I get the feeling that the Apex isn't the best against Voxes because they don't really have weakspots to hit.Maybe I'll try it anyways.
dobby
>>586251817>they don't really have weakspots to hitThe heat vents transfer 100% damage to main HP & are light pen + 0% durable + allow damage overflow. You transfer full damage from your apex shooting at them, when compared to 0.65(armor pen matching armor) * (durable bullshit) damage you'd deal aiming at center mass.Head is also 60% instead of 100% durable like center mass, but it's still Armor 5. Still sucks but less bad.Tracks would be decent thakns to 0% dur and med armor, but only transfer 50% damage to main, so that blows.I'm well aware none of this is intuitive. Nuke sweden.
>>586253397correction: Vents are 60% durable. Nuke sweden again.A single vent hit with apex deals 1178 damage to the Vox's total 9k. Hitting all 5 vents would thus cause 5980 damage.A single headshot deals 765.7 damage.A single bodyshot deals 604 damage.A single track shot deals 930 damage.To deal with the remaining 3020 HP after shooting all vents with the apex, you'd be best off shooting @ tracks (4 shots) or head (4 shots too). Body is exactly 5 shots.Unintuitive fucking design. Yeah man shoot at the tank's TRACKS. That'll kill it. Nuke sweden a third time.
>>586253870You forgot the 700 bonus damage that popping a vent does.
>>586254502Good catch.So if you get all 5 vents perfectly, you can deal 5980 + 700*5 = 9480 damage -- Killing the war strider with only 5 Apex shots.That is actually not awful. That being said, some of those are hard as fuck to hit for some reason.
man if only there was some sort of intuitive game design where shooting an enemy's main source of mobility causes it to become crippledkinda like shooting the leg of a hulk or a voteless yknowa little ctrl + c would work wonders
>>586254961best we can do is broken guns but grenades still work
>>586254961I feel like with the vox engine they were trying to do what that anon that was complaining about one-shotting enemies last thread wanted.They were trying to force you to play the stupid minigame where you throw a grenade in the hatches. But obviously no one has time for that so the optimal strategy just became dumping huge amounts of AT damage on it. It just became a resource check.
>>586256058Yeah but that doesn't work for enemies that constantly respawn. Vox should be like a mini HL. Greatly increase its health and aggro/firing range, only one on map, and spawns from a building which requires a hellbomb to destroy. Even better put that spawn in the middle of a mega fortress and make destroying it the fucking objective.
>>586256058It is a fun minigame on lower diffs when you almost always deal with just one Vox at a time and there's not that many other enemies around.On D10 there's too much other bullshit so you can't dedicate a full minute (or so) just to kill one enemy.
>>586252134frieda sex.
>>586256058The minigame is fine when there is one vox engine and enemies are not walking/shooting through it.
>>586254828They're easy to hit if you're behind it. Which usually isn't the case when it's targeting you.Also there's a 6th vent under the vox.
imagine you could build presets and pick colors for all your stuff
>>586256058Unfortunately the vox engine is janky enough, strong enough and numerous enough that playing the minigame is extremely inconvenient, dangerous, and unreliablehaving to get that close to a vox already implies that you'll also quicly be surrounded by the army of shitters around it, not to mention the decent odds of getting track'd or shot through the vox's body. Add that to the explosions likely happening all aroung you from hostile & friendly fire causing damage & ragdolls, the most reliable option and often the fastest, is to dump every AT you have at it.
At this rate, we're not even going to liberate Choepessa during the MO and end on 3/3 failures for the operation.
>he still thinks MO's are real.
>>586256058I'm that anon u mentioned, I think there could be a balance where you don't have to play a retarded minigame every single time but also can't just trivialize enemies with instakills. Vox mostly fails on that, especially cuz of all the fucking jank surrounding its existence.
>>586261564>he's breaking kayfabe
>>586256058Dogs had this.You would defang it and give it a belly rub.Then they buffed RR to oneshot it and no one bothered to belly rub it since.
>>586262758I rarely see them get RR'd.It's more often something like OPS + eagle strafing to kill one. Or just shooting the eye with Apex.
>7.2 new shit>launcher and games says we're in 7.2.2>mfwCalypso is coming back but with infected Voteless biomass gone out of control

Guys, Im starting to think Swedes might not be the most honest people or have a very good work ethic...
Should I use the speargun
spooky lobby doko
>>586275618We are all busy getting ready to take our kids trick-or-treating and having sex with our witch costume wives.

why are botniggers so ESL and useless all the time? are they that imprinted onto their faction?
>>586280360
breacher or ultimatum
>>586279498GGs
Can someone please just rip off HD2 but with better missions, maps, and weapons? It can look like a ps2 game I don't care just make it fun.
why dont they release some primaries that arent shit vs bots? self handicapping with medium marksman rifles is gay
>>586238204Fabricators have 1500 HP with an AV of 5 (Tank 1). The Apex damage would need to drop below 500 for the fabricator to survive more than 3 shots. According to the website, this happens at 485 meters.
actually they should release more assault rifles and smgs that no one gives a shit about
>>586295396They need to start doing actual creative weapons and not just old ballistic gun but with some future shit on it.
>>586295929the solothurn is fucking awesome though
gib moar snipers
anyone play warframe? there are some interesting similarities... do you ever think about all that DE pulls off in roughly the same span of time? let alone all the features that AH seemingly cant figure out.
>>586309570They are completely different games. DE is probably the best when it comes to F2P MP game devs, but it's not a fair comparison.
>>586288751Just play MGSV.
>>586312036okay but play warframe and then imagine not being able to summersault on the super destroyer
>page 9What went so horribly wrong?
hdg might actually be cool and social and doing stuff on halloween
Are you fucking retards?
WHY IS THERE TWO THREADS
>>586325348My stalker wife isn't a retard.
sex with nova-chan
>>586325348No me and your mom broke up :(
/hdg/ candymaxxed and fall into a diebeetus coma?
>>586256058What happened to the vox and war strider is simple. 3d Model outsourced to a competent company, actual game integration done by alexus tier devs. Thats also why the head isnt a lethal part
