Exploding fish damage.

[The Old Guard]

The damage those annoying little exploding fish do to you is mad. Just had one kill me even though I had over half of my health bar. What the hell devs! Either reduce the damage they do or slow them down!

There are ways of escaping them.

Well the best way to avoid them is to turn and go straight to it, then turn like in chicken, they can not turn has fast so they hit the wall or go on a wide turn

Let a grenade explode next to you and tell me how that felt.

Amount of damage you take from them depends on how close you are when they go off and whether theres terrain between you and it. Although the Crash are fast they suck at changing direction.
Easiest way I've found to avoid or reduce damage is to swim directly at them. When you pass each other just keep swimming . Takes a few seconds for the crash to go off and you're almost always either outside or very close to the edge of the blast radius when they finally pop so damage taken is minimal

For it to do damage to that kind of damage to anything but you and seamoths.

Load up your inventory with those things and start firing them with your propulsion gun, and suddenly they are weaker than bang snaps.

"Hmm. Firing ****ing exploding fish is in fact, not what u expect. I guess I better punch the shark to death with my Prawn instead. My default nothing is stronger than the investment of a special arm and farm raising killer fish."

theres something called a seaglide, its faster than the explody fish (by the way they are called CRASHFISH.)

[Lobo'ren]

You were at half health... Your fault not the fishs!

[nicken chugger]

why would you explore those caves without the seaglide? they have nothing in them but crashfish and quartz

they do have crash powder which is required to make the welder and flares. maybe a few limestone nodes

As long as you don't try to swim away backwards with it. I learned that the hard way.

Early on I only aggro ones near cave openings. They want to bee-line to you, so if you get them to start chasing you then head straight up they often get stuck on the cave ceiling while you're safe out in the open water.

What bothers me, though, is that the stasis rifle seems to be nerfed against them now.

I used to be able to stasis them inside their pod, and they wouldn't come out.

I just played Ghost Update, and I stasis'ed a crash pod. But, when I got near it still swam out after me.

Also, they seem faster. I used to be able to out-maneuver them with speed fins + heavy O2 tank. Now I can't.

They're definitely more dangerous now. Just wish stasis rifle wasn't nerfed on them.

the crashfish as of this patch is able to destroy in one hit a full health seamoth with hullmod on it
