Yea I used to be real bad at not checking if a teammate was nearby before throwing my bad
Now most of my accidentals are precalling a stratagem and holding onto it then suddenly being charged or blasted and dropping the stratagem on myself and anyone nearby
It's probably not ideal for higher difficulties conpared to stim or grenade armor but the throw armor really let's you yeet stratagems and take down bases before your teammates can get close

2 railgun shots or a RR/EAT hit will shatter the armor and expose a super weak spot for small arms fire
upbeat vector
oh
hexed steeple
might be getting something wrong here but as i understand it their legs, especially back of the leg after it charges and the unarmored part on its rear is weak to explosives?
upbeat vector
I thought there was a spot that you could damage without anti tank weapons
honest acorn
Yeah they're also weak if you can get behind them and avoid the plate
honest acorn
Oh, you can shoot the exposed bulb on the rear as well but it takes a LOT if the weapon isn't explosive

Charger armor in general is fucky
Certain animations have disjoints which lets you mag dump their legs with small arms for a kill

Where the RR is too much but your rifle is too little

glacial light
I see maybe it's not my niche cause I play with others so my teammates usually deal with the smol ones
I love shooting down dropships though, feels good to stop an encounter before it even began
unreal merlin
Autocannon is definitely the medium-armor defeater with a side of "counts for destroying outpost spawners and lighter optional objectives (sporespewer/illegal radio)"
Not particularly effective vs heavy armor targets but it can work in a pinch or if you're crafty
Its precision and generous total ammo capacity really helps a ton

My unreasonable request is to have an EAT that spawns 1 launcher with a 35 second cooldown. I love playing droppod DDR

autocannon mulches tanks, hulks and towers, which means it is 100% all-round capable vs bots
it can't kill tanks and towers from the front, but impact grenades and strats can easily, so there's not a big hole

HMG Emplacement is surprisingly good as mentioned. If you're able to not get shot out of the seat it mows down devastators with ease.
crystal canopy
I mean, that's assuming you didn't also bring a sentry
But I can't imagine a scenario where you are bringing an emplacement and a sentry together

It also destroys optional objectives like AA/Mortar batteries interestingly, just by shooting directly
Bring HMG + Shield Emplacements
And a mortar
Mobile firebase
unkempt flax
Mh, i see
The sentry does work better since it's a "Place and forget"
crystal canopy
I think the biggest issue is I can't really see a good place to fit it into stratagem budgets
unreal merlin
Speaking of, the shield emplacement is a really cool option if your team can play around it. Throw it ahead as you're running so it deploys by the time you get there. Throw it just inside the gate of an outpost so you can get inside to shoot the defenders clearly. Just mind that it can get overwhelmed by too much firepower
crystal canopy
Cause I feel generally you want at least 2 offensive stratagems and one support weapon
And the emplacement I can't justify taking as a fourth unless it's like diff9 kill the enemies
honest acorn
In HD1 at least we generally had it as a team thing with biases for various types of strategems so I think a lot of that can work with teamwork
Though I've also started not taking a support weapon and just taking what I find on the map
Sometimes
unreal merlin
Cause I feel generally you want at least 2 offensive stratagems and one support ...
This does lighten up with team coordination tbh. If you have one or two persons who're the designated "bring eagle strike and rocket pods and blow up the assemblers/bug holes" then there's room for a more niche setup like the sentry firebase dude with 3 emplacements and a support weapon for themselves (or bum a support weapon off a friend for that 4th green stratagem!)
unreal merlin
Mechs were really powerful in hd1, particularly the dual autocannon one
crystal canopy
This does lighten up with team coordination tbh. If you have one or two persons ...
ive mostly been playing a lot of solo or blitz missions against bugs, so my experience recently is definitely more biased towards hit and run> defend
unreal merlin
Absolutely valid
crystal canopy
Without a railgun it feels impossible to hold a position against bugs
alas , not level 20 yet
unreal merlin
My common choice is railgun, eagle airstrike/rockets (bugs vs bots), and precision orbital strike, with a fourth flex that depends how confident I am on the difficulty (a sentry of some kind, maybe a defensive orbital like EMS/smoke, or the safe choice of laser drone/shield pack (bugs vs bots again))
With that I can handle pretty much anything short of getting monstrously overwhelmed but running solo you can do a lot to just minimize that by being sneaky
unreal merlin
If other players are taking stratagems like crowd killing or anti armor then I'm happy to be the one running two mortars and a shield station with EMS or smoke orbital
Hulks are not a threat with ems orbital on hand
They'll just run right into it to chase you and stun themselves

opinions on the jar-5 dominator?
Dominator is ok... It's got good damage and medium armor penetration, but isn't actually explosive despite its name, so no splash damage to kill yourself with, but also no explosive damage bonus and no ability to kill striders from the front. It's gott more ammo than the Slugger for similar damage, but a higher rate of fire. It's got really slow projectile speed though. I find the Plasma gun at the end of the Mobilize Warbond to be a lot better for bots. It's ok for bugs but the slugger might be better. Hard to say. People swear by the incindiary autoshotgun from the Iron Vet warbond but I don't like it much.

