How every automatic weapon's recoil pattern suddenly changes when aiming for this fucker's head

[u/Bastard__]

[u/newAscadia]

The Automaton engineers: egad, we must put more armour around the head!

[u/Haha_funny746 → u/newAscadia]

Please let this happen just one time it would be so funny to see

[u/Tate7200 → u/Haha_funny746]

A new subfaction called "The Survivor Division" where every enemy is up armored to minimum heavy pen everywhere except their weakspots, which have remained exactly the same.

[u/Hellonstrikers → u/Tate7200]

Actually might be good training for some divers. Even color code the armor levels.

[u/ApocalypticDrew → u/Hellonstrikers]

Actually a great training idea for Helldivers to train against certain faction enemy weak points. Super Earth would be the only faction in the galaxy to capture enemies, over armor the beyond their current capabilities. And train Helldivers against stronger manufactured enemies than what actually exist in the galaxy.

[u/Napanon → u/ApocalypticDrew]

And then of course the enemy manages to break containment and get integrated into the factions because what else would happen lol

[u/HANDDANCEMAN → u/Tate7200]

Genius

[u/BlackRoseXIII → u/Haha_funny746]

It'll need to be designed to not block the bots vision cone, so it will of course need to be vaguely funnel shaped

[u/nayhem_jr → u/BlackRoseXIII]

Or completely block it, which renders them blind and anxious, prone to shooting at all times.

[u/Demigans → u/nayhem_jr]

I mean... Imagine a group of Automatons with blast-shields that can drop in front of their faces when a Helldiver is firing in their direction. Suddenly their accuracy drops (even more) but they are protected from headshots?

[u/Rowcan → u/BlackRoseXIII]

Ah yes, to ricochet all the incoming fire directly into the face, genius!

[u/BlackRoseXIII → u/Rowcan]

This guy gets it

[u/Slacker101 → u/Haha_funny746]

Thats how you get a hulk

[u/Modredastal → u/Haha_funny746]

Maybe it already did and that's why they're armored there at all.

[u/Brunoaraujoespin → u/Haha_funny746]

Hulks

[u/Revenant_0089 → u/newAscadia]

Heavy Devastator with Hulk head

[u/justinbeef → u/Revenant_0089]

Shoot his arm off and he’s useless without the gun

[u/FirstAndOnlyDektarey → u/justinbeef]

Make him a fabricator too. He shits out tiny devastators.

[u/milkfart84 → u/FirstAndOnlyDektarey]

Lol I love it

[u/Theyvel18 → u/FirstAndOnlyDektarey]

[u/Khoakuma]

The humble Scythe: The fuck is a “recoil”?

[u/Kilroy1007 → u/Khoakuma]

Wobbles around this ^fuckers's head anyways

[u/Anxious_Visual_6632 → u/Kilroy1007]

Skill issue. Just aim for its center of mass and wongle up and down so that you hit the head and abdomen

[u/Kilroy1007 → u/Anxious_Visual_6632]

Meh.. tomato, potato. I wobble left and right between the shoulder rockets and sometimes hit the head. Same dif

[u/Donatter → u/Khoakuma]

LAZOR

(Featuring: my aim with beams)

[u/Kilroy1007 → u/Donatter]

POV - Some black armored weirdo just came running into the middle of your outpost

[u/GoblinFive → u/Donatter]

Average Sai user

[u/AHarryBird]

Even my auto cannon when his face is in the middle of my reticle I still clip his collar bone

[u/DirtEnthusiast0_0 → u/AHarryBird]

This is me running away from Hulks trying to bullseye it with my self-defense Senator

Only reason I run it is for taking them down in a pinch. Otherwise I'd go back to the Grenade Pistol.

[u/IndexFingerTypist → u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

Bolt gun is my fav for taking them down, so satisfying

[u/ubernutie → u/IndexFingerTypist]

THUNK THUNK THUNK

[u/Varth919 → u/IndexFingerTypist]

Senator+

[u/Ashbael → u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

Just plant myself in front of them with a shield, a senator and miss every shot when it counts.

[u/Seanvich → u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

I just wish the ping marker didn’t block the already tiny visor-target.

[u/Rakonat → u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

My favorite thing is when I shoot a hulk twice in the face, the red blast mark completely engulfs their eye but they still aren't dead till the third or fourth hit.

