Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea: Mastering Stealth and Pursuit
While seemingly easier targets than player-controlled characters, hunting AI in Ecos La Brea requires a strategic approach emphasizing stealth. This guide provides key tips for successful AI hunts.
The Importance of Stealth:
Tracking AI relies heavily on scent. Activate your scent button to reveal nearby animals as icons. A crucial element is crouching, activating a meter that indicates how close you can get before the animal flees. Movement directly impacts this meter.
Movement and Wind Direction:
Your movement speed significantly affects the spook meter. Sprinting fills it instantly, running has a large impact, trotting is slower, and walking is the least disruptive. Approach from upwind for the best results; downwind will spook the animal quickly, while crosswind is a moderate approach.
Reading AI Behavior:
A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. If the question mark is visible, movement will accelerate the meter's filling. Halt movement until the question mark disappears.
The Chase:
The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once it flees. AI movement is unpredictable, so practice in open areas with minimal obstacles for clear sightlines.
Securing the Kill:
Get extremely close to initiate a bite. After the kill, drop and consume your prey, then repeat the hunting process as needed.
