CREDITS FOR HUNTING
When you first choose HUNT, you are given 50 credits. Use credits to select your hunting area, which animals you will hunt and which weapons and accessories you will use. Each animal, area, and weapon has its own cost, and the credits you have remaining determine what you can and cannot bring on your hunt.
Your total remaining credits are shown on the bottom of the screen at the center.
When you choose an item from the menu, other selections may become unavailable depending on your remaining credits. Available selections are colored, selected items have a red edging and unavailable items are gray. You can easily have several animals to hunt, with several weapons selected at the same time as you advance in your hunting skills.
As you hunt the selected animals, each successful kill will result in a number of credits added to your account. You can kill more than one animal per hunting expedition, allowing you to earn enough credits to move into more advanced areas with more expensive weapons and more dangerous species. However, if you are killed, all credits accumulated on that specific hunt are forfeit. You must be picked up by DinoHunt Corp. to keep the credits you earned.
There are various methods of increasing or decreasing your credits per animal. When you kill or tranquilize your prey, you will receive credits that are dependent on the type of animal and on your selected equipment usage. For example, killing an animal that was not selected in the menu will give you only half of that animal's total available credits.
Note: Tranquilizing rather than killing an animal will increase your credits per hunt by 25%. Also, using other items from the equipment list can also reduce your credits received from your hunt. Radar, for example, will decrease credits that you receive on that particular hunt by 30%.
