    You meet pouncers several times before but in act 5-1 there are 2 pouncers directly at the beginning. Weaken one of the two pouncers and wait until he jumps on you. Kill him with the shotgun or chainsaw while he is in the air.

    Note from the comments:

    I found it much easier to just unload a clip into them then leave the chainsaw running. Much easier than trying to time my shotgun shot perfectly.

    JasonDeadlyUPDATE: I could not get them to pounce on casual or normal, but got it first try after switching to hardcore. Might help.

    pyr0lyZerGreat guide and comments. Will give this a go to see how it works.

    Although this may sound like a dumb question...how did you get the achievement notice on the top of your screen?? I can't find that setting.

    flipmodeXXIII@pyrolyZer - I think it has come with the new update. I haven't changed anything in settings and mine now pop at the top.

    I didn't like it at first, but it's grown on me.

    VfV SaviorCan't make it work. They just sit and shoot me but almost never pounce. On all difficulties.

    Omega LiveWire5-1 on casual they wouldn't pounce on me if I already had the chainsaw going. Timing the chainsaw as they jumped worked though.
