Why the snot are animals so tough

[wainiodavid]

most of them can take an entire clip of assault rifle hits to the body and not die. But one arrow or a couple kicks stabs will do it. Stupid dog packs are my biggest danger. The eat up bullets, too many for arrows.

Don't get me started about bears. I should not have to hunt tigers and bears with a grenade launcher. It just isn't right.

I have good luck with a shotgun and if you can, be near water. You can take a shot and then just back up into the water and they will back off. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, try to get one of those "Bull" shotguns. That sucker will bring down an Abrams.

Headshots with the bow will do it. I beat the game on the hardest difficulty and while they seemed crazy tough at first, you get used to strategies but unless you are wielding a powerful weapon, you will need to keep enough distance while you get your shots off. I used nothing but Bow for those kills until I collected all I needed for upgrades (to get the clean kill extra skins).

Also, the pistol from the uplay store is nice....it's silenced so if there are enemies nearby and packs of animals are on you, you can use that to take them down quietly if need be... of course there are more powerful weapons with silencers later in the game, but that is something you can unlock fairly early on with UPlay points.

I HATE the eagle lol. It does make for an interesting challenge. I'll be trying to sneak up on someone then bam eagle lol.

[General Iffy]

There are mods to make the eagles less common. Also, the Z93 is the most powerful of the sniper rifles. It can take out most animals with one shot.

I always scare them off with molotovs.

Yes, some are tough when starting out. LOL Some people don’t think they are. LOL… So funny.

P.S. LOL!

Also, strangely enough... I've seen all sorts of animals killing each other. For example a Bear kill a Tiger, a Wolf kill a Bull by hanging on its neck biting it (just like they'd attack in real life by going for the throat)... yet I haven't stumbled upon dead Honey Badgers in such a fashion. I mean, I am sure it's possible within the game but after many many hours the only ones I have seen not moving were from my own doing. They definitely go beast mode haha

Ha ha yepp

[Gin51]

Yeah you can even kill a Rino with a headshot with a bow you can do the same with the sniper rifle and its easier... but i hate to lost the extra skin... and yeah i saw animals fighting like a tiger fighting with an elephant where he win... a Rino against a tiger that ended up dead... honey badgers with bharals...

[wainiodavid]

I have mostly solved my problems by using a grenade launcher and light machine gun to deal with animals. Just like hunters in the real world. :)
