Alright so it looks like all I need to do to take down an eversor

is to bring it into critical damage, rad

shoot it with called headshots with billions of rapid-fire energy weapons and hope for righteous fury, if you're playing Only War onwards

also lol if your DM actually lets you get away with sadbrainsing an eversor into unconsciousness. "this one has touched by the fates and Never Die. gently caress you"

Best way to defeat the Eversor is probably giving it an OD, while it's still asleep. Or leaving and letting it wear out or explode on its own.

So if we're still talking DH2, the best weapon for fighting an eversor is a Psycannon, with a 5.4% chance per shot to make it too ugly to go on with its life. Double that if we assume it fails the toughness test for one of the explosive crits.

You'd be surprised. The Imperium has a use for careful and precise application of overwhelming and indiscriminate violence. There's only so much overwhelming and indiscriminate violence to go around, and a huge amount of demand for it, so you have to be picky about where and how to drop off your crazed psycho killers.

I think it says that it's got enough chems in its drip feeder that it can last a few months. And lol if you think it can sleep with that poo poo in it. You're best bet is to try and talk it down. It has a 1% chance of resisting charm, technically.

I can hear you
If they've been chem gelded then it's one step harder to charm them! I've always thought of some Eversor's in full drug haze seeing things like the Pyro in the tf2 video where everything is a wonderland so if you try to talk to one it just hears "wow you're such a good friend please scratch my back via my torso with your big claws, aaaah, much better now i can have a nap"

When you charm it, instead of shredding you into tiny pieces with its Neuro-Gauntlet it decides that the nicest way for you to die is a shot to the head with its Executioner Pistol.

Don't they get shipped around on ice or in stasis? I mean,can they even stand still on their own?

Exactly!

Even more hilarious, though, would be using De-Tox to fight one - combat drugs spraying as far as the eye can see!
The Eversor is probably going to be able to use the high pressure chems spraying out of its face as a water jet cutter.

That's the thing though. Whilst the Eversor is flying a plane it is notably less deadly just due to the fact that it has to use at least one hand to steer.

I think all the Assassins are a huge rear end challenge in their own ways, although Eversor is the most "murder everything everywhere for all time" option. There was a Callidus Assassin helping the party I'm GMing with in a fight against some Demons and their minions, and she could fairly easily murderize everything except the boss in that encounter, although I noticed she lacks the capability to Lightning Attack. The Assassin's tend to ignore every firepower aimed their way in DH2 at least, what with their seven reactions (or was it six? a stupid number anyway).

The Imperium has some other mode of transportation and logistics than "more chimeras", right? I was talking to people about how the imperium gets staff, supplies, and other crap about the place and I had a bunch of people suggest it's an entire system of variant chimeras. I'm assuming there's some kind of jeep/truck/armoured car thing they actually use though, right?

I gave out tiny hints that something wasn't right with an NPC the two times the party has run into the Callidus Assassin so far, and the Assassins have stats you can use to roll against a PC's Scrutiny - it's really hard to notice something's off, but possible if a character has a good Perception and has put ranks into Scrutiny. Of course, those situations were such that the party was on edge and they were more likely to notice something's off, and the Callidus wasn't trying to kill them as they were not her target.

loads of supplements have "poo poo ground car" as an example vehicle

trucks and cars exist for civilians. chimeras are a chassis used when needed - imperium's not gonna have chimeras hauling grain to market when that same machine could be hauling grunts to the front line on some desert hellhole somewhere.

military-wise, they probably have regular trucks etc. that are used when needed.
