Invincible Enemies

[SoggyBusTicket]

At the chemical plant, going against enemies in Exo suits, understandable they're a bit tanky, I wipe the whole squad, bar one Exo soldier, who took 200AP shots, and 40 buckshot, almost maxed SPSA-14 straight to the chest. Still didn't die, and it felt like he wasn't even close to death. He broke my Exo suit with like 6 bullets?? Playing on whatever the middle difficulty was and I feel like I'm at a wall atp.

You're lucky that didn't find the sniper one that is invencible and insta kill you they also have some sort of aim bot, so... you really gonna die.

honestly, I loaded back 10 minutes and went the other way over to the settlement on the left side of the map. Plenty of mutants but yknow, atleast they're not invincible. But thanks for the heads up! Probably gonna avoid that whole area for a while :/

That sounds really bad. Have you run across this in other places too?

There is a chimera in the swamp that i believe is invincible unless it has ridiculous amounts of HP, it got stuck for me and i emptied every single bullet i had into it and several grenades, and it was still perfectly fine, honestly they are designed terribly as an enemy, the one in the arena mission i managed to kill but i had to make every single bullet you got a headshot and still had to finish it off with my knife. (also ran into the exo guy OP was talking about and that guy ate headshots like he had no brain to protect)

They are just tanky AF, i killed it but an Emission started after like a minute so i had 2 choices, stand and fight or run like hell. I stayed and fought but i died anyway :D

What I'm sorta noticing, is the game will throw insane enemies at you, almost to throw you off going to an area? I'm playing the game quite awkwardly and I've only just grabbed the two emission things for the doctor, leaving the sphere and I apparently failed the defence of Zalissya, so the doors are locked into the town-hall, can't access my stash and this singular dude infront of the door, with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SEV suit on btw or whatever its called. Tanked 30 close range buckshot, multiple AP shots to the head, yet nothing. Ended up using console commands to kill him and it failed like 2 side quests??? Idk what it was about but I think I'm gonna take a break from Stalker till the enemies are fixed and so is most of the game. Mid/Late game is actually almost unplayable.

You only need 5 magazines or less for Chimera in that Arena.

[Zebedee]

Chimera in swamp seems intended to be avoided but it is killable. Can glitch it using the shack so it's a static target.

ed: to put spoiler about a wee bug.

The chimaera in the swamp is killable, it's just tanky af.
And you're just supposed to run away from it because of the emission.

If you mean the one by the trains near yaniv... I was able to kill him peaking after 200 7.62 rounds mostly all headshots. He had nothing and there's nothing nearby he's protecting.

I met them twice.
The last one was the most painful. I am packed with loot, barely walking 1km to nearest chest (Malachite), and there were a bunch of Vartas near the enter. I killed most of them np, but one of them is the infinite guy. I wasted much time reloading save, but this ♥♥♥♥♥ just doesn't die. I gave up and now i will have a wonderful trip to another nearest chest (Rostok) - 2.5km. Thank you game.

If you mean South-West of the map, then he is scripted, you are not allowed to go there (story reasons)

[Eagledefender]

Mine was a sniper in Jupiter but was on the border of yanvin. Finally got acces to jupiter and rushed him with the saige d and unload 13 shells point blank in his face. Nothing

[Myyrä]

There are few areas (for story reasons) where the enemies are unkillable, also those spots usually have instakill snipers that you do not even see. One of these places is near the Duga and they're there till you kill Faust in story mission.

This is probably the most idiotic mechanic to lock of a zone I have ever seen in a game.
I really love stalker but this is just beyond incompetent design.
It makes players waste hours to to figure out that this is not a bug - because it hits in total cover - or try to find that sniper.
This is literally how you lose players.
