Just hopped into the game. Came across an FNIX tank. Dropped 2 compressed gas cannisters by its feet. Did essentially zero damage. Dropped another 2. Nothing. Dropped 2 landmines. Nothing. Dumped about 15 rockets onto its vulnerable parts, it started smoking a bit.
Is this what’s considered the explosives being “fixed”?
Lmao! So in other words we won’t be able to fight tanks or anything with explosives for the next month… great! 
If this is truly what it is, I should throw out all my explosives to save inventory space. Also considering the fact the Tanks are now even more deadlier…
I tried this out earlier. Each explosive only caused 1% dmg. Doing way more dmg with smg or assault rifle.
Yeah they seem borked. Damage is definitely not what it should be for them
Same on XB1. I posted video last month showing how to take down a tank with a couple gas canisters, and last night the same technique did nothing. Went through 4 gas/air canisters and about 10 rockets to take it down. Explosions seem to suddenly be super nerfed after the update.
Hi guys, yesterday I did some testings about the damage of explosives, .50 cal and Rocket launcher. To evaluate the damage I used the binocular with the skill that showes the status (enemy helth) in %.
To test I used the Prototype Tank in Östervik between the appartments.
The first shot was a HEDP shot from the Rocket launcher at the hinge of the leg. It did 2% damage.
Well that might fit to the mission where a military squad trires to kill that Tank and said that the HEDP ammo does almost no damage. But how do WE suppose to kill Tanks then?
Next I tried the .50 cal with a FMJ ammo. A shot to the same hinge does 1% damage.
Then I switched to 0.50 cal AP ammo and shoot on the frontal amore plate of the head. It did increadibile 1% damage.
In the stream (here) they said that the .50 cal should not have that much more damage. I don’t like that, those are bullets with a diameter of your finger and they should do more damage. That would also fit to the inventary stacking and drop rate. They stack to 40 while other rifle ammo stacks up to 120 bullets and you can find other sniper ammo much more often than those 3 bullets you’ll get from killing a Tank. If they don’t do much more damage the relation doesn’t really fit here.
Last test was the big gas tank I placed between the legs directly under the tanks head.
It did 1% damage as other guys like Stetson1818 mentioned.
Both weapons are tier 5 (golden level) so the best weapons you can find in the game.
After doing almost no damage with these “super weapons” I switched to the normal assault rifle (tier 3) and pointed the weakspots one by one. After destroying the hinge, the optics on the side and the rocket pot below the head I checked the status agian: 76% :-O.
After shooting a few more bullets at the mounting place of the rocket pot and auto cannon the tank went down. Thats strange that I only had to damageabout 25% and it went down. Maybe that is because he had some amorplates left and that increased its helth counter.
To me that means they’re REALLY tough. Especially after my experience with the prototype version
But my friend and i were able to defeat it
getting damage correct is tricky im sure , and we arent playing robl*x , adjustments are being made sure , but sometimes when you make adjustments you can go over and under until you find the sweet spot. im sure this is not a long time issue.
I wouldn’t count on seeing a fix until the next major patch, which will likely be at the end of June. I’d be surprised to see anything else being released before then other than a patch to fix PS4 issues.
ps4 issues should be top priority and i hear ya.
Agreed. Top priority should be getting PS4 players back online.
I had wondered if the canisters etc had been nerfed as they really didn’t seem to do much damage anymore. You used to be able to place one canister at the foot of a tank and when it exploded the tank would be done. I tried 4 at once and it didn’t take it down. Those tanks are absolute units now, but I guess that’s the point of them.
Like in my original post - I used 4 cans, 2 landmines, and about 15 rockets and all I did was piss the FNIX tank off. I didn’t even manage to kill him as a group of FNIX hunters - also immune to exposive damage - showed up and handed me my ass.
I’ve only played about 1 hour since the latest patch, and I can’t even stand to play it any more. The broken explosives along with the new bugs that were introduced just sucked the fun right out of it for me. I’m going to hold out hope for the June update to fix things. Not holding my breath, but still hoping they can get it right.
Yes you definitely can still defeat them, the problem comes more to solo players, and I literally used 90% of all my bullets from all guns, (I still only have blue weapons, but could take them out easier before update with the blue weapons) and on top of that I used basically all my healing supplies, and I had like 30+ standard first aids which do 50 a pop. I was also getting mortared and shot through the walls of the barn I was hiding in, so that didn’t help any…
They really need to integrate some kind of difficulty levelling across solo play to co-op play. More players, the harder the machines get, but it won’t feel as if they’re walking all over you cause there will be 4 of you.
Haha I was just in a Game and had to use 8 Propane/Red Tanks, one large Fuel Cell, 4 Mines and 4 clips of AH47 to kill one Green Harvester. So resources empty I find out the broke Loot containers and toolboxes have nothing in them and ammo boxes don’t fill back up when I relog and become unsearchable again even though I didnt take anything from them before the relog lol
My friend also lost al his ammo since there was a harvester, runner and hunters after us. All we had left was 1 rocket that defeated the tank
No wait, it was a small emp
Yesterday I killed a few tanks and I run out of ammo too. Half of my inventory is emty now.
Whats pretty cool is that you can now take all propan bottles packed on the pallets in the warehouses so I thougth lets try all of them at once. So I placed one big gas tanks and about 10 red gas bottles. (I really placed 10 or more, I had to walk a few times to get all of them in place) The Tank, military class, walked across them and I shot them. Guess what! It did 4% damage. This huge steel beast had 96% left!!!
