animals run FAR too easily... >=|

Post by Kipperdipper »

So, I live alone now, and I only have q20 bow, no bone arrows (so stone arrows instead) and 50MM.
and its fucking annoying.
I get one shot on an animal and it runs the fuck away. how the fuck am I meant to kill it in one shot if I'm hitting 86 but everything has that little bit more life in it?
trapping is too hard when solo
and my MM isn't high enough to one shot kill, but isn't low enough to not scare the animals away

what the fuck?!

Chase after them and punch them down.

Raise perception.

Do the other things required to craft a better bow, or easier still, use a good sling.

Yeah, got my survival up to 35 since that seems to be top soil q I've been finding anywhere nearby, searching for strings and gonna make a nicer q bow.
perception is currently at 30, which isn't amazing but once I've got myself going again I'll be fine.

that it does. but limited ammo capacity plus much lower damage makes it crap.

Lower damage = they don't run

until you get to the point of hitting total damage of what I do in one shot, THEN they run.

That's why you box them in first.
