is it possible to kill heavies with light rounds without raising alerts?

[DarkenDragon]

so I'm on the second mission where you use the light sniper for the first time. it has a challenge to kill everyone with only regular ammo and with the sniper. but I'm finding heavy enemies. I know the light rounds dont go through their armor so how do I kill them? or is that challenge expecting you to come back to do it with a stronger sniper that can use heavy rounds?

I was able to kill him by shooting him in the face and he reels back and exposes his neck and shoot him there, but the time it took for me to shoot 2 rounds ended up raising the alarm.

Having shot a few heavies with normal ammo from behind, into the back of the helmet, I do recall shooting one through the ear phones but have never replicated that one so going on a glitch.

Just shoot the lower region of their chin/their upper throat. There's a small gap between the visor and the armored collar. A hit to this region will put heavies down instantly - without the need of special ammo.

the turret gun also kills a heavy with a one shot lul

Yep, thats the heavies true nemesis, they drop like flies😂.

[OZZ]

well i shot them in the legs too and nothin happened to the heavys .It was the jic-7.62 we r talking about right?

Gas arrows are the fastest, they 1hko a heavy with no setup unlike turret. And you carry 30 of these for some reason.

Yes you can. Armor piercing round and try to shoot visor of helmet.

It's a little off topic I guess cuz DarkenDragon was asking about a specific challenge. Using any other type of bullet interaction/takedown method might result in a failure.

you need heavy sniper for that challenge you arent require to do all the challeng in the first try you don't have the tool

Wrong!

He is talking about the mission where it is suggested to use a lighter sniper rifle...

nah he talking the second mission where it's say you to use only your sniper only with base round so no what i say is valid

i suggest you to buy an heavy sniper rifle sure they don't have suppressor but you will get the challenge

[Lucy Kaida]

Doesn't it say to "only kill enemies with normal rounds" and not "kill ALL enemies with only normal rounds"? Just ignore Heavies and go around them...

[AlphaVictorKilo]

AP ammo on any sniper rifle will kill them

They are armored, therefore use Armor Piercing ammunition

Even with a "light" sniper rifle, a headshot with AP ammo will kill a heavy

If you want to go the loud route though? Explosive arrows ;) I think it'll take three body shots to kill them

EDIT: Oh, talking about the challenge. Yeah just avoid the heavies completely if you can

if the dude is show u the side of his helmet, u can shoot him in the ears, that will take him down on 1 regular bullet if u hit the right spot, its rather narrow tho, if his facing u id say between his visor and above his vest, tho that one is even harder to hit in my experience

I found a weak spot at helmet. on the nape of the neck. Just under helmets finished point. Too small but only one weak point. I will try to take screenshot.

Yes there is a way to kill any heavy with one light bullet straight into that weak spot.

Also, these forums never cease to amaze me. OP clearly states he wants to know about a way to finish a specific challenge on a specific map, yet people somehow take it as an invitation to suggest absolutely irrelevant stuff. Like wow...

When the heavy stands still you can see the outline of the helmet at the front. Hit it below that outline but without hitting the neck guard (big wollen thing around his head) and you will kill it with one shot.
You can do the same from behind the heavy but the neck guard is high enough that you need to hit the helmet first to make him rear his head.

Unless you are a very good or very lucky shot, then you likely need to get quite close, 50-100m to reliably hit it.
