    Worst Elite Outcast Rusher Ever

    So, when the Outcast rushers -- you know, the suicide bomber guys -- when they explode, aren't they supposed to die from it?

    Yesterday me and my friend were in Constitution Hall (I think; I might be wrong on this point), ran into a group of Outcasts, one elite Rusher among them. We weren't in Serious Get Stuff Done Mode™, so thanks to our sloppy playing, the Rusher rushed right up directly between me and my friend, we both jumped out of the way at the last second ~BOOM!~ a couple of the other Outcasts go ragdolling through the air, I took a little damage and got set on fire, my friend was untouched --

    -- and the Elite Rusher was still there, with about a quarter of his health bar, just sort of milling around, like he had no idea what to do.

    I've dealt with countless of these guys -- mostly reds, but more than a few elites, too -- and my friend has fought that many more, and neither of us has ever seen one survive going kaboom. We laughed at the absurdity of it, then finished the Rusher off with our respective weapons of choice.

    So...yeah.

    That's funny, never seen it though most go boom before they get near.

    PS: even though this is not an Elite rusher, if you get them before they see you (one shot and the group goes BOOM!)

    That makes as much sense as anything. My internet service is absolute rubbish so that could very easily have been a factor.

    LOL. Sad to say, but I heard no whistling.

    That was a nice shot. Usually for me, there's always one in the group standing/walking just a little bit too far away, or a veteran. Either way, they're not to hard to finish off.
