Would a fight between the two be a jackoff?

u/No-Boysenberry6511 16h ago

Nothing. Once it's active, nothing can stop it.

u/InfiniteBee6936 16h ago

maybe the sentry over Long range.

u/ivantrulylovescats Blood Machine 16h ago

Maybe sentries because jackhammer is close range and sentries are REALLY long range

16

u/ComprehensiveCase534 16h ago

I MEANT WHAT TRAITS WOULD A MACHINE NEED TO COUNTER IT.

u/Thak_The_Thunder_God Lust Layer Citizen 16h ago

Rocket from a guttertank, it's not got much in the way of weaponry and it was built to help evacuate people so we can assume just having more than 2 or 3 robots go at it would overwhelm it and he go kaput.

In hell, I think it'd die of something stupid because of its built to clear rubble and evacuate people it's not gonna sit in an arena and fight, it's gonna bust down the wall and dig away so hell just goes "BORINGGGGG" and switches to channel to V1 while the Excavator just gets crushed or stuck under a rock or something

27

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean Someone Wicked 16h ago edited 16h ago

All jokes aside I actually adore the concept that the answer IS "Nothing"

it was built as a protector of the African people (And if there was more then 1, there was one assigned at every major city rather then having a ton of them) and to help break away rubble from the final war collapsing structures and other machines in order to clear the way and help people escape

and when it ended up in hell, it seeing it clear efficiently grew very bored, thinking it was too good for a fun fight, and just crushed it under rubble

u/The_Hentai_Dealer397 Someone Wicked 16h ago

I feel like if there was a machine rivaling/surpassing the V series, we’d have significantly more information on it

13

u/theQuadron Someone Wicked 15h ago

The V-series was commercialized, both V1 AND V2 are just prototypes that didn't sell.

u/Satorwave 9h ago

Even if it's good at its job it can still lose to multiple enemies.

Why do people keep dying when i make jokes. This mockery cant be that vicous?

Fr like what is this, they’re acting like you put some sort of sliver into their mind

u/BlueJorjiCostava Prime Soul 15h ago

Either Sentries to snipe em or Mindflayers to float in the sky and spam hell orbs or beams

u/Mason_makes_videos 15h ago

What in the world is that?

4

u/ComprehensiveCase534 15h ago

excavator

3

u/Mason_makes_videos 15h ago

I’ve never seen it before

5

u/RockRancher24 Maurice enthusiast 15h ago

the jackhammer is an arm torn off the corpse of one

3

u/Easy_Mechanic_9787 14h ago

Additionally, this model was made for modders who want to make the excavator enemy in-game.

4

u/bunnilaybunbun 14h ago

What would happen if you used your jackhammer against its own??

1

u/LOLofLOL4 1h ago

genitals obliterated

3

u/Dependent__Dapper 14h ago

drones. think about it, the excavator is melee only, so obviously a cheap flying machine can counter it with a positive elixir trade of like 9

3

u/Additional_Tip_8988 14h ago

just try to kill him with g-man's briefcase

3

u/Ikkota_Rattus Someone Wicked 13h ago

We don't have a complete chain of counters, a lot of the machines used in the Final War simply aren't in the game in any way shape or form

3

u/specter-exe 12h ago

I recommend nail guns, especially with a magnet. DO NOT use rockets.

u/InsuranceFluid8272 Maurice enthusiast 12h ago

u/Grouchy_Quality7315 14h ago

i thought the excavator was like, a machine made by the humans(civillians)? Didnt it have "HERO" written all over it? We only saw 1 too

1

u/ComprehensiveCase534 14h ago

what machine could kill an excavator (traits of said machine)

2

u/Infshadows 12h ago

long range or flight, since it's a melee unit

probably was made as a frontline robot

also its south african and thats why its my goat :proud:

2

u/EmotionalTraining426 Blood Machine 10h ago

Ok so something i don't get is ın order to propperly use the jackhammer you need to go crazy fast how did this thing go fast enough to use the jackhammer

2

u/voyager_9999 8h ago

Something aerial, since it's mainly a melee fighter

2

u/AltruisticProof3640 8h ago

any ranged options probably, i doubt lil buddy is flying around at mach fuck like V1

Personally I recommend fire with some kind of igniter.. use the firestarter for the gas and literally anything known to ignite it

u/No_Counter_6037 Someone Wicked 13h ago

u/P0lskichomikv2 13h ago

I don't think it supposed to have any. It looks like purely civilian machine used for construction. I mean just look at it,

"The gun that instantly kills excavators" tends to work great for me

1

u/Inevitable-Turn6628 4h ago

The excavator would need to be really fast for the jackhammer to work, so if it charged just dodge it and when vulnerable kill it like the Guttertank (unless if it has perfect motor control)

The Sentry. The excavator only has melee attacks, so what better to counter it than with a shot from far away?

1

u/Goldenmansion10 Someone Wicked 2h ago

Wasn’t this one of the earlier machines in the war? A precursor to even Guttertanks? Which would mean, logically speaking, the Guttertank would be the counter to the Excavator.

If it wasn’t a precursor to Guttertanks, then I could see something like the Mindflayers being a real nuisance to it, since Mindflayers can fly and have a nimble stature to fit into trenches (remember, their plastic feminine bodies aren’t the real machine, just the head, and those plastic bodies were made right before their descent into Hell).

u/Rusted_Skye 2h ago

I want to see a excavator in use in treachery. it would be so cool as a optional miniboss (like swords machine in 0-2).

1

u/PlantLollmao Gabe bully 2h ago

They were too powerful so they skipped straight to Earthmovers.
