How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea

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

While seemingly simpler than tracking player characters, hunting AI in Ecos La Brea requires a keen understanding of stealth mechanics. This guide offers strategies for successful hunts.

The Importance of Stealth: The core principle is stealth. Utilize the scent button to locate nearby AI animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter, visible while crouching, measures the animal's spook level. Movement increases the meter; a full meter triggers the AI's escape.

Movement and Direction: Movement speed significantly impacts the spook meter. Sprinting fills it rapidly, running less so, trotting slower still, and walking the slowest. Approach slowly, walking as you near your target. Wind direction is crucial. Downwind approaches increase spooking, crosswind is moderate, while upwind provides the best approach.

Reading the AI: A question mark above the animal icon indicates increased sensitivity. Halt movement until the question mark disappears to minimize spooking.

The Chase: The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint. AI movement is unpredictable, so practice is key. Open fields minimize obstacles, aiding pursuit.

Securing the Kill: Get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once caught, drop and consume your prey, repeating the process until satiated.
