Bloodsuckers need to be nerfed

[Humpybunny]

Invisible
Insanely Fast
Bullet sponge
Able to stun
Common

Pick two or three of these attributes, not all five! On any difficulty that isn't easy, Bloodsuckers are completely broken.

Need to give them ability to jump like snorks.

Also, they need to suck blood at some point.

TBH they are fairly easy once you get it how to fight them - even when they are in bigger numbers.

They have been jumping on me like Snorks. They do this pounce attack that knocks you down and you are unable to fight back for a few seconds. The Bloodsuckers are just completely broken.

They are invisible and juke side to side incredibly fast. I'm not a god gamer like you.

I use those things:

• Fall back, let them come (they run to you in a straight line) and shoot them with the AR
  
• They moment they attack you - just step aside (left). This way they always miss and you have yet another opportunity to empty your clip into their head. Preferably shotgun with high armor penetration
  
• Headshots do more damage

they're not as tanky as you think they are, trust me when i say this, hit their face, a few slugs/buckshot there will drop them very quickly.
use your surroundings to limit their options of attacking you and strike first, they get discouraged easily before they attack and may disengage.

They die to 3 blasts from my spas 12. Any further HP reductions would render them useless.

blood suckers actually aren't that bad once you figure them out. Mutants have armor, use piercing rounds, slugs in particular work really well. I also discovered that the blood suckers have like a distortion when they are cloaked, but it's dependant on a certain setting (I haven't figured out which one yet) but when I was playing on medium for a while you can't see them at all, but after I turned settings back up I could see their distortion, which seems like a bit of an oversight.

This game is an IQ test for most

>Invisible
Skill issue, they're easily trackable most of the time. Although now that they don't do their distinct panting and sniffling as they used to, it's harder to track them by ear.

>Insanely Fast
Skill issue, they're fast, but not insanely.

>Bullet sponge
Gear issue. Find a good shotgun, and 5-6 bullets will be enough, at least on medium difficulty

>Able to stun
So?

>Common
Not true. Been playing what, some 18 hours or so, encountered only 5 of them, and one of the encounters was a pair of them, and 2 encounters were scripted spawns.

They're a thorn in a side, perhaps, but a managable one, nothing impossible.

No they should not

[MROOD]

easy way to kill:

options: easy mode

Kill blood sucker

revert back to hard mode

Done

I think it just cause the early game weapons suck for some reason. Ones you get real guns they aren't a problem anymore.
