Taking down Crushers and Wretches
I’ve been playing the Devoid of Liberty update a decent amount, and have learned some tricks to fighting Crushers and Wretches.
Wretches: Focus on limbs (Dead Space) and if you’re a bad shot (like myself) just shoot and spread your fire, which usually does the trick. Automatic/submachine guns are what you should use. Grenades help out when they’re roaming in packs.
Crushers: Heavy ordinance is literally the only thing that does the trick since Rockets, auto-cannon fire, Patriot suit mini-gun and rocket (pair together) helps out. If you are a good shot, use high armor piercing to break apart the helmet, and then use less powerful guns to shoot the head, their only weak spot. Eagle strikes are good at stunning them, but unless you have a bunch ready to rip, don’t count on them. Orbital strikes appear to work well, but may take a bit, like the orbital laser, which takes a minute to take one out. Don’t prioritize the body, they will heal, unless of course, you are using heavy ordinance.
