How to Hunt AI in Ecos La Brea

Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea can be challenging, despite their seemingly docile nature. Mastering stealth is key. Here's how to successfully track and capture them:

Stealth is Paramount: Use your scent tracking ability (the scent button) to locate nearby AI. Animal icons will appear. Crouching activates a meter that indicates how close you can get before the animal flees.

Movement is Crucial: Your movement speed directly impacts the spook meter. Sprinting fills it instantly, running significantly impacts it, trotting fills it slower, and walking fills it the slowest. Approach slowly, walking as you get closer.

Wind Direction Matters: Approach from upwind for the best stealth. Downwind will spook the animal much faster, with crosswind being somewhere in between.

Reading the Question Mark: A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. If the question mark is visible, the spook meter fills faster. Stop moving completely until it disappears.

The Chase: The spook meter will fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint once the animal flees. They are fast, but sprinting should allow you to catch up. Their movement is unpredictable, so practice is key. Open fields with minimal obstacles are ideal hunting grounds.

The Capture: Get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once you've secured your prey, drop and eat it. Repeat the process to your heart's content.
