I feel like Ubi gave the animals alot of health to try and discourage player's from hunting to make money. You can't tell me a 308. 44. magnum or 45/70 can't take down most animals in one shot. I can understand something like a bear requiring a few shots but c'mon now, they all have skin made out of kevlar!
Funniest is the terminator turkey's, they eat arrows like there aren't any tomorrow. All I ask is to lower their health so it dosen't take a dozen rounds before they go down, then I would hunt alot more.
Not sure what "these animals" consists of, however for deer, caribou, there is bleed-out - similar to FC4, but no blood trail. Haven't encountered elk yet to see what happens with them.Originally Posted by DeathBurnout Go to original post
There is actually a bit if a trail aswell. I have shot animals and they have run off, only to die a ways off. I have shot a caribou with one arrow, followed it while it ran, seen blood on the groind in the process, and it died some distance from the point of contact. Wolves will go down with one to two shot gun shots. A bear will go down in two to three. Small rounds dont do much, especially when the animal is in "attack mode", but when caught unawares, they seem less resilient.Originally Posted by MikeWeeks Go to original post
Head shots are king.
So are shotguns.
You shouldn't have to strive for headshots against a rushing skunk to take it down with a .45/70 with one shot. That thing is powerful enough that a shot in the thing's foot would obliterate it. I am exaggerating a bit obviously but a body shot, a SINGLE body shot, would F it up bad to the point it isn't going to keep rushing and would probably have a 90% chance of 1 shot kill.
The shotgun will take a skunk in one. Regardless of shot location. Cant speak to the "big" calibre weapons, I haven't used em.Originally Posted by TicTacGlue Go to original post
Go try past FC games and you'll be very happy with this one. No more cats that soak up bullets, then finally dies, only to encounter another one 50ft away, and so on, over and over. Throw in an eagle between a couple of those encounters and you've got Far Cry 4. This title is fine as is!
Yea seriously!Originally Posted by D0MFTW Go to original post
It seriously sucks when you have NOT upgraded your quiver, so you can only hold 10 arrows at the moment, and you go hunting alone, it takes like HALF your arrows to kill something only to get 3 arrows back in return.
There fore after you kill 5 or 6 animals, with the Bow I mean, you have to go back to a shop to refill your arrows, and that sucks!
I want to be able to last ALOT longer out in the wild hunting, but until I upgrade my quiver I just cannot stay out that long. Plus back tracking every ten minutes or so to refill your arrows is annoying!!
hmm, really? I don't remember it that way at all. As a matter of fact I would try to craft ALL of my upgrades as fast as possible in 4. So i would STOP hunting pretty quickly after finishing all the upgrades, and do NO more hunting after that and the game was long...Originally Posted by GORESH Go to original post
Maybe that is why i don't remember it well enough to agree with your.....
