How the hell do I kill heavies

[Pin]

I pop the tanks on their back, I use grenades, but they're still alive.

PROTIP: To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies.

[Zango]

I find mass incendiary shotgun fire is a useful at taking down heavies.

If an enemy has a head, it's a weak spot - Doom 2016

Sweep the leg. Got a problem with that?

Popping their gas tank will indeed damage them, and knock them on their feet into a stun.
Pump a few shotgun rounds or SL8 rounds directly into their head until you break the armor and give them the 'ole Assisted Kurt Cobain treatment.

This is generally the easiest way to take out Juggernauts

Pretty much my technique

i normally pop their tank, and spam as much grenades and bullets into the CHEST not the head, because its a smaller target and i usually use them as a hostage once armor is broken

[skOsH♥]

I pop the tank, slide out from under them, and then hail a barrage of bullets into their heads

Works with most guns. Even the smg you get at the start, I am still using it

I just didn't think I was damaging them at all since you don't get focus back from shooting them, and I wasn't getting much feed back from them. after enough they will eventually stagger. I also learned that tossing mooks into them staggers them a bit even when they have armor

[Fear dot Com]

I like to throw grenade hostages at them. All else fails, remember how nimble you are compared to everyone else. I think my greatest fight was shooting a heavy, running out of ammo and as a last ditch, dropkicked him and somehow won.

[Schindler's Fist™]

The bolt thrower is exceptionally efficient at murdering them, usually only takes one burst

[superfid2006]

Decided to start with Rage Mode, and am currently stuck at the second main mission, at the part out in the open with the laser gate, multiple soldiers and two heavies. I will have to try the stuff written about in here, though I am tempted to lower the difficulty tbh.

Are there unlockables you can take with you on replays that might make getting over these hurdles on Rage easier? I figured that if I can't do it on Rage mode now, I'll likely never manage to do it...

It is not satisfying to fight them at all and they're stacked everywhere. I want a challenge, not a painfully terrible experience. Why design the game around rushing around and doing all these crazy sprinting slides and slowmo shots? I don't get what is the point of having all that when I'm only allowed to sprint for about two seconds, and I'm walled by armored guys that tank enough shots that even a toddler would agree is just silly.

Love the game, just wish it would just pick a style and stick to it. Instead I'm stuck with this weird amalgamation of several games in an inane attempt to be some kind of jack of all trades.

I hope you seriously consider something like infinite sprint and moving the bar management to something like jumps and slides. Make armored guys give separate punch feedback, increase their stagger from getting shot in certain areas, consider adding weakpoints to their armor, or at the very least reduce the amount used. Not to mention some of the checkpoint seriously need work. I want to keep playing, but honestly some of these issues make it really hard to enjoy myself at this point. It really just makes me wanna play a game that is more focused and knows what it is trying to be.

Dozers/Heavies/EODs/Juggernauts will die from:
Armour+health
14+1 Pistol shots
30+9 SMG shots
18+1 Rifle shots
3+0 Shotgun blasts
3-5 Grenades from the launcher (inconsistent)
~4-6 bolts from the bolt launcher
2+2 bolts from the penetrator bolt launcher
3+1 DMR shots
15+15 Minigun Shots

The explosive weapons are inconsistent, but every other weapon can kill them in less than one mag...

They're really not that tanky

[Hashley Hashbrowns]

Just keep shooting them when they're on fire until you see a hitmarker. Or set them on fire, break their armor, pick them up and throw them like a bomb
