and how to do it?

[Vampyres]

Should be by focus on enemy and pressing Mous Wheel.

[MrMcSwifty]

Sticky grens, if you got em.

[Frag Maniac]

^Sticky grenades, SAW, shotgun. Also stun grenades allow you to pummel them with several headshots. Don't underestimate the shotgun. I've finished one off several times with shotgun blind fire just before they get to me. It also helps to issue fire command on heavies from your squad if they are in good cover.

aim for the head. itll help a lot

[Hemmingjay]

Best strategy for heavies in game, or Spetznaz/GRU copycats with full body and face armor is a grenade(order of preference- Sticky, Frag, Flash/Concussive) and then focused fire on the head while they reel from explosion. In real life 2-3 bursts of effective fire will defeat any armor I've seen but in the game random shots are not ideal.

Press the mouse 3(wheel) button while over the enemy to get teamates to distract the heavy. Then toss a grenade at it's feel(or on with sticky) and then take a few quick but careful shots at the head. You will see the face shield crack and expose a small target area after one or two shots. It SEEMS to be more effective to hit there instead of intact mask but it still often takes a few more well placed shots. A second grenade is ideal to repeat the process as the heavy will resume shooting you after 1-1.5 seconds.


*EDIT- Sorry, I detoured into a tangent about my love of the game. Nothing essential follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this helps. BTW I love this game. The combat is ridiculous but the simulations of moral(and mortal) injuries soldiers endure and the emotional chaos due to poor intel, senseless death/orders and constant facing one's own mortality is dead on. I spent almost 4 years in various combat zones as a non-SF soldier this decade and playing this feels like coming home. Just add the smell of burning electrical equipment, human excrement, water bottles filled with urine, a Wild Tiger energy drink and my endless supply of replacement eye pro(tection) to complete the experience. There is a reason so many vets keep coming back to this game.

Thank you for your service.

And the gameplay advice.

when i press the middle mouse button then what i need to press to get my teamate to shoot at him?

[Staatsfeind126]

hold the middle mouse button and aim at the enemys. once they are marked red, let go of the button. They explained that in the tutorial at the beginning.

[DO NOT REDEEM IT]

are you talking about the well armored heavy troops? i didnt know at first either and had to google search it turns out you had to aim for the chest for those guys

Yeah i'm meaning them

♥♥♥♥ load of bullets

[Hilda]

My strategy is to use a nade if I can. Prefferably place two or three stickys on one. I don't bother with other grenades, so my alternate is to just spam heashots with my best gun. Heavies are pretty late game, so if you can I reccomend saving some of these weapons, but any assault rifle with good ammo can be enough.

First, you can use Dessert eagle, AA12, All shotguns,grenade launcher, Anti material rifle, sniper rifle, grenade, sticky grenade,etc. Second, throwing FLASH(from you, or your teammates) to blind heavy`s sight is REALLY effective.( Or you can use grenades and make sand to bilnd the enemy) Third, never rush infront of the heavy trooper(you must TAKE COVER!) Last, make sure to terminate other light troopers first(because they throw grenades more often if your playing the harder dificulties) And dont forget to shoot heavy`s FACE!!!!
