    The devastator has received a significant change to its armour values since the video's publishing. The head's armour rating is now back to 1. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk

      Thank fuck they did, there are some amazing devvy killing weapons now.
      i find the marksman rifles have insane power against them, but there are some other options:
      the scythe is amazing too, with it's new scope and 0 recoil, it can melt devestator heads
      the tenderizer is also a very forgiving option, i've found that putting it on max RoF, and using burst fire gives the best results, it still has good recoil and feels a bit snappier than the scythe since it fires instantly.

    The railgun is extremely underrated, It oneshots devastators, reloads super fast, has very good handling and doesn't need a backpack.
    The HMG is also THE devastator counter but it's awkward handling make it hard to be mobile and agressive so I honestly prefer the MG over it, which still kills devastators extremely fast. AMR is also a really solid choice against them.
    Also the HMG emplacement stratagem is an absolute beast and completely overlooked by people, that thing even mulches Hulks.

    I really like devastators because of their design. They are an intimidating enemy for new players that don't get any stronger, just more numerous. How you go about killing one is based on your set up, but for low armor pen weapons the head torso and weapons are valid targets. A lot of people neglect disarming higher level bots. Devastators like many bots become non issues with their primary weapon removed. So if your having trouble with devastators engage from cover and remove their primary weapon and they are as good as dead. With out their guns they can only punch you and they are not fast enough to catch you. Disabling bots is a core part of their design. Many bots can have their threat level reduced to practically nothing far faster than simply killing them. Hulks tanks and factory striders can also be crippled to hilarious effect. Factory striders loose the majority of their killing power when their chin mounted MGs are destroyed. Most medium armor pen weapons can remove the guns in just a few shots. Compare a few shots to the several air strikes, orbitals and lives lost in the process of killing it. Disabling is always an option and depending on your situation is going to be faster or your only option, because you don't always have the luxury of a kill shot.

    • @G1beonGames
      @G1beonGames  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Well spoken! Disabling is always an effective option, especially when the player is less experienced with the game. A lot easier to hit an arm then a swaying head.

  • @Hysk1229
    @Hysk1229 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    as an avid bot player with plenty of hours facing them, I know of 2 good ways of dealing with devastators. the first is to carry a medium armor piercing primary like the dominator or slugger to break through the armored chest plate. both these weapons can break through normal and rocket devastator armor pretty easily but struggle a bit on heavy devastators. they have enough stun to keep them from firing and enough damage to deal one in in a few shots. the other option is to improve your aim. regardless of your weapon a shot or two to the head is going to kill any kind of devastator. it can be hard to get a lock on them when you're getting shot from every angle, but I've noticed that weapons like the sickle with high fire rate and low recoil can kill a devastator pretty quickly from close to mid range provided you can shoot the head. the main thing to keep in mind is that automatons have a feature called suppressing fire where they get less accurate when you're shooting at them. this can be a godsend against heavies because if you lie prone and gun them down they basically can't hit you outside of point blank. this might be hard to do if you're surrounded but if you manage to kite the enemies on you to one angle you can very easily deal with bigger swarms by standing your ground and shooting the face

      I haven't used the Sickle in a while, but I found the cone of spread made killing Dev heads at medium range and longer to take too long. The new abdomen weakspot seems like a better, larger target for ARs and the Sickle which performs much like an AR.

    Also don't forget the few weapons that are medium penetration ie: The adjudicator (if you can handle the recoil), The Dominator, the Scorcher, The explosive crossbow (can take out multiple devastators in 1 hit), The eruptor and the liberator penetrator (i think that got buffed) all ignore class 3 armour however they would experience that 33% reduction on some of them but the explosive ones deal enough damage to overcome this

    Adjudicator is the jack-of-all-trades primary that brings the B.A.R. back. It can even down Gunships (stick to semi-auto for those until your aim and recoil control improves). I run it with Senator on most level 10s, unless I feel like mixing things up and training new skills.
    HMG is the stratagem version of jack-of-all-trades. It’s not as crazy good as the railgun, but it CAN kill Factory Strider bellies and tank/turret rears very easily. And Arc Thrower just erases every bot that walks on two legs (making it situationally better than HMG).