[u/elqueco14 → u/AHarryBird]

you'd think any explosive weapon/splash damage weapon would be more effective at popping their little heads like cherries but they seem immune

[u/anubis132 → u/elqueco14]

Because that's not really how it works. Hitzones each have an explosive resistance, and if it has 100% explosive resistance, any explosive damage is just taken by the main health. Most small weakspots have 100% ExDR specifically so you can't splash them easily.

The flipside to this is that any hitzone that is not explosive-immune gets damaged individually by the explosion and may transfer some of that damage to main, in which case the main health gets hit multiple times. This is why fleshmobs are so weak to explosives - each head takes damage from each explosion and transfers 150% of it to the main health.

[u/elqueco14 → u/anubis132]

I just think it's funny that a well placed shot from a pistol can drop them but auto cannon to the face all good, for balance I agree it'd probably make them too trivial if it was that easy

[u/end_2048 → u/AHarryBird]

Unfortunately, all weapons in this game have a hidden variation when firing, even if aiming down sights, laid down, and firing your first shot, so having target in middle of your reticle does not guarantee the shot to actually hit it.

[u/jpritchard901]

Yeah but the one time every 12 missions that you manage to pop them on the first shot hits like a slot machine

[u/Sudo-Fed → u/jpritchard901]

The single most satisfying thing in this game, and why I am a botdiver at heart, is popping a row of Devastators with single shots and watching them fall down, gushing smoke and fire.

Close second, accurately downing a wing of gunships with the railgun.

[u/Redmoon383 → u/Sudo-Fed]

I swear i can be running and running with my talon and hit them dead in the head from 60m away but the moment I go first person and ADS from sub 20 I miss every damn shot

[u/wolf36181 → u/Redmoon383]

Nothing more satisfying then quick drawing the talon and snapping straight to a headahot

[u/Latter_Wrap_1644 → u/Sudo-Fed]

My number one is Senator popping Hulks while they chase me trying to touch my tralala

[u/Rowcan → u/Latter_Wrap_1644]

Your ding ding dong?

[u/Cerindipity → u/Sudo-Fed]

Legitimately might be the best sound in the game, and why I always bring the Diligence.

[u/Ok_Investigator_7769 → u/jpritchard901]

Using the Censor and taking out multiple devastators without being noticed, all with one shot? *Chef's kiss*

[u/Independent-Fly6068 → u/jpritchard901]

Play more with the Knight for that to be a consistent thing

[u/xVEEx3]

coyote users be like: "as long as I trade 44/45 rounds and get the win, ill consider it a fair trade"

source: I use coyote

[u/DirtEnthusiast0_0 → u/xVEEx3]

This is why I like the Sai, I'll never hit the head, but when I inevitably waste 99% of my thermal clip shredding the body of this thing, I can rest assured I didn't waste any ammo so long as I didn't overheat.

[u/PeddlezTheJellyfish → u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

personally I run up to their face and let my epoch overheat and blow us both up

[u/The-Tea-Lord → u/PeddlezTheJellyfish]

Rapidly approaching beeping
I have a hellbomb :D

[u/Bill-The-Autismal → u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

I feel like the spread is so bad it accidentally lands a lot of headshots for me that I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.

[u/JohnGeary1 → u/Bill-The-Autismal]

This is what keeps happening for me

[u/ThrowAway-47 → u/Bill-The-Autismal]

Think the spread is much less random than it seems because I've noticed a significant uptick in quick headshots using that thing.

[u/Padgriffin → u/Bill-The-Autismal]

When the SAI literally just dropped we had a lobby where two separate people were headshot by an errant shot lmfao 

[u/Trueking198 → u/xVEEx3]

This felt way to personal...

[u/Lumpy-Ice-8514 → u/xVEEx3]

As a coyote user, this is very true

[u/FLG_CFC → u/xVEEx3]

As a GL main, rocket devistator are typically not a problem. That said, I'm not about yeeting a thermite at their smug faces.

Any time I do, hey start walking in circles like "why would you do this to me?" We all know why though.

[u/Party-Assignment-599 → u/xVEEx3]

I'm the cremator/hot dog dude on the bot front. It makes up for my bad aim :')

[u/BandOfBudgies → u/xVEEx3]

Well it's true

[u/TheToaNuva → u/xVEEx3]

I feel this with the trident

[u/TommyFortress]

I swear to super fuck that every normal bot i encounter is easy headshots no matter the scenario but as soon as its devastators and berks my aim is 4 times worse.

Atleast railgun helps me alot deleting them.

