Howling Mine Shifters

Haven’t been able to locate any info on this. Just curious if anyone knows what damage type these mobs are doing?

I’m not sure since I’ve not done testing but my Ghost does decay while my Apocalypse does not. So electric and/or cold. Being in space I’m wildly guessing cold?

Edit: My Mk. 6B does decay so they do some electric for sure.

Ok ty, I finished the mission but I was taking some good damage in Adj. Angel but I didn’t bring any plates with me to test it.

So I asked another player up here who had some cold plates, which didn’t seem to decay so they’re most probably doing 100% electric

Interesting…thanks for the reply!

There are a few electric plates in HM auction. Just in case :slight_smile:

So these are pretty much 100% elec

I’ve done a hell of a lot of testing on these guys

Biggest issue with them is the loot table

Considering they are so difficult and require good armor for L13 Young’s

I have Codex L11 on these so I’ve killed a fair few

This is literally all they drop… Most of it isn’t even used anymore

For one of the most unique mobs in the game and in one of the most unique locations. This is shit and unacceptable.

At the very very very least, they should drop some Scottium, they live in a cave with the shit.

The moment Scott is added 50 or more macro users just farm 24/7 killing space further. I do agree their loot needs tweaking. Could have clicks of space stuff as a rare drop and other things related to space mining.

They do NEVERDIE so dirty

I absolutely get what you mean, but there is no way bots would be able to farm there effectively. Get mobbed by a couple of them and your armor will decay more than the scot you get.

Plus I would snitch and grief them like nobody’s business. and to be honest, bots are already busy farming tier comps and other shit that have a better MU than Scottium anyway, so I doubt they’d take the travel risk for some blue gold. I think even the Argo outrunners have a better loot table.

I suppose you take the risk of bots with any mob with something nice on the loot table.

These just suck so fukin bad and could be so, so good

Just read their incredibly well written lore and some other Howling Mine related things for visibility xD
