Why do witches cry

I'm pretty sure depression releases certain chemicals in the Brain, so the Witch was depressed before becoming infected. The virus reacted with the chemicals mutatiing her. It also increases aggressiveness.

That's my theory at least.

I cr0wned two standing up witches within 5 seconds in Hard Rain a few days ago. So that's proof that it's not difficult to do it with standing up witches either. (:

But cr0wning Wandering Witches is easier than sitting. If you shoot them, they have a half second/second to get started, in which you can spam the pump/auto again to get them. Sitting ones, if you shoot and fail the first shot, that's it. But good job anyway cr0wning them. I was in that game, you little adnkaljsflw and that was pretty cool.

I always thought they were harder to when they were walking ..which is why I never used to even attempt to cr0wn a witch when she was walking. But ok. But still ..woooohoo.

Witches cry, because there's this crazy group of people (us forum members) who hear her cry, and go out of our way to search her out (even if she's not in the way) just to cr0wn her. Yup, she's not happy.

I should have mentioned that it was my personal preference to wait until she stands up to shoot her. It can be done when she is still sitting.

You can actually get a second shot in from the pump shotgun if you startle a sitting witch, by meleeing right after your first shot (you guys see me doing this all the time with a shotgun anyway), and then getting the second one in as soon as you can. I'm not sure if it only works on normal, because every time I've tried it on adv/expert I've failed, but it does work - I'm just trying to pin down the variables.

I find sitting Witches a lot more difficult, but the Wandering witch can't be head stumbled so idk. I normally try and cr0wn her when she's still sitting.

On the subject of cr0wning, last night on Realism Versus I managed to kill a witch in the Sugar Mill with around 3 shots to her head with a Combat Shotgun.

Only works on Campaign tho. I am pretty sure you also can stun a witch by meleeing her, while she is on fire still.
