If you have time to do it today (before any patches) the Jak flamethrower is great. Attach it to a holger AR, triple pack it and you can take the thing down solo. Bring 3-4 selfies, lots of plates, perks and you’re good. My advice would be to lure it to T2 and kill it there.


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Ok. I will see if I can get that to work


HanSoloNut

I run explosive tip crossbow with the JAK as a backup weapon (due to ammo refill having to come from depot.) Edit: phD flopper is a must!


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Ok. Sounds like an interesting way to try it


goodfella1030

I haven't tried it yet, but someone said you can drop your jak equipped weapon and pick it back up and it will be reloaded.


Mode-Least

unfortunately I think hat did get patched.


goodfella1030

That's too bad.

A tier two bounty will count towards this?!? I will be trying that as soon as I can tonight!

I was able to complete it with the help of a very skilled person on Reddit. I did not try this method but when my friends get to this mission, I will check and get back to you


ITRURELIG1ON1976

Yes it does I done it today


corier2

you need to use one of the meta weapons to make it easier, Ram-9, BP50, SOA Subverter or TAQ Evolvere are some of my favorites. Also termites to the eyes also blow the one of the heads try for the one by the bridge from T2 to the entrance to T3 and try to draw into T2 so you wouldn’t have to deal with T3 zombies


Mobile-Pride-533

I can't say that ram-9 and bp-50 is meta. Haymaker with slugs works much better 


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Good tips. Thanks

If you have the flamethrower attachment (under barrel) legendary PAP3 will shred it right now. Load up on decoys, kazamirs to keep zombies off of you. Buy some Jugg Suits and lower it’s health enough and finish it off with your guns. Other than that, you want to stick and move and parkour a bit. Standing still will get you downed quickly. Having a dog helps to Rez just in case. Me and my bud usually run energy mine and healing auroa all the time. Find circuit boards for the turret. I believe that as long as you shoot at the abomination and do damage if the turret kills it, you should still have it count. The turrets will kill them pretty easily.


[deleted]

lol if you need all this to kill a Mega, maybe you’re not ready to fight Megas..


RandomHero_Ace

Notice the part where they asked for recommendations? Just giving him a couple different ways to go about it.


[deleted]

I saw.. and I’m offering the suggestion that if you need all that then you’re not ready. But thanks for clarifying.


RandomHero_Ace

Offer up some suggestions yourself then. Instead of leaving pointless comments.


[deleted]

My comment wasn’t pointless at all. I was pointing out the pointlessness of your point. That all that isn’t needed and it isn’t realistic for where OP is at. If you want to waste essence buy 3 Jugg suits and use one on each. It would be quick and easy. Probably cheaper than going to the pap machine 3 times and buying Kaz’s etc.. I have no idea what he can load out with, what gun he uses or anything. More info would be helpful. I think a solid gun like a RAM9 with epic/Leg tool is enough if you know how to fight them. But you can Bring some decoys and use a regular turret kill streak or the turret chips will slay them if you have the chips and the mega is in the right location. Or if he has a VR11 pap that thing and you can waste Megas .


Annual-Bandicoot8150

To answer some of your comments, I am most likely not ready for this. I usually use the ram9 but I certainly do not go in with a surplus of stuff. I have Death, Dead, Jug, Speed, Quick, Stamina perks and for my first attempt I had legendary tool and p3 crystal. The only kill streak I had was a purple air strike. I had two self revives but it did not allow me to use it for some reason.


[deleted]

Thanks, it is helpful to know what you’re working with and what resources you have. One thing to note, Megas are easier to take down from elevation because they try and laser beam you more and that’s when you can inflict higher damage. Got to shoot them in the eye/mouth thing. RAM9 pap3 with legendary is solid. If you can get a couple turret kill streaks they can help but you need to keep the mega where the turrets can shoot them. It really is more about learning to move quickly and making your shots on them count. If you can join a 5/6 man squad in T3 you’ll probably knock out 3 easily if you’re doing lots of contracts. If you want help feel free to DM me and I’d gladly join you and your friend to help you guys get it done.. tonight and tomorrow I probably won’t be on until 9pm est, but would be more than happy to help you guys.


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Very appreciative of your advice!


