One hit insta knockout on normal?

[VecnaOfEaldor]

fixed! thank you all for the comments lol i"m just bad at games and kinda dumb

I started the game on normal mode but is it intentional that any and all single hits i take insta down me? The second i get out of snowy area down the mountain following the stream two of them attack me and one hit ko me into a camp of stronger ones that hit me once and insta kill me. like I'm sure I'm bad at the game but its literally the first time any attack makes contact I'm knocked out.

I see that you didn't play for very long but I don't want to assume, is this happening right after spawn?

Sounds like just bad luck, plus build armor its quite easy.

Yeah, that's pretty normal. If health isn't full and you have no armor - then expect to be taken out in one hit no matter the difficulty. . .then cut yourself down and run away.

As you play your level goes up, the strength icon, that increases your health and stuff too

You can see your healthbar on the lower right corner of the screen, it's the red bar. After looting the boxes around the heli you should eat a health med (orange little thingies in your inventory on the left side) They'll increase your health to max pretty fast and there's almost always some around the crash site. On max health you can easily take 4-5 hits.

Edit: If you don't find any health meds around the crash site you can be sneaky and don't engage in combat. If you can't fight, run.

The big enemies throw you on the ground when they hit you and you aren't invincible there, they also do a ton of damage. There are also different kinds of cannibal tribes, that are armored and carry a weapon, they do more damage too. Just go somewhere else, where the naked crawlers are, they are annoying but don't do much damage.
