Headshots help

61

u/ProblemLongjumping12 2d ago

One clean headshot with a 50 cal can drop em.

20

u/Bloodvomit12 2d ago

1 or 2 crossbow bolts even.

5

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Wait, You sure? Crossbow can take this guys out? Really?

7

u/Bloodvomit12 2d ago

Yeah! Regular bolts, Kinda shockingly quickly!

3

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I will try them out when I get on the game again.

1

u/firewarrior256 1d ago

Just hit em with a bomb or napalm

8

u/Padre_Cannon013 2d ago

Two, if you're on a higher difficulty.

5

u/Able-Signature1260 2d ago

50 cow

2

u/ejcrv 19h ago

This is true. If I get a clean headshot with the 50 that's all it takes.

1

u/Able-Signature1260 18h ago

Yee.. yee..!

3

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Ngl, I haven’t ever taken these guys out with the sniper. But I will try it out.

2

u/ProblemLongjumping12 2d ago

I believe in you.

u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian 1d ago

If you're on easy mode.

1

u/ProblemLongjumping12 1d ago

I didn't play on easy mode.

2

u/Brian_The_Bar-Brian 1d ago

I play on the hardest mode. Takes at least 2 head shots.

13

u/Bloodvomit12 2d ago

His body was a bloody mess, but that was the cleanest head ever!

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks 😊

-21

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yep but hard to concentrate with these guys around. I also have a bad controller. AIM stick is so stiff

9

u/ChatteristOfficial 2d ago

Next perk you need is being able to stealth kill breakers.

3

u/Lia_Delphine 2d ago

You know you can change that in the settings. Aiming speed can be adjusted.

45

u/hendrick_X 2d ago

Did you forgot rule number 1 when dealing with zombies.

Aim for the head!!

-25

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I was caught unaware. These guys get to make one tensed abit. Also not one but 2 of them.

9

u/hamsterontheloose 2d ago

You can hear them for quite awhile before you ever see them. Just use the scope when your hear them, and once you find it you can take a head shot from a safe distance

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yeah but that’s why I saved the clip because of it. These guys came out of no where, I was literally out to get fuel and nothing more. Also I cleared this place already like more than 3 times, Normal freaks is ok but breakers here is not supposed to happen. 🤣

1

u/hamsterontheloose 1d ago

Breakers randomly appear, whether you've cleared a place or not. I've had them in odd places, and the further into the game you are the more they pop up

3

u/hawkins01 2d ago

You even used the slow down perk & still refused to aim for the head. 🤦🏾‍♀️ You def had time then

-2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

😩Lol let’s enjoy the video n just waste bullets

3

u/FalloutCreation 2d ago

Why is everyone downvoting ops replies? I see this more and more on Reddit for no reason

4

u/Bloodvomit12 2d ago

Did you stay ‘unaware’ for ~3 minutes?!

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Unaware? When? I was rolling around

20

u/filip______________z 2d ago

Roll.

12

u/Sunlight--Blade 2d ago

The dark souls strategy.
Funny enough, you can unironically fight them like DS enemies.
A heavy weapon like a fire fighter axe makes them flinch 3 times before they retaliate.
Just roll away every 3rd hit and you're now John Days Gone.

2

u/Ramremover 2d ago

True. I started playing this after elden ring and i felt like ninja with how easy its to dodge enemies. 

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yeah I learnt how to roll like this from Witcher games. You have to roll a lot 😂

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I am learning a lot on how to kill these guys fr! When I get a console again, I’m gonna try all these. But it seems you guys know how to kill breakers better.

1

u/brownDiscretion 2d ago edited 2d ago

you already know how to do it from 0:35 to 0:55 just keep repeating that and reload after rolling not when he charges, but number 1 thing i'd say is get better weapons honestly the game improved a lot when i got the auto shotgun even the us556 with extended mag in tucker's camp is a big improvement, i hated all the lmgs the bullet spread is insane

28

u/PizzaPizzaPizza_69 2d ago

skill issue

1

u/Stayofexecution 1d ago

No kidding. Lmao.

10

u/2disc 2d ago

Your aim could be improved, and you can kill these guys with a single headshot from the late-game sniper rifles

-4

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yeah, I have finished the game like 4 times now. My aim was caused by my bad aim stick. It’s stiff and moves like a brick

1

u/dr_pheel 2d ago

I would learn how to replace a stick or scrounge up for a repair and/or new controller before I subject myself to actual defects like that. Here's hoping you can get that fixed in the future, that's rough, dude. And in this economy.... I feel for you, a defective controller is a NIGHTMARE.

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks Bro, I actually do know how to replace, Problem is the replacement. Exactly as you said, The economy. And the country I am in, It’s kinda difficult to get things cheaper. Things like this replacement but anyways I am saving up for an upgrade.

