Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, but with the right approach, you'll succeed. Stealth is paramount. Here's how to master the hunt:
Tracking and Approach:
Use the scent button to locate nearby AI animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter shows how close you can get before startling them. Movement speed directly impacts this meter: sprinting fills it rapidly, running significantly affects it, trotting less so, and walking is the slowest and best option for a close approach. Approach from upwind for the best stealth; downwind will spook them quickly.
A question mark above the animal icon indicates increased detection risk. Halt movement until the question mark disappears before proceeding.
The Chase:
The meter will fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once they flee. AI animals move erratically, so open fields offer the best hunting grounds.
Capture and Consumption:
Get very close to initiate a bite. Once captured, drop and eat your prey. Repeat the hunting process until satisfied.
