How to beat Deadman Danny

A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.

  • 01Stay spread when Chimera Mk1 is overheating; a dive that hits nobody stuns him.
  • 02Slows work on him while he is airborne — use them to stop his approach.
  • 03Avoid fighting low on health near him; Close The Deal hits harder below 50%.
