How to fight it

Combat & survival advice →Healing & medicine →

EDITORIAL FIGHT PLAN

  1. Choose open ground and a clear retreat route before engaging this heavy hitter.
  2. Let an attack finish before committing your next strike; take short openings rather than trading blows.
  3. Keep a teammate or escape lane available while reloading. Treat Pitchskin as a separate, tougher fight.

Avoid: Committing to a long reload while it can reach you.
