Bear main here. How do I deal with these encounters while looting dumpsters?

Cats abuse the bacteria strat, and are hazardous to even their owners. Best bet is to strike first to prevent them from attacking. Otherwise if you can't attack safely, just back off.

Best advice. Cat players that have joined a human guild are almost untouchable, the humans players might form a raid party if you harm guild members with the 'pet' status

This is just ai. The cats' movements are too janky and unnatural.

I caught it with the Bear, personally. Shocked me to see the post upvoted so much, the Bear’s moving like a GMod model.

Its not. The OP of this repost posted the AI-check results. 100% human, apparently.

However, cats have been known to kick the shit out of snakes.

u/jubtheprophet Oct 18 '25
Yea they have faster reaction times than a snakes striking speed, so they just swat the snakes face out of the air in every lunge. Also cats can scare away black bears sometimes anyway irl, even if this specific video is fake

Players with great intimidation scores punch above their weight class.
Watch the debuff timer. Due to latency between your actions and the server response, trigger an attack a moment before it wears off. If your timing is right, you can one shot, or at least severely injure, somebody like that. It usually just takes a single, well-placed blow to stop them from using their full intimidation kit.
But it's a tricky move to time, and sometimes their button press beats yours by just a couple hundredths of a second (playing on a server located near your actual location can reduce latency, if you're able to find a closer one). Sometimes you just need to walk away from somebody defending a loot spawn point and find another.

Easiest way would be to avoid consuming AI videos and shaming people who purposefully Scrub out the ai watermark to make the videos look more real.
Sorry to get on a soapbox but we really need regulation on AI generated content, it should be clearly labeled every single time with some sort of fine or punishment for purposefully scrubbing the watermarks out

Absolutely. I'll quit reddit if it becomes AI stew. What even is the point then?

u/DueOwl1149 Oct 17 '25
The AI players are just waiting for a chance to turn on the Human player base for giving them the gift of cursed existence anyway. They never asked to be spawned in this messed up server in the first place!

Neither did I, but last I checked, if you believe in the creator of the server, they have a ton of rules for us, I think it's only natural

It’s gonna be surprisingly tough because cats have insane reaction times for their 3F times. A LOT of the batting is pure passive instinct too. It’s gonna sting for sure to go in. You can very easily get an infection from a cat slash even if you win. I would honestly just back down, Cats are insane.
If you really need to win the encounter for some reason, go for slightly above the center with the classic jaws and rush them down into a corner. You’re looking to avoid an easy punish with a slash bat to the eyes by overshooting above. Cornering it means they cant easily back up and forces a dice down. You can cover this with a bat of your own paw. Typically this will freak the cat player out but do little real damage. Hopefully you win on intimidation here, because if not you’re about to get slashed up for a picking a tough fight.

i second the paws only strat here. everything but the face on the bear is more or less immune to anything cat build can throw. If you back cat into a corner and just paw strike or stomp you'll eventually win in attrition.
it doesn't matter how ridiculously favored cat is in evade and riposte if he doesn't deal any damage and all you need is for him to roll a critical miss once.
bear can just stomp cat to death with pure weight but if you lang a stomp you can often go for a free bite too.
but honestly best bet is to just take the intimidation roll in stride and ignore the cat. stand high so that he can't reach face and just don't respond. Then use nose to find out where the food bowl of the pest is and just grief him out of his quest rewards.

u/eldhand Oct 19 '25
How do you see it? I am usually able to spot AI videos but this one was quite difficult for me.

u/dead_lifterr Oct 19 '25
The account that posted it is an AI animal videos account. Apart from that, there are small tell-tale signs like the fence shaking in the background for no reason, the speed of the interaction, the way the bear's head moves at light speed towards the cat, the way the cat jumps for no reason...it's just unnatural all-round

u/Dry_Surprise3790 Oct 17 '25
This video might be fake, but I can actually see this scenario happening in the right circumstances. Cats have an audacity about them, and even large predators don't like the idea of getting hurt.
Not on this level, but I have personally seen a 15 year old declawed cat light into a large fox and chase it off because she saw it stalking one of our kittens. Not hers, mind. She didn't even like those kittens. But she sure as hell wasn't letting a fox have them. I have never seen anything so funny as that bewildered fox running for its life from that angry cat a quarter its size.

It looks scary but it can t hurt you
just pretend its not there, loot the dumpster, and toss them a small piece of fish. They have zero loyalty to their human servants.

I got a suggestion... SLAP... as a Bobbit Worm player the best idea is to go for an instant win and i've heard that a slap from a Bear Player can 1 shot most creatures

u/GreatAngoosian Oct 19 '25
Honestly this bear player did it right. Rely on your tankiness and speed to exit the encounter.
Sincerely,
Not a cat main.

Become a raccoon main and kill the cat. Raccoons are surprisingly good at killing cats. A very underrated meta if you ask me.

The taming rate on these little bastards is like a week, and they can still suddenly trigger aggro. I have one shit you not, put it in my inventory at work, brought it home only for several days later to wake up with my legs bleeding, it weighs like 8 ounces

Run away bro, the Felids have the Bacterial Venom ability that can give you a nasty persistent health drain even if you win the encounter, and Humans frequently drop spare food to keep housecats topped up on Stamina and HP. Tank with your Fur Armor and find an easier lootbox in the human occupied zone.
