You know, I can live with most of those... what really grinds my gear is, Black Tusk tech is immune to the same EMP that makes all our tech useless... Their drones, dogs, tanks just keep trucking through~Originally Posted by JHemp12 Go to original post
Well, the criticism of the Black Tusks having those drones seems valid until you realize that shooting those drones in air does damage to that drone operator. A lot of damage. Usually kills them. The closer the drone is to where t was launched, that seems to determine how much damage. I used to think you had to shoot it while it was still very close to them, but it looks like it does damage as long as you get it while the light is yellow. Once you realize this, fighting the Black Tusks becomes extremely easy.
As for the 50cal robot, it has weak points too. Pretty much every enemy has weak points. Ya'll can experiment or look it up. Don't want to spoil all the surprises.
On top of that, it takes several seconds to aim and setup the shot, and it does so while pointing a BIG RED LIGHT straight at you. It's not exactly a stealth machine, so really curious why people think this is a problem unless they're constantly out-of-cover and not paying attention.Originally Posted by tcarlisle2012 Go to original post
In probably 300 hrs of play, I've never seen one of these things shoot through cover.... meaning you on the opposite side of cover where that cover blocks line of sight of the enemy. There are cases where cover is too low and it isn't complete cover... and you are especially vulnerable to shots from higher positions.Originally Posted by Natfrog Go to original post
You sure you weren't popped up? If you are looking down the rifle barrel or scope at the enemy, you are exposed and are shootable.
Pretty much this. Not all cover is equal and elevation matters. There are edge cases (as in literally on the edge of cover) where you can get hit (and you can also hit others, works both ways!) as was shown in a MarcoStyle vid, but you'd have to really push it to get into this situation more than occasionally. In any case: if you can't hit it, it also can't hit you. If you can hit it, so can it hit you.Originally Posted by tcarlisle2012 Go to original post
And even then: if cover is iffy that's not a problem with Black Tusk or the robodog is it?
In fact, they don't kill you through covers. The thing is that they're so accurate that they can shoot you on the smallest part. I've been killed by an enemy who shot me through a 5cm gap between 2 crates. And he was at the other side of the area.
That's the main problem in the game. Enemies are basically snipers, with every weapon they have, weapons that also have no recoil apparently since they can shoot a whole mag at you and aim exactly at the same place with every bullet.
Every grenade launchers, even grenades are as accurate as the best sniper you could think of. I've seen enemies launching 2 grenades in a row exactly at the same place, which was the corner of a cover, and exactly the right spot to damage me behind cover.
