It is handy they're clearly awful enginneers....... ;)

[@hopelesslyoptimistic8231]

Actually, it’s not a bad idea-In real life, people aren’t trained to shoot for the head because it’s harder to hit than shooting center mass. Also, we don’t know what the Automatons are: they could be robots or made from people. There is enough evidence that the Automatons are using humans to make more of them.

[@ambasutori9053]

Considering the weakspots of real life tanks, Automata designs are actually pretty damn well armored, regardless of the weakspots obviousness. Any tank can and will be destroyed from behind

I think automatons might take kids away when they invade in order to turn them into sympathizers, it would be a very interesting twist if when the hell divers invade their core worlds they find humans fighting alongside automatons.

[@raphaelrodriguez8316]

I find it strange that after their initial overwhelming offensive, the Automatons proceeded to take an almost purely defensive posture in the Galactic War.

[@Radeon_the_Protoboi]

The automatons only want Cyberstan, as per the true translation of one of their messages to Super-Earth, the will not enslave, kill, or control any humans after the war, they merely want their home back and to liberate the Cyborgs from slavery. Their first message was also a singular Chinese character that breaks down into the vague phrase 'work together'

[@lostbutfreesoul]

So they forced me to the front line and I am even more... concerned. I saw Automatons running away! I was stalked by a lone bot whom, when I turned to face them, vanished. Just then an even more bizarre one occurred. A lone bot walk up to my friend prepping the ICBM and then... walking away... walking. I was so shocked I just stood there and watched it, wishing I had a recording or something! Didn't even think about shooting at it till it was long gone, and ... honestly ... it felt wrong to try.

[@11jerans]

Grenade launcher is your friend for bots. Everything up to tanks and hulk die quick to nades. Fun fact, The shield devistator can easily be killed if you focus fire his galling gun ammo backpack, takes like one clip and seems to be light armor. The rocket one can also be staggered shooting the rocket pods with small arms. Also, rocket and all troopers will miss a lot if you are simply shooting in their general direction. The more stuff flying at them, the more likely they are to miss. So if you have to run away, just blind fire at them. It lowers their acc. Also, don't forget everyone's favourite! The tank turret tower. Oof. Keep your eyes out for them.

[@hadesdogs4366]

I’ve found that the diligence counter sniper rifle is quite effective at killing berserkers being medium penetrating as well as having a decent amount of damage, it’s only real problem would be the lack of ammunition you have with a mere fifteen rounds of ammo and can take one or two magazines just to kill one of them.

[@SashaMasonVR]

It is worth noting that Hulks also explode on death. In fact, it is possible to destroy their weakpoint at the back and still have them be active for a short while before they crumble down and explode. Be very careful with those, and dont celebrate your victories too soon.

[@banditlord8210]

Another interesting note, I’ve managed to destroy hulks using the P-4 Senator revolver believe it or not, you just gotta get a few shots into its back weakpoint, first time I did it, was purely by accident next thing I know it falls and explodes, was pretty sweet and awesome

[@SashaMasonVR]

@@banditlord8210 Yeee, the Revolver is pretty neat like that because it can actually damage the weakspot on Hulks and Tanks. I have done the same thing with tanks as well but it takes a while.

These bots are much different, they are not like the bugs, there ability to plan and form formations make them a foe much more dangerous, so placing defences and funding more to the war effort with these machines is a logical and nescery option or else they will cut though but we wont give them a easy fight.

Hello! This is your local Democracy Officer giving YOU a bit of re-education! The offence occurred in the Title of your video. It occurred when you used "Who" instead of "What". The word "Who" implies that it is about a person, or some animal (such as a cat or a dog within a family unit) with a consciousness. The Automaton menace are NOT people, nor are they conscious. They are a hivemind construct that has no individual thought patterns nor emotion nor logic nor reasoning. The Ministry of Truth has declared that Automatons are NOT people, nor are they animals, so therefore they are not deserving of the pronoun "Who". This act of Near Treason has been documented, and it has also been documented that re-education has been conducted. Further instances of Near Treason may be interpreted as Treason and will carry consequences of disbarment from application of C-01 Procreation Permit Forms, permanent internment in re-education camps, sentences of mandatory labor for various periods of time on agricultural or industrial colonies, or forfeiture of all biological functions as determined by your local Super Earth Governmental Authorities.
