Spear V.S Recoilless

[Eshtian]

In particular, which one has more damage per rocket, and which one has more damage per backpack.

I know the Recoilless has 5+1 shots and the Spear has 3+1.

The Spear does more damage but it's contingent on the rocket (which you have no control over beyond lock-on) hitting a weak point.

The Recoilless does slightly less damage (kills a Bile Titan in two headshots versus one Spear to the head) but it has more ammo and is more versatile due to manual aiming.

I much prefer the Recoilless Rifle. It's been my favourite since the first game.

Spear has more damage per rocket.
It can 1 shot titans to the head and i think it always puts chargers into a bleed out state.
As the spear locks on it doesnt always target what you want it to, honestly this is the biggest drawback of the spear, its got insane potential but its hinged on the lock-on system.
But you get like 4 rockets in the backpack and 1 in the launcher.

The recoilless hits a few important kill thresholds so its still good and it carries more ammo (i think it comes with 7+1) and gets more ammo back from resupplies. We used these against the robots as they 1 shot the drop ships, theres other kill thresholds too like the exposed weakspots on the bots.

Ah, that's a problem for sure, especially against chargers.

[Dalek Trekkie]

The spear does way more damage (and will one shot most things in the game if I'm not mistaken) but you can't dumbfire it, and the targeting is janky af. If you can get it to lock on, then it's great, but there WILL be times that you desperately need to kill something big right that second only for the targeting to say "nah fam."

Okay, I can work with that.

Target lock always fails at a critical moment, its not reliable enough and needs a fix.

I've had bad luck with the spear not one shotting, so I usually use the recoilless. One HUGE issue is the spear has less ammo and only gets one missile per Resupply Pod ammo boxes. The Recoilless gets one rocker per ANY ammo box found in the world or two from Resupply Pod ammo boxes.

[BEEP!]

I honestly wouldn't use either of thoses weapons.

What's your heavy weapon slot then?

[The Hof]

Probably the Railgun, which is honestly the better choice.

My first casual idiot titan kill was with an EAT to the mouth.

The worst part of the EAT is actually how it has delays on readying up "3! ... M1 M1 M1 M1 M1 M1 SHOOT ALREADY *fires the instant target wiggles an inch out of alignment* and prone to bugging so you are holding an invisible gun in your hands for a while, probably as a side effect of that trash tier "Oh we can't let them use it on demand!" delay design.

The best part of the EAT is dealing with people who think "Light armor and stealth is meta!" means starting a firefight then running from their mistakes after you die saving them from two out of three chargers and your options are "old gun surrounded by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" or "throw new EAT ahead of you as you sprint and pray wacky stratagem debuffs don't ♥♥♥♥ you"

Recoilless locks you in place to reload solo for a small ice age, but is so responsive you can hit 3 and 180 3rd person no-scope a dropship out of the air before the physics engine decides to make it wobble up and down 50 feet before dropping bots. (it is so not worth having someone work the pack compare to an extra soldier in combat)

i love the autocannon (grenade launcher has ♥♥♥♥ ALL ammo, so every person saying 'it is great because no backpack' tend to be 'so anyways I brought as supply pack for my own gun' backwalkers). But autocannon gets left behind in chaos too much when a mission is not going perfect.

Fair choice. Heavy armor piercing, with reloading on the go. Do we have damage numbers for it?

Autocannon it doesn't do the most damage nor the most pen but it's more than enough to kill anything & you got 10shots in a mag & such a silly amount of ammo in the backpack it's kinda crazy & it reloads rather fast with just you it ended up becoming my main heavy fir everything.
But the best is Railgun by far that thing is overturned.
