After using my primary to punch all the puppets to die, and the puppets keep respawning around me...and all i can do is run but unfortunately the mech sees me and both ♥♥♥♥♥ chase me.. And i tried ran to the corner and theres one look special puppet goes beep beep and blow the fk me up.(Sorry for my bad english)

Yes they are! I even was recently killed from a puppet that exploded below me. The puppet spawned trapped on the ground on a building... It was able to see me and chase me... Then when it exploded I was on top... End of the video.

I guess they are aware

They didn't add the block layers connectin to the explosion that the suiders made when they go boom boom but i think they will add it soon if you cry and post about it enough so they will put it on there top priority on there list :P but for real i think they got allot of thing they need to do and fix it about stuff that more imortant that you don't know about that can really ruin your gameplay just be more carfull next time

I have no problem with them. I learned how they look from the distance and not fall into their trap anymore. Mostly lock them somewhere inside, or trick them with wait a little then when they approach, just fast dash next to them, and they still not explode, but confused where am i, and they exploded. Or use my sniper and shoot down the bomb on them. Or play down a radio, turn it on, run away, wait until everybody around the radio, and shoot the bomber.

Dude, if you are looting a military poi with your fists then you are under geared. You need to start smaller. The issue isn't the puppets.

yah..you don't got to a military bunker with your fists. You first get some guns from a police department with a bow..or some smaller military pois that dont have mechs at them. Then when you got something like an mp5 or some kind of automatic weapon you can kill that beep beep beep bomb puppet. Otherwise you have to snipe it from a distance and hope it doesnt pop out of nowwhere on you when your actually in the poi. a glock might take it down since it shoots pretty fast...

Nonsense, all you need is a shotgun and they can be found everywhere incl the ammo.

Yeah, they ticked me off too after getting killed and losing my car to them too, several times. But it keeps you on your toes, and you learn to approach any gas station or POI with them being your primary thing to look out for.

If you sneak around and get close enough (and its a pretty big range, really), their bomb timer will automatically start ticking and counting down 1 minute, after which they will explode whether they detect you or not. This can be used very effectively to eliminate them... and any zombies close to them. The old flare then snipe the bomber at the gas station trick works very well too.

If they get too close to shoot, run like the wind! They are pretty slow, and unless you are really weighted down, you should be able to outrun them and then either snipe them dead or just wait till their timer expires.

The only no suicide bomber puppet military location that u can loot : A2 bottom bigtown, C2 Tower, C1 Observatory, C3 Poi, B2 Airfield ?
Gas station i have seen : B2 Gas station..

For kicks, drive around in the parking garage under the Gymnasium in the city. Usually set off 3-4 bombers that way easy.

Wow, sounds like a you went to a POI that is beyond your capabilities. Welcome to SCUM. The times of casually running as a bamby to a POI to get geared up are over. And that´s good. Hope it will become more granular in terms of accessibilities. Next time work your way up at the right spots. Bomber puppets are awesome fun.

You do know the difference between a feature and a bug, yes? If so, please explain me what your video had to do with the notion that exploding puppets are actually a awesome/fun FEATURE.

[Humpenstilzchen]

They are not awesome, they are the worst and laziest implementation so far. Furthermore it sucks to have an enemy type that represents and reminds you on terrrorism.

It´s already horrible enough that they also jump on that stupid zombie train (no..naming them puppets doesn´t change anything).

The ai is still the weakest part of this marvelous looking and sounding game in my opinion.

Sorry, if this sounds offensive, but it´s just my personal opinion and other devs clearly show what awesome things are possible with this engine.
I wish the scum devs would remove these lame zombies entirely and focus on proper npc´s like armed guards which at least woiuld be a challenge to deal with and puppets would only be generated by dead players just like it was planned anyway.

Not just heatseeking missiles that magically pop up in a building/room that you have cleared 5 minutes ago and run to you and blow you up because ai is so hard to code.
