Can someone make a graphic or something and show me where the Stalker cockpit hitbox is? I swear I have shot it and hit a bunch of times, but get no damage on it.

The tiny little window there....thats the head.

And having had mine taken to red on more than a few occasions, it's fairly easy to hit, unless aimbot maybe. Who knows. It's a bigger target than the Atlas cockpit - That's for sure.

Thank you! But... it's so zoomed in, I can't even tell where that is!

its on the center dorsal surface of the phallic protusion. its hard to hit if you are on lower ground than the stalker.

[darkfall13]

Almost on the very top of the center torso; think Dragon.

Perfect, thank you!

Christ that is a small target. Almost as bad as the Atlas's left-eye cockpit.

I suggest you swing around the back of that badboy, you don't ever want to be an easy target for a mech with that many weapon slots!

It is a small target, but at the same time, mine is often damage. If you want to try and hit the cockpit of 'Mechs like the Stalker, use weapons like SRM6s, LB 10-Xs, really anything that has a lot of spread. That is unless you are very surgical with your lasers. Weapons like AC/2s, AC/5s, etc will have a really hard time hitting it.

As a stalker pilot i will give you a hint,never let a stalker have his front torso turned to you or you´re in for a nasty alpha strike!

Like the 6xPPC to the face I've been using recently. Man that's satisfying to melt people with. I call it THOR'S HAMMER.

Just rip the torsos off the stalker. The head box is tiny

Assaults should have hard to hit cockpits.
They're slow, and normally take lots of firepower to kill. Being able to short that by having an easily hit "headshot" target would make assault mechs very worthless.

Anyone who remembers the old Atlas/Awesome cockpit hitboxes can confirm this.

Excuse me? 6x PPC??!?!?! firing an alpha of that should cause you to become a giant glowing nuclear cloud of fun regardless of your heatsink count!

It only works if you're in a premade and effectively being carried.

weirdly i get headshot more by LRMs in the stalker than by anything else. got a feeling the head-hitbox goes along the top of the mech for a little bit.
