Shotgun Devastators

[Gigabyte Guru]

Somehow they did it. They made an enemy worse than the flying overseers. Why the hell does the shotgun oneshot at medium range, and why do they turn so that their weakpoint is covered by the shield at all times? I was on difficulty 6 like normal and got flooded with them doing nothing but instakilling me on every shot at ranges just barely before their pellets burn out, and then proceeding to always have their torso rotated so I couldn't see their head, while they fired directly through their own shield.

they definitely seem a little busted right now, i get behind cover like boxes and stuff which should block attacks and their shotguns hit me directly through them

I still think the flying overseers are worse. I don't know why they needed to buff the illuminate by giving their ships shields, but combining that with the flying overseers is going to drive me nuts.

getting two tapped by those things was definetly a trip.

They instant kill players wearing the heavy flame armor with vitality booster past 50 yards. They are 100% broken.

The one shot occurs when they get headshots so peeking over cover similar to other high damage bots is in fact horrible and leads to deaths.

So, with the only medium fire resistance armor in the game and knowing this they are pretty much the same as other devastators. Without fire resistance they will reapply burn and kill you.

Or just don't get near them.

Personally, I still find overseers much worse and boring to play against.

OP, you are bereft of skill.
I'm going 8-9 with no fire resistance armor and end most missions with 0 deaths.

Out to or past 50 yards is "close" to you? Good to know I guess but you are unfortunately wrong.

They can instantly kill you in that case because the shotgun pelts themselves deal ballistic damage, the fire resistance doesn't do anything against it in that case. If you want to tank them reliably, use the ballistic shield.

They are fun and fair. Hit the deck.

Looks like AH continues their time honoured tradition on not testing their game prior to patches.

[Casus Belli]

I actually really like them.

Hi, argumentative steam forum poster. I didn't say anything about this "50 yards*" range. And I didn't argue for or against their difficulty simply stated my experience with them. Anyways, have a great day!

I think the emplacement in urban warfare was making certain missions too easy by taking all the ships out.

even in level 2 they are OP
