How do you kill the super tanky two-headed leaping dog mutants?

They seem to just facetank 200+ shotgun shells straight up

Lots of medical kids (15+), lots of ammo and just.
Sigh and tolerate it.
If you think the 2 faced Chimera during the recalibrate the mirror thing objective is bad, just wait.
Only a few missions later, the game forces you to fight a Pseudogiant who uses their stun move more often, does more damage and IS EVEN SPONGIER.

It only took 40+ buckshots from my M860 to kill the chimera (that is the name of the mutant) that I found in Zaton guarding tunnel entrance. My inner stalker got the better of me so I had to see what it guarded so I decided to fight it. I spent 15 medkits, 59 buckshots (I missed some shots so I estimated 40+ to kil it) and used Compass artifact to get maximum physical resistance. It was absolutely horrible fight, boring, drawn out and ultimately pointless. This was on Stalker difficulty as well.

I killed one yesterday. 40+ shotgun shots in the head on maximum difficulty (1.5m distance), ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... I was so lucky there was a pile of barrels i climbed on so the chimera could not reach me. Otherwise, no chane.

Now isn't that a compelling game mechanics, right?

What happens when there is no place to jump to?

RPG, under-barrel grenade launcher, high caliber AP ammo, grenades.......(-_-)

I want to see video of someone killing chimera with grenades on open grounds. That would be glorious.

Use F1 grenade, it has a big radius, you dont have to plant it under its balls like with RGD-5. other then this..... sense of where things will be in 1-2sec is a good thing to have when throwing grenades.
