Striped Skunk
Chemical warfare on four legs.
Warning
DO NOT APPROACH
Will deploy blinding spray if threatened.
The Striped Skunk might look harmless, but it possesses one of the most annoying defense mechanisms in the game. Found waddling through the forests of Leonida and suburban backyards , this animal demands respect.
Inheriting the mechanic from Red Dead Redemption 2 , skunks will raise their tails as a warning. If you ignore it, they release a chemical spray that can blur your vision (screen distortion effect) and potentially alert other predators due to the scent.
