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.

Yeah, everything was explained in the Destiny manual that didn't come with the disc. Congrats on figuring it out. Don't play attention to the naysayers.

Lol im going to assume this is the first video game you have ever played. If i was you i would stick to casual freindly games like destiny.

5 RepliesAlso just a piece of advice, Vex Minotaurs (simple name is the big robots with purple shields), no critical spot.

I really really hope this is just a joke. If not, then I hope you continue to enjoy your vex precision kills.

Lol, I remember the time I thought shooting a vex' head was the precision shot. One day, while I was playing a mission on Venus. I was shooting a Goblin when all of a sudden I see yellow numbers pop up from the Vex.

1 ReplyThanks. I knew this but so many times people forget new people come to this game all the time. Assuming things are widely known is a bad habit. A lot of parts of this game aren't obvious or explained well and unless you find out from someone else or accidently stumble on it you won't know. The forums can be toxic but there is also a lot of game info here if you can weed through the mess. We were all new at some point.

1 ReplyI saw my n00b roommate playing his new character yesterday and he was shooting for the head. You shouldn't feel foolish, literally every enemy in every game has their crit spot in the head