rustic portal
yeah, managed democracy isnt something that Arrowhead made up
Guided democracy, also called managed democracy, is a formally democratic government that functions as a de facto authoritarian government or, in some cases, as an autocratic government. Such hybrid regimes are legitimized by elections that are free and fair, but do not change the state's policies, motives, and goals.
"yeah you can vote. doesnt mean anything, but you can vote"

actually thats important
this is not fake elections
the elections and voting are real and legitimate
crystal canopy
it's just irrelevant
rustic portal
its just that the government arranges things so that nothing changes or it changes in the way they want
crystal canopy
at least as I understand it
rustic portal
yeah
Under managed democracy, the state's continuous use of propaganda techniques prevents the electorate from having a significant impact on policy.
rustic portal
hilariously, Super Earth is actually even less democratic than some real life "managed democracies" because you dont even actually vote
you fill out a server and the automated system votes on your behalf
"Mankind has improved upon the old concept of Democracy. Utilizing computer aided voting software, citizens are asked to answer several questions, and the outcome of their vote is decided upon by the computer. This removes the uncertainty that existed in the old systems where voters didn't understand fully what they were voting for, giving us Managed Democracy." - Encyclopedia Description

Having someone on like, an MG or grenade launcher to deal with medium armour is also pretty nice (and the MG can shred charger legs once broken)

Other way around for me
Bots are easy they shoot at you from a distance and their weakpoints are either big glowing red spots or their head
Bugs charge at you, get so close it's a struggle to actually aim your weapon in their vicinity while pinballing you around and having 100% frontal armour coverage

i have only fought bugs but they do indeed make reloading stressful

stark ether
my biggest difficulty with the bugs is honestly my teammates
rotund marten
I've been enjoying basic liberator a lot for bugs because you can hipfire it with great accuracy, which means you can keep your field of vision open
downside is that unlike the slugger it doesn't stagger brood commanders and stalkers, so they can rush you down
also has lots of ammo and a highly satisfying dakka dakka noise
stone bridge
People have been harping on about the Breaker a lot but I do think its the primo choice for bugs
Being able to delete big stuff with impunity helps a ton
glacial light
Breaker is still my favorite
It one shots anything small, a few quick shots into mediums weakpointd and use other stuff for heavies
unreal merlin
I've heard of some toxicity over it, in the form of people kicking others from lobbies over not using it. It's simply just a good weapon archetype for what you're dealing with vs bugs though.
glacial light
I think it's overtuned compared to other weapons and other weapons need to be buffed
unreal merlin
Good handling, high alpha damage, good magazine capacity, etc.
glacial light
Also fast rate of fire
stone bridge
I don't think it's overtuned even, I think some other weapons are just a bit ass
Shotguns are honestly perfect weapons for bugs already, and this is a very good shotgun
fringe quiver
if any of the weapons are like the liberator they're pretty lame yeah
stone bridge
Against bots the breaker is a significantly worse option, imo
meager saffron
it's very good against the berserkers specifically but it's pretty rough out to far ranges
although that said
daring monolith
Yeah vs bots itās just not efficient. The basic liberator, defender, or even the diligence is nice for bots Iāve found
meager saffron
this is an actual shotgun and not a video game shotgun so it can still do a surprising amount of damage
oblique lotus
the incendiary breaker is actually pretty good against bots because you can spray it into the crowd and the DoT doesn't require multiple pellets to hit or weakspot hits
stone bridge
It can, but the efficiency compared to its performance vs bugs is just not there
meager saffron

