Orbital Gas Strike

So, this was interesting. I was on top of an egg cluster area. When that Titan Bile spawned. Since I was soloing for the sake of trying out the stratagems. The Gas Strike killed it. Keep in mind that it was some what stationary since it was trying to reach me. Worked also some what on the bots too.

gas strike does good damage but the thing you are aiming at has to be standing in the gas for the full duration and most of the time that's just not going to happen.

I dont think iv had a mission where the enemy sat-still for long enough to use those Stratagems.

The latest strat is cover someone in BBQ sauce and send them out on a suicide "attract all the attention" mission, then no patrols will spawn where the rest of the team doing the real mission is.

Yeah, I was up on hill far from them and they were all standing still. Basically it killed them all, but like you said during a battle may not work to its full duration. Maybe a choke point with the smaller ones. All in all extremely situational. Still surprised it killed it.

the initial explosion can actually destroy nests too, not factories though.
also the lingering gas I've been told will only damage you, not other players or enemies.
Only the enemies hit by the initial blast will get poisoned.
No idea if this is intentional or a bug

Hang on. there's other stunning strategems right? Could it be good with them? (Haven't unlocked them myself)

I use the EMS first, then the Gas strike. Hold's everything in place and lets the gas do it's thing. My favorite one-two punch. Short Cooldown and is quite effective, especially if you're looking to get some breathing room, or taking out a cluster of eggs.
