Heavy Devastators should be nerfed

[Belitval]

They are just anbearable to deal with. Their guns are too accurate. And with that rate of fire it's just lethal. "Just throw a grenade at them, bro" - yeah, right. Throwing a grenade takes atleast 2 seconds. This stupid ****** can kill you 4 times by this time. And often they need more than one grenade, because they are stupidly tanky. And I am okay with them being tanky, but their guns are just insane.

while they can be annoying and I think they have more kills on me than most other bots, they aren't a big deal once you carry a suitable weapon.

no need for that...
Jar 5 Dominator is more than enough to 1 shot it.

It's not heavy devastators need to be nurfed but regular ones - buffed. Regular devas are clowns of the game, tier F enemy.

This games perfect to you isn't it?

They're bugged, among a million other things. The origin of their laser fire is incongruent with the barrel of their machine gun. They can also clip through their own shield to fire at you, AND seem to have a high probability of being able to clip through rocks and cover and just fire through it.

Anyone claiming skill issue doesn't have enough time playing against them, because if you do, those issues will become blatantly apparent through the course of that time. Other than those bugs, they're fine.

shoot their legs.. also hulks'.. easy kill

Both heavy and rocket devs needs nerfing.
The rocket devs have like no cooldown on their rocket barrage and insane accuracy with it.
I've tried having 2 rocket devs pin me down over 100m, they shot their rockets at me in turn and had I stood still 90% of the rockets would've been direct hits, and even if they don't hit you ragdoll around from the pushback.
And the heavies are just snipers using rapid fire HMGs.

They are easy to deal with. A big part of this game is taking the correct tools to deal with the right targets, and the weapons geared for killing devastators absolutely slaughter them with casual impunity.

They are blatantly clear. They are still easy to deal with. Skill issue.

Heavy Devastators are one enemy that when you are facing several, your first priority is securing cover. From there you better have brought some explosives in your kit. Lots of load-out options to deal with them.

Impact Nades, AutoCannon, Eruptor, Scorcher, Grenade Launcher (Chef's Kiss),

All of these you can just plink the shield.

Quasar is "m'eh", charge up from behind cover and step out to try your luck plinking them.
EAT will erase them.

JAR works hitting the faceplate or arm/leg. Shield hits don't do explosive damage, they just ricochet.

Against a single one you can use the Punisher Shotgun, just aim for the face plate. A pellet is almost guaranteed to connect and stagger the sucker, then just close and finish with a shot to the exposed head. (Same works well with the JAR which I believe will one-shot it, but you need to hit the face) Laser Cannon will kill them relatively quick once you home in on the face plate, but it has no stagger etc.

Against multiple grouped up, use cover to ensure you aren't taking fire from all of them. Stun grenades also work an absolute treat. I.e. Stun grenade then close them down with a Punisher or whatever primary you are carrying)
