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

While seemingly simpler than hunting player characters, tracking down AI animals in Ecos La Brea requires a strategic approach. This guide provides essential tips for successful AI hunts.

The cornerstone of successful AI hunting is stealth. Utilize the scent button to detect nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. A crucial meter appears when crouched; this meter reflects how quickly an animal will be spooked, filling as you move. A full meter triggers the AI's escape.

Movement is key. Sprinting instantly fills the meter, while running significantly impacts it. Trotting slows the fill rate, and walking is the slowest and most effective approach as you close in. Wind direction also matters; downwind approaches spook animals faster, crosswind is moderate, and upwind is optimal.

Observe the AI's behavior. A question mark periodically appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling; cease movement until it disappears.

Expect the AI to flee before you reach it. Prepare to sprint; while AI animals are swift, sprinting should allow you to catch up. Their erratic movement patterns require practice; open fields minimize obstacles, improving your chances.

To secure your prey, approach extremely closely to initiate a bite. After the kill, drop and consume the animal. Repeat this hunting cycle to your satisfaction.
