This happened last night. I had read how Flamethrowers were super strong right now at melting Chargers and dealing with swarms of bugs. Everything was going great until Bile Titans showed up.

Turns out , Eagle Airstrikes don't do much against them. I had brought a Autocannon Sentry with me, but that thing has a looooong cooldown when you're being chased by multiple Bile Titans.

500kg bomb works wonders against them.

500kg works wonders on everything

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Unless it doesn’t? Crazy inconsistent

Except on a Tinder dating profile.

[-] ArachnidMania@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Then it’s carbon dating

[-] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

it doesn't help that the known issues now list "bile titans sometimes just don't take damage." Explains...a lot actually

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

What's the strategy for taking down a bile titan with an EAT? I always aim for the head, but it always takes multiple shots. Is it just my aim, or is there somewhere else I should be shooting at?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think two shots to the head can do the trick. I've seen stuff that mentions shooting before they spit is two shots, but after they spit is four shots. Not sure if there's any truth to that though.

Edit: Also worth pointing out that you can shoot their bile sack on the underside of their tail, which will prevent them.from spitting.

[-] Risk@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

It has to be two shots to the forehead - mouth won't work. Doesn't matter if they've already spit.

[-] domdanial@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

Since we had 3 titans at extraction... I'm going to remember the bile sack trick.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I've heard some people actually don't shoot them in the bile sack (lol) if there's a bunch of them. Their spit has friendly fire, so you can actually get them to kill each other... assuming you also survive.

[-] domdanial@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

If only I would be so lucky for them to friendly fire. Often times the only thing keeping me alive is my 50%-chance-to-not-die armor lol.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Love when there's a horde behind me and the titan just absolutely cleans them up. Like thanks bro, still gotta kill you though.

[-] Charadon@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago

On the bot front, it's this, but with gunships instead of bile titans lmao

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I haven't tried it on bots. I suppose I should give it a shot, but seems dangerous getting close to a lot of them.

[-] Charadon@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

EAT is great against bots, especially on the heavy units like the Tank, Gunships, and Hulks

With the recent patch, primaries are actually able to deal with the light and medium armor guys now, so no more wasting EATs on Heavy Devastators too! (I just shoot their gun off with my primary)

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Oh sorry, I was referring to Flamethrowers.

[-] Charadon@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 week ago

Flamethrowers can be pretty good at choke points, but it's situational

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

The new Orbital Precision strike takes down Titans so easily. 2 second call in time, 90s recharge. Try it!

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

New???

Did they improve it or did I miss a new strategem get released?

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Massively improved it. Took like 5 seconds off the call in time and lowered the cooldown a bit more

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I'll give this a shot again!

Goes perfect with the stalwart.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago

And the Stalwart is surprisingly nice now with more than double the durable part damage vs what it was before... Pairs nicely with the Eruptor

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

That’s my exact loadout lately

[-] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

It's a nice general purpose "bonk that thing" button!

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah last night I was running a flame thrower with the OPS and 500kg. Definitely helped with the big guys.

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

It takes like seven shots, but you can kill a bile titan with an arc thrower.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

That not nearly as much as I was expecting.
