Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, even more so than pursuing player characters. Here's a guide to successful AI hunting:
Mastering Stealth in Ecos La Brea
Movement speed directly impacts this meter. Sprinting fills it instantly; running significantly affects it; trotting fills it more slowly; walking fills it slowest and is the preferred approach as you close in. Wind direction is crucial: downwind spooks animals faster, crosswind is moderate, while upwind is ideal.
Observe the question mark above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling. Halt movement until it disappears.
The Chase and the Catch
The meter will fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint when it runs; their erratic movement requires quick reflexes. Open fields with minimal obstacles improve your chances.
Get very close to bite your prey. Once caught, drop and eat it, repeating the process until satiated.
