Exotic sniper rifle the Heel
Can someone explain how you get the damage bonus to go off with this?

What does hitting skill proxies mean exactly?!?!

Also does a headshot count as a weakspot?

Or just stuff like the tank on a cleaner?

If you are talking about historian, than spec alot into firearms for the extra damage...
If you ment the tenebrae, then it means that you need to destroy weakspots to make the bonus work... And no, a headshot doesn't count as a weakspot.

If your going after that, are you also using it with the Dead Eye set, for the guaranteed critical hit?

Weak spots are things like tanks on the backs of the cleaners, and the grenade packs on the back of thugs. I don't know about weak spots on the LMB, I don't know as they have any.

Skill proxies might refer to medical support units and engineers turrets, but I don't know for certain. I never use skills like those, because they only work under very specific circumstances.

In my play style, I prefer to go for guaranteed damage, like increased head shot damage, increased crit damage, or guaranteed critical hits.

Umm...there is a sniper rifle called the Heel. It's part of the sniper weapon set, the Devil is it's counterpart.

They have special talents that stack with each other if you have them both equipped.

If I was talking about the Historian, I would have said the Historian :)

A skill proxy is a turret or shield... rolling balls, med bag, stuff that a skill would deploy.

I don't think headshots count, only tanks on cleaners, ammo and grenade boxes on backs.. stuff like that.

Actually i have some questions on those two as i have them.
The first thing i tried using those rifles with Dead Eye set and i did'nt see any 100% critical hit. It just does not work. Well it was not Clasified set but 2 clasified + 4 normal peaces.

Maximum damage i could get were 125.000 damage from single shot.
What should i recalibrate?

Go at least 7 or 8 k firearms rest stamina, eauip full crit damage mods and no crit chance. Deadeye works only zooming in with SCOPE not aiming down sights but SCOPES. Use them with tab or rebind it to middle mouse or wherever.

also deadeye only gives 50% crit chance if not in cover even if you use sights, so you have to be in cover. thats it

I use then both with classified sentry.
They are equipped with 12x scopes and omega supressors for max. Head shot damage.

That way just about any hit will give you bonus for the next shot.
Any headshot will trigger the sentry bonus,increasing all damage taken.

I don't think that is related to what he was asking in the first place.

Heel still has fury talent all on its own, the question was how to trigger it,

As a side note to OP....
Since you seem unaware of skill proxies I thought I should mention a nice skill you can equip that will heal teammates and proxies within a certain distance when you use a first aid kit.. very handy in places like Stolen Signal to repair a shield under fire for example.

I don't think some of these people have even seen the weapon I'm talking about. Yeah it has a special talent that has to be triggered a certain way.

I have two very nice rolls, on the Devil and Heel both, I can equip them both and get the dual special talents.


on a side note..you're talking about the talent Combat Medic..that's not a skill, that's a talent.

Are you saying that triggers the Heel's talent? I'm not so sure on that one

Cool yeah I was thinking about using them with Sentry too when I get it, I run Predator right now but that's obviously no good for running with the Devil and the Heel.

Predator is made for assault rifles and smg's.

No I'm not saying that, just sounded like you may be unsure about what skill proxies were it was worth a mention about that talent. I avoided the term talent since we were talking about weapon talents and wanted to avoid confusion.

Cheers and happy holidays

Skill Proxies are enemy deployables. I.e. if you shoot a turret it activates this talent.

I know this post is old, but I've searched everywhere and could not find a correct answer to this question.

The Icon for it is a broken turret.

Than why not make a new post yourself m8, instead of bumping a 2 year old one.. just saying.
