Big waste of ammo

[Grell Sutcliff]

legendary bloatfly, sure it's easy to kill but it takes so many shots seriously I got 20 stealth criticals with a silenced sniper rifle with full condition and with 100 in guns and it still had more than half it's health. Tip if you want to kill it quickly use Elijah's tesla cannon.

I like how this topic is almost entierely F3/NV stuff.

Yay for difficulty mods making it not a game about bullet sponging.

Just a little question to you all out there. In games what do you fnd to be just big bullet sponges or just a total waste of ammo when you see them?
For me i would say the giant radscorpion from FO3 right now since ive been playing it again recently, The ammount of shots it can take sometimes just feels like a waste, sometimes i will just break its legs and walk away its not worth it.

That's nothing.

Try Super Mutant Overlords, Ghoul Reavers, and Albino Radscorpions, those are the real bullet sponges.

Hell, even one Reaver takes at least two Mini Nukes directly before dying.

FUCKING. HATE. REAVERS.

Super fast, super powerful at close range, has long-range radiation-based attacks, and are absolute shits to kill. I had the Weapon Mod Kits mod, had a modified Combat Shotgun with and Extended Magazine and Autofire Mechanism, and those bastards still took too many shots from a fully automatic shotgun.

Overlords are severely underrated enemies, when those bastards wield the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle they rape you hard, and they probably have more health than a Behemoth.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Every time I see just one running towards me I shit bricks, and when you are at level 30, the fuckers are absolutely EVERYWHERE! In the Caves, in the Underground, in your Mum's bed...the list goes on (the last one was a joke XD).

I'm going to say every enemy in Mass Effect 2.

Considering the scarcity of ammo "thermal" clips, the fact that they only refill a percentage of the total amount of ammo, and the Sniper rifles that have any power only hold about 10 ammo, the game pretty much gives a big FU to Infiltrators. So, yea. Everything is a waste of ammo when you generally don't have any ammo to waste. Thus, I just end up letting my squad mates shoot while I threw fireballs, hack and dominate.

Spoiler: Dear Captcha, WTF?

Kessler from inFAMOUS

It's not actually a waste of ammo since Cole is not shooting bullets
but Kessler can take a ridicolous amount of damage.

Hunters from all Halo games. It takes two sticky grenades to the orange, soft, back of the beast. But still everyone (including me) feels its necessary to run at it full on emptying their assault rifle ammo on the blue, hard, armor.

not really it only takes one shot to the stomach with a sniper rifle.

The Psychos from DR2. I'm sorry bathroom hippy but your chunk of glass hurts me more than my chainsaw hurts you? Right....

Agreed. Every Broken Steel enemy is stupidly tough. I understand that they wanted to add a challenge for higher level players, but it's a bit jarring. By the time you're level 20, Deathclaws and Super Mutant Masters tend to be pretty easy to deal with, and then, suddenly, you start running into opponents that are three or four times stronger without any warning whatsoever.

Although the Tri-Beam laser rifle is worth it.

Deathclaws are easy as pie, if you cripple their legs with a dart gun. They are in no way bullet spongers, especially compared to the others i mentioned.

In New Vegas however...Holy Jesus Christ on a bleeding pogo stick! They will screw you over big time!

Ghost reavers in fallout 3 and giant radscorpion in fallout new vegas.

Reavers:ridiculously over-powered with tons of HP,long range attacks,crippling them is worthless,their skull can take more damage than a huge Platinum bar.

giant radscorpion:They're faster,stronger,they usaully come in groups,and their venom is strong enough to kill you after fight with a few of them.

In Fallout 3? Dude, play New Vegas. Radscorpions are even tougher. They were practically a joke in Fallout 3.

I've found that the Gauss Rifle can take out most of these with one or two head shots if your Sneak is high.

Yeah, even though they did nerf Reavers quite a bit, but Everything else was buffed from Fallout 3, even the bloatflies.

Oh Yeah, Reavers... Fu*k those guys, they are the only enemies where I have to literally spam rockets at.

But other than that... Hunters from Halo, but even they fall with few accurate shots.

Totally agree.
I hate running in to radscorpions. Especially because I specialize in small guns. I can kill a death claw in one hit from a hunting rifle but radscorpions take 3 or 4 clips.

Oh and the final boss from boarderlands fuck that thing.

 

[HusaneFatal]

Elites in Halo: Reach on Legendary take WAY too many shots to kill especially for the amount of them they throw at you at any given time. With 4 people it makes sense but solo not at all it's just ridiculous.
