bloodsuckers are too powerfull

[BrLoko1💨]

Ive been playing on the hardest difficulty and bloodsuckers are too strong and take too many bullets to kill, when you have to deliver the cargo to the monolith you gotta kill 3 of them, did any of the gsc tried to do this? i managed to do it but only by cheesing the game, this is dumb

[AllanWake™]

how did you cheese?

I don't understand why people always specifically mention the bloodsucker, even though all enemies in the game are basically bullet sponges. That includes Fleshes or bandits. If it's too hard for you, just lower the difficulty level.

There are not to powerfull, there are too many, im encounter 2-5 Bloodsuckers all 5 Minutes, so frustrating.

The Stalkers even talk about, how rare Bloodsuckers are.

Yeeeee, in the lore thy supposed to be indoors at daytime and outside at night...... guess that got cut to.....and rare....

Well in one of the missions you have to fight 4 at once in a tunnel / underground facility
It just helps to have the SPSA-14 shotgun.

those 4 were gone in about 20 seconds each with that thing.
the longest part was the reload.

bloodsuckers are just an inconvenience if you are honest.
and yes, i'm also playing on hard.

soo... in helldivers 2 words - this seems to be a skill issue

Shotgun works pretty well against them..

jup, its the gamer ego, veteran means you got 12inch d, i guess...... i personally like the sponge mutants, especially if the mutant looks like he could take an RPG and does.

most of them are tied to events or locations.
i also just met 3 in the wilds, when you hear the roar in the middle of a forest or something.

I was used to the old games were bigger difficulties meant bullets caused more damage, but it seems that this newer game it just means more enemies?

I agree. My least favourite enemy in a game is one that is dumb, predictable and still very expensive to kill. Some of the horror element gets lost.

I am not even sure if all of their attacks can be avoided with tactile WASD movement. I sort of wish they would just make evasion more intentional and clear cut by adding a side-step function. No iframes or any nonsense like that, just a simple button that quickly displaces you a short distance in the direction you are pressing at the cost of stamina.

I think this is location tied. Narrow path leading over the water at Wild Island. 2 piggies charging and behind them a bloodsucker.

I climbed up in a barrel and granaded the last one, the problem is that if theres more than one and they hit you with the attack that knocks you on your ass you are dead before you can get back up since that attack leaves you with only 10% health so its just a death sentence
