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?

[Cheyenesku]

Sorry to say but its indeed skill iissue.
Never died on him. Later ones though? Yep.

Ha, right?! That experience still gives this Stalker nightmares to this day.

Make sure the slug artifact you find just before is equipped on your suit, it lets you take the first hit from the bloodsucker that knocks you down. Then just strafe left or right, only fire when you see the cloak shimmer coming right at you

Just go back to the Bunker Entrance where the dead nerd laying ... well dead, wait till bloodsucker enter, unload, bloosucker runs out again, repeat first step.

I can’t believe no one is complaining about the telekinetic one in the barge that one gave me way more trouble

Stalker things

Not a fan of it either to be clear, prefer they be that creepy unexpected thing, than overused often and early to a cheapened effect.

But wtf handles it pretty well on vet, and manages the poltergeist.

This also wrecked me on middle difficulty. Trick for me was to stay in the field while equipping my gear, and having a junk AK ready to go when it inevitably showed up.

If you're struggling, run back into the lab after you trigger the spawn and hold the door. You can't miss.

I don't complain because with this one I only died 5 times

[Mofoman]

I ran, I fired and moved backwards until i crossed the fence towards the scan spot and it left me alone after that.

Well you can technically skip it, but yes - the Poltergeist, again way more tanky and annoying than the ones in the OG games.

Why not simply dodging it? Nobody says, we have to kill it, right? It's not our mission goal. I did it by just sprinting to the direction, the blood sucker comes from. It lost my track in seconds, once I passed the door. Easy.

Same with the telekinetic sphere (Poltergeist?) in that ship wreck a few steps further.

The game tells us to be smart here, I guess.

^ Exactly

As many have said elsewhere already, do not try to engage / kill everything. It will be helpful to evade and play it safe, as that will help to build up your material resources and not degrade your weapons so fast, etc.

Plus with Mutants, it's not like there is anything to loot off of them.

You also are going to come across many 3rd party engagements between two groups and such. Sometimes it's best to just let that play out without you jumping into the middle of it.

It's one thing when it's an actual mission to help someone; otherwise best to avoid some hairy situations, at least earlier in the game when your gear sux.
