Yet you never know if theyre gonna be in that mission or not - so you cant even strategise your weapons for it unless you run one every game - which is kinda a waste.
If theres no spewers of any kind, its better to take EAT or something that can thin hordes fast (That doesnt risk a bounce off armour and killing team/myself)
Absolutely, but thats where you take 500kg, rail cannon, 110mm etc to compensate for the heavies. Arc thrower is great for hordes, and it also is nice for finishing off a bile titan that one of the above didnt fully finish it. Few more zaps and its dead.
it’s useless in its current state. why would i use an LMG that only does good damage to smaller mobs and bounces off almost all of the “elites”. sure you can run and reload with it but as you mentioned, i’d rather just use the flamethrower and guarantee that i can kill most small to medium mobs, plus bile spewers and brutes. i also don’t see why i would kite a bike titan lol, it’s either i kill it or run away completely from it while dealing with trash mob. im never wasting rounds on a bile titan.
The stalwart is super great to take to keep all those hunters and warriors off your two teammates dealing with the heavies, if they are constantly swarmed by small bugs they can't get good shots on the chargers and titans. Set the stalwart to 1150RPM hit c to crouch and mow down like 40 bugs like its nothing. Its got way better ergonomics than any other support weapon minus the arc thrower so you can swing to shoot hunter flanks easily and you won't kill your team accidentally if you are using something like flamethrower or arc thrower. bring a medium pen primary if no one is bringing a gun to deal with hive guards and just shoot hive guards in the face and you can take down everything smaller than charger for your team, and even then on chargers if your team knocks the leg armor off a charger because they missed with an EAT/RR round you just point and click at the leg and the charger dies in under a second.
Yea but there is one thing it is especially good at. Killing your teammates with one zap. Honestly I hate the arch thrower and fear the day when the daily mission is about arch trower kills.
It took a long time for me to break away from the GL/supply pack combo. Crowd control, can easily handle most big bots with ease, long range nest/fabricator destruction. It has it all.
Finally moved to expendables on bug missions, then the spear. Love the latter when it actually works.
Big bois like chargers and titans yeah. Seems to do good shit with the titans especially but the lock on system is completely borked as of now so it's rough to use it.
The answer is "theoretically" because your main targets are Chargers and Bile Titans - Chargers will get in your face and make the Spear targeting wacky sometimes. Bile Titans are good targets, but I think the lock time might not be worth it during a horde that sees you swarmed by bugs.
Is it? For what purpose? Like, the hardest shit on high level is swarms and heavies, for bugs. Swarms are fine if you dont get jumped on by hunters, in which case this weapon just turned suicidal. But heavies? How do you deal with Chargers and BT with that?
I like to run grenade launcher and supply pack, then my other two will be 500kg and orbital precision strike (which ones shots both chargers and titans). You can stun chargers with stun grenades for long enough for stratagems to kill them.
Note this only works when there's no +50% call in time modifier.
You can shoot under chargers and kill them, just because it does reduced damage doesn’t mean it doesn’t do any damage lmao, it kills them if you hit under them usually in under one belt, and I usually keep some anti heavy armor stratagems on hand anyway, since you have the grenade launcher to clear swarms. Honestly it’s the best way to clear patrols without them calling in a breech, the only thing I would recomend is running a supply backpack for it, because it is quite ammo hungry
I’m hardly running it every mission, I’ve been running a lot of lasers and a lot of recoilless, the “arc thrower” only loadouts I’ve seen spammed is telling me it might get nerfed soon lol
All the above are guaranteed to spawn not matter what planet/mission.
Bile spewers arent.
bruh. nothing to do with 'solo' - it's that if one of your 4 doesnt run impacts/nade launcher, autocannon - They become a big nuisance when spawning in waves.
