PC Hunting and Tracking after succ hit

[saoron666]

If I stay stealthed and preferably use a bow to clear away the zombies the rabbit won't go anywhere (in the majority of cases). Most of the time it is only 1 zombie that is near the rabbit, it is not neccessary to clear the whole area.l

Im not sure you ever did any hunting in the game or which version you playing..

but if you play a sitting duck and try to be stealth and take out zombies, that rabbit or wtv you hunting is looong gone my friend!!

i have tried many times, and when you get close enough to see the green marking on top of your screen, if you sit there for 3-5sec it is gone!

it walks away..

there is no pray that just sits there for you to go and take your time shooting zombies and clearing the way and then aim at it..

i think you should go ahead and try it out.

and i am also playing the game on insane mode, and nonetheless most of the time there was always more than 1 zombie near by.

AND also depends Where you hunting! forest area, wastelands, snow...

The solution isnt sitting and playing stealth and cross your fingers

the solution is to actually ADD an X or any other marking so you find your game..

It just takes patience, I hunt the same way Meganoth does.  The reason the prey is moving away is because of your noise, or the Z's noise, what works good is if you approach the prey pushing it towards a Z, then once it hits the detect range, (it detecting the Z, not the other way around, it'll run back towards you.)

That's another reason I clear the area of grass, trees and rocks around where my base is, you can see the rabbits/chickens/snakes/crawlers so much easier.

And insane mode, well that's your choice bud, personally I play games to have fun and de-stress not to go, well, insane, well no more then I already am. 

Even a primitive bow with its arc you need to figure in, and you too can kill chickens and rabbits, and yes Z's too.  Early game you don't even need the bonus to stealth damage only the "chunkier" Z's won't go down with 1 hit from a stone arrow, and deer you just gotta hit the head.  

You know what we need Mega?  Target butts.  No, not that kind of butt you Snowdog you,   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archery_butt

That way you can practice the arc, ofc, sometimes the arrows wobble off course but that's rng for you.

you see! you said  it all!.. everyone plays the way they like and on the difficulty they wish..

and when you go hunting you dont do it in your own backyard and hope some deer/chicken/rabbit comes through..

the point of this topic is not HOW You HUNT! it's AFTER you kill your pray/retrieving it !

I am sure they can mark it, just like having the perk for finding prays when they alive in green.

Maybe make the last lvl of Animal Tracker in such way that you can also track the kill?

Relax, take a deep breath. Remind yourself you're talking about a tiny pointless part of a tiny pointless game.. we may love the game, but it's still just a game.

The discussion revolves around "how" because that directly effects the "after". The after seems to consist of "run to the corpse, skin it" for most of us, there isn't much to discuss there.

You seem adamant to push your idea through; that's fine. Me, I'd rather not have such markers at all since cluttering my UI with icons all over is just annoying. For example, I still don't really like the dig quest markers and such. All of that icon spam is a much bigger issue for me than losing a chicken every now and then.

When I hunt, I make sure I am aware of my surroundings and where the prey is based on landmarks (large rocks, trees, roads, etc.)  When I take out the prey (rabbits, chickens, boars, deer, etc), I know where the general vicinity is.  Even if I have to dispatch nosy zombies in the area, I am able to find the animal based on the landmarks I used.  Using landmarks in the wild is as old as time itself.

Actually, I'd prefer the last level of Tracker to let you to track Z's like you do in the kill quests.
