wtf help 😭😭😭
using biotracker definitely helps. you can only hit them with melee in the ass i think? they're like normal sleepers but their head is protected. avoid being close to them if they wake up , having a player with a shotgun or yourself with one also helps if its time to go loud

bro racist af xd
What? not being racist, i dont know the name of the monsters sorry, the devs labelled them by ethnicity i think
mystic ginkgo

Where are the chargers in r5a1?
these black zombies
idk what charger is
wiki call them giant
they do so much damage and run so fast and unkillable
i guess giant black zombie

Umm so I would call them giants so people know what you are taking about also. If you take the sniper shotgun or choke mod you will be able to kill them pretty quickly
They do 24 but their attack is easy to dodge or stagger them out of
mystic ginkgo
according to the site it says attack their back of head and spine
but if they are running at me, i can't attackthe back
coral jacinth
All sleepers take more damage to the back
But it is best to just kill them
You will need to deal 120
Which is about 4-5 shotgun shots

I run hel rev sniper

I run sledge most of the time
mystic ginkgo
I need to practice sledge, so hard to ge the range down
coral jacinth
For meleeing giants it is a bit risky unless you know what your doing

I need to practice sledge, so hard to ge the range down
When the circle gets smaller
That is when you will hit
The cross hair tells you
coral jacinth
Yeah

No worries good luck! Just let us know if anything else comes up

@mystic ginkgo Sniper is literally the worst weapon in the game for ammo efficiency and for kill speed.
For secondary Machinegun 2 (Veruta XII) for an automatic weapon, and Revolver for a semi-auto weapon. combat/choke shotgun if you want to kill things faster and still not run out of ammo instantly. Burst cannon can be good as well but is very hard to use.
For primary, machine pistol or pdw if you don't mind the low range, otherwise Carbine, assault rifle, burst rifle, and pistol are all very similar stat-wise. Only use hel-revolver if you can consistently line up piercing shots, such as on reactor levels.
For melee, it depends on your goal. If you want versatility and to be able to face most challenges sledge is great. If you want kill speed on small enemies knife is best. If you want to solo giants without waking up rooms spear is the way to go.
Also, the small melee enemies are called strikers
The small-ranged enemies are called shooters
The large-range enemies are called hybrids
The large melee enemies are called giants
The invisible enemies are called shadows
The black enemies are called chargers

have you possibly heard of the appendage known as a "head", and maybe even the possibility of "shooting" it?

sniper is not at all the worst weapon in any stat u mentioned, snipers jusy nieche but so useful, killin speed its literally the fastests since its a oneshot
revo for bigs is a meh to ok cause is fast, burst cannon is only hard cause of the recoil
hel revo is good on any situation even if never line up enemies, its a two shot so is very nice and reload is very fast if u cancel it
u can use dmr doubletap on longer ranges alongside many many primaries and secondaries [tho for bigs usually specials are whats up. not main weapons, so thats kinda free for all, sawed off is really the only big weapon and it has super short range]
spear is only good for learnin then u can ditch it since its way slowe and the range its the only thing it apports to killing a giant
coral jacinth
No I think the sniper isn’t very good as well. And the thermal scope doesn’t do anything really for it you can’t even see through fog
earnest sun
PREICSION RIFLES NOT A SNIPER
precision rifle is a precision rifle, im sorry i get too in my head with this
sniper is the Koning, low ammo no thermal, precision rifles thermal scope and a rifle, not suitable for bigs unless its hybrids or big shooters and u nail headshots
main grove
I hear the police are really good at killing those ones

Also just by-the-by, there are 2 kinds of large ranged mobs, since you only listed Hybrids and this is a relatively newbie thread.
Hybrids specifically are the smaller, spiky headed large monsters that will also melee you if you get close enough. They shoot a crap ton of missiles at you.
Big Shooters or "Chickens" are just.. Big Shooters. They shoot like 2-3 projectiles and are relatively low danger, just have a lot of HP.

I didn't mention the other ones since they are almost nonexsistant now.
even in r1 mos tof them have been replaced with hybrids

You still see them every now and then, it's good to know the difference imo
