Colossus weak point question
After breaking the boss' padding/ weak point.

Will the weak point damage multiplier still exist?

It seems that way. Took me a while to figure that out, too... I always questioned what the point of breaking weak points was exactly, aside from the stagger it causes.
Shooting a spot that used to have armour on it on a Colossus yields yellow weak point numbers that are higher than random hits elsewhere. I couldn't tell if they are higher than armoured weak point hits, though.

The easiest to see is paying attention to the damage number colors.
If the color is still yellow, that means its weakpoint damage.

I kind of hope someone made a table soon on explaining what damage number colour indicates. For example i think Orange means Crit damages.

Although, I dont think there is a colour that indicates weak spot damage.

White: Nothing special.
Green: Your weapon type is dealing bonus damage. This overrides White.
Yellow: Weakspot. This overrides White and Green.
Orange: Crits. This overrides all other colors.

It's important to note that attacking weak points does not contribute to their rage meter gain

It will , yes. But the hit box may be smaller and less obvious

Green mean you using enemy's ammo weakness and you deal more damage to them. Your gun have different ammo type, crusher, burst and pierce. You can gather the enemy's ammo and elemental weakness and weak body part by using your scaner (pressing TAB on your keyboard).
