Keep on killing the bountys
 
In SW i keep on killing the bountys. Im not sure if this has already been asked, as I have looked about and havent found any other posts like it. I keep on killing them! Its getting really annoying as when I try to use the Zappfly to shrink their stamina, they kill me, or I accidentaly kill them with my other barrel. Any Oddworlder got any ideas?

What are you asking? How to bounty them without killing them? Not once did you ask your question in that post.

If that was your question, I find that the easiest way is to batter the outlaws with thudslugs until they fall unconscious. Although, if you blast a boombat at 'em, you have a better opportunity to hit 'em with more thudslugs when they're down.

Yeah, I use thudslugs and zapflies too, boombats kill 'em to easy . Sometimes [unless it's a boss] it's better to get them dead.Although not every one can be bountied.
Don't think [like I did] that tiny [That big nailer guy that gives Meagly Mcgraw a piggy-back] can be bountied. He can't.

Yeah, almost all the bosses can be whacked with a combination of thudslugs and zappflies. It's still worth experimenting with the other ammo, in case there is a quicker option. The basic process is to cause a big light-blue section in the stamina bar which can be wiped out by something that reloads quickly, like zappflies.

Hmmm tried that thudslug and zappfly one...And it worked! You guys are righteous! Though I sometimes have to start over as I get killed...But what about the big bosses? the ones that cant be knocked over by a thudslug?

Nate 04-12-2007 07:36 PM

I was talking about the big bosses in my post. It just takes a bit more time and you have to keep hitting them with zappflies while you wait for the thudslug to reload.

Right, I'll try that out, thanks

A boombat to the wall or ground near an outlaw/s does the trick, if you do it right...
