Whats the best way to kill a charger?

[Bastila Shan]

Im used to just shooting their butts when they charge past me. But how else and what are the good weapons to use? I heard you can shoot their leg?

[VoiD]

2 railgun shots to their front leg, then empty a P19 clip on it = dead charger

Haven't tried it with disposable AT or recoiless but it shouldn't be much different, the main advantage of railguns is that it's quick to aim and fire, you can do it while on the run, and you don't need to stop to reload.

Alternativelly use explosive damage against it's "weak" spot, non explosive damage deals something like 90% less damage to those "weak" spots, that's why it takes forever to kill them with regular weapons, but a couple of autocannon shots or impact grenades on it's butt should kill it.

[Fraktal]

110mm rocket pods, railcannon orbital, and orbital laser are all good strategems for them.

Recoilless rifle to remove armor then shoot with primary weapon

Shoot its butt

Flamer it

[HeavyTeemu]

AT missiles or Recoiless rifle. You can target any body part but backside does the most dmg.

[Bastila Shan]

Can i auto cannon its leg will that remove its armor?

[DisTer]

If you're right front of it (and far enough) you can OS them with Lance stratagem, otherwise it'll break their armor and put them in bleeding status.

Break the armor on the leg then fill the wound full of bullets. Disposable AT was my go to break the leg for early levels.

So far orbit lasers didnt work out for me, couldnt even take a charger out

[Doomvora]

3 autocannon shots to the butt breaks the tail and it'll bleed out, eat or recoiless rifle to the leg to break armor, 2 railgun shots to the leg to break armor.

Then empty bullets into the exposed leg.

Really any explosive strategem except cluster bomb

[Aradner]

Use anything stronger than Autocannon, including Autocannon turret, to turn any part of it orange, then shoot orange part with anything till it dies. Don't shoot the head, it's a trap, legs are best to shoot

It depends, the charger was prolly avoiding the brunt of the laser by moving constantly, it does work.

[Beravin]

My opinion? Orbital railcannon. Toss it once and the charger dies 2 seconds later. Repeat every 2-3 minutes per the cooldown. Not ideal for multiple chargers though, but thats why you have 3 other stratagem slots and up to 3 other people with you.

The orbital laser absolutely works. My build runs orbital laser and orbital railcannon. I use railcannon first because its just a cooldown, but if I have to fight multiple chargers or titans I'll throw in the laser too. That way you can kill 2 chargers every 3ish minutes.

Yeah I feel the autocannon is kinda underpowered myself, it sounds like it'd be THE anti-charger weapon, but other than hitting it in the butt, it does basically nothing to them.

FPBP, the railgun is the best method IMO, 'cause you carry 20 shots and it reloads pretty quickly. So you can deal with multiple chargers without having to wait for cooldowns.

2 shots into a leg to chip away the armour, and a 3rd into the same leg for a killshot - but at that point any gun will bring it down quickly.

[Commander Hitman2b]

2 railgun shot in the legs, 1 eat or 1 recoiless in the leg to open the armor up then you blast it with you main guns , if you have the stratagems you could also go 500 kg bomb or orbital rail gun

[jautja]

Railgun - knock armor off the leg, two shots in the leg, finish off the leg with a rifle or pistol.
Railgun - 4 shots to the leg
Railgun without safety - 3 hits in the head

Rocket launchers - spam, 4-5 shots
Rocket launchers - knock armor off a leg, finish off the leg with a rifle or pistol.

Shoot his ass

Glue a stratagem on top of it
