I Hate Surveyors More than Any Other Enemy

[West Dragon]

It's not that they're difficult to kill, they aren't.
It's not that they're flying enemies (it does make them annoying).
It's not that they heal enemies faster than you can damage them until you kill the surveyors.

No, what makes them the worst enemy in the game is the fact that there are times you have to kill them in order to complete an objective involving killing enemies, but then the surveyor gets stuck in some unreachable out of bounds area and is blocked off my terrain, making it so they cannot even be sniped.

It can happen during Talon of God and it can happen during Digistruct Peak. I hate surveyors more than any other enemy for this very reason!

ROFL! Preaching what a lot of us probably feel at times.

Oh the times in Digistruct you go into ffl and the only enemy(s) is a surveyor chillin out of bounds

E-Tech launchers will help you greatly with that.

I generally use shotguns against them, just wait for them to fly towards you and aim straight at them. They go down fairly quickly then, even the super badass types.
Personally, I think the tougher treshers are the worst.
They hit you with a super massive damage attack, and then immediatly go underground and stay down long enough so that you don't always have time to kill a tentacle for the second wind.

Came here expecting a rant against flying enemies, got a rant against "kill this enemy to proceed" objectives.

Hell to the f u ck yesss. I HATE those objectives. I've sat there for a good half an hour trying to kill that badass surveyor that spawns in the talon of God quest.

Why I love being a siren. Can just phaselock it and it's dead in a few seconds.

Maya, Gaige, and Axton can fair well with them. Krieg, Zer0, and Sal don't quite have the same advantage.

Enemies underground or similar are a real pain, but most of the time i like Surveyors - they are an easy way to revive when i inevitably mess up and die again.

Maya has the most advantage against airborn enemies though that can be phaslocked in place at least, buzzards are another matter but you can still damage them using her skill at least.
