In case you don't know, the two fins above and below the main 'head' of the harvester also affect it's performance (destroying top fin prevents shield regen, bottom fin affects beam accuracy).

But tbh, usually I just shoot it's leg joint off.

Harvesters were a lot scarier the first few times I fought one.

Harvesters are trivial to deal with once you realise that medium armour penetration shots against the location where the leg joint connects to the body are its weak spot. Once that specific spot runs out of HP the harvester is instakilled.

You can destroy them very quickly with the level 1 machine gun (set it to 900 RPM and go prone if it's close, recoil reduction armour helps with this) and even faster if you have multiple teammates with the machine gun and coordinate on which joint you are shooting.

Alternatively I think one (1) disposable anti-tank launcher shot to its body will destroy it, but the machine gun is still preferable because it can deal with literally everything the illuminate can throw at you currently.

Harvesters are hulk/charger tier enemies. So exepct ♥♥♥♥ that works on either, to work on it

I still think harvesters shouldn't die from losing a single limb. It should take two limbs for them to fall. Why the heck they need three limbs anyway? (yes I know three limbs is cooler than two lol)

If they lose a leg they should just move at 1/3rd speed or something.

Harvesters were super scary in the beginning when we didn't know their weak spot. Now that we do they are trivially easy.

Also they need a melee attack for their third leg so it gives you a reason to prioritize that one if anything. This way they can laaazer you from afar, shock you if you're close but still melee you to death if you have that shock armor.

Have you ever seen a tripod still standing with a missing leg?

Yes,

the third leg is for extra stability.

You don't need a third leg either do you?

I didn't start with three.

You'll end up with three or four as you grow older.

That's because the harvesters are biological organism.

How long Harvester stun by stun nade?

I still prefer impact since it quite nice for wipe ton of voteless and double to get rid of ground overseer boy band.

I think you need to aim a bit closer to the joint with anti-tank. I was twice shoot EAT directly at the eye and it still stand. Or may be RR have better dmg to one shot it at the centre mass? But agree that MG is much better, specially if you can do a burst for those fly.

I've seen a Daddy longlegs spider try to walk with only 1 leg.
