Autocannon also will 3-shot it in the visor.
Is there anything the good ol autocannon can't do?
It won’t hug you when you’re sad. That’s why you have a cape.
The only embrace I need is Liberty (I named my cape)
It can't deal with small fast targets well, and definitely not when they close the gap on you, you will blow your own ass up. But other than that... That's wifey right there
It can't get reasonable TTK on chargers or bile titans.
AC will chew through solid metal like butter. But if you shoot it at a carapace, bounces right off without a scratch….
It can't reload while moving.
I use the autocannon but sometimes I really can't tell where I'm supposed to be aiming aside from "at the red dot"
It's just, shoot the red light yeah?
Yes
Did they nerf it? I was doing it in 2 last week.
I could have just been shooting poorly. I was on suicide difficulty, idk if that makes a difference.
Difficulty selection only changes the amount and types of enemies you face in a mission. Health and armor stays the same for each enemy type.
Which is also my favorite part about this game; so tired of lazy difficulty scaling where higher difficulty just means health/damage is higher for enemies and lower for player.
A good hit will cause fire to spray out of the "face". A second good hit should blow the face out.
I've noticed the first hit has a flame spout out of the eye, and the 2nd hit brings it down. Any other shots in between I assume are misses because there's 3 other hulks rushing me and oh god oh god...
I managed to one-shot 3 of them last night with a quasar cannon shot right in the visor. Relatedly, I've learned laying down wildly improves the quasar cannon's accuracy.
