This is how you deal with a Sunbreaker.

  • How did that kill? He looked like he was full health. Did the first shot lag and not register until the second?

  • Now that I look at it closer, it seems as if the activation of the super completely renders the first round null and void. The second shot causes all the damage and is read almost immediately by the game.

  • I'm unsure but that's a reasonable explanation. Either that or that second shot was exceptionally strong.

  • What? Get lucky that he's a terrible Sunbreaker who misses at point blank range?

  • If this class is as 'broken' and 'unbalanced' as people claim then he would have won the engagement. His lack of skill isn't my problem--I'm simply providing a solution that everyone seems to believe doesn't exist.

    And in the exact same situation, I would have slaughtered you if I were that Sunbreaker. I don't know how anyone could miss a hammer at that close of a range. You didn't even blink or Shadowstep to confuse him. He was just plain bad. The point is you got really lucky and your vid doesn't really show how to reliably kill Sunbreakers in HoS at all.

  • If you say so, but that's missing the entire point of the clip.

    I'm not missing any points at all. There is no point to be made that is at all relevant.

  • Yes there is: Sunbreakers aren't invincible killing machines, which appears to be a widely proclaimed fact on the forums. There was slight evidence of that during the first shot which went completely unnoticed by the Titan, but then the second shot dashed all of that away in a hurry.

    Okay and? I never said they were invincible and that isn't what the OP is arguing. So something like that is irrelevant to the post. I've killed a few Sunbreakers in HoS myself. So far it has always taken me 2 shots with a sniper rifle (one of which is a headshot) or me using HoS back against them. I also managed to kill one once with two direct hit shadowshots. Unfortunately I still died in that one because the suppression takes about two seconds, even after a direct hit, to activate.

  • It's quite relevant, actually, because this supposed tanking ability is one half of the entire Sunbreaker argument, the other being their offensive capabilities. The point being made here is that you can avoid all of that simply by shooting them, as I demonstrated. It isn't hard.

  • You didn't die because he missed his hammer. You got lucky. Countering a super should never rely on blind luck

  • There is no 'luck' here. Luck would involve me taking a hammer to the face, somehow surviving it and then killing him to escape with my life intact. He missed and I didn't, it's as simple as that.

  • Where did luck factor in there? You aim a gun and fire it.

  • He was lucky that he was right there when the super was activated. He was lucky that he had an OP shotgun with him He was lucky that the sunbreaker missed his first hammer

  • I've done the same to Sunbreakers whose super was already well established. I wasn't 'lucky' to be in effective killing range of a CQC weapon; as the video clearly shows, I was pursuing the Titan. And him missing isn't my fault, nor is my positioning his; I played my card and he played his. Once again, the point of the clip went completely over someone's head.
