The heck...strategies for the crawlers?

[OhMyItsAPumpkinPie]

This last one I killed took a sniper shot to the head (red glowy head) an half a dozen handgun rounds before going down. Suffice it to say...in a game that severely limits your ammo, this is absurd. Am I just not dealing with them correctly or something?

Sniper damage is base but I have handgun at 140% and 60% crit. O.o

Shotgun to the head and fully upgraded harpoon shot too will ♥♥♥♥ them up real bad.

run from them

When they leap at you long before being in shotgun range? O.o

You can always try to climb some car and wait for them to come closer, then it is almost like shooting a fish in a barrel.

I use most of my axes on them, its a 1 shot hit, otherwise I use shotgun or harpoon. I found the sniper even fully upgraded to be pretty bad...

Save the sniper bullets for the smoking tall creatures, usually one headshot from cover and they go down.

Ooooh...good idea.

They're extremely weak to fire. Fully upgraded harpoon bolt (with fire) one shots them, as do oil drums and the flamethrower.

I think if they run... err crawl at you you can hit them with the pistol and they flip over. then you can stomp on their heads.. i think.. cant remember though..

One regular harpoon bolt, and 2 shotgun blasts to the double head end of them. I thought they were easy.

I just save my axes for them. Instant kill, no ammo wasted.

I was a bit dismayed when I FINALLY maxed my harpoons and saw those flaming tips, the haunted are NOT burning up WHAT THE FREAKING HELL?!? I would really like to know why this was taken out, along with matches and corpse burning.

If its Possible to stealth kill them....upgrade smoke arrows and profit. Smoke bolts are badass once you get the upgrade that lets you sneak kill enemies caught in the smoke.

The flame death thing was exclusive to the first game because of Ruvik's fear of fire, the enemies in union aren't influenced by Ruvik and have no such issues with fire beyond the normal "you're on fire" deal. There are a few exceptions to this rule later in the game however.

As for the crawlers? Shotgun all the way, try firing a shock bolt at your feet to no sell their leaping ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and hold em in place for a few seconds so you can pump a clip into their faces. And try to get bullet cascade, it's amazingly cheap for such a useful upgrade and makes dealing with the much more annoying enemies in the later chapters ALOT easier.

axe to the face pretty much
