====Defeating Boomers==== Boomers have rocket launchers and can usually kill you in one hit. In order to kill them safely, take cover and wait until they shoot at you before you start shooting back. Just as they start reloading is the best time to shoot them, because their gun has a very slow reload. After they reload, hide again and let them fire. Repeat this a few times to kill them. Equip a grenade. After the Boomer fires their weapon, run next to them and press B. If done correctly you will hear a sound that indicates that the grenade has attached to the Boomer. Run away. You can kill a Boomer instantly and save ammunition by doing this. Another method that can be done later in the game is when you receive the Torque Bow. If you have the Torque Bow, wait until they fire, then launch an arrow at them. This also kills them very quickly. . Take cover and wait for him to reload. Then, use a sniper to shoot him in the head. It will explode after about three shots. When you are reloading let him shoot so that he can reload. Take cover and wait for the Boomer to walk up to you. Let him fire so that he can reload. Then, equip a grenade, run up to him, and punch him with it (and therefore stick it to him). Dive and roll out of the way. Equip a Toque Bow and hold the trigger until you see the arc straighten. This indicates that the bolt will stick. Then, fire it onto the Boomer. It should kill them in one hit, even under the high difficulties.
