Investigate Stingray 2 Iron Forest some one did it? Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

did someone investigated stingray 2? this idiot poltergeist on the helicopters let me no chance to do it. my current save is in front of it. i know when i move they track me so i go step by step and now im at the back of the heli. when i examine it, after the sequenze the poltershit kills me instant. is it maybe an electric poltermolter or so? got more then 115 mt (psydeff) its just to near and doesnt go away from there any idea?

Blaze it 420 and you will survive the poltergeist. Seriously.

Shoot the poltergeist with armor piercing ammo from some distance away. It only takes one or 2 shots. It will seem like it takes a lot of shots, but actually its just because it is a very small area in the middle that you have to shoot so most of the time you will miss. I have done this successfully in many playthroughs with the following weapons: Dragunov SVD sniper one shot, desert eagle, aks-74, even spas 12 shotgun (don't get too close though. Even with a lot of psy protection you still can't get very close without dying)

I am playing assault and took the poltergeist down with an AKS-74 with PSO-1x scope attached (5.0x magnification) regular bullets on semi-automatic.

Took my distance and just keep shooting from afar. Took only about 6 - 10 shoot and boom it when down. I did not had to blaze it due that I shot from a distance.

one hit from a grenade launcher should take it out, as long as you have a bag of weed and some helmet upgrades to allow you to get close enough. try approaching it from the west side rather than the front entrance.

Well I just pumped 80 7.62mm's into the fire Poltergeist and then it finally proceeds to kill me. Guess they are immune to sniper weapons.

Their centre is just tiny to hit: check here Moddb.com

No fuck, I killed it with one or two 7,62*54 bullets. An F1 grenade also works great.

Yes but the target is small and you can easily miss it all together. A low recoil weapon with burst can kill it like a lr-300, ump etc, but you can get unlucky, so you need psy guard if you have to get close.

A grenade can work from longer range a grenade launcher (underbarrel) works best in my opinion.

Responding to an old post here, but this info was super useful, I couldnt figure out how to get past this thing myself till I came here, 1 shot with my default sniper rifle (Honorary Mosan-Nagant) was enough to pop it. just keep trying as others have said. A tip that may be useful as it helped me, was to wait until it stops to pop it.

The key is distance. They get like 20% stronger every meter they come closer and absolutely nothing will save you once they get too close. Grenade launcher works fantastic, otherwise almost any gun will do it. Get it headed towards you and shoot while backpedaling. It's not moving so much then. Timing a hand grenade on a moving target is almost a n art form, but grenade launcher is much easier. It also doesn't take odd bounces away from where you land it
