I just found out that Praetorians can ALSO be Possessed...gaining a Missile launcher attack.

On a related note, I need new pants.

Unless I'm seeing things, I'm pretty sure shooting it's behind in general and underbelly does more significant damage. Front took much longer.

On a side note, these praetorians aren't as intimidating as they were in ME2 where they would do this screeching move that can insta-kill your entire squad and instantly refill its barriers. The horror......

I don't know if anyone has said this yet....

BUT

Aim for the two chest plates just below it's face. You'll notice they open and close every now and then. These can be shot off fairly easily, and the Praetorian normally takes a tumble when you do.

Beneath these plates you will find the Praetorian's collection of skulls. Aim for the skulls, and enjoy your extra damage.

I found the Particle Rifle with Incindiary Ammo IV takes them down relatively quick.

Yeah, just aim for the unarmoured parts which I think are white? As I already said, I believe the behind has vulnerable spots too.

Nothing tests the loyalty of your team members like a Praetorian.

I was playing a silver PUG match and all four of us ran into a Praetorian coming down the hallway of Dagger. I engaged like usual, but looked back when I noticed there weren't shots coming from anyone else and thought, "Guys?". Turned out, no one was there. They booked it, the bastards.

Where I should shoot? Anyone found a place it take more damage?

Why don't you go learn how to edit c.bin and find out? I could go looking through the file for you, but honestly I don't see why I should waste my time on that.


So you came into a thread solely to point out you have nothing to contribute to the topic. How about next time don't waste your time doing that?

This. It takes extra damage when shot in the skulls. It does NOT take extra damage if shot in the eyes or beak.

 After playing them last night I had flashbacks to (and I know, I'm dating myself with this one) Kelly's Heros.

Oddball's line about taking out Tiger tanks:  "A Tiger has only one weak point...that's its ****  You've got to hit it point blank and you've got to hit it from behind..."

Odd.  I figured the beak was its weak point because I got a comrade's "Nice shot!" statement after killing one by shooting it in the beak, meaning that would be the equivalent of its head.  I suppose that doesn't correspond necessarily to a weak point after all.

I used Tesla Rounds on them cause killing their barrier was very important plus I was working with a tech comber to nuke it up a tad with Tech bursts They hav ea few weak spots I think

The thorax seems to the be central one in the back if I recall what really has to be done is sombody has to either do their "File searchin" to find each "break point" like atlas has or the brutes amor plates but they don't cause spike dmg or their weak joints you call them spots but in technicality it's a point section of the body now there seems to be a few variety of fighting styles to them one is shotgun frenzy as a shotgun spread defaintly cn make the mark on nearly every pellet my turian ghost used the AT raider cloaked then used a power pack (as I dubed them) for quick finnish behind them prefrenced

So THAT'S how you get them to to that.  I've done it several times, but never really knew why.

This is it. It's been tricky to test because it's sort of hard to hit, but I'm pretty sure that area gives a slight damage boost when those plates come off.

Shoot it when it floats, it's easier that way plus if you're lucky enough he will crash down to the ground giving you precious seconds to take an early leave while it staggers up.
If it floats try to shoot its under belly, you won't regret it.

Shoot between the gaps in the 'mouth' and at the 'husk heads' on the inside.

Shoot between its eyes. I notice that even when it still has barriers that shooting it directly in the face continuously will eventually stagger the Praetorian. Also, it's butt end is also a weakpoint I noticed. Also, shooting in any non blue area will cause stagger eventually. Mainly shoot it in the face don't bother using any powers unless it is on the floor.

Well, it's big, it's an enemy, and it is crab-like, so like all giant enemy crabs, shoot the weak point for massive damage.
