Missions[]

Main article: Layton Lake District Missions

The Layton Lake District has 98 total missions: 28 main missions and 70 side missions. Unlike most other reserve storylines (which usually revolve around the reserve warden's family, crimes committed on the reserve, conservation efforts, etc.), the Layton Lake District's main storyline lacks any overarching plot and is instead a set of unrelated tasks involving bagging certain game in certain ways and taking photos of places and animals.

Transcript: "The perfect hunting experience... Well, there's just about as many opinions on that as there are hunters. Some love the beech forests and farmlands of a place like Hirschfelden, but me, I prefer a different kind of wild - where snow covered peaks surround valleys several miles wide. That is Layton Lake District, the best hunting reserve you'll find in a hundred miles. Whether doing tasks for the locals or just hunting to your heart's content, you're free to explore this Pacific Northwest reserve however you want. You may find your favorite hunting spot along a large valley lake or deep inside a dense spruce forest. Layton Lake District is home to some of the most majestic animals in the wild like the Moose, the Black Bear and the mighty Roosevelt Elk. Bagging one of these will require a combination of the right equipment, skillful tracking, and stalking so you can get close enough for a clean shot. Few things beat hunting together with a group of friends though. Everyone can bring their own skills and hunting equipment and play a part in finding and downing that big one. In the end, how, what, and where you wanna hunt is all up to you, and a truly immersive next generation hunting experience awaits!"

Trivia[]

Layton Lake District was called "the most played reserve" of 2021.
Small, unhuntable birds can be found all over Layton Lake District, making it one of two maps (the other being Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve) to have a strictly ambient animal. Prior to the removal of weasels from the game, Medved-Taiga National Park also featured an ambient animal.
