A Bullet for a Badman too hard?

[Dixa]

I'm struggling horribly on this one for easily more than three hours just today. The various strategies just aren't working for me.

I'll keep trying, but the bottom line is that if people just can't beat this (or don't have hours of playtime to spend trying) and it blocks them from continuing the main quest-line, then they'll be dropping out of the game quick.

This encounter would make more sense if it was a boss/challenge mob that was optional - a good challenge for those up to it, but not limiting progression for those who can't hack it.

i suck at shooters and figured it out on the first try. you can too. read this thread there are a lot of helpful tips. you may need to change your loadout or even respec your ego abilities. overcharge is great but cloak can be down to a 31s recharge by the time you hit this mission and it will save your bacon.

You can just shoot them until they fall down, then put a bullet into the pack so that they run for the tank when they get back up. It's a lot easier to do then trying to get behind them in a lot of cases.

not really

the smelters run up to you, stop and channel a flamethrower. sidestep or if you got hit roll out (rolling puts the flames out) and shoot them in the back.

Stop, drop, and roll, even works in games. Now just remember what Louie the Lightning bug says, and stay away from those power lines.

it doesnt allow groups in, just single player. One of the bad things IMO is making people solo stuff in an MMO, not that I ever seem to group anyways

If you think this is difficult I look forwards to the rage you're going to have over the end game boss.

That's the ridiculous part for this mission. It wouldn't be unbalanced if you could group it.

My problem is that the smelters die too darn easily.

this mission is POW-SCHTAKO!!

But I finally got passed it

Tried some of the tips presented here.. and I got to the flamer stage, but the aforementioned "ignore the shooters and they'll ignore you" was a bunk... they kept shooting my tail off. So looks like it is back to patrolling the streets again. Shame, I would love to progress at some point.

Just got to this boss for the first time and I had to change my weapons up to finish it took 3 times but finished it. I used a SAW and a shotgun/grenade launcher.
