Rail Cannon Strike nerfed?

[Sylvester Sirloin]

Took a break for a few weeks till the new warbond came out. And I noticed the Rail Cannon strike doesn't 1 shot Bile Titans anymore. I have tried multiple times and it just injures it.

It never did, unless you get a very lucky hit.
9 times out of 10 it cracks the armour and a single impact name will finish the job
It was never a guaranteed 1 hit on titans though

it's network of host sometimes even quasar canon shots not registering in the back of tanks.

[Howitzer]

Rail Cannon Strike hasn't been touched in the patch notes. I know sometimes it would, other times it won't.

[Doragor]

Yes, PS5 hosts would cause the game to be piss easy.
Could 1 shot bile titans with most heavy weaponry, from stratagems to support weapons.
It's fixed now.

[Feitanakin]

You are right. Rail cannon could kill titans in one shot some time ago, not every shot, but at least 2 out of 3 times it was one shot. I think devs secretly changed stats of the titan, so it can't be killed in one shot.

Rail cannon can oneshot if the angle is right and the shot hit its head, most of the time it'll hit the back and leave the Titan with low hp.

I've never seen the orbital rail cannon kill the bile titan in one hit and been playing more or less every day since release.

I noticed I couldn't one shot chargers with the Quasar like I used to if I hit them in the head. It used to be consistent one shots with the Quasar. Now it takes 2 head shots.

With the sheer amount of stealth nerfing and changing this studio does with this game, you legitimately can't trust them the least bit. Everything feels off and different all the time. There's never any consistency with anything in this game. I often see the quasar laser phase through everything I shoot at as well. If it's a host issue like someone else mentioned, then I guess I'm not going to answer SOSes anymore if my weapons are going to be affected THAT much.

Destroy the belly first and the Cannon will finish a Titan every time.

[Chaos]

It never could do that, unless you got PS5 bug or lucky headshot.
That or the titan is heavily wounded already.

[TheL0grus]

I've been playing almost since release. The Orbital Rail “OR” used to one shot Chargers, Tanks, BTs, Impalers, and Harvey's but no longer. It was my emergency retreat weapon. Recently watched a BT take 3 ORs in a row and continue to charge. Even seen an Alpha commander survive a direct hit. It was hurt bad but survived.
The OR may not have been nerfed but that means the big boys have all been buffed.

This forum post is like a year old. It's a bit out of date by now.

Funny, My rails always 1 shot it, I'm unlucky if it doesn't.

Same, this guy revives a year old thread with bogus information.

AHHH the rail canon, my favorite and least favorite stratagem out of all of them.

Most satisfying one to call in, but the most disappointing and over cooked one that takes WAY to long to come off of cool down.
