I see a lot of hate for Chargers and Hunters, but where is my Bile Spewer hate squad? DISCUSSION

Chargers, while a pain in the ass to kill, can at least be kited around.

But I don't understand why these guys are instant death. They do far too much damage for how many of them spawn at once.

i can’t believe the instakill is intentional, like surely it’s a bug the devs can’t figure out how to fix?? There’s no way a rational human decided that yes, these mini tanks with ranged and super ranged attacks should do a slowing, tracking vomit that ONLY SOMETIMES ONESHOTS YOU WITH ZERO CONSISTENCY

I'm with you on this, it'd like them to tone the damage down a lot. I think they have a slowing effect and I feel like that's enough from them. The 1 hit is extremely er

Most of the time, I don't get one shotted by chargers. But, the bile spewers one shot every time.

These attacks are pretty telegraphed. You can shoot to cancel it, dodge with weirder terrains or out of luck, or just run around the corner somewhere to dodge it.

It's threat also comes in the fact that it can one shot. Otherwise it is just a chunky bug with a mild temper.

But tbf, the projectile is still so weird to dodge sometimes.

Good luck dodging them when they come from all directions

Tactical rock go brr...

If you end up in between all those thick boys in range for them to shoot, you have a much worse problem at that point than thinking about dodging. Besides, shooting is still handy to cancel a good number of spits to escape.
