Question about Volatiles and UV Lights.

[Jimboboiii]

Okay, so I'm playing on Nightmare, and sometimes Volatiles will jump into a UV light and attack me, and run around freely inside of it without caring. For example at the Infamy Bridge. Is this a glitch, why does this happen? Does it happen on Hard/Normal? I'm not willing to play on Normal because at this point I would one hit a Volatile on normal soo..

Red or blue volatiles?

[Jimboboiii]

? I've only seen red ones so far. I'm guessing blue ones are the alpha ones. I only just got to Old Town but I'm in the Slums, Infamy Bridge. I've done like 27% of the story so far.

On nightmare? Yes then. They simply won't give a little ♥♥♥♥. It still works. But they are more resistant. Only will blind them. It will not force them back a lot. Just a bit. More realistic in my opinion.

It's normal, they're capable of doing that.

At maximum potential of attack power, Survivor skill-tree rank and melee weapons obtained at this rank, as well as support from Legend skill-tree damage boosts, especially firearms and bow, the Bozak and Ranger bow are extremely useful against volatiles, as well as engraved auto shotgun.

You'll be able to easily fend them off and survive if you have grappling hook ready at any difficulty, however they're only really dangerous if you're are NG+ on Nightmare (Nightmare Game +), at this point, you definitely want to run away.

The NG+ makes them nearly immortal at Nightmare mode, solo is no longer recommended.