    Th diligence counter sniper is a must for me. It allows you to surgically remove devastator heads, or just click spam them like they arent even armoured, while allowing you to clear any troopers with a single click. This works for me since i play with light armor and try to avoid patrols and play as stealthy as possible, so usually im the one ambushing them.

    @keenanstanley7440 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Counter sniper primary is my new go to for devastators and every other small enemy. The handling is better than most weapons imo and it only takes one shot to the head to kill it. If you have the patience to crouch and shoot for a couple seconds (with cover preferably), you can take out those annoying ass rocket devastators within a couple seconds. If aiming isn't your strong suit, bring the default shotgun. The stun is strong enough to stun all devastators (as far as I know from experience), meaning you can take them out without them being able to shoot you back. VERY useful for rocket or heavy devastators.
    TLDR: Counter sniper good if you like aiming for the head. Default shotgun good for stun, meaning they don't shoot back.

    Not mentioning railgun OR counter sniper is wild. Railgun 1-ahotting them to the body lets you just shred them, and counter sbiper makes the 1-tap breakpoint on thw head, not to mention I think 3 or 4 ahots to the body. 1-tapoing heads is the most important break point, because it means you can kill them before they notice you and start moving. It's also cool to just provide support to teammates from afar picking off all the devastators.

    Laser Cannon, MG-43, and Heavy Machine Gun are all incredibly effective Devastator lawn mowers, especially the Laser Cannon and just casually melting heads after it’s recoil was removed, trivializes Heavy Devs the moment you can see their eyes
    Another tip in a pinch is if you’re using weapons like the Diligences or Assault Rifles (Libby, Tendy, Judy, etc) you can disarm heavy Devastators to give you breathing room against multiple, and it effectively just turns them into Berserkers but slow and significantly worse melee capabilities

    To answer your question before the video starts in my completely subjective timeframe of clicking on it,
    What I know about devastators is that they are the weakest base model of the three, and as someone who only plays on 9 or higher, seeing them means one of those no good ATAT Knockoffs is nearby.

  • @democracydemocracy8026
    @democracydemocracy8026 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Someone already mentioned it, but the railgun is probably one of the best solutions, especially if you don't scope in. The game seems REALLY generous with headshots specifically on devastators. And even then you can just go for torso shots on safe mode for a clean one hit kill on non heavy devs. Something I don't think you mentioned is how effective range is. I mean yeah it's obvious in hind sight, but there's a real sharp contrast between getting shot at by a H.Devastator from 20 meters, and one form 60+ meters. Sure, not every laser or rocket will miss, but it's alot less likely to hit you if you're crouch/prone farther away, and railgun takes perfect advantage of that. Range is one of the best soft counters to Devastators.
    Another thing for teamwork/friends specifically is how much of an advantage flanking provides. If your buddy is getting shot at but you're not, it gives you plenty of easy to line up shots against Devastators. A H.Devastor's shield only protects it from the front, and if you get a side flank, those are easy torso shots with a railgun. If you see your friends are getting blasted, hit the Automatons from the side. They'll either turn to engage you which removes suppression from team mates OR they'll ignore you, letting you chain snipe them into oblivion. Hell, even Hulks are weak to this, as when they try to focus down a target (obliterator/bruiser) or bull rush it (scorcher), you can shoot their legs if they're facing a 90 degree angle away from you to cripple their speed, and kill them if you keep attacking the legs.

    Second comment but iirc, the Devastator’s head armor was increased due to the buffs to the Liberator, which gave it an extra magazine and 70 damage, so they increased the breakpoint by increasing armor value so the Tenderizer didn’t get outshined by a another gun with low recoil, but generous ammo economy and a higher fire rate with comparative damage on weaknesses points

    okay so hear me out..
    the (ballistic) guard dog. i feel like its been REALLY slept on, even after its updates (fully filling from a resupply, and getting a large portion of ammo back from small pickups on the map). i think a lot of people favor the rover over it because of its tendency to just not stop shooting. however, this has been acknowledged and will be fixed in the future so may as well get used to guard dog downtime now anyway. the ballistic one also has a MUCH lower tendency to kill you and other divers, and it also feels like moving and bobbing around affects its aim way less. you will have goofy moments where its shooting a fab or a heavy devastator shield, but about half as often or more my guard dog will instantly kill devastators with a swift shot in the head. it also lets you run lower fire rate weapons (like the plasma punisher or the crossbow) since it can effectively remove infantry units from even being a thought in your head.
    give it an honest try!

