The Hunted, Part Two : Am I broken?

[Sorats]

AS I UNDERSTAND THIS CHALLENGE:
You are supposed to fire your rifle at the bear at each of ten locations in Mystery Lake. Every time you fire at the bear, he is supposed to run off to his next location. If any shots are missed or wasted, you lose the challenge. You cannot save and load, or the challenge is broken.

My problem is, the bear is never scared off by the rifle. Every time I get to him and fire, I'm mauled. I feel like I COULD scavenge enough materials to survive being mauled ten times, but without the ability to save and come back, it would take one heck of a sitting.

Has anyone completed this? Am I missing something? I feel like I'm missing some fundamental piece of information.

How about using a trick with breaking his pathfinding after a shot? Will it work?

Yes, it is broken/buged. I have reported it to Hinterland support but no answer.

Other than that - missing dont mean you lose challenge - jsut you are punished by maul.

In Camp office are guaranteed 3 extra bullets and actually you can even travel to other regions and grab much much more.

But it dont change that it compeltely break how this challange is suppsoed to be done.

That works (sure eg. at very beginning immediately run behind trapper hut the bear rather flee) but there are not suitable positions on all spots.

Anyway why making workaround for obviously broken mechanic. Just wait for fix (that I hope will happen)

Completed it in the november, don't remember that being the case. As for the ammo, you can get some in the trapper cabin and the camp office, as far as I remember.
I disliked hunted pt 1 tbh.

I liked the other challenges, they seemed well explained. They seem poorly explained, particularly in how they altered the bear behavior.
If this challenge is currently broken, I guess I'll wait for a fix. I don't want to try wandering to different areas to scavenge loot to survive ten bear attacks, all in one sitting.

It's a CHALLENGE, man. You are supposed to do whatever it takes to complete =)

Point of this challange was clear as it mirrored Wintermute episode 2 bear encounter piror redux.

Seems to me it was directly technically related too and it is broken since redux shiped in.

It is immersion brekaing for me. Yes I could travel around, get enough medicine and clothing (or just get mauled naked and heal up) To trigger bear 10x and finish it.

But than i dont need the starting rifle at all and the whole thing is somehow pointless beside getting badge...

Apparently this doesn't work. I gave it a try, and the bear ran off... but after 50 feet or so he just comes back to his spot.
So either you get mauled 10 times, or you wait for a fix.
