Tutorial Bloodsucker

[Sir Lunchalot]

I just left the bunker, equipped my first artifact and then a bloodsucker appears out of nowhere one-shotting me.

yes, before you spam unnecessary comments, I played the original games on master difficulty. I just dont get this concept when you are still in the tutorial?

It's dumb. I agree. Don't be afraid to mag-dump it and use your meds... uh, for a couple reasons. They have pretty ridiculous health.

Didn't really have a problem with it myself. Playing on Veteran so that bloodsucker farked my arse like 15+ times before I managed to finally kill it, cried a little bit, then scurried onwards.
I agree it's a weird decision to slap a damn bloodsucker into the tutorial though.

Bro that ♥♥♥♥ kicked my asssssssss 5 times I died. I think I just got lucky killing his ass.

HA. This one made me giggle :D

I finally got him after retreating into the bunker, camping the entrance and changing my AK to automatic. I guess you cannot compare the prologue of Stalker 2 to the older games.

Have fun in the zones, lads!

Yeah the Bloodsucker was really cheap there. I dont get why they put such a monster so early in the game. Not only because of balancing reasons but also because it takes away one of the coolest monsters right away.

I dealt with it by going back into the middle of the anomaly field where you had to pick up the artifact. You can cheese it on top of the rubbish in the middle.

Lol that is the easy bloodsucker, i killed him in the open after 10 deaths lol, the hard one is in the tunnel for squints bs artifact. I can't drop the one in my game unless i hit it with 20 shells. this is whack as fk. I have reloaded and the amount of times this thing has killed me in this tunnel, it is literally invincible.

I'm not even sure why it's there.
This thing is like a mid game enemy.

But I guess we got to have a flashy intro to keep people for as long as possible so they can't refund too fast lol.

Mod to make them less tanky if wanted. *did not make just sharing.

Ya he was a pain in the ass for me but once I started relying on sound to follow where he was going it was much easier to defeat him.

Same, playing on veteran. Kinda silly/frustrating....eventually dodged juked my way to a win....

Yeah... compare the encounter to the one in SoC that makes people ♥♥♥♥ their pants.
Hell I even got spooked playing Gamma because I triggered the same scripted one going the opposite direction.

I also died 10 times with the first bloodsucker encounter. Then I met a second one in the mine-artifact sidequest which was given in the windmill. This time I died 20 times. But I still refuse to lower the difficulty from Veteran...
