About how many survival rifle shots to kill thrumbo?

[Ill Queen Hydra]

I'm trying to figure this out, not sure how strong/weak they are

Thrumbos are enormously tanky. I don't recommend trying to take them out with a single man. One thrumbo once swept my entire colony with 8 people...

[sbmarauderman03]

Over 9000....

Thrumbos have something like 300 hitpoints on their body or limbs. They're VERY tanky to kill and I would not recommend you try to kill them with weapons like a survivle rifle. I'm not sure how Thrumbos would react to be set on fire, though I think they'll run around in a panic as they burn alive slowly.

In my opinion, Thrumbos are never worth the risk to hunt. They'll give you more meat than you'll ever need - unless you've got an entire pack of Wargs and other meat eaters - but colonists can be hard to replace... and you might never get over the emotional void when they die ;~;

I like to hunt thrumbo's with lots of automatic weapons, and incindiary launchers lol.

Unless you are playing with leeani or other fast inhuman race who can kite them, you need some serious firepower.

If you have lots to do in your base w/o needing to go outside, you could also attempt to burn it/hide in your base while it rages (assuming fire proof base) until it puts itself out/stops raging and keep checking it for infections/dies.

Or just play cat and mouse while taking pot shots from doors.

Well, this takes at least two shooters.

I have like 5 guys with charge rifles and I can set the thrumbo on fire, is this enough?

Should be.

What you can do is shoot it a few times, then hide behind a door and wait until it bleeds to death.

Thrubos are easy to take out early game with just a rifle and a pistol, provided you are behind a reasonable length of granite wall with doors at each end.

You use the 'peek-a-boo' method with two pawns. One pops out at one end and shoots then when the Thrumbo goes to attack the other pops out at the other end and shoots. Whichever pawn is under attack retreats back inside. It will take a little time but is well worth the massive amount of meat early game and the valuable horn.

You could thoretically use wood doors but you would be mighty brave.

en raged thrumbo's also make great defense against raids =P

If you got a jogger or someone fast, you can easily kite the thrumbo back and forth while the rest just stand there and shoot at him.
