new to game. how do you fight underwater creatures?

how do you fight telluropods underwater?

 

Get out of the water and shoot them.

 

Or can dig an air pocket if close to shore or bottom.
Or play a scenario that have modified weapons.
Or you can modify item config file yourself.
BTW wrong section to ask in, should be "General".

 

I must admit, I have pistols, pulse rifles and sentries modified for underwater, for eg:

{ +Item Id: 20, Name: PistolT2, Ref: Pistol
...
{ Child 0
...
AllowAt: "UnderWater, Planet, Space"
...
}
...
}


I did the sentries because I often build by and/or over water's edge and often had problems with Talon base attacks spawning in the water where nothing could get at them (bad design / bug IMHO).
