Big grunt

[Ice]

big grunt with chains, Just remove him from the game! he's just annoying huge and always in the way.

Do you use the stun rig? You can easily lure him far away with it. The cooldown reduces by 70% if I’m not mistaken, as long as you don’t hit any enemies.

Also, you can do long jumps one after another to avoid making too much noise.

I did a freedom trial yesterday and he spawned in the hallway with the gates you need the keys for. He literally just started running towards me as soon as i opened one of the gates, literally impossible to avoid damage there without stunning him lol

yes, I have Stun rig and I usually just throw a glass bottle down the hall

Same here was doing the last mission and he's near the key area

Did the reborn mission 7-8 times since the last patch. Not sure if he even hit me once. Just use stun-rig or distract him with a bottle/brick.

He's ok. Given that he will only be triggered by sound, but not by line of sight, so it's usually the easiest enemy to deal with.

Try throwing it out of the hall, onto the path you need to take to get the keys, there's a lot of space there. After you collect all the keys, go back and close the white doors with him outside the mansion. He won’t hear the sound of you opening the gates.

Agreed. But when things become claustrophobic and he is there, the Reagent/Player does not have much to work with aside from using rigs or bottles/bricks to stun temporarily and run past him.

The blind grunt ? I think he's really fun to play around,he's not even annoying if you sneak around. I think he's only annoying if you're one of these players who give absolutely not ♥♥♥♥ and walk/run just throwing stun around.
Bottles can help you but you can also make noise on purpose then slowly crouch to another spot,he'll stay there for a while. It is worth noting that noise reduction and slippers works less on him as he has the same sound sensitivity as "don't make a noise" enemies.

The blind guy usually gets added in higher difficulties only, so you should already be aware of the map layouts, on top of being able to have at least a rudimentary understanding of enemy position management.

That said, instead of expecting the devs to solve problems for you, it's usually better to work on your own capabilities and to not get into a claustrophobic situation in the first place, unless you specifically want it to get claustrophobic (for example because you have a spare rig to use on the situation). That way it also feels more of an accomplishment of overcoming that problem instead of the problem just going away on its own eventually without you doing anything for it.

Overall, if you constantly improve yourself, then you eventually come to a point, where you barely use any item or rig defensively and start to use them offensively, just to speed up things.

No, making the game easier would be ridiculous. Plus, the dude barely slows you down. In the rebirth trial I usually use a stun 3 to 4 times (2-3 for the rager and I always save one for the prime asset at the end, I just like throwing all items and stun rig at them) since everyone else is pretty easy to get around. If he's in a chill spot though, I'll do sprint jumps passed him since that works. Those sprint jumps really let you speedrun through the first part too.

Yeah, that's the type of player I am. more of a speedrunner lol

[Similistorm]

lol I feel you,at some point I played like that,a tip I can give you is :
- throw the stun near him,not too close to not stun him. He'll go there regardless of your noise,you can get past him. If he's too close,crouch and throw the stun somewhere else.
- Slide can dodge enemies attacks if you pull them properly so it's easy to dodge him.
- he will rarely ever cross windows,there's one in A section of CTA where he's guaranted to appear so you can use it to escape him.
