How to kill (some of) the monsters, foes and become The Boss

This is a guide to show you how to deal or kill with most of the monsters in the game

Version 49 of the game.

Buy the shovel

Absolutely a must have weapon when first starting the game, really underused. People overstimate it's power and often goes on sale for a good price of 15 credits! even 3 CREDITS!!



Never EVER consider using stop signs or yield signs as a 'better' option than the Shovel.
The stop sign and yield sign weighs 10x times more than the shovel. Especially the yield sign weighing 42lb


As of Version 47 the shovel received a buff, weighs 8lb now instead of 18lb and his attack range has been increased to avoid hitting teammates from behind giving you more reasons to have a shovel.

Know your surroundings!

Great! Now that you have the shovel here are somethings you must know about some of the parts of the facility on which you explore..

OBJECTS HAVE COLLISION!

Stuff like railings or most of the pipes parts you see on the walls have collision, use this to your advantage against some enemies. it will save your life, trust me we'll get more to that soon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

(Not a railing but monsters won't get you up here still as of Version 45)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

You can jump on these and being able to have the high ground and likely to survive if you don't have a shovel on you.. If you do..

As of Version 45, enemies like thumpers and spiders can get you when standing top of the railings and pipes. HOWEVER, there are some layout of railings that if you stay in a perfect angle and corner that almost as if you are about to fall, you won't get hurt by the enemies.

The Monsters and foes

There are a plenty of monsters in the game that are quite dangerous or make your job more difficult than it needs to be. Some of them are impossible to kill but others can be killed simply with you not getting hurt (kinda). Lets analyse the killable creatures..

ALL THE MONSTER IMAGES PROVIDED IN THIS GUIDE ARE TAKEN FROM THE WIKI.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hoarding Bug - Difficulty: Easy

The Hoarding Bugs are passive creatures unless you provoke them by stealing their materials or simply being in their way but they are a complete joke and you can just smack them 3 times, you'll likely not gonna get hit by one if you hit them first. You shouldn't be struggling if you deal with 2 of them at the sametime.

Snare Flea - Difficulty: Easy

Snare Fleas are really easy to deal with if you pay attention in the ceiling while exploring, they can hide in good spots. if one is onto you then remember to have a buddy on your side to help you deal with it by simply hitting the creature with the shovel, only takes 3 hit. You can also teleport your buddy back to the ship and the bugger will die.

(If you are doing this on solo then you can free yourself from it if you grab the shovel again and hit it or stand still so the bug doesnt kill you)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bunker Spider - Difficulty: Cakewalk

Bunker Spiders are a joke. You can destroy the webs by hitting it with a shovel but the spider will start chasing you if they haven't been in aggro mode. Once one of them chases you, you can hit them while moving backwards, piece of cake.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Experimentation

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thumper - Difficulty: Cakewalk

Thumpers are easier to kill than you think, although they are faster than Bunker Spider and they only go in one direction when charging. His speed limit gets reset everytime it's hurt, so you can take it out easily at a safe distance.

As of Version 47 the thumper speed limit issue has been fixed, now it behaves like it should be, hitting on something when charging in a direction will reset their speed limit making it more vulnerable to attack it easily.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Offense

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bracken (Flower Man) - Difficulty: Hard

By far the most feared Creature in the game and can simply be KILLED (that's right) the way to deal with him is by having a buddy on you carrying a zap gun, let your buddy stun the creature and begin to beat the crap out of him. Or 1 tap him with a double-barrel shotgun you gotten by killing a Nutcracker.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Vow

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eyeless Dog - Difficulty: Medium

There is a few ways to kill Eyeless Dogs, one of them being ramming onto them with the Company cruiser for a easy kill, wait for one to get stuck in a specific spot and hit them with your shovels multiple times, bring a buddy with you that stuns it for easy hits with the shovels, let the environment do the working for you instead.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Titan

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forest Giant - Difficulty: Very Hard

The most effecient way to kill a Forest Giant would be to ram onto them with a Company Cruiser.

Or just throw Easter Eggs at him hoping for the egg to explode and set him on fire..

Not much to say here lol

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Vow

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baboon Hawks - Difficulty: Hard

Baboon Hawks aren't much of a threat unless you carry stuff they find delicious and will try to eat you for it. It's easy to take one down all by yourself with just 5 hits of shovel but if they are in packs it could be a issue to deal with. If you have a well organized crew team you can handle it pretty well.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: March

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nutcrackers - Difficulty: Medium

Nutcrackers are considered one of the new foes added in the game as of Version 45.

They patrol around the facility and when they detect you they start playing a music which begins their combat mode, they hold a double barrel shotgun and they can 1 tap you pretty easily but there are some advantages to deal with them. One of them is to wait for him to start reloading his gun and beat the hell out of him, you can hit him anywhere. Another is to have a buddy of yours carrying a zap gun and easily stun the cracker with easy kill or use a flashbang.

They take 4-5 hits to go down.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Dine

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Masked - Difficulty: Medium

Masked are considered one of the new foes added in the game as of Version 45.

These lost souls will look around for a victim (you) to convert them into another Masked man. Basically zombies but they are smart, they take 4 hits to kill one with a shovel and are easy to deal with one if you are good at keeping a good distance from it, in numbers could be a challenge so hope that your crew team isn't dumb.

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Rend and Dine

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Butler - Difficulty: Medium

Butlers are considered one of the new foes added in the game as of Version 50.

These Gentleman will be seen sweeping around the places minding their own business until they pull out a knife AND TRY TO KILL YOU.. Either if you are alone or you start provoking them.

Best way to take down these guys is hitting them first with a shovel but killing them would cause them to explode and release hornets for the rest of the mission until you leave the planet. Not ideal if you ask me but best to stick with your buddies but if you are a lonely guy then good luck handling this..

Highest Spawnrate of Moon: Dine

This is a quite of a old guide that i haven't updated in a while. I'm considering on changing the difficulties of the monsters that had changes in later versions.

[Zars]

baboon hawks should be at least hard. since ive sine a pack of like 10 kill a forest giant in V60

[Piccio81]

Thanks, ill update that now. also apparently nutcrackers won't attack you if you don't move your mouse as long as you dont do dances.

[toasters toast toast]

You don't have to hit the nutcracker on his eye, you can hit anywhere on him to damage him. It's better to bait out his shots and then attack him. Never leave the nutcracker on 1 hp, as it will fire a lot faster and can easily kill you if you make a small mistake. It's best to hit him once, then twice, and then twice again.

[Piccio81]

Thanks! I’ll update this guide when v50 comes out.

[Cataclysmm]

baboon most common on march btw good guide

[Rue]

You can now kill the Bracken with good movement, no help required... may want a bit of space however.

[Nordi]
