How to beat 3 legged spider robots

[GnomishViking]

As the title says. Im in the biolabs area outside where theres a ton of them and they can pretty much 1-2 hit me and I barely do anything to them. They seem to have no soft spot and I cant dash away in time before they smack me super hard.

I honestly found the first 2 bosses easier then these stupid things

Git gud.
Like every enemy - dodge their attacks, then attack. They make a loud noise when they're about to jump you. Dodge, hit a couple of times go away. Repeat. You can also use singular lunge attacks (dodge forward while attacking, then dodge back) repeat. They're only hard if you get up in a corner.

I've seen video of a guy using a Titan to block the tail strike then vertical strike and take one out in three hits, but the timing has to be spot on.

I never need more than 2 hits to kill them, let alone 3, and timing doesn't even need to be that great. Check the video I posted earlier in this thread for how to kill them in 2 hits using a Volatile Spectre.

Damn I never thought of trying the Spectre, just the P.A.X. Imperator, MG Negotionator, or Spitfire Rod I'll have to give it a try though it needs upgrading to level 3 as I haven't been using it, nice tip there thx.

Just to be clear, I'm only talking about the basic models here (the ones in the Biolab) vs a Mk. II Volatile Spectre, the ones that show up later in the game might have a hair of life left after 2 block-then-vertical-counter hits of a Mk. III Volatile Spectre, depending on your Single-Rigged proficiency. It still does more damage than other weapons at similar rank though

Its also harder to block the attacks of these later models if you haven't boosted your stamina, and they tend to stay away from you more so the method in the video doesn't work nearly as well. It helps to throw in a basic attack during that long pause they have between each tail attack when they are close in order to kill them a bit faster than waiting purely for the block-and-vertical-counter.

it should also be mentioned that targeting one of the front legs and hitting it a few times removes their ability to do their (usually) one hit kill leap. the leg it broken once it starts sparking blue.

Man you guys are super helpful thanks!

[depresso]

Always aim for the tail / rear leg first, then just wail on it until dead.

[GnomishViking]

Thanks for the help everyone. I can now slay these bastards with impunity!

[Fullbusta5]

they ignore blocking as well [somehow]

This is the easiest way to do it, can kill them in a couple seconds using only 2 hits:

Ok, I'm trying this, but your attacks do literally twice as much damage as mine. Also using a Volatile Spectre Mk 2, and my single rigged proficiency is even higher than yours. For example your counter attack that dealt 2x35, only did 2x17 for me.
