Wildlife is both a food supply and a danger. Grazing animals feed and clothe you; predators hunt in packs or one-on-one and can kill a geared survivor in seconds.
Animals you hunt
- Deer, boar, cows, goats and sheep — lots of meat and fat; skin them with a knife for hide, bones and guts used in crafting.
- Chickens and hens — small meals, and hens give feathers and bones.
- Skinning — use a knife on a carcass to harvest, then cook the meat before eating.
Predators that hunt you
Wolves roam in packs and will circle and rush you; a loud, well-aimed weapon and keeping a wall at your back help. Bears (on maps that have them) are rare but brutal — a bear can kill you in a couple of hits, so avoid or shoot from range. Gunfire against predators is loud, so expect it to draw attention.
