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.

That's the thing about smoke - you can drop smoke and shoot them, or you can drop an airstrike in the same slot and get rid of them at once. Same for nades - throwing an impact into a freshly landed bot dropship is way better than throwing a smoke for a few seconds of them being inaccurate

Smoke and air strikes are very different. Smoke allows to disengage and avoid patrols. Bots are often too spread out to be taken down by one air strike.
