The Water Buffalo and the Long Chase

[MarktheMuffin]

I have been playing on Parque Fernando, while unlocking the outpost I started to hunt the Buffalo, first Buff was a mythical, went to collect it and shot another along the way, then got attacked by one that run up behind me, (dead), started back at outpost that was just unlocked which was not far from the first kill, collected both kills and proceeded to head towards my next location which was another outpost through Buffalo area, got another Buffalo, attacked again, (dead), start back at outpost, went and got last kill again, collected, now almost at the next outpost to unlock, spotted another Buffalo almost on the other side of small lake, drinking zone, but this time ignored it and carried on towards objective, next I hear running getting closer, Buffalo, the one that was spotted, (I think), had run at least halfway round the lake to get me, (dead), finally got to next outpost going the long way round, unlocked it and then started to the next outpost, now keeping a good lookout for these Buffalo's, spotted more, rest zone, ignored them, carried on, but yet again from the rest area which was a good 250yrds away a Buffalo started running towards me so off I went with it chasing, now what gets me is that this animal did not give up chasing me and I ran from the top of the map to almost the outpost where you start the reserve with this thing hot on my tail, I know that I had hit it with three good fatal hits with the 7mm while running straight at me, yet on he came, needless to say (dead) while reloading.

Question, Do these animals hold a grudge?, is it some sort of vendetta against me?, am I living the Buffalo version of Jaws the movie?, they never give up!.

I have no experience with the buffalo, but in my opinion the animals are waaaay too aggressive in this game. I regularly get attacked by charging Roe deer does. That would almost never happen in real life barring freak circumstances, let alone multiple times in a few sessions. lol. :D

They need to dial the animal aggression way down. Even dangerous animals would rarely attack anyone without good reason (protecting cubs, cornered and injured, etc.), let alone Roe deer does. lol.

Agressive are only Wolves, Buffaloes, Lions and Pumas

The other animals just can charge you one time in a moment of scare ( bears sometimes more often)

but all these animals will never attack you on sight

Its a game not a real life simualtion therefore im fully fine with getting charged by this animals when i scare them
