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.

3 RepliesThe early days of VoG were funny...guys shooting heads off of Vex and making them go berserk. Good post, but maybe late to the party!

2 RepliesNow does "Aim for the Juice Box" bounty make sense?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Mind = Blown

2 seasoned players didn't know this?!?! Lol

2 RepliesJust wait till you find out what your p3nis can do

3 RepliesThat is why you have the bounty called aim for the juice box

1 ReplyI had a mate start playing and helped him through his story missions. When we got to venus I told him to shoot the vex in the guts. For the next couple of months half the time I still had to remind him - I'd notice vex charging us with no heads. We're both in our 30's and have played video games since Atari 2600 (original Pong for me).

4 RepliesI don't get it.. It's glowing.. Why wouldn't you want to shoot it?

11 RepliesI smoke a lot of weed too, but that's day 1 stuff. Don't blame weed for dumb mistakes, it's actually proven fact that marijuana does not lower your IQ.

Minotaurs don't help with the learning curve not having a precision spot :/

7 RepliesNo offense but you have poor deductive reasoning if took you that long.

Remember, shoot 'em in the jewel(s), son.

That's what happens when you don't play a strangers call. She steps on one's juicebox and kills it.

17 RepliesEven cooler; Shooting hobgoblins with a side arm prevents them from going into shield mode

Roflmfao......the noob is strong with this one.....

When i was a noob i Thought that Solar weapons do Fire damage over Time :&

When a first person shooter plays any other kind of game... I bet you struggle with the platforming of Destiny, too

I still remember that 1st story mission where you fight waves of vex. It was terrifying shooting off their heads, only to have it piss them off & charge at you. Great mission, & great enemy design.

3 RepliesIdk why it was downvoted. Anyway, yea, if someone was new to the game and happened upon this thread then you helped them out. I am not sure but i think i just went for the glowing abdomen to try it and found that it's a critical. I always wondered if the giant vex minotaurs(or something) had a critical and came to the conclusion that they indeed do NOT. All other vex DO have crits. Harpies are pretty obvious as well as the goblin and goblin sniper.

1 ReplyThe head is precision on taken vex.

1 ReplyThat's cool--I didn't know you could cancel your warlock/Titan jump until like my tenth VOG run. I also didn't figure out TLW was full auto for a while. Oops-ie

4 RepliesEdited by WulfPak666: 4/25/2016 4:05:41 PMDoesn't work on Minotaurs, unfortunately. I love how the moment you shoot off their head.. They haul ass.. Their torch cannon becomes an auto rifle and they are so accurate it feels like an aim bot.
