How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea

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

While AI animals in Ecos La Brea might seem easier targets than player-controlled characters, catching them requires skill and patience. This guide provides essential tips for successful AI hunts.

The key to hunting AI is stealth. Utilize your scent tracking ability (press the scent button) to locate nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter appears when you crouch, visually representing the animal's alertness. Movement directly impacts this meter:

• Sprinting: Instantly fills the meter.
• Running: Rapidly fills the meter.
• Trotting: Fills the meter at a moderate rate.
• Walking: The slowest fill rate; ideal for approaching your target.

Approach from upwind for the best chance of a successful hunt. Downwind approaches will spook the animal much faster. A crosswind offers a moderate approach.

Observe the question mark that occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible dramatically increases the fill rate of the alertness meter. Remain completely still until the question mark disappears.

Expect the meter to fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once it runs; their erratic movement requires speed and agility. Open fields, minimizing obstacles, are recommended hunting grounds.

Finally, get extremely close to initiate a bite. Once you've secured your prey, drop and consume it. Repeat this process until you are satisfied.
