I've put three on that skill... amazing what firing 6 in quick succession is like compared to just 3...

I know what you mean.

I have a rocket launcher that normally fires 5 in one quick blast, with mods and points in the right place (Overload ;-)) It now fires so many it's like the Jericho missile from Iron Man. 8-)

Probably the easiest fight I've had in the game so far. I simply used a car with a machinegun, locked on to mothrakk and the held in the firebutton while I drove in circles around the cliff where you find him. Didn't even make a dent in my car :)

Then again, no boss has given me any problems so far. I've found that a few well-placed shotgun-blasts up close does the trick most of the time, especially since I'm playing Roland.

I have placed my four weapons in a specific order, so that I cycle through them according to what distance the enemy is from my position. So it's a sniper in spot one, a machine gun in slot two, and a shotgun in slot three and four, the last one only having two shells in the chamber, but doing 11x90 dmg per shell. So if my other weapond didn't manage to kill them off, the last shotgun usually does the trick :)

The final boss...was it supposed to be a joke? It was probably the easiest end-of-game-boss since Dead Space...very disappointing.

But the rest of the game rocked, even though it was far too easy and not a single boss did give me what I'd consider a challenge.

If you complete every single mission, yes you tend to get a little ahead of the game. Second playthrough... this is a bit more challenging ;)

I finished my first playthrough at lvl 37. I've also downloaded the zombie add-on, so I'll probably finish that before I start on my second tour of duty :)

Buy a high fire resistance shield. He won't be able to make a dent in you.

Especially if you're a solider. You'll be able to drop your turret down and heal yourself back to full health.

Or cower under the cover of the runner hut nearby and take pot shots with a rifle.

Guys. The Mothrakk topic ended on page 15 when I taught everyone the easy way to bring him down with virtually no risk.

Guys, the DLC is out!

Just see that you are packed with corrosive stuff in the beginning, because I am getting hammered here! :wink:

Yeah... my Brick was already carrying x4 corrosive shotty, launcher, pistol and x6 fists ;)

Mind you, there ARE chemical lancers who are resistant, but a bit of fire puts them down heh...
