Would you recommend leech with 4 T punisher against shell, + lock down ammo, 200-250 m? Or igniter? Which weapon would you recommend?

4 Pun TS’....I like it! Here is my Shell killer:  Of course, when it comes to Shell, Hawk, Phantom, Scorpion, Ares, Ravana, etc.....then  does the trick......like this:  I hear rockets are good, too...and fire bypasses physical shield. But, kinetics are very satisfying to me, anyways! |

Anything with physical shields. The answer is always exodus.
Best in 3's.
I have a Leo that is my shell killer. His top mounts are a glacier and rime. Side mounts are pinatas.
Cryo weapons only on trigger#2.
Fire cryos one second before all weapons fire. Snowflake fills before pinatas fire.
Brings back the insta- death effect from old deathbutton Griffin days.

I`ve found the best strategy so far against Shells, especially the ones with sonics, to be turn and run but then they just catch you up anyway and then your dead.

I replaced lasers on my Fenrir to try something out, and it works well. Although it gets hammered by them sonic Shells, but what isn’t. As it is a cheap weapon I’ll take the thunder to 2.12 next upgrade 25% off.  |

 With the buff to flamethrowers, this build is really effective against shells and everything else. You have to learn to lead the target a lot but I think that’s fun. Fast bots like blitz are pretty frustrating though. |

I second or third the flamethrower recommendation. My igniter ravana is a nightmare for shells.

Have zeus on him now and is nice but I feeling for more dynamic damage dealin. I like avalanche for having 3 on fury. That work well, yes but I also think alot about the build you saying. I worry about locking him foot to the ground to use all four gun. I love exodus and have many high level but I would never dare use them on behemoth for thinking he too slow for them close up weapon unless he for suicide run. You brave for that lol. What is you plan for dealing with hawk scorpion or other fast bot while using splash behemoth? |

Fast bots like blitz are pretty frustrating though. yes is what make me put down flame for weapon. I good with splash so was thinking flame to be easy next step to learn but is not so. Flame player must be good with flame. Fast bot bust me up when mi try use flame so them just collect dust in the closet. Flame too expensive for upgrade to deal with that headache is what I think. But them guy get good with flame is player to stay far away from in battle because they will fry yu birdnest extra crisp lol what is the worst thing ever? is fast bot with flame. make yu yell out a string of cussin real fast lol |

I found that kinetic shottys are pretty good against shells. I run my own shell(1.6) with thunder(1.12) and ardent gust(1.6) and it does a ton of damage against their shields. But one thing that always kills me are punishers and the leadhose family. Once they get within 200m my shield doesnt exist

What is you plan for dealing with hawk scorpion or other fast bot while using splash behemoth? Stay next to cover, and stay out of range of Scorpions. Phaseshift helps with hawks. And I've been experimenting with the Cloak module as well.
Exodus Behemoth is actually quite fun in Beacon Rush. Drop it in on a contested beacon with cloak and phaseshift. LOL.... Adrian currently runs one on his personal account.
It's brutal.

Have no fear! Pix is no doubt coming up with a special anti Shell weapon as you read this.
Of course it will instantly kill any non Shell robot you shoot at but that will just be a side effect.

The best ways to deal with Shells are with Flamethrowers or Cryogenic rockets, those weapons completely bypasses physical shields. If you can't use that then regular rocket launchers will work too. (Especially Exodus, a single maxed Exodus after the recent buff will have over 150k full clip damage. I'd say it's better than the Glacier in some situations. Beware the reload though.) Still can't do those? Then go with leadhose, dirt cheap and does immense damage to any physical shields, make sure to level them high (easy because Punishers are very cheap) and get Sharpshooter and Speedshooter. A robot with 4 maxed Punisher Ts can break a maxed Arthur shield with just a single clip, that's how effective Punishers are for breaking physical shields.
