They definitely nerfed the rockets themselves, too--they'll still one-tap you if they hit you directly, but the splash damage seems to have gone down a lot, so near-misses rarely kill from impact damage
After around 55 hours I decided to finally fight against Automatons (Been a bit of Bug Main). And.. well playing on Difficulty 6 to get to know them. They force the Player to the more traditional FPS controls. Meaning, duck and cover, shoot when save. Like to use the Spear against them, but then again I like to use the Spear anyways.
They are less of a swarm and more of a chaotic fight for advantageous positions, more tactical. They are also weak to completely different kinds of weapons and stratagems and speed is less important. Hint: running away and kiting is less useful because they will shoot you and are faster than the bugs. Their accuracy gets much worse if you shoot at them. As a noob bugs are more fun. Then I liked the bots more until the scout striders became a thing. The bots are just more spectacle and cooler to look at, with more stuff happening. Between the fire, the lasers, the reinforcements ships that can be shot down, the massive strider, the way to lose parts and explode when you kill them, the tanks shooting missiles, the autocannon being one if the best weapons against them, the way cooler heavy and medium armors being the most useful, the way accuracy is rewarded as you can one shot most of them with a single headshot and even hulks being weak in the eye etc... just makes them so cool. Especially at night during big fights. Automatons are awesome. Just... Get used to the ragdoll.
Crossbow, grenade pistol, erupter, purifier, the plasma pistol and the scorcher all can land headshots if you actually hit thier face. It's just they have certain trajectories you need to factor to hit the face
Isn’t it great that you can decided what type of enemies you want to fight?! Play however you and whatever your comfortable with. Always fight for Super Earth
Imo the new sniper is cool but they should either A give it higher damage, (medium pen explosive and not one tapping devastators is insane) or B leave it as is but give it the same ammo as the AMR (8 I believe??) bc 3 ain’t cutting it; definitely needs a tweak but glad they’re always adding stuff
"Strider rocket attacks are more telegraphed. So, you know when there about to fire it." *Completely misses the warning and gets rag dolled by Striders Rocket attack. *
Yeah the plasma ''sniper'' need something alright, it needs to get rid of that horrible charge up mechanic Feels awefull to shoot, slow and clunky, 1/10

The rockets rarely kill you directly, it’s the ragdoll, and it’s still the same.

@LuthfiRafsanjani 😩 I was talking about fighting. Light Armor doesn't do much during a fight. Their aim isn't worse if you sprint faster.

It's the ragdolling into oblivion that upsets me about the rocket striders, not their lethality
I don't like ragdolling around but I'd rather that than being deleted all of a sudden even while wearing heavy armor.

What do you mean you can't headshot with plasma weapons, I can get headshots easily with the purifier.
