the new open world animal captures?

[_Anise_]

changing the lure type seems to show different points of interest on the map which one would assume takes you to that animal capture type?

except nope it dosn't its just a random animal capture each time, always not the one I want.

so why does it do this ? and tips for capturing the flying thing to rank up rep?

 

ps:I don't want to capture that infected lion dog that has done about 20 poops along its 40 meter journey !

pps:the footprints sometimes are too long and twist too much and are extremely hard to see

That sounds like a new bug. When I was hunting for "common" deimos birds last night, switching the lure type to birds showed only bird PoIs, exactly like the system works on both the Vallis and Plains.

As for tips capturing the birds... Usually there's always one bird PoI over on the edge of the map by the brain. The call point will usually be in the brain cave or near it, and when you call the bird, it will usually come from above and land on top of the cave, so best bet is to get your archwing out, fly up, and look around. Be careful, the bird tends to get stuck in the terrain a lot.

well  I got my method, the capture points for the animal types are always the same ones.

find one point that works for the type of spicies capture one, go back in go back out to the same point capture it again.

also I don't know if this helps but I purposely messed up the call and got the "common" one each time

That's what I do, any bird captures with overhead obstacles does not work when I do them, I've tried flying around looking but nope, a bugged waste of time, though open areas always work. In and out of the gate until that same point one appears, might sound slower but it works everytime, compared to stuffing around going to a point I know fails it's a waste of my time.

Do you put the lure in your hand? The spots are only filtered if you have the lure in your hand. If you have the tranq gun all spots show regardless of the lure selected.
