I’m not normally one to complain but this thing is ridiculous. I can deal with obscene damage output and health, but that combined with crazy good tracking weapons and range is just too much, I lost a phaeton helios and an ONI mantis to him today on ARC, I wasn’t doing anything near him, I was just outside/above the armouries and he shot his big needles into the air and they instakilled me. I get annoyed enough as is when marines engage you with an AR from a stupidly long range but getting cross mapped, behind cover from a target you havent engaged is beyond silly.
He isn’t fun to fight, its just a bullet sponge with erratic behaviour.

I have found it to be pointless to use a tank , mantis or aircraft against the Wardens or the Grunt mech. Now the only vehicles I use in FF are ghosts. And I use them sparingly. Some maps/enemy combinations are simply unwinnable. Like the 3 Wardens on Noctus at night when they are fully surrounded by soldiers and the Wardens have 100% accuracy on your vehicle from all the way across the map. Nope, Not wasting my RECs in that situation.
I’m sorry but your scenario is funny to me loll sorry you lost the vehicle. Yess that thing is def anti vehicles. I find we’ve died less when everyone has power weapons and were shooting in an out of cover then everyone in a vehicle and barraging him.
vehicles do more damage most of the time but we die much faster
I made this post a couple days ago to discuss strats on beating this guy. He’s actually not that hard after the community discussed different tricks to defeating him.
flying vehicles are a pretty bad idea when the grunt goblin is around. the phaeton is your best bet, but you have to be really paying attention so you can warp at just the right time. i wouldn’t spawn it and then be off trying to do anything else when the grunt mech is around.
I usually don’t bother with vehicles against him since he can insta kill every single one. I usually run a plasma caster and charge it, deals good damage if you stick him as central as possible. White scar helps if he’s surrounded with AI, kills so many so quickly and deals similar damage to him.

My point isn’t about beating him guys, it’s that he will kill vehicles on the other side of the map before they can do anthing about it. The fact he seems to always join the game around 6min doesnt help because you dont have many power reqs by then and no one is interested in fighting it. If you solo search it basically means you cant fight him off before spawning a vehicle.
