Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, despite their seemingly docile nature. Mastering stealth is key. Here's a guide to successful AI hunting.
How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea
Screenshot by The EscapistStealth is paramount. Use your in-game scent tracker (press the scent button) to locate nearby AI animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter appears when crouching, showing how close you can get before spooking the animal. Movement directly impacts this meter.
The closer you get, the more crucial movement speed becomes. Sprinting instantly fills the meter, while running significantly impacts it. Trotting is less disruptive, and walking is the least likely to alert the AI. Approach from upwind for the best results; downwind will quickly spook the animal, with crosswind being a middle ground.
Pay close attention to the AI's behavior. A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible drastically increases the meter's fill rate. Remain stationary until it disappears.
The meter will likely fill before reaching the AI. Be ready to sprint once it runs; AI animals are fast, but sprinting will allow you to keep pace. Their movements are unpredictable, so practice is essential. Open fields with minimal obstacles offer the best hunting grounds.
Finally, to capture the animal, get extremely close to initiate a bite. After securing your prey, drop and consume it. Repeat this process until satiated.
