GUIDE TO RAID PHASES 1 AND 2 (will update to 3 when i get there)

[Bec Son]

EN06 PHASE
AVOIDING DAMAGE - it is highly suggested to spread out around the map, use pillars as defense and when it looks at you TAKE COVER
TANKING DAMAGE - YOU MUST WEAR POWER ARMOR OF HIGH DEFENSE, you cannot and will not survive in any regular armor, the damage output of EN06 is too high
DOING DAMAGE - anything PLASMA is highly suggested, EN06 has lower ballistic and energy resistances, it needs to be longer ranged **HIS BACK IS HIS WEAKSPOT**
***WHEN SHIELDS GO DOWN THE ROOM WILL BECOME UNLIVABLE*** - after a minute with the shield down the room will become a furnace and you **MUST** run to one of three doors that will open, RUN TO IT AND ENTER THE ROOM, you can damage EN06 before the door closes
EN06 PHASES
After 25% hp you will see En06 has different attacks
PLASMA BUBBLES - these are set explosive attacks that shoot out in the gaps between the pillars and explode after reaching towards back walls
ASSAULTRON LASERS - mini assaultron lasers will appear with miniturrets on EN06's bunker, they will target randomly and are bright so be wary of EN06 so it doesnt turn towards you without you behind a pillar
FLOOR - the floor around en06 will become occasionally electrified, be wary if trying to run past him during venting

DRILL PHASE
CANS - Cans are red, spawn in the same locations, and will not respawn so scouring the map for them is required, ***CAN ONLY CARRY ONE AT A TIME***
AVOIDING STALKERS - STALKERS ONE SHOT, THEY ARE FAST, you cannot tank damage, it is highly suggested to take berry mentants to see them through walls, warning normal mole men can and will enter the stalkers zones and clog things
DEFENDING DRILL - MOLE MINE RATS ARE THE DAMAGERS **TAKE THEM OUT FIRST** regular mole men are the clogs, who draw your attention and fire away from the mine rats
IF DEFENDING - if you are defending, use aoe weapons or dot weapons to kill the mobs, *MOLEMEN CONCENTRATION ATTACKS INCREASE AFTER INCREASING FUEL COUNT*



if you have ANY TIPS please comment them for use, seriously people need to realize its not daily ops but actually A REAL RAID

Disagree

Phase 1

Any power armour + Troubleshooters + richochet + bullet shield with stimpacks = immunity + you shred his shield

Troubleshooters is a 1* mod any noob can obtain 5 of them with ease
Richochet and bullet shield are easy to obtain perks
Power armour is plentiful in all types and sizes
Stimpacks rain like sludge from the sky


The meta can kill him in 40 (extremely uncommon... lots of lucky richochet kill time) - 55 (average) - 120 (low end) seconds on the timer (requires you to be away from him shooting his backshield then jump up and melee him... contains a risk of failure that IMO is greater than the reward for shaving 5-15 seconds off your kill time)... My best kill time was 32 but he got up and out stupid quickly... my worst was 140 and he spent the first 50 seconds not popping out of his hole... it also heavily matters if you are on a good or bad server... health rubberband can be a 3-10 second difference


Phase 2

I like having everyone run for 4 cans each, the first guy to finish his 4th can guards it then the rest just keep running


Phase 3

Autoaxe baby... they are a 20 second rush mob for me... but the best overall strategy is 3 players guard a shield generator each and 4th guy takes out one of them while the other 3 help when they can


Phase 4

Solo baby... teammates spread out things and make it take longer, poison resist is the name of the game... one guy has an easier time taking the mole... so having your teammates die off intentionally isn't a bad call

Alternatively

One teammate always stays in line of sight of the mole and everyone else breaks it... that aggros him onto that player... that player then ensures the mole takes damage on most crystals afterwards you use the big 2-3 left on the rest of the mobs


Phase 5

This is mostly a DPS check with some minor skill checks thrown in
Poison resist nullifies most of his attacks - I run nearly 700, you can get to 1000ish but I don't think you need more than 400-500... I can tank anything he throws while never stopping to shoot

When he screams you jump and jetpack
When his tail emerges you drop everything to focus it down


My first run I did as unyielding bloodied with just funky duds and I was able to tank and take out the snake
My next run I went full union poisoners funky duds as a remember me move

Phase 2: Agro but don't kill. High AOE, low damage and no ricochet.

Game can only spawn so many mobs. Keep them alive and no more will spawn. Having them target you via damage means they don't target the drill.

Mole rats are difficult as they are weak and killed easily.

One thing I've been meaning to try is hallucigen grenades or phantom device, let them fight each other.

so these RAIDs are useless with malee set

Absolutely not

Stage 1 = Melee is king, pounders autoaxe can kill him in a minute to a minute twenty on the in game counter very reliably

Stage 2 = Melee is high tier, again the same autoaxe cleans mobs at the drill and can stun the mole (as can any melee heavy hit) while getting fuel... IMO flamers are the best here as they hit multimobs letting the very weak bomb moles get hit and die

Stage 3 = Melee is king, pounders deletes the squad... best time was under 20s

Stage 4 = Ranged is best, melee leaves you open to getting punched and killed and you are only able to damage crystals anyway

Stage 5 = Range is king, melee can be done but is risky and dps vats can break 8k a shot to the snakes eyes (50% of the time, the rest are around 1000)

So averages 4500 a shot vs the snake which burns him off pretty fast

Autoaxe CAN kill him much much faster with pounders but again its a stupid risk and you aren't hitting his weak points very often... easier and far more consistent to vats him

I've tried the first bot several times, all I get is one shotted. Might work if you had 4 players who use voice to coordinate popping out from behind pillars . Of course most players don't have VC on and hardly anyone joins a public RAID party to start with.

1. are you wearing power armor
2. do you have more than 5 endurance
3. what type of power armor are you using
4. do you have the full hp bar and no rads?

What level are you? Most players do not yet have the mods you mention because they have to get through the RAID to get them.

[Phantom]

I'm over 2000

I mean its not hard to do with 3* gear that isn't hard to obtain... literally 2* set is plenty

Its doable to kill him solo and pretty quick without pounders

auto axe aa power str - energy mod
full str build and food buffs
troubleshooters str any power armour
full endurance, richochet and bullet shield
A heavy weapon to proc bullet shield until his shield goes down
A handful of stimpacks

3* and 4* mods are just icing on the cake

Throw in a team for some team buffs on your carnivore and its easier too

Use lifegiver
Use Richochet
Use Bullet shield
Use Dodgy if you are still struggling
Use x5 troubleshooters on that armour
Use a stimpack every 20 seconds - 40 seconds
If you are still struggling SOMEHOW use electric absorption

no reason you can't face tank him

The robot doesn't shoot bullets, it just does something and then I die. Kind of look like rockets.

Troubleshooters isn't that easy to get for some of us. I managed to get one on Vulcan, which I don't use yet because its not modded. Zero on Union and T65.
Have everything else you mentioned.
As far as getting a good team. Yeah, right. While players will latch onto level a 1000+ player to carry them in he RAID it's hard to get a good team otherwise.

Spend literally 10 minutes vendor hopping to places with 10+ mods you'll find some soon enough

Vendor hop all the time. No Troubleshooters for sale anywhere.
