As the title says, what's the best way to shoot it down? I know the Gauss gun and JAW work quite well, but what about other bullet weapons? How long does it take to down a gunship with a Scar or something?

another forum user, my server buddy, Zeevil knows the answer to this...

he told me before how many clips but i didnt pay attention

In demo it was about 80

I don't know the numbers but the tools I have had some success with are the Majestic, the JAW and the HMG. I have shot near two clips from the DSG at it with no success. I always aim for the weak spot too.

I'm not sure if some weapons do damage and others not or whether it's simply a case of getting enough accumulative damage on it.

where is that idiot zeevil anyways,my hands are itching to raqe him in game.Or did he quit Crysis2 beocz he just cannot handle our gang.

@Jac75, where is the Ceph weak spot? i never noticed... usually i ignore that noisy thing above... haha

@cooldudsubho, lol, why dont you two stop fighting already...
I think he's busy with work...

Back then in the days of Quake, if you had something to settle... you'd set a 1 vs 1 server and set a limit of 10 - 25 frags. Winner gains bragging rights...maybe you and him should have a 1 vs 1 in skyline or terminal.... although i dont think Crysis2 allows for 1 vs 1 games... only Pre-game mode where the scoring doesnt start.

as for myself i'm trying to finish Assault 100 wins for Game Type assessment....which is tiring and boring...

Aww, don't find it boring, Assault is one of the best game modes... though you might need good luck finding any decent Assault servers

Is MK60 any good against the gunship?

2 jaws are the best way to shoot down gunship.Only noobs try shooting at gunship.i actually kill lots of dudes who are shooting at gunship in light house map.

I just cloak and avoid it -.-

for tactical play and maybe clan matches... such as in Team Instant Action mode, where scores matter; shooting an enemy ceph gunship is critical to winning. The longer it stays up there the higher chance it has in killing more and racking up scores for the opponent.

So for example, if ur playing in a server, and the score is close, but you want to win the game so that you earn the win stats or assessment stats; make sure u be a team player and help shoot down the Ceph ship and save your clueless teammates.

But of course, if you're playing for fun... just cloak and ignore it (or equip covert ops level 3 and stand ur ground bravely uncloaked and unharmed)

1 Shot with the gauss = BAAAM!

Got it down with a MK60 one time, maybe luck then?

But of course, if you're playing for fun... just cloak and ignore it (or equip covert ops level 3 and stand ur ground bravely uncloaked and unharmed)Actually you can do that earlier with [Covert Ops II], [Covert Ops III] amplifies the footsteps of enemies around you.

As for weak points, I seem to remember the glowing part of the ship (I call it the firefly butt) is where you need to aim though I don't think regular bullets are effective against the ship. I've heard claims a direct hit from a JAW from right behind the firefly butt is enough to one-shot it, though that might before the JAW damage dropped.

You could do your team justice by being the JAW + [Side Pack II] Anti-Ceph destroyer as part of your role. The 'reload' time on explosives is quite quick actually when you have Side Pack on.

interesting... but normally i cant be bothered about the ceph... i wish i can fly it though

I got one down with SCAR but probably someone before me had weaken it down, so I just finished it.

I used for this gauss hmg mk60 and jaw - all other weapons not so effective or more useless against Ceph gunship
with gauss it possible to bring down with 4-5 shots
who says that he do it with 1 shot it's only because some one try do this before you

Guass is the best, IMO. No more than 2 shots.

rocketlauncher?

I just checked - with gauss it 3 shots at bottom of Ceph Gunship

Gauss attachment also does the job.

Melee kill too

interesting... but normally i cant be bothered about the ceph... i wish i can fly it though

yea if u can fly the gunship then its gonna end up like the "hind" from call of duty black ops. then noobs would start crying. its good that the AI controls the ceph.. on an average u get 3 kills with it..

Try then to not take it down, but avoid it. Covert Ops II does the job, the ceph gunship will never hit you.

I've got the best way that wont weigh you down with a Gauss Sniper Rifle, or hinder you with the crummy Module that is Side-Pack II. As well as still allow you to wield your favorite weapon and Modules without really sacrificing a class slot for it. The set up is as follows:

Weapon: Your choice (Preferably not the Gauss Sniper Rifle, assuming that that is what you are trying to avoid).
Side Arm: Majestic (Attachment doesn't matter).
Explosive: JAW
Armor Module: Any.
Power Module: Any.
Stealth Module: Any.

The Strategy:

Pull out the JAW and aim for the glowing red fire-fly "butt" on the bottom of the Ceph Gunship and fire. Your target is the brightest glowing red part of the "butt" that is towards that back of the ship, hitting this will result in an instant kill. If you miss and still hit the glowing red "butt", pull out your Majestic and fire upon the "butt". Four to five direct hits will result in the death of the Gunship. All in all, this method takes less than 7 seconds, which is not enough time for the Ceph Gunship to target you, nor enough time for someone to usually find you out. After that go about your business, killing people and what-not or listening to the Ceph Gunship caller rant about how he got no kills with it.

It's like 300 points for free.

Well yes that too, but in order to unlock it you need to beat Chuck Norris. And of course everyone knows that that is impossible.

You cannot defeat Chuck Norris, only Bruse Lee could and he is dead now...makes one wonder why....
