Hunting in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 explained

Hunting can serve as one of the best ways to earn money in KCD2. Moreover, it can also help you increase your reputation. As you roam around the world, you will encounter various NPCs who might ask you to bring meat for them. Once you manage to fulfill these tasks, you will notice a spike in reputation.

Fortunately, hunting in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 isn't as tricky compared to many recent games. Even if you miss an arrow and it lands near the prey, it will not try to run away. It is only when you get close to it that it attempts to escape. As long as you maintain the right amount of distance, you can use multiple arrows to hunt a wild animal.

Once you manage to kill it, approach it to collect the skin as well as meat. The meat can be sold to a trader to earn some quick cash. It can also be cooked at a campfire to consume as a meal.

Make sure to go hunting on a horse as it will come in handy when you return from your hunting trip. In case you don't have a horse, make sure to lighten your carrier beforehand as a heavier load will slow you down.

If you are hunting just for money, never hunt more than three deer as a vendor won't buy more than this. The extra meat in your inventory will eventually spoil. Fortunately, if you cook the meat, the process will slow down a little, helping you preserve it for a little longer.
