In this guide, we will explain in detail how the BUS-A behaves during the three phases of the battle. Read on to find out how to defeat the Annihilation Instinct DLC right, left, and middle arms in Atomic Heart.

General information about BUS-A

The BUS-A robot is a single magnetic sphere designed to move chemicals. Despite the scientific purpose of the device, the robot can act as an autonomous combat unit. Numerous BUS-A models can connect with each otherto act as a single mechanism. Both individually and as a whole, BUS-A have good flexibility, high speed and built-in laser systems.

BUS-A attacks and abilities in Atomic Heart: Annihilation Instinct

The boss, which is made up of BUS-A robots, has both melee and ranged attacks. The battle with the magnetic transformer will last for three separate phases, each of which has its own characteristics.

One by one

Single BUS-A robots use the following offensive abilities:

• pinwheel - a melee attack that kids use after approaching, and before using the skill, they accelerate towards the target and jump in place.
• Laser ray - the robot stands on one leg, after which it is assembled into a laser installation and releases a deadly beam towards the enemy.

Given the small amount of life, single BUS-A can only scare you with their number.

First phase - right and left hand

В first phase left and right hands will attack:

• fiery waves - an attack similar to the ability of the boss
• Jump and swing - at any moment, the boss can group up and jump towards the target, then make a wide swing and try to hit his victim.
• Orb Shot - A ranged attack that fires several glowing spheres towards the target that explode on .

As soon as the life of one of the hands is reduced to zero, the prefabricated robot BUS-A crumbles into separate spheres, after which the intermediate phase, where you have to repel the attack of single BUS-A.

Second phase - surviving hand

In second phase the surviving hand will fight, and attacking skills will be added three-beam laser. This skill is similar to using a laser with a single BUS-A, only now an increased number of beams cover a large area, while moving in different directions.

After the destruction of the second hand, the body from the spheres will fall apart, and another intermediate phase, in which single robots will appear.

Third phase - middle hand

В third phase a middle hand and a new dangerous ability will suddenly appear - mortar attack. During this attack, the boss assumes a turret pose and fires black mines from his middle arm like a cannon, which remain on the surface and can cause significant damage on close .

This phase is the final one and the boss will be deactivated. After the next battle with single BUS-A robots, you can return to the current mission.

How to beat right, left and middle hands in Atomic Heart: Killing Instinct

In the course of the story, in the Extermination Instinct add-on, Major P-3 will meet a boss consisting of BUS-A twice: in the quest "A complex approach"and in the mission"Eleanor's Heart". The first boss is made up of spheres white colors and the second red. The tactics of fighting this unusual enemy are similar in both encounters:

• Before starting a battle, make sure you have enough first aid kits and ammo - a protracted battle will quickly lead to the depletion of resources and death.
• Try to save maximum distance from the boss and constantly keep him in sightto react in time to his attacks.
• Single BUS-A robots are not particularly dangerous and the easiest way to destroy them charged attacks Secateurs, and during this intermediate phase you can do it without fuss use first aid kit.
• Shoot only at active BUS-A hands that have a life counter and illuminated by beacons - hitting other spheres in the boss's body will not cause damage, and the cartridges will be wasted.
• Most attacks and skills can be dodged with jumps and jerks, so memorize ability animations and react to danger in time.

There are also specific tips that apply to each individual mission. Let's take a closer look at these points below.

In the task Integrated approach

In this quest, the battle with the BUS-A boss will begin immediately after the activation of the large statue of Mendeleev - until then, you should prepare for a difficult battle. Features of the battle in this location are as follows:

• Move along the edges of the arena and don't stop - this will allow you to maintain mobility and constantly deal damage with long-range weapons.
• knock down the chandeliers, when the boss is under them - This will temporarily stun the enemy and give time to heal or deal additional damage.
• Run away from the body of the boss in the intermediate phase – during the battle with single BUS-A, you can move as far as possible from the cluster of spheres, and when the next phase of the battle begins, start long-range shelling from a safe distance.

If you encounter great difficulties during this boss fight, then try to stun BUS-A as often as possible with hanging chandeliers This is the key to success in this arena.

In the quest Eleanor's Heart

In this mission, the battle with BUS-A will start after a failed attempt assemble a recombination scheme. This arena has some special features:

• Immediately eliminate lonely BUS-A - this boss in the first phase appears in the company of single spheres, which are better to destroy immediately, in order to concentrate on the key enemy after that.
• Run between the legs of the boss - the current arena is very small and severely restricts movement, so you can try to move from edge to edge through the center, quickly jumping between the BUS-A spheres.
