Why oh why do people feel the need to go kill the Witch? And by that I mean die cause think they can easily kill her
If a witch's bum is plopped in a chokepoint, she needs to be taken out. She is usualy taken down with a shotgun (Pump or auto, does not matter). I've taken witches out using only a pump shotgun before I get to my tier 2 weapons. Somehow, when I cap a witch, I don't get the "you startled the witch" warning. Single player, I always cap the witch. In coop mode, I cap witches if she's plopped in a chokepoint and/or before the event is triggered so someone does not accidently bump into her in the middle of a horde.
In verses however, players playing the smoker love to camp near a witch and drag you right into her arms. Boomers and Hunters love to hide her by placing themselves infront of the witch. added plus with the boomers is that sometimes when he explodes near a witch thats warm (Not yet stardled but agitated) can set her off as well. If I am lucky enough, I take out the witch in verses before any of the special infected can use her.
Take note, that it is possible to stardle the same witch twice, the second involves a moly.
I tend to say the following in rather verses or coop when dealing with a witch
"The witch is cold" - She's in her safe crying mode
"The witch is warm" - She's grunting at you and proceeds to stand up, this includes her "gasping" when she sees you.
"The witch is hot" - She's standing and freeking out
"The witch is steamed" - She's startled and goes bezerk on whomever startled her.
