There are too many threads to sticky.  If somebody actually made a good consolidated thread, they'd probably be will to sticky it.  Bryan tried a few months ago, but it didn't really work out.


There is a Guide of Guides floating around somewhere here. It's mostly focused on class guides, but there's still a lot of good stuff there to make it worthy of stickification.

Since you won't sticky informational threads, be prepared to deal with them being bumped constantly.

We really just need one thread that links to all of these threads that offer info.
Not a thread that asks for random advice.


If somebody consolidated all the worthy links in Bryan's thread into a single organized post, I bet it would get stickied.

As far as I'm aware they don't, but it's possible they have a double hit spot.

Sorry for the noobish question, but what are double hit spots?

Yeah I would second this. I definitely seem to notice inconsistencies in the damage they take from, say, a Javelin.

Definitely, I just thought they were buggy, but a double hit spot would seem a likely answer.

From a lot of solo play vs. Geth using the Javelin, I believe they just have a goofy hitbox, I've never seen them take partial damage (except when they'd obviously just spawned.)

I am willing to do this. Actually had thought about trying to do that before, compiling one organized/updated list of links to all the relevant good-info threads.

I'll start pooling links together and, in the meantime, will message Raen to see what the requirements there are to be considered for a sticky.

That's very noble of you.
You know I'd do it, but I ain't gonna.

i think a double hit spot is likely assometimes i only strip the sheilds when hitting it dead on  and the next time i just about 1 shot the thing with a less central shot .

Some enemies have spots where, from a certain angle, a gun with enough armor piercing distance (innate, mod or ammo) could pierce right through and hit another part of their body, counting as multiple hits.

The easiest example is one already given in the OP. Shoot a Geth Pyro in the head from the front and slightly to the right, and you can pierce through the head to hit the fuel tank.

I suspect bombers have double hit spots (along their length), and sketchy hitboxes. I've missed them before in strange circumstances while hosting.

Geth Bombers defy all reason and logic.

Question

I thought I read/heard somewhere a while ago that Banshees have no special damage multiplier when shot in the head (meaning that aiming for their head does no extra damage). Is that true? Is there proof anywhere one way or another?

Pretty sure Brute/Banshees don't count for headshots.

Have you guys never hit a Banshee in the head with a Javelin?

I don't snipe. Only sniper I ever used was the Raptor. Can't stand the slow fire-rates. Do headshots count for bonus damage outside of sniper rounds?

Yes, but the more powerful the weapon the easier it is to see the results. All bosses have a 1.4x damage modifier from headshots.

Not the Atlas or Geth Prime. and I'm really sure the Banshee, too.

Both Atlas and Geth Primes get a 1.4x damage modifier. You may be remembering way back when they took away boss headshots. They returned them and changed the Atlas headshot spot to the rear vent.

They fixed that? Oh, didn't know that.
