Can we get weaker Railgun alternatives for solo players in future updates?

[driveandkill]

Really cool mechanic, thanks for adding it! But to be honest many players will be locked out of the mechanic, due to not having 3 ppl to play with. Are there any planned alternatives that are of course weaker and maybe take longer to set up but are viable for solo players?

Honestly i'd prefer just a way to get codexes as a solo more than a weaker railgun, even if it's more work at the end of the day for a solo it's the loot we're after right?

Medium mechs are very much doable solo now, but agree, we need some alternative way to take out other invincible enemies. They will probably be killable too at some point.

You can already blow the machinegun out of Toothy's back, but I spent about 200 (some of them missed, but not a lot) grenade shells on it afterwards and there were no results, so its likely to assume its still invincible.

It feels like hint enough that they will expand it with solo players on their mind.

I routinely saw toothy die to mediums a few patches back. Hasn't happened at all this patch so something changed.

I hope that recruits can carry the rail gun for you in the future. I'm not to worried about it right now because I'm happily farming mechs and the new bunco quests.

I have theory I have to test later. I was trying to kill Toothy from the 'kill the officer' quest. Going to have to run some test on other maps to see if its killable. It might be that medium mechs are just capable of dealing more damage if they dont lose their weapon.

That is roughly my theory as well. I think toothy just became far better at actually killing things instead of just taking damage.

A couple squads of europan soldiers performing uninterrupted fire is insane dps but if they get stunned/killed it doesn't happen.

Just let us bring in an AI carry bot that can carry 2 or all 3 of the parts and call it good

I saw Toothy faceplanting once when it engaged (and mostly destroyed) 2 medium mechs and a gazillion drones, tanks and exos. Wasn't lootable, though.

Was it pingable? Exos bug out some time and take a knee.
