes from the anger of those days." (In-Game Description)
Barrett M82A1M
A heavy, bolt action .50 BMG sniper rifle based on the Barrett M82A1M appears as the ".50 Sniper Rifle". While the in game weapon is obviously modeled after a semi-automatic weapon, it is depicted as a straight-pull bolt action instead. This very large weapon can only be found at the Mt. Sisyphus Research Station at the top of the island's volcano. Its .50 ammo can be found elsewhere, however. This rifle has a magazine capacity of five rounds.
"This is a coward's weapon. For those who fear the heat of battle but want to affect it. You will probably not hear this weapon being fired at you - because when the sound reaches your ears you are most likely already dead." (In-Game Description)
Holland & Holland Double Rifle
A double rifle based on the Holland & Holland Double Rifle appears as ".700 Double Rifle".
A hefty and rare weapon that can only be found at Crown Settlements. It will easily take down almost any animal with one shot with the exception of the Tyrannosaurus, which can be killed with 2 or more well placed shots. It fires .700 Nitro Express ammunition, despite the in-game model being that of .50 BMG. The weapon model itself is taken from one of theHunter's side-by-side 12 Gauge shotguns.
"The Great Hunters used these powerful weapons. Well, the less-than-great of the Great Hunters anyway: The ones that died while trying to prove themselves to their noble kin. Hang on to this weapon if you find it. It is rare and can kill anything." (In-Game Description)
"5.56 Assault Rifle"
A lightweight automatic rifle with a magazine capacity of 20 rounds of 5.56 ammo, and featuring an integral holographic sight. This weapon can only be obtained through killing the Primal Rex, or in the spawn store after killing the Primal Rex and unlocking it.
A custom designed model for the game, it is colored black with green/yellow camouflage paint on the lower receiver. The overall shape of the weapon shares similarities with the Kriss Vector. A non-reciprocating charging handle is on the left side of the gun. It has a foldable, thumbhole stock and picatinny rail on the top of the upper receiver and under the handguard. Its iron sights are folded down, with an unremovable holographic sight very similar to an EOTECH attached to the top rail.
"At some point the professional hunters realized that savagery needs to be dealt with using savage weapons." (In-Game Description)
Shotguns
12 GA Crowd Control Shotgun (Remington 870)
The "12 Gauge Crowd Control Shotgun" model is recycled from theHunter Classic's "12 GA Pump-Action", which is modeled after the Remington 870. theHunter Classic later added the :12 GA Pump-Action (Primal)" to their store in reference to the game. This pump-action shotgun has black polymer furniture and a six round tube magazine, capable of being loaded with both 12 Gauge Buckshot and Slugs. An attachable "Red Eye Shotgun Sight" can be found as well. This gun commonly spawns at Research Stations, Military Bases, and Crown Settlements. It it quite effective against almost all dinosaurs in the game. Buckshot easily takes down Velociraptors, Utahraptors and Quetzalcoatlus, while slugs will do considerable damage to Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus.
"As far as it is known, this gun was used to herd people to this world. To make them comply in an orderly fashion. These days the gun is mainly used for hunting because there are not enough people to herd on this world anymore." (In-Game Description)
"12 GA Riot Shotgun"
This gun can only be found when looting the world, it cannot be bought in the spawn store.
"Every now and then there would be great uprisings. Then the uprisings would be drowned in rivers of blood." (In-Game Description)
Bows and Crossbows
Wooden Bow
"The bow will perhaps help you bring in meat. The bow will help protect your meat from others. However, if these others have teeth larger than the arrowheads you fire at them, it is unlikely the bow will stop you from becoming meat yourself." (In-Game Description)
Talon Hunting Bow
This bow and its arrows can only be found when looting the world, it cannot be bought in the spawn store.
"The Powerful used this weapon not to hunt the Beasts, but to hunt the less fortunate. Every year men were released from pens and the Great Hunters would pick them off silently one by one." (In-Game Description)

"When the Beasts proved too savage to hunt for sport, professional hunters arrived carrying silent weapons." (In-Game Description)
