How to kill best Volatiles?

Any recommendations? They tend to kill me with one hit.

A lot of distance, crossbow

But I chose to take sides with the Survivors. So I don't got any crossbow.

if you managed to fully upgrade throwing knives and found a way to "acquire" a lot of them.. standing in a safe area where you can A) still use weapons and B) have the volatiles to be stunned by the uv lamps. 7 to 9 knives should kill.. you can even use the pierce to hit two at once.. it just takes a LOT of set up...

For me its at the bazaar entrance (game set to easy for selling items and farming).
A 100+ dmg weapon will suffice and get the electro tip mod so you can stun them with a proc and keep hitting them. Fire shaft mod for more dmg and a 30+dmg grip mod so you can 2-3hit kill them. Both mods need a good amount of % crit chance so you proc often enough.

at lvl 3-4 chase balance back and forth at the bazaar entrance inside the uv light so your chase wont end and the uv light will protect you, dodge, hit, repeat.

Ofc get any kind of armor rating on all equipment parts and some %dmg with whatever weapon you use (1h or 2h).

If you die, the loot shouldnt disappear as you should respawn close enough (works for me most times).

And if you wanna go 110% try upgrading the %dmg reduction buff if you got it already as well as the %hp regen buff as that keeps you going/ no need to heal in fight with that (In a run where I kinda min maxed Hp I was actually invincible due to the %hp healing and alot of armor +%dmg reduction from infected and during night on all equipment parts).

The second option would be upgrading mines and one shotting a bunch of volatiles in front of you during chase lvl 4.

Have fun.

put 10 fully upgraded mines on top of eachother and make the volatile run over it. it will immediately kill him.

Regen booster, Shield booster, 500+ dmg Spark weapon. Spam UV light when they attack, or dodge,throw a UV stick when there are many of them. That works for me. The Ballista Bow kills them with 2-3 headshots. It stuns and drops them down on every shot. The con is that you have to get Tokens for more arrows.

Don't, just run or stealth away from them.

But when killing is the only option spam uv and everything else you can.

just get a powerful weapon a few hits will kill him at least thats how i kill them not hard. i kill volatiles with 2 hits

If you don't have a crossbow, get the bow yardstick from vendors. If you have the huntress camp unlocked, buy the ballista or hunter's crossbow. They pack a serious punch.
