Nerf Rocket Devestators

[Eddie]

This is nothing new, but couldnt find another thread that said this specifically. They constantly headshot and instantly kill you from the other side of the map, even while prone. It's just silly.

Ignore every YouTuber telling you it's useless. It is not. You can tank an immeasurable amount of ordinance with it and on bot missions the speed debuff might as well not matter.

As for "headshotting, even when prone" when you're proning facing them, your head is literally the only target.

This is what I like to hear: Constructive feedback. I however still find it a bit immersion breaking that my tiny head up on a ledge, peaking out for a couple of seconds instantly gets headshotted from 150 meters away by a spread of rockets. Or, even when i throw myself of said ledge and another devastator instantly locks on and predicts where I will be the next second and blows me up mid air. That specific part I just dont find fun.

Except that it is useless, unless you actually plan to eat rockets all day long.

Me? I just don't get hit in the first place. And in the small amount of times I do get hit my medium armor plus shield is enough to tank a single rocket. As long as it is not to the face.

Automatons are not fun to play against....too much ranged weapons, i'll stick with the terminids or the 3rd enemy faction.

Rocket Devastators are just too tanky - you need specialised weapons to take them down and they can 1shot you.

Their rocket pads should be their weak spot, they're loaded with rockets. Shooting them even with light pen weapon should at least make rockets explode and disable it.

No it doesn't. I can shoot it for days and they keep standing and savloing rockets back at me.

You're not hitting the rocket pods then idk what else to say
Literally have done it with every light pen primary.

"Ah yes, just run the same thing as people who think shield gen is mandatory."

No thanks. Other things are viable too.
(slugger and scorcher still good, but not my preferred for bots.)

Can you light pen the walker ankles? I pretty much dont use light pen on bots because of walkers and devastator nonsense.
