Why are bile titans so inconsistent in Shots to kill

[Recruit]

ONE time i 2 shot with recoiless rifle to its head, sometimes 3

other times 4 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SHOTS TO ITS HEAD

WHERE IS THE CONSISTENCY?

FIx his stupid hitboxes, this inconsistency is driving me nuts

[LoveTruffle]

They move around a lot, the windows where they're perfectly still are small and their weak points are small. Seems to be working as intended.

I found the RR to be pretty bad for bile titan, the times you 2 shotted them are probably times your allies shot it as well. what you can do though is shoot is ballsak, then it stop spitting.

Is this actually true

I don't think this is actually true.

If you are talking about killing it with Headshots:
Shoot the Titan while it is not spitting and it will be a 2 shot kill.
If you shoot it while it spits its more like 4 hits.

While the Titan spits it folds the head back and it doesnt count as headshot anymore (you can still hit the head but its way harder, just aim a little bit higher than normal).

What I don't understand is why it takes less damage when it's spraying acid. Doesn't make any sense at all.

is that a thing?, or just a rumor

Be warned, when they engage (meaning the spitting animation) there is damage reduction.

I still think its so incredibly stupid that you have to hit the most heavily armored part of the heads on both the bile titan and chargers to kill them in 2 shots or 1 shot in the case of the chargers. While taking at least twice as much shots when you shoot a rocket down a bile titans throat, or blast the fleshy underside of a chargers head when it rears up.

Head and Body and Legs require different amount of hits and if you hit one you should keep going for that part since otherwise you'll be spreading damage taking longer to kill it

[Silverlight]

They want a game about chaos. Not a game about consistent results.
This design philosophy is apparent at every step of the game.

Wait, for real? is that- Huh. I'm gonna have to try test that myself, it would explain a lot.

It wasn't like that at launch but people kept complaining about chargers so they made it a one hit kill.

The only thing inconsistent is your aim.

[Myth Alric]

The theory is that when it spits acid, it lift's it forehead back and so the hitbox is like forced into it's skull and so takes less damage.
