I usually play Bethesda games on the easiest difficulty because it feels more realistic for enemies to die quicker.
However I’m still struggling with the combat in this game. Some enemies still feel like bullet sponges despite me being on “very easy” mode.
I notice they have perfect aim from a distance while I struggle to get hits on them. Anyone else?
Or anyone have tips for how they’re approaching combat?
I did just watch a clip of someone on normal difficulty and their enemies were taking just as long to kill as mine were on very easy.
Do they have red bars under their white bar?
Those are legendary dudes. They have 3 fucking health bars and are also stronger and tougher than your average goons. Even on the easy difficulties, they are bullet sponges. And this is also pretty normal since Skyrim introduced legendary type enemies.
Personally, I pretty much only use Kore Kinetic weapons since they have the highest DPS. The MagShot revolver can practically 1 shot even legendary dudes 20 levels higher than you, and I have an instigating one so it does double damage if they are at full health.
Also make sure you pay attention to the level of the system you’re in. The further you go from the start, the higher the difficulty gets. If you just took off to the outer reaches of the galaxy right from the start, everything is gonna be 40-50 levels higher than you, and even an easy enemy will be a strong as fuck bullet sponge.
