Successful AI hunting relies heavily on stealth. Use the scent button to locate nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. A meter will appear when you crouch, showing how close you are to spooking the animal. Movement fills this meter; the faster you move, the faster it fills.

Movement and Direction:

Your movement speed significantly impacts your success. Sprinting instantly fills the meter, running has a large effect, trotting is slower, and walking is the slowest and most effective method as you approach. Wind direction also matters. Downwind approaches spook animals quickly, crosswind is moderate, while upwind is ideal.

Reading the AI:

A question mark above the animal icon indicates increased sensitivity. Stop moving until it disappears to avoid spooking your target. Even with careful movement, the meter will likely fill before you reach the animal. Be ready to sprint once it runs.

The Chase and the Kill:

Sprint to catch the fleeing AI. Their movement is unpredictable, so practice is key. Open fields with minimal obstacles are recommended. Get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once you've caught your prey, drop and eat it, repeating the process until you're satisfied.
