Overload captains need to be nerfed, or overload rounds need to be buffed.
In order to stagger an overload captain you need to hit them consecutive times with a weapon. Which is way more work then it should be considering how often they teleport around. Couple that with the fact that sometimes overload rounds don't proc consistently after a certain number of rounds, or blade swings, then that's a problem. And not all weapons are powerful enough to work through their health regeneration, and you have an enemy type that's WAY more powerful than necessary. I'm 1001 power, and I can be 3 shot by an overload captain with a shrapnel cannon but can't hit him enough times to stagger him because he teleports all over the place, line of sight be damned, and is able to move faster and fire faster than guardians in all situations. Not fun, not a good mechanic. Unstoppable rounds work immediately, barrier rounds are always active. Fix overload rounds or limit the number of teleports an overload captain has.

Yeah, I completely understand how you feel. Overload Captains are a real nuisance. They are tough to beat as a solo player, but if you get a good couple of weapons together and keep your distance, you can take them out without too much trouble. Some Supers also deal with them quite quickly, but that depends on what Subclass you are using and if you have it charged when you encounter them.

6 RisposteI'm a 1017, been soloing the Legend nightfalls since 990's but sometimes it's a struggle to get the stun with my curated Strykers Surehand. The damn overload captains spam their teleport abilities and their weapon attacks leaving you in an awkward position to get destroyed. This video was one of the roughest experiences I've been in, usually not this brutal.
-
If you need to solo these guys, you might want to level up more. I am able to solo legendary lost sectors. I just use an overload sword and it works great.
-
I actually have to go to "easy mode" for this - and I hate easy mode-ing anything. Only works if you have Divinity - ofc I run Divinity & an auto-loading rocket launcher (Roar of the Boar) use divinity until you get a good size "cage" - he can't teleport outta that switch and fire the rocket - switch and continue with divinity - the cage should still have been in effect. lather-rinse-repeat : 2 or 3 rochets and he's done. The caveat is of course - AMMO STARVATION IS REAL.

Use a handcannon, they stagger in 2 shots.
-
8 RisposteMy overload hand cannon one tap staggers those guys. And I’m only like 970.
-
I found that the only reliable weapon is Divinity...
-
Swords, are the key, use the mods from artifact and time the blink and you melt them. I agree the transporting is annoying but you can do it especially if you have a teammate,
-
9 RisposteDivinity... except I’ll never get it ‘cos you can put the raid where the sun don’t shine.

Not fun. I play for fun. Sometimes I'm really on it (best scores and all) and sometimes I'm not, but I play for fun. I have a very demanding job; time consuming and stressful. I do not play Destiny for stress; I play to relieve stress. Yet these new Bunker Overlords take up all my time and worse they make me stress and yell and swear. I'm at 999 light and have decent weapons but last night for the 2nd day in a row, after way more time than I can afford on one solo activity, I had to back out. I want the Sundial back - I know that's a dream unfulfilled but at least I felt like I was doing something, and the stress of my day melted away. These Bunkers and the new public game just suck. . . imho

2 RisposteWe found the best approach is a sword and and Divinity. Which is a shitty combo because unless your Fireteam has a Divinity it doesnt work. Also sucks that the one person with Divinity pretty much has to roll with it always. Repeat of WoR Warlock days.
-
They are very annoying. I was using an Overload sword and every time I swung, it teleported. It was based more on whether or not he teleported instead of me being skilled enough to get close.
-
Just go play Minecraft.
-
4 RisposteFirstly, paragraphs use them. Secondly, solar melee can cause them to stagger. So just equip that mod, have Your titan/hunter use their throwing melee and viola! A stunned champion. Finally, If you cannot solo your bunker, then summon the frames or the Valkyrie. The bunker can be cleared even if you're under level that way.
-
2 RisposteI faced off against 2 overload captains and a barrier servitor constantly making them immune. All while solo... Mandatory GitGud Gud
-
How has no one mentioned the arc grenade yet? That is my go to! Toss a grenade in between teleports or right at the beginning while I am still unnoticed. Run up with heavy, 4th horseman, or Chaos Reach.
-
I chopped through a whole mag with the carbine while using over load rounds hitting all crits, the crazy asshole didn’t even flinch. Freakin crack head. Jam that sword up his ass and it’ll sober him up real quick.
-
I don’t think the Captains themselves need to be nerfed but maybe overload rounds should be buffed I have noticed it’s a little inconsistent with its activation sometimes.
-
3 RisposteUse a sword. They are easy to solo. Also...overload weapons fire an overload round after a set amount of rounds fired...you can see it happening. It isnt that you need to hit that many rounds...just the actual overload round.
-
3 RisposteThe game now is about putting together builds for what you are doing. That is all it is about period end of story. You have to stack up a bunch of mods then run certain setups and then it is the usual walk in the park. You gotta catch em all first or build that perfect deck that kind of thing. Not what the game was and not what the game should be but that doesn't matter it is the current misguided direction it is in.
-
7 RisposteNo worries with a fire team virtually impossible solo
-
bruh just use austringer
-
they dont teleport, simply this joke company called bungo decided to mix people all around the world, so if you are connected from uk peer2peer to someone from china, pakistan or india, you have 6s lag, thats why they teleport, overloads you can kill even without stagger but it almost takes 12-16 shots from jotunn or telesto instead 4 when staggered. back to teleport thats why pvp is such a joke since shadowshit, cos there is no more matching by lowest ping, you die from fire that isnt there, you shoot at other player but he already killed you 6s ago, you just dont know it yet.
-
use a sword
-
They need to buff Overload rounds on automatic weapons. Literally every other overload mod lasts longer than a second but they're all restricted to smaller ranges.
