November 6, 200619 yr Moments like this are the reason I play these games: War stories of crazy stunts that actually do something cool. I was in one of our (=A=) squads last night. 3 of us were on the Ruins trying to cap the flag. I heard a walker coming and high tailed it to a hiding spot in the rubble as I was using an assault kit. However, I positioned myself and started to lob smoke grenades to blind the walker and hopefully give my teammates some cover. JCMoncur had the Pilum, and managed to severely wound the walker. I noticed it was sparking as I tossed my second smoke grenade, a sheer sign it was within an inch of getting destroyed. However, JC was killed. I don't know what came over me, but I sprinted down the rubble thru the smoke and got under the walker. I then raised my Voss and unloaded into the vent. Before I got a half a clip into it, the walker was falling down on top of me! By god, it actually worked, I got a Voss kill on a walker! Man that was so cool!
November 6, 200619 yr You hit it in the nuts - hit anything in the nuts with any weapon and its goin down!

November 6, 200619 yr Each bullet does 1 damage if you hit the vent/grating on their butt. I've done this many times (my most kills are on walkers and tanks). Pop an EMP mine down and hop around to get 2 pilum shots into him, then break out the SMG and unload. I can solo walkers that panic and don't try to "sit" on me. Now that I've unlocked the Pilum, motion mines and extra SMG clip I can defend a flag like crazy from anything not carrying an assault rifle.
November 6, 200619 yr Never knew that I usually just hide when i have my assault kit. However i am close to unlocking the Lambert Carbine and the cloaking so taking out walkers should be easy. How many Demo paks to demo a walker?
November 6, 200619 yr Author Actually, with either the default rocket lancher or the Pilum, you can one shot the walker with a shot to the vent. Easily half my Walker kills are from getting under it and shooting my Pilum into the vent. I don't call myself the Armor Killer for nothing... I know the weak spots Pilum to the vent is my preferred kill method, as the walker doesn't get a chance to retreat and repair to do more damage. Only bad part is it isn't an instant kill, it takes it to disabled and burning. However, it's so close to dead it's collapsing and exploding in less time than it takes to reload my Pilum for another shot. However, having read what you said, I may try quick switching to my SMG to punch home the finishing blow faster, just as an experiment. As it is... I like having time to get out from under the walker as it goes up and getting ready to finish off any pilots who had the presence of mind to bail.

I like having time to get out from under the walker as it goes up and getting ready to finish off any pilots who had the presence of mind to bail. If I have the time to line up a shot, sure I go for the vents. But on a map like Tunis Harbor, typically I am sprinting into a hail of fire since the walkers like to hang back a bit. So I put on light armor, sprint under the belly and behind the walker-hop between its legs. I've managed to down a number of them before biting the big one from someone's Voss.
November 6, 200619 yr Author I agree with you about Tunis Harbor. I've noticed that walkers tend to hang back more on the map. There is also alot less cover for me to get up close. On that map I tend to hang back and try for legshots. Those are hard tho if they're almost back to the fog, the Pilum is almost guaranteed to miss at that range and you're better off with a Torso shot.... where the armor is stronger.

November 8, 200619 yr Well the walker is a male and how do you take a guy down? By hitting his groin of course :thumbsup:
November 9, 200619 yr THat is a very cool Voss experience! I just wish I could always get one-shot kills with my advanced sniper rifle! (Damn those helmets!) Rich (AKA ZenHuntMaster)
