ANIMAL GLOW

[BONITE]

When I look at an animal in my binoculars to mark it I press the E key, which makes the animal glow, why does this mark (this reflection) stay only 2 seconds and disappear ?
I have seen videos where the marked animal(s) remain(s) permanently luminescent.
How do you keep the marked animal luminescent ?
How to mark several animals at once.

Okay, thanks for answering.
I had a doubt, now it's confirmed.

There is a skill/perk (cannot recall which one off the top of my head) that extends the time the animal is illuminated with the spot. One of the benefits is that if you wound the animal the spot marker on your map will move with the animal. This can cut your blood trail tracking time considerably since what's shown on your map is the last location of the animal instead of just the place where you initially shot it.

How long does that skill illuminate the animal for? I have one skill point coming to me at level 60 and wasn't sure if it was worth considering.

Hold up... there's a skill / perk that moves the hunting pressure to where the animals drops?!?

The hunting pressure only appears where the animal was first hurt by a human. Spotting the animal makes the spotting icon (looks like a silhouette of a wild boar) appear on the map where the highlight disappears. If the animal runs off while it's highlighted, you end up trusting the spotted icon as a better reference to see where the animal first ran off. If it drops dead before the highlighting wears off, you can find the animal way easier.

they fixed that, was a glitch i think that it followed the animal. now the marker stays where you spot it (like before) and gives you a starting point if you shoot it and it runs where you spotted it. unless my game is broken :)

10 seconds is pretty good. That, coupled with spotting with the scope on the weapon would make it pretty easy to track an animal. Most of mine drop dead pretty close but sometimes I go for the long snipe shot and dont feel like spending a minute just to find the blood trail.

+1. The skill is "tag." I think you can put two points into it (can't remember, maybe its 3 points?). One of the points extends the time of the highlight. It is very useful. You spot the animal & shoot it. If it runs, follow it with your scope while it is still spotted. The "last spotted" icon will move with the animal. When the spotted highlight fades out, pull up your map & place your marker on the "last spotted" icon. Walk to the marker & pick up the trail. Cuts off a whole lot of time spent tracking.

The last point in the skill allows you to spot up to 3 animals at once, but I don't use it.
