any tips for killing Rikers guards?

[M. Flarre]

those guys have high armor rate and high fire power, reload relatively fast for having machineguns, and there are two or three guys around. hitting their ammobox is sort of hard for me since they always face me, hiding their weak point back.
so I usually and up changing my weapon with marksman rifle and keep shooting their heads behind the cover, but this drains my ammo and takes too long.
especially when I play in the DZ and get involved with those guards enemies, other groups of A.I.s near the area those I aleady killed respawn during the fight and start shooting on my back...


please let me know if there are better way to deal with these guys, thanks!

you can see their ammo box on the side from the front. Sometimes you can shoot it through their backpack as well.

There are two things I do. If I am by myself I usually throw a turret. The heavy type of mobs don't like it, and usually will instantly turn and run to it if it is behind them. So then you have the perfect opportunity to shoot their weakpoint.

The other is in a group I flank and fire at their head. They tend to target whoever is closest to them, so as long as you are in cover you should be fine. Then your teammates can shoot the weakpoint. Running straight past them is a huge risk, but usually gives you complete aggro as well.

I suppose if you have a lot of armor damage, head shot damage, and/or crit damage head shots will burn the armor more ammo efficient. But I fund turrets work best for the solo player. But groups are definetly the best and safest way to get to the weakpoint and thus make the enemy type easy to deal with.
