Best way to deal with poison headcrabs?

[Pandaren]

Headcrabs are only slighly less annoying that the flying things in Doom 3. But poison headcrabs, what's the best strategy to deal with them?

shotgun->face

crowbar..

let them jump at you, dodge out of the way, hit them with crowbar

 

[jadinolf]

Blue ointment?

That's simple...

RPG.

 

[hdeck]

pistol. only thing that pea-shooter is good for.

 

[Lonyo]

Shottie.

RUN AWaY

BW86's suggestion seems to work well. After the black headcrabs jump at you, they don't seem able to attack for a few seconds. The crowbar kills them in one hit. A pistol requires 5-6 rounds (magnum will do it in 1 hit).

i use the grenade launcher on the SMG everytime i hear one, those things scare the hell out of me.

Crowbar...same goes for all the other little flying things. The gravity gun can be a lot of fun too...esp if you can launch one into another.

Pandaren:

Also note that you can carry only 12+6 rounds of revolver ammo, while you can carry, what, 150+18+1 rounds of 9mm?

It's much better for killing soldiers than the machine gun.... with this you can actually aim for the head and hit.

With any weapon at hand. Pistol for shooting them from a safe spot, machinegun/shotgun/maybe magnum up close.

I use the shotgun a lot, mainly because the game creeps me out and I need to feel safe...

i wish the magnum had 200 ammo =( it's such a good gun close range or long.

Dodge and kill with Shotgun. Besides they do nothing but take your health to 1. Ive also encounted them alone so no real threat.

right. not really dangerous unless they team up with the normal head crabs that will promptly kill you when you have only one health!
