>Spawn Shamblers in your face kind of bullshit.
There's something very simple called a "Shambler dance" and it's very easily done without taking damage on Hard difficulties and below. I mean it's almost 2019 and you still can't do this? If a Shambler sees you on Hard, he will always first run towards you in his alert phase, going for a melee attack. This gives you ample opportunity to start blasting at him (you'll also be very likely repeatedly stun him with the SNG) and position yourself such that you can shambler dance with him. Thus a Shambler spawning "in your face" can very easily be dealt with on standard difficulties without taking an iota of damage. On Nightmare skill however he will quickly attack you with the hit scan lightning if so there will be times you'll get hurt with nothing you could have done with those open spawns but it's not a big deal. It's up to the player to minimise the damage beyond that first shot by proceeding to shambler dance or gaining cover. NM however is hardly the difficulty to judge the game's "fairness" on for a first time run and it obviously isn't made for that. There's clearly a reason why it's hidden.
