AI in Ecos La Brea: Unveiling the Hunting Secrets

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

While you might assume AI animals in Ecos La Brea are easier targets than player-controlled ones, they present a unique challenge. Mastering stealth is key to a successful hunt. Here's how to effectively track and capture these elusive creatures.

The cornerstone of AI hunting is stealth. Use your sense of smell – activate the scent button to reveal nearby animals as icons on your screen. While tracking, crouching displays a meter that indicates how quickly the animal will be spooked. Movement directly impacts this meter.

The speed of your approach is crucial. Sprinting instantly fills the meter, while running significantly accelerates it. Trotting is slower, and walking is the most stealthy option for close approaches. Furthermore, consider the wind direction. Approaching downwind will spook the animal quicker; crosswind is a middle ground, but approaching upwind is ideal.

Pay close attention to the AI itself. A question mark intermittently appears above the animal icon. Moving while the question mark is visible dramatically increases the meter's fill rate. Remain completely still until it disappears.

Even with careful approach, the meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be prepared to sprint once the animal flees; they are fast, but sprinting should allow you to catch up. AI movement is unpredictable, so practice in open areas with minimal obstacles will improve your success rate.

To secure your prey, get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once captured, drop and eat the animal, repeating the process until satiated.
