So I need some help. About Bile Titans.

[Scyris]

So if I have a autocannon, how can I kill these? I know I can blow off the 2 green things under it, but after that any further autocannon shells just seem to bounce off it. Couldn't hurt it with any other gun either. Eventually decided to just air strike it which finally worked. But what are the options if your stuck with one and you have no air strikes etc available?

Also its not really a skill issue, its a lack of knowledge issue here thus why I am asking here how to deal with these better, so I can better myself as a player.

you prob need a spear or anytype of strategem the best way ( like 500k bomb or orbital laser and so on ) else its better to run since the thick armor nearly everywhere and the factor that their hp pool is like a sponge without heavy stuff

and if its on Cooldown you better run at least i havent seen ppl actually fighting it with anything else effectively ( normal guns and such so no turrets or strategem )

These are all the best things to hit the Bile Titan, use Orbital Railcannon, Railgun, Recoilless Rifle, Airstrike, 500kg Bomb, Air Rocket Strike, Orbital Laser and Missile/Cannon Turrets.

What I do is railcannon then fire a recoilless rifle to finish it off or fire several railgun shots depending on my loadout. Most of the time it is best to distance yourself away from the Bile Titan as much as you can and not engage it by yourself, when you are with the team it is easier to stay safe whiles its attention is on someone else so you can keep firing rockets or unsafe mode shots from the railgun.

Another way is a bit risky is to run underneath it and throw a 500kg bomb then run pass it, if you don't have anything hindering the call-down timer and use railgun to make it flinch to stop it from moving.

To increase your survivability bring Shield backpack, so you don't get slowed when running away from its puke.

Currently I am level 16 almost 17, So railgun is not an option yet, but I do plan to unlock it second I hit 20 as all i've heard about it was good things.

So there's no way to kill it if you don't have a strong armor penetrating stratagem?

I was wondering the same as you can't seem to deal any more damage to it after destroying it's 2 weakspots.

The oribtal precision strike completely ignores armor at the point of impact, so it can be very viable if you get the shot to nail the titan perfectly. Alternatively a viable option that's available from low level, if occasionally frustrating, is the EAT-17 rocket launcher. It will kill a titan with three rockets to the face, which is unfortunately a little over the two you get from a single deployment, so you are unfortunately reliant on teammates or stratagems to finish it off.

spear kills with 3 hits, its easy but what is easier is orbital laser, one full beam is enough to kill it singlehandedly.

autocannon is not really meant for this foe. more for killing medium size elites and quick clearing bugholes. thats why its earliest best anti-armor unlock which is lv13 but what you need is lv15to20 stuff. the real best stuff.

The spear can 1 shot a bile titan if you can hit it in the head with it, blows its head clean off. Did it twice in a difficulty 6 mission I ran with a friend, he called a extra spear so I picked up, got 2, 1 shot bile titan kills that mission with headshots.

Two shots to the face with a recoilless rifle kills the bile titan and you get the recoiless pretty early. Aim the weapon in first person, not third person for best effect.

[WhiteCrow]

If you want to kill it yourself without relying on turrets or calldowns, you're going to need an EAT or recoil-less. Don't rely on autocannon for everything.

[Kappieri]

honestly the best option is the railgun or the disposable anti-tank rockets. 2 rockets to the head kills it instantly, and the railgun has been either 2-shot kills or 10-shot kills... not sure if its a bug but some lobbies it just feels like a nerf gun and other lobbies it literally pimp slaps them.

solo'd one with the flamethower so obviously the whole community is garbage at the game and has skill issues worse than my parents divorse.

but on a serious note having someone on your team with anti tank such as disposables, recoiless, railgun, or the spear. orbital lasers are pretty reliable so long as it actually focuses the titan on startup. 500kg can one shot it, so long as its directly on top of the explosion and a Tuesday. orbital railgun can be affective so long as it happens to take out the head and not a chunk of its side as it usually does.

I've also killed both chargers and bile titans with a flamethrower before, it just takes a while but it CAN kill them by itself. The fire dot/heat damage in general seems to ignore armor entirely damaging the health pool directly even if the flamethrower is shot at a chargers face it'll die just as fast as if you flame throwered its butt, as it completly ignores armor.

Yeah but i find the recoilless incredibly underwhelming.
On higher difficulties there are often multiple bile titans at a time + chargers + bile spewing ticks + melee bugs.
You'll never have time to solo load the recoilless and co-op loading is rare in public matches, hard in private ones.
At difficulties 6/7 and above you need to be constantly moving or everyone in the fight, there's not much wiggle room to call for a loader.
I think EAT is better in a lot of ways, as you can call it in on the move, dump them both quickly into an enemy and keep moving with your original support weapon.

i generally hit them in the face. the the recoiless launcher it can one shot them if you place it right. Also, i dont for SURE know but when they are throwing up on you, if you hit them during that it almost always one shot them. ive started using the railgun to have more mobility and still be able to pack a punch.

your shots have to be precise though. cause hitting anywhere thats not directly in the mouth is essentially a wasted shot

[QLIQ]

They need to fix the orbital railgun, it is amazing but sometimes picks a charger directly next to the bile titan which is a massive waste.
