So is it just me or are Spiders super hard to kill now?
I have no problems with any other lights...spiders? They kill me EVERY time in any mech and they seem to be able to take crapton of damage.
Anyone else noticed this?

Spiders have been made much larger in physical size with unchanged quirks.

They are easier to kill now.

Where are you aiming at them and are they jump jetting when you are shooting at them with lasers?

if you are having trouble with Spiders aim for the legs, the Spiders torsos have always been way more durable than a 30 tonner has any right to be but the legs are the week spot, just please do not tell anyone, because I love piloting my Spiders and murdering slow (70kph or below) Mechs who seem unable to hit me and seldom put any significant armor on the back.

True. But most other lights became immensely easier to kill, so that the SDR seems harder to kill by comparison.

That's the way to do it. Only time you should try hitting their torsos IMO is when you have Gauss + PPC or a very high damage from autocannons (35+)

Spider leg hit boxes are still larger than the model. Shoot of the legs the fall right off.

The Spider had to be nerfed. It was devastatingly effective with its small size, quirks, and 6 MGs.
