In the small arkfalls in the Major Scrapper Arkfall, the main arkcore that is majorly shielded by the others can currently be damaged by explosive weapons. I was using a Ground Pounder at the time to sticky up the major Scrapper-bot when I accidently blew up the major central part. Uh, this shouldn't be possible to damage the shielded part before taking out the minor arknodes around it.
Might wanna fix that.
Yeah, it still works. I don't think you can damage it with normal weapons, and I don't think my grenade worked either, but I'm sure the Ground Pounder works great for getting through the shield. I might break out my explosive shotgun, and the mirv'ing rocket launcher to try those next.
If I remember correctly, that is a requirement for that arkfall? Doesn't your EGO say "I've located advanced weaponry nearby. We should investigate." It does a lot more damage then normal weapons. Not sure if this is the same arkfall or not but doesn't sound like a glitch. Why else would a a ground pounder be available to you? You are talking about the weapon that shields you and your can heavy melee stuff but depletes it's charge right?
No, that's MINOR arkfalls. This is the shielded MAJOR scrapper Arkfall cores you have to blow up with conventional weapons. There are unshielded nodes, and you're supposed to blow them up in order, but if you use ANY explosive weapon right now against the main shielded core for each minor scrapper arkfall in a MAJOR arkfall, you can blow up the center to remove the core to get to the end of the Major Arkfall quickly.
And I tried both Grenades and my 808 Damage combat shotgun that shoots explosive bombs, and those will damage the central shielded core easily, even though normal weapons will not damage it at all. So normal guns, SMGS, ARs, shotguns, LMGs, pistols, none work, but if it explodes, it works.
No, a ground pounder is a type of grenade launcher you can loot/buy.Originally Posted by neko_gunner
Oh my, I was a bit tired when posting this...yes this is bugged. Also, you mean the detonator weapon type right? I'm guessing the ground pounder is a nick name. :-P
I was playing this mission last night with my buddy and he can damage them in this same fashion. I've been able to do damage with my assault rifles in the past if I believe as well. Do they seem to take the same damage as the unshielded ones or the same to you guys?
I really hope they fix this, it takes the fun out of it...........
You can damage any of the shielded crystals with an explosive weapon. Including the core crystal in the middle. This bug's has been around for quite a while now. Trion's ignoring the game breaking issues as usual.
