Zanuka is op.

[(PSN)Nukerxero123]

I was trying to get neural sensors by killing alad v, but zanuka was not dying at all. The weapon I used was quanta vandal with 4000 magnetic damage, with 75 status per sec. Im also MR 12 so I know how the game works but this is ridiculous. I spent 20 minutes with my vandal trying to kill zanuka. It just wouldn't die. I used both firing modes. And yes I tried to kill zanuka first before alad v, so he won't be revived. What was happening. 4k magnetic should be enough for a lvl 20 zanuka.

And it wasn't the mod removal glit h at the beginning of the missions where all the mods are removed. Cause I was proccing magnetic efects.

You have to down alad V first to make zanuka vulnerable......

[Altrice]

Well Zanuka has Alloy Armor, which has 50% resistance to magnetic damage. That alone would significantly reduce your effectiveness and is probably why you had so much trouble.

Sounds like you dont understand the fight. The wiki is your friend. 

 

Also try Corrosive damage for zanuka, but the thing is: you down Alad V so that way Zanuka is "vulnerable" and will take more damage. 

[Epicagemo]

I think the intent was to knock Salad V down, then the "invulnerability" shields for Zanuka would go down, shoot zanuka while he revives Salad, shoot Salad down again, rince and repeat until zanuka dies.

Kill Salad first, then you can shoot Zanuka.

Thnx guys

 

[Rhekemi]

On top of the advice above with regards to its armor, throw in high impact damage for the shields.

Go give 'em hell.

[AdunSaveMe]

Always go for the Salad first. You don't necessarily have to down him, but it helps.

Zanuka is only vulnerable when Alad's shields are down.  If you incapacitate Alad, Zanuka will try to revive him, which will also return her invulnerability.

The trick is to keep Alad's shields down WITHOUT INCAPACITATING HIM so that Zanuka is always vulnerable and doesn't try to get her defenses back.

You're not fighting him right. As the guy above states, you gotta take Alad down first, then start ripping at Zanuka. I would recommend using Nova, Rhino, Frost or Mesa to fight him. Nova, Frost and Rhino can slow them both down with their powers. Mesa is aimbot so gunning down Zanuka while he's running to revive Alad is easy peasy. It's a little tricky cause you either gotta totally merk both of them really quickly, or down Alad far away enough from Zanuka so that you have enough time to kill Zanuka before he revives Alad.

A Lil Tip: try melee while both cuddle..heavy weapons work best, especially with cleaving whirlwind. Ideally damages zanuka while killing alad again instantly. Thers nothing he can do once you have him pinned ?

...or you could NOT down Alad and just drop his shields so that Zanuka running to him isn't a problem at all, like I said.

Zanuka is vulnerable as longs as Alad's shields are down, and she doesn't try to help him until you down him.  So drop his shields but don't drop him, and you don't have to worry about a short time window.

Or Synoid Simulor and screw everything! :D

1) You craft the Rubico

2) You mod the Rubico

3) You lay Alad with his Zanuka to waste via two Rubico shots in total

Win

Bullet attactor on Zanuka and use a magnetic/viral/proc that is effective against Corpus and after a bit Zanuka will go down. Did it just before
