Nose Wiggling Mechanics

I thought I'd talk about using your nose to sniff out enemies (and friends) in the dangerous world of the Outback.

Upon reaching level 5, your character unlocks the nose wiggling ability. The nose wiggle is something unique to rabbits in real life, and in Pawsecuted they're often ridiculed for it by the nastier characters you'll meet.

Wiggling your nose on the world map reveals nearby unseen encounters. This is especially useful at night or in heavy bushland when you can't see surrounding tiles.

In battles, it's useful for working out enemy and friend positions. It takes time to wiggle the nose, so don't overuse this ability when you could be hitting the enemy or repositioning yourself instead.

As you level up, your nose wiggling will improve. Eventually you'll be able to see hideouts and track encounter spawn points, then find and destroy those hideouts to stop future spawns.

Even further along, you'll be able to sniff out Evolved Settlements. Settlements are important places to trade for resources, find mercenaries and settlers or accept bounty missions. So this is very helpful if you've just arrived in a new area and have yet to explore it.

The next time you see a rabbit wiggle their nose, they're probably just figuring out if you're friendly or not!
