Killing the Rabbits

Please, I don’t see any difference. I happen to hit one, knocked it out, ran to him. He was gone...

Stunning rabbits with stones does not kill them. It only stuns them fr a very short amount of time, then they recover and hop like crazy to get away from the human throwing things at them.

You need to be fairly close to the rabbit when you stun it, run over and grab it. Then you have to decide to either snap it's neck, while it looks at you with a sad face, or pet its ears and let it go.

Or you can shoot it with a rifle or bow between it’s ears.

Then it won’t run away...

Be in its path so its heading towards you. They don't change directions often. Crouch and they will literally walk right up to you. You can hit it point blank.

I understand all of the above, the last patch was to correct the issue of better targeting. I don’t see any improvement.

The targeting is better. And stones still do not kill rabbits. No matter how many of them you throw at one, or how many times you hit them. If you aren't close enough to grab the rabbit after you stun it for a second or two, they will still wak up and run away before you can wrap your hand arund their furry little necks. :)

It is much easier to aim and hit one of the little buggers now. That is exactly what "targeting" means. And your title and thread topic says:

Which made me, and I think others, think you were asking about killing rabbits with stones. Not about it being easier to actually aim and hit one to knock it silly for a IRL second or 2 (which is equal to a few in-game minutes). Were you expecting a cs:go Aimbot? Better targeting =/= guaranteed hits with every throw.
