This exactly. Not one single enemy can one shot you. But it's always a combination of damage sources that causes the death of Agents.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post

There are many faults and problems with the game but difficulty scaling isn't really one of them.
If you are dying at Heroic, play Challenging until you master it, then step back up to Heroic. When danger strikes, look and listen for the cues. Most enemies give an advance warning as to their intentions. Check six, and check for flankers. Use cover and move back if you have to, deal with flankers and then advance again. Keep mobile. If you are dying to grenade spam, fall back until you have picked them off and then move back up, keeping to cover whenever possible.
Glass Cannon? Forget it. You can get plenty of DPS or skill damage in your build without it., there are far better alternatives.
I'm not the best player in the game by a very long shot, but there isn't a mission or CP that I haven't beaten solo at Heroic. If I can do it, you can. Just don't go full Rambo, use different builds for different situations and always have a fall-back plan for when you are liable to be overwhelmed.
I use the drone and turret its like having 3 guns and a few fire grenades no problem at all on heroic - the turret does 125,000 k damage a shot and the drone does 88,000 they don't have a chance if I die its because a sneaky suicide bomber got me. The turret and drone won't pick them up they sail right through so you have to watch for them.
The Outcast Rushers are the only redbar enemies that can one shot my primary build (a skill build) and that's only if I stay in the fire generated by their explosion. Their blast leaves me with a sliver of health and it's the fire that finishes me off. I just make sure to target them first hoping to set their chest pack off.Originally Posted by BT3241 Go to original post
Its the same on my build with suicide bombers - i was doing a mission today and 2 hit me at once I had no chance - they go after certain players sometime - they honed in on me and pasted the other players - at DCD today I saw the 3 armored yellows hone in on one guy - poor guy had no chance at all - I had to laugh.
Bombers leave a fire pool only when they are elite.Originally Posted by Zathras23 Go to original post
So, technically, you can die only if you have Perfect Glass Cannon and 0 SHD level.
