Shoot em in the nuts

I remember this thread. I have seen reactions from all enemies concerning these weak points except from Atlas's and to an extent Banshees...Atlas's especially seem to just keep walking forward no matter how much damage they take on. I haven't seen them react to those weak points unless i hit them with some sort of fire/ice explosion. Banshees will react by putting their hands up, but even with them, i've seen them warp forward even tho i'm hitting them in the stomach and unleashing head shots...


It probably is working as intended, but i guess it could be just the game mechanics/mannerisms overall.

The Atlas kneecaps and shoulder blades fly off after a certain amount of damage and they'll get staggered. You need keep hitting them, though.

You'll do even more damage if you shoot it in the fart box. 

This is just so awesome on so many levels! Gods, I <3 this game.

This is right. Lower canopy sliver of window does a ton of damage. Shooting the plates off them does decent damage and it does stagger but not multi hits. Scion sack rupture does more damage I believe than just a simple head shot. You can usually hit both though.

Doesn't matter who / what they are. Just shoot either ends. I read somewhere the devs recommend shooting banshees in the belly so I often do that.
