Gas Crowd Control Loadout vs Bugs

[IsolatedAbyss]

Main: Slugger (AP3 & Stagger)
Secondary: Grenade Pistol (close bug holes)
Grenade: Stun Grenade (or maybe Thermite for an additional heavy option)

Strategems:
1) Sterillizer
2) Orbital Gas Strike
3) Orbital Precision Strike
4) Eagle 500kg Bomb

Any suggestions? The only anti heavy options are the OPS & 500kg (unless I bring Thermite Grenade), so this is more of a supportive role. I'm not saying this will outperform the 'meta loadouts', but just to serve as a different playstyle that could be fun to use. The Gas Guard dog doesn't seem worth to take up a strategem spot.

I'd change the steriliser for a machine gun or flamethrower, since it's damage is very low. You can take the gas granades instead for more crowd control. If you go with the flamethrower, try the heavy armour set with gas resistance, it makes you pretty much immune so you can get into your own gas clowds to fry them!

Well, the main point is to have fun with the gas. Taking them out defeats the original purpose. lol

You'd still have the gas granades (instead of the flash bangs) and the orbital gas strike :) You can turn a huge area into a gas field, especially if you bring armour that gives you +2 granades.

Is the Gas Grenade really worth using over the Stun or Thermite Grenade?

I'm probably gonna use the gas armor for style points.

I quite like them, they cover quite a large area and last pretty long. I find them better at crowd control & damage than the sterilizer. You could even bring a supply backpack to just chug them everywhere!

Take thermite, because you have pretty low AT options, if you are going solo. You already have gas - why should you have stun grenade?

This is not supposed to go solo. As mentioned, it's a supportive role.

I will give the gas grenade a try. So maybe change Sterillizer for Flamethrower, and either 500kg/OPS for a Supply backpack.
