Boss HP
How much do they have? 5000? more?
Just curious since the big dynamite does 3000, and was wondering if you could 1 shot a boss or something with that to skip the tedium of shooting it. Then again, they have their stupidly annoying after taking x dmg in y time they start taking less damage (which i really hate especially v spider since it runs away for so damn long and is already a tiresomely boring fight)

So anyways, anyone know how much hp they have?

Don't know their exact number.

Big dynamite Insta kills butcher if thrown properly.

Spider can be killed with 2 nitro headshots.

Assassin is a little tougher than the other two, never actually tried to use dynamite on him.

I've seen a YouTuber throw a sticky grenade at the "feet" of the assassin then shoot it two times with a Caldwell shotgun to detonate it and bring the boss from full health down to 0. I assume one well placed shot would be enough to detonate the sticky, and the shotgun itself most likely did damage to the boss too, but nowhere near as much as the sticky. I've used the sticky against the scrapbeak and the spider, by what I remember it brought both of them down to around 25% of their hp, so imo a well placed big bundle of dynamite should definitely kill all 3 of those bosses in one shot, and I'll have to assume the same for the butcher.

its a bug/exploit with the game that has been in since forever. for every bullet that hits an explosive the explosives will multiply. so if you shoot a sticky with a shotgun you will do like 10x times the damage of the sticky for each pellet that hits. thats why you can insta kill stuff like the assasin. another fun thing if you dont believe me is to throw a hive bomb into water and then shoot it with a shotgun. you will have 10 hive bombs follow you at the same time.

I used to always just instant kill the assassin with a sticky and a single shotgun blast. But in the last couple of patches it has become annoying to do as the sticky (if you hit the boss with it) will not be able to be shot. Its a bug clearly as the bomb just hangs in the air and no matter what you do you cant make it blow up any sooner.
Butcher dies to a single big dynamite or is taken down to 25% health with a sticky. Spider is the same but harder to hit with the big dynamite. Scraps is the worst of the bosses and the most dangerous by fair (followed by assassin but since that boss can so easily be stunned and controlled its not a threat). Scrap is tanky and annoying as if you use a big dynamite or sticky you get zero loot from him.

not entirely sure but 3k should do it for sure (defo with assasin)

sticky bomb is commonly used to take a massive chunk out of boss hp (just over half) so they probably have around 1.75k hp?

i hope bosses or overhauled as a fight or just weakend and removed explosive damage

fighting them is just not fun and using some sticky to make it more bareable or to strait up skip the fight is dumb

Other than spider i just use hand crossbow with poison bolts to kill all bosses now. Makes things so much easier and faster since they just run back and forth through the poison clouds till death
they are around 1065 to 1200. Can be calculatet from sticky : 3 x 4 = around 1.066,6666666667 hp but i guess about 1.065

2000 damage per boss. You can watch the counter go up as they are burning.
2000 everyone. U can check it, by completing quests "deal damage to boss"
