Hey there, just asking if the x-mas husk is bugged cause sometimes i get killed (in Hard diff) with only 1 shot with full hp and sometimes even a little armor(25%), its annoying when ur the only one left and u think u can handle the game and then a husk 1 shot kills u xD haha epic FAIL.

Someone else has experienced the same or knows something about it?

Have a nice day! :)

Behind You!
Never seen this happen before. You were probably just standing on your own pipebomb which blew up when husk fired at it lol.

haha NO, i was a Support Specialist, didnt had pipes on the floor.

Where you perhaps about to throw a handgrenade?

On a similar topic, i actually oneshot a Fleshpound with a fully charge Husk Gun blast and im 100% sure it was not hurt before. Think i was playing Solo Suicidal.

I was wondering the same about the siren. I haven't played kf for months until the recent sale where I bought it for a friend and started playing again. It seems to me on normal they take a lot of your life and their attack has a greater range ? Or have I just forgotten how they used to be ?

True, ppl is getting killed by sirens more often, i do think they have more damage range now.

the only difference with the XMas husk I can recall is the rather buggy hitbox (also with scrakes, if I remember correctly). Otherwise its mostly just psychological or weird anomolies.

Yes. Husk head hitboxes are...interesting. Inconsistent, to say the least. Two of the same shots, may/may not make a kill, as a sharpshooter with a crossbow. Scrakes seem to be fine, for the most part. Fleshpounds are kind of wonky, as are sirens.

I think damage and range are about the same.

However, I somehow get the feeling when that ***** is yodeling at me that her suction effect is stronger than before.

yeah there is a problem: my friend had ~25% armor and 100% hp and he died in about 2 seconds from bloat's bile. On suicidal, that was very weird.

I'm thinking sirens have more range now too. I don't think they do MORE damage, but they can do damage at a farther distance than prior to this patch. I haven't seen any problems with husks, other than the obligatory comment about their head hitbox being funky.

Their damage may be higher, I can't say for sure. But it feels like they are more powerful. But I don't think they are powerful enough to straight up one shot somebody. Perhaps it is a bug.
