I just beat Nim today as well and comparing to the threads of him being too hard, I just don't see it. It wasn't super easy I did die once but I self-revived and was fine from then on out. I got the feeling they nerfed him or I was just lucky.

It seems to be the sort of fight that convinces you it's harder than it really is. Play through the storyline again and you might have the skill built up to beat him without even getting downed.Quote:

Only first time is hard to kill it. Assuming you never did it before.
As any AI he's got patterns.
Once you learn them is as easier as any npc in this game.
Last time I killed it, for the 3rd time since release, I was running after him :) No BMG, just a shotgun.
Step 1: Just a VBI 0-2 Courier with roll. Like 5 min.
Step 2: Since he ( as they, the clones ) are always spawning North, just using an TAC AR to kill the clones, a piro nade to get him. Hiding behind a pillar, killing the clones, those you can see, from behind the pillar will do the trick.
Step 3. Same thing, the pillar. Just make sure to hide behind it, and be like 3m radius to avoid the aoe.
So overall, a 10-15 min job.
I finished Nim last night. Died 4 times only and I found the second phase of that fight really boring.
Don't understand why people have such problems with defeating him?
I'm 48 and play various types of games, MMO FPS etc and beat Nim 1st go on one character and 2nd go on another (vot fragger only, also used cloak)
My cousin plays and is also 48 but had the worst time ever trying to kill this guy. So funny hearing him shouting over the mic F*** F*** F***
Two days of trying he gave up and got his 13 year old son to do it for him. I'm still taking the P**s now :D
Never too old for that! :DQuote:

So please, for the sake of the OP and your other community members, S-T-F-U and stop spewing BS about something you know nothing about.
Another trick, ignore the clones. Pop a round at each one till you hear the crit, that's the real Nim, hit him hard, and him and all his clones disappear.Quote:

Not saying they did or didn't nerf him but asking for patch notes as proof is not fair - they make changes all the time with zero notes about what happened.Quote:
