Yup. If I’m not in a fissure where I would have to kill a bunch of enemies anyway, I just quit out and run the mission again, which still manages to be faster than doing the exterminate part.
Archons definitely have heads, one of the ways to oneshot them relies on Ivara’s headshot bonus. I think both their actual head and their archon shard counts as a headshot, but I’m not entirely sure on that part.
The issue with that is people on dormi.zone still see only the upvotes, they don’t see the downvotes. So to them the OP is +4 but to us on lemmy.world it’s -11.
