How do you deal with Gatekeepers?

[Darkchaos]

Title. I'm just getting into Dusk and good god, not only are they tough as nails but they're also laser resistant so the deatomizer doesn't work that good against them. It takes a full charge to bring down a single neophyte.

they wont activate shield if you go stealth
later on you will get grenades that remove shields

Noted, thanks! I guess I'll need to make the crystalline armor for the cloak.

On top of that, some of them have weaknesses to the "Holy" damage type. (any ammo made with lodestone bits) so, don't forget to stock on that

I'll try that too. I do have fragments and a hexwood crossbow, so maybe lodestone bolts are the way to go.

It's a shame we can't equip our armor with same hard light layer they got. Though we can craft hand shield from hard light.

shoot them with something that is not a laser

Electrothrower was nerfed too, so I still shoot them with laser. Key is to land first hit from stealth, as they do not activate shield, until they spot you.

if you can shoot them with the laser thrower you are close enough to start meleeing them (or using the crossbows)

They maintain their distance most of the time(except witches), and I prefer to use energy weapons. Maybe in the future I will get null grenades to disable their shields.

Funny thing - hardlight shield deflects shots back at enemies. At least two Order soldiers commited not living by shooting at it.

Equipment spoiler: We actually can. Post shadow gates by getting the incent drropped by the witches, we can actually craft a tricket giving us another layer of protection like akin to the Gatekeepers shield (you need one of those broken thing you get from Runic crates too)

By the time I were making that post I didn't craft it yet. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be very durable.

Also still looking for helmet for reactor armor.

Edit: found helmet. Turns out you need head of spacemarine enemy for it.
