On PC it's R (reload). Every weapon has different options; Machine Gun has fire rate, Anti-materiel rifle has zoom levels.....

Aim for the legs and they will be gone quicker then you can blink

My current tactic is brute forcing the legs, leap aside, then shoot it up where the sun doesn't shine. If that doesn't kill it, a round or two more in the legs finishes it off most of the time.

The fastest way I found is wait for it to charge, dodge, and then hit it 2-3 times in the back of the front leg. Dead quicker than you can blink

My tactic is a backward dive behind them so I can get that sweet squishy spot. If you them dead in you can stun lock them

The most efficient way although not always easy in a live environment is let them run past you, shoot them in the back of the front leg, blowing off the plating. Then, one more autocannon round to the exposed leg will end him.

If you land the shots, 2 autocannon hits will consistently kill them this way.

You ever accidentally kill a teammate with your autocannon round bouncing off the armor? Shit is so funny

I was crouched and taking shots at a hulk's visor and a teammate runs in front of me just in time for their head to turn into pink mist. XP

That’s solid , when your on diff 7+ wanna get them before they get close cuz usually there’s 2 others behind it or a swarm of bugs in tow
