| Description | |||
| The Chimera Project is the crowning achievement of phase one of Dr. Moorcroft's Mire research. This genetic fusion of several disloyal R&D Red scientists is capable of both incredible physical force and keen analytical thinking. IT also portrends a new wave of human experimentation that could have dangerous future consequences. | |||
How to Beat Chimera
Chimera Tips
|
◆ Attack glowing critical zones for extra damage.
◆ Destroy Mire energy balls to stop zed spawns. ◆ Avoid ground tentacle projectiles by sidestepping or jumping. ◆ Executes downed players during phase two. |
Aim at the Critical Zones
The Chimera will have multiple Critical Zones and with its massive frame, you can use Aim Down Sights (ADS) to target its forearms, chest or its head.
Aiming for the chest would be more recommended as some guns have recoil that moves your reticle up. Even if you miss the chest, you'd hit the head.
Use Weapons Strong Against Its Weakness
Its recommended to use Cold or Force damage weapons like Samaritan or Vulcan TA.
Alternatively, prepare modded weapons that counter the Chimera's Cold and Force weaknesses beforehand.
Avoid Its Ranged Attack in Phase 2
Unlike its Phase 1 which focuses on doing dangerous melee attacks, Chimera gains a new move where it shoots several orbs at you. You can shoot these down or you can duck behind a corner if available.
Chimera Will Teleport Near You
In phase 2, it will be able to teleport near you to catch you off guard so it can deal massive damage to you. To avoid this, you should listen to a sharp sound and be ready to slide away at any time.
Be Familiar With the Map
It also helps if you have an idea where the ziplines and turrets are so that you can loop through the map and take advantage of the stationary turrets.
When dealing with bosses like the Chimera, being able to run them on the loop and keeping your distance will help you survive and avoid attacks. This way you can avoid being stuck on a dead end, which will likely leave you dead and end your match.
