Best way to deal with blood suckers

[Bill the Butcher]

I went into a cave and it just fked me up bad. I was also really low on ammo. What are best places to hit them and with what early game weapons?

[Benjafins]

best shotgun you can find. stay calm. Heal.

I did this and didn't feel at all embarrassed . The first game didn't introduce bloodsuckers until you'd made decent progress and acquired better weapons and armour. This game has you fighting them at the start with the most basic gear - its just poor game design.

back into a corner so they cant attack you from 360 degrees and light them up when you see the shimmer and they appear

They're hard to kill with an early game sawn off or long barrel TOZ. Run and climb on a boulder, crate or vehicle and good luck. They get a little easier with better armour and a more capable shotty.

Unless you have no other choice, I'd say the Joestar Family's Special Move is the best option.

[Mechanique]

The best way? Don't even fight. Just head on through into the artifact cave, otherwise you will just waste ammo and equip durability. Same goes for every other encounter, Shift + W combo is OP.

If you absolutely feel like playing in a sub-optimal way, there is a ramp on the way that you can climb and drop from while the sucker has to go around every time so you have plenty of time to shoot with whatever weapons you have. Shotgun is very good for it's high damage, use slugs when possible but 10-ish hits with buckshot will kill one too.

even with a db bloodsuckers where 2 shot 1 if you hit it good better shotguns in the old game where just bigger mags and better troughput

I try to keep a shotgun on the ready as an anti mutant gun. Bloodsuckers move quickly and can be hard to get until they're right up in your face.

Early game, if you only have the Toz or broomstick is pretty tough.

Once you get the M860 Cracker it helps.

Once I got the Saiga, I found them one of the easier mutants.

Use knife and shotgun. Not hard really just annoying.

If you simply keep dying cause bad guns, low on ammo, etc. You can ho to Options at any time and change the skill level to Rookie. If it seems bugged, either wait until death or simply reload a saved game after skill level change. Now Bloodsuckers are not as strong. Then change it back so you don't seem nearly invincible against NPC gun fights

[GlowWorm]

If you move backwards and to one side, you will often find that their attack animation misses you because you move out of its range and they swing at nothing.

But overall, the best defense is a good offense, so find a corridor or doorway to channel their approach, crouch to improve your main, and watch for the shimmer.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes try to find a spot where they can only attack from one side soon as they move away, heal up

The AI also likes to run and hide behind things so you can't shoot it from a safe spot, would jump down on occasion to lure it back out then jump back up as it approaches to shoot it.
