How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea

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

While seemingly easier than pursuing player-controlled creatures, hunting AI in Ecos La Brea requires skillful stealth. Here’s a guide to successful AI hunting:

The Importance of Stealth:

Your primary tool is your sense of smell. Activate the scent button to reveal nearby AI animals as icons. A crucial element is crouching, which displays a meter indicating the animal's spook level. Movement directly impacts this meter:

• Sprinting: Meter fills rapidly.
• Running: Significant meter increase.
• Trotting: Slower meter fill.
• Walking: Slowest meter fill; ideal for close approaches.

Wind Direction and AI Behavior:

Wind direction significantly affects detection:

• Downwind: Animals spook quickly.
• Crosswind: Moderate spooking.
• Upwind: Optimal approach; minimizes spooking.

Observe the AI icons. A question mark occasionally appears above an icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling. Remain stationary until it disappears.

The Chase and Capture:

Expect the meter to fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint; AI animals are fast, but sprinting allows for pursuit. Their movement is unpredictable, so practice is key. Open fields with minimal obstacles offer the best hunting grounds.

To capture, get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once secured, drop and consume your prey. Repeat the process until satiated.
