Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, but with the right tactics, you can succeed. Stealth is paramount. This guide offers strategies for successfully tracking and capturing these elusive creatures.
Mastering the Hunt:
Your primary tool is your sense of smell. Activate the scent button to locate nearby AI animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter appears when you crouch, showing how close you are to startling the animal. Movement fills this meter.
- Movement Speed: Sprinting instantly fills the meter. Running significantly impacts it. Trotting fills it slower, while walking is the slowest and best approach as you close in.
- Wind Direction: Approaching downwind will quickly spook the animal. Crosswind is moderate, while upwind is ideal.
- Question Mark Indicator: A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling. Stop moving until it disappears.
The Chase:
The meter will fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint when it flees; its erratic movement requires quick reflexes. Open fields minimize obstacles and improve your chances.
Securing the Kill:
Get extremely close to initiate the bite. After capturing your prey, drop and consume it. Repeat the process until satisfied.
