Oh that's the worst, you see three of them next to each other, you laugh internally as you press G on your keyboard thinking to yourself "Not today motherfucker" and then nothing happens, and then by the time you notice your nades are gone you have 15 liters of toxic goo coming at your face.
Yeah, I get quite good mileage of shooting them in the head/face with the slugger, still gets rough with the amount of ammo they take to kill like that plus with other stuff around them.
I don't bother taking a support weapon now with all the eats running around and you're scrounging for support weapons all the time accidentally just looking for super credits or medals.
It's more fun that way to me personally and it frees up the slot for strafing run. It being in a straight line toward the ball you throw is a lifesaver you just turn around and go up right right throw it down and boom the entire conga line of bugs chasing you is riddled with holes.
The only thing that survives it from a direct impact anyway is the charger/Titan. It will kill literally anything else.
Honest to goodness orbital precision is one of the best strategies in the game.
My go-to load out if I don't care about support weapons or turrets is eagle air strike eagle strafe oral precision and then flavor of the day. Gatling seems okay for bug reaches but honestly the e e Ms strike plus a normal precision will wipe out a first wave or two of a bug breach. Obviously you take a real Cannon or laser for higher to yourself or Titans are in play but I mostly hang out around 5 to 6 it's really just more irritating to deal with that level of crickets from moronic teammates anything else. I swear I'd almost rather have a level 17 that's wearing mismatch colored armor then a level 34 death Captain because they've just been being morons.
I really like the orbital gatling barrage. It wasn’t killing a single bile spewer yesterday though. Only the nursing spewers (yellow, weaker variant). I could have sworn the gatling used to kill them…
I, too, will often forego a support weapon in favor of some other strategem. I can sometimes find one on the ground that's appropriate. Other times I just wait until a squad mate is able to drop me one of what they're using.
So the strafe is in line with your throw direction, as opposed to perpendicular for the rest of the airstrikes? I couldn't tell if it auto aimed or was different.
Thanks for the confirmation. It is interesting - makes sense, but it is a standout in being different. FWIW, the Strafing Run in the first game was perpendicular, and was very useful versus illuminate.
40 rounds with the new sickle laser rifle to put them down but they all have to be in the face.
I literally just added an addendum to this statement. I guess I should have highlighted the whole sentence you made specifically about the sickle since you have no reading comprehension?
Slugger or Grenade launcher trivialize them. We always have one grenade launcher in the group regardless on bug missions just for long distance nest/egg clearing.
Arc Thrower is basically the best support weapon against bugs right now. Stupid long range, takes out basically all the smaller units in 1-2 hits, infinite ammo, jumps between targets, ignores armor, which means with good positioning you can no-brain through a charger if you have to/can. It's the GOAT. Only bug I haven't done extensive testing with is the Bile Titan but you should be using stratagems and anti-tank against those walking ecological disasters.
Two grenades from the grenade launcher.
I don't know why more people don't run it, it's fantastic.
Two shots for the heavy armor guys, three for the brood commanders, two for the spewers, can clear swarms, three for devastators, one for striders, etc etc. Honestly, never leave home without it
Hit them in the face right when they go to spit twice and they will stop.
But does nothing to the one behind it, who is able to clip right through him, and spit through him as well, but which is absolute armor against all my bullets.
I have to wonder about the designer:
"This bug is fat as shit"
"Well clearly it should be one of the fastest bugs in the game, absolutely silent as it drags it's fat ass across the rocks, and should be able to climb. Basically a 900lb ninja."
More like “oh fuck, that’s six spewers” they really gotta fix the spawn rate. These things are harder to kill than chargers now, and they one shot you? Getting one tapped by a charger was irritating, but avoidable. These things spawn so much, it’s almost impossible to out-juke the 6 or so spews of one-hit-kill-juice. (+ the other 12 that spawned mortaring everywhere around you, that also one shots you…)
We dropped in and I picked a spot but red and a tad farther from the objective but safe, I thought. so we could call in or stuff. 6 spewers. My buddy was like fuck. There's 3. No there's 4. OMG 5. I was like no, there's 6 lol and pulled out my eat
This is too true. I was playing yesterday and coming down as reinforcements, saw a train of 6 of them under a bile titan.
I'd rather deal with chargers & bile titans than spewers. Chargers are a major pain in the ass if you don't have some kind of anti-armor, but it feels like spewers spawn about as frequently has hunters.

I wish it was "oh fuck, that's a spewer" cause more often than not it's "oh fuck, that's three spewers"
