The Golden Hammerhead is a creature from Barotrauma which may occasionally spawn as a replacement for the Hammerhead.
Description
Golden Hammerheads are tougher variants of the Hammerhead. They possess a hardened blunt head strong enough to punch holes in hulls, and also feature the Hammerhead trademark; four scythe-like limbs, each of which can inflict very heavy Bleeding on any living creature, with 360º of reach. As its name implies, the Golden Hammerhead has gold-colored, somewhat shiny skin, and two motionless fins to act as stabilizers.
In-game
The Golden Hammerhead will attack the Submarine in hit-and-run attacks, punching holes in the hull with its head and retreating to strike again. Lone Divers will be chased and mauled to death.
Golden Hammerheads may spawn as a replacement for a Hammerhead, the chance of which depends on the game difficulty. Golden Hammerheads present a similar threat level to the common Hammerhead. In higher difficulties, Golden Hammerheads will spawn in couples, supported by three Hammerheads. This poses a significant threat to the submarine's hull integrity.
Combat strategies
Due to its heavy resistances, the Golden Hammerhead can be difficult to kill. The Pulse Laser is one of the most effective methods of neutralising this threat, as its Burn resistances are the weakest. Alternatively, the Railgun and Coilgun using Piercing Ammunition are viable alternatives if a Pulse Laser is unavailable, as the damage output of these weapons is still high despite the resistances. It is not recommended to use Physicorium Ammunition on the Golden Hammerhead, as it has incredibly high bleed resist (and is immune to bleeding in some areas).
The use of small arms weapons or melee weapons is not recommended. The damage output of weapons such as the SMG or Shotgun is nowhere near enough to be a viable option against the Golden Hammerhead. Additionally, utilising melee weapons is likely to result in a swift death of the diver involved.
