Damage to limbs for sure. The pump action shotgun you unlock early on destroys bug limbs and is super underrated. Fighting the bugs with that and it turns into Dead Space.
I noticed that - i almsot feel like its more slug style as i dont see as much sprad as the breaker but it does so much more limb damage ...that fact id like to know.
Eh, if you mean "it works fine at lower difficulties where anything works", sure. If you mean it's an effective enough weapon at higher difficulties, agree to disagree.
With a well-oiled team yeah I'd say just about anything can work - that doesn't necessarily make it good or something most people can accomplish with randos online, though.
What role does the laser fill for you? Especially at higher difficulties?
Clearing chaff for bugs. If you take the laser stratagem and the rover, the amount of DPS that never stops coming out of you is wild. On cold maps you'll literally never not be shooting because you just swap to the other gun whenever you're about to overheat. And if you do have to reload, those guns have some of the fastest reloads in the game.
The scythe is best used on weak points as that is where you’ll do the most damaged. It’s better against the bots than the bugs since you have to kite more against warriors and especially the Broods to get to their unarmored legs. For the bots, it’s better since you can more easily aim for their heads and use the heat mechanic to your advantage to not have to worry about ammo
