What weapon you recommend for taking down harvesters

[󠁳]

Laser gun and heavy machine gun - two options i see for now

[Grandpa!]

Anti Materiel rifle, and, surprisingly, Railgun. They have the damage and the penetration to go for the joints.

I saw some people using Spears, but it seems a bit inconsistent depending on where the shot lands.

RR and EAT are still alright, just gotta aim well so you hit the leg joints rather than the eye.

Impact grenades also work in a pinch if you're a madlad or desperate enough.

Commando, aim it at the center joint connecting the legs , or just shoot one of the legs, tho, they are smaller target, which is harder.

Flamethrower bypass their shield, get up and close, and fry them, they can't turn quickly to fire at you , so keep moving around their bottom.

Thermite, 2 is enough to bring them down, but this is harder approach, cuz they sway around and missing means you just wasted your thermite, painfully.

Ultimatum, can 2 shots them, but I won't recommend it , it has only 1-2 shots afterall, you can replenish the ammo by just picking ammo box scattered around city.

Those are my recommendation, but I prefer Commando, since it's so precise and you got 4 shots with it.

Commando will one-shot it to the leg joint. Just take down the shield with your Sickle first.

[Foxador]

If you're aiming for the leg joints a lot of weapons work. Even a few shots from a Jar-5 can kill a harvester if you hit the same leg joint

Depends on if you want a weapon just for killing a harvester or you want a weapon that can work for multi purpose stuff like crowd control

My no1 option for everything squids is the medium machine gun, MG-43, especially when you put it on max rpm, it kills all the small units and when it comes to harvesters it works really well on melting the shield then is controllable enough to easily keep on target to shred the hip joint at range.
Anti-material rifle is 4 shots on the hip joint so really good if you hit your shots.
Commando being laser guided makes it easy to blow the joint.
Even medium pen primary guns work well enough, anything with at least medium pen will cut the leg off quick at the hip weak point

[Albino Noodle]

Commando for me, means you can take a supply pack too for the endless swarms of endless voteless that you need to fight off.

[Nyxie]

In my personal experience, I think the Commando, Laser Gun, or Anti-Material Rifle all work exceptionally well. The Commando can almost always have a Harvester destroyed in under 2 rockets, the laser gun melts through the shields and deals high damage, and the anti-material rifle can bring the harvester down in under a magazine if you can hit your shots. Targeting the Harvester's leg joint's will bring it down swiftly. Good luck out there.

[Guardian_Angel]

MMG at max RPM. Melts the joint in around 3 seconds.

[Fizz]

Laser Canon is very acurate. MG 43 is good, too.
As for primaries, the newest double edge sickle is great for them, too.

Thanx everyone

Commando would be the absolute best Anti-Tank weapon in the game were it reloadable
