Sting Tail Uhh.....

[FRANKHOWITZER]

Well if theyres two and youre playing solo you're kinda fked. cause they just gonna juggle you until you die. they have an obserd health pool considering what i can do and no visible weakpoint unless you chip it which good luck finding it in a crowd. and my favorite it can lock on to you from anywhere EVEN WITHOUT LINE OF SIGHT. also it insta kills you if it grabs you through a wall or floor which is fun...

Jump when they squeal and they miss you.

I had one grab me, pull me into a group. My plan was to drop a Gunner grenade and book it. It promptly PULLED ME BACK before the grenade even exploded. Nearly bought it to my own grenade. I'm not against the stingtail concept, but that needs a frackin' cooldown.

And good luck reviving your team when there's 2 of them in the room LOL. Just as bad as being in an enclosed space with multiple white rollers. They just force you to focus on them before you can even think about reviving. They've already wasted a couple of my iron wills.

I do think it's a tad broken that it can defy the laws of space and time to pull you outside the map. But maybe I just need to get gud.

They are like a horrifying amalgamation of Smoker from L4D2 and Taser from PD2.

My first encounter I got flung across the room and died to fall damage.

The timing matters, you'll eventually get used to it, if you do it right, the "hook" comes when you're falling and it misses you, since it cannot perfectly predict your arc in air.
Also the position which you are relative to the stingtail matters too, if you're above or below, it it will manage to hook you, even if you go behind a wall.
