ManicManiac Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) @stmSantana It does exactly what the description implies: "Bleed out time reduced by 25%" = It takes an animal 25% less time to "bleed out" (a.k.a. to die of blood loss).

UTC-10 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 For hunting purposes, the animal mode for effective hits generally consists of critical hits which kills the animal instantly and bleeding wounds where the animal will die after bleeding out. How long it takes for an animal, excluding moose which do not bleed out and rabbits that tend to die with any serious hit, depends on the animal and the location of the hit/bleed. The most severe (shortest time) bleed-out timers are associated with head/neck hits and may take 45 game minutes to an hour (or more) as I understand it. The nature of the critical hit versus bleeding wounds model means that for bleeding wounds the shortest applicable bleed timer applies. It cannot be hurried by shooting the animal multiple times. The purpose of multiple shots tends to be to try and get a critical hit so the animal dies on the spot. So if a wounded animal has a four hour bleed timer and, with one or more shots, it gets a one hour bleed timer and more four hour timers, the timer with the shortest remaining time to bleed out applies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stmSantana Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thank you! I suspected that the wolf's shorter bleeding time could be that the bleeding stopped and healed. The bleeding is complete when he dies, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