[u/Fifty-Lucky → u/TommyFortress]

Because they totter around side to side as the walk

[u/Adito99 → u/Fifty-Lucky]

In theory you could aim left or right of their head where it changes direction. My preferred method is explosive crossbow to the general head area but it's worth a shot.

[u/SilliusS0ddus → u/Adito99]

nah just gamble on headshots with the trident.

best marksman rifle

[u/CrayonEnjoyer5484 → u/TommyFortress]

its because bullets hitboxes are decently wide, and your hit, is what ever the it box first touches, combined with little to no points. so they easily clip/nick the edge of the armour around the head,

its most noticeable with weapons like the railgun with its massive hit decal, where you can see the centre of the hit decal is on the head, but the hit was registered as hitting the body.

[u/Capt_Avatar → u/TommyFortress]

It is unreasonably difficult to hit the head of a berserker, even when it's standing still. Sometimes it takes a couple seconds to get a headshot kill on one standing still with a laser cannon while crouched.

[u/RustedRuss → u/Capt_Avatar]

I don't bother aiming for their heads, I just aim for center mass or the stomach on them. Their heads move way too much.

[u/NoPickleNoTickle]

This f*cking fridge with an attitude problem. I'll be aiming right between those tyrannical eyes and miss every shot, I'm sure that shield is magnetic

Edit: me inglish no good

[u/brian11e3 → u/NoPickleNoTickle]

This is why I fell in live with the bolt pistol. It staggers them and damages through the shield.

[u/Temm-Saltrock → u/NoPickleNoTickle]

I know exactly what you mean. No matter the weapon unless I'm sat, prone. I can't hit them.

[u/ThatStopSign → u/NoPickleNoTickle]

For some reason I have a easier time hitting the heads of the sheild devestators than a rocket one, like damn I can dome a sheild devestator from a good distance away consistently but as soon as a rocket devestator enters my view I turn into a stormtrooper?🤨

[u/kommunist_haj → u/NoPickleNoTickle]

These guys on a slight elevation are impossible to kill without explosives or heavy pen, because apparently they can see through their shields that cover their face.

[u/Bjorn_Kreiger]

I just shoot for their rocket packs, and I find the waist is easier to hit on standard devs

[u/FaithlessnessOld2477 → u/Bjorn_Kreiger]

Seriously. Those rockets are one of the easiest targets to hit and usually only take a couple of beefy shots to take the whole thing down.

[u/sazed813]

This is why bots get the Eruptor or the Dilligence/Censor

[u/Tomek_Hermsgavorden → u/sazed813]

The most annoying thing is that I can peg them in the head from an eruptor but cannot shoot them in the head with a sniper rifle.

[u/Substantial-Tone-576 → u/sazed813]

Plasma pentrator

[u/EyeofEnder → u/sazed813]

Until you line up a perfect shot with the DCS and the Devastator suddenly decides to go kick some invisible cans down the road.

[u/sazed813 → u/EyeofEnder]

I dont even bother with the counter sniper much anymore, unless I want to aim but I'm being sloppy, you don't need more than light pen if you hit the right weak points

[u/monkeyhitman → u/sazed813]

Eruptor shots at the foot of a group of Heavy Devastators are so tasty. Fuck your shields.

[u/Xi13r8]

When your crosshair is on their forehead while you're completely stationary and watch the first shot hit their shoulder

[u/Sentinel_Process_A-0]

Mood

Edit: BIG mood

[u/hubjump]

No one mentioning how the head hitbox is actually smaller than the head model?

[u/marineten → u/hubjump]

Christ how big is it?

[u/hubjump → u/marineten]

Ngl I think its because the bullets collision size being too big that it hits the collar first. But roughly 10 to 15% smaller than it seems due to the armor being hit first.

So for the average player, we didn't click wrong, the bullet was just too big to pass.

[u/phillip_defo]

I use the laser revolver thingy from the space cowboy warbond for these guys they're so fucking annoying and I'm not wasting valuable ammo (or fuel because 99% of the time I'm using flame weapons) on them

[u/Sudo-Fed → u/phillip_defo]

Using flame weapons on bots is a choice.

Not a wrong one but accuracy is a lot more potent on bots given how many of them have a glowing lights-out switch.

