I dont understand leviathans

[ssumbra]

I dump an entire turets worth of ammo trough them and it just phases right trough the thing, so does rr shells. I dont understand how im meant to kill them, the stuff i send towards the glowing underside phases right trough it. It does the same thing for dropships that want to land. I really dont understand.

The best spot to shoot is the spot under their head segment. around 5-6 spear shots will take em down.

This is an absurd amount of firepower to take one down....especially considering they will fire at the generators during the defense missions and it's possible to have 2 at once in the sky above you at the same time....on difficulty 5...

I kinda think the spawns on the defense missions are borked. They seem very excessive and tend to drop harvesters right in the base. I don't think it's really supposed to do that.

Oh I feel you man. From what I can gather, they are the Illuminate version of the Factory Strider or Bile Titan. They have level 5 tank armor, so AT is needed. As for their spawns, I believe that more will spawn as you progress through the mission as when I begin a Difficulty 6 mission, I'll see 1, but by the time extraction becomes available, I'll see around 3 to 4 roaming.

illuminate does feel weird in that regard
they are significantly tankier than the tank-based faction, automatons even
it's like devs forgot they nerfed every enemy in the game

It's an absurd amount of ship.

Shoot on the glowing circles under the belly.

This! Destroying all three will bring em down. Three rockets from a commando to each of em will do the trick.

TBH i think the reason they suck to fight right now is explicity because of the event.
If you check the status of the event you will see that Eagles currently have a longer CoolDown because we dont have air superiority and it says they are working to over come this.

We know there is a strat that is an air superiority strat for the eagle. So odds are, we will be getting a stratagem that calls in the eagle to attack and clear out air units like interlopers and leviathans.

The double Autocanon Exosuit shreds the leviathan best way atm imo

Dosnt work, shots phase trough and dont register :(

Recoilless Rifle can kill them in around three-four shots with well targeted hits to the circle weakspots on the underside.

AT Emplacements are also good at sniping out leviathans.

I dont get how your shooting him on the underside, whenever i try my shots dont seem to register and pass trough them.
