ED-209 What the hell

[PrimalByte]

The level of power you need to defeat ED-209 is insane. From punks to ED, that's a step up too far too soon. Robo gets stuck on everything and ED's rocket just finish me, no cover.
15 times tonight. Throwing everything at it collected and used all the health. Need to move faster and duck like in the 8bit and 16bit versions.

Look at your environment. There is plenty of cover...

I am playing on hard and I beat him on first try. Make sure you have a fully upgraded PCB board with at least 20 percent weapon extra damage and 20% percent armor piercing buffer activated on your pcb board upgrade (in the menus - a microchip you get at the robocop lair lock-up by a scientist and there are many more to find around the maps).

Then yeah, run and grab those mines that are around the room placed in the centre and throw them on the ground when the ED-209 walks on them it takes a HUUUGE chunk of health away from him, repeat and shoot, run. Should work for you.

I played on HARD with my first ED-209 Encounter at the Steel Mill. I literally just went to the Steel & Concrete Pillar that was closest with a bunch of Cement bags and used that as my cover and just peaked between his attacks. Rockets mostly just went by and never hit. I didnt even used the PCB boards because I missed the tutorial on them (Wasnt paying attention). Still was able to beat ED-209 in under 10 minutes for the Achievement.

[simplyme]

Yeah. I put it down 2 weeks ago. Game was not fun to begin with then this.

[Shiroi Ren]

Beat it on hard the first time after finding that it is as stupid as in the movie. Just walked close to it and made it stomp. Stomp deals around 6-7% of damage if connected or zero if not. Shaved some of its HP with Cobra beforehand though.

What? A Cobra in the Steel Mill? Yeah, right.

You can get at least two in Quarry. To make it even easier, there is no armored enemies to shoot from it after you get it.

EDIT: Looked at what I actually grabbed. It was just a heavy sniper rifle. Still was enough to shave of around half of its HP. It was the first time and last time I actually used any other weapon than Auto 9.

[Black Hole]

There really isn't a need for any other weapon, though the cobra is fun to use.

The problem that I found is that other weapons are not as accurate, not as damaging and not as available in large quantities as Auto 9.

[REhorror]

I really feel the Auto 9 shouldn't have infinite ammo, it makes the game indeed too easy.

Should different kinds of ammo tips instead.

Hey! Main protagonists of 80s movies had bottomless magazines... Robo at least need to reload unless he get specific chip node.

Yeah but imagine stuff like incendiary tip or explosive tip instead.

[Black Hole]

or acid against mech units...sadly the game isn't big enough there isn't much variety.

Yeah, but a LMG is even better and not only can you bring one with you, there's another one on a shelf in the boss arena as well. Also, Cobra kills an ED-209 in two shots, like in the movie.

[EVILE-VON-OVERKILLE]

Stay in cover and shoot from cover...did it the first try with the pistol and hardly got hit on hard

Dodge, use the environment. Aim for his weak points.
You can kill him off without much trouble with no skill points put into anything other than deduction at that point.

Dodge? I'm 6 hours in. I don't have dodge yet.