glacial light
Theres some gloves with essentially a touch pen nail that makes it a bit more precise but it's still clunky depending on what you're doing
fringe quiver
sigh
getting real tired of these bugs spawning indefinitely
it's one thing for the game to decide to spawn in a charger from a bug breach, when I'm already dealing with one charger
but to then decide that the moment I'm done killing the 2nd charger to just suddenly spawn in more bugs that then immediately trigger another bug breach is just annoying
stone bridge
At some point it's important to know when you need to cut and run
fringe quiver
I can't because they were inbetween me and my objective from a sidepath
I mean I could run to the objective but
because the orbital cannon doesn't do enough damage I can't just suicide rush it
stone bridge
Right, I more mean like kiting back and throwing stratagems behind
You deaggro some and kill the others
fringe quiver
that's what I tried but the eagle runs take a long time to refill
probably just using the wrong stratagems, which ones guarantee kill the chargers in one hit?
actually I think the eagle runs are good enough for the spitters
so maybe I just need to swap out my loadout
keen zinc
Eagle airstrike can kill chargers
Impact Grenades thrown underneath them can kill chargers
110mm rockets, Railcannon strike, Precision Strike but good luck hitting that
fringe quiver
the last two I fought tanked an orbital cannon and eagle airstrike (normal one), do you know which one does it?
keen zinc
The normal one
It has to get hit by the bomb
Impact grenades can be used to finish them afterwards if they're still alive
Otherwise, EATs on the legs and then shoot
500kg bomb is also a kill on Chargers
fringe quiver
EAT did it
keen zinc
My preferred tactic for chargers is airstrike + impact grenade or hope someone has EAT or RR
fringe quiver
I think I'm just lagging or something on the airstrikes
keen zinc
Shoot the leg to remove armor, then shoot unarmored leg with bullet gun
stark ether
or if your teammates have horrible positioning 4-6 charged railgun shots because you need to keep them stun locked
fringe quiver
no teammates unfortunately
EAT is effective though
I think you're right that the eagle strikes have to be direct contact
because I know they were peppered but I think I'm just not lining it up right and only getting splash damage
unreal merlin
This is correct. Even with direct hits the strikes don't kill inone.
keen zinc
I'm just a wild madman and call airstrikes on my own position, then OLE the Charger and jump pack away as the airstrike hits
Because I am insane
unreal merlin
Rockets are easiest but you need 2x calldowns to kill a charger with only the rockets
stark ether
i'd say the railcannon is easier and more consistant
unreal merlin
well duh
keen zinc
Nah, eagle airstrike CAN kill in one
unreal merlin
yes
keen zinc
Those bombs pack a punch
stark ether
oh i must have missed the bit that we were just talking eagles
stone bridge
Yeah I've seen Eagle Airstrike one tap chargers
stone bridge
I think the payload needs to get a direct hit though
unreal merlin
Railcannon is bile titan and cannon turret removal
Eagle rockets are much more cost-efficient for cannon turrets fyi
unreal merlin
but yeah railcannon is either bile titan killer or "i don't want to fight this crusher"
keen zinc
Airstrike always good

eager pine

Jetpack is great for bugs and jumping over chargers
eager pine
I got TKed by that guy four times I think. ONe of them when no enemies were around and he just shot a corpse of an enemy I had killed like 30 seconds earlier.
Yet he has no FF damage, and I have no FF damage, even though I know he managed to hit me once without killing me cause I suddenly just lost all my health for no reason while a charger was between us.
Meanwhile I got over 10k FF damage in one mission from blowing up a hellbomb to kill a Bile Titan while the person it was chasing was too close to it... also I was too close to it...
Probably would have been more worth it if we didn't lose two reinforcements for that but eh...
Also it was someone on this discord that I blew up. XD

tidal wing
hmmmm
I'll have to try that, it would be nice to have rockets AND autocannon...
though I think I'd prefer the recoilless just so I can have it ready to shoot down dropships
although I feel like there's almost no point in doing that? I feel like I've blown up a dropship before it deployed only for all the bots to spawn unharmed on the ground??
is that a bug or an I just not blowing it up soon enough
fringe quiver
I think they spawn beneath it to prevent collision issues
cobalt patrol
No, when you shoot down dropships it 100%kills things benetah it
oblique lotus
dropship explosion is definitely not consistent
jolly mortar
there's definitely a lag to the explosion. I can tell the intent is for the ship to explode and kill the units dropped, but the explosion is delayed a lot of the time and doesn't always go off in time.
daring monolith
it also doesn't usually kill hulks or tanks
meager saffron
dropship explosion has always looked like the dropship despawing, followed by an exploding dropship spawning in shortly after to me
maybe this is just lag but it would explain why it's so spotty
jolly mortar
honestly? yeah. and the spawn-in of the 'crashed' dropship is where it goes wrong, because half the time it winds up rubberbanding across the landscape for me.
cobalt patrol

am I using the jetpack wrong? it feels laughably worthless. you get a modest hop once every 15-20 seconds with maybe ten feet of air
fringe quiver
it mainly feels like something better for solo stuff or climbing
tidal wing
for something that takes up the backpack slot it feels like it should change your entire mobility instead of giving you a teeny boost a few times a minute
cobalt patrol
I am once again requesting more people for <@&1206091872716595200> - got 2, need 2 more
