bloat king needs to drop more ammo

[Fiesbert]

That boss is just poorl designed. It showcases how hard ladders suck in this game and the need for ammo in this fight mismatches the ammount a player can generate

As far as I remember... midfight the whole place was full of ammo pickups.

But maybe it has something to do with me, playing Hunter/ leveling Summoner.
No ring/amulett was related to ammo gain, but weapon mutators did something though

Wasn't a fan of this fight either.
As my first dungeon boss required for progression, it was such a tedious encounter. Falling off the ledges is frustrating enough without the ridiculously slow climbing animation making it so you're forced to just wait around until you have an opening.
So stupid to have all ladders facing the centre.

Got it again at 21 when I started AM and it's even more tedious, especially when it spawns with Hearty (I imagine Regenator is even worse). Its just a bullet sponge. Not the best fight for ammo collection, but not the worst either.

Ah yeah... it's so easy to forget that you have to face most bosses very early on, if you are unlucky.
Imagine to play challenger level 2 in Yaesha with 90% flying bastards

There are dozens and dozens of blobs in the pit.
Killing them grants a lot of ammo.

The issue is coming back up...

i thought the fight was fair, i always had plenty of ammo drops on either side of the arena.

The three worlds have a pool of bosses that can be rolled as mid-world boss or optional side-boss. The Bloat King is one of these for Losomn.

Exactly this. Before I had any equipment/upgrades or exp, with 3 relic uses, I got thrown up against this rather tedious bullet sponge of a boss that has tons of opportunities for chip damage when you're very new to the game.

It wasn't a much better experience fighting it at PL21 either. But then I also got the Hive boss when I hit N'erud in W2, and got it again in AM. That was also a fairly tedious boss.

You know there are ammo boxes available to take anywhere right?

interesting. I thought he was always optional, in all my rr's he has been.

I've played through the entire game and never needed to use an ammo box even once (and only ran out of ammo a handful of times), it very much felt like a non-concern... having an area of effect / piercing weapon helps a LOT, since hitting more than one enemy with each shot effectively reduces how much ammo you need to spend.

(the Gunslinger prime perk gives you an instant reload + a few seconds of infinite ammo when you use an active-use gunslinger skill, and the starting skill gives you 6 guaranteed-hit shots that doesn't consume ammo... immensely useful, and all you need to unlock the Gunslinger if you didn't preorder is to listen to all of Mudtooth's stories; after unlocking it it's been very hard to go back to any other archetype because removing the reload delay entirely is just such an IMMENSE advantage in boss fights)



But yeah, ladders are consistently sluggish and unfun to deal with, I've got nothing to add there.

the things at the bottom generate ammo, the orbs floating around generate ammo, you can invest in ammo boxes. I fought him on apocalypse and imo he was by far the easiest boss. i had full ammo going in and full going out.

Just have your summons and dog kill all the mobs while you shoot the boss. EZ Clap.

I used Tremor weapon mod to create temporary safe zone below. It killed plenty blobs, but most of ammo drop at upper side.
