Topic: Spencer's Ranger takes another life...

OK... maybe I'm just a weakling...
but does anyone else die really easily from the Spencer Gang's ranged thug... dude... guy...?

He hits me for 11 three times and I'm done!

Obviously I need to boost up my defence some how? Or do you need to just pile all your points into Agility like every seems to have done so they can't hit you?

...where is the bridge...

Re: Spencer's Ranger takes another life...

What level are you? Ranged defence is based on mind, so you're the best one here to deal with it, you just need more health. Generally you have to use
Spoiler:

the terrain, and hide behind things, he comes round the corner, and bam, kill him quick before he can destroy you.

I first killed them with no luck involved at level 5. Before then, it was about 50/50 me/him loose/win.

Phreak has it there. There is definitely a strategy involved.

Are you playing?

Re: Spencer's Ranger takes another life...

Yea, it's one of the main things that make the game really heaps better than MFoN 1.0

Oh, and Truck, after the new ranged adjustment, don't expect to be fighting them any time soon. Before the adjustment I hunted them for $ and tox. Now they're stronger and drop less loot, so they wont be worth it until at least level 6, probably level 7.

Re: Spencer's Ranger takes another life...

I just submitted a bug about these guys.  The new combat tweaks that Brother Erryn put in have mucked with things pretty bad.

I think I've experienced this deja vu before...

Re: Spencer's Ranger takes another life...

I just uploaded another quick change while I take a look. I also cleared your encounter while I was in there.
