The Boar is a species of passive animal that is dangerous only when aroused. They are found roaming the entire Map.
Boars will attack the player only when attacked first, and they can cause infected wounds or bleeding.
They alert the player to their presence with their oink-like grunts.
The player can use any weapon to kill them but the spear (of any type) or an Archer Bow is most effective. The best way to kill them is with an arrow or thrown spear to the head which will kill them at once. Otherwise they will charge the player and cause considerable damage. A wounded Boar will eventually bleed out and drop dead.
Harvesting yields[]
A Boar that has been killed must be transported to a Butcher Table to maximize the resources that can be harvested. The player can carry the Boar (which causes the player to be encumbered and walk very slowly) or transport the Boar in a Log Cart or on the back of the Truck. The player can also butcher the Boar in the field, but fewer resources will be harvested.
| Resource | Yield on Butcher Table | Yield in the field |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Meat | 4 | 1 or 2 |
| Raw Liver | 1 | 0 |
| Bone | 6 | 1 or 2 |
| Animal Fat | 6 | 0 |
| Animal Hide | 1 | 0 |
| Raw Bacon | 10 | 0 |
