Ehehehe, my char survived a direct hit in the same situation with :… on torso. Used the teleporter bionic, lucked out because it put my char in a grocery store out of the damned thing’s vision, then probability shifted through several walls to get as far away as possible, jacked up on some tramadol and codeine, fixed all body parts back to full, put on an optical cloak, went back and chucked emp grenades until the thing was dead. Revenge feels good.
My previous char died from a zombie bio-operator. Protip: do not go into labs until you have a reliable high damage ranged weapon (at least a shotgun) with a decent number of rounds and a pair of rollerblades to run away from every scary thing it throws at you. Even nodachi/katana with ultra-high skill is no match for bio-ops in melee, they’ll fuck you up.
