Patriot feels unusable

[ChequeMate]

So I tried the Patriot after a long time and it seems so ineffective against Chargers, and I am not talking about just the misalligned sights. Its taking like 3-4 missiles to kill a charger whereas before you could just pop leg armour with 1 missile and then destroy it with a few rounds of minigun.

But well on the plus side I survived an entire horde and 2 chargers not being able to do much damage due to the armour buff, so I guess yay?

Yeah but good luck hitting it in the head when the rockets don't even land where you're aiming. Usually when I come across a charger while in a mech, I'll hop out and just use my quasar instead, because that weapon actually shoots where your crosshair is (crazy concept I know)

just aim slightly to the right and u will hit the head perfectly, i have no issues with the mech im still using it on tier 7-9 missions with great succes

I use the mech because it makes extraction easy, but I find it annoying the rockets don't have an accurate crosshair. I don't want to have to guess where to shoot the rockets :(
There should be a separate crosshair for the rocket and minigun, because currently the crosshair is only accurate for the minigun.

"Rockets are buggy"

No, it's a skill issue

They removed the ability of the Rocket to punch through armor if you don't aim it. Shoot the head directly and the Chargers die in 2 hits

Scavenger swarm? Stomp them

It's pretty sad how there's a cool mech in the game as a late-game unlock but they managed to make it suck so hard practically no one ever uses it.

it still takes 2 rockets to the head to kill a chrager, your aim is just bad

I've used patriot last night.
It would be much easier, if rockets actually went where you aim, instead of way over there to the left.

"Fix" for patriot shooting itself messed up with its short-mid range targeting on rockets.

Bots just rip it to shreds and against bugs mobility is king.

It still is great for defending extraction, but that's about it.

TBH the devs have a skill issue for not being able to make an accurate crosshair

[DarkFenix]

We should start a bet on what Arrowhead will break when they try to 'fix' the mech again. So far the mech has gotten worse every single time they've touched it, I give it two more 'fixes' before calling it simply crashes the entire server.

Fun fact: If you press the swap shoulders button while in the mech the crosshair is aligned again.
I don't know why the devs still haven't fixed this yet

Yes, it should be one of the mouse side buttons by default.

not true it takes 2 rockets to the head to kill a charger

Not true, you defy all logic and reason just to defend a GAME, good job.

That said, yes it is true, and fact, fact is backed by proof and reason, yours eh.. zealotry.

They also have a skill called not even needing the mech because they play in Tier 3 primarily.

[Sera]

They need to give the mech suit a big buff to justify the downside of can't reload the guns/rockets (alongside loads of bugs) and only two uses per match.

[Jyoumon23]

Did all y'all forget the Mech has a melee stomp that can two shot chargers legs? or 1 shot almost anything but a titan?
