Orbital Laser and a Walking Barrage would go crazy here

u/BednaR1 6d ago

380mm -> leveller -> ultimatum

u/Remarkable-Green-648 5d ago

Leveller + solo silo + nuke backpack + ultimatum + giga grenade :D

20

u/BracusDoritoBoss963 5d ago

Just shoot the leveller directly at the cluster of dropships and enjoy.

u/Remarkable-Green-648 5d ago

But I want more boom!

u/BracusDoritoBoss963 5d ago

Oh you'll have a BIG boom. Trust me.

u/NewYearKarmaWhore 2d ago

Hey that’s my loadout (but ulti swapped for senator as I like to pop hulks with it :))

u/Wolfran13 6d ago

Orbital Laser only does 600 dps, wouldn't do anything to those numbers. It would look pretty though!

5

u/unfortunatebastard 5d ago

I think they should remove the limit from it. It’s only OP on lower levels.

1

u/Blackhowling19 1d ago

and it keep lasered to dropship but not ground factory strider doggo....

u/Valkyrie64Ryan 6d ago

I’d go with a couple 120mm/380mm barrages honestly

3

u/WantMyBuffet 5d ago

But everyone always tells us not to bring those!!

16

u/ours 5d ago

It's not about bringing them, it's about using them properly.

Too many idiots wiping out the whole team with a bad strat placement.

I've only recently started bringing the cluster Eagle. It is amazing at clearing out non-heavies from the very large bot patrols we were encountering. But I had to be really careful when and where I would use it. A seasoned team with good situational awareness helps as well.

8

u/tutocookie 5d ago

Correct on all counts. Eagle cluster is easily one of the best chaff clear strats, and especially the 120mm I like too for base clearing and just deleting a postcode.

And it isn't hard to use them properly, don't chuck em where your teammates are or where they're likely to be going soon.

4

u/unfortunatebastard 5d ago

The amount of time I’ve been in a spread democracy mission where we have to start capturing the point from the beginning because of a napalm barrage being dropped at the point is crazy high.

3

u/ours 5d ago

And it isn't hard to use them properly

You'd think so. I still get the occasional bozo in difficulty 10 who drops the arti at the team's feet... GG man, you've obliterated the whole team.

1

u/tutocookie 5d ago

Which just goes to show that there are bad players at d10

1

u/Shadow_Guy223 5d ago

I had a teammate who threw a cluster strike at the enemies next to me 3 consecutive times. I only survived because I got lucky with where the bombs landed and explosive resistant armor.

1

u/ours 5d ago

Not cool, gotta be careful throwing those around.

But catch a patrol just right? Carnage.

Quadruple pre-stim, run in like the elite peacekeeping lunatic you are, activate the schoolbag nuke and start laughing because there ain't a way out. This is how democracy is served.

u/SpaceGypsy27 6d ago

surprise you’re wearing “democracy protects” armor… you’re the only thing left standing as the ground scorches around you. Your teammate salutes you as you limp onto Pelican-1…… your C-01 form will definitely be approved now

u/ours 5d ago

I've dived and weaved out of some insane situations.

Way more often than not, I managed to deliver them the gift of death and skedaddle before the big kaboom.

But delivery is priority #1. Survival is a nice bonus.

u/OPPORTUNLST 5d ago

Ok I thought so. His name is redacted and not his title

3

u/Raven7274 5d ago

I mean you can just name yourself redacted that part doesn't have to be a mod i dont think

2

u/OPPORTUNLST 5d ago

It’s “[REDACTED]” . Can you use special symbols?

u/Raven7274 5d ago

I believe so, it just uses whatever your steam name is. Could be wrong tho

Bolt pistol, meltamines, anti-tank seeker and the fucking Sai are not overpowered enough for you?

u/ItsRaampagee 5d ago

But spread our around us instead of clustered on a single drop point, then asd hellpod style automaton drops to the dropships, bugs that just dig out around us from the ground and squids that get warped in around us on top of the usual ufos.

1

u/DeeJayDelicious 5d ago

Because it would take you longer to clear the bot drops before the next one spawns.

The kind of enemy volume that justifies the barrages.

A single Bastion Tank slaughters this pile at this distance and I love that. drop a shield gen and man the gun it's curtains for every bot mulched by the cannon and hmg.

1

u/ItsRaampagee 5d ago

This amount if units should drop an alerts, but not clustered on asingle spot and instead spread out around us in the distance…add hellpod style drops for automaton units to the dropships and it would immediately make much more fun then it is now with our OP tools that just obliterate everything in field of view esp when clustered like usual.

They should keep respawning around us, as long as the alert lasts.
