Bile titans

[Meldity]

whats the deal with these things? sometimes it takes one shot with rail gun to blow his head off but other times it takes like 10+ shots to the head.

Most of the times I got a one-shot I think I was actually to it's side and not facing it directly. Maybe the week spot is at the side of the head?

For me it's usually 1 orbital rail cannon + 1 rail gun headshot

It's something with the angle you hit it at we really don't know how armor on things really work yet.

The hitboxes and vulnerabilities for enemies have not been fully revealed, so it's hard to say. For example, I just found out that if you destroy the abdomen of a Titan by using anti-armor weapons on its underside, it permanently disables the Titan's bile attack.

Sure we do.
Enemies have armor of varying thickness.
Certain ammo types/projectiles bounce off armor.
Other porjectiles can damage certain armor and open spots on it.
Some weapons destroy the armor and do damage to the flesh/weak parts behind directly.
Every conseqcutive shot weakens the armor even if it cant destroy it directly.
Enemies have weakspots on the back and bugs in their face.
Its basically Lost Planet. Glowing Ass means damage, destroy armor until fleshy bits glow, shoot glowing stuff.
End of story.

[skill issue]

wait until it stops and start attack eagle 500 kg and eagle 110 m if it wasn`t killed.
and higher difficulties orbital rail doesn't one-shot so orbital + 110m is also ok

But yet some thing survive the exact same thing you did before for no explainable reason such as the OP pointed out sometime's it's 1 shot sometime it's 2 and sometime's it just decides to tanks several.

Funny enough, 1-2 shots might be a bug of some sorts. And there are no special weak spots on the head.
Currently it seems that when you have a host on ps5, bile titans are very easy to kill with railgun. Even with safe mode.
When host is on a pc this doesn't happen.

Also ps5 hosts doesn't get this "dmg buff", only players who join them. But I'm not so sure about this part.

Enemy HP does not change regardless of difficulty.

i have heard it postulated that its actually a latency issue and ps5s just have an increased internal latency by an extra hundred ms or so. Some have claimed people using lagswitches on pc have replicated the effect.

Could be that you have to shoot it's mouth as it opens to spew Bile.

I've also heard people claim you can do it if not the host. Yet I've watched a live stream of someone one shot them while hosting on PC, so I don't think any of the claimed conditions are correct. It's still a mystery.

Because you didnt hit.
The Charger for example has a tiny part in its face that is a weakspot, but hitting it is pretty hard.
Just as you dont oneshot with the SPEAR on a Hulk most of the time.
It needs a specific angle to hit the weakspot directly.

I also guess they have added some sort of randomization. Basically the game could roll critical hits and sometimes the roll decides you need two and the next time it takes one.
Thats not super weird or new, several games like this do this.
DRG, Darktide, Vermintide and so on.

So you basically agreed with my first post with it being something with angles & us not fully understanding how it entirely works yet we have a basic idea but that's kinda it we don't understand it fully.

there's a sweet spot designed to make it a risky maneuver
