Winters shields in high crime spree

[Lyon-CZ]

Pure ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t. They are almost unkillable in high spree levels (played 6000+). It tooks like 10 or more headshots with thanatos to kill them. Now imagine 5 shields at once in close combat heists, you are going to die fast.

I like challenges, but this epic fail.

Its because the game isn't balanced around high crime sprees

Pretty sure CS is all about challenging yourself to go as high as you could, until you no longer succeed.

[Copy & Cat]

Any infinite kind of mission structure breaks after some point

Broken quite soon, 6000 is not so much. Not sure this update was meant to break the game in this way.

You can just not kill them, shields do very little damage, +damage variations of CS will affect that but it'll still be mega-crappy compared to every single other enemy out there.

Considering there are achievements for Crime Spree 50, 100 and 250. I assume that once you pass 1000 you should expect to fail soon...

So you got to 6000, obviously fighting cops in loud - congrats that is good work, but dont complain that it is difficult to kill a stationary special at that level. You ARE suppose to fail soon :-)

Winter Shields can only take 10% of their health in a single hit + 50% damage reduction thanks to Winters being there for a minute.

Don't use the Thanatos, simple as that. Read the comment above.

Wait until they add the fix for MP9 Shields' damage, which they included in the beta, they're literally HRTs with Shields.

not that I complain since they should've been working like that ages ago

Winters goons too though?

[Lyon-CZ]

Not Winters, but all shields are turned into Winters shields and are almost invincible. 5 shields at one place, blocking your way out, good luck...

[Diavolo]

How did you even got to 6000

[Sterling]

I don't even know why something should suddendly be easy to kill on a 6000+ crime spree.

[Lyon-CZ]

My friend had 6000, i played with him. I played even 14000 spree and it was not so hard like it is now. Shields totally changed gameplay.

You could just shoot them with a weapon that doesn't deal so much excessive damage.
