Yeah the bait thing is a big helper, though it feels like a bit of a cheat (or more than it does in FC3, because the animals are a whole lot more rambunctious in 4). I got the recurve bow too, and I'm starting to like it even though I'd rather have a sniper rifle. The skills first then the missions is solid advice, and there's plenty to do so it doesn't seem too boring. I put about 50 AR rounds in a rhino's ass, and it just ran off, so now I leave 'em alone. Might try an rpg when I get one.

Well now I got a suppressed sniper rifle (which is great), I'm still using the bow a whole lot for close-in silent kills. I've knocked over quite a few bases, bell towers and a few revenge kills on the side. I read somewhere that the best (only?) way to kill the rhinos is with an elephant, or vehicle-mounted machine gun. Haven't tried the elephant riding thing yet.

I've taken down a few rhino with normal assault rifles. From what I've seen they tend to graze near water, so I find one, shoot it to get it to chase me, then dive into the water (they don't follow) and either nip out of the water when it's a safe distance away and rinse and repeat or find a boat and use that as a platform and shoot the rhino from there.

How many rounds, where (what part of the animal)?

Damn, just remembered I shot one in the head 3-4 times with an svd and it just shrugged it off.

I'm not liking how the animals are so goddam bulletproof in 4. Even the fucking badger, which is like an oversize rat. Jeesh.

To be fair, a lot seem to go down with one or two arrows from the recurve bow. I've taken a tiger down in two shots to the face.

Rhinos are tough and best softened up with rockets or grenades, then finished off with a machine gun to preserve the hide.  Presumably someone on the internet has punched one to death, which might be funny to watch for the first fifteen minutes.

Elephant riding is good, second only to Sabretooth tiger riding in Primal.  Both are amusing and effective carnage machines.

I opportunistically killed a pair of badgers last night, after they attacked and killed two enemies. Each badger took ~10-15 AR rounds to kill. THAT ISN'T EVEN FUCKING REAL!!! Anyway, I got a bigger ammo pouch out of it, so can't really complain.

Ah yeah, the honey badgers. Vicious little buggers in real life and the game.

You realise you're complaining about a game where shooting an animal in the face doesn't kill it instantly, but healing yourself (instantly) from a bullet wound is as easy as digging out the offending shell from your arm and wrapping a bandage around it. As well as all the other stuff that suspends your belief in reality.

Anywho, I suspect you're being a tad faceitous.  :-P

That may be true, but I liked the animals better in FC3, and I like the FC3 guns (and nades) in Ziggy's mod, which deal [more] realistic damage than the pea shooters of 4.

Killed a bunch of rhinos last night (enough for a bigger wallet + bait bag). Grenades definitely helped, but I still had to follow them about and dodge their charges while pumping arrows and bullets into 'em. (strangely the exploding arrows had no effect) A couple I got with handily-emplaced stationary MGs. I went to the Kryat fashion week thing but I missed the interminable and inescapable cut scene where it is all explained while I went for coffee, so I was left clueless as to where these allegedly special critters might be. OK, I get it now, the hunts are initiated at captured bases like in FC3.

Re the story - which fork did you go down? I'm at the point where I've got to choose between the woman and the man, save the people or save the information. Which one did you pick? I've no afflilation for either party, so thought I'd go for the opposite of what you've gone for. We can see how the game pans out.

I went with save the people. I've seen a spoiler since hinting the ending will get real nasty to wit:in this fork you have to kill the nice lady who turns out to be a bad person, and maybe her nice, teenage daughter too. I also see there are a couple of DLCs for FC4, for which I'd have to pony up more than I paid for the game  :-@

Are they an extended Hurk quest and Valley of the Yeti?  The former's a laugh and the lattter's a few hours' play in a whole new map,

The Fashion week accessories are well worth pursuing - they're pretty much an essential part of role progression..

Yeah those are the DLC. If they go sale I might try 'em out. Have you played around with the map editor?

The "rare" animal skins are needed for several wallety/bag upgrades, and quite a few of the better weapons. I went back to several captured bases but didn't see any posted. I got the "warrior" suppressed AR last night and I'm packing explosive and fire arrows, my load out is looking pretty good now.
