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 is absolutely slept on, so is orbital smoke imo. For bots anways. It enables you to be a lot sneakier, can help you disengage, when a fellow diver is in a tight spit it can help cover their retreat, and the beacon is red so you can scare the shit out of people by calling it on top of them!

Honestly precsion strike is pretty useful as well, I feel like everyone moves on from it quickly but it's pretty versatile.

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
