    If you have gotten this feat.... and only if you have gotten this feat.

    Would you care to share some knowledge as to how you did it?

    Because we have tried many different ways and it still eludes us.

    And Im starting to think it may be glitched

    No idea...would love a hint or two.

    Only made one attempt at it which didnt work out.

    The only thing I can think of is a 4 DPS setup with everyone hard switching when they spawn.

    Edit: Maybe even 5, I forgot that they come out it pairs sometimes.

    That's interesting I'm actually curious to see someone get this Feat. They do walk around for about 5-10 seconds before they go terrorist on you and that could be enough time for 4 highly coordinated DPS to burn them down. But are they subject to CC, even for 5 more seconds? If so, then this 10 pt. (I think) Feat is plausible, but for right now, it's a myth imo.

    Haven't heard of anyone that's completed it yet

    We've tried on a couple of, unsuccessful, occasions to get this and I've not heard of anyone else achieving it - I dare say it is one of those "future proofed" feats, unobtainable now but made for you to return to it as you get full CR88 if not a few T6 pieces for the higher burst damage.

    ive tried to go for this feat a couple of times and they all turned out to be fail. they spawn an explode way to quick....heck some times they spawn only to take 1 or 2 steps just to explode. for a 10point feat its hard to complete it.

    So Devs could this feat be bugged?

    The closest we've come to getting this feat was when we missed one volatile robot- it didn't die fast enough. I believe it was 3 dps/3 trollers. As soon as they come out, everyone focused on them.

    I guess its just like 15 minute paradox, something thats just not obtainable right now.

    I have not fully tested this theory but I have heard they will not go into "boom boom" mode until they have gotten in the proximity of a player. The only way I can think to test this is to insure all players are out of the circle area during the fight until you focus down the Volatiles from a far. Once you have killed them move as your team wishes until the last add from that wave of spawns is standing. Once that happens move out of the circle area again and wait for the next wave of Volatiles to spawn. Rinse repeat until the Boss is dead.
    This of course only works if the theory is correct that they will only try to blow up once they touch or get in the area of a player.

    We tried it but it was our 4th attempt and the feat didn't pop. We figured it was because you had to get it on the first try. This was before GU32. Haven't tried it since the update.

    It'd be nice if we could get some clarification. We just assumed it was like the Prime feats, gotta get them first try.

    One of my buddies got the feat but it was pure luck.
  15. Elusian Crowd Control

    Yeah it has to be on first try. Otherwise disband and retry lol
  16. BRITTENY Dedicated Player

    Figured :( It was late and we didn't want to go through those rooms again lol.
  17. Elusian Crowd Control

    Thanks for sharing but figured smth. to note which makes it easier (we done it with 4 dps pre-nerf): Tank should move the boss to the left or right entrance corner so the group can stick to the middle and reach volatiles easier. Also makes it easier to reach Supply Drops.

    General notes: 3rd wave doubles the amount of Volatiles - kill them - and boss should be down to 30% around, just drop everything and ignore any other upcoming volatile and focus burn, you will be fine even when a Volatile spawns, your burn should be high enough to kill him before he goes to explode.

    Or just get 2 Nature DPS (yeah fill the other spots with whatever XD) in and laugh at OP Harvest as done on EUPC lol

    So you guys get it? They explode as soon as our powers hit them. In the video above it looked like the exploded weird.

    this sounds like a good task for armories, no?
