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.
I think the shield emplacement is much better than just OK vs. bots. We’ve started taking one or two shield emplacements on bot missions, usually on difficulty 7 or 8. Opening a fight with a shield emplacement gives you a safe zone where you can charge Quasars or line up Slugger headshots on Devastators. It makes dealing with Rocket Devastators in particular a lot easier and safer. With its 90-second cooldown, it’s usually up in time for the next fight.
