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.

Orbital gas strike has become an auto-include for me lately. Before that, it was the Orbital Airburst (God's Shotgun).

Both of these recharge quickly. Both of these clear out spawn sites and secondary objectives (though the gas can fully destroy bot spawns)..

Does the gas work on bots?

Says it works on both organic and robotic lifeforms in the description.
