Ramethzer0 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I hate them so much that I'd rather bare knuckle on dog packs than fight a single vulture in a similar scenario. But, then there are times when I'm facing down 4 or 5 as im driving through an area and I kick off my bike just long enough to bullethose all of them out of spite. I do treasure those moments.

Andros Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I rely on them, a quick bike ride through the desert and my feather situation is made so much better. I hate looking in bird's nests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I play on a lower difficulty setting than you, but i usually only get 1 or 2 vultures on me. so nothing really to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're smart too, there's no way Conan would be able to bite one of their heads off. I kind of like them irl. They don't bother me and I certainly don't bother them.

If disturbed by you (while they are perched) I think they attack no matter what. Edited May 27, 2022 by doughphunghus (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biting the head off of a vulture is not recommended. Vultures can throw up a very odorous vomit as a defense mechanism.

I'm wondering if they could add a Skeksis-like "king of the vultures" to 7DTD. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Even if the vehicle has no damage, the vultures attack. That is simply part of their behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that's good to know. I can stop repairing my vehicles so often. Speaking of vulture behaviors, is it normal for vultures to continue attacking vehicles after you disembark? Had one the other day that seemed to have a serious grudge against my motorcycle. Never seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that before. This is normal. It was going after you not your motorcycle, you must have moved in it swooped past you. If you're on your motorcycle and you hit something that stops you, they will attack. If you have a train of them behind you and you log off, they will attack you as you're logging back on and kill you. There's a period of time when you're not quite in the world and not quite outside of it and they're able to do you damage but you're not able to do anything about it.

Not sure that was the case, as it nailed my bike several times after I got off to fight it. I'd accept once, i.e. the attack sequence was already running when I disembarked, but I don't think that would explain multiple attacks (I wasn't between the vulture and the bike. I was off to the side, and vulture was completely ignoring me.).... Maybe the AI thought I was still on the bike for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norush Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Use a bone knife - it strikes very quickly and will briefly knock the buzzard back. You can walk backwards from the buzzard while looking at it, hit the attack button over and over and kill them after a few hits. Once I started doing this buzzards became much less of a pain to deal with. If your transport is moving too slowly, hop off and deal with them in this manner.

Rotor Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Still away from my gaming rig, but I am in a city very dog friendly. Every time I see a Fido hike a leg i feel El cabong is getting a little peck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