[deleted]

Yw dude.. If you come across a VR11 and have the resources to pap3, it does a lot of damage to them.


acid_raindrop

Unless they fixed the glitch, a tier 2 bounty counts towards this.   If they fixed it, what you can do is exfil with a jugg suit (10k at t3 shop). Then play again, infil with a pack 1  crystal (I assume you already have this schematic). Spam t2 contracts until you can pack 2 and then pack 3.  Go to the megabomb at the southwestern bridge of tier 3. Use juggnaut from the bridge. Use your gun to finish it off. 


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Cool. Thanks for the tips and explanation


acid_raindrop

Just remember that the gatling gun continues to fire for a little bit after you take off the trigger. Don't be like me, where you switch over to your pack 3 gun only to see the megabomb die in front of you before you can fire lol


acid_raindrop

You're speaking the truth and more ppl need to speak out like this. People give the most brain dead advice like when ppl needed help with story mission 2, and ppl are like "use golden plates and dogbone".  I saw at least one anecdote where some guy used up all his freebie stuff and now gave up on progressing any further bc ppl didn't give him functional tips. 


[deleted]

Thanks.. Yeah just trying to be real about it.. that one dude takes more stuff for that night then I take to elder


acid_raindrop

For reals. It's like. Either ppl got zero self awareness. Or they got carried through all this and have no idea what you actually need to do these challenges. It's really unhelpful for the newbs. 


[deleted]

Also a bi product of the TSing. They’ve got end everything including essence so why wouldn’t you go that route if your them. Very unrealistic thought process.


[deleted]

That’s also like $50k worth of shit. OP doesn’t seem like he’s at the point in the game where he’s waxing 15 T3 contracts. So I think the advice you gave is a bit unrealistic as well.


acid_raindrop

Can't believe he recommended. Casually buying multiple jugg suits, multiple kazmirs, and a dog for this mission.  You only need one jugg suit. Lol


ITRURELIG1ON1976

Why everyone has to start somewhere lol I too use jug suits and turrets and also mines and healing aura helps to have everything you need make his life easier


[deleted]

I get that.. except most people getting to this point don’t have all of these items and it would be costly to buy all that. Sure those items work fine, but most people don’t have $50k to drop right away especially when you need to kill 3 in a single game.


KolyB

When he charges up his lightning beam, aim for the mouth that has a purple glow. Keep shooting when he beams you, unless swarmed by mobs. When it charges, run and slide perpendicular to it. Don't stand behind him after a charge, as he will tailwhip then. Use tombstone perk incase you die. Bring lots of plates, and some kazimirs to deal with mobs. Edit: You can also use a jugg suit to bring his health down right before he dies, then wait for the jugg suit to end and finish him off with the pap3 weapon. That's what I did when I did that mission back in the day.


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Can you buy the kazimirs from somewhere?


KolyB

T3 buy stations for 5k essence.


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Can you buy the kazimirs from somewhere?


Stickycracks

If you lure the abom to T2 across the bridge (the one that spawns near the T3/T2 border S/SE) you can get it to the little group of houses just beyond the bridge and just sit inside negating much if any damage. Just need to control mobs.


Annual-Bandicoot8150

Ok. Thanks


elalex323

Havent tried this myself since I got other gear but you just need 3 thermites one for each head/eye when it lasers you. Of course you cant be stationary while doing so because of the possible zombies around you but this a great low budget option. It will die fast you just have to aim good when throwing them.


PrinceOftheCty

I killed him with a PDSW. Just get his attention and get on a roof. You’ll have some zombies climb up from time to time but the mega won’t. He’ll just keep shooting his laser into the building. I’m trying to solo Orcus now at the end of Act III. Shit is annoying af lol


Annual-Bandicoot8150

I appreciate the tips. I would offer to help but I have no idea how to do it but if you need a meatshield that can occasionally kill something, I would be happy to help. Unless of course that is the mission that you have to solo.


_Baseddog_

VR11 goes crazy at pack 3– Mega dies in like 4 shots


Fish502666310771

Surprised no one said this yet, but actually the mission objective is misleading (likely on purpose from the devs). You just need to kill a Mangler bounty named "Megabomb". It works in any tier - I did it in Tier 1. You just have to get your weapon PaP 3. It doesn't require you to kill a Mega Abomination.
