I bring all mines and mortars. I always use all stratagems at once

AC-8 autocannon:
*Can be used versus small / medium targets
*Gunships are no problem at all
*You can quickly kill bug stalker when it suddenly attacks you (press ALT and quickly shoot backwards)
*Destroys automatons fabricator bases / bugs holes
*Semi-Antitank if used versus weak spot
*You can combine it with stun grenade versus bug version of tanks to shoot his weak spot when it standing still
*Very bad versus bile titans or factory strider, so use eagle or orbital strike.

Strategems for titans. Hmg, amr, ac, or scorcher for gunships.

Effective anti tank weapons go in categories of what enemies they are. Flamer kills chargers the best. For titans you have to strip their armor off with a strategem, after that the gernade launcher kills it the best. Hulks are a preference after a stun grenade, hmg is the best rounded weapon for that unless you enjoy the auto cannon or amr.

I do not feel actual tanks are enough of a threat to sacrifice the stopping power of said strategems against hulks or gunships.

Spear has its place, but I never really used it much though.

While yes it is bad against bile titans, it's actually STRONG against factory Striders as well.

can quickly destroy it's chin guns making it toothless allowing for easy access to it's belly which it can quickly destroy the strider with by blasting away.

The laser cannon is amazing against gunships. Better than any other weapon which can take them down without being overpowered. Any advantage the other weapons has to take them down is out weighed by the advantage the laser cannon brings to taking them down.

Any weapon that can be great against them.

Such as?
Bile Titans? Recoilless rifle.
Gunships? Laser Cannon or Autocannon (support weapon).

depends on how accurate you as a player is honestly.

THAT is actually more important to fighting bots, unlike bugs where it's ammo count and reload time.

Laser Cannon, Recoilless Rifle, Auto Cannon, EAT, Commando, Spear (although it's somewhat still dependent on what teammates bring), AMR, Railgun, HMG, hell even the MG we all start with after the buffs.

That's just actual Support Weapons.

Some have better mileage then others but all are very usable and depending on squadmates and what they've brought and allow for mass bot destruction and ease of mission completion. Especially if you actually work as a team instead of trying to always be a "lone wolf hero" like so many think they can do.

On higher difficulties I like to bring both Recoiless Rifles and Expendable Anti-Tank. Is it overkill? Probably, but having both options on hand is a godsend when you are dealing with a lot of heavy armour!
What's even nicer about the Recoiless (also isn't it funny it's called the GR 8... as in GREAT)
is that you can do some tech to speed up reloads
Hit reload immediately after firing, it skips the recoil animation
Watch your ammo indicator when you're reloading, the moment it turns white, hit your crouch button to stand up.
Boom, you shaved precious time off. Get back to killing

AR rifle and Lasercanon annihilate every bot you needed. Most braindead pick for autobots are:
1. Supply pack / orbital prercision strike (if Laser canon)
2. AR rifle / Laser canon
3. Shield dome (turret) (throw first, then second turret)
4. Autocanon turret (kills everything in face) \ manual handled turret (kills everyrthing in face except for tanks)
Weapon: Punisher plasma for walkers. Laser pistol to kill devastators in head in less than a second. Impact granade for 1 shot kill tanks in ass, 1\2 shot turrets in the back.
AR rifle 1.5 mags inito the belly of ATAT, 4 shots in engine of gunship.
Don't forget to use cover, lay down for accuracy.

Bugs no brariner pick:
1. Flamethrower for chargers
2. Supply pack.
3. Precision strike for titans
4. Expendable rockets\commando for more titans\chargers.
Weapon: blitz, uzi, stun\flame granade
Or if there is tons of stratagem masturbators who think their goal in life to keeel titans:
1. Stalwart for small bugs
2. Supply pack.
3. Manual handled turret. (shreds everything except bile titans and chargers.)
4. Rocket turret. (Explodes big tics, annoys titans)
Or meme:
1. Expendable rockets (heavy)
2. Commando (heavy)
3. Airburst rockets (small bugs \ teammates )
4. Manned turret (everything except titans and chargers)

HMG does job even better, cause you can kill mutalisks towers from any range, just tap it.
Put maximum shooting speed and blow up chargers ass as they stun themselfs on rock.
Oneshots flying bugs.

Peakphysique actually help with flamethrower and HMG handling. Recommend for quality of life.

killing gunships? oh thats simple, the missile turret is literally amazing at it. it practically can shut down an entire swarm of them on its own. the HMG is also great at shooting them down once you master it. BT's on the other hand are complicated... I try to use the spear mostly. if you can angle it low it can zip in with a headshot and OHKO... I can't really say that about any other option.... Im pretty sure everything else is some form of annoying two shot...

My personal choice for them is right now the Commando, and EATs. Against bugs, I prefer a support weapon with a higher rate of fire, like the Stalwart or the standard MG. Being able to drop the EATs when a Charger or Titan shows up, fire it off, then grab my MG again is really handy. With bugs, I like the Rover backpack or Supplies, so I really hate to have to use a full backpack slot just for six shots.

Against bots, I tend to go with the Quasar, the AMR, or the railgun.
