Apex Infected Hulkers

[ConcreteSnake]

Where can I get kills for these? Kenn Farm only? They never die there

Look at the thread about 4 threads down. What support said.

Well since they are "infected" hunkers, the only place I know of is kenn farms incursions. I am on xbox na and have got all of mine at kenn farms, it just takes some time. The ones that are giving me some trouble are formidable tankers. Me and some clanmates try kiting them out to the perimeter of arkbreak/WM and have had some success but man, are they tough with just a few players.

That's how I got majority of my tankers. As soon as they spawn in would just run around the arkbreak and tag all I see to get the credit. Then start killing em. Although it is a whole lot easier with more players than not. As far as the hulkers go I have noticed that the quicker the stragglers from the side spawns are dealt with the quicker they will spawn and give a lil more time for everyone to focus fire to kill em

If you concentrate as many people as possible at one spawn point and focus fire on them when they appear, you can bring one or maybe even both down before next stage triggers. Avoid weapons doing AoE, since other infected killed by collateral damage hastens stage completion. So no explosives, BMGs or infectors apart from cankers.

But getting people to work together in Defiance is harder than herding cats... without using olives.

You can get Tankers pretty easily with a little group by doing a regular Raider minor Arkfall with a crystal but not breaking the crystal.

For the Formidable Minigunners/Grenadiers just get a group of 4 players roughly 5000 ego or so and drive between Mt Tam South And East Radio Tower. You can get all 25 within an hour.

The hulkers need to be sorted out. Either make it so they turn up at the start of a stage so you have a chance of killing them, or so the stage will not end until one is dead. At the moment it is nigh on impossible to kill ANY hulker (let alone two of them) when they show up at Kenn Farm. Plus it's not because the players suck or don't know what they are doing. I've seen 20+ people prepared for them spawning, throwing down damage spikes when they appear and not using AOE weapons and they still vanish without dying. Usually because there are just too many people running around like headless chickens killing random enemies. Even using the zone chat to ask EVERYONE to concentrate on hulkers brings no joy. I'm on Xbox EU servers by the way.

I had some joy in the first week the DLC was out, and got 10/25 hulkers done, but over the weekend I must have done 7/8 Kenn Farm instances and didn't even get ONE more hulker kill. It's a joke as I've long since done ALL of the other apex/formidable kills for that pursuit.

Of course the better option would be to make it so ALL hulkers counted (not just the Kenn Farm ones) as I've probably done way more than 25 on Explosions 101 alone, as having to perpetually run through that map when Dekuso inevitably glitches is fun. Same with the two hulkers at the end of Soleptor - killed them a bunch of times too.

Not saying to make this a gimme - but the sheer number of people at Kenn Farm makes this almost a case of luck rather than skill right now.

They do. Done it, it is actually easier without a zerg. As zerg usually just keeps on killing anything. If you are there with just 12-20 people you can focus those hulkers and kill them.
