Bulk detonator on drillevator

[babuk.fracal]

Share strats, builds you used for that situation.

If you are driller you drill into the wall and save the run. If you are scout, you power attack into the wall or grapple and hope that you save the run.

If you are engie, lul @ U. Something, platform maybe?

[ThanatosX]

Shoot the big glowing bits. Hope the mortar shots don't drop on you.

My chief strategy is to play solo, which bans bulk detonators from spawning during the drill sequence.

A Gunner shield is probably the best tactic here.

Pretty sure you can't get off the drillevator once those barriers come up.

Something in my gut tells me this isn't true.

Words straight from the devs' mouths (that the Bulk Detonators are banned in solo missions, not that you should play solo to avoid Bulk Detonators).

Then I KNOW that's false! Because I've done more solo missions than cooperative missions and have been seeing Bulk Detonators spawn!

A build for engineer I use:
Stubby with Light-Weight Rounds 1a/b 2c 3a 4b 5b
Shard Diffractor with Overdrive Booster 1c 2a 3b 4a 5a

The max electric proc Stubby is good against those very dense swarms in the drillavator section and combos with the Shard T5 damage mod. This Shard setup meanwhile is very good at taking out any problem enemies like stingtails, grabbers, preatorians, bulks, and whatever else at any range. The range is imortant against bulks, so you can minimize the amount of bomblets hitting the platform

During the drillevator sequence? Because the devs said that bulks were only banned during the drill sequence.

Was that from the most recent hotfix or something? I've seen them spawn during the drilling while solo.

That was from their announcement livestream. Maybe they changed their mind?

Got them solo spawns too. Quick platform roof or shield helps alot. Can order shock bosco to slow it into oblivion if you run that node for drone. In team dig into wall beneath bulk and it should be fine. Even single dig deep dwarf tall niche is enough cause drillevators 'floor' will sink deeper and chunks blasts wont reach you.

Doretta is invincible for a brief period once you repaired it to 100%, so if the bulk explodes (and you failed to lure it away) you can prevent damage that way - usually all classes have ways to deal with the bulk fast (mayb driller being the worst) - scout having the best single target overall, engi has a bunch of options to deal with it quick as well - executioner oc, essentially all secondaries xD etc.

Wrong mission
