Unexpected useful strategems? (lemmy.world)

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.

Gatling barrage has such a low cooldown too. Just 80 seconds base.

Yeah, I ran this earlier but then switched to the Eagle. Now I picked it up again, and with it and the Eagle I almost always have something to call in to take care of massed mobs.

Orbital airburst is also very good at this. But I think the gatling is better against armor
