Avoid startling the witch?

[Andy!]

Why does that witch sometimes show up in the game and why am I not supposed to "startle" her? Shouldn't I try to kill her?

[Rene]

Go ahead, startle it if you want to, just saying that it's easier to sneak past.

[Mr. Alex]

Witch has 1000 hp, so its not easy to kill her unless you have an autoshotgun.
Besides, she will incap you with one hit, maybe not on Easy, but on other difficulties.

Generally if you just shoot the witch and fail to kill her before she incaps you, it shows that you are not too experienced in this game, and you teammates will not be too happy.

Not to mention, during an event or when a Tank showed up this can lead to a disaster, the whole team can go down.

[Andy!]

Ohhh.... Well, I think from now on I'm making it my personal mission to startle the hell out of her during each mission. She deserves it. :P
