Editing Siren (section)

==Extermination==
Due to her tiny frame and slowing her pace down when getting ready to scream, Siren generally prefers to be shielded by another big specimen like a [[Scrake]], [[Fleshpound]] or may be even [[Bloat]]. Considering using explosive weaponry throws her around, makes it even easier to lose her track behind the smoke, it's preferred to get rid of her by cutting the crowd, eliminating her before she gets any closer. A [[Firebug]] can make the flames devour the Siren in a blink before she even finds a chance to scream, with flame based weapons like a [[Flamethrower]]. A successful headshot with Firebug DLC weapon [[Flare revolver]] will heavily damage, kill or at least silence a Siren on any difficulty, taking off a lot of hp whether it's onperk or offperk.

When fire based weapons are not the option -mostly because of framerates and clear vision issues-, it's preferred to take her out a rather clean way. The Siren does not have a particularly large amount of health; at most 20% more than the [[Gorefast]]; however, its head is 8–10 times more durable than the Gorefasts', making the Siren harder to kill via a headshot with less powerful weapons. Weapons such as the [[Lever-action rifle]], [[Crossbow]], [[FNFAL ACOG]], [[SCAR]] or [[M14 EBR]] are particularly effective at ranged decapitation, and other weapons with long effective ranges are also useful for eliminating her.

An experienced player can cancel the scream of Siren and keep her voice down by a bit of kiting. For that to be successful player have to attack her with any low damage weapon when she nods down, ready to scream. If she takes higher than the intended threshold, she will unleash her scream right away. The player who engaged her to keep her silenced must be careful as this will attract the attention of other mobs around her, and a missed timing, dealing too much damage to her or leaving Siren unattended will cause her to scream again. If there's a single Siren which is close generally this job is done by the [[Commando]]s or [[Sharpshooter]]s. Any of Sharpshooter pistols or Commando's Assault Rifles within' controlled fire can keep a Siren tame, yet when player can aim properly a few shots at her head will decap her in a blink.

Besides all those, when multiple Sirens spawn as a small group at higher difficulties; rifles or single shot weapons will not come handy unless they're pretty far away. Alternative to frying them or sniping, a [[Support Specialist]] can deal with small groups of Sirens with rapid shotguns such as [[Combat shotgun]] or [[AA12]]. Also high enough [[Demolition]] can eliminate or scatter groups of Siren with a few accurate [[M32]] MGL shots to her torso, as its and [[M79]] projectiles will easily pierce through her scream. Yet, explosives aren't a reliable way of dealing with them from range as their light nature will allow them to blast jump over explosions and smoke screen will make them harder to deal with; tossing them around the corner just to peek later or just in the middle of team to release her bone breaking frequencies. Yet if team need to ditch the multiple Sirens fast, explosives are always an answer to the situation.

The Siren's scream cannot inflict damage through doors and walls, however, the red field passes through all objects; this allows players to wait behind doors for her to come through, therefore a player, such as a [[Berserker]] or [[Field Medic]], can safely dispatch her at short range with the appropriate cover. A distance or distracting factor is needed while trying to take out a Siren from close on an open area. Player have to consider sacrificing some of their health while dealing her in short distances without cover. However, it's still possible to cancel her scream by putting a bullet through her head or body at the right frames of her nod down animation.
