Hey I was wondering which stratagem you tried out on a whim but ended up really liking? I’ve been switching it up especially since I read that EAT spam can mess up missions, as that was one of my go-tos.

For me it has to be the gatling barrage. It peppers a concentrated area and can hurt all enemies from what I’ve seen. I love using it for Breach suppression and yesterday I didn’t see anyone shoot any rockets, so I swear it knocked down a dropshop on an elimination mission.

Its use case is definitely limited, but when that case is present those repeated explosions feel nice to see.

    HMG emplacement is extremely strong, better against the bugs since they don’t shoot back, but very good against both

        Medium I guess? It kills hulks from front pretty easily, penetrates the hive guardians as well with no problem

            I didn’t know there was a difference lol, is there a resource for all the armor and penetration values?

              Not really. They are changing the tooltips to properly reflect it. There’s light armor, medium, light vehicle armor and heavy armor. Stuff like the anti material does light vehicle armor for instance. It’s the front of the AT-ST walker on bots, if you shoot at its armor.

      I love taking this in one of the static defense missions. Combined with EAT, Tesla Tower and the laser beam.
