What gets you killed the most in Defiance?

Other than PvP, the thing that kills me the most and quickest is blastpods. Those damn things do 75% of my 17xx shield per shot.. the thing is they fire 3 shots and there's often 4 or 5 of them around at a time. Ark fall alone in waves that include blastpods... most of the time you'll be running in circles killing them and doing no damage to the crystal.
Another normal (non-bug) thing which kills me is those players who run tankers toward you from behind while you are shooting something else. That or the tanker is shooting them and they come and stand next to you. Thanks guy!
Other than that, re-re-reloading (bug) causes serious issues. Measuring that you will just about survive if you reload now and shoot immediately .. only to have your re-load repeat and consequently your estimate was wrong, you die.

TO stop the reload bug, just switch weapons...

What kills me the most is losing all my health :)

Permanently invisible players in PvP. Players I can't kill because the game hasn't loaded their head and I can't do damage to them at all...even though I can clearly see everything else. Huge 99er/Raider mobs with a hp boost because there are players nearby not doing anything

Bulwarks. **** those things.

Random giant exlosions that 1 hit me at scrapper arkfalls....****ing annoying.

And.......I forget what i was gonna say.....hmmmmm....but I will go with the reload bug as well...i hate it

Reload bug gets me killed the most. I go in with my assault rifle and should be able to take them out, dodge a little, take out some more, reload and then rinse and repeat, however it gets to the point where you're stuck in a loop of reloads while machine gun fire hits you from all angles and then bam, dead.

It's like every time the reload loop starts, you freeze in spot and get gibbed by machine guns.

This game has taught me I'm too old to play these games anymore. I haven't got the patience to go four levels with a boss (the 2nd one) and the game stops without it. It was fun.

dark matter bulwarks and their homing rapid-fire missles who's explosions clip through terrain and still do full damage from the other side of the wall i jumped over...

:p Mah big mouth!! ;)

my own explosions lol i never learn

Blast Pods and the annoying random explosions during ark falls.

dark matter snipers that are so far away they don't render BUT THEY CAN STILL SHOOT ME!!!!!!!!!

As much as I hate to admit this.. you know the huge MECHADOOM thing at the bridge ..I was convinced I could kill it... solo... give an A+ for arrogance?

Usuallly it's fightling large amounts of humanoids all at once, and getting overrun. 'z pretty annoying being pushed back constantly by armed enemies that don't get killed fast enough.

Those damn Dark Matter Robots whenever i face off against them always almost **** me, have to play a cat and mouse game to deal with them lol

My pyro grenades.

I'm happy to see I wasn't the only one who thought that when I first started playing. XD

It does help a bit. Thank you.

Bulwarks 10%, Dark Matter Snipers 30%, My own Grenade 60%.

lol.

Blast Pods.

Why am I the only guy who kills these things.

As the Hellbugs are evolving then Arkfalls are becoming more dangerous affairs.

You roll up as the first on the scene for an arkfall and you've got Hellbug Waves to deal with that are throwing 8 blastpods mortoring you while Shock Archers spit at you and Fire Soldiers set you alight.

Get the entire server ganging up for the final arkfall and you're laughing.

If only half or less of them show up then the Major Arkfall is a much tougher affair since the enemies start to target you and the elemental damage can really knack your character.

In PvP the thing that kills me the most? Four-Wheelers in shadow wars.. the number of times I have been run over.. nightmares.
In PvE the thing that kills me the most? My own Grenades.. I forget the camera is not where my character is, will peek around a corner, and throw my frag.. right into the wall in front of me.. sadly, I have a high damage grenade and a Respark (low capacity, fast charge) shield.. = insta-death

I'd have to go with Bulwarks. I die at least 4+ times before I finally kill it. All raiders are next tied with 99ers (blacklungs specifically with their giant blast radius and perfect aim, kind of like the raider molotovs, but having the others around doesn't help.) and then blastpods, but not too often because those are always my immediate targets.

There are perks that'll save your life from 4 wheeler death, but I'm not wasting a slot on them. The Reaper is gonna cause havoc.

Infectors plus a Sniper Rifle will clear out 99ers and Blacklungs pretty quickly. Headshots are usually one shot kills on any 99er except Blacklungs, but they do a lot of damage to them. Infectors will make him stumble quite often, and killing a few 99ers with it will clear the rest of them out pretty quickly.

90 percent of the time my own stupidity

Blastpods.
Multiple raiders that won't die, and mob up on ya.

People who have a crew run a misson on the DM roadblocks while I'm sniping them.
You see me sniping, is it so hard to give me a heads up?

My favorite is running up under a monarch with a SAW and shotgun and seeing how long I can stay there blazing up at him.

nothing game is too easy

This! Thinking I'm a badass, running in guns blazing, not giving one single f***. :cool:

I've had the game for 2 weeks and I still have not broken myself of this habit. Damn you WoW for giving me a false sense of awesome!

Yep, mostly blastpods here. Usually when I'm distracted taking out archers and warriors and don't realize that 6-8 pods have spawned and insta-launched with me as their aggro target. Happens less now than it did before I learned to keep my head on a swivel more.

After that, probably my own carelessness vs Dark Matter, which I made a habit of underestimating for a while. Then surprise spawn scale-ups due to not realizing other players have shown up/were out of range AFK near the area I was working. Usually tankers or blacklungs in that case.

I don't pvp and haven't really been hit by the reloading bug, so I can't blame any on those. And most of the above is happening a lot less now, whereas my deaths to the flying Hellion have increased slightly, due to the fact I seem to be holding a lot more aggro off him with my current arkfall approach.

Curiosity usually.

In the short time i fought them the rogue e-rep soldiers were killing me left and right

Yeah this for me.. Either my own nade or my ground pounder, lol.

Hulker farming/getting caught in a narrow apace and being freight trained 2-3 times in a row if he takes a funky angle.

The first tramplling is easy to survive unless it registers as multiple hits.

The second trampling will usually kill me without defensive perks and a strong shield. For XP farming, I'm pretty much glass.

The third trampling is just for good measure as The Hulk imprints his size 50 footprint upon my skull.

Going into my inventory to switch loadouts or responding to people. I tend not to care ...180 scrip worse case scenario. Had hopes for an open world pvp server.

Bulwarks, DM Monitors in groups of 3, and like everyone else, blastpods.
