The Best Stratagems For A Defensive Build
Stratagems are the essence of combatin the game.
Selecting the optimal ones for the mission will give you an upper hand while clearing out the objectives.
Awrong choice of stratagems will end the life of even the most skilled soldier.
After thorough testing, we selectedthe following best stratagemsin the game for the build.
This works both with bugs and bots.
Deploying the EMS Mortar Sentry at a height is idealwhenever you assault or defend a certain location.
MD-6 Anti-Personnel Minefield
TheMD-6 Anti-Personnel Minefieldis the best stratagem for creating choke points.
Enemies that rush youfrom the choke point will beblown into smithereensby the explosive landmines.
Light to Medium enemies will get destroyed by each mine.
Heavy vehicles such asChargersandBile Titanswill get little to no damage from the landmines.
The onlydownside of using HMG Emplacement is the slow turn speed.
This will put you at a severe disadvantage if enemies come at you from multiple directions simultaneously.
This massive gunhas very high Area of Effect explosive damage.
Even aBile Spewer will implode into pieces by firing two roundsonly.
An Autocannoncan reload much faster than a Recoilless Rifle and Spear.
However, we recommend you onlypick theSG-225 Breaker.
SG-225 more easily shreds any medium-sized enemies, such as Brood Commander and Devastator.
The onlydownside of carrying a P-4 Senator is the limited bullet capacity.
Make your shots count, as the weapon comes with a six-round chamber.
TheG-16 Grenadeis the only explosive throwable with a zero-second fuse.
This means that thehand grenade explodes when it touches a target.
You cannot rely on grenades with a few-second delay.
An incoming threat will go right past the spot where you throw a grenade with a higher fuse.
Abroken limb reduces speed and depletes health over time, immediately making the defensive build character useless.
It does not increase the overall health pool of divers, butit gives them extra protection from injuries.
Most injuries break the limbs and make your diver weak.
Without playing the build tactically, you’ve got the option to only go so far.
You shouldnever place HMG Emplacement in a tight spot.
This manned turret has a very high RPM and can shoot great distances.
Use it in an open space.
Whenmoving from point A to point B, use Autocannon and SG-225 Shotgun generously.
Enemies like Bile Spewers, Chargers, Devastators, and Hulks are team killers.
Take these out immediately to increase the chances of squad survival.
Bring the best loadout and shred Automatons to pieces.
