Stunning Barrier Champions

[RyuKazé]

So this is the last obstacle before I move from (rank?) 6 to 7. I saw that I need 7 stuns of which I somehow already had 2.

I have tried getting volatile rounds from picking up orbs, tried hitting them when radiant, tried using a strand weapon to get unraveling rounds but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

What's the trick to this?

Use an anti barrier weapon, the artifact has a perk for sidearms, I use Wishender.

A good time as any to learn how to use a bow LOL In my previous attempts I never seen to hit anything. I'll get it today.

I've been using Arbalest on them in Gambit all of yesterday, no luck, or is there another location I should be trying?

There are no Barrier Champions in Gambit, are you just hitting regular arc/void/solar shielded combatants?

Barrier Champions are something completely different. They will be called something like 'Barrier Servitor', 'Barrier Colossus', etc; after taking some damage, they generate a shield around themselves, while they regenerate their health. Hitting this with anti-barrier weaponry (or effects) breaks the shield, stops the regen and stuns the champion, the shield is unbreakable otherwise.

You want to to look for them in Legend/Master Lost Sectors, in Nightfalls - any activity that includes Champions will say so in their modifiers.

Keep an eye on the rotating daily legendary lost sector, which should have two types of champions.

Dares of Eternity will have barrier champs for wave 1 cabal, wave 2 cabal, and wave 3 hive iirc.

Arbalest will work, but as EckyThump said, you're looking in the wrong place for them.

Ah thanks guys, apologies, lost in translation there as I was understanding Blockers and Barrier Champions as the same thing I must have accidentally gotten those 2 in DoE. Completely wrong place. Thanks again

My Solar Titan build for Lost sectors, I throw a hammer to trigger Radiant before they use their shield, rifle them until they shield and switch to my trace/machine gun to break the shield (as auto rifle already stuns Overload champions, it can't break a Barrier champion for some god forsaken reason).

Works like a charm.

Legend Lost Sectors is the best place to stun champions btw.
