Weak points?

[cwbandit207]

sorry to ask such a noob question but exactly where are the weak points on the NPC's?

I'll give you a few NPC examples with weak points. THe cleaners that have the red tank on there back is a weak point, it will explode within 3 seconds. The cleaner that is in white that throws gernades also has a week point, it will also be red, on there side area on the thighs, and they explode into fire. Then there's the Tank flamethrower guys that have 2, maybe 3 weak points. ON is right on there side with a huge tank. that will explode but not kill the npc, depending on how much damage they have already taken. THey also have a spot right behind them like the cleaners with the tank on ther back, but it is smaller to hit. ANd I'm also pretty sure they have one more weak spot on the other side, but that is also small to hit. But if you take out 2 weak spots on those big flamethrower guys, that should kill them, or require one shot to finish them off.

Most every enemy NPC is vulnerable to headshots, but a lot have marked weak points.

Rioters: Grenadiers have backpacks that detonate when shot. Their few heavy gunners have ammo boxes on their back.

Cleaners: most have a fuel tank strapped to their back. Their Molotov throwers have pouches on both their left leg. The flame tanks have three fuel tanks, one on each leg and a third behind their head.

Rikers: Grenadiers have grenade pouches on their legs. Heavy gunners have ammo boxes on their back that can be destroyed.

LMB: Grenadiers have pouches on their backs with grenades inside. Heavy gunners have the same ammo box as above that can be destroyed.

Most weak points are a different color than the rest of the enemy.

Also the hit marker on a weak spot appears yellow while hitting the weak spot

hi, shooting the head is not a weak point? my quest was hit 15 weak point. I was just doing headshots, and they were marking as headshot. And no weakpoint was adding to the amount of weakpoint needed? :) Even, if I don't understand, why the head is not considered, and counting as a weak point. :)

I use the LMG for weak points. I believe that it is not about headshots, but hitting weak parts of the body.They can add up prety fast with the LMG.