    One pro-tip.
    If a Heavy Devestator shoots at you, shoot at him, Automotons can uniquely be suppressed, in the case of the heavy devestator, it will make them highly innaccurate. It won't prevent them from headshotting you, but it will make it less likely.

    if using a weapon with high stagger, like the pummeler especially aiming for a non lethal part of the devastator will still stunlock it if you get a full hit, aiming for the rocket pack is a good idea to quickly stunlock a group of devastators and make them easy pickings for your friends

    I think this has missed the most important point - all devastators can kill you or ragdoll then kill you if you are standing still in their sight for more than 3 seconds.
    Therefore the important reflexes are - if there's one who's got line of sight to you, shoot it to stagger it then kill it, and if there's more than one with LOS to you, DIVE, get to cover, then deal with them one by one. (Or use a suitable grenade or grenade pistol shot THEN dive, but the most important things is - NEVER deal with a group of devastators in a facetanking competition. The more important thing to know is to keep yourself alive over "how to kill a devastator".
    Other than that, a surprisingly good option to take is shooting the legs - AC 2 and lethal, so even with 500 HP taking out a leg from round a corner is surprisingly effective.

    devastators' legs are also a weak spot (not in the mechanical sense of receiving extra damage, but they're easy to hit and if you destroy a leg the bot dies). the AMR can kill devs in 2 shots to the leg, and if a heavy devastator is facing you their shield doesn't cover their right leg. i also like to bring the machine gun sentry because it can handle entire patrols (less hulks) by itself and its cooldown is short enough to be used in basically every fight

    The single best tool to deal with those things is the Diligence. And no, I don't mean it's slightly heavier son, the Counter Sniper. The base Diligence boasts significantly better handling and WAY more ammo while still one-shot-headshotting any and all devastators (Which means their heads have to AV1 because they have 100hp and the Diligence does 165 damage). You can take out dozens of those vile tin cans in mere seconds! Just be a little mindful of positioning and try to use at least a bit of your brain and it'll make the autocannon look like a throwing knife in (this specific) comparison.

      used to be my go to before the dcs was buffed to one shot, but now i'm too used to the sluggishness of the dcs and can't give up that 3 shot to the hip on the walkers. (Also the damage vs gunships and hulk heatsinks is pretty nice)

    Hear me out; The grenade launcher. Not the pistol, the stratagem. Ive used it tons of times on the bots, it 2 shots on average and stuns any devastator in its blast radius meaning you can spam it at entire hordes, and then the entire horde is gone in seconds. It can also one shot striders, and if you're good enough you can kill the laser only tanks, and hulks if you land grenades between their legs so the splash damage hits the vents, or just directly hit the vents from behind. Its underrated as hell, and with it i have no issue wiping entire swarms of bots on my own.

    (me complaining about heavy devys) I love how the devs were talking about adding an overheat mechanic to the heavy devastator and then they just didnt add it at all
    The heavy devastator borders between being stupidly op and then also the game considers them as chaff and spams like 4+ every patrol
    Why can a heavy devastator tank a buffed quasar round to the shield? I tested it and it takes about 3 shors to kill a heavy devastator to the shield. "Oh but why are you shooting the shield thats kinda stupid" ITS A CHAFF UNIT AN ANTI TANK WEAPON SHOULD BE ABLE TO 1 TAP IT REGARDLESS OF WHERE IM SHOOTING IT
    Why is the shield somehow more tanky then the armour of a hulk (hulks feel more fair to face against except for the bruiser with its command bunker turret arm)

    I disagree, the rocket pods break quickly, are easy to hit, and dramatically reduce the range and ragdoll advantages rocket devastators have. if they aren't looking right at you, no headshot or abdomen shot, it's a great way to help your friends. And thanks for the tips! I hate devastators.
