how the hell are the boxing challenges even fair?

[Csumbi]

counters dont work because i take damage doing them, and the opponents needs to hit me only twice for me to be defeated, while i have to hit them 100 times. So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ messed up.

I guess less QA time spent on the game?

You cant possibly defeat them without gorilla hands

gets tronger. -_- it gonna be hard if u dont lvl BODY.

i have Body maxed out at 20, almost all the perks in athletics, so this should not be an issue and yet it is for some reason.

you can, it will just take 30 minutes of zero errors fighting and dodging...nonetheless, I hate this quest line anyway, the worst thing in the entire game tops

They're not.
Especially when their hits are literally homing in, they just teleport towards you.

You can turn down the difficulty for the boxing fights or just invest heavily in melee perks.

Well i have Armor, HP and Body pretty high, my char allready reached 50 and the Challenge against the Female Hulk is just broken. I can understand that it will take a while to down her, but killing me with 1 or 2 hits is just insane and i dont even play on hard or extreme just normal.

Perfect blocks/counters seem to be the only way to go I found. No damage from a perfect counter as far as I'm aware, I did however need to get Gorilla hands for the last couple I've had so far.

Unfortunately in these there is no room for error, you can always cheese it and sprint away when they start their attacks and then go in for some power hits. But for me personally, when I got the timing down for the perfect blocks, they started to become much more doable.

so basically its just broken, my armor is pretty high, around 1200, but it doesnt seem to matter what so ever, Body maxed out

its not the best designed system. the enemy auto tracking and doing instant 180's mid combo is annoying and cheap and on top of those 2 things in my experience its also the hardest content in the entire game by a mile (played Very hard which = get hit once results in death)

but its doable. i did it with 280hp reflex tech build on very hard. no perks spent in body no stam (body) cybernetics and i was using blue gorilla arms. lots of reloads and it is frustrating specially with how the tracking after you dodge works. but its doable jsut need to have a flawless match.
need to get used to dodging a 2nd or even 3rd time back to back to avoid the auto tracking combos.

would like some better tuning and polish for it in a patch.

pretty sure all melee (yours and enemy) and melee weps ignore armour.

good to know

They are super easy... like super super easy.. you just have to follow the same timing patterns and you can´t lose.
That being said, they are not the best made events, of this game! that is for sure.. I can understand why people dislike them... but don´t think logical, just follow the pattern.

Boxing challenges are not really fair at all.
Your opponents are way op, and the further you go the harder they become.

So you need to prepare properly both in levels and in gear. Even then you're gonna wish you had points in the streetbrawler tree.

Lets face it, not anyone can become a boxing champion.

Noticed from the trailers that the fistfights were going to be awful. They fixed it a bit until the release. You have to tap the block button in order to counter, DON'T HOLD the button. It will take a few minutes to get used to it. If you don't want to counter the punches you can always double jump > charge a heavy punch when the enemy is running towards you > throw another 1-2 punches > repeat

eating foods for stam regen buffs and increases in stam and hp buffs pre fight also help since the buff timers last so long.

the stam buffs in particular let you pummel them pretty hard
