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.

I found it out a few days into playing Destiny, and I think it was by accident. At first I didn't know though.

11 RepliesBut, you didn't do any story..? The stranger crushes the vex in the stomach, and I mean, they're growing bright white, I mean they're begging you to shoot them there Is this your first video game ever? Bungie is not the first game ever to incorporate precision on a machine in a glowing spot. I feel bad for anyone that's associated with you when problem solving and deducing results is a necessity, because my friend you lack basic interpretary skills. Please, read books, listen to pod casts, and for the love of humanity, get educated, in your current rock-like dumb state you are a burden to humanity!

1 ReplyWow. Here's something else helpful then, did you know shooting Hobgoblins with a Sidearm stops them putting up their shields

That's why i hate Vex Minotaurs. And the only reason i "like.." Taken Minotaours.

1 ReplyThat's funny dude. I probably wouldn't have known had my 16 year old that introduced me to the game told me I wonder how much other "common sense" stuff like this not everyone knows.

3 RepliesI admire you man, it takes balls to post something like this on these forums, people can be very critical. It's also awesome that you did it just to help out some of the more casual players. Keep it up.

1 ReplyWhy do you think the Vex have glowing cores? They're meant to be shot at!

5 RepliesI smoke a lot to and I figured out about a month in. Not judging I'm just sayin. I mean I ain't sayin but I'm sayin.

It took me a while to figure that out. As well as shooting the legs on walkers, shooting the red thing when they go down and shooting the wheels on tanks.

2 RepliesWhat happened to the bounty: aim for the juice box????

Fun fact. I never knew how to reload my gun until I finished the story mission on the Black Garden. Literally emptied my mag after every gunfight because I thought my character automatically reloading was the only way to do so.....

2 RepliesThe weirder thing is that taken vex have the normal head crit shot. Where's the logic there?

4 RepliesGood post m8 bump

1 ReplyPeople laugh, but I'm a day 1 player with day 1 player friends, and until CoE one of my friends didn't know that precision damage points light up yellow while standard damage points are white. Shoot an enemy and see yellow points? Great! Shoot them again there!

What year is it? Am I going back in time Or something? Shadow Price, LDR's, not knowing the precision shot on vex....2014?

Before I read this, I bet you figured out to shoot their stomachs

I too struggled with this back when i started playing, until a friend pointed it out to me during a gaming session

1 ReplyI feel you man. It took me ranking up my third character to realise that was their precision shot. (I'd been playing a month or two).
