Know What You’re Hunting
While hunting, you will come across animals that have been separated into two categories: wildlife and predators. Knowing which one you are up against makes all the difference when you make your approach. If you are unsure what category you’re up against, just pull out your camera. When you tag an animal you will find out whether it’s regular wildlife or a predator. Tagging animals also provides the added benefit of being able to see them through walls, grass, trees, and any other obstacles.
Animals categorized under wildlife are normally docile. You’ll often find them grazing or relaxing and they will run once they realize you are there. You can chase them if you’d like, although a lot of them are freakishly fast. They are very easy to kill, rarely requiring more than a single arrow or throwing knife to bring one down.
But then you have predators, the bad ass denizens of Kyrat that put all the gun toting enemies to shame. Hunting one of these critters can sometimes prove to be a fatal affair. Look at the honey badger for instance. They are small and cute but once they sense you all hell breaks loose. They are deceptively fast and they do quite a bit of damage. The last thing you will remember is shooting some furry beasts that kept dashing towards your feet before the screen fades.
Rhinos are even worse. They are huge living tanks that exhibit no fear as they run you down even as you’re chucking grenades and molotov’s at them. Always enter with a plan of execution and an escape plan for just in case you find yourself cornered by huge angry predators.
It is also a great idea to use the environment to your advantage.
