Trouble killing hulks.

[Lycon]

So I watch YT vids with laser cannon saying you have to shoot the legs.
And seeing those vids those legs pop real quick... except when I do it....?
I shoot the legs for aaages but to no avail (with the laser cannon)
And when theres 2 together its entirely impossible because they just rek ur face and U cant aim for ♥♥♥♥.
Same with AC, takes for EVER to pop those legs.
Like, I really want something different then the EAT/quasar but I dont see anything else being as good as those?

You can do it with the HMG, HMG Emplacement, AMR, and Autocannon (at least) by shooting them in the eyeplate. HMG Emplacement has enough fire rate to knock out an eye at a distance without much need for setup. If you're a good shot, AMR and Autocannon 2 shot the faceplate. I like to run Stun Grenades, as it makes the Hulks stop moving for a few seconds, making it trivial to 2 shot the faceplate.

Edit: A bit of fire comes out the eyeplate if you scored a good hit.

Edit 2: With Stun grenades, although it slows you down, if you dive 2-3 times behind a hulk you stunned close up, you can take out its heatsink with most main weapons. It then starts to 'bleed out' and dies a few seconds later.

Never heard that you have to hit their legs, i usually always went for an obvious weakspot that is an red glowing eye

[Ryzilynt]

Also, blowing the arms off take a bit of the fight out of them.

[Ravnin]

Each leg takes around 5 shots from an auto cannon.
Don't know about the laser cannon since I don't like it but I think shooting it's eye is a better choice for that.

[Ryzilynt]

There is also a giant glowing thing on its back....

[Ragosta tin Dei]

tbh, if you're close enough to shoot the laser at it its close enough to 1 shot you.

[ZiggyDeath]

If you're using a Laser Cannon, precision is everything.

The Laser Cannon's DPS is actually the same as the Scythe (300dps), the big difference is the fire duration and the penetration.

You need to hold it on the eye for 2-3 seconds, out of a possible 10s of fire time. De-limbing takes over twice as long, which either means you have no other choice, or your aim is at a level where you should consider other weapons.

the lasers range is 200m.

Shoot the red eye with your laser
Same for autocannon
And amr
And quasar
Arc thrower kills hulks in 2-4 shots with no aiming required, it also stun locks them in place so they become no threat

Use the laser on the head, you will see on the dmg animation if you are hitting. Red is hitting, blue is not.

stun grenade + Quasar headshot. ez

[Svartkladd]

Take AMR, aim for glowing red stuff. Use 200 m scope for accuracy; scope is misaligned, actual aim point will be above upper left corner of square, about half height of upper vertical line (can be tested in trivial mission against wall).

Just hit those cute little stompy legs. It will practically become a helpless puppy after you take out one of its legs.

how do i switch scopes? i open the menu, but to actually switch them is what?

With the AC you will see fire particles if you do damage. This is true for all parts - legs, arms, head and heatsink. For legs and arms aim at the flat armored parts - shoulders and thighs.

The LC is kinda the opposite. If the beam is being deflected you will see light particles. If it's dealing damage you won't really see anything. Shot placement should be the same.

I only ever shoot limbs if I'm out of stun grenades and can't get a good shot on the face without dying.
