How to Deal With Baby Mutants

[DeadxDawn]

What's the best defense you've found to deal with these Aborties?

[Zed]

Compound Bow and 3D Printed Arrows .. single shot anywhere on their disturbing bodies kills them.

You can then collect the arrows, etc.

The previous poster has a better way...my crafted bow/arrows require 2 shots...but so far i've become an almost-expert at jabbing down on them with my spear - which also takes 2 jabs though, but with a hoard of babies i run out of arrows for missing more than i do with all the other enemies.

if a person catches them early when they're all together, and has the explosives to spare, one of these in the middle of them might do a lot.

I find that the fire axe is a one hit kill on them. The modern axe probably does the job in one hit too but I haven't used it in a while.

Took out 5 yesterday with a grenade. :)
Or, let 1 leap at you, block the attack and then go in for the kill.
Can be hard to get the first hit in.

Spear is the best weapon i have found unless you have a lot of shotgun ammo . Also its best to approach them diagonally and do a circle around the whole group while you jab or shoot because they attack in straight line shots into the air .

Rotate / strafe and once they land rush in with machete ready. One or two quick swings and you're good to move on to the next one.

Be thankful they're not as strong as the first game, they could sometimes knock out a couple pieces of creepy armor in a single jump.

i block with the axe and wait till they jump,when their deflected to the ground i kill them. If they are close together i go with a molotov.

Bow or axe.

[{FU}TheForgeryTTV]

Bow with arrows would be preferable. However, I used the katana and I swiftly killed the mutant babies as long as I kept moving around to dodge them. You can also block them as they leap in the air pretty slow then go for the kill.

And yeah, they are annoying as hell.

[Dongatello]

I just use modern/fire axe and strafe around them, or if I'm feeling lazy I just use a grenade.

Was playing with friend on a beach. Its winter, we were building a log fence and suddenly I heard a "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" from him.
Turned to see a hecking ant swarm of those little aborties. I was disturbed to say the least. Friend took out a 'nade and "yeet goes the child"
It was like a gross fountain of huge disgusting jellybeans. Some of them survived tho. Nothing like a good axe in the torso to shut them up.

[Vulgar Saint]

In caves I'd say grenade. Take them out in a group. Outdoors is Compound Bow or they make great training for the pistols although it can take two shots at harder difficulties.

[Humpenstilzchen]

When they are close together in one spot I use a molotov, other than that I just use the modern axe while circling around them to avoid their jump attacks.

Pistol, one shot each, use the silencer and you won't agro any of the other mutants. You can pick them off at a distance. Do the same with head shots for the creepers and then you only have twins and fingers to worry about.

This is the way
