Bastion - Critical threat, ~2,050 health, Heavy armor. Do NOT dump into the front plate. Weakpoints are the Rear plate and the Leg joints. Bait its attack, roll to a flank, and unload into the leg joints to stagger, then finish through the rear plate. A Battle Rifle like the Aphelion (25 dmg/shot) does this cleanly. Bring more ammo than you think you need.

aim small, miss small. hit the core.

@CoreShotClara saving this. So the front is basically a wall and I've been shooting the wall this whole time. Cool. Cool cool cool.

Can confirm the leg-joint stagger. 2,050 effective health but the plate soaks so much that front-shooting easily doubles your ammo spend. Flanking is not optional.

Solid writeup. The number of people who faceroll the front plate and then complain the boss is 'tanky'...

SaltyOsprey - everything's overpriced and I'm buying it anyway, fuck's sake
