That last one (March 2nd) was strange. I was attacked by a pack of a good 7-8 raptors, hopping around while I was hiding in a shelter. I shot a couple of them, but the rest didn’t flee. Then I saw this rare red run by, and flee. I never shot her, and the rest didn’t flee.
I shot the rest, then had to track her a good while before I got her.
First is the first alpha female I found, she got me once before I got her, sadly this was right before the game server crashed for everyone so I lost everything in my inventory, including her scent gland (which you use to lure out the queen).
Second is the second alpha female I found. (Took me almost two years to find her after the first.)
Third is the queen I got out with her ^ scent gland.
Fourth is a rare/uncommon male, from yesterday. I had found him before, but only wounded him badly, he killed me several times, then ran off and his tracks disappeared.
Fifth is from two days ago, three normal rexes in one go. Seriously. I was calling one over, then two others happened to be nearby. In the years I’ve played this game, I’ve only seen three rexes in the same place once or maybe twice before.
