BIG

[yiiieeeha]

So, how to beat him in this new version?
He is not stunned anymore after shooting.

Shoot harder. Those enemies have no armor, so use HP ammo or buckshot fast firing shotguns, a gun with a big magazine works too.

also,if you have an obstacle nearby,run around it,so the big can´t just run you down;)

helps in the swamps,but what about the big in the lab?

it just runs over me and i´m dead even before i can dump the first mag in him...doesn´t matter how good my armor is or what ammo/weapon i use O.o

I blasted it with a good shotgun before it killed me.

with a shotgun? really? O.o

ok,i´m interested now...thank god we have weekend and i dont need to get up tomorrow:)
i will try it,but i don´t see how this will work

[celsius03]

he's a big target, bring guns with big mag cap and fire away
there's no tactics to it. i guess run&gun perk with SMGs would be helpful

[Rampo]

*cough*
often the problem is in front of the screen......
i´m wearing a class 5 armor...but if you don´t repair it and face a big with zero durability...well...no wonder i died so quickly-.-
got the big with a G76 and hp ammo....stressful,but first try with full armor...

but thank you for your answers

[posthum]

Agree they're a problem in the newest build. Not an insurmountable one, but from a game design point of view one that makes even more weapon and ammo types non-feasible.

[PlayerGamer]

Some weapons have a skill that reduces the enemies movement speed when hit, it will help immensely when trying to space your self from it,

using a landmine also helps albeit risky as 1 hit from it will bring it to near death

[posthum]

Landmine is a good call but won't help when encountering one in the wild. If instead of chasing you it had a charge which could be dodged, that would make for better gameplay.

In lab, bait him and retreat back to the door you entered: he is too big(pun not intended) to pass and you can shoot it from a safe position

This doesn't work, he jumps right through the door every time I tried it. Had to pre strike with a grenade and lured him to the anomalies and back down the hall with shot gun to finish him.

Opening with grenades and mines can help, otherwise get some shotgun slugs and blast away

shotgun slugs deal less damage in close range
I would argue that this is ill advice vs an enemy who charges into melee range

ah! you are right, I went and test it.

Went to lab and baited him. It appears that he can't pass through the door when moving normally, only when he charges you.

So far my strategy (in lab) was: locate him, start shooting and then retreating.
Always killed him before noticing this "flaw" ,
Thanks for this.

The few times I found him out in the wild, either I died because of not enough dps( "wrong" weapon + ammo type), found him dead or severly wounded by npcs and thus easy prey....

Its pretty easy to kill a big:

Buckshot.
