Tusk Bolkor dropship rant

[KitKat]

So... These bullcrap "dropships" with machineguns are so freaking annoying!
1)They chase me across the planes, not flying away at all untill they kill me.
2)They shoot through Mesa's 3 no problem, like if it's not on. Nothing is ricochet back at them or no damage is absorbed.
3)They have pinpoint accuracy at maximum ranges.
4)They seem to ignore Ivara's stealth.
5)They SOMETIMES seem to ignore even Limbo's rift(both the dome and just Limbo in the rift himself).
6)They seem to apply slash procs with around 100% chance per hit.
Even the annoying Ogmas don't really bother me as much as the Tusk Bolkors. Why are they a thing? Why are they so OP?

I'm talking about 40-60 Bounty SOLO, where nothing except these Bolkors bother me at all. Nothing can kill me, except these. It's sooooooo fun when there's also TWO of them! One from the previous stage of the bounty, still chasing me across the map(700m+) and one from the new bounty, the cache defense.

[Tesper]

yup, i hate to agree on this one

[WereChicken]

they're kinda the cliff racers of the plains.

We do need a way to deescalate the aggro level of the grineer while on the plains, it's kind of annoying getting spotted by one grineer while you're on your way to a fishing pond and having every unit on the plains trying to murder you. I mean they're easy enough to kill, but I'm trying to fish here dammit!

I have a friend with like 5 forma in an Opticor and he just flies around in Archwing and nukes them from orbit for fun.

I'm now building an Opticor just for Tusk Bolkors.

Tgiris won't do you much good with the damage fall-off.

On the higher level Bounties I can be doing fine, then just go from 100% health to 0 in an instant because of the damn Gunships. Heck, I was playing Ice Chroma and got gunned down to 0 from them, their DPS seems way to high.

Excactly my point!

As much as I enjoy shooting them down with Opticor, I have to agree they're a bit unbalanced. My main gripe is how often they seem to show up once a fight begins. If they're gonna be this strong, maybe have them spawn in a bit more slowly?

Well, at least one thing can kill us. Good enough.

Ballisticas have a chance to 1 shot you if you're not careful despite them being coded to always miss. Except they can quickscope you now.

They give me flashbacks of crime spree snipers.

1. no, they don't chase you, but have a rather silly attack and detection range on them. they are often though called in when you raided a camp, this might explain your thinking ot them chasing you.
2. not tested yet, but will soon.
3. indeed, it lookes like that - but you can see them miss pretty hard when you keep moving/jumping fast enough. their range in annoying though. and the many hits are more to the high firerate of the bloody turrets.
4. certainly not - i ran with ivara countless times onthe plains by the buggers and when i'm invisible, they don't shoot at all. if i go invi while they are shooting, they keep shooting for a while longer, but at the place where they saw me last... so go invi, and MOVE ^.^
5. that sounds more like a bug... i think there was a (now patched) bug with other enemies ignoring the rift.
6. well, again, i would rather say the high proc chance is due to their high firerate. personally, i find the ogmas far more annoying, for those are reallly chasing you around and the rocket/bombs combination is often the death reason for my carrier. i try to prevent them from coming as often as possible by destroying those little pests of reinforcement drones - which sadly every аrsehead and their dogs seems to have in store aplenty...

anyway, those gunships are still easily destroyed with the right weapons - in higher levels i tend to ignore the bolkors though for they are quite the bullet sponges (but hitting their turrets every few seconds helps in defense situations where you can't just "vacate" the area. the ogmas though still needs to be destroyed.

[RogueSoldier]

While they hit like a truck, I kinda like em like this. Its a gunship not a bird, they're supposed to be tough and intimidating (And yes i solo the bounties including the 50-60 ones). I'll play a saryn melee build but ill end up bringing something like the aklex prime to just deal with em if need be.
