Hunt Helper - Gamepad Fast Travel

OVERVIEW

Hunt Helper follows the progress of all 45 normal and elite hunts. It can guide you to the next relevant location, return you to a saved position, and show an estimated overview of available, completed, and not-yet-available hunts.

The mod supports English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. It detects the language used by the game automatically, and a manual language selector is also available at the bottom of Mod Config. Hunt names use the localized names from each version of the game.