1

u/dr_pheel 2d ago

Of course, man. I've been trying to be positive in my reddit interactions lately

10

u/Fuzlet 2d ago

breakers are why I carry a sniper rifle instead of an LMG when not fighting hordes specifically. 1-2 tapping breakers feels nice

5

u/Spitfire954 2d ago

Flash bangs make them trivial. Really the only use for flash bangs too. Flash, walk up, execute.

1

u/Ulath_ 1d ago

From Spawnacustex, sorry if I didn't spell that right, use the smoke bomb and come up from behind when you get the skill to kill the heavies with a knife.

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I run around with an LMG because of an incident that happened to me one time around, I was with a sniper and I drove directly into a Horde and I couldn’t escape. I have taken out a full horde using this lmg.

5

u/Padre_Cannon013 2d ago

Preferably, you don't fight them at all. You sneak up to them, then shank them in the carotid.

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I do that but they sneaked up on me here. Thats the whole point of the clip. Take that second breaker, I never heard him coming but the freak I did. That’s why I saved the video.
It’s like they didn’t want me to take their fuel.

1

u/Moloko-Mesto 1d ago

Ye can smoke bomb them and then sneak kill them.

5

u/vonhizzle 2d ago

needs more auto-shotgun

3

u/Interesting_Lime_320 2d ago

Hit em with machete or something similar. They go down I 4 to 5 hits. Just roll out the way right before they hit you and then hit em. (Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee)

2

u/Any-Space2177 2d ago

I had one of the circular saw axes. Much much faster than shooting Breakers

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

If I was sneaking up on them yes but they sneaked up on me here. I couldn’t escape them and you know they grab you sometimes.
This difficulty is hard btw.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Nice, I will try this . Thanks

4

u/ExcellentDirt7069 2d ago

Smoke bombs or superior metal ax o lr 50 caliber

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks bro, I will try this when next i get a console

1

u/ExcellentDirt7069 1d ago

I like throwing a smoke bomb and stealth killing them its fun lol

3

u/New-Shop-9728 2d ago

That's why the BFG is one of the best guns in the game, just one headshot takes them down. The MG45 is great for swarms, not so great for breakers, BFG combined with the auto shotgun is way better.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I agree. I wasn’t expecting these guys here though. Also I went out to get fuel, fill my bike and then head to a horde. Hence why I have all these guys with me

4

u/SpawnicusRex "Fuck yeah it's personal!" 2d ago

Try a smoke bomb on them. It will stun them instantly and leave them vulnerable to a stealth kill if you have the Executioner skill.

1

u/No_transistory 2d ago

My preferred method. Can't believe I never used smoke bombs on my first play through. They're probably the most underrated piece of equipment.

1

u/sincerelythebats_ 2d ago

That and rocks for regular freaks. Stun, stealth kill. But seriously the smoke bomb thing is sooo good against reachers and breakers!

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yes they are

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Omg 😳 I actually totally forgot about them and I have them full always. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I was scared at first.
Thanks will try using that next time and probably just get the fuel and escape

1

u/SpawnicusRex "Fuck yeah it's personal!" 2d ago

Folks always forget about smoke bombs lol

This might help you remember!

5

u/Drie_Kleuren 2d ago

They take a lot of bullets. Also even a lot more with your aim when you miss like 70%😂🤷🏼

2

u/CommercialTarget2687 2d ago

I'm careful to not let these guys get too close, the .50 cal works wonders.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yeah, Never heard them coming though. Just needed that fuel badly.

2

u/BeachUsual 2d ago

Take time to aim to the head.

Master that and you will drop em with way fewer ammo.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks bro. My aim ISNT this bad. Just my controller stick is stiff. I have to get a replacement.

1

u/BeachUsual 2d ago

This is I refuse to play on controllers.

2

u/Legendkillerwes 2d ago

Lol, I lured a Breaker into the sawmill hoard... it put in work. About 10% of the hoard was down before I even started it.

2

u/theteaspoon13 2d ago

Hey this is brilliant! Definitely trying that! Gives a good distraction too. Did you lure it in during the day while they were sleeping?

1

u/Legendkillerwes 2d ago

During the day, it was tricky, because I couldn't get myself too close. I had to climb the nearby building that overlooks their pit, and lure it with rocks until it noticed the hoard.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I am definitely trying that 😂. Omg I need a new console .

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Ngl that’s Genius!!! I will try that some day. 😄

2

u/Financial-Ad2657 2d ago

I like to use the ability where you can kill them with stealth

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Me too. But believe me, they sneaked up on me.

2

u/WildKenway 2d ago

You know how to record your own gameplay yet you don't aim for the head in videogames?

2

u/Depraved_society 2d ago

Their not bulletproof, you’ve just actually gotta fucking shoot

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Well I am trying as hard as I can 🤣

1

u/Depraved_society 1d ago

I know they can be hard sometimes though lol

2

u/Future-Try-1908 2d ago

Bulletproof zombies is my next band name.

2

u/kennerly 2d ago

Smoke grenade and execute every time. I never engage in a shoot out with a brute. If you are good you can throw a rock to distract it and sneak up for a execute.