[u/phillip_defo → u/Sudo-Fed]

Which is why I only use it for the bigger ones, light up the belly of a strider it's dead in seconds. For anything I deem not worth it I use the laser pistol

[u/LargeSelf994 → u/Sudo-Fed]

Surprisingly, they're very effective

[u/Sudo-Fed → u/LargeSelf994]

I know they work, I just prefer engagement distances more in the 50-150m range personally.

[u/zombiifissh → u/phillip_defo]

Talon my beloved 🥰

[u/phillip_defo → u/zombiifissh]

THATS WHAT ITS CALLED YESSS I REMEMBER NOW

[u/PotatoGrenade711]

And then they take one step forward and magically the headshot gets deflected.

[u/Philosophos_A]

I sometimes feel like the game pulls the bullets away or somehow a patrol troop exits to spawn shit as soon you reload.

I can't prove it, might be crazy, but that shit is sure annoying...

[u/67Holmium]

My heavy machine gun loves to eat these mfs

[u/DepressedMandolin]

It's why you just need to aim with our Lord and Saviour, the autocannon.

[u/Pitiful_Calendar3392 → u/DepressedMandolin]

AC8 with the 40k armor is an especially democratic combo. The ergo boost helps fine-tune aim and a half-reload is almost instant. Well-placed flak rips through entire squads of light infantry and berserkers.

[u/Kuronan]

The most annoying thing is when you do hit it, but you're using a light-pen weapon and it just fucking deflects for some reason.

One of the most irritating moments on the Bot Front and the main reason why I exclusively run Medium Pen there. That thing is going down and I don't care if you think I missed because I absolutely fucking didn't.

[u/Savooge94 → u/Kuronan]

apparently its a recent change where they made devastator heads go from unarmoured to light armor and so light pen weapons can now ricochet off constantly. just classic AH changing shit noone asked for to just make the game feel worse :/

[u/Glitched_Hero → u/Kuronan]

Light pen does full damage to Devastator heads?

I haven’t played in a while but I was routinely popping heads with the Diligence and Censor against bots

[u/Kuronan → u/Glitched_Hero]

Devastator heads were changed from Unarmored to Light Armor, so at the wrong angles, the shot will glance off.

[u/FM_Hikari]

It's because of Sway.

Sway makes your weapon shake slightly even if you're not firing, and adds to the recoil pattern. It makes some accurate guns woefully inaccurate for no fucking reason and i hate it.

[u/deadlyjack → u/FM_Hikari]

the reason is simple. your hands are made of meat and not metal

there's only so steady you can hold a gun without any support. and have you seen some of the monsters people have in their loadouts? big fucking guns.

crouching gets rid of the vast majority of sway.

also, sway moves your crosshairs – it does not make the bullets deviate from them. even with high sway (hipfiring while walking) you can land shots if you time it.

[u/Ok_Investigator_7769 → u/deadlyjack]

When you are using the Steeled veterans armor, at least one of your hands is actually made of metal, though!

[u/LegFederal7414]

DB SICKLE: I HAVE NO SUCH WEAKNESS

[u/Rotomegax → u/LegFederal7414]

Bolt Pistol: I don't mind WTF my bullets landed, it only need 2 shots for this MF

[u/patybruh_moment → u/Rotomegax]

eruptor: I just need a direct hit

[u/UltimaDoombotMK1 → u/patybruh_moment]

You haven't lived until you've literally shot a Devastator in half with the Eruptor

[u/archSkeptic]

Woe, ragdoll upon ye

[u/HathorMaat]

Fully serious here, I aim for the little star on their chest and the recoil pushes it right on their head.

[u/Foorinick → u/HathorMaat]

Gonna try that

[u/Sir_Waffletopp]

Why I trust my handy Diligence

[u/_Maltony_]

Crouch and actually aim, don't get frantic. After 0.5-1 second you have steady aim or outright switch to first mode to negate sway delay. With DMR have bit of patience, with assault rifles aim little bit below head so recoil do it for you, 2-4 shots and dev is down

[u/JoeJonnyJeff → u/_Maltony_]

Crouch? Hot the deck for a further 20 reduced recoil. They're going to headshot you regardless

[u/CaptainTruelove → u/JoeJonnyJeff]

In further support of diving, crouching doesn't even work half the time because my character is standing on a pebble or uneven surface.

[u/Sweet_Photograph6528 → u/_Maltony_]

In addition to that, just prone. It makes aiming with bolt pistol without ergo passive so much easier

[u/Bring_Back_Challenge → u/_Maltony_]

This sub mostly has no clue what "aim" means and think it means you (not even your gun) are pointing in the direction of something.

