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.

Precision strike is pretty much as good as the eagle airstrike (which is imo hands down the most useful stratagem in the game). It trades the big aoe and spammability of the airstrike for pinpoint accuracy and (I think) more damages. And it actually follows the beacon if it's stuck to a moving target

I compare it more to the 500 personally, similar damage amounts and radius

Weirdly enough, I've never seen it that way. But it also makes sense. I need to do a few runs swapping the 500kg for this and see what happens.

Yeah it takes out tanks, chargers, bile titans in a well placed shot, just like the 500
