I am starting to believe that the HP of stronger zombies needs to be toned down a little bit. A friend of mine encountered Dire Wolf and he did not last long without any buffs on his pistol. We are playing on Warrior with 300% XP rate. Feels insanely hard cuz enemies are top of the top and we run with medicore guns and armor without many mods.
I am getting outpaced by enemies with gamestage 65, and we are receiving gear based on trader mission progression.
POI lvl 3 and we encountered half of the enemies as radiated and feral. On top of that pretty much I had no meds and my golden lvl 2 AK broke down. I was running around the house punching zombies and hoping for my 3 other mates to clear the premises. Screamer had to join the party also. I never had for a long time such a demanding game, especially in lvl 3 POI. The game is fun as hell and truly shines with more ppl in the party. It is getting mental with an astronomical amount of XP and lack of proper gear.
Newcomers probably set XP 300% gain rate as it was stated on the forums and hope for easier games
