That Feybreak Oil Rig is ridiculously hard.

[Junior Mustang]

My MAX STAS lvl 60 Character with a Legendary Rocket Launcher does like 2pts. of damage to their Level 58ish Pals... 😒😒

[Nicodemous52]

I've not tried that yet. I'm currently playing in a hardcore world. I've lost a handful of pals, but I'm going super slow. I'm lvl 60 with like 3 lvl 60 pals, but Victor is the hardest challenges I've taken so far. I've taken the legendarys, but I find them to be easier other than maybe Jetragon. I've done very little on Feybreak. I've explored a fair chunk of it, but not well enough as I've found jacksquat.

Bruh... I'm playing in NORMAL DIFICULTY. If they're gonna do that stupid buff to enemies, then why put a CAP in the player's stats. I mean, I have a locker full of Stat Raising Potions that can't use because my "stats are maxed".

If you're talking about the Knocklems they specifically have a partner skill which makes them nearly invulnerable for a period of time, you pretty much have to just ignore them and move on. But i do agree they made everything in Feybreak way too tanky bullet sponges.

Check your settings then, sounds like you have either player damage dealt, pal damage taken, or both turned down to nothing because that's mathematically impossible. Even a common Rocket Launcher with default attack deals 1,000,000 damage (10,000 attack on weapon X 100 attack on player) which is then divided by the defense calculation on the target, even assuming a level 60 with 3000 defense and an alpha buff you should still be dealing around 200.

Maybe it's on purpose, so that when they release the next update and new techs/pals/skills/weapons it will be easier for you and the challenge will be in a new place.

Possibly, Sakurajima was pretty undertuned so I feel like they just overcompensated on the tuning on this patch. Wondering when they're gonna release that Sniper Rifle that has been knocking around in the code since launch lol. TBH that feels like an endgame weapon though since IIRC it had like 50k attack power as well as a zoom scope and a very long distance damage falloff.

i did it on my first try. you're probably unprepared... and me being over prepared
the legendary advance bow help a lot, is cheap to craft and easy to find.

but even then you legit cant rush the oil rig with just a rocket launcher. you have to take it slowly with multiple good guns and pals or else you get rekt.
and of coarse lot of ammo do to the boss

[FFreak]

1, pref 2-3 multi rocket launchers even at base lvl and a little patience and some ammo its easy..i havent died since my first time going and having chopper get me cuz i didnt know.

[Grandpa Crack Pipe]

The Feybreak oil rig is pretty biznasty. I find the best way to deal with it is cheesing it as much as humanly possible.
Your pals are just gonna explode, so speccing fully into attack with Gobfins and a mind wipe elixer is probably your best bet. Attack pendants stack as long as they're not the same rarity.
Find safe spots the enemies can't reach you at and cluster up for rocket hits. You'd be surprised how many there are.
The big chest only spawns in three spots: beside the giant circular tower, in the middle at the top of the highest staircase, and on the other farthest side. Use a decent mobility mount to get under these spots and grapple up to check. Fighting through the entire rig is never worth it.
Never fight the chopper without something over your head to block the rockets.
Also, you can only get the legendary Heloxite armor schematics from the small chests, not the big one. I learned that after a while.

[NikemanBOOM]

I remember my first time heading over there. I was not expecting to get gunned down by a laser turret.

[drakeloreroar]

My personal method is to gain a bunch of altitude before getting in range of the lasers then just bee-lining it to the tall tower, hopping off of Jetragon before he dies and Galeclaw gliding the rest of the way, using a multi-guided to take out the guy on the tower and landing there to rest.
From there drop down to one of the buildings below that the NPCs can't get inside (cause if they can they like to shoot you through the walls) find a catwalk beside it with a blind corner, alert the guards and then use a combo of my grenade launcher and 7 rocket launchers (pop into your menu and swap if you don't think you have enough time to reload before the next wave reaches you.) and basically just let them all come to you using the blind corner and bad aim for cover.
Once you've cleared the deck and grabbed the rest of the loot pull the chopper and head back to the tower, you can use it for cover while shooting multi-guideds at it. Then just Dazzi Cloud home after you grab the big chest.

Somehow I don't see anyone mention Plasma Cannon here. It's there. Use it. Amass player damage bonuses and aim for their faces. Its ammo is extremely cheap to craft, and it can also reliably deal weak point damage. Those tanky Faleris and Helzephyr that those Crushers and Interceptors keep spamming at you? Gone in 4 shots. Crushers themselves? 6 shots. Just use the dang thing.

i can see why. the legendary plasma canon is in from the mega chest if you're lucky.
even though it can still do amazing work at base value and you do have a purely valid point.
i on the other hand, am a loot goblin. "why would i waist resource to even craft it when my legendary advance bow and legendary rocket launcher dos the job just fine to get the best version of said gun i can craft".
but one again. you have valid point. "It's there." why not "Use it."

Yeah I can understand wanting to craft only the best version available, but the basic version costs only ~15% of the leggy one while having 75% of leggy damage. And that 75% damage pretty much far surpasses everything else already.

Here I was going with the common version. I could still get a bit more attack power but I didn't feel like swapping stuff so I left it at that. Also leggy version ain't clearing that much faster either. This thing is op straight from the get go.
