must be a PC thing, Im still pausing phantoms with powers and headshotting them with BWs just fine. Perhaps your using the wrong mods/gear/equip when your fighting them. (Thinking APRs) Which do nothing to help with phantoms. Warp ammo IV with Targeting VI III and IV with BW usually drops them low enough to ragdoll them with an ability.
On console you get like half a second to line up a headshot. On PC Phantoms rail you right after the flip and sometimes even mid-flip.
You say that as if there were a difference. They were the "same way" on PC as they are on xbox, I played ceberus (off host) when I played on PC and
realized you guys have it easier than bronze on gold because of point and click and being able to run without stopping, its like everyone is playing on host on PC, erhem, headshoted them in the same manner I do on Xbox.
Use power, cause them to pause, headshot headshot headshot, still not dead? use incapacitating power like throw, concussion shot, lift grenade w/e because usually if they aren't dead they are in red bar.
Phantoms are some of the easiest units in the game, use powers on them, they will ALWAYS REACT either with bubble (100% of the time when they are in cover) or flips. For a long time I never played on host, when I did I was so wowed by how much smoother the game was I didn't even notice phantom DR.
You don't notice it unless your not shooting them in the head, or are using the wrong strategy to drop them.There is no class in the game that doesn't have a simple way of dealing with phantoms besides INFs, and then you can't count that either because even with DR, a headshot with the right gun/mods/Tac Cloak still 1 shots them.
