timber wolf glitch?

[violet_hamsters]

im on ep 3 of wintermute and im just about to get the last survivor (wade) and im constantly being attacked by groups of timber wolves like literally i cant even move its one after the other one i get the bar down and they go they come back and circle me again immediately and it repeats over and over i tried to kill them all but didnt have enough bullets, ive watched videos and tried so many techniques but have been trying for days and had no success, is this a bug or a glitch im experiencing? usually after the second group of wolves the bar dissapears but the wolves stay and keep attacking me, help!

That last survivor is a PITA, to be sure. Timberwolves in Wintermute will patrol near the fastest and most direct routes back to the Community Center, and they will guard shelters you think you can use to hide from them. What mode are you playing? Green, Capable, or Hardened? In Hardened, things are going to be much more challenging, and you may need to think differently about how you approach this last task.

Likely not a glitch. watching videos may or may not help, updates may have changed wolf behavior (no idea how old the videos you are watching may be, of course), and may not show a strategy that is comfortable for all players. It sucks a bit, but you may need to over-prepare for the task, and change your strategy somewhat.

It took me a few times on XBox One, easier in Green, a bit more challenging in Capable, much more challenging in Hardened. Took a good number of tries playing through Ep 1-3 on the Switch because joycons. I'll eventually finish up the episode here on my Steam copy, but needed a break.

Keep in mind- hitting them with stones will drop their morale a tiny bit, blue flares will buy you some time to deal with them, but I found taking a long route back, off the main roads and trails, and away from notable structures worked for me, though my character did take some damage. Keeping the survivor alive was most important, and I was able to recover condition back at the CC afterward.

Best of luck to you, the last survivor task is a challenge, and it is meant to be one.

Thankyou so much! Yes I’m on capable mode, I usually use marine flares and drop them at my feet next to the survivor and then shoot the wolves or Inbetween the packs of them, the reason I thought it was a glitch is because they come back again but without the bar at the bottom even tho I have it turned on, thanks for the advice I will try to take a different route

Ah, the morale bar is not showing up when they return? That does sound like a possible bug. Sorry if I missed that, I only saw you mention that you get the bar down, and they keep returning and encircling you again. No morale bar, if you have the toggle set to show the bar is not normal.

Having this same problem: drive the wolves off, scoring several revolver hits. then 30 seconds to a minute later the same wolves attack again, this time without a morale meter. I hit one wolf 3x in the head with the revolver while it attacked the survivor. It didn't die. and they keep attacking despite not having a morale meter and apparently infinite health.

Any wolves killed outright in the initial attack stay dead, but breaking a pack only to have them return without a morale meter is obnoxious. I've died or had a survivor bleed out so many times and had to reload.
