i just played for 50 minutes, finally got one to show up, i prepared by giving myself millions of health minutes before
having let my guard down it was able to ambush me. it tried to kill me with some machine that rapidly drained my health (or would've if i didn't have all that health), then i tried writing with it. i wrote "hi" on the roof, then we made it to the ground next to the tower and i tried writing "lmao", but it disappeared, so i just started shooting it, using a bolt action carbine and eventually rockets, all while it tried to viciously attack me with this machine. it didn't die, but when i started to blow it up with rockets, it just evaporated and disappeared, leaving behind a blue explosion effect that faded and a combine ball explosion sound effect. i'm pretty sure that pathetic thing just straight up rage quit when it couldn't get the hit on me. if this is how the last of these things are going to behave, then these things are just way too easy to fight. can't wait to actually TALK and COMMUNICATE with one of these things instead of having to start these pointless, boring, unproductive fights that last like 15 seconds. because believe it or not, PEACE IS AN OPTION........
