Charger Behemoths Take Two AT shots?

[Huevote]

Thoughts on this change? The update is great except for this change, it really kills the RR, EAT and Quasar. I like the concept but they spawn to frequently from breaches and naturally. Looks like flamethrower is going to replace our AT.

Yay...more heavy armored enemies that demand increasingly specific solutions.

Flamethrower yeah is amazing, counters the increased chaff and kills chargers very easily, it actually feels like the heavy chargers die faster to flamethrower to legs than the normal ones do. With the reduced number of Bile titans I've been feeling like one airstrike or having one person spamming eats around is enough to deal with them. Having them take two hits with other AT doesn't really feel all that bad tbh, I've never felt overwhelmed by chargers so an extra shot isn't that big a deal.

Good. Maybe now bugs won't be an AT fiesta.

Also, many guns got their durable damage significantly buffed. It's probably still not a great idea to magdump the butt, but it's more viable as a last resort.

Try hitting the leg with your AT rocket to strip its armor then finishing it with your primary. I was doing this last night and it seemed to be working, although there were times I thought I hit the leg and the armor remained, but I may have missed and hit its head. I'm not 100% this strategy works yet but it seems promising.

Reducing AT effectiveness increases AT need, it doesn't decrease it.

Reducing AT effectiveness against some Chargers increases the need for a Flamethrower, especially since there are far less Bile Titans around now. Besides, legs still die to the same stuff as regular Chargers, so just shoot the leg instead and then magdump with your primary.
