what to do when surrounded by wolves?

[SnoW]

Got jumped by a pack, hid in a house but they didn't go away and another player heard them barking. RIP last character.

Unless you have a car to flee in, you need to fight them and right away. Kill them and scoot.

Wolves can be heard a long way so people in area already on notice. Then when you stop. (hide in a house) there is the constant barking. It makes it easier to hone in on where you are.. It is a lot faster to just kill them and flee,

[SnoW]

Yeah, I will do that next time certainly. I was low on ammo though, probably was my time xd

[SnoW]

Do they need headshots? with say .380 ammo?

[Viggen]

.380 can easily kill them, they have around the same HP as a normal infected, but a heavy hit or 2 from a two-handed melee can also put them down.

The packs are usually led by the Alpha... if you can take him out the rest will run away. But they literally all look alike so its just luck if you off him right off the hop..

you have to kill three wolves of the pack, then the rest will run away.
if you encounter them in the open, try and get to higher ground.
a .380 or 7.62x54 or .357 will always oneshot them.
when melee fighting them, always have a tree or a wall in your back because they like to sneak up from behind while the others distract you.

Can also try just logging out for a few minutes.

1- if you have any melee weapon, stay in the house & attract wolves on windows : you can use most of the melee weapons through the windows (axes, baseball batte, spear, etc)
It's a cheap way to clean the wolves mess.
I usually use that technic to clean some military camps.
The risk : taking too much time = others players can be here before you finish, so...


2- log out some minutes / hours.
Logging out some minutes can help to make the wolves to go away.
But the high risk : the other players still are coming to your position.

Logging out some hours : it helps to resolv all the problems : Wolves & players.

u need a big gun to kill a few ,if u see or here them run to house car roof any height rock etc , or stand back to tree n shoot 1 at time who ever is standing still ,

Often I've pulled wolves into buildings one at a time. Makes them easy to kill.....or lock in a room for the next player to eat

[SnoW]

Do they stop barking if locked in a room? That'd be pretty fun to watch lol

[czpetr]

If you have meat in your inventory, throw it on the ground and run as fast as you can.

This is the easiest way when unarmed. Just open a door, back away inside the building and wait for one to come in. If it doesn't just adjust your position inside the building which will re-adjust their own pathing to you. When one comes in, walk past it close the door and punch it out. Rince repeat.

As far as them running away, they do so when the majority have been taken out.
