Armor - Does anything work well against it?

I do it like this;

Death by Turbo Charged Thokin.

for fiends my favourite manoeuvre is jet pack backwards/sideways whilst pumping rounds into its face from the talon so long as you don't have the sight fitted it does better damage than the shotguns although it takes longer to reload and this game has no reload cancelling ..... in fact anything you do after starting the reload leaves you back at needing to reload... no idea why you cant jetpack and reload I mean you can sprint and reload in real life .....

I guess all those console scrubs couldn't figure out how to reload cancel so bioware made it impossible to achieve for the master race as well ...


for the ascendant you need all your powers coolded down or a full supply of nades so you can spam that shit the second you drop his shield if you time it right you can take him out in one go, unless your spamming ops pack to insta reload your gun ......so many times though that fucker just teleports halfway across the map and appears midway through doing the insta kill animation just to screw with you......

btw my fav kill so far has to be remnants on silver wave 6 final objective twin destroyers half a dozen other stuff all pops in the hallway ontop of the objective, I poped an rpg up and boom dropped everything ressed the poor sap who had almost finished the objective finished it off myself and then proceeded to kill the last 2 mooks,

oh and I don't know if your aware but the destroyers can insta kill you they even use the exact same red bubble of death the ascendant does only they don't trap you inside theirs and just like the fiend it reaches through floors so if your not aware your stood above one it makes for a very bad day

Trip mines seems to be pretty effective.

Vanquisher combined with the almighty Turbo power

Weapon receiver mods have armour penetration but how effective I couldn't say at this point.

Does the fiend have a weak spot like the destroyer?
When the destroyer uses its middle beam attack it opens up in its chest and you can kill them really easily if you shoot there...

Was wondering if those fleshy gill looking patches on the back of fiend are a weak spot?
...
Otherwise I just cobra them because they are too risky to let hulk around

In my experience nothing like ME3, we need something...there are weak points and I try to focus on them but holy smokes it's slow going....Need my Typhoon

Yeah, I noticed that. 

I also found that I can take out Nullifiers pretty fast using inc ammo and spamming both of my powers for FEs.  Using an Equalizer to keep priming.

Doesnt't it actually say cover penetration on the reciever mods? Or does it actually say armor penetration? I've been sceptical about if those mods actually help against armor or just help you shoot through cover.

Any part that's red or wet.

I kill (or rather: damage) stuff with the blue biotic shield when I don't melee enemies. That's how bad the guns are. Sometimes I shoot the Katana I because the store decided to only level up the charger and Predator for me.

Yea, it isn't effective against armor.  Tried mine both high levels.  No appreciable difference.

It will let you shoot through certain walls, etc.

No worries, I thought the same thing when I first unlocked them.  I have one at level X and another at level VII.

But sadly, it had no noticeable effect on Armor.

I could very well be the intention of the mod and it is just broken ATM.
