Direct answer
Track the flight path rather than chasing directly underneath. Use accurate ranged fire and reload between passes.
Recommended preparation
The goal is not a mathematically perfect build; it is a loadout that lets you move, recover and finish the hand-in without restarting the island.
- Accurate rifle
- Backup automatic weapon
- Open sight line
- Co-op target callouts
Fight plan
- Keep the whole flight arc visible.
- Lead shots instead of tracking the model center.
- Separate so the group sees multiple angles.
- Protect the head or other quest trophy until hand-in.
Route status: Community route. Avoid selling a named body part, trophy or bait object until the local quest giver rejects it.
Difficulty and co-op adjustment
Patch 1.0.9 added Easy and Hard. Easy reduces creature health by 25% and damage by 50%; Hard increases health and damage by 25%. In co-op, spread out, assign one item carrier, and call reload windows instead of emptying every weapon at once.
