About Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy
Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy expands the classic arcade hunting formula with over three times the content of its predecessor. Players travel across 27 distinct treks that host 135 hunting sites, each set in vivid global locations and populated by a mix of modern and extinct wildlife.
The title adds a new crossbow, 27 bonus games, split‑screen and online multiplayer, and a fully reimagined trophy room with customizable displays. Full controller support and Steam features such as Remote Play Together round out the experience for both solo and shared play.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hunting Adventures
The game presents nine animal‑focused adventures that span a variety of environments worldwide. Each adventure is broken into multiple treks, and the total of 27 treks leads to 135 unique hunting sites, giving players a broad visual and geographic range.
Beyond the core hunts, 27 bonus games—examples include Pappy’s Moonshine Factory—offer additional objectives that sit alongside the main adventures. These bonus stages provide extra scoring opportunities and diversify the overall play loop.
- Try a full trek before jumping into bonus games to gauge the baseline scoring rhythm.
- Note which environments feel most comfortable for you; returning to them can improve consistency.

Trophy Animals & Critters
Players can hunt a range of trophy animals, including grizzly bears, mountain lions, black panthers, cheetahs, and other iconic species. These large targets contribute significant points when successfully taken.
In addition to trophy animals, more than 48 small‑game critters such as rabbits, coyotes, and crocodiles appear across the sites. Targeting these critters adds extra points and expands the scoring options within each hunt.
- Track which small‑game critters appear in each environment to maximize point pickups.
- Balance time between large trophies and small critters to keep scores steady.

Expanded Weapon Options
The classic shotgun returns as a core weapon, while the new crossbow introduces a different firing mechanic. Both weapons are selectable for any hunt, allowing players to experience distinct timing and aim challenges.
Weapon choice changes the feel of each shot. The crossbow offers an added challenge compared with the shotgun, creating varied gameplay rhythms.
- Start with the shotgun on tougher treks to build confidence before switching to the crossbow.
- Experiment with each weapon on the same site to compare scoring patterns.

Multiplayer Modes
Multiplayer supports both turn‑based and simultaneous play, letting players compete on the same trek. Split‑screen PvP enables direct competition on a shared display, while online options use Steam’s Remote Play Together for remote friends.
All multiplayer sessions work with full controller support, matching the single‑player control scheme. The modes are designed for competitive scoring, whether players alternate turns or hunt side‑by‑side.
- Use turn‑based play to focus on individual accuracy before trying simultaneous matches.
- Remote Play Together can be a quick way to test multiplayer without setting up a second console.

Reimagined Trophy Room
The trophy room has been rebuilt with customizable displays and evolving frames. As players collect new trophies, the room updates to showcase each achievement, providing a visual record of progress.
Customization lets players arrange trophies in ways that suit personal preferences, such as grouping by animal type. The evolving frames serve as visual milestones that reflect the growing collection.
- Arrange trophies by size to quickly see which categories need more attention.
- Observe frame changes as a cue for when you’ve reached a new milestone.
