Bears keep running and de-spawning

Post by Bugssy »

This is the THIRD bear I've tried to kill, and it runs off my screen, and into a corner where there's no way out, but once I chase it, its completely disappeared.

I've killed them before, but they're not returning like they used to, they just de-spawn now.

How do you kill them now?

Wait a little in between shots when shooting them, if the damage in a certain amount of time passes a threshold, they run, if you mediate your damage, they don't.

Makes sense, last time I killed one my MM was 50. Ive doubled my MM, Sling and stones Q since then...

Doing lots more DMG and aiming much faster now.

Before you shoot it, get ready to right click the double cross swords next to it's image. If it runs, it will stop if it hits an object. I then recommend fencing it in because you have a ~2 minute period where it is non aggressive. You can then beat on it all you want and it won't be able to run away and escape.

Trap them, usually. Or use a q10 sling so you don't do too much damage. Never be afraid to drop aggro to better trap them or to kite them to convenient locations, as you don't lose lp. Otherwise, I hear you can keep them from running by shooting them after they twitch.

Slightly off topic but stone q does not affect damage with slings.

Are you sure? I have 30 crates of stone from the smelter I'm saving for when I hunt.

Nope, you'll also need mm with that. with 100 you can go only to toilet with that q of ranger bow.

You will also need arrows.
