In-game journal
The Fox is a small predator that keeps out of sight and strikes only when the moment suits it. It is quick, sharp-witted and hard to pin down. On the map it roams at Shattered Convoy, so head there when you want to hunt one.
Skinning a fox gives a Fox Pelt, and the carcass then opens like a container holding Meat and Fox Pelt. You need a knife to skin it, and a Stone Shiv works. Try any other tool and the game refuses with an unsuitable-tool warning. The Woods side quest What Does The Fox Say asks you to hunt 3 foxes, report back to Skinwalker and collect the reward: 1 Fox Head Hat and the recipe for the Fox Hide Rug.
In the Permafrost era, bears have become more territorial and aggressive. They often roam the outskirts of ruined cities, scavenging for food and protecting their young. Encountering a bear is a dangerous affair, and it’s best to avoid them unless absolutely necessary.
Female boars move in small sounders, fiercely protective of their young. They’re slightly smaller than males, but quicker and more defensive. Spook one, and you risk drawing out the entire group. Their meat is leaner, and their hides are easier to work with.
Moose are among the most dangerous creatures left roaming the permafrost. Towering, territorial, and easily provoked, they’ve claimed entire frozen neighborhoods as mating grounds.
Muskoxen move like ghosts across the snowfields, heads low, breath steaming. Their thick coats make them nearly immune to cold, and their horns can crush a femur on impact. Despite their size, they’re incredibly fast when spooked. Rare to find, harder to bring down.
Rabbits have adapted surprisingly well to the new world, often seen hopping through abandoned parks and overgrown urban gardens. They are a vital food source for survivors, though their quick movements and small size make them challenging to catch. Unless you have a proper weapon… or a trap.
Red deer have migrated into city areas, taking advantage of the lack of human presence. These majestic creatures are more skittish than ever, but they provide a valuable source of meat and hide for those skilled enough to hunt them.
Wolves have become more prevalent and bold, often venturing into the outskirts of towns in search of prey. They hunt in packs and are highly dangerous, making them one of the most feared predators of the Permafrost era.
