    Yeah, I feel like railgun was OP until they gave us other buffs like an EAT being able to one-shot a Charger.

        They would strip off the leg armor in one shot so you could then shoot the exposed leg with your primary weapon. The devs called it the “leg meta” and agreed that it didn’t really make sense for that to be a better strategy than just shooting it in the head.

          What REALLY doesn’t make sense is how shooting their exposed butt does basically nothing.

            It’s 3 shots with the auto cannon in the tail and they bleed out. Same thing can be done with a lot of the primary weapons, it just takes a good amount of shots. Even the sickle can do it after changing heat sinks a couple times, you just have to matador them.

              Explosives are the only way that is remotely ammo efficient. Half your primary ammo isn’t what I would call effective.

                I can take one down with a sickle without needing to change a heat sync once, you just have to patient.

                The new quasar cannon kills them in one shot to the face.

                  That’s not exactly feasible when you have to deal with all the other bugs that normally come with them.

                    And by other bugs you mean 4 other chargers and 3 bile titans. Playing on higher difficulties, effective anti tank is a must. We used to run 2x EAT, now we run 3x quasar since it has unlimited ammo and isn’t a pain to drop it all the time
