When choosing an Area you have 1 of 3 options, Daytime, Night and Morning.

Hunting Time: Dawn
Dawn is good time for hunting herbivorous creatures, because they are less scarable. Carnivores are less agressive at dawn.


Hunting time: Day
Day is a best time for hunt, because you can see every move of a dinosaur much better than at night or dawn. It is good for beginners.


Hunting time: Night You are hunting at night using night-vision system. At night many of small herbivorous creatures are sleeping. However, carnivores are more agressive at night.


You can also choose to use Observer mode, this is a great way for Beginners to familiarize themselves with the different terrain, dinosaur movements and habits. No weapons or Items can be used whilst in Observation mode, only the Map and Goggles.
