Taking down an Elite? | Forums

[Fwoopie]

Ok so I stupidly started the Grand Washington hotel on hard mode. Came across a elite tank and no matter how many bullets i put in him his health didn't go down at all. Am I missing something - how do I kill the dude??? Please help !

Thanks

Lol, literally mag dump him until his armor breaks.....you will start to hear a clinky broken glass sound when the armor is getting near to broke.

Hard mode armored bosses really do take way to many bullets. You end up wondering if all the bullets in your inventory will be enough. I even played it on normal and couple of tank guys took at least 150-200 rounds. Even set up my turret on a ledge, then started pelting him with my 404 dmg blue M60....didnt feel completely over the top, but hard mode armored tanks? Yeah they do...

With the right strategy you can take out a enemy and only have to deal with one piece of his armor overall.

Ah kk, so it wasn't just me then, they really are just bullet sponges XD, Thanks

Are your weapons at the proper level? How much DPS are you dishing out?

its not about DPS overall, more important is location of your shot. Hit an enemy in the right place on any difficulty he be licking carpet pretty fast

Admittedly probably not no idea of my DPS I was level 3, probably too early for the hard mode mission huh?

Ok, but how do you know where the right place is though?

You can focus fire on any spot, if you don't focus, your spreading the damage out otherwise. I've found the arm and leg armor seems to be the weakest.
