Pseudodogs are BS in Stalker 2

I never had an issue with them In previous games but in Stalker 2 the amount of phantoms are insane and they keep coming at you. You waste so much ammo attempting to gun down the actual one.

Im in Prypiat right now having a firefight between a controller, the ward and now this POS decides to join in as well out of no where.

I can deal with other mutants even the bullet sponge giants but these f*cks annoy me.

They need to be nerfed , unless I'm missing some kind of tactical way of dealing with them?
