Unable to kill volatiles anymore...

[cunning marlin]

So, I accepted a few new bounties on Techland's website, one of which is to dive kick volatiles and the other is to kill volatiles at lvl 4 chases. Unfortunately, I am unable to kill ANY volatile anymore since the newest patch... their health bars no longer show up, nor do the take damage. While I understood that this was part of the seasonal event, even turning it off and loading the game into the game excluding the event, I am still unable to kill volatiles... any advice or assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Just checked and during the day in dark zones or at night seeing them on the map, I am unable to kill or damage ANY volatiles now... seems like the newest patch has just made them invincible...

theyre just really tanky like they are too op

They take like 7 or 8 hits on normal which is fine in my opinion.

[frail pecan]

yeah On hard with good weapon same arround 7;8 hits which I like so much, one shotting them isnt funny or challenging, they should be hard and Im glad they bufffed

[cunning marlin]

So I just tried... this is what I did:
"
On Normal, without event, Tried using Polestar with legend upgrade, 16 hits... Volatile would not go down... Nor any healthbar showed up...

Used a Legendary Gravedigger ace with 3 legendary mods... 8 hits... It did die, but no healthbar appeared...
For reference, I used to be able to kill a volatile with 2-3 headshots using my polestar and I would always be able to see a healthbar...

I feel like this is a bit too tanky (especially when I'm getting quests to go kill volatiles during a lvl 4 chase) on normal, especially since I'm getting downed in like 1-2 hits... Additionally, I wouldn't mind if this if this were for the event only or on hard mode... but I kinda just wanna have fun, farm a few bounties now and then, maybe some uncommon trophies to upgrade things and having it permanently be like this has kinda killed it for me...

you have to manualy reanable helth bars in the settings

Look the DL1 volatiles are more dangerous and hard to kill and the DL2 volatiles before the Good night good luck update the volatiles are so weak even I can kill them with out boosters and I want keep the volatiles that way so they can be dangerous at night time and hard to kill

[plucky oxide]

Volatiles are super easy to kill, throw flare kill 2 - 3 throw another flare loot and repeat. I don’t understand how people have trouble killing volatiles.

I am killing volatiles left and right. Strangely enough max toughness booster and max regneration booster makes you invulnerable in my game plus a weapon with quick attack stam regeneration + the maximised mods Tip: frost and Shaft: fling + grip: empowerment makes volatiles still very well killable as a cheese tactic. But way more dangerous if you use any of those buffs or don't use a weapon like that. (playing on hardest difficulty so this tactic might be even easier with normal or especially easy) with this method I killed like 20 volatiles ina lvl 4 chase.

After the update sure they are more tanky, but its takes like 5-6 hits to kill volatile on hard, so I dont think they are immortal , before I was 1-2 shotting them, So glad they fixed them.

I get that there are folks who are happy that they’ve made volatiles harder and all that. I’m happy for you all. But for folks who were enjoying it, why are so many happy their fun is now ruined.
Essentially, why wasn’t this an option or an added difficulty to appease both sides of the argument?
I see a lot of, “but dying light 1…” or “that’s how it’s supposed to be…” but for more than a year that isn’t how it’s been… so why take away what one group enjoyed and only appease the others?
I feel like this update has really shown that the community takes pride in lauding over others and is a bit full of the toxic “git gud” mentality…

[cunning marlin]

Thanks. I’ll look for it next time I start up the game…

There are difficulty options and I would guess that if you actually use the features of the game Volatiles on normal shouldn't be a big problem. Just don't expect to swing on them without buffing yourself

[plucky oxide]

Play on easy, you get more health and enemies are noticeably easier to kill.

[wispy current]

the thing is playing on easy doesnt give you any xp its impossible now to get good legend xp farm

[opal oak]

the real cheese tactic is to let them fall from great heights = gravity

[full edge]

Yeh thats easier but not against a lot of them.

[full edge]

If you are already on legendary then you can craft all the Equipment you need to decimate Volatiles

[wispy current]

the point is now it takes to long to farm legend lvl

[full edge]

Does it really?

[wispy current]

yes

[full edge]

I feel like its the same

[wispy current]

?

now you literally kill them 2x slower maybe even 3x slower

[full edge]

I kill a Volatile on hard in like 6-8 fast swings which is like 10 seconds

If they Group up even faster

[wispy current]

yea thats too long

[full edge]

Thats completely fine.

[wispy current]

and also there are low chances that someone has enough resources to make so much boosters to get lvl 250

[full edge]

Maybe they can implement something like an XP item for legendaries or something to make up for it

[wispy current]

without copying and cheating

[full edge]

How is that ? Poppies are endessly available at the witch

[wispy current]

yea but its stupid to just buy go to sleep buy go to sleep buy go to sleep

idk even know if it works that way

but anyway its really stupid

[full edge]

Yeh as I said I don't have much problems but people tend to perceive problems differently. I wouldn't mind a craftable item for more xp
