Red Dots Question?

Post by Serengetti »

Hi Guys,
Will someone please tell me what the three red dots on the HunteMate next to the word "Trail" indicate? Sometimes none are lit up, sometimes two, or all three.

The first three tracks (calls, droppings, audio included) have a higher impact on the tracking level than the rest. Therefore it is beneficial to find at least three tracks. The number is indicated by these dots.

As Dr_ViEr stated, they have to do with animal tracking. If one dot is lit up, then you have only picked up one track/call for a specific, individual animal. When you pick up a second track/call for that individual, the second dot lights up. The third track/call lights up the third dot. At that point, any additional tracks/calls from that animal will show all three dots being lit to indicate you have "fully tracked" that animal in terms of tracking skilll. The first three clues you pick up from an individual animal increase your tracking skill at a higher rate than all subsequent clues. I believe there may be bonus points for collecting a minimum of three clues from an animal. The dots are just there to let you know how many clues you've picked up from that individual animal.

According to the wiki (https://thehunter.fandom.com/wiki/Tracking_Skill) the first track gives you 2 points towards tracking skill for that animal, the second gives you 3 points, the third gives you 4 points, and each subsequent one gives you 1 point.
