Tips for Hunting

Get Boomer, the dog from John’s Region. Boomer has the ability to mark nearby enemies, and he can also mark any animal around. So you don’t have to look for them. So always take Boomer with you. In case you are unable to find any animal in the below spots, try walking around for a while, animals will spawn after some time. Remember the nearest fast travel point, some rare animals won’t appear instantly you have to revisit the place multiple times.

Carry a sniper rifle with you, some animals may spot you and run away, so you can use a sniper to get a headshot. If you had unlocked Leadership Perk (6 points) you can take two Specialist with you, Boomer and Jess are two best when it comes to hunting. The next important perk you will need is King of the Jungle (6 Points), after unlocking this perk you won’t have to fear wild animal attacks plus animals won’t run away seeing you. The last perk you need is Journey Pack that cost 7 Points, it will increase the number of items you carry.

Hunting two main objectives, first to kill a different type of animals so that you can complete challenges which will reward you with perk point, and the second goal is to loot animal skins that can be traded for some money. Remember that not all animals hunting will give you perk points, there are few of them who are connected with the challenge. Look for road signs and magazine to get animal locations.

If you kill animals with bows there are max chances you get bait also, these baits can be later used to lure animals like wolves, cougar or bears. And if you are using a weapon then you won’t get the bait.
