onehit on "hard" ?

[Celinna]

hello im in the early beginning of the game , i was level 4 and made a level 5 mission in the first valley, there is a mine filled with water, the end fight was only a normal machine dog.

he hittet me 1 time with full 230 life and i was dead... that cant be normal on only hard difficulty?....

That’s not unheard of. Scrappers are pretty aggressive, very quick follow up attacks as well. I would suggest a stealthily approach, should one shot them with silent strike.

The jump-attacks are the worst, but one-hit kills are a thing especially the higher the difficulty is. Always keep moving

The hit registers before the animation shows contact sometimes...dodge early...good news is dodging is pretty easy and pretty effective in this game...

"You asked for it to be 'Hard'. Are you not amused?"

I am going to be bluntly honest: There is a solution to any concerns about Hard being too hard. Just lower the difficulty.

I would say that is normal up until you get to around level 10. Hard gives you less hit points and less armor while it increases enemy hit points and their armor. It also makes the machines more aggressive and stealth harder and reinforcements will come from a further distance. It's one of the better and more dynamic difficulty systems

If something jumps into you. Yea its going to kill you if your health is less than probably 90%.. Don't try to fight them with your spear. Stealth kills or ranged.or tool assisted. Melee is last ditch.

I also had a way harder time with that than it should had been btw, bit of a suprise. Lots of AoE going on in a small space. Even the burrower took much more effort to put down than the ones just earlier. Playing on hardest though so I kinda choose that. I spammed frostbombs for the most of that.

Was kinda the same on the hardest difficulties in the HZD. Roll dodge for life xD

ok thx mates, seems i need to skill some points in the heal tree, there is a skill then you get less dmg when under 25% life, but i dont know if the skill works wenn i hav 90% life and get so much dmg that i die from it.

[Celinna]

stayed with hard so far ;)

I have 500 heath ATM and I can still get oneshot by a burrower rock throw

Those buggers can one hit kill you even on easy, dont worry about it.

Low Health skills+"upgrades" are OP though, so it worth considering.
