If you wish to make cannibals ignore you, you can apply some red paint. Red paint seems to make cannibals avoid you or fear you, which will make it easier for you to go through their villages or get past them. If you do not have any red paint, there are other tactics you can use. Cannibals cannot climb, so you can use a high vantage point like trees or structures in your building space to get on top. Next, you can use a bow and arrow to shoot at them. The modern bow is quite strong, and a single headshot can defeat a cannibal. You can also use the spear or ax to kill them when you encounter them.
You can also use fire to burn them to a crisp. Tossing Molotov cocktails or just set them on fire can easily bring them down. You can also block their attacks by pressing or holding down on the right mouse button. Holding the block stance or running through a fire while holding down the block button will not deal you any damage, but will ultimately damage the cannibal if they are alight. And last, just running away will also work if you don’t have any weapons.
