What strategems/weapons can destroy what buildings?

[Grumpy Old Guy]

Topic. Trying to figure out what gear can take out what targets because testing on my own has been stupid inconsistent.

Can an autocannon blow up a factory or close a bug hole?
Can a spear shot kill a cannon tower?
What strategems can destroy factories?

For example it seems like a 500kg bomb should take out a factory, but in my experience it doesn't. The laser orbital will and it does it with pretty good reliability.

the 500kg can take out a building but you need to land it ontop of it
the orbital railcannon can
the auto cannon can if aimed right
and what you said because testing on my own has been stupid inconsistent its 50/50

Auto cannon does destroy bug holes and can destroy factories you just have to get the shot to angle down correctly OR wait for the doors to open

Spears are a 1 2 shot for the cannon towers just depends where the round lands

Eagle Airstrike works wonders for factories if you want to run something that's more accurate and targets BIG things you can run the Eagle Rocket pods it wont completely level a base and kill everything around tho if I'm runnin a blitz mission I usually just run those two with a spear and clean the bot factories up fast

Yes. Aim at the hatch from the front. Round will reflect into the Fabricator and detonate; destroying it. No idea about nests as I don't fight bugs

No Idea. Haven't played around with the Spear

500kg bomb is very inconsistent. It seems to be easily blocked by Geometry

Generally anything explosive and it doesn't have a tag somewhere that states it cannot destroy buildings

Orbital Laser, Eagle Airstrike, Eagle 110MM Rocket Pods, Orbital 120/380MM HE Barrage. All good options for taking on buildings

The humble basic Eagle Airstrike is actually very good against holes and factories.

Orbital Laser is my go-to. Got a large base to get rid of and theres just too much ♥♥♥♥ to kill? Toss the Laser in there, dont even have to look, and watch it obliterate everything, bugholes/botfactories included.

Autocannon can destroy many things except fortified buildings.
It can destroy holes, destroy cannon towers if you hit its weakpoint twice. Same with Tanks and Hulks.

It can destroy spore spewers from the other side of the map.

Orbital Precision strike can destroy most fortified buildings and even tanks. It has a hard time hitting the cannon tower tho.

The Expendable Anti Tank rocket launcher can damage pretty much any enemy entity. People sleep on it because you can only use it twice but it actually has a very quick cooldown. Because of that, you can also weaponize its hellpod by throwing it at enemies. It's my go to weapon to use against chargers.

Bot factories can be also destroyed by grenades, just wait for the door to open and lob a grenade in. I didn't know I could do that until recently.

eagle strike, 500 kg, orbital laser and railgun , 380 and 120 will kill a factory/hole but there has to be an explosion touching it , and the 500kg blast radius is deceptivly small for example
autocannon and grenade launcher close them too , but to kill a factory with autocannon you need to be facing the window then bounce in a shell by firing at the metal plate above it

[Daddy Warbucks]

Grenades also work if you toss it in through the little windows up top
