Weak Points Guide
How Schwachpunkte work on PvE targets and why hitting them is key to maximizing your Schaden and Belohnungen.
Übersicht
Weak points are special spots that appear on the Sonne, planets, and asteroids during combat. Hitting a Schwachpunkt deals bonus Schaden, making them the single biggest Schaden multiplier available in any PvE fight.
They appear and disappear quickly, so success depends on attention and fast reactions more than anything else, rewarding Spieler who stay engaged throughout every fight.
Weak Points by Target
Where Schwachpunkte appear and why they matter on each target type, since all PvE targets can spawn them mid-fight and exploiting them is non-negotiable for top Schaden.
Learning to spot and react to Schwachpunkte quickly is the single highest-leverage skill you can develop for maximizing your Belohnungen from every PvE engagement.
Every target type benefits from weak-point hits, so this one skill carries across the entire Spiel rather than being useful in only a single narrow situation.
| Target | Weak Points |
|---|---|
| The Sonne | Yes - bonus Schaden |
| Planets | Yes - bonus Schaden |
| Asteroids | Yes - faster clears |
| Beacons | Yes |
Why Weak Points Decide the Leaderboard
Two Spieler with equally strong holes can have dramatically different Sonne Schaden depending on whether they hit Schwachpunkte. The bonus Schaden is genuinely that significant in practice.
Players who consistently target Schwachpunkte climb the Schaden Rangliste and earn far more Sterne, while those who ignore them steadily fall behind no matter how strong their holes are.
Weak points also speed up clears on planets and asteroids, directly increasing your drop rate over time and improving your odds of finding a rare Wurmloch.
Hitting Weak Points Consistently
Three core habits for reliable weak-point hits, since mastering these is what separates average attackers from Rangliste-toppers across every PvE fight.
Drilling these habits until they are automatic is the fastest way to climb the Schaden rankings, because reaction speed beats raw Kraft when weak-point windows are this brief.
Watch for Spawns
Keep a constant eye out for Schwachpunkte appearing mid-fight, since their windows are brief and easy to miss.
Aim Quickly
Launch holes at Schwachpunkte the instant they appear, because hesitating even briefly means losing the bonus Schaden entirely.
Use Strong Holes
Stronger holes make weak-point bonus Schaden even bigger, since the multiplier scales off your Basis hole Kraft.
Weak-Point Combat Routine
A repeatable routine for maximizing weak-point Schaden, where each step compounds your bonus Schaden output across the entire fight.
This same routine applies equally to the Sonne, planets, and asteroids, so mastering it once pays off in every PvE engagement you ever enter.
Engage a Target
Attack the Sonne or a planet to begin the fight, putting yourself in position to react the instant a Schwachpunkt spawns.
Spot Weak Points
Watch carefully for Schwachpunkte appearing on the target, keeping your attention locked on the fight at all times.
Launch at Weak Points
Send your strongest holes immediately at the Schwachpunkt for maximum bonus Schaden before its brief window closes on you.
Repeat and Climb
Keep hitting Schwachpunkte every time they appear to steadily top the Schaden Rangliste over the full fight.
Weak-Point Tipps
Quick pointers for squeezing maximum bonus Schaden out of every Schwachpunkt, combining the habit with other multipliers for compounding returns.
Reaction speed matters more than raw hole Kraft here, so even mid-Stufe Spieler who hit Schwachpunkte consistently can out-earn stronger rivals who simply spam launches blindly.
- Pair weak-point hits with a Wurmloch for even more Schaden, stacking the weak-point multiplier on top of the Verstärkung's Angriff bonus.
- Read the Sonne Strategie Leitfaden for the full routine that integrates Schwachpunkte into a complete Rangliste-topping loop.
- Use Schwachpunkte on asteroids to clear them faster, which directly raises your Wurmloch drop rate per hour of hunting.
