Eos’s last phase…where he is with no shield and at 1/4 Health…
Where he starts throwing the kitchen sink at you: Rockets, Photons, Eye of Helios, Golden Circles of Death…and increases the mobs of Swarmers and Leeches…
It’s really the only time I die anymore and I always try to finish the fight quickly with a corrosive Badaboom and Overcharge.
But Rocket Launcher “spamming” is not allowed in the time trials so I can’t do it my way if I want to enter a submission.
What is the best Non-Launcher weapon for Wilhelm in that last phase if you want to end it quickly???
Corrosive Splitter? What make and model??
Corrosive Bullpup??
Corrosive Pitchfork (if you can get Crits)?
I don’t think a crowdsourcing would outperform a corrosive Bullpup…I could be wrong though…
But a lot of folks don’t have access to the Bullpup…so it’s a good suggestion
Corrosive Shredder with a +10% Lunashine Crit bonus possibly
Or maybe the new Fusilade??
But ARs in this game are so damaged by the lack of a decnt Crit bonus…have never really understood that. It’s like they want to penalize them in BL2 since they were so good in BL1
What about a T4S-r??? I have a redundant and the increased mag version in Corrosive somewhere in a mule…both with a fast Fire Rate The Hyperion Gimmick would lock in on the eye and crits pretty fast I would think…
Corrosive Hail is great on Eclipse…worthless on EOS.
Corrosive Longest Yard Possibly…With Escalation and Targeting Scope specked…Bulwark and Eddie…That should pack a pretty good wallop on a crit
just finished EOS with wilhelm lvl70
got good results with jacobs rustler flyer shotgun, shield of ages(heatsinks),
shock scout sniper(for the eye)
eddy or clear sky OZ kit +48% damage / +52% fire rate after killing swarmer
tried longest yard but is too slow (0.8 fire rate)
i think shock is faster then corr (in the eye)
(with aurelia i always use shock sniper, works very good)
still looking for a faster way to kill him
My fastest kill with just splitters is around 6 min at lvl 70. I’d be really happy if I can go below 5.30min with wilhelm really. Will probably need some smart combination of glitch guns (Red glich on Dahl rail gun maybe? Or yellow glitch on Hyperion railgun?) to win some more seconds, but currently I don’t even know how to get below 6 mins.
I’ve done some testing on glitched railguns, and Maliwan and Hyperion ones had the best result, when you can actually trigger the yellow one. Both can take out Eclipse’s shield in one mag, which is pretty nice. Have you maybe tried a cryo bullpup/company man/thinking with the Ack ack for the last phase? That cryo-explosive combo worked fairly well for my Aurelia on EOS’ health once his shields are down.
The Pitchfork is exactly the kind of gun I was thinking of (yeah, I said Shotguns, but you get my point …it acts like one) 5 pellets per shot, a 5 shot burst with the standard sniper crit bonus… it’s gotta be close to the top.
I wonder how the Viral marketer would do compared to a Bullpup… it’s supposed to not be as good, but ricocheting bullets may have an effect with that big a target… worth a try at least.
Or a Glitched thinking with the loop glitch active ?
The Invader maybe ?
Damn I miss the lyuda
In any case, if you are able to consistently crit against him…can he be frozen ?
A couple trigger squeeze from a Fridgia before switching to the pitchfork could add 200% type A crit bonus.
Another thing to consider… do you spec into Venom bolt ? I wouldn’t usually, but with so many skill points available, and the goal being to speedrun a specific boss… it might be a good place to put 5 points.
Edit: How does a longbow mirv grenade behave on Eos ? is he big enough to take all the flakks ?
Tested 10 Longbow Bonus Packages…with an equipped Bomber Oz Kit
Threw them in quick succession against Eos’s health
Not very effective…
Picked up a Glitched Practicable Corrosive Crowdsourcing form an Ultimate Badass Leech while fighting Eos…with the fire rate as high as the Bullpup. VERY effective but MAN do you run out of shotgun ammo quick!
I’d say for the last phase where his eye is permanently exposed, use a Dahl rail gun vs the shield till it’s down, then grab a kill skill for suppression fire, trigger emergency protocol by stripping your own shield with a tesla or storm front, activate the action skill for overcharge and empty your whole shotgun ammo pool with a triple or quad barrel hyperion shotgun.
I was more thinking of elemental mirvs though, corrosive ones to be precise.
The crowdsourcing is very good but the development is better (same gun but BL2 skin), it retains a much better accuracy and has higher fire rate, but it does less damage.
But so far…my best runs have used the Clear Skies that I switch to as soon as I kill Eclipse.
Oh BTW…safest method to take out Eclipse for a Wilhelm is to face tank him with shock and corrosive Hails. Go to Iron sites and If you can get the arc down so the shots are landing in a tight group on his head…you are doing excellent damage and will beat health gate even if he spams rockets.
