Far Cry: New Dawn Black Bear or the American Black Bear is a Rank 3 predator you will encounter in the video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
The Black Bear is included on the list of 25 animals players must hunt and skin for the Master Skinner trophy/achievement.
The Far Cry: New Dawn American Black Bear should not be confused with the Grizzly Bear or the Monstrous Bear, which are also featured in the videogame.
Smaller in size and endemic to the mountainous areas, the Black Bears can also be hunted if you wish to get more Titanium in Far Cry: New Dawn.

Hunting Tips
Because it’s a fast predator of a high-rank, the Black Bear can be quite dangerous.
As a recommended weapon, we suggest you try the Blunderbuss MG42, which has high damage and a high fire-rate.
This specific weapon allows you to hunt Black Bears from a decent distance and put them down before they can reach you.
