Bee ladies are huge assholes. Best way to deal with them, listed in order of preference:
- Antidote shots (really, these are so good they should be mandatory, as they negate so much) - this won't stop them attacking you though so:
- Avoidance - Bee ladies have a pretty big aggro radius, especially when in their 'alert' state - you can tell when the cloud of bees starts buzzing around them/they scream. Noise will put them into alert state, which hugely increases their sight radius.
- Melee the Bee Lady - If they are in your way, sprint up and melee them. If you do this fast enough, they will barely touch you if at all.
- Flee - If you aren't exhausted, you can outrun the bees. You cannot effectively hide from them, though, unless there are other players the swarm can target.
- Melee the swarm - knife gets rid of it in about 3-4 light attacks.
- Shoot the bee lady - their head hangs behind the left shoulder, making it a little awkward to hit.

Single-boss maps where you kill/banish first tend to be absolute clusterfucks. Often times the best way to play that is to hide and let the other teams murder each other. If you are feeling saucy, you can even hide 'off site' - like in one of the adjacent buildings - rather than in the boss building.
However, this runs the risk of having your tokens stolen (which I absolutely thrive on doing to other teams).

Do be aware that fusees and the flare gun can leave a lasting visible effect to other hunters. Sometimes the flare gun light can be bugged and clip through everything, so that it's visible from pretty far away. I haven't seen the latter happen lately, but I think most people don't roll with the flare gun.

For a ranged method, I personally just use throwing knives, especially since you can get them all back in one go from a tool box. Otherwise I'll just run up and stab with the knife since her poison hardly lasts that long now.

Just had a game where my partner got snap-headshotted in his hiding spot when someone whipped around a corner after throwing dynamite into a building I was near. They had approached from a side of the compound where there's no way they saw either of us on their approach. This was at Lawson Station. I ran around to the other side of the giant red building, and the entire time I was running up the walkway, they were trying to wallbang me through the entire building. From the other side of it, neither of us were inside. Seems like they knew exactly where I was running. No bounties had been claimed in this game up to this point.

I'm not joining the steam community screeching about hackers buuuuut this seemed real fishy to me.

So for months my crew and I have been running into the [BB] clan. Some of them are pretty bad but several of them are pretty drat ridiculous with like 3 or 4 k/d.

Meanwhile, last night

This guy changed his name to Wallbanger-9000, was #3 on the leaderboards for a week, then was gone entirely, presumably because they banned him, and now 2 days later he's back at #3 with 1115 kills and 95 deaths

How do we feel about dual wield pistols? Still not sure how I feel about it.

Sometimes, you round the corner and annihilate a trio by yourself, sometimes you get headshot immediately from 50m.

Game is still fun but I wish there was more. More maps, more boss types. Kinda wish Quick Play had a group option, I like picking up weapons and items in the world but understand they probably won't.

QuickPlay is trash and this post offends me, should have never been added to the game imo

Teammate: Makes fun of me for running lovely loadouts because I have no money because we get killed constantly.

Also teammate: Insists we turn around and fight another team when we're 30m from the extract while we have a significant lead.

What's the trait point cost for dual wielding? Or is it like a loadout thing

Just played a game as trios where we killed a duo inside a boss building and their 3rd was somehow a ghost spectator, trashing us on voip and describing our player models, loadouts and every move to us for several minutes (including "yo, don't look at the ceiling, I'm not there") and we could hear his VOIP moving around the whole time.
