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.

    Any med pen gun will take out the shield, then 3 shots to the eye with the railgun and it goes down consistently for me.

      I’ll give it a …shot.

      I had a lot of fun with anti-tank emplacement. Cooldown seems reasonable enough to have one when I need it. Placing them on elevated territory really give good command of an area, too.
