How to kill poltergeist?

How do you kill the ghost that basically throws things at you? normally i just run away from it, but theres a quest regarding to help a guy that is stuck in a

Just like any other mutant.
I prefer shotguns. Run behind the walls if you see object floating in the mid air, come close and shoot with shotgun

[Prophit]

shoot them at the center

[Cheyenesku]

shotgun, you have a mist thing flying around

[JonWoo]

Explosives are good. They like to run and hide and if you see where they go, just toss a grenade. Otherwise shotguns are best in my experience.

Just shoot at it

I thought you were supposed to just dodge the chair flying at you. Didn't even know there was a ghost there.

Good looking out.

Shoot them, they're a floaty mist ball that creates debris shields when they're hit enough, then they run away and you hunt them down again while dodging their telekinesis. Rinse, lather, repeat.

solved, thanks for the answers everyone

best advice. you will hear when the polty picks up an object. do not reload. poltys will avoid you at all cost though they can "mele" they dont want to. reload or heal AFTER an object is thrown they take 3 to 4 seconds to pick up hover and throw. put anything bolted down or wall in front of you, move only after they throw obj. if you run into a new room the object wont/cant follow until polty pick up item in the new room. run in run out, reload/heal behind a barrier from projectile. aim center/high of the crackling ghost, zurg in up to him zurg out. ive noticed in this game polty try to hide from you instead of scrambling frantically like in past games. and remember the only poltys that suck are in CS lmao

in past games you could run full sprint and reload, noticed that S2 will slow you to reload. always reload behind cover (makes more sense irl too)

[Hazzmat]

also something i noticed about this new installment, ears are everything. learn to listen, even bloodsuckers have telling audio cues. if you can fight a sucker in shallow water, do so. if shtf hop on a car, hop down engage hop up reload/heal. that's how i escape fleshes/ hogs and dogs.

Spas 12 and point blank. You’ll kill them in 3-4 shots with that beautiful shotgun.

should a poltergeist be able to hit you behind a wall? i know they can throw stuff but i was hiding at a place where nothing was throwable at me but i still got damage for 3/4 of my health, the way i killed him was just shooting him, healing up and repeat, took me like 10 medkits

[Dissociated]

Chase the flying blue fart cloud and empty your mag into it or go rambo with those 30 extra medkits/bandages you got and knife it to death.

i kill them with grenades or the knife if you can injure them a little first. theyre always either too close or too far moving around like maniacs
