How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea

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

While seemingly easier than hunting player characters, tracking down AI animals in Ecos La Brea requires skill and patience. This guide provides essential tips for successful AI hunts.

The key to successful AI hunting is stealth. Utilize your in-game scent tracking ability (press the scent button) to locate nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. A crucial element is crouching; this activates a meter that shows how close you are to alarming the AI.

Movement significantly impacts the meter. Sprinting fills it instantly, running greatly affects it, trotting fills it slower, and walking is the slowest and most ideal approach as you close in. Consider the wind direction: downwind spooks the animal faster, crosswind is moderate, while upwind offers the best approach.

Pay close attention to the AI itself. A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling; stop moving until it disappears.

Expect the meter to fill before reaching the AI. Be ready to sprint once it runs; their speed is considerable, but sprinting should allow you to catch up. AI movement is unpredictable; practice in open fields minimizes obstacles hindering your pursuit.

To secure your prey, get extremely close to initiate a bite. After the kill, drop and consume the animal. Repeat the process until satiated.
