Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea: Mastering Stealth and Tracking

While seemingly easier than hunting player-controlled creatures, hunting AI in Ecos La Brea requires finesse. Success hinges on mastering stealth and understanding animal behavior. Here's how to effectively track and capture your prey:

The Importance of Stealth:

Your primary tool is your sense of smell. Activate your scent button to reveal nearby animals as icons. A crucial element is crouching, which activates a spook meter. This meter indicates how close you are to alarming the animal; movement directly impacts its rate of filling.

  • Movement Speed: Sprinting instantly fills the meter. Running significantly affects it, trotting less so, and walking provides the slowest fill rate. Approach cautiously, walking as you get closer.

  • Wind Direction: Downwind approaches will spook animals quickly. Crosswind offers a moderate approach, while upwind is ideal for minimizing detection.

  • Question Mark Indicator: A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. If the question mark is present, any movement will rapidly fill the spook meter. Remain motionless until it disappears.

The Chase and Capture:

The spook meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once the animal flees. AI animals move erratically, so open fields with minimal obstacles offer the best hunting grounds.

To successfully capture the animal, you must get extremely close to initiate a bite. After the kill, drop and consume your prey, repeating the process until satiated.
