I disagree on the Melee Jackals, IP even mentioned a hard counter to them via kicking, and just like any jackal....explosives are exceptionally useful vs them. And with the Plasma....[REDACTED]s, you can easily have access to them when melee jackals appear.

the only issue is in co-op you dont have access to the spin kick sadly

I've only been 1hit by them if they hit you in the back, all other times I've encountered them it takes 2 hits for shields to go down and another 2ish to kill you at full HP. But we were playing on normal

Kicking does work on them, only thats not a viable option if you're up against more than 1. Plus ,the Plasma shennanigans wont work unless you like to live dangerously as the Jackals follow you closely. plus, When your kicking you can still take damage.

Just use explosives. The spin kick has poor input reg. Its super enjoyable being forced to constantly trade at heavy disadvantage over and over. Hysterical

Well, is cursed halo, what did you expect?

sounds like a skill issue

if you're still having issues just use the jump kick instead, it comes out faster and the hitbox lasts way longer so it's way easier to land, you can jump and then activate it in mid air to make it come out closer to the ground

Wouldnt you be able to flank the jackal then?

I like to spam the sword on em. Problem is you have to kill one first, unless you're lucky and got a sword elsewhere

I haven't tested it yet, but theoretically Bitcrushed plasma rifle, with its splash damage, may be able to laugh at them, and is a common weapon.

Personal experience says that TNT and Firework Crossbows are common enough when you see them that they do make a good counter, for those looking for alternatives in the meantime.

will update tmrw night when I test how the BCPR works vs them frontally.

I can confirm the Bitcrushed Plasma Rifle can kill them from the front, found that out last night when we were finishing the playthrough of it. Would have been helpful throughout the rest of it lol

I can also confirm the old school trick of shooting the hands works as well, flamethrower isnt even a question, blunderbuss and big pistol are the same way. frankly there is more tools to deal with them than most people give the mod credit for.
