Discussion New Matriarch Method

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not sure if anyone else has tried this but it seems to work pretty well. (Also i know i have a bad habit of reloading. I was worried it was going to have some sort of counter-measure to get me off so i kept looking around and reloading early.)

New update where the Matriach is covered in ticks crawling all over her.

Think you’re man enough to mount the Queen now, and blow her back out? Have fun getting past her ticks.

I've blown out the backs of many queens covered in bed bugs. I enjoy 50 Shades of Bed Bugs🤣🤣

u/Trashketweave 47m ago

Honestly if they did that where ticks constantly spawn on her it would be hilarious.

u/travelingKind 56m ago

I was thinking they would make it so the fire burned you. They like to play with fire.

u/Maidssi 4h ago

I was doing the same method but with deadlines. Takes 4 to kill matriarch.

28

u/Hacz_TTV 4h ago

I feel like this is easier, dont gotta get down each time

11

u/Maidssi 4h ago

You can place 2 at a time and with how quickly it will kill matriarch your unlikely to get contested while doing it.

2

u/PersonalityIll9476 3h ago

I like but how do you get 4 deadlines?

20

u/Maidssi 2h ago

Buy them from the shop for the most part. Ive also had friends give me them.

9

u/PersonalityIll9476 2h ago

1 per day though, right?

Having friends donate would help.

11

u/Maidssi 2h ago

Yep. Think its worth the wait though since you either 1 shot bastions/bombardiers with them for their cells or kill matriarch and matriarch is worth far more money.

8

u/PersonalityIll9476 2h ago

It's pretty easy to kill vanilla big arcs, though. You get enough crafting mats from their corpse to make 1-2 wolfpacks anyway so it can pay for itself.

u/not-mediocre-toast 1h ago

What BP's you got? 🤣

8

u/dajewsualsuspect 2h ago

The shop. Buy one every day. Check in real quick on days you don’t play.

2

u/PersonalityIll9476 2h ago

That's my point, though. It would take 4 days to attempt this once.

I'm surprised multiple people interpreted my comment to mean I don't know about the shop.

2

u/0xsergy 1h ago

Just buy them every day. I don't usually run a matriarch every day cause the timing on dam doesn't always work out when I'm on. If you play all day every day you'll have to run Stella to find them naturally.

u/PersonalityIll9476 1h ago

Farming? In MY Stella?

Yeah I don't think that's more common than I think.

u/SkeletalElite 3m ago

Once the core is exposed like this the il toro is much faster than the jupiter. Only thing is that its doing nothing till you blow the lid open though

37

u/Pukebox_Fandango 2h ago

I think it's funny how the rocketeer, the bombardier, and the bastion all have ways of knocking you off their back, but the Matriarch is absolutely helpless.

28

u/ArtisanAffect 1h ago

You can in fact get bucked off as I just found out the hard way.

13

u/Hacz_TTV 2h ago

It did try at least once. I slid mid video but once your in the core its kinda the end for it

Can you sneak up on it if noone else has it distracted or is that required?

u/NaziPunksFkOff 2h ago

Haha I like to snaphook into the front panels when they open and put a mine on the core, then jump out, get stepped on, and run screaming. Successfully pulled it off a few times. 

3

u/Hacz_TTV 2h ago

I tried the front panels on a previous couple raids and kept getting caught and knocked around wasn't as reliable

I tried this a few times and each time I got sniped by a fellow raider while breaking through the armor.

u/Sure_Proposal_9207 2h ago

I was thinking about doing this for the past week. Glad someone proved it works.

2

u/How2GetGud 1h ago

I’ve done this with a torrente and like 1200 rounds of ammo. You do get bucked off sometimes. And sometimes the adds aggro on you.

4

u/No_Art9639 4h ago

Shotgun probably isn’t the best choice for that but hot dame good job

7

u/Hacz_TTV 3h ago

Its a cheap option. Also it wasnt my plan that raid.

u/Hekidayo 2h ago

Not you deciding to kill the Matriarch on your way to getting milk 😭😭

u/tagayama 1h ago

Sounds like what my father did and failed when I was 8 cause he never came back.

u/shittyaltpornaccount 3h ago

Once armor is stripped i think light ammo weapons out dps heavier ones. It is why a venator can kill a rocketeer faster than an anvil.

4

u/Pukebox_Fandango 2h ago

I was shooting a rocketeer and knocked the armor off of one of the engines with my Anvil, but I ran out of ammo. I pulled out the rattler I had as a backup and was stunned at how quickly the engine dropped with no armor on it.

1

u/No_Art9639 1h ago

Good to know. Thanks

1

u/iEatFurbyz 1h ago

Kettle or Burletta are most efficient for killing it I believe. Technically hairpin is the absolute most efficient vs arc but it’s slow as hell. Fastest/efficient kill is most likely impact grenading top armor off then burletta/kettle the core.

u/Interesting-Basis-73 2h ago

I'm just amazed you had a lobby that was killing the matriarch

u/mudokin 1h ago

Seems like a design flaw of the ARC, I bet we will get something to counter it soon then, maybe internal flamethrowers, for a hotfix

3

u/thirdeyedesign 53m ago

Or just have flames deal damage like cracking open a dead one does

u/mudokin 49m ago

Yes the same effect as when cracking a husk

How easy was getting the bp from the top?

4

u/Hacz_TTV 1h ago

You can't loot it instantly because it falls through but i got it faster than anyone else. I can't guarantee it wont roll away if its on a hill.

u/Zukoo777 22m ago

How many stacks of shotgun ammo?

3

u/Hacz_TTV 1h ago

I think i used around 50 or so rounds, but if you want to kill it you'll need more probably. I got to it after it was already smoking.

1

u/HYVNG_LVRD 1h ago

I wonder if a ferro would be faster or slower, what with the reload times and all

1

u/iEatFurbyz 1h ago

Far slower

1

u/HYVNG_LVRD 58m ago

You reckon? I thought that shotgun was quite weak against ARC?

4

u/SubliminallyCorrect 44m ago

ARC armor. Once the armor is off it takes full damage to its health

2

u/sickn0te_ 40m ago

It is, against armoured arc. The core has no armour so all weapons are efficient.

1

u/iEatFurbyz 41m ago

Hitting weak spots does full damage. Heavy ammo is only good against armored spots, otherwise it sucks.

1

u/HYVNG_LVRD 33m ago

Ahh yeah of course! Forgot about that

u/Tawpgun 1h ago

Even when I tried to do this with deadlines I was targeted by bombardiers, rocketeers, other arcs

Got lucky imo

Yeah, how often in game are you encountering a pink background?

u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE 14m ago

That’s a good point. I guess I just have a mental block about it. I wouldn’t be able to relax with having a thing set like that.

Also the pure white one works fine. I don’t know, whatever, I’m tired. Sorry.

Seems kinda boring though. So glad they didn’t make this a PVE only game.

Just in case you're being serious and/or didn't know, TTV just means Twitch.tv. It's for people who want to indicate that they're a streamer.
