Has anyone else had issue with nigh invincible harvesters marauding through all manner of bombardment? Shield down, I’ve seen them take every orbital and eagle without being destroyed. Not all at once, mind, but I have seen them take more than a factory strider and walk it off without even losing a shield antennae.

I’ve bullseyed one with a RR rocket and a full commando and they kept coming.

Any tips? I know the legs are a weakpoint but I don’t seem to be hitting the right places. Laser cannon is the only reliable weapon I’ve found but requires multiple cooldown periods to fully cook one which is just too much time.

    Only been on lower difficulty but concussive liberator is decent. Gets space with the hordes and cc for the not-elites.

      Brilliant! That sounds like just what I have been looking for. Can it take out a shield in one clip?

        Ship shield? Yeah if you hit the orb thing. Illuminate hand shield? Not sure haven’t tried.

          Yes that’s what I meant, thank you. Can’t wait to try this tonight.
