[quote=“Random_dragon, post:11221, topic:42”][quote=“deknegt, post:11220, topic:42”]It’s the worst part about spitters and corrosive zombies right now. Even when fighting the likes of Brutes you can somehow armour yourself for getting tossed through three walls and have as little as possible injuries from it… But acid, your legs are pretty much fucked instantly the moment one of those bastards lay their eyes on you.
Spitters you can kite, a little bit, but getting into a fight with a corrosive is pretty much a one way ticket to pain-city with a lay-over in pound-town. You’re better off permanently wearing leg splints since it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing rubber boots or flip flops, their shit’s going straight to your thighs.[/quote]
Then do it the way Doom: the Roguelike teaches you to handle big nasty ranged enemies. Back around a corner, get a shotgun, A squared plus B squared equals CKaboom.[/quote]
That’s a useful option when you have guns to your disposal, but I play with wander spawns so that would also mean that the moment I step around the other corner his brothers Tweedle Zee and Tweedle Zed show up in their zombie clown car.
It would’ve been easier/better if acid chews up feet armour faster rather than ignoring it alltogether, perhaps giving rubber waders a longer acid protection than anything else. Then you’re on a ticking clock to smash/cut/pierce/shoot/(hug?) the shit out of the corrosive before your shoes disintegrate into a billion pieces.
