PSA Walking barrage and mega nests

[Khloros]

So just an FYI since i see everyone trying to clear out mega nests with 380 or the napalm strike

The walking barrage is will actually do the trick.
Problem i find with the 380 is its a very large area of denial to both you and the enemies, and even your own team. But the Walking barrage lets you clear nests way quicker.

Just toss it into the "ally" of nests let the first salvo go off, then you can run up behind the rest of them safely and plug nests super quick and easy and not get over whelmed.

Im actually surprised more people are not using it.

I've recently started always taking the walking man. I slept on it for a long time but realize it's got great utility.

Wouldn't an Eagle Airstrike or 500k do basically the same thing? Any quick n' easy throw, I assume.

But yeah, I wish people stop throwing a 380 on every single nest. First boom takes out the singular group of bugs that was in there, then we're just waiting around.

Nah, the eagle or 500kg dont provide the area of denial that the walking dose.

Because the strikes hit so hard and have such a good explosive radius it clears out a large area that you can follow up behind pretty closely to then pop nests.

Its definitely a upgrade over the 380 imo.

"First boom..."

I wish. Problem with the 380 is how stupidly random and unreliable it is. Walking barrage and 120 are superior in any account.

Walking Barrage shoot 380 projectiles, but players can give or take predict where they will hit. So yeah, an upgrade.

Yeh i have been killed by more 380s and naplams then anything and it hardly takes out anything in a nest after it gets done blowing its load.

One of the best Orb's in the game.

I use to take the 380 on bugs but was overkill.

Did get a sweet 102x kill with the napalm Orb on bugs last night. It's really good too.

Then jump down and close the remaining.

[Netsa]

Hm, maybe I should give it another chance, then.

Napalm orbital is great. The only problem with it is people (usually newer players) greatly underestimate the area of effect. If you look at the beam and the distance says anything less than 50, you're too close.

Totally agree on the walking barrage...it's so underutilized.

I give the napalm the same safety distance as the 380mm. 60 meters minimum.

Huh I’ll keep that in mind, I usually just napalm barrage to clear the chaff and eruptor from the crater edge so I don’t trigger scavenger spawns

Oh, I didn't mean that the napalm is good for closing holes...it's terrible at that. I just meant in general, it's great.

Yeah,
So if you come up to a medium, large or mega nest, you just toss the walking orbital right on the lip of the nest, stand back a bit so you dont get got by the first salvo.

Once the first salvo finishes, just start following the barage and closing holes, the barrage pretty much kills everything in its path so its great if you, and your team follow up behind it.

Same for bot bases.

Two of them walking down a large base is...democracy!
