[Fraktal]

35 medkits
300 rounds of armor piercing 5.56
40 rounds standard .308

Is this thing unkillable?

Killed it, mutants in this game are hot garbage

Not fun at all to fight

I thought you dislike the game? Why force yourself playing it?

You are not supposed to fight it? Neither the one before the shack nor the one in front of the tunnel. You even get an achievement for running from it. Should say it all.

This is the one where you are supposed to clear the tracks. I got the achievement from running from the first one in the swamps.

Killed the tunnel one recently(the one to the left of SIRCAA). Was fairly easy(on Veteran) though did die a few times as I had no armour equipped. Also killed the swamp one to test if it was possible but then died to emission, so it's at least good to see they can die and are not invincible for some sort of game-y reasons. Had a little help from a group of 3 guys that happened to spawn and distract it, but I don't think they did much damage as they died in no time. Not sure exactly how many shots it took but Mainly used shotgun and assault rifle. They do in fact die. Try more headshots or other possible weakspots. Not sure what the weakspots are exactly(forgot to pay attention/inspect). You'd need to kill one and look at the body. I assume the eyes are always weakspots, but I'm not sure how the game calculates that, and how complex it is - with humans it seems fairly simple making the head basically an instakill weakspot.

From what I've seen there's tougher enemies out there, that I haven't killed yet. Mutant HP on Veteran at least is still a COMPLETE joke and highly unrealistic. I mean you'd think, shooting something 50 times in the head that some bullets would enter the eyes and thus penetrate the brain which should be an instant kill. Then there's the fact basically all of them drop NOTHING(only ever killed ONE mutant that had loot).

Only if you fight in the open, use objects to dance around. Once you get the hang of it the game is easy. Just like every game ever, once you know....

False.

Nor can you avoid the AOE knockdown stun from Pseudogiants. I have jumped when it attacked but got "knocked down" FROM MID AIR.
Just bad design. Stop defending it.

I strongly doubt you hit it with 300 rounds of ap ammo. Looks like a troll thread.

It was from a FORA, so some of those rounds probably missed and/or not hit its head.

I did end up killing it though.
