Any techniques to kill fleshpound?

[Endyyy]

I was wondering how you can effectively kill a fleshpound without taking a single hit?

[devhaekses (クセルクヌス)]

Sharpshooter can effectively kill the fleshpound with a headshot using crossbow or higher. (That changes on higher difficulty, since the fleshpound's added resistance to headshot)

Support Specialist's AA12 deals a punch.

Demolitions can obliterate the fleshpound with grenade launcher or pipes.

Berserker can flinch the fleshpound using the fireaxe although a bit tricky. What I recommend is the dwarf's axe since it has knockback, but time your swings.

The Commando can keep help track of health and inform teammates.

The Firebug can burn it but not recommended since it only enrages it.

The Field Medic's armor is tough in which in some cases he/she can tank and let other teammates finish the fleshpound.

what level are you, and what difficulty do you play on?

[Endyyy]

level 4 support, normal.

Pipe bomd, have one available at all times, and like always headshots are good, an accurate assault rifle means force and accuracy to the noggan

[Haunt]

Difficult to headshot with a full auto assault rifle when he rages and moves his noggin. Much easier with a full-auto AA12 and some movement.

Time to YouTube "fleshpound combos". The game has been out long enough that there are many combos, some perks preferred more than others

[Gearfist0]

This game has been out for a good 5 years now ever since its official release back in 2009. People have found ways to exploit the Fleshpound's weaknesses and they're only a Youtube search away, but the methods for doing so depend on amount of people in the game and the difficulty, of which there are 4 preferred perks that can easily take down a Fleshpound under ideal circumstances under all difficulties and any number of players in game: them being Sharpshooter, Support Specialist, Berserker, and Demolitions (which one can probably guess has the easiest time doing so).

Here's one not-so-secret method of killing a Fleshpound as a Support Specialist on Hell on Earth 6-Man difficulty (amount of grenades required drops as amount of people decreases and difficulty is lowered, but this is also assuming you are a Rank 6 Support Specialist):

Step 1- When you see the Fleshpound and no Sirens are nearby, quickly toss a grenade at it and make sure it connects with its body and does not blow up just yet.

Step 2 - Quickly pull out the Hunting Shotgun and use the alt-fire buckshot to cause the Fleshpound to rage.

Step 3 - THE MOST CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT PART - While the Fleshpound rages, immediately toss two more grenades before that first grenade you threw explodes and make sure they also connect with the Fleshpound. You definitely need to make sure they connect in order for the last part to bring down the Fleshpound.

Step 4 - When the Fleshpound rage charges you, you need to jump into the air as soon as it gets to about arms' length, aim downward at the Fleshpound, and then slam it with an alt-fire buckshot that goes diagonally downard from the head down into its body.

If that is all done right (and in about 5 seconds), the Fleshpound will definitely go down (it's even possible to do so without losing any HP). But there are two obvious downsides to using something like this: 1. It is flashy as all hell and your grenade tosses and Hunting Shotgun alt-fire buckshots leave you open to other specimens. 2. Sirens and Husks will absolutely ruin your combo by prematurely disposing of your grenades, and the grenades are critical for this to succeed.

Hope this helps and style onward to battle.

I'll do the other perks in a bit, sharpshooter is done I just gotta edit the clips and upload pretty much

Kite him around and do little damage while breaking the line of sight often, done properly, it should prevent him from raging.

^^this
you can kill a FP in total safety without any rage with a 9mm, if you're quick a butter knife works... he's a big ♥♥♥♥♥cat<seriously? wow "kitty" then> if you have time and room... if he rages let him, then get some distance again... he only chain rages if people attack him.

Demo with M32 and pipes. Stack hand grenades and set off with M32, finish off with barrage. Pipe bombs can also be placed in strategic points to severly weaken/kill fleshpounds as well.

A skillful demo can easily handle mutliple fleshpounds with these tools

[Rigatoni]

A couple shots to the head with a powerful sharpshooter weapon should always do the trick.
