So I've only been playing since December. I don't know everything. But I was playing with 2 seasoned vets, and I figured something out they didn't know. So I'm only posting this for people who didn't know, because it can matter so much. I know I'm not the person to figure this out. I'm assuming most people know, but some don't.
Vex precision kills. For casual players like me, that's the robot race people. I always would shoot their heads off, and found getting a precision kill afterwards was near impossible, because there's no more head to shoot. So I always tried to shoot their empty neck hole, but it never worked well. Until this past week playing poe 42 needing headshots, I finally saw that shooting them not in the head, but the glowing part of the abdomen actually is how to get a precision shot in them. Not the head.
Yes I know a lot of people probably know this. Got ya. But I know a lot of people had no idea. Go try it out. I felt so dumb.
Edit: so it looks like many people here didn't look at my name, or don't know what it means. Check the spoiler. No I didn't know. It's not b8 or bait or bate, or a joke, or a knock knock, or satire. I'll be the first to admit I felt foolish when I found out knowing probably most people already knew. So I wrote this post ready for the mass amounts of comments to just be calling me stupid. Which if I actually took them serioisly, I would be stupid. And you all know this already. I'm not 12. Or 13. I'm 15. Jk. But if I helped one person today know this, then I have done my job. And I think there was one person who didn't, so I have completed my work here.
Edit 2: I'm very surprised to see some actual positive comments on here, even if it didn't help them. You were nice and karma will reward you. For all those saying negative things... keep going, I'm bored.
Feel free to use this post now however you'd like. Say the most random crap, attack me, attack someone else, convert people to Christianity. Whatever. And as always stay toasty.

Interestingly, everyone who is calling you an idiot at some point did not know that vex precision shots were to the belly. They either discovered it on their own or were told it by another player. If they deny this is true then ask them "did you know this before destiny was created and if not you must be an idiot"

4 RepliesIt took me a year and a half to figure out I could use motes of light to upgrade my gear. So don't feel too bad. But as far as Vex precision shots go, I still don't know where to shoot the Minotaurs, lol.
-
Make yellow numbers when you kill.
-
Haha, I remember figuring that out in ye olden days; felt kinda dumb when I realized that the computer you hack in Campus 9 shows you with a flashing arrow.

1 ReplyBut how could you not want to shoot the big glowing squishy middle
-
1 ReplyYou must have got precision kills by accident when shooting body shots?
-
Any enemy in any game, if they have a glowy bit, shoot it;)
-
This made me laugh
-
Hey a post actually trying to help people in this community. I like you.
-
I'm not calling you dumb, but how did you not want to shoot that big glowy box?

Edited by haphazardlynamed: 4/27/2016 1:53:16 AMYeah I blame the lack of knowledge on Bungie for letting old content fall behind. back in Vanilla days, you Learned how to critical kill Vex, because if you didn't figure it out, you died. But now there is no Reason for people to Vault of Glass, guardian light levels are unsynchronized from the story missions and no one faces the Vex posing any real challenge.
-
What's funnier is that aiming for the crotch pretty much guarantees a crit. On purpose? I hope so.
-
Somewhat understandable Minotaur's don't have a crit spot unless there taken so I can see that. It came naturally to others as it did to you.
-
One of the vex bounties is literally saying to shoot them to the core.

1 ReplySigh, I can't handle this anymore.

It doesn't help that taken vex have the crit spot on the head. Threw me off for a while when taken king dropped lol.
-
1 ReplyAs soon as I seen your name, I totally understood. Give em hell Toasty!
-
Ik this since the second main story mission...realized the glowy spot in their belly was the precision kill...now i always aim for the juicebox [spoiler]i meant main quest line not story since that doesnt exist[/spoiler]
-
6 RepliesSpoiler alert.. you have to shoot Golgoroth in his glowing stomach too.
-
It confused me the first time I saw them, but then like any gamer I shot at the glowing spot and it worked.
-
Is this a joke?
-
Yup it confused me at first too. Then they add the taken form and it is their head. So confusing. And I'm a day one player, the first time I went to Venus was terrible.
-
Surely you would have found out their crit spot earlier than that. I started off with shooting the head, but i would notice mysterious yellow numbers would leak out of them when I missed the red eye. Within a few days of picking up Destiny, I was spilling Vex milk with the best of them
-
Just remember the taken version precision shots are in the head for them.
