How to kill invincible Kronos ?

[Commander Tom]

I know that you're supposed to shoot the exhausts, the problem is when I look up some video's they all shoot the weakspot (exhausts) but the weakspots are all blue and thus damage goes in. I'm using a big gun with a lot of damage and only 8 shots.

Problem is though, my weakspots are all red and no matter how many times i hit them nothing happens. He takes no damage at all apart from 4-5 damage on his turrets.

Anyone know how to get them to blue instead of red ?

I just shot him with the pre war artilleries.

[Bad Mojo]

In my experience in which I fought him two times.

Both times i just went for the red squares with my sniper gun.

If you focus on the ones on the legs, he will kneel down for a a bit.

[Thecrippler]

Devs can you add a gunship so we can kill it from the air while dodging all the firepower he has

[Daddalus]

let the Phalanx deal with his rockets and shoot his weapons. preferable his launcher on schoulder or head. (Makes the most damage on him).

then ther are the red dronecamera thingis. (destroy them to stun him).

if you cant reach that things schoot at the squares. (makes less damage than other 2 but are easy to reach).

I'm shooting with the pre war artilleries and i get 5000 per hit, doesn't matter if i hit him in the shoulder or head. I have to fire 5 or 6 artilleries to kill him but in the end he destroys a few and only can get 10 ish hits in. I need one more salvo. My base does nothing against it, It just shoots some missiles out of the air.

Improve your point defense with more ciws? Have it prioritize missiles first? Also they did just patch the game so they are better at shooting missiles down.

I have 2 already, can't build more , I don't have the recouces for it. Yep they prioritise missiles. I have tried this boss for like 10-15 times. I have a purple gun which can't shoot accurate, it has shattershot and missed pretty much everything, the other two mods are useless on it as well so I have to rely on the arty's for now since nothing else can hit it.

[Commander Tom]

This is kinda ticking me off, I just fired 5 pre war artillery shells 3 times, hit all the shots...!

Then ran forwards to grab the tank . Missed one shot because you can't see nothing when u inside the tank and hit the other two. Still he's not dead, he has like 3 percent health left and nothing i do to it does damage to it.

Could change one of your xen mods. You get refunded the old one back when you inject now and can swap in a more accurate one. But my 2 ciws could handle the missile barrages barely.

I would say save the 4 frontal arty cannons assuming this on snowy ruins. Set them to max range, massive only. Direct fire mode with auto. Then use the longer range xen you choose to instal for anything else that’s left. If you use fae Pratt or any tiger squad op the free fire will be real helpful. I think I used heavy shot myself and it could hit decent enough on krono’s body.

For my clear I had used 3 of those frontal arty cannons. And had to resort to the one on my outpost that was out of range for a long time. Ended up using the 3 stock shells and all 6 in my auto loader. So after like 12 shots it I think one maybe 2 missed. I then had to just spray at it vaguely with heavy shot using free fire.

Ended up having to tank like 4 missile barrages. But I have 2 ciws set to 7.5k range on missile focus and still took like half the missiles. I had the repair over time augment which likely helped a lot but I did lose a good bit of my front guns and armor.

[Daedrac]

Long story short is you're using a shotgun to try and snipe exhaust ports on a walking skyscraper?

Change your core gun.. doesn't matter what quality it is if you can't hit with it since he'll always be out of range.

The first 2 times I fought this boss I killed him using my Xen gun only, No artillery, no tanks, no nothing.

I fully specd my gun into a sniper with scope and long barrel....pretty much wrecked all the weak points. Sniper my favourite build so far

[NijimaXL]

The mod that has more damage the more it travels plus sniper mod.

[Kaincorallon]

You can shoot the launchers off of each shoulder to lower his damage.

[Sten]

I have a few CIWS but I just hop in a Knight and do all my dmg with it. He goes down relatively quickly hitting weak points.

ALL im saying is PreWar 105 MIKE MIKE is the way forward on every map for the get out of jail situations of killing a boss
