The difference is that if a Fleshpound runs straight into your team, if you run away for a bit without dying, it'll calm down again and you can survive, unlike the Scrake who will relentlessly murder you. The thing is that it's so easy to cancel their rage by running away long enough and losing line of sight that you can pretty much kite them just like Scrakes. Theoretically, the fact that Fleshpounds enrage on their own is probably supposed to make them more of a threat, because it means you can't just kite them. Because they never stop, they can wreck your team very quickly. Scrakes enrage after taking damage, which means they can be somewhat easily kited if you avoid shooting them, but they never stop. Both seem to deal similar amounts of damage (except you can circle-strafe Scrakes, which I honestly hope they don't keep in the game, it feels kind of stupid and makes the much less reliable parrying mechanic useless by comparison) and eat similar amounts of bullets (which seems odd, Fleshpounds were much tankier relative to Scrakes in KF1, weren't they?). Same thing happens with large zeds and crawlers: The big zed does an attack that launches him forward, clips into the crawler and rides it like a surfboard making it seem like he teleports into your face, and because of his huge mass he'll land on your head and since he has nowhere else to land, it'll just telefrag you.I think that the issue with Scrakes is the way their damage and HP combines with the way they rage. One time on Burning Paris inside the hotel bridgeway that goes over the fountain area, a crawler came from a vent and landed on an ally's head, but because it had nowhere else to land besides the player's head it instead dealt tons of small ticks of damage in a really fast period, killing him in about 3 seconds. Dont get me wrong, the thing sounds cool and all, very threatening. The music volume gets turned down and youre treated to some machinery making noises and a nasty roar. He will have trouble hitting you because of the 200 stumble and the speed of your light attacks. Now as quickly as possible, start circling around the Scrake while rapidly slicing at his head using light attacks. The damage seems to scale depending on how much difficulty the zed has getting down. The game loudly announcing the presence of a fresh scrake somewhere on the map. Let the Scrake swing at you and parry his attack to activate the Parry Skill that alters your vision and increases your damage. I've also seen the 'goomba stomp' happen sometimes, where if a zed falls from the ceiling onto your head it'll deal some damage for every time it collides with your hitbox.

I see gorefasts and gorefiends do it a lot, but sometimes Scrakes/FPs do it as well. It usually happens when a zed is trying to get around a large object like a Bloat or a crowded doorway, causing the zed to bounce onto a Crawler's back and ride it like a surfboard.
