Legendary Chrome Piramid

[hostile]

I got the location of the lair of a legendary chrome piramid, im lvl 22 warden with very decent equipment and never fought a chrome piramid before so im wondering if this can be my end or not. What do u think?

Don't go there unless your reputation with robots is -150 or better.

[CHOO CHOO]

Level 22 Wardens are known to be completely immune to explosions, so by all means do go there.

[Mehukannu]

You'll be fine. Remember to use menacing stare on if you have it.

Well, i have been exploring a little bit the Deathlands and found a normal Chrome Piramid and is marked as impossible and i just got to lvl25 and finished bethesda. Still not sure if my Eigen rifle and fullerite sword are enough.

Status update edit: Tried to fight a Chrome piramid and oneshooted me with +-200hp and 65 Heat resist lul

[CHOO CHOO]

Heat Resistance doesn't help agains explodos.

Fun fact: You can find the weapons used by Chrome Pyramids as random loot drops. However, they weight 1500 pounds, so only characters with the most extreme carry capacity are able to actually use them effectively as a weapon. Building a character capable of such a feat and then using one with the 'Sweep' Heavy Weapon skill ("You fire five shots with your heavy weapon sweeping over a ninety degree cone.") is one of my personal goals in Qud.

I only found the swarm array once; it must be one of the rarest of all items.

I've never faced a Chrome Pyramid yet, I've heard they have a forcefield surrounding them. If so, is it always active, and is it possible to destroy it without aggroing the Pyramid itself?

Seems to me like if you could charge in then disarm or dismember it quickly, that would be only of the only effective ways of taking one out.

The way to fight a chrome pyramid in melee is to find a way to get close without dying, throw an EMP, use a variable PV weapon to take out the force shield and disarm before the EMP is out. Then it is just time while you wail away at it.

As an Axe user I had to level up a bunch to unlock the long blades skill to pull this off as I do not know of a vibro weapon for axes and thus needed to get it to drop its weapons rather than "disarm" it with my axes.

[Hypereia]

Hmm. I prefer 2-handed axes, maybe with a good sharp modded axe I could have some luck with penetrating through their armor to dismember them.

I guess it comes down to luck more with dismember, and disarm is more sure-fire. Maybe when a few more builds come out and I want to start a new character, I'll send my Axe-Man in to test his might.

Thanks for the advice.

[FIGBird]

Yeah, if I could survive the attacks I would hack away. I have a couple metametal axes with some decent mods, but I penetrate infrequently so I have few chances to dismember. It was easier just to level the long blades to use with my vibrokesph (spelling) and then swap back to my axes to remove limbs.

This is also how I fight leering stalkers, though they do not hit me all that hard its easier to not have to charge at them after I do get hit. In any case, the EMP makes it a lot easier, and I suppose you could EMP over and over again but that wastes materials and my build didn't have any other skills required so it wasn't a big deal... just had to spend a lot of time fighting fruit flies XD

[hostile]

Maybe cudgels could do good vs this super armored targets

[Sentient_Toaster]

Don't forget the possibility of using a hologram bracelet if you have one.

[Fenix-Venix]

I guess shooters hav troubles with them, because they have no vibrokopesh bullets...

You could most likely disarm it with long blade although even then it can punch you.
1000 xp isn't even remotely enough for killing a chrome pyramid.
