I heard someone say the Autocannon is the 2nd best solution to any problem in the game, and I'll be damned if that didn't ring true.

Killing a factory with an autocannon? By shooting at the open door?

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can shoot the top of the vent door if you are directly facing it and it will ricochet into the vent.

[–] ours@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Same for Quasar.

The autocannon ricochet update is useful for something!

[–] formergijoe@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I had been doing it well before the ricochet update.

[–] Muzugu@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or shooting at the vents on top. You have to he pretty much right in front of it, though

At any distance, mind you. And the recoilless, EAT, and quasar have the same issue.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

It's definitely not the first best way of doing it.

How do you kill a charger with the AC?

[–] all-knight-party@kbin.run 9 points 1 year ago

Taunt him like he's a bull, side step at the last second, and then fill his butt with hot lead

Throw stun grenades, dive, aim for below the armor and pray

[–] Murvel@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

You dive around alot

[–] aesopjah@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

The skill-shot way is to dodge and then wait for his little stop animation. If you hit him in the back of the leg it'll do a temporary armor crack and then a second shot on that same leg within a few sec will kill it. you'll notice a little flame on his leg that indicates you've hit the first shot correctly.

But the other suggested ways are easier to time, especially if there's a lot of Chaos going on

Ill keep my GL + supply pack, thanks. Triple the capacity and double refills is just too good to pass on. So what if I don't do jackshit to heavies? We have ~~stratagems~~ tryhards with ~~quasar~~ ~~recoilless~~ autocannons for that!

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't tried the grenade launcher / supply pack combo yet but it seems fun. I'll have to check it out. Honestly I don't use the Autocannon that much either. I'm an EAT man, myself.

This setup is so good. I love the GL. Been using the breaker, but I'm still trying to figure out the other elements in the setup.
