Gameplay
Look & Move
Use the right analog stick to look around, and the left analog stick to move your character.
Firearms
When hunting dangerous game, nothing but the biggest, baddest rifles will keep you safe. For each hunt you can select one large caliber rifle, one small caliber rifle, and a handgun. Guns can be selected from the Gear Menu or by pressing the directional buttons.
Before entering an area, you will have a chance to customize different parts of your rifles to improve their abilities. New guns will be unlocked by playing through the game, and custom parts require that you earn upgrade points to purchase them.
Hunter Sense
By using hunter sense, you will gain an acute awareness of your surroundings, and any interest points will be highlighted gold. By moving your crosshairs over any highlighted object, you will get information that could be vital to your hunt.
Adrenaline
As you find yourself in dangerous situations, you will build up a store of adrenaline that can be used when needed. It will slow down your perception of time when used, allowing for a perfect shot even against moving targets.
Melee Actions
If you miss your shot, you may find yourself up close and personal with a very angry animal. Follow the prompts that appear on the screen to escape with your life, but be fast because you only have a short window to perform the required input. Note that depending on the control style you are using, these prompts will change.
Baiting
As many dangerous game animals are carnivorous, sometimes the carcasses of other animals can be used to draw your target. If an animal can be picked up as bait, a hand icon will appear when near it, and you can press the action button to pick it up. It will be added to your Gear Menu.
An icon will appear on your screen when you are in a good area to use the bait. Press the SELECT button to go to the Gear Menu and use it. Once it is placed, be patient and your target should appear.
Stealth
To remain quiet when approaching animals, crouch and move slowly, and they will be less likely to see you.
