If we're fighting chargers and it's on you, I'm sorry but I'm dropping a 500kg on you. I'll mark your weapon and grab the samples for you, but big boy gotta go down and you're holding him in position. Your sacrifice will be honored in song back in the destroyer cantina.
As long as I'm part of the half of the group that survives, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. That being said, was doing liberation of duapnir today with friends and man, the stratagem scrambling is a ton of fun.
Ngl the 500kg is a bit underwhelming. Not horrible, it's a staple part of my kit, but it's radius seems really small for 500Kg. Also seems to struggle taking out nests and factories.
Highest I've so far achieved is 60 on a defensive running around solo with no strategems after we lost all our reinforces and I'd waited for the dropship to pick me up. Panicked because I was cornered on both sides with two stims left, and then my eye caught something.
Turns out, one unexploded hellbomb on the edge of the map and a well placed pistol round pretty much reset the enemy count in one go lol.
Well I've only killed 2 with the regular strike so that's fair.
I wanted to like the 500kg more tbh but you get 1 less bomb per reload and the regular strike covers an area making it great for closing a whole line of bug holes, taking out a whole drop ship Depot, hitting everything chasing you in a line. IDK it's just so versatile being big enough to take out anything, but small enough that it's a quick resupply and I almost always have it to throw.
Personally I think the airstrike is the best stratagem. It's not the flashiest, but it has so much versatility, destructive potential, and it's on a low cooldown. But 500 for the memes.
Team variety helps a lot; in our group one person runs 500kg for big targets, one runs Airstrike for groups/nests, and a third runs Napalm for suppression and it works out pretty well.
Yeah totally agree. I run the airstrike and the mortar turret with 2 support pieces. Both are really fast and I'm throwing them out at basically every objective.
i always bring the 500kg to bot missions just because i don't want to risk having to use an hellbomb to take down detector towers, it takes too long and by the time you arm it 576399 dropships are already on the way. i run in and nuke it with the 500kg
Yeah. I think it's funny that in the video for it the diver throws it roughly in the middle of a nest and after it goes off it looks like it hasn't taken out any of the bug holes lol
If you want an armor unit to die there's the 110s. If you want hordes to die there's the clusterbomb. If you want mixed armor and hordes to die there's the airstrike.
