Its never been possible in realism. She also runs fast if u set her on fire in realism.

Watching someone legitimately try to crown the witch 100 times on expert realism would be amusing

I believe it might be possible? because all of the pellets will need to connect to her head hitbox and if one is off by a pixel then you're pretty much dead, this is something that can actually ♥♥♥♥ people over with the L4D2 witches since they have their hands covering the faces you need to allow them to move out of the way to where she has to almost be able to attack you to get all the damage.

Okay, so in realism expert -
> Setting her on fire doesn't work - because she run faster.
> Crowning is impossible.
> And she's immune to frag round knock back.

Then how do you kill her???

Set her on fire and get really good at running and dodging

Shoot her climb a ladder, might not work in all cases, let teammates kill her.

Shoot her and hide in a jesus spot so she runs away.

4 melee hits.

Head shot with sniper to stumble her then stun lock her and melee her.

Good teamwork.

Ah so headshot knock back still works. Thanks for the info.

Well might, not sure, but you will find out if you try it.

On realism it's impossible to one-shot the witch.
However, on co-op campaign on advanced and expert it's not enough that all pellets hit her, they must hit her head, otherwise she wont die in one shot.

On realism of any kind you cant one hit with shotguns, and headshot knockback doesnt work for the snipers, only for the AK and deagle (due to valve being ♥♥♥♥ at programming).


There are three ways of effectively killing witches in realism, two of which require coordination.

First off is to have all 4 of your team with melee and coordinate so you all melee her at once.
Second option is to all line up as a firing squad as far away from her as possible and just gun her down as she runs though this is kind of unreliable in my experience due to the witches damage reduction combined with the ♥♥♥♥ hit reg in the source engine.
Third and easiest is to just have a molotov, throw the molotov at the witch and go idle while it is in the air, which due to the molo being attached to you but you no longer being in the game mechanically will just confuse and kill the witch.

four. a sitting witch can be stumbled with a sniper head shot, walk up and shove/melee, shove/melee, shove/melee, shove/melee. dead. Also, if you're going to light her, path your run over obstacles. the climb animation is waaay slower than you jumping over something. anything that you have to jump over will work and she will path directly at you, so any obstacle you place between you and her will work, short of walls and other world objects that are automatically pathed around. also, remember that the witch and the tank will finish a climb that is started, so if you have nothing to kite around, jump on top of something then down as soon as they start their climb animation, they will finish it before they jump back down, giving you time.
