Have you ever gotten annoyed by the fact that you don't have the right weapons when you need them? Well here's my guide to help.
Killing grunts:
Killing grunts is easy, any weapon will work, and it's the only good use for the AR. Head shots with pistols is a good way. But don't waste plasma overcharges on them, unless you have to. you'll encouter grunts in every level except the library and they're very common.
Weapons the most effective against grunts: ALL
Killing Jackels:
Killing Jackels could be more of a challenge than grunts. With their enery sheilds it's hard to attack from a distance. Plasma pistol overcharges will knock out their sheilds leaving them exposed to all weapons. Needlers and AR are the least most effective when their sheilds are up. Good pistol aim will work, or good plasma rifle aim will do. Jackels are in most levels as well as grunts
Weapons most effective:
Plasma Pistol
Pistol
Plasma rifle
Shotgun (at close range)
Sniper (hit the side hole of their sheild)
Rocket Launcher (but don't waste it)
Killing Elites
If your trying to kill elites on any other diffcultly than legendary, then you can easily just hit them in the head with a sniper rifle and it will kill them in one shot, but on legendary red elites and gold elites will not die in one shot, blue ones still will. These are the ranks for the elites:
Blue:normal
Red: Like a Veteran or something like that
Silver/active camo:stealth
Gold:Commander
Black:Spec Ops
Elites do have energy sheilds like yours and are hardest to kill of all covies.
Weapons most effective:
Needler
Plasma Pistol and rifle
Shotgun (at close range)
sniper rifle
Rocket lancher
Another thing to do with elites is to throw plasma grenades on them, killing it once they explode, oyu might have to practice on grunts or Jackels though if your not good at that. Elites are in First level, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, and 10th
Killing Hunters:
Killing hunters is a simple thing to do, hunter have three weak spots on their body, one on their neck, one on their back, and one on their chest. All the weak spots are orange, the best one to go for is the one on the back because when hunters spot you they either crouch down and cover their neck and chest weak spots, or charge at you if your near. You want them to charge at you, once they charge sidestep and shoot or melee them in the orange spot on the back, the best weapon for the job is the pistol, one shot of this thing in the bcak and their dead. A shotgun could work too, as can a sniper rifle, it just has to be in one of the orange spots. Hunters are very easy to kill with the right weapons.
Weapons most effective:
Pistol
Sniper rifle
Rocket launcher
Shotgun
Well that's it, if you like this guide then I might make another on vehicles.
