Bladehead enemy?

[Kane]

Howdy all,

I ran into a enemy that had a giant fan on it's head called "BladeHead" that attack me just now and I'm very confused if there's something I was missing about this enemy or if the balancing of this game is just really off at the moment.

With the crossbow and revolver, I probably dealt somewhere around 3000 damage to him without him dying.

I'm hesitant to try and fight him again, has anyone else ran into this zombie and is there some sort of trick to beating him that I'm unaware of?

You pretty much need a full auto weapon with 5.56 or shoot a ton of .300 to kill it, your revolver shots probably bounce off his armor a lot, about 100-200 rounds of 5.56 to kill it, if you get a lot of headshots it only takes about 50

hi maybe landmines can help.
i put one and lured a large mutant into it (and a bear and it saved me in the early game) :)

I save the flashing grenades for them. Draws them in like any other zombie, and one or two is enough to soften them up.

Wait for him to charge, roll past him then shoot him in the back and face as he turns again. shotguns are good for armour.

Yeah there's a lot of traps you can use, flash nades, molotovs etc.
Personally I had found an M249 and like 600 rounds of ammo, so I just held left click on it.

30 or so shots from a 9mm revolver killed it for me, on it's back mind.

I see, excellent suggestions. Thanks everyone!

I've checked all the workbenches too, and cant find them.

ok thanks, (when i find the blueprint, i'll try again with it in my main inventory just in case needed there - but i've been picking up every backpack and bottle i could find, putting things nested inside) :)

You should check your notes if you already got the recipe, the recipe should be remembered there and will actually unlock if you select it in note menu

also cool is the fact that you can convert the notes you read into charcoal by using them as fuel :)
