Are the devs trying to make a game that is fun ? or a game you have to cheat in to survive. Give your heads a shake devs and do something that is fun. Wait 1 year and come back and see the comments , the game may be worth a buy then.I do not zerg games and try very hard not to use mods and I try to play the game the way devs want. The game has potential. the game also needs more optimisation , but that will come.

Just don't go to a biome that is way beyond your gear level, and you won't have any trouble fighting them.
They die in 1 shot, and with a proper gear, you can easily sustain up to 3 hits till your health goes dangerously low. Shield easily blocks most of the damage.
