Confronting a town filled with zombies single-handedly can be incredibly challenging. Fortunately, in Dead Rails, players are equipped with a unique feature that allows them to tame various animals, providing critical assistance during intense encounters. One of the most effective, yet formidable allies you can have is the Wolf. Curious about how to tame this wild creature? Read on!
Locating Wolves in Dead Rails
In Dead Rails, wolves are typically found in packs of 3-6 in the desolate expanses between checkpoints. Players must remain vigilant, as these creatures boast a fast movement speed and can become overwhelming if not dealt with swiftly.
Adding to the challenge, there’s a slight chance a Werewolf might spawn within these packs. Werewolves are among the most formidable foes you can encounter, making it advisable to avoid engaging them, especially if you aren’t equipped yet. Regardless, be prepared for aggression from wild wolves, as they will attack on sight.
Steps to Tame Wolves in Dead Rails
Taming wolves is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to successfully tame these fearsome beasts:
- 1. Retrieve a corpse from your inventory by using the ‘F‘ key.
- 2. Hold the corpse in front of you by pressing the left mouse button.
- 3. Move the corpse towards the Wolf’s mouth; placing it on the ground won’t suffice.
- 4. When the wolf approaches, it will ignore you and consume the corpse.
- 5. Keep additional corpses ready for taming more wolves quickly, as a tamed wolf will begin attacking other wild wolves and may sustain damage in the process.
It’s crucial that you do not hold the corpse too far from the Wolf’s mouth; otherwise, you risk being attacked instead. Each wolf requires a complete corpse for taming, so carry at least three in your inventory.
The easiest way to obtain corpses is by defeating zombies, though any deceased creature available in the game, including horses, can be used for this purpose.
An exciting new feature from the latest update allows players to select the Packmaster class for 35 Dead Rails Bonds. This class spawns with three tamed wolves right from the start, making wolf taming even more accessible. When the wolves approach, simply stand your ground; once one bites, you will successfully tame it!
Utilizing Tamed Wolves in Dead Rails
After taming a wolf in Dead Rails, you can leverage its abilities in several ways, including:
1. Build Your Own Wolf Army
Upon taming a wolf, it will fiercely defend you, even attacking its former packmates. To create an army of wolves, continuously gather corpses and tame additional wolves to bolster your ranks.
2. Store Your Tamed Wolves
After taming, players have the option to store their wolves in their inventory. This strategy is particularly advantageous for navigating hazardous areas, allowing you to summon these allies when needed to distract foes and improve your chances of victory.
3. Weld Tamed Wolves to the Train
Another tactical approach is to hold tamed wolves in hand and weld them onto the Dead Rails cart. When enemies are nearby, quickly unweld the wolves to unleash them for a swift attack. This tactic is particularly effective when confronted with Werewolves or during Red Moon nights and other perilous events.
In summary, mastering the art of taming wolves in Dead Rails can significantly enhance your defense against the undead. What strategies have you employed using tamed wolves? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
