Hi, is there anyhow that can give me a video that show how to reliably double clip a monster (FSC zombie preferably) using regular alchemer shots. I can only achieve less than 1 out of 10 shots. Thanks in advance.
Alchemer self ricochet.
If you are aiming north at a zombies coming straight down, shoot it's left hand. You'll ricochet most of the time, or aim it slightly more to the right, to the edge of it's left hand.
I'm curious on this as well. Are there any other tactics for lumbers/jellies/other slow monsters? Does the left side always work better than the right?
Hi, i have already aim to the right and aim at the zombies' left hand but more often than not it just bounce back to me and not internally. It is not 50-50 or 3/5 like some people claim to achieve. So i hope there is a short demonstrative video to see what the real clipping look like.
What you can do is stand in advanced training hall and shoot at a wall, noting the angles it bounces off at. Then go shoot the thingies across from the vials as practice. You can watch all the videos you want, but it's practice you need.
Another thing you could keep in mind of is hitboxes. Monsters have areas where they are hit, and areas that seem like they occupy, but actually don't. The slightly tilted plane also makes shooting to the left or right somewhat messy if you aren't used to it. If you envision the hitboxes of a monster and then shoot accordingly, it might help. Something else you can do it kite to the left, that way you are turning the hitbox towards you, to catch the ricochets.
Above all, practice. Notice your positioning and the monsters positioning when you do get a ricochet, and recreate that. Perhaps you shot more to the right. Perhaps you angled yourself against the enemy. Maybe you utilized a wall so the ricochet can bounce back on the monster.
Do the ricochets do more damage that the actual gun shots?
No. Each ricochet does regular damage.
on which side (Left or right) you have your gun, if you have it to the left then aim for the right of the enemies (in their shoulder). thats it
your guns switches sides while you're moving (A,D with dirrectionals) for to long

aim a little bit to the right? seeing as alchemer shots always bounce to the left. You have to take off auto aim to do this.
