eagle clusters bombs on bots?

[GGandBYEBYE]

when i do missions with friends + randoms on bot 9, i met some randoms using eagle clusters bombs and they basically performed killing teammates better than killing bots, am i missing some hidden tech or it's just a poor choice besides Team killing? Because when i see they killing divers too much i would just assume they trolling and kicked them

Cluster bomb sucks against bots, it's too weak to destroy even medium armor. But good luck convincing anybody. Also it's becoming more and more apparent that some "players" are actually bots. Like Fortnite bots. They dont listen, communicate, or really do anything productive at all. They also take pretty random loadouts. Presumably to boost player counts I guess.

But yeah. Cluster bombs. Great for bugs, bad for bots. It's gotta be the Airstrike or bigger for bots. Orbital laser is great too.

Its good against players tho. :)

cluster bombs are too weak against bots. save them for bugs.

I don't use clusters that often, but I find they still do damage to devastators and berserkers if they don't kill them. Then it's a simple matter of peppering them with the primary to kill them.

I don't think that these players are bots and are just people who have been carried by random players and and have never bothered to learn the game and never will.
These would be the players who are beyond the super casual gamers who buy every FIFA and COD game as soon as they drop and are more in the realm of pre-teens who account share their parents/older siblings copy of HD2

I've had three hot mics with a kid playing while a parent tries to direct from the background or is hollering at another family member. So your hypothesis accounts for at least those three player accounts.

Cluster bombs are fine if the player using them throws them away from the team but a lot of people use them as if they were airstrikes. The radius on the cluster bomb is like 2-3 times larger than an airstrike.

Eagle Cluster on bots is decent. It will clean out most of the small bots but it really only injures the medium ones. I dont really like the Eagle Cluster in the first place since you can just use the Eagle Airstrike which can kill even heavy enemies like tanks for only 2 less strikes. Now the Orbital Cluster is quite impressive against bots since its a fast cooldown, extremely simple input and can kill anything up to Hulks. Eagle Cluster is basically a bug shredder though but every weapon is subject to what the race youre fighting like how the Arc Thrower is god awful against bots but god tier(at least used to be) against bugs.

protip using cluster where a dropship will drop it's cargo ill kill all the crap bots so you can focus on the bulks and tonks

If I see someone pick cluster bombs, I already know they're going to kill me at least once with it. The thing is, the people who pick this stratagem don't care about that.

Clusterbombs are funny. :3

It does work on Husk heatsink and rip some limb off Devas, but it's not an effective way to kill them that's for sure, you are MUCH better off with basic airstrike that can kill almost everything from the bots side plus factory.

The only time I've had issues with clusters on bots involving teammates was when I'd throw the strat at a large group of enemies and a teammate that ran INTO the fray. Then again this was on dif 7 though.
I often run triple eagle strats, through more recently I've been running 110mm rockets instead of clusters for bots to save the 500kgs for other stuff instead of tanks I need to get rid of in short order.

Use airburst instead. 1 throw in the middle,anything below heavy is dead. Maybe 1 or 2 medium armor survive but they will be heavily damaged. Might even kill heavy if it hit at right spot.
