Why dont we give the guy a health bar? All the other bosses got one, plus it could give us some helpfull info too

I believe this is because the HHH isn't really important to the objective wherever he appears. Killing them doesn't really have too big of an impact on the game, and he can be anywhere in the map at the time.

However, I agree that it can be frustrating to not know how much health he has left. If this were to be implemented, I recommend making the healthbar only appear when you're looking in his general direction. Perhaps add some sort of bounding box larger than his model that when it overlaps with your crosshair, it renders his healthbar on the screen.

This would solve the possible issue of the healthbar being onscreen at all times, even when he's across the map and not an immediate threat.

It's easy to tell when the Horsemann is on low health as he'll hold his axe with one hand when his health is low enough.

Wait, really? I never knew about this.

still, it would help to have a proper health bar, besides when could you possibly take the time to look how he's holding it's axe if your supposed to run away from it or die a horrible and painfull death?
