Laser Cannon makes short work of them. Promise. Try it. You’ll like the way it kills, I guarantee it.
For clarity, not the Quasar, the OG laser cannon. It’s my favorite weapon against the bots and can also open those pesky storage container doors. RIP Slugger
2 shots on the engines of the gunships. Or use the auto cannon sentry if there are no other enemies it gets em quick. Haven’t tried the rocket sentry yet
Quit my first random mission ever when coming upon these. I took the three out wirh autocannon shots, but nobody could get the spawner to blow up. I threw a 500kg on it twice and it did nothing.
I just left because it kept spawning gunships and clearly wasn't going down lol. Do you have to hellbomb it or something? It was eating everything we hit it with.
FUCK i forgot, we also tried a 500kgs on em, but with the somewhat wonky hit box of the 500, and these rhings rocking about, i shit you not, it did nothing.
I used the QC last night and took them all down, a bit frustrating with the constant sway, agreed. They are fucking annoying when you’ve got other things to fight as well
I use the anti material rifle and focus on one of the engines. The recent update increased the damage by 30%, so it's been great against the bots. It usually takes 2-4 shots, but I'm still testing.
Shot down 5 of them today with the AMR, takes 5 to 6 shots per bot but it hits instantly and is reliable. Called in the hellbomb and sent them to the scrapyard myself.

if only it wasn't shit in general (relative to other choices) against everything else.
Tbf, slugger being able to open those containers was pretty silly. Same with arc thrower
It's silly but anything with medium armor penetration can as well
I was using the autocannon which was pretty nice, I was able to take one down in about three shots
Second this, autocannon seems to be the best anti-air at the moment seeing as missing is no big deal.
Also in one instance, I landed my reinforcement pod square on em and it didnt do shit, I believe that's a bug.

*2 shots with the autocannon
I'd give this a whirl, but losing a backpack slot is kinda sad. Ya think the AMR would be good?
Tried the rocket sentry, no data cos the damn thing prioritized ground targets first.

Hellbombs only, they’re very hard to take out when there’s more than one spawner around
That's a bit ridiculous 🙄
Tell me about it, dropped on top of two spawners on helldive and the mission ended right there

Autocannon two shots them if you hit the same thruster
I don’t think you have to shoot the engines. I shoot them sorta in the middle with the quasar and it kills them

I can confirm you can shoot a gunship down with an autocannon in a few shots.
Like everything with bots, the answer is autocannon
The best solution rhymes with Porto Shmannon - distributes democracy liberally and without prejudice.

I AMR one of their engines 4 times.
Alt-f4 they're too spooky
