Beginner AOE weapons suggestions

[Gaming Gamer]

Don't have one and need it to kill Sargas Ruk (his weakpoint is immune to anyything except AOE weapons) anyone have any suggestions? I'm mastery lvl 4, I have the Penta blueprint but I can't use it and i'm not high enough mastery to use the Tonkor

EDIT: I've decided to go with the Angstrum, it has materials that are easily farmable for me and is within my mastery range. I've also discovered that Lpehantis and heard Vay Hek are also bugged so do with that information how you will

i didn't use AOE weapon back then and didn't even have it. You just need to aim.

yeah AoE weapons arent necessary for almost any boss, usually its ineffective given how weakpoints work for their phases. if u want a secondary weapon, the angstrum is solid but ammo can be an issue so bring carrier or maybe slot in a pistol mutation mod

Yeah it's literally a case of Sargas Ruk and Lech Kril (I think it was him, at least; I know Sargas is) being bugged; only AOE weapons damage their weak points rn.

Bruh Lech Kril's hitbox was bugged for me, I had to do the melee slam just to break his hose lol, how tf I get close pointblank and shoot at the weakspot and still miss? 😂

Yep, I started playing a week ago and killed Lech Kril like 4-5 days ago and I can confirm that bullets literally do nothing to his weakspot (yes it's blue) until he finally comes out of invincibility, looks like I'll either just wait til they fix it or try to get an explosive launcher or level up my mastery

I'm an MR L1, and the Sonicor and Kestrel are still some of my favourites. Kestrel and Glaive are both thrown melees, which you can detonate mid-throw for pretty decent damage.

Other AOE weapons you can get for MR4 would be the Torid, Quanta (alt-fire), Castanas, some Kitguns if you have the resources

Angstrum is technically AoE but has very low reserve ammo, bad for bosses

bruv you trying to tell op not to use aoe at all like bruh you just need to aim m8 AoE weapons dont just exist to look at them tons of weapons exist to suit certain playstyles of people if OP wants a AoE weapon then atleast say something useful instead of this nonsense you just need to aim...

Hmm... Ignis? Does the Ignis and Ignis Wraith count as a AoE weapon?

not aoe directly but easily to spread damage with it across multiple enemies at once

You just need to aim doesn't work when the hitboxes are bugged mate. The Sonicor, Torid, and spectra should work. or just ask somebody in recruiting to do the job for you

well, at the time of writing, OP didn't have aoe weapons so i suggested using the one he got just like i did long ago. I just aimed and shoot. I never said not to use aoe weapon.
