Leeanda Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just wondered how the moose attacks affect gameplay. How long injuries last and what you can or can't do ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratvox Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Once it gets a hold of you you basically have to take it. You'll get broken ribs. That will require 120 hours of rest (sleep or passing time) to fix, and in the meantime your carrying capacity will be (IIRC) halved, no running, no rope climbing, none of that stuff. Moose encounters are pretty serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very impatient!😄 Wonder why the damage is so much more extreme than bear though! Edited August 29, 2021 by Leeanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratvox Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 You take a much lower hit to your condition, and it's really unlikely to kill you, as opposed to getting mauled by a bear, and getting bleeding affliction(s); if you don't have bandages, it can kill you in pretty short order. Exsanguination baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Well I would say that I'm glad I'm on pilgrim, but the last few successful attempts to kill bears have made them try to attack instead of their usual running off! Glad I didn't aggro the moose then even though very tempted as I've never been trampled before. Edited August 30, 2021 by Leeanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratvox Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Oh, go get trampled at least once; you haven't lived until you've lived through that. I've had my guys trampled by moose an easy dozen times by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be honest I don't think I could let myself get trampled! Instincts to hunt and kill moose is just too strong! Plus its gonna HURT!😃 Edited August 31, 2021 by Leeanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuegemann Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Like with the bear it is a good idea to have the flare gun around. After a shot the beasts are fleeing, if not dropping dead after a headshot. Moose I normally hunt only with the flare gun, continuing with arrows if it runs away.

Leeanda Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Never really used the flare gun. Tried it once on a bear but didn't realise the distance needed to be close! It just looked at the light then sauntered off!😀 Big game for me means rifle, not so good with the bow I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
