Stratagem combos

Curious what you guys have all found to work. I experimented with the shield pack and arc rifle recently. Absolutely monster of a combo, which can handle near most major armor threats, and give you some resilience against attacks. Two arc soldiers with shields can handle full bug assaults shoulder to shoulder, and leave titans to their buddies.

Arc can pen chargers, and barrage down armor. It can devastate hordes. Though it does have a friendly fire issue to a extent. Mix in some airstrikes or sentries like mortars, and holy cow, you have Helghast Lightning Troopers.

Huh, nice to hear someone giving the Arc rifle some appreciation. Only got to play with one a little after finding one in the field but it didn't impress me much at the time. But then, I wasn't dealing with armored targets or bots.

Arc is a weapon with a lot of emphasis on trigger discipline. And it doesnt usually look like it does damage. And then I saw it put a hole in a charger's thick head plate. And then another, and another. And eventually it died. It sheared off it's side plates even. And the shield made it so much safer. I have to test on automatons, as they require other tactics, but it's good. Only bug I couldn't 2 tap, or 3 tap was a bile titan.

Interesting, I only picked up the arc in the last game so now I have to save up for a shield pack to try that out
