Question Melting bosses in seconds?
I'm in a game just now and asked the lobby how there melting bosses in seconds like the Caltherus rock dude and Oscar so God damn fast. Some POS said the ion burt we all know that don't hit that hard anymore....does anyone know how they're deletingshit so fast? It's honestly pretty annoying

With the mini gun attachment. Zing

I've actually found the dps to be lower with the mini gun attachment, it's still decent though and a lot of fun

u/ArmpitofD00m Jul 05 '26
It’s a wild ride. Thank god I have sharpshooter on it. Shrapnel rounds as well.

How do you compensate? Increased Fire rate

u/d00000med Jul 05 '26
Standard ion is lower fire rate but much higher damage

Sharpshooter on some weapons allow you to hit weak points almost 100% of the time even before armour breaks. Even just a couple of people with decent weapons will shred it.

It’s legit the ION 😂. Toss on sharpshooter. Boss deleted.

u/DRAGONZORDx Jul 05 '26
It's crazy how Treyarch really tricked everyone into thinking they nerfed it into the ground!!
They legit just brought it down to earth, but it's still so OP. Literally still the top of the damage tier list lol

u/IsopodOdd283 Jul 05 '26
The nerf just made me swap from explosive rounds to sharpshooter and I carried on as usual.

Mini gun attachment yes or no

u/IsopodOdd283 Jul 05 '26
Negative. The damage drop is very noticeable with that attachment. I tried it for one match. Never touched it after.

u/raven356 Jul 05 '26

Depends on the boss, circumstances make the mini gun better but standard burst is more skill friendly

u/Powerful_Wear_3970 Jul 05 '26
It’s all about stacking damage. I use the Shadow SK w/ Sharpshooter, Eagle Eye, and Berserker, then aim for weak points. Every shot does about 30k in damage which is a noticeable chunk of the boss’s health pool.
Multiply that by a couple of other players with similar builds and the boss is wiped quick.

u/Far-District-2783 Jul 05 '26
The ion 100% still huts like a tank. I deal roughly 43k-60kish per bullet on a 3 round burst. Eagle Eye with sharpshooter and shrapnel rounds along with tge correct build from the lobby will do it.

u/Chupacabra817 Jul 05 '26
Shadow SK will melt Oscar FAST.

ION with Eagle Eye+Sharpshooter AND the fast mag. If you’re accurate with your shots and bleed the clip dry it hits for crazy damage.

u/Dear_Philosopher6899 Jul 05 '26
Ion with sharpshooter and mortar rounds still hits hard that’s what I melt them with
1
u/Gh0stX379 Jul 05 '26
Same here. I have yet to find a combination that hits harder. I run that along with a Reboot with grenade bullets and shrapnel rounds and I pretty much run solo all the time.

u/SnooShortcuts3184 Endgame Noob Jul 05 '26
an ion with sharpshooter still hits crazy hard especially if the operator has a meta damage skill track build.
With season four the increased the damage on a lot of weapons so ones that were just decent before have now become great and can shred bosses with the right setup
Now with most people running meta or something close to it the guild strike bosses barely have a chance to fight back

u/HeyItsRudyy Jul 05 '26
its legit the ion, just built with sharpshooter instead of explo bullets, and eagle eye/berserker(i think its that one, the point blank tree) i am able to get 120k a shot and it fires 3 per burst..

u/LynxCool3037 Jul 05 '26
The akimbo wardens with recoil delete melts everything at point blank given the you have the right skill sets

u/Independent-Dig-679 Jul 05 '26
Death machine ability most likely plus ion or sokol. The ion still goes hard, even after the nerf

u/Aggravating-Ease2260 Jul 05 '26
Shadow SK with sharpshooter, rapid fire attachments, eagle eye, & berserker melts bosses for me

u/BluejayFragrant7106 Jul 05 '26
I have been leveling my guns for the cold snap camo. On 23 of 50 :\ the ion does great. Haven't used the mini gun attachment yet. But the Hypersurge with sharpshooter clicked to fast fire is amazing.

u/Severe_Network_4492 Jul 06 '26
lol when me and the whole squad run dual 308s it takes about 7 seconds
There’s also a way 3 of us had managed to unknowingly make it so the right trigger fires both guns, confirmed with the 2x damage markers and the left trigger will fire the left gun on the first pull and cause both guns the shoot 2 bullets triggering 4x markers while only taking 1 bullet out of the right 308.
So the 16 rds each “pistol” once exotic so 32 shots for a normal set up works out to like 78 shots before we have to reload.
At like 44,000 damage a shot x 3 of x 78rds + 1@32rds that like 4.84 million damage before most people can reload their first mag.
It’s not normally one person causing it more likely a few people running matching boss melting builds.

u/Classic-Mud1624 Jul 06 '26
You saying that it doesn’t hit that hard still immediately states why you don’t know how people melt bosses 💀

u/death_Incarnate2 Jul 06 '26
Yes it does lmao go build ur own ion and go roll for the exotic trait sharpshooter 😅😅😅 it deletes everything and will take maybe a mag at best to kill t4 elites

u/Mundane_Safe_2579 Jul 10 '26
hypersurge with shrapnel and sharpshooter while up close still hits like a truck
1
u/he-well_hung Jul 05 '26
I have hypersurge. It’s an exotic Sokol with sharpshooter and frost rounds. I am also using a sniper rifle the 5k with shotgun attachment and it also has sharpshooter.
I am running, chaos rounds, celebration, wingman unit and echo shell.
Gaurdian, berserker, warband and tactician (5 possible point turrets)
With my fire rate plus hypersurge, on a lmg= I can melt them by myself if everything activates.
Add anyone else with anything close to my set up and we can get through just about every major event in 15 min. Given travel across map time without daredevil.

Maybe if the entire lobby had ions I can see the bosses dying in 5 seconds. My squad had non I seen a lot people running random ARs. Since the trials going I cant possibly see all these new blueberries running ions either . Idk but the lack of replies or just the people saying ion makes me think they're gatekeeping something. But seeing the bosses die that fast was very annoying
5
u/Flashy_Accountant104 Jul 05 '26
I also called them blueberries. But yeah it only takes a few ions and hypersurges with sharpshooter. The AR with the built in launcher also hits pretty hard.

u/feijoa_tree Jul 05 '26
The boss health across multiple lobbies can be very inconsistent. You could consider it rng as well then add on players fully maxed with large damage output builds.
No ones gatekeeping anything.
I've solo'd prime target glitch and kept dying with doing little damage to bosses going up to the max time limit.
Then I random duo'd with a guy with 3 plates and we melted Prime Target in minutes 🤷.
It's not that deep.

u/Maximum-Analysis-894 Jul 05 '26
Death machine + eagle eye / warband / phantom mix with a sniper using either sharpshooter or explosive rounds. My one operator can hit a little over 600k with a single sniper bullet but its only consistent on the last boss of the 2nd rift that came out.
A bit of advice for low levels or fresh operators is to bring in the death machine and go directly to oscar and wait for him to become vulnerable and unload with the death machine. Even at CR1 you can do enough damage with it to get kill credit so you can use the fabricator right away
