I was surprised to figure out that it seems the easiest/best way to kill a fleshpound is with a chainsaw... at least on normal. If you use the chainsaw right, their head is off in like 1-4 seconds... then you just let it bleed out. Before that I had resorted to the painfully slow method of shooting it 3 times with a deagle while running, stop shooting for a few sec, then do it again until it finally died. If everyone focuses on it and has the right weapons they go down pretty fast too. But does anyone have any other ideas that may top the chainsaw? Also whoever reads this... if the person the FP is chasing is low on health, do not shoot it, let that person heal and make sure to let the person know there is a FP following them if they dont know. If you have any comments/suggestions letem rip  |

I think it really depends on the map, # of zeds with them, location, health, how many are alive, perks, etc. so I can't say if there's one straight forward way to kill them... just to communicate it before you plan on doing something just to be safe!
I do want to emphasize watching out for the people the FP is after. First, they may not even see the big guy coming up behind them or not realize their health is low and he's about to get aggroed, so communicate. Secondly, FP's may become enraged on accident from crossfire or because someone goes rambo... forget about your kill counts and heal the person running away! I can't stress that enough since people get caught up in the damage dealing aspects.
If we are all continually gaming with one another, it would be nice to set up a server with just fleshpounds and test out some of those theories to find the most effecient way for taking them down.

I have to say though, I've tested it/tried it quite a bit more, the chainsaw beheads them in about 1-2 seconds if you aim it right, then you just let them stumble around till they die. They don't even get angry, as long as no one else shoots it. (I've only tested this on normal)

Yeah chainsaw seems to be the best on any setting just have to back off and do it a few more times on suicidal.

A trick I've seen people use, is chuck 4 or 5 nades at their feet. Once they explode the FP's legs tend to fly off. Not sure if it's effective or not, I only pissed him off and got blown up.

Ive only seen that work after people have shot it alot, thats why whenever people ask me if I have any grenades I tend to ignore them. I have heard FP's take increased damage from explosions, but to be honest I don't really care. I'd rather not piss them off and have it coming after me when it can be dealt with in other means. Usually grenades just make them mad as far as I have seen, so I stand by the chainsaw |
