Legit way to catching chickens

[Shot]

New player here, and im having issues with getting meat to survive. I made the animal house and now im seeing that i need to catch an animal to put into the thing. I have read that you can do some sort of bunny hop thing to get them.... So my question is how are you suppose to legit catch them with out bouncing around like a little tool? do i shoot them until almost dead? cause im limited on ammo and dont want to use it until i need too.

Also im sure this has been discused several times. I have read several posts. but my question is not answered in them so please if your a troll move the hell on.

useing 2 shots on a chick or rabit will SOMETIMES stun them. Dont bother chasing the rabit its to fast. The chick stops running after every 6 secs for a 1 sec cool down. Keep on him and watch for enemies. Spam the F key when you get close. Just watch your stamina. Good Luck.

btw I recommend you have a tomato farm before you start catching animals. They have to eat and drink too.

yea, working on the farm, have to wait for power and mass first.

do they have plans for any kinda traps to catch them? cause that would be more reasonable.

[HellHound]

I agree. I was in the discussions looking for a road map of some sort and that was one of my reasons.

Simple, man up and chase the SAME chicken 4 times in a row (the same chase). You catch up to it within 4 chase segments. It runs, it pauses to catch a breath, it runs again.

if you lvl your 9mm to lvl 2 one shot puts the chinken's down but does not kill them

If you use the Adrenaline Boost kit you will sprint faster and you can catch them much easier

Can you catch rabbits this way? I hate shooting them, bullets are worth their weight in blue diamonds.

Great idea Kraft, glad this works, gotta start making some of the adrenaline boosts now...

Chickens have a understanding with wolfs and bears. they will lead toward them and then the wolfs and or bears will eat you.

that they do this is why i use my lvl 2 9mm to knock them down and then i just bring them home to heal lol

It would be nice to have some snares.

I have noticed this as well. I'm not sure if it's intentional or if its just the fact that you can't run in any direction for more than 10 seconds without running into a preditor regaurdless of whether you are chasing a chicken or not.
