If there's no car around you can dance around a tree with the bear until you get a kill shot, a little more dangerous but I find myself doing that more often than not.

Best and safe way to kill a bear is with a flare gun. Usually only takes one shot, and even if you miss he'll run away

@aceofbasesOG

Жыл бұрын

The flare gun makes a great emergency bear gun, but in a long run game, arrows or revolver bullets are far more plentiful. No doubt the flare gun is a beautiful choice when you forget you're in a bear spawn area and come around a tree to a bear 20 feet away.

All guns cause bleeding, and will kill any animal other than a moose with enough time after a shot. You can just shoot a bear and prevent it mauling you with a campfire.

Once you get a headshot theres no point in shooting anymore arrows. While you can get a crit its like a 15% chance with a headshot and if you hit a limb it will swap the bleedout to that timer and take longer.

I started giggling when the porcupine was very close to you.

It's a good thing he doesn't know how to open a car door. Nomnomnom

I prefer just one arrow as opposed to a follow up or other shots; but I mostly play in other areas because there’s less places for the bear to go. With maybe the exception of Forsaken Airfield, there is not another region this size - with big game/dangerous game that is.

​@@aceofbasesOG as my knowledge goes shooting the bear won't kill him quicker (i mean yeah there's the crit chance) because the bleedout will reset if you hit a different spot Like let's say that you hit the Bear with a headshot the bleedout time will be 45mins But if you shoot the same bear again with a body shot the bleedout will be an hour (all made up times)

@aceofbasesOG

@@Whiterunguard455 My experience thus far (full disclosure, haven't played in a year+, easily so things may have changed) is that multiple shots will drop the bear quicker, not due to bleed-out but rather due to damage from the projectile itself at impact. I'd imagine there is impact damage, then a bleed-out DOT. Certainly if I shoot him in the face multiple times as he runs at me, he will die faster than he'd normally bleed out, so the subsequent shots must be doing something more than applying the DOT again. Regardless, normally in a stalker run, I'd use 1 arrow and then just wait for the DOT to do the rest.

there is a bug if u shoot a bear from long range and he rans just enter in a safe house and later go see his dead body

Easiest method to kill a bear: Get flare pistol Let it charge Wait until it's around 20ft away from you Boop it in the face with the flare. It's scary, but works every time if you don't mess up your shot or forget to load the round in the pistol.

@aceofbasesOG

That's certainly one way, though not very safe if you miss, and certainly not cheap as there are limited flare rounds in the world. This also depends on having found the flare gun. This video is about safety and ammo cost, but the flare gun is fun, no doubt! Of course, he usually runs off afterwards to die in a lonely corner of the map, so it's a bit tougher to load all that meat into a storage container a few feet away. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

@@aceofbasesOG The video works, dead on - I've done it myself many times. Waiting in the car for bleedout. As to the flare gun method - it's reliable; if you miss he runs away, if you hit, he drops dead 99% of the time on the spot. Seriously. It's super easy. Thanks for the vid :)

If you’re only going to shoot the bear once or maybe twice, use a bow, and not the revolver: the bow does much higher bleed damage/it takes a lot less time to bleed out than shooting it will. Note that Moose don’t bleed.

@aceofbasesOG

2 ай бұрын

Great note about the moose! I'll end up using whatever ammo I have in abundance, since time till death isn't much of an issue in this case, but when time is of the essence, duration of bleed-out would definitely be something to consider. In this particular instance, I'd tend towards a bullet since I'm in a position to afford the extra time and would want to reserve the arrows for a location where time is more important. Though that scenario is pretty unlikely, this game has taught me that sometimes small decisions can have big implications later. I appreciate the feedback!

To be honest I never waste more than 1 shot. I would have gone inside the car pass 1 or 2 hour and gone out to some quartering

@aceofbasesOG

Жыл бұрын

I'll typically do a single shot, then pop in and out of the car until he drops right there. No tracking, with potential loss of the trail, and the net time and calories expended is, I think, less than the track and quarter method. Plus, less exposure to other risks while shuffling all the meat across the map.

Much prefer just shooting a bear next to a fire then waiting an hour or two till he drops dead right infront of me and the fire lol

What i do is goat a ledge high enough that the bear cant access. He runs around. (You need two expedition parkas to not rush the process due to temperature. but they make needing bear hides worthless unless youre looking for the armor boost.) You can wait awhile or just redo the process but make sure you're guaranteed to get back to the ledge.

@aceofbasesOG

6 ай бұрын

My experience is that when you shoot an animal and they can't path to you, they turn and run away most of the time, which means tracking them. I'll use the ledge when I just need the bear or wolf to go away, but for dropping them right next to a base this seems to work the best for me. Your results may vary, of course. Happy hunting!

I did 2 successfully kills with a single shot with the rifle each time at the hunters cabin at mystery lake. Made my shot, went inside and slept over night and he is laying dead outside. The second time, I witnessed him just plop over dead as I exited the cabin.

That's a good strategy that's worked for me as well, though I haven't had 100% success rate with it. Better than 50%, I believe.

There is a funny place to get the bear repeat the process of running at you and getting discouraged with inaccessibility to you. It is inside the terrace with a door. You let the outside door open and lean against the farmstead door(left edge works best for me). You can just pass the time or study while the bleeding bear runs back and forth.

I like that porch, and I've used it, but there's the risk of another mechanic coming into play, in my experience. If you can see/shoot the bear, but he can't path to you, he goes into flee mode. This is most noticeable on a rock ledge that you dropped onto from above. He doesn't see the path to you, since he's not able to walk over edges, but you can shoot him from there. Porch is the same setup. So, when using the porch, I found that it was likely that he'd suddenly bolt off across the map, and now I'm tracking him and hoping the trail doesn't get lost, and then I'm shuffling all that meat back in a couple trips past wolfpacks. The first time I did the porch it worked perfectly, but I was never able to repeat it reliably and gave it up for the car, which is 100%. Happy hunting!

That particular save was basically stalker, with a couple minor changes for QoL. As with all the difficulty levels, getting past the first couple weeks is the challenge. After you've got good clothes and tools, the only real enemy is boredom. This is a relatively new run, which I was doing in response to losing my last Stalker character a few days before on day ~375.
