Grunt HP?

[BananaBob]

Hey i wonder how much HP normal grunts have? is it the same as hunters? 150?

[Eos]

I think they have 100 but I would have to test it.

As far as my understanding goes, monsters and players have different HP and/or weapons affect them differently. Just think about how many shot it takes to kill an armored vs it dies to 3 stabs.

[Eos]

Yes, that's true. I thought they have same HP system and all strengths and weeknesses in form of "traits" and damage multipliers similar to hunters.

But we can never tell how much HP they really have.

damn i wanted to "abuse" them as damage test dummys, like how far can i crossbow onehit and stuff, the weapon stats dont tell the full story it seams

Question that might be off topic, but are killing grunts worth it? If I extract and kill 20 zombies do I receive enough XP to warrant the risk of exposure to other players? Thanks guys.

[BananaBob]

Well thanks for the informations, Grunts seam to be really different to Hunters.

@ blood

Well one grunt is 10xp one Hunter is 400xp,
One Level Up ist 300xp (i think)
sooo do the math xP

If you just want to Grind Up your Hunter it might be the best way to Look around for this posters

But i think Just grinding your Hunter and then leaving the Match is a waste of time anyways

Hand crossbow can one-shot to the upper chest at up to 15 meters or so I believe, to the head whatever its effective range is. The standard crossbow can one-tap up to 25 meters to the upper chest and 45 to the head. Explosive and shotbolt are not affected by range. Poison hand crossbow only one-shots to the head at a distance I don´t know and don´t really care about, since even trying to kill with a poison crossbow is incredibly pointless unless you really want to meme people.

There´s also an excel spreadsheet on the internet you can look up where you can see damage values for mostly all weapons at any range for any bodypart, although some values might be slightly off.

I would say, kill the AI you need to kill as well as the AI that seems worth the time and effort as long as you are fairly sure it won´t get you noticed by other players. Farming XP while avoiding PvP works, but honestly, like BananaBob says, I don´t think it´s worth it at all, unless you are like rank 47 and really want to get the 5 rank 50 hunters achievement or something.

I much prefer just wiping as much AI as I reasonably can after wiping the map and getting the bounties - it is way faster, way safer, and way more efficient. You will then also always get to actually keep whatever you farm, rather than getting killed by someone at random before extracting. Killing meatheads is the best, since they give 200XP each, and have a 50% chance to drop a trait, it is also nice to pick up lanterns and use them to kill any AI quickly and for free, especially meatheads and armoureds (60XP), but also groups of zombies and packs of dogs.
