Tactics Support - Bombard?

[spacecat]

Just got to lvl15 and ran 2 maps without stumbling much specimens... probably because all other trash takes only 1 hit. I only stumbled a siren but that's it. It says it increases the chances to stumble so this means that supports already have a small % even without this perk?

Tried on sc's, fp's ... doesn't seem to work on them, or maybe I'm not testing enough. Used pump action and double barrel

Did you try shooting at legs? Maybe this is why.

Double Barrel on Scrake legs should stumble them.
FP not so much.

All the other shottys seem to have very low stumble value.

So you want to aim for the legs, to stumble zeds? It makes sense now that you say it, but I never considered doing it before.

Do shots to the face have a chance of flinching them, or body shots knocking them over, or anything like that, or is it just 100% shoot the legs if you're trying to slow them down?

It totally depends on the target zed as well as the weapon.

Both zeds and weapons have body, head, leg etc. stumble resistance and respectively power.

E.g. Eviscerator will always stumble a scrake on hit to head and even body, as well as stumble a FP on leg hit.
Generally aiming for the legs is a safer bet.
