How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea

Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, despite their seemingly simpler nature compared to player-controlled characters. Mastering stealth is paramount. Here's a guide to successful AI hunting:

Essential Hunting Techniques

The core principle is stealth. Utilize the scent button to locate nearby AI animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter appears when you crouch, showing how quickly an animal will be alerted by your movement.

This meter fills faster with faster movement: sprinting fills it almost instantly, running significantly impacts it, trotting less so, and walking is the slowest. Approach slowly, walking as you near your target.

Wind Direction and AI Behavior

Wind direction significantly impacts detection. Moving downwind increases the animal's alertness, while crosswind is moderate. Approach from upwind for the best chance of stealth.

Observe the AI. A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates the meter's filling. Remain stationary until it disappears.

The Chase and Capture

Expect the meter to fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once it flees. AI movement is erratic, so practice is key. Open fields with minimal obstacles improve your chances.

To capture the animal, get extremely close to initiate a bite. Drop and eat your prey, repeating the process until satisfied.
