paulic83 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Im just working my way through mission 2 for the weekly challange taking down elites shields with these skulls on seems to take 4 plamsa charges, so im wondering how many shots it takes to get some of the later games tougher elites shields down? This is quite tricky now unless theres a ghost or fuel rod near by but having famin on there's not so much ammo about for the latter so i'm finding the need to use the plasma pistol more often than anything else!

Chris Hansen Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The elites don't get tougher as the levels go on when you have those skulls on ledgendary. A gold elite general is the same strength as one in the final levels. Don't use plasma pistol on them, it just doesn't work that well at all, the only viable options are to trick the elites into turning thier backs to you, get them stuck in an animation like covering from an explosion, or getting them to melee you, and sidestep, assassinating them.

paulic83 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I know its a frustrating thing with the plasma pistol, I found needler works better so long as you have the ammo!! Think your way sounds better though i'll have to practice it thanks for the responce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hansen Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've never tried the needler, but I know it takes an excessive amount of anything to kill them. It's random but fuel rod guns spawn on the dead grunts, if your lucky you can get a full ammo stack and use that for the beginning elites. It takes pretty much all 5 shots.

paulic83 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I know fuel rods brilliant for it but im doing it to get both challanges at 1s which means I have famin on so they drop like 2 shots! I shall try your method though. Yeah you can own them with the needler pretty quickly but it takes about all the ammo you can carry to take 1 out!

BearClawsKiller Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yea I feel ya. But the elites don't get stronger in the later levels. Yea famine sucks! But it just takes skill man..... skilll.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulic83 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Famin does make it a little bit harder! Well im through it 1hit melee takes em down from behind lol( master chief must have 1 strong elbow) thing is its a lot easier on that mission as you have cloak, i'll use needler were possible but that works a treat thankyou! The end I had to take out 2 hunters again this is going to be a lot harder on the later levels because on this 1 they are slightly distracted by the gaurdians and theres a gun case with 2 fuel rods sat there, any advice on hunters?