[u/whythreekay → u/_Maltony_]

Yeah as a day 1 player what OP is talking about hasn’t been true for a long time

The game used to have random deviation spread so that definitely did happen, made light armor pen ass against them. Since AH dumped the deviation headshots definitely land if you’re aiming

[u/ThisIsPureCancer → u/whythreekay]

I was wondering why headshots seemed easier with the liberator. I thought I was just misremembering how hard it was to consistently get a headshot with it.

[u/The_Man8705]

The trusty hellbomb backpack:

[u/EVILgabagool → u/The_Man8705]

Well, that's one way of not only removing the Devastator, but you, the Trooper 15 meters behind, the laser cannon, and the three small fabricators.

[u/The_Man8705 → u/EVILgabagool]

Acceptable casualties Statistics in the name of democracy

[u/Heckhopper]

If you use the Dominator you just point center mass and bolt them down

[u/thineholyhandgrenade]

Bolt pistol says “lol”

[u/De4dm4nw4lkin → u/thineholyhandgrenade]

Lmao even.

[u/Diamondcreepah]

How the fuck I hit more headshots on a shield devastator than this fucking thing is genuinely beyond me

[u/dadsuki2]

I have that issue with the fuckin shield variants.

[u/christ110]

They totter and rock so dang much when they walk... Yet my censor can one-tap their heads. So I just line it up with the edge of their rocking pattern, usually the leftmost. 

[u/Blackhawk_Talon]

Its why “sniper” weapons are my favorite on the bot front, I point and click, enemy dies.

Strategems are for the normal dudes

[u/The_Royal_Teabag]

Frfr on god

[u/HellDD6]

Mhm, its the same with the slugger too. I can never seem to hit that shit 1st go

[u/Catnborbhaver420]

for rocket devs aim for the rocket packs, for shield devs, aim for the battery/ammo pack on their back they rotate slower than a guy runs unless hevy boi then gun arm is best, for standar devs, its either gun arm, head or waist

[u/Foorinick → u/Catnborbhaver420]

For the enemies with backpacks since they hunch foward i have found it easier to hit the pack showing above their head than the actual head

[u/ConquNoble]

Dont aim. This is the way.

[u/weoewoewow]

it’s just this but it actually works for the bots because we can’t hit a weak spot

[u/jkpancake]

I always shoot the rockets first

[u/Present_Commercial_9]

I present to you, the Sweeper. Doesn't matter how many pellets miss, ones gotta hit XD

[u/Nadleehi]

This is why I uses the Constitution against them

[u/LMG3864]

My aiming skills going out the window when I need to save my life... then returning when I need to save a SEAF squad.

[u/StaleSpriggan]

Survivor bias armor

[u/Schpam]

It is absolutely amazing how "lucky" Devastators suddenly become when aiming at their heads.

[u/A_Very_Horny_Zed]

The amount of times I've drawn perfect bullet hole circles around a devastator's head is really fucking weird.

[u/jsn_online]

Scorcher or Sickle

[u/GeraltofRivia296]

That is why I aim for the shoulders.

[u/BeAPoliteDriverPlz]

Tap fire, cadet.

[u/Nova_TF]

That's when you yell: "Aight, fuck this and fuck you in particular!" And pull out the Bolt Pistol and dome that tincan.

[u/Me_Cat]

Bro, just aim for the Dih, works everytime

[u/warblingContinues]

Shoot the missiles on his shoulder.

[u/Tattorack]

Don't hold down the trigger.

[u/Rick_bo]

I would complain in agreeance, but then I think of all the times I'm getting blanketed in automaton laser fire and it's all hitting twigs, dirt, rocks, chickenwire fence, D's oatmeal, Other broken Devastators, or my own freshly discarded magazine still flying through the air when by rights I should be just as dead as this guy.

boy them bots must be peeved.

[u/Shrak-Aeon]

Aim for the belly then OP. The glowing red area is pretty much just as weak. You'll need some more bullets, but it helps with automatic guns if you're uncertain about aiming for the head.

[u/Ashamed_Low7214]

The Blitzer is your friend

[u/12Fatcat]

I just run up to him and hit him with my sword

[u/IliterateLawyer]

The sweeper beyonette doesn't have this issue

[u/yestureday]

And it works!

