"crabs"?

[Traveler]

What's the best way to deal with those land "crab" things? The knife combat is pretty poor, I feel like I'm just waving it around.

Either chop them to bits or ignore them. They rarely land a hit, and barely tickle even if they do.

If you haven't already, I would recommend getting a propulsion/repulsion cannon as soon as you can. You can launch them away with that.

Propulsion Cannon is arguably the best solution. They behave as though they’re on land even if they’re underwater. Just pick them up with the Propulsion Cannon and toss them into the deep where they can’t bother you.

Run through their masses. Like Sazaku said, they rarely hit you, but when they do, it's like 1 HP of damage

[Coops]

1 propulsion cannon. It kills them instantly. But it goes through batteries like crazy so don't hold them too long. Just grab and toss. Very long effective range.
2. Knife. two hits will kill but you might get bit once. You have to be right next to it.
3. Run and dodge. If you run at them then slide to the side, they jump right by. Timing is key but you can learn to never get hit.
4. Ignore them and get bitten and when you get to a safe spot use a med kit. You would have to be surrounded by four of them and let them hack you for 3 minutes to actually die.

Didn't think of the cannon, sounds effective if overkill.

It is entertaining to see how many ricochets you can do with a single one.

Hadn't thought of doing that...I shall now create a variation of shuffleboard, using the propulsion cannon and asterisk crabs (that's what I call them, anyway).
