      They would strip off the leg armor in one shot so you could then shoot the exposed leg with your primary weapon. The devs called it the “leg meta” and agreed that it didn’t really make sense for that to be a better strategy than just shooting it in the head.

        What REALLY doesn’t make sense is how shooting their exposed butt does basically nothing.

          It’s 3 shots with the auto cannon in the tail and they bleed out. Same thing can be done with a lot of the primary weapons, it just takes a good amount of shots. Even the sickle can do it after changing heat sinks a couple times, you just have to matador them.

            Explosives are the only way that is remotely ammo efficient. Half your primary ammo isn’t what I would call effective.

              I can take one down with a sickle without needing to change a heat sync once, you just have to patient.

              The new quasar cannon kills them in one shot to the face.

          The butt is an explosive weak point. Non explosive weapons do 10% damage when striking it, where explosive type weapons do full damage. Charger butt, bile variant side sacks and the titan belly are all examples of these weak point and why most primary weapons struggle to kill these enemies.
