Do you mean your Center Torso keeps getting hit? You can help prevent this by torso twisting, which means that you take some of the shots on your side torsos and arms. Also keep in mind that while Atlases are tough, they aren't that tough - it's still a good idea to use cover, stick with your group, try not to fight too many enemies at once, and the like.

Are you saying that you have been killed via headshot (destruction of cockpit) 67 times?
You are incredibly unlucky, that thing's almost impossible to hit.

Seriously, even if someone was hacking the OP wouldn't run into them 67 times.

errr.....

I believe that you are experiencing what can happen to newer players. You are piloting a SLOW Mech. Do NOT scout, let someone else find the enemy. Every time you poke your head out someone more experienced will try to shoot it off. Stopping when you are not behind cover is also a mistake. As a pilot of the biggest target in the game you need to show yourself at the right time and with support. Then you can soak some damage and take out the enemy.

right now sniping is big....watch out!

Atlas is too weak... In the hands of fools with an invincibility complex.

There, finished that for you!

It's not your mech, it's you.

You gotta at least pretend a tiny bit that you're not trolling us.

67 times? I don't think I have been killed with head shots even 17 times in over well 1000 drops and I use mechs that are easier to headshot than an Atlas.

When the enemy sees your lone Atlas appearing over a hill in a flanking position, it should go like this:

wait......... in a row?

A disconnected target is easy to headshot.

Contrary to popular belief, equipping forest camo and standing in the trees WILL NOT hide you from the other team.


No but seriously, that's some really bad ******* luck man I feel for ya

I love the Atlas

100 ton mech with 50 ton firepower

[StandingCow]

Keep moving, use cover, torso twist in between your shots.

What is this I don't even

The Atlas is the king of Battlemechs. It should be like this:
