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 5 months ago

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 5 months ago

Same for Quasar.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

The autocannon ricochet update is useful for something!

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I had been doing it well before the ricochet update.

[-] Muzugu@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

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

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Eruptor can take it easily in one shot even if you're 45 degrees off to the side.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months 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 5 months ago

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

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

3 shots to the tail and they bleed out.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

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

[-] aesopjah@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months 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 5 months 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.

[-] jackhp95@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.
