Behemoths

[New To This]

.....So it USED to take 2 eat's to kill a charger.
Then they made it 1 with a buff to rockets.

Now it's back to 2?

So when 2 biles, and 3 behemoths roll around the corner...I now need 10 rockets?
Well, I do not have 10 rockets....

Dang, 2 steps forward 1 step back.

5% overall increase to player DPS.
100% increase to charger tankyness.

lol Ya win some, ya get trolled some by devs it seems.

If heavy armored units were more like Tanks in L4D, a rare occurrence that needed focus fire I'd understand.

But sweet merciful god these things can SPAWN IN GROUPS RANDOMLY with little to no notice, what were they thinking?!

Yeah watching 5 walk out from behind a mountain just.....made me sigh.

I have NEVER been forced to look at other players loadouts before.
Now I see nobody else running anti-heavy stuff and just leave the lobby.

I will not be the 1 guy doing the anti-heavy role anymore.
Because they made that role boring to fill with this nonsense.

The behemoth charger spam on T9 is actually out of control. Actually.

Edit: lmao getting clown awards for stating the truth as usual.

When the update first dropped on 13 June, I could still kill Behemoth chargers with 1 shot to the face with my RR/EAT, I'm not lying. Then suddenly they got buffed now when I went back to the bug front to do today's personal order. Direct shot to the Behemoth charger's face and it still charges at you, shrugging it off like as if the rocket was a tiny pebble. I didn't know they could silently update enemy HP now on the fly without requiring a patch/update. So now it's confirmed that they need 2 rockets face to be killed?

Their faces are actually multi-tiered. The shovel-like blade sticking out the front is like a shield, while their mouth is the weak point.

Their mouth is located under the aforementioned blade, right between the tusks. I tend to 1shot them when I hit them in the mouth. The blade is like a deflective shield.

But hitting them in the mouth is next to impossible, since they lower their heads to charge at you.

Best bet is to blow the armor off one of their legs. Then blow the leg off. Leg meta on Behemoths is real.

There are two chargers now.
The original that can be one shot still exists, however it's actually the RARE spawn.
Most charger spawns are now behemoths.

No patch notes, nothing, just "Here ya go, we either messed up! Or decided to undermine buffing the guns"

For Behemoths, I just use the original meta - break the leg open and shoot the exposed flesh so it still only takes 1 rocket and a little primary fire to take them down.

No, I clearly one shotted the behemoths with one shot on my first game against bugs after updating to the latest patch. And I killed multiple of them in a match with my RR, all with one shot. Only when I'm back today playing bugs then I realized that they're not dying from one shot to the face with a rocket.

It also takes two shots on the legs to take off the armor.

Huh, admittedly I haven't been using the RR/EAT a lot yet this patch, my b

Yeah it is a huge "Wtf have you done?" moment to be fighting a charger that's as tanky as bile

Not really new, just made all the more noticeable due to the game vomiting more enemies at the players than any reasonable person would want/be able to deal with.

I loved being the anti-heavy guy.
Now I dodge lobbies without at least 2-3 anti heavy weapons

Just too much of a pain to bother, it's no longer fun