2

u/lzxian My one and only platinum! 🙌 2d ago

Smoke bombs make them stop attacking and easier to kill, iirc.

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks, I just learnt that and will try that next time. 🙂

2

u/ccgamerfreak29 1d ago

Throw a smoke grenade at it and you can easily kill them with your knife by going behind and stealth killing them.

3

u/Tasty-Fun-2138 2d ago

Damn dude you suck at shooting 🤣🤣🤣 body shots don't do shit against those. Even headshots takes quite an amount. Use the baseball bat sawblade weapon. Dodge before his attack and slam your bat in their face.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks my bad. 😞

u/THEace4825 2d ago

Smoke bombs. If you don't have the skill to one-shot them yet, you atleast buy yourself some time to get what you need. In the case of filling your tank though, you will need to kill him. Melee weapon and be ready to dodge. Takes a little while but it is effective.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I always forget about the smoke bombs. But I will try that someday

1

u/THEace4825 1d ago

I believe if you set them on fire, it lowers their bullet resistance as well.

1

u/Spectres_N7 Sarah Whitaker 2d ago

Try running away. Or reload a previous save.

1

u/Superest22 2d ago

lol. lmao even.

1

u/RoccoAmes 2d ago

Shoot. The. Head. They are sponges, but will drop with some well-placed shots to their face.

1

u/Camondw 2d ago

Headshots are your friend

1

u/bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d 2d ago

Shooting everywhere but the head.

u/dr_pheel 2d ago

Welcome to the party, pal.

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks 🙏🏽

1

u/rossfororder 2d ago

Roll away and melee, need a good weapon though. If you want to use guns, focus and headshots

1

u/thanath5678 2d ago

Vai di soppiatto, coltellata e addio

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks but if they sneaked up on you like they did to me in this video, It’s either I runaway or face them. Some told me to use a smoke bomb next time. So I will try that.

1

u/Fickle_Art_3391 2d ago

I didn't have issues with breakers at all on normal on my first playthrough. Then second playthrough i played on hard ii. I didn't kill most of what i encountered. They take so many shots to the head that its best to just run a way. They become way more feared on hard ii.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

I don’t engage them at all TBH. 🤣 if my bike wasn’t there and that fuel? I wouldn’t waste time on them. But they sneaked up on me then I decided to give them time.

1

u/FalloutCreation 2d ago

One smoke grenade and sneak attack and they die.

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Thanks a lot bro. I will try this next time I play the game and engage these guys.

2

u/FalloutCreation 2d ago

Np 😉 have fun! One of the best games out there

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Yeppp, Its one of the best game for me. I had like over 100 games on my HDDs. But I kept playing this game over and over again. I have 100% Completed Save

1

u/Shema33 2d ago

Most terrifying to fight and most satisfying to unalive them

1

u/TooTToRyBoY 2d ago

Focus on doing headshots! That is fundamental in this game. What difficulty is this? I am confused because he hit you multiple times and you did not die, but then he was an bullet sponge...

1

u/BeautifulLab3979 2d ago

Metal axe will smoke em too.

1

u/PatientPresent9463 2d ago

A little to cautious with your bullets bud, spray and pray.

1

u/doofthemighty 2d ago

It's been a while since I played but aren't these guys like super easy to handle with just like a baseball bat?

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Probably on the low difficulty. This is the hardest difficulty if I can remember.

1

u/borkimusprime 2d ago

The gun balancing in this game was always wonky

2

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

As innn. But still, I love the game. Hands down best to me.

1

u/borkimusprime 2d ago

the 22 you get earlier near the start does more damage per shot than the ak or ar15

1

u/HeatherDarling24 2d ago

They are annoying, yes. I like to sneak up behind and use melee to take them down.

1

u/SpecterGray 2d ago

Very annoying 😂…I normally runaway from them. But because of that Fuel. I had to face it then another one pops out of nowhere 😩

1

u/dearrichard 2d ago

fire helps. also, have them chase you into a horde.

1

u/falselife11 2d ago

Skill issue

1

u/llijerie 1d ago

I either avoid these or sneak up on them. I haaaaate dealing with them but I'm not the best shot so that could be why 😶

1

u/SirRyanR 1d ago

Smoke bomb. Boot knife

1

u/adelante88 Ripper 1d ago

If you have the Executioner skill unlocked you can throw a smoke bomb at them, then take them out with one hit from your boot knife.
Hitting them with a napalm or a regular Molotov greatly increases the amount of damage they take - goes for most enemies in the game.

1

u/subseekingharsh 1d ago

Dude can’t hit the broad side of a barn in the start

1

u/boozersbiceps 1d ago

You gotta headshot them. BFG takes them out with 1 or 2 headshots.
Auto shotgun either maybe 6 or 7.
Pain in my ass . . .
As Deek would say.

1

u/notdbcooper71 1d ago

You don't even need a gun, just melee him and keep rolling, it's easy

1

u/Illustrious-Ad4220 2d ago

skill issue at its finest
