What stratagem destroys spawn buildings?

[Gakuya]

the only ones that seem to work consistently are the Atlas canon artillery and 500kg bomb.

anything that EXPLODE or BOOM, anything with bullet or just splat white won't destroy anything..

"I don't know the answer"

there, was that so hard?

The only real stratagems that can be used to destroy holes and fabricators are the Airstrike and the 500Kg bomb.

Others can do it but require luck or precise aiming :
Cluster bomb needs you to be in a precise position to destroy fabricators
110MM targets nearest enemy and won't hit the hole if there's one around
All barrage strikes just hit at random
Orbital laser can clear entire camps if enemies come out and aggro the laser
Smoke and Gas strikes can close 1 hole if thrown directly in it
Precision strike can destroy a couple if close, but who would waste a stratagem slot for that

The easiest way is the grenade launcher, recoilless, autocannon or exosuit to destroy holes from afar, and the Spear for fabricators (autocannon also works, but requires specific aim to ricochet down the vents)

The Eagle Airstrike should be your go to for robo spawners, and to a lesser degree bug nests.
Eagle Air can hit multiple spawners in one pass if you land it correctly. Bot spawners are very easy to hit, bug holes it can be a little rough to hit more than one due to their angles and terrain protection.

When you level up your ship and are able to bring more 500 bombs those are good too. Basic airstrike is also good, yeah. Rocket Pods will def close bug holes if you can get them to hit. Orbital Laser will clear anything, but seems to target bug holes inconsistently.

Inconsistent targeting of bug holes is just generally an issue because you have to consider the angle of the hole, and the direction an eagle or orbital will come from.

You are supposed to just throw a grenade in the vent

That is the highest precision method if you get close enough, but sometimes that can be an issue... 🙄

It took me longer than I want to admit to realize that those vents were a thing. I used to always just stand in front of the door and wait for it to open.

[Nope]

Anything explosive is good enough
But for stuff that required Hellbomb, 500kg should be able to substitute I think

[Bum Ghost]

110 rockets do

So there's a few ways to deal with bot factories at range. 380mm barrage, 500kg, precision strikes, walking barrage, air strike, rockets, orbital laser... Basically anything that does a big boom.

And then even some support weapons can do it at range. If you aim at the vents of a factory, you can one shot them with an autocannon. Its kind of wonky though. You have to be basically on a level plane with the vents, or above them. Shooting from beneath doesn't work.

Eagle Airtrike usually does the job and it's great versus patrols and groups of Medium armor and heavies. Works against tanks as well as most structures. I run this most missions vs bots along with the Orbital Railcannon strike that one shot problem heavies in a pinch. The Orbital Railcannon can also take out the Tower Turrets as well as Bot Fabricators if your Eagle is rearming. Just make sure there are no medium or heavies next to the structure you're trying to take out with the Orbital Railcannon because the Orbital will sometimes target the Medium or Heavy Bot.

It's because the explosion has to touch a part deeper in the vent. Hop in a mech and shoot missles at a vent from the side and you'll see what I mean; the explosion has to reach kinda deep and splash damage isn't enough.

Bug holes are kinda the same way but since they are wider it's easier to hit the sweet spot, this is easy to see when you try to use impact grenades on them from an angle versus straight on.

airstrike is one of the best all around stratagems

[Dain_Ironfoot]

Lots of stuff does. You just have to land them in the right spot.

[Terminal Desolation]

do support weapon stratagems count?

I've been known to use the autocannon to clear them, just shoot in the vent or shoot in the bug hole and it's done
