AI Sighted in La Brea

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

While you might assume AI animals are easier targets than players in Ecos La Brea, they present a unique challenge. Success hinges on stealth. This guide offers key strategies for a successful hunt.

The cornerstone of AI hunting is stealth. Use your scent button to locate nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. A crucial element is crouching, which activates a meter showing how quickly the animal will be spooked. Movement directly impacts this meter.

Movement and Meter Management:

• Sprinting: Instantly fills the meter. Avoid this.
• Running: Significantly impacts the meter. Use sparingly.
• Trotting: A slower fill rate. Use cautiously as you approach.
• Walking: The slowest fill rate, ideal for the final approach.

Wind Direction:

Your approach direction significantly affects the animal's alertness.

• Downwind: The animal will spook much faster.
• Crosswind: A moderate risk.
• Upwind: The optimal approach direction.

The Question Mark:

A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. If you move while the question mark is visible, the meter fills faster. Remain still until it disappears.

The Chase:

The meter will fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once it flees. AI animals are fast, but sprinting should allow you to catch them. Their movement is unpredictable, so practice is key. Open fields, minimizing obstacles, are recommended hunting grounds.

Capturing and Consuming:

Get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once you’ve secured your prey, drop and eat it. Repeat this cycle until satiated.
