    Achilles Pulse - Things it doesn't work well on

    Alrighty. Achilles pulse feels pretty damn nice for Headhunters on Black Tusk missions but there are some caveats.

    I've been throwing it at any random thing that will accept the skill and there are, currently, two problem targets:

    EMP Jammer Towers - They accept the pulse but do not display a weak point to shoot. Even the skill readout just displays a small green square instead what weak point it highlighted.

    Minigun Dogs - The body weak point is small and located only at the front of the bot UNLESS its armor is broken. This makes it VERY hard to hit with the way this bot runs around. When the body is highlighted as a weak point after armor break it covers a proper large area encompassing the body on all sides.

    Has anyone else run into any problem targets? I'm sure the devs would appreciate any info we can dredge up.

    Here's a vid of Achilles Pulse vs a EMP Jammer Tower.

    Servers on summit objectives don't appear to have a weakpoint either.

    Either way, I think the weakpoints need to be more visually distinct from the pulse. I'm not sure if the grenade hound doesn't have weakpoints either because they are difficult to see.

    Yes they are visible it shows a rectangle shape on the side of there body, also the small red rectangle on the rear end which lots know to shoot, also if you're running all red or a mix of red and blue you will only get 1 weak point show, for it to work fully you need all yellow for a max of 3 marked areas when a skill player uses it in team play for there teammates

    That's fine not a problem it's a bonus damage area pulse, the banshee doesn't work either .
    I think a lot of people know the mask is for the standard pulse

    dont you think that this pulse with negotiators dilema its too much? using this seems like cheat, no? image legendary with several pulses and negotiator dilema. NPS will just fall easyly. I dont think its normal.

    No offense....but that's actually GOOD.

    It gives MMRs that specialize in Headshot damage something to be good at in higher end content.
