Tusk Thumpers

[VegetaxGuts]

I cant do any damage to these damn thumpers. I have a vectis prime with 3k rad damage but when i shoot the vents it does like little to no damage. plz someone help.

3k damage on a sniper is not very good DPS - it'll take you hours to kill a Doma with that. I would change to something that fires faster and does more damage. I use a pistol with 12k rad and it still takes a while to kill a Doma solo.

3k is low but do you have like 100+ crit chance and big crit damage on that too? Vectis also has falloff at range.

for reference I made vectis without my riven mod, just the usual stuff, and got 5500 radiation at 75% crit chance and 4.4 multiplier. The riven adds 66% more multishot and ~100% more puncture at the cost of something else, giving me 5200 radiation and 2600 puncture and minor increase to slash/impact. Or you can try to drive the crit up with lower damage, shoot for 100% and 6X damage on 3-4K ... I don't have the mods for it, and was able to get 3200 radiation at 90% crit chance and 5.6X damage. I am missing a few of the newer toys, took a long break.

but vectis will never reach what a kitgun can do.
with no arcane and no riven, this thing is still more than 3 times better than my best vectis, with a riven, build. It will do in the neighborhood of 60k per shot before target damage reductions. Ive taken to this being my primary and my primary being something silly or occasionally longer range (like vectis). I have a nasty quad riven and carry that one a bit.

ok so i can make a build for the vectis with that 5k rad damage will that atleast do some damage to it?

I use a pistol with 12k rad and it still takes a while to kill a Doma solo.

I would say not to bother, given the above^^^ quote.

Take a group, or wait until you have a big hitter. Unless you have something I don't and can push that to a 5k @ very high crit chance and damage.

can i just use like a eidolon hunting build/gun and use that to kill thumpers?

[PhellAsleep]

Have you tried using a stealth frame and a glaive?

Use a shattering impact sarpa to strip armor. They're odd in that their health is the same as their armor so rad damage either way.

Yes, your Eidolon killer will work quite well but you'll also want to slow them down to be able to reliably land hits. Zenurik blast slow works quite well.

If you are still having issues with kill speed. Chroma (prime) loaded out with your Eidolon sniper + sarpa + zenurik blast works amazingly well.
