Fantastic guide, straight to the point and very detailed. Thanks bro!

Dying is not the only method to lose your buff. The operator and suppressor can juggle the second bomb before depositing - only needing to actually place the bomb when the person with the disabled buff hits about 31 seconds (this time starts the moment their buff is sent to the terminal, and whoever is disabled MUST deposit as soon as they are able). The premise here is to delay breaking the thrusters (up to 6 times) to help cushion the time before he wipes the team during the purple trash party and when the disabled person can retrieve their buff. Ideally, they will pick it up on the second or third purple comet. This is the flawless raid method, and doesn't rely on RNG for who is disabled or not. In my opinion, it's smoother to do, allows for more breathing room between phases (gathering ammo and such), and it's a better strategy than hoping the same person isn't disabled three times in a row. I'd recommend giving it a shot, since it's also the only way to ensure a flawless trio, which is far more fun to pursue!

[@KiiNgDusT]

My team also found that the supressor should be using blink for a more consistent "one cage" during the phase. We used icarus dash to begin with, but found blink to be easier to operate, which also allows for a novabomb on the final stand to help ease into the final stretch as well.

[@gmeinersYT]

Yeah I know, I made this before that became know.

[@tanner7622]

Instead of wiping you can have the deactivated player deposite their augment and the operator and suppressor can juggle the ball long enough that they can pick back up before it is needed again

[@Nyyaann]

What about the scanner? Wouldn’t they get trapped?

[@formxr]

@@Nyyaann Taniks doesn't trap people after he's stunned.

[@Nyyaann]

@@formxr What if suppresser gets deactivate and has to wait then would the operator just keep piping bubbles until it can be suppressed . If the scanner gets stuck do you just juggle two balls until they get it back? If so how can two players safely juggle two balls?

[@formxr]

@@Nyyaann Nobody gets deactivated until Taniks is stunned, so the maximum amount of bubbles you're going to get is two. Suppressor can't get deactivated before taniks is stunned, that's impossible.

[@OwlOnFire]

Thank you for the guide!! GGs on clear

[@rantperi8190]

what a beast! best tutorials btw!

[@gmeinersYT]

Appreciate it 🙏

[@chiefrunamok3991]

Great guide! Thanks! Just a question: is there a way to time when the detainment balls happen? I've heard people talk about the timing but I haven't heard anything specific on it. Thanks again

[@gmeinersYT]

The timing is pretty uniform. The first detain is right before the suppression drones become active. The second is roughly 5 - 10 seconds later. If the suppressor is fast enough, they can prevent this detain from happening. The first detain also happens right around when the first nuke dropped reaches 4 seconds on it's timer. You can use this to perfectly time a titan stasis melee to break yourself out of the detain field. This strategy and timing is used for the 2 man strategy.

[@chiefrunamok3991]

@@gmeinersYT Thanks for clearing that up but I have a follow up question lol. I've been in runs where it seems that if the supressor stuns Tanik's "too fast", someone gets detained, and the operator gets deaugmented and everything goes off the rails. I think I understand most of the mechanics for the encounter but I think I'm missing some of the finer details (like how many ways are there out of a detainment bubble--it loo. I mean, the raid is still has that new-raid smell to it, but I get a kick out of Sherpa-ing players through raids and want to get this one down.

[@gmeinersYT]

@@chiefrunamok3991 I believe that taniks has two prioritizations when detaining. 1. Is whoever is the furthest away 2. is whoever is holding a nuke If no nukes are held, the player farthest away will be detained first. If 2 nukes are held, the player holding the nuke that is furthest from taniks is detained. if 2 nuke is held, the player holding it will be stunned. Most likely if the operator is being detained first, it is because the suppressor stunned taniks and no nukes have been picked up yet.

[@chiefrunamok3991]

@@gmeinersYT Thanks again. Looking forward to trying this over the weekend. One potentially last question, what exactly causes someone to lose their augment? Is it when one nuke is deposited? Two? I think I'm getting a clearer picture now. My team was having the supressor hold off, finishing two of the three balls and waiting for the nukes to be ready for dunking in case they got detained and the operator got deaugmented. I think we were thinking that the deaugmentation was tied into when he was surpressed. If I'm getting this right, a lot of headaches will be solved lol.

[@gmeinersYT]

@@chiefrunamok3991 It is when the suppression happens

[@iamTheEmperuh]

Hey man! Love the video!! What would happen if the Operator becomes deactivated during transportation off the radiation? Would it be a wipe or is there a way to prevent it ?

[@gmeinersYT]

If you are fast enough this is prevented If they lose augment, let them die. If they are trapped but have augment, take the nuke from them and let them shoot the detain field All this is mentioned in the video. So if you want a better explanation you can watch it again if need be. Ik it is a lot to take in when watching it the first time

[@nicholasbrown6732]

What exactly do you need to do for thee snug cancels as I'm trying to relate it to controller and I can't get it right

[@gmeinersYT]

If I am understanding your question you are asking about movement, So shoot, swap, then sprint cancel. If you are talking about perks for the shottys, then you want auto loading or reconstruction, assault mag and maz handling helps too! Always run backup mag. If you are using first in last out get a role with auto loading vorpal.

[@harrysayer9454]

Amazing vid, why 3 anarchy shots though? i thought the damage capped out at 2?

[@gmeinersYT]

Seemed to increase dps. If bosses are large enough (like guarantee for example) you can use more than 2 anarchy to hit multiple hit boxes.

[@andreaspharmakas2767]

you dont need to die if your augmet is deactivated you can just delay the second ball dunk and get it before the next ball phase

[@gmeinersYT]

I know my man, that information came out after I made the guide

[@gmeinersYT]

[@salmon1449]

fantastic guide , but i have a question is there any reason for shooting 3 anarchy shots ? , as far as i know 2 shots do max damage

[@gmeinersYT]

Seemed to do more damage, on previous bosses 3 anarchy would hit multiple hit boxes so I figured I would mention it in the video.

[@Xpozc]

How do you survive the radiation

[@Jayco93]

How do you manage radiation on the second round? My team is always at 7 ish by the time he starts bombs again.

[@popzopp1926]

Does it show up on raid report as a trio if you just do Taniks?

[@TheRules17]

I really like this. We need more of this type of stuff. Most people love this type of 2 3 man thing, butt don't no how it's possible.

[@ExtremeCreationz]

Can you do a video on the flawless version as you dont need anyone to die to kill taniks :)

[@gmeinersYT]

Will be doing a flawless 3 man full guide! Just working on getting it done atm

[@gabrielmontes7122]

How to prevent operator deactivated?

[@thewhamji]

How was Gladd able to do this without dying? I know this video was made a month ago, so has a new strat come out?

[@thewhamji]

nevermind... just saw your other video haha

[@GrubThompson]

How did Gladd do this flawless?

[@gmeinersYT]

New starts have been found since I made the guide

[@oryx2366]

@@gmeinersYT makes sense now

[@davidmonroy7550]

I seriously dont know if this is possible on console, im currently 3 manning the raid and we got all the way to taniks, weve gotten to a dps phase with no deaths but its so hard. The timing of things on console is so tight and these milliseconds matter when im suppressing him.

[@RogueGamingHub]

It is. I’m on console and I’ve cleared it twice. It is incredibly challenging though! Every second matters.
