Reaper selfdestruct ????

[GreenTee]

Hello all!
Today i`ve got interesting glitch: area has 23 level with 8 rivals. I`ve kill one for Reaper spawn. Then i fast travel for nearest safeplace. When I spawn i see message about "Reaper is spawned"
then "Reaper has been kill b player" (in solo game), and i fall through floor. Again and again. Exit to main menu and continue. Now - area level 21, no Reaper....

It is a common occurrence, glitch or not. Had you destroyed several more ordinary machines chances are another reaper would have spawned. It happened to me twice already. It seems there is a time frame for killing reapers. If you take too long they will self-destruct.

If a Reaper self-destructs, can you still loot it?

If you fell through the floor right after the Reaper "self-destructed" than it's likely that the Reaper also fell through the floor and died by the water layer underneath the map.

My two self-destructed reapers disappeared from the map so I could not loot them.

I have downed 7-8 reapers now and 4 of them have selfdestructed(no falling through world) and all were lootable.

Seems the loot drop is slightly higher if you can kill it before it self destructs. When it reaches 10%, slam it with the hardest hitting weapons you have as quickly as you can.

Thanks lads for all your responses. Now if I can only find a Reaper in an area that I am also in.LOL

Yesterday ( as best as I could see ) Havok pushed a couple dead machines on top of an unlooted reaper and somehow blocked the loot prompt blocking it indefinitely, that was fun lol.

This one i killed today, when it died i was inside a garage because it was doing its gas attack, after it ignited the gas it died but said player killed it. I was by myself in the game and could still loot it.

After i'd killed it i was collecting more ammo and killed a few patrol mobs and a normal harvester and boom another reaper spawns.

These mobs need to be toned down a bit, that forcefield is only down for about 4 secs, hardly time to aim a gun and fire.

I understand the idea of making a Reaper tough to kill....BUT THAT TOUGH? I need a larger carry amount and a much bigger footlocker;and more weapons holder numbers so I can carry enough to kill this big beast.

I know!

It needs the forcefield to drop longer than 4 secs.

The reaper is even indirectly tougher now that the game's weapons' damage capabilities have been drastically nerfed by the December patch. I reckon some are 4.5 times weaker.

I do like how bots r slightly more aggressive now but they could have left weapon damage alone

Oh I like more aggressiveness, too. In addition to adapting tactics with the new weapons damage, spending your skill points wisely and crafting the right attire can help improve weapon damage and/or get better protection.
