In A Rut

[AdderTude]

I feel like I'm stuck in a rut at Central Production B. The stabby bots almost always are the cause of my deaths and by the time I finally down one, I'm usually out of injectables. Feels like destroying the leg armor doesn't do jack and I can't find a real opportunity to hit the rear leg since they rarely stop to repair. Oh, and one bot is covered by two gunners in a relatively small corridor. There's also no real way I can find Mk. II components to upgrade my gear unless I go back to the Rocket Yard and fight the ANGEL VI enemy (the one behind the scrapper). It's frustrating AF.

Eh... Really? The bot does a very long half circle attack that allows you to get in its back and do a nice deal of Dmg
countrattacking the bot (Hold def and then attack to knee him) staggers him for long enough as well. Just think about how he moves.
and you can bypass most of them Especially the Bridge of death part

The sweeps are easy enough to dodge, but the stab attacks feel a bit irregular on timing. Again, completely destroying the armor should force the bot to take full damage instead of continuing to mitigate damage.

Hi man.

When fighting the bot, I usually use a weapon dealing crush damage for attacking the legs. I don't know what weapon you use, but just by changing the damage type can be really helpful.

The AI of the ennemy isn't really complicated, if you have trouble fighting this ennemy when been close, you take your distance and trigger their leap attack.

If you are on CP B, then every human enemy you encounter drops MKII grade items or better. For the welding bots: try agile rigs (like the lynx or the liquidator) paired with single rigged, single hit-high damage output weapons (eg: lynx paired with pax imperator, or -even better- volatile spectre). Weapons with high crush damage or elemental damage do wonders on bots. The volatile spectre is very good or the negotiator staff. The codename Engelhart has high crush damage also. if you have more enemies, you can separate them luring them one-by-one with your drone attack (it does only one measly dmg per hit - with no filled energy bar - but the targeted enemy will come after you). This is an essential tactic for the later game.

I'm talking about components. I'm getting plenty of Mk. II Tungsten drops, but Mk. II components aren't there, simply because RHINO gear is Mk. I (indicated by recycling at the Gear Assembly).

You can get MK II armor from Scarab enemies.
These can be found in 2 areas aroudn the Welder boots.
One is the staircase that goes down near Central station, the one that goes under the first bridge. And also near the Iron mouse vending machine, pass the first welder boot and up the staircase.
Gorgona enemies give MK III, and are 4 of them in the 2nd area. You can either go for a full gorgona set. or an early MK III weapon.
