Decon Pipap Advice Thread

I can’t seem to beat him. I’m asking for advice. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Stay as a group and concentrate fire on his weak spots, which is wherever you see the red hit marker appear when firing on him. - Don’t get close to him. You’re just asking to die at that point. Stay far away and shoot him from a safe distance. - Use heavy weapons or vehicles. - Avoid the red needles and the heavy needles at all cost. Staying behind cover and using pop shots can help.

By far the best way to kill all the grunt jockeys is to shoot the canopy. It changes colors according to the amount of damage its taken. After a while it will pop and you can headshot him. It goes even quicker if you have some teammates helping you out.

Any tank or aerial vehicle can pepper him from a distance as long as you have cover to duck behind when he shoots the homing needles at you.

I’ve never gotten this to work with Pipap. :frowning:

Which weapons/vehicles do you recommend?

Phaeton helios or hannibal tank

Rockets, fuel rods, snipers, anything that deals heavy and / or explosive damage.

For vehicles, any will do but it’s always better to have tanks than warthogs. The more REQ points it costs, the better it usually is.

I find the Endgame or Selene’s Lance to be the best.

What about the normal Phaeton? I only have that one unlocked so far.

Except in Warzone Firefight you don’t have infinite ammo. lol

I’m 99% sure they patched the headshot through the canopy option. Looking for source.

Unless you a referring to the “aiming beam”

Thats not what I’m talking about. You can without glitching shoot down the canopy. It does take a lot of effort though.

Use Scorpions, Mantises, Ghost, Wasps or just some decent power weapons on him

My spartan company unloaded on him with scorpions and did like 33% damage. Granted it was Mythic Warzone but considering there are 3 bosses and he’s the first one and it took us 5 minutes to take down… there’s got to be a better way.

Homing missles are way overpowered.

Make sure to use agile vehicles. Always stick near cover and run for cover the moment his attention is on you. Always keep him in your camera view unless you are fleeing from the needle barrage like it’s death (because it pretty much is).

Sounds like Manti and Phaetons are the key.
