Flying robots, omg, too strong?

[Furry Eskimo]

Dropped into a game and there were three already, and I tried to fight them, but couldn't seem to kill them.. By the end there were six to eight, and it felt like there was nothing we could do to kill them..

Did we bring the wrong equipment, or are they op? I suspect they require anti-tank equipment, but I didn't bring any, and the team did, but kept failing to use it. I tried to run, but couldn't outrun them..

Imho, they seem OP. Do they have any weak points that someone without anti-tank gear can fire at? I tried using a lightening gun but it didn't seem to do anything, and I fired at their engines but that didn't seem to help either..

Thanks.
Is there any known way for those with only low armor penetration to fight or flee? I found myself unable to do either. I ran until I found a railgun, but it had no ammo..

Sadly you need to bring armor pen weapons in this game, can't count on teammates.

Well that's a bummer. Most bugs have weak points you can target with weaker ammunition, or the ability to outrun the enemy. I know the bots are tougher, a lot more armored, too armored if you ask me, but I can't think of any not that can't be defeated with good aim and weaker ammunition.

Bot gunships get owned by spear.

Was in a mission with gunships and they didn't shoot back, just flew around and scanned stuff. Maybe a bug.

You actually can destroy with Spear too, which is surprising, A LOT more easier but, ammo becomes an issue unfortunately.

Finally something the Spear is actually good at

Skill issue.

I saw in them in a mission and I had a railgun, but it didn't seem to hit them. Couldn't see any weak points myself, but they were kind of far away. Quasar seemed to oneshot it though.

Aim for the little engines and you can take them down. Friends and I were able to take them down with the following.


-Any MG but it takes nearly forever.

The engines are medium armor while the rest is heavy armor. The Stallwart does jack all, the normal MG just doesn't do enough damage because it is only doing 60% damage and the engines have a lot of HP, and the HMG Just shreds them in less then half a mag. Seriously, the HMG is good, It's just not a Main weapon, is more support compared to the other Two MG's.

1 guy with laser cannon can keep the skies free (for free). Hit the engines for around ~1.5 sec...

That's what I did just now, the rest of the team dealt with everything else.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I'd enter d the mission with equipment that would allow me to thin the heard, because team already seemed equiped for most larger enemies.

Do we know what stratagems.they're immune to? Ive been using the one that hits the largest target with bombs, but there seems to be a lot of situations where that doesn't work as expected.
