The Fallen tanks [i]way[/i] too long to kill! I ran into one by myself on the free roam mission and spent almost half an hour whittling it down. Not even Scarabs were that tough!
There are a few ways I can see to change this, like having a higher heavy weapon ammo capacity, or having the heavy weapons deal more damage, but the simplest solution seems to be just reduce the tank's health... by a lot. They'd still be offensive juggernauts but fighting them wouldn't be quite so tedious.
Of course, I have only fought two, so maybe it's not really a huge problem... though other people have expressed similar thoughts...
Any ideas?
-
One weapon does it all. Black hammer
-
Is this #satire? Because they literally take less than 10 seconds to kill
-
The necromancers are up to some shady shit right now.
-
Level up do Crota's end, obtain the Black Hammer, get the white nail perk, watch as well you begin to break Destiny's PvE
-
It's hard in the beginning but now I can kill it in 5 mins solo. Just get a good sniper.
-
Wow, a lot of people have posted saying how quick it is to kill them. Could you guys please look at the date? This was back in Beta, when level and gear were limited, there was no black hammer to quickly take it down. Why was this thread even revived?

They shouldn't be to hard for you to kill. Ice breaker will destroy those things
-
Black hammer destroys them in 60 seconds
-
I kill them in 30 seconds whether its on a roc strike, heroic or nightfall or a public event. They are not strong, you just need to use precision weapons and hit the correct spots, they will die fast enough. If you are below 20 and dont have strong weapons they can be tough, but they are supposed to be taken out by a team
-
My lv 20 hunter at the time, took it down in 5 minutes alone.
-
Try and get black hammer - I think it took about 1 min to drop the one in the strike!!
-
You forgot #satire
-
Seriously? :D You have a 32 and think Devil Walkers are op? I smell a joke.
-
LET IT DIE!!! Look at the date.
-
They're bosses lol supposed to take a minute but its never taken me a half hour. Try ice breaker yet?
-
30 mins? They despawn long before that. Limited time to take them down.
-
Black Hammer
-
Sounds like you're a scrub to me...
-
My record kill time from full to zero on a nightfall is 30 seconds. Feel free to cut it's health in half so I can get a 15 second.
-
The replies to this post just proves how many people don't read before commenting. Check the date you "noobs"!
-
Clearly a troll. You can't spend 30 minutes killing a fallen walker on patrol as public events are timed. Once the clock expires the public event ends.
-
Black Hammer master race
-
It takes 2 minutes, if that

Edited by Matu Flp Krawfe: 2/5/2015 5:22:57 PMThis was [i]very [/i]common beta feedback, all bosses in Destiny are just arbitrary damage sponges that no [i]competent [/i]shooter would resort to (because more sophisticated AI, level, and combat design normally stands in for what Bungie has accomplished here by inflating damage and health attributes). Seeing though how[i] we still have them[/i], there's probably not a whole lot of use in trying to discuss it. What's changed between then and now is merely the presence of those who have merely accepted bad game design as "the way it is, now shut up [i]scrub![/i]"

Sounds like the problem is you using heavy weapons on the things, specials are way more effective, the Black Hammer being the most useful. The only viable way to use heavies against the spider walkers is to own a Ghorn or baby Ghorn (word of crota).
