The stupidest thing about this gamemode is the tomahawks aren't one hit from the zombies. The regular combat axes are tho, and the hells retriever is supposed to be better then that. Like wtf
We actually started out with one hit kill Hell’s Retrievers internally, and due to overwhelming negative feedback during playtesting and agreement from the design team, tuned them to be the two hit kill that’s live now.
It just wasn’t fun as a Survivor to die to a single Hell’s Retriever, especially if you’ve made it to the end game.
That said, we’re monitoring feedback and data, and will make tuning changes as needed to further fine tune Pandemic.
