This was tested on gold, done with Widow I (Extended  clip V and extended barrel V), just my own results trialled multiple times costing my random team countless credits and exp and got me a few rage mails :lol:

Atlas:
Pilot seat: 3-4  --is a possible glitch damage increase (it takes more damage then is meant to)-- 
Rocket or lascannon arm: 2
Legs: 2
Back/exhaust fan: 3 
Note: Hitting from the front, aiming for the pilot seat (orange part) offers best results. On average 6-7 shots to kill. Take extended clip if on gold. will come in handy if two spawn up together and not enough time to get to ammo crate.
Does have certain area's that damage spike if hit, they are: shoulder plates, groin plates and knee plates. 
--Updated 1st of May-- 


Prime: 
Red eye: 4  --The perfect head shots are a damage glitch (it takes more then it is meant to)-- 
Chest: 3
Back: 3
Arms: 2-3
Legs: 2-3
Note: You must hit the red eye from the front for maximum damage and best opportunity, becareful of stagger, can cause missed shots (head rears back). CAN be killed in 4 perfect shots. 
--Updated 1st of May--


Banshee:
Head: 2
Chest/breast: 2-3 --(is being re evaluated because of doubts raised by BW)--
Back: 2
Belly: 2
Arms: 1-2
Legs 1-2
Note: The barrier drops much quicker then the armour no matter where you aim. Same as above try to take on head on. Will drop people if it takes approx 4-5 blocks of damage in one hit (more likely if barrier is down), will not happen 100% of the time.  Also be weary of the Hadouken style attack, it will home and drain your shield/barrier in one hit, if you see it find something to hide behind immediately.
--Updated 1st May--


Additional notes: Did this with QI, to improve your survivability you can skip part of the reload animation. Once it says one in the chamber activate cloak to skip the rest of the animation (Saving you half a second) and be able to zoom in and fire second shot. :D


--Additional notes 1st of May--
All big units have had a health/armour buff since recorded, I have updated some of the notes accordingly.
Will have to do a little more checking before updating rest.

You did better damage on a banshee by shooting the chest rather than the head? That's just plain counter-intuitive! Thanks, I'll keep that info in mind. Even though I'm not infiltrator, it'll come in handy.

odds are they're the people who are going to be seeing this info now that you've got revealed these weaknesses. The Banshee is a hard one, mainly because I've had the whole "shoot it in the head for maximum damage" thing drilled into me from years of heavy gaming :P

So you do more damage to the Banshee if you shoot her in the ******, rather than the head?

LOL.

Good to see you possess such knowledge. 







So where are those 2 weaker points?

Glowing exhaust on the back of the Atlas seems to take extra damage.

The Ravager is pretty simple, aim for the blue light on the front knocks off 4-6. The Brute I still been testing it is harder to get it to stand still then a banshee :whistle:

EDIT: As for the bloated stomach, in silver you can knock off 4 bars, the head is still pretty tough though.

Brute wise, with no real trial I've found the left less armoured arm seems to deal better damage.
Everything else seems heavily protected.

Wondering if this all is to do with reapers being hybrid tech.
Their heads are not exactly needed.

Good to know! Although I have to say that the banshee mostly moves too quickly for me to do anything but quick scope it. When it stops though I usually aimed at the biggest spot (belly).

Nah, not just there. Smaller pilot cabin windows actually nets more damage. Tested it with widow + infil build, while Atlas was taking 5 bar damage while aiming for the "big window", it was taking 7-8 bars if I shot those smaller windows.

As seen here you kill a Banshee quickly by shooting it in the belly NOT in the chest/breast, you also kill it quickly with headshots, but the belly is an easier, bigger and more stable target.:ph34r:

If you want to kill Banshee's extremely quick just time your shots/abilities for when they begin doing their biotic jumps (when they're teleporting short distances towards you repeatedly). Not sure on the exact numbers but there's definitely a damage multiplier that's taken into effect while their in this animation.

Not sure if I understand where you're referring to and I'd certainly like to test more.

Are you talking about the 2 smaller windows to the bottom left/right of the main cockpit window?

This made me chuckle.  Nice to see another 40k person around.

Rated 5. Useful thread, didn't know the banshee and the atlas side window ones.
