Advantages

Each tip in our library is a single actionable insight you can apply immediately in your next session — no fluff, no filler. The tips are organized by category (stealth, aim, ammo, tracking, squad coordination, loadout optimization) so you can quickly find what you need. Beginner tips cover the basics: crouch-walking to break raptor aggro, aiming for neck joints on large predators, reloading behind full cover, following dung and broken foliage in groups of three. Intermediate tips cover multi-kill bonuses and squad stash management. Advanced tips cover trophy bonus stacking for maximum payouts. Every tip is tested by the community and proven effective.

Challenges

Tips are most effective when applied to your specific hunting style and squad composition — what works for a solo stealth hunter may not work for a 4-player aggressive fireteam. Some tips assume specific weapon loadouts that may not match your current arsenal. Tips about specific dinosaurs may not apply if the species receives a balance change between patches. The tips library is not exhaustive — players with niche playstyles may need to experiment beyond what's documented. Co-op-specific tips assume all squad members are following the same protocols, which can break down in public squad matchmaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I save ammo?+

Reload only when fully behind cover — partial reloads waste bullets and leave you vulnerable during reload animations. Use controlled burst fire (3 rounds) with the AR-15 instead of full-auto spray. For T-Rex, the .700 Nitro Express is so expensive that missed shots are particularly punishing — aim carefully.

How do I avoid raptor aggro?+

Crouch-walk in tall grass to break raptor line-of-sight. Use scent cover items (purchased from the outfitter) to mask your presence for 30 seconds. Avoid sprinting near raptor packs — sprint generates noise that attracts aggro from 50m radius. Bait items can also distract dinosaurs from squad positions.

How do I track dinosaurs in dense jungle?+

Use the tracking HUD to read spoor (footprints), blood trails, and dung patterns. Follow dung and broken foliage in groups of three to identify the right path. In dense jungle, listen for vocalizations — Velociraptors call to each other when one is injured, which can guide you to their pack position.

What's the best loadout for solo play?+

Solo hunters should prioritize mobility and ammo economy. Bring an AR-15 as your primary (versatile across dinosaurs), a .500 S&W Magnum as your sidearm (close-quarter backup), and at least 200 rounds of 5.56mm ammo. Avoid the .700 Nitro Express solo unless you're hunting small targets — the slow reload leaves you vulnerable.

Quick Tips

💡

Crouch in tall grass and use scent cover to break raptor aggro lines. Crouch-walking is silent but slower than sprinting.

💡

Aim for the neck joint on large predators for instant down. The .700 Nitro Express spine shot on T-Rex yields the maximum trophy payout.

💡

Reload only when fully behind cover — partial reloads waste bullets and leave you vulnerable during reload animations.

💡

Follow dung and broken foliage in groups of three to identify the right path. T-Rex footprints are distinctive — three-toed, deeply impressed in mud.

💡

Use bait items to distract dinosaurs from squad positions during coordinated hunts. Bait draws aggro from a 50m radius for 30 seconds.
