How to Beat Huuli Hoarders

Learn how to effectively hunt and defeat Huuli Hoarders in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor for valuable resource rewards and achievements.

Huuli Hoarders are not traditional bosses but rather rare, high-value targets that appear periodically during dives. They are characterized by their glowing, mineral-rich bodies and their tendency to flee when attacked. Killing 3 Huuli Hoarders in one dive earns the 'Got bait?' achievement.

Huuli Hoarder Behavior:

• Flight: Upon taking damage, Huuli Hoarders will attempt to flee rapidly, often burrowing into the ground or scurrying away from your dwarf.
• Resource Drop: When defeated, they explode into a shower of Gold, Nitra, and other valuable resources, making them highly desirable targets.

Strategy for Defeating Huuli Hoarders:

• Burst Damage: Due to their flight response, weapons with high burst damage are ideal for quickly eliminating Huuli Hoarders before they can escape. Shotguns, high-damage grenades, or critical hit builds are very effective.
• Area Denial: Weapons or utilities that create persistent damage zones (like the CRSPR Flamethrower or Corrosive Sludge Pump) can be useful for damaging them as they try to flee.
• Mobility: High movement speed allows you to chase down fleeing Hoarders more effectively.
• Prioritization: When a Huuli Hoarder appears, immediately shift your focus to it. The resources they drop are often worth the temporary distraction from other enemies.

While not as mechanically complex as a Dreadnought, successfully hunting Huuli Hoarders requires quick reflexes and the ability to adapt your targeting. The rewards are well worth the effort, providing a significant boost to your in-dive resources and overall progression.
