Guns
some of you may have seen social dissonance's video guide and his gun recommendation. the gun is horrible and not worth using if you want an under 5 minute time.
I strongly recommend Blizzard frame, Jhen cannon barrel and Chaos wing stock
this loads 5 Sleep shot level 2's, 2 para shot level 2's which is plenty for what we're going to be doing.
but just aim for any gun that loads at least 2-3 of each that can achieve min recoil with recoil+2. no deviation is recommended but you can adjust your aim for it.
armour skills
i recommend urugaan/ingot+ however any armour is fine you just need to get your gun to min recoil and have the skills Bombardier and Trapmaster, these are crucial.
Felyne Skills
Pyro (Required)
Specialist (Optional)
when one person has pyro in their lists, have them use a voucher/gold ticket to give everyone else the boost (the skills i recommend they choose are Health, stamina and defence)
The Strategy
we sleep bomb 4 times (8 LBB+ with bombardier each time) and then parabomb/bomb 3 times (8 LBB+ with bombardier each time) on the 3rd parabomb only 3 people need to set bombs to kill alatreon if everything else has gone correctly.
At the beginning someone throws a smoke bomb and you all take cool drinks and load your Sleep Lv 2's. you fire 4 into alatreon, sheath up plant your LBB+, walk around to the side and reload. Someone detonates (being very careful not to hit Alatreon) the second the bombs go off everyone spams Sleep Lv2's and if you're quick, he wont have time to roar before he sleeps. Go ahead and plant your LBB (<3 Pyro turning them into LBB+) and as your walking off make some more LBB and Sleep shots. when they are detonated, you can still sleep him before he roars but i usually just roll the roar and get him just after. lay your bombs and back to the side. Now prepare for the longest sleep.
once the bombs have been detonated, unload your clip and use the roar to reload. once you've slept him, lay your bombs, Combine and switch to Para S Lv2. Have someone detonate then only 4 shots until he paralyses. run up and lay your bombs. first person to lay detonates.
repeat the para once more. For the last one the furthest person away doesn't lay bombs and just detonates them.
this should kill Alatreon
The Maths Behind It
for those of you who care xD
1 LBB+= 120 damage
with bombardier that is 180 damage
when you sleep bombs ONLY ONE of the 8 LBB+ do the 2x Damage multiplier, essentially you're just laid 9 LBB+
bombs ignore hitzones so the damage is constant.
Alatreon always has EXACTLY 10 000 Health
each sleep bombing does 180*9 damage, this comes to a total of 1620 damage.
we sleep bomb four times so we can go ahead and multiply this by 4. 1620*4= 6480
we do 2 full parabombings. each one is 180*8*1.05 (the 1.05 is the paralyse multiplier) this comes to 1512 damage we double this so it comes to 3024
3024+6480= 9504 so we only need to do about 500 more damage so technically we only need 3 more LBB+ BUT if you haven't managed to set the bombs of whilst it was paralysed you only did a total of 2880+6480=9360 so you need to do 640 more damage which is about 4-5 LBB+. to be on the safe side we use 6 and that is what i would recommend.
