Ramming charge

The Hammerhead is a territorial herbivore with a reinforced head shield and a jet-driven ram attack, and it will charge anything it reads as an intruder. The catch is that it reacts to physical proximity rather than to sight, so stealth and camouflage tricks that fool visual hunters do not work on it.

How to Handle It

Give the Hammerhead space. Because it triggers on closeness, the fix is distance: route around its patch of seabed rather than trying to sneak through. As of Hotfix 3, Hammerheads no longer attack an empty, unpiloted Tadpole, so you can park nearby without it shredding your sub.
