1 important thing that can make finding need zones alot easier is to just follow those trails if u run into 1. They will always lead u to a need zone of that animal type. I´m not sure if they stay active 100% of the time or if they disappear after a fixed time as animals create them. However if u wanna find feed or rest need zones for that animal then following these tracks can be a good ide. They can ofc also lead u to drink zones but just walk along a river and u gonna find those anyway. I would like to do more passive/fixed hunting in this game but imo the game clock moves to slow for that. Its just alot more convinient to jump to a bed and move the time forward. I timed it once and while it wasent 100% accurate but 1 hour of realtime was roughly 3-4 hours in-game if i remember correct and that is abit on the slow side imo.
Haha brilliant, just as the vid ends a female mule deer shows up (sound indicator) - should've kept it rolling for 5 more minutes to prove your point. Good information. I've not tried passive hunting but will give it a go.
I rly appreciate a vídeo explaining The animals behavior, like how distance to each species take to detect you, and your smell, stand walking, crouch walking, etc.
I've played over 175 hours, killed more than 350 animals (includes quite a few birds, which are easy) and you taught me a bunch! I might have figured out most of what I just learned after many more hours, but not all of it. I've only harvested a few 5* big game animals...that's about to change. Thanks, and subbed!
Finally someone Who makes good and rly informative content. Im appreciate it. Not as others ytbers than show gameplays spotting drink zones on river course and talking a lot of bullshit. Thank you for this rly good stuff. Im with 50h gameplay and learning yet. Please if possible, make more vídeos like this, different of all trashes on RU-vid ive seen before this. GREAT WORK.
@@rorywellburngaming I would like to ask you a question about the zone of need, for example, I arrive in an area that I have just discovered is used very often, for drinking, and I arrive there at 9 in the morning, shortly afterwards they arrive to drink , and I shoot and kill one of them. I would like to know if on the same day, after a while, they come back there again to drink, or if they run away, they don't come back on the same day? if it doesn't come back, would they go to another drinking zone until the time cycle ends? in this case it would be 12 pm. If you reply this, Ill appreciate too much. ahhh. I subscribe your channel, and Im excited to see more content. thank in advance
Instead of messing around like this day 1 I learned to just start at the lodge walk south shoot everything I see. 4pm go home sleep till 7am do it all over again. I'm getting 2 from a group now I got a 7mm and good scope. I got my first 700m hit earlier from the lodge on elk down at the river towards echo.
I'm interested to know if you have actually confirmed that the needs zones will change from often to rarely? I'm also interested to know if that change might affect a switch of any given herds other need zones.
All confirmed, I wouldn't have put the video out without conformation of anything changing. Also herds do not change. Each herd has their own need zones
Hello there! Thanks for uploading this. Just a couple of questions: 1. Can overshooting one cycle of need zones cause them ALL to become Rare for an extended period? On the other hand, if overshooting one need zone renders it Rare and the other Often, does that mean overshooting the other causes the former to become Often again? I hope this makes sense, haha. 2. If you're playing in Ranger mode, can you track animals using trodden vegetation? In 6:49, I noticed a clear line in the foilage -- does this always apply? If it does, that's pretty cool. 3. I've heard that animals can detect you behind hills. Has this bug been fixed? Thanks for any help.
I can only answer 3 partially. I dont think its a bug.Are you sure you havent made a loud sound or they spooked because they sensed you. Sight is not the only thing animal can spook from :)
I think what you are asking is just zoom in to the map and it shows all you animals and need zones as long as you have discovered them. Hope this helps
Does anyone know why I have black bear zones that are often I go to them and nothing is there but they have tracks here leading away from the need zone but I never hear them flee and I’m within the time of the need zone
it's super random it's not guaranteed every time you go there they'll be there it's more like a 75% chance they'll be there if there's prints there already they already moved on the time range is just an estimate they could be early could be late could be within that time needzones just give a general idea of what animal is where on the map
still not sure how tracks are working, they are visible after animals past the site, or they are just indicating way of animal journey, between the zones, please explain in the comment, regards
If you follow the game trails Urine sample and poopies will spawn when you get closer to those animals. Giving you a clue that animals are closer. You can also use the trails to map out all need zones they are all connected.
@@rorywellburngaming Is the time random? For example between 9AM to 13PM, the herd can show up in the very start or the very last second or just somewhere between the time zone? Because I check both place at 9AM, couldn't find them, but than I wait a bit, return to one of the zone they eventually showed up at 9:52AM. Edit: After thinking about it I don't think it make sense tho. They should always show up at the beginning of a time zone(If not the time zones will jusy be obsolete). Maybe it because the hunting pressure is too high, I saw some reddit comments saying if the pressure is to high the herd will dissappear temporarily.
@@rorywellburngaming Okay that makes sense to be just an estimated time. Thanks for the reply. Also do reseting the time force them spawn in the need zone? If I didn't see them when I first come to it.
@@rorywellburngaming it's been confirmed that archery will be added by the devs themselves but they said later in the horizon so within a year of game release maybe
