PLEASE nerf shield devastators 🙏😭

[Gears3371]

I'm sure a decent amount of people have been in a stand-off with a ton of bots but then just one shield devastator shows up and just starts ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ molesting you with rounds of bullets. Idk if it's the fact I wear light armor or it's just I kinda suck at the game.

If you bring blast resistant armor they're basically the only thing that kills you tbh. And that's when they roll perfect accuracy and just dome you with their MG.

Shield Devas and MG emplacement bots sometimes put out the most annoyingly accurate hail of bullets known to Super Earth.
Going prone is a death trap- they simply dome you repeatedly.

Luckily, Shield Devas die incredibly easy to the AMR, and a number of other weapons. Impact grenades are great here as well, especially for multiple Devas

Nahh, git guud or play lower difficulty.

Diligence counter-sniper (a primary) will 1-shot them in the face. Completely dead. AMR not required just learn to aim. Same thing for senator revolver.

Shield devastators do not need a change. They're slow as molasses and their gun has a completely unique sound. They're perfectly manageable.

[Cat Nose Presser]

I feel that they should reload animations at least, because they spam bullets infinitely without the need for reload. Rocket devastators should also have a limited amount of rockets. Infinite ammo for enemies is just plain stupid.

[zdaytonaroadster]

Dominator or scorcher is about the only thing that works against them, or the counter sniper if your really accurate.

[SPIGOT]

It could be that the AMR is tailor made for combatting them, but they never give me too much trouble if you're careful to not just engage at close quarters with no cover.

[LoveTruffle]

I like where they're at. They're the only thing bots regularly have that allow them to keep pressure on players.

they quite literally have aimbot and will shred you instantly upon sight like a COD hacker.
probably the only bot that is dramatically unbalanced. they have a ton of armor, 75% of their body is covered with an indestructible shield, and they have a machine gun that will shred you instantly if you poke your head out.

Hell no, you still can be killed with rocket that headshot you (medium armor blast resistant)

[Wutever]

I think they are fine in terms of balance. Not so much in terms of how common they are on higher difficulties.

[GoreTiger]

Shield devs are super easy to kill. Just throw an impact grenade at them and bam.

Rocket devs are so much worse then them.

Bro they get one shotted in the face with the DCS and the AMR.

You could use cover to avoid their barrages? Fighting bots mean that you don't stand out in the open taking hits. Use cover.