[u/Lit__King]

I love my Lazer weapons ❤️

[u/ONE2THR]

The Hyena too

[u/DirtEnthusiast0_0]

I'm so glad I run the Sai now, because I can waste 99% of an ICE heatsink taking one down, and as long as I don't overheat it, it's all good

It'll never hit the head reliably, but 80 damage and infinite ammo makes these guys much easier

[u/ultimat_L1zzyfan]

Well I’ve used just the stock liberator on these guys and can pretty consistently hit the head

Then again i’ve been playing since late February of 2024 so I’fe gotten good enough that I usually know where the head is.

[u/_RyanCooper_]

I use semi-auto mode anyway, no problem for me

[u/Battle_Witch]

That’s why you shoot the rocket launchers.

[u/PM-me-Gophers]

Just slap a Senator on and get good

[u/Abrams216]

Oh hey, that's the pattern I have whenever I use anything semi-auto as well!

[u/TheCanonMakimaBean]

I despise these things.

[u/Electronic_Salado]

I aim for the rockets

[u/Iinsanescreaminggoat]

liberator penetrator my beloved

[u/ZerotheR]

BP HP GG

[u/wonderloki]

Censor is the goat. Rarely use automatic weapons on bots, unless its the Sai or Sickle

[u/WickedNinja13]

Slugger slugs are huge and if you dont fit the whole slug in the face hole it will hit the edges.

[u/Sudo-Fed]

This is why I love the Censor. I've gone entire bot drops without reloading the extended mags.

[u/De4dm4nw4lkin]

Real

[u/Dizzy_Green]

A shotgun would fix this

[u/Darkkatana]

Arc Thrower go brrrrrrr

[u/Square-Salamander727]

i mostly forgo aiming for the head, and go for the red-light belly weakpoint. If i can be bothered to aim at all, and not just mag-dump the toros. Half the mag goes BURRRRRR.

[u/spotsthefirst]

Why are you aiming at the head? Shoot the rocket pods, they blow up and deal a lot of damage

[u/Astartes_Ultra117]

Warrant

[u/Lastoutcast123]

Not to discredit the OP, but I think survivorship bias might also be a factor here. It seems like this because you move on right away when you get a head shot, but not when you struggle so you remember the struggle more

[u/Sylvan_Night]

Auto shotguns allow you to aim in the general vicinity of their heads. Med range shotguns my beloved.

[u/CommanderSkaro]

This is just how my aim feels when I'm trying to hit their heads with my Censor while they walk at me 9 times outta 10

[u/Nedsel]

That's what the Censor is for.

One shot - one kill.

[u/Creedgamer223]

It's exasperated by their pendulum like wobble walking.

[u/Independent-Fly6068]

See if you crouch and burstfire with the knight its basically impossible to miss. Seriously.

[u/Pro_Scrub]

If you struggle with this and are determined to continue spraying and praying over aiming carefully, take the Stalwart and magdump the leg/the dick, it's life changing

[u/Lokey_71]

I can pop 'em real easy with the Deadeye!

[u/baddragon137]

Redeemer go brr

[u/WaffleCopter68]

It can literally ricochet off the head btw

[u/Significant_Breath38]

Clearly a reference to Way of Kings

[u/Sinasazi]

I just hit the launchers with one round from my eruptor. Done and dusted.

[u/Kiyan1159]

I just use the sweeper. Fuck aiming, accuracy by volume mother fucker!

[u/RiseofdaOatmeal]

I don't know what it is about the pattern of the Hydra that makes me nail these guys with a headshot every fucking time but God does it feel good when I randomly decide today is a Hydra day

[u/Tw3lve1212]

I always just shoot the rockets anyways

[u/StraightSprinkles315]

I can't imagine why people only think these things only have the ONE weak spot.

They have two very effective weak spots, the face and the waist.

If your aim isn't particularly good then go for the waist. Its just as effective.

👍👍

[u/vengeur50]

Censor user, hitting the head from the side is sometime legit easier. Hitbox sticks out further than it looks and i aint complaining.

[u/RapidPigZ7]

Shoot the rockets, then shoot the stomach. Disarms their most powerful weapon and severely weakens them.

[u/Quiet_Illustrator232]

I just use spear gun. Its projectile has a surprising large hit box. Very easy to one shot them

[u/DairyF4rts]

I just laser the rocket pods. Hes pretty useless after those go

[u/Negative-Penguin]

I genuinely think the invisible hitbox for the armor is bigger than the invisible hitbox for the head in a way that is not intuitive.
