Gas isn’t fun for most

[🌠Deusgo]

Explosions are cool, hence why 99% of people bring em, same with lobbing down massive shells from orbit, or firing storms of bullets onto the enemy.
But gas, it just kinda lingers.
No matter how much damage it does, for most it won’t be as satisfying as watching fire melt away enemies into tar.
I’m unsure if a good solution to its cool factor as it is just a fart could, perhaps make ignitable by throwing a grenade to make it deal all its damage at once instead of over time if the players decides

mines in general work badly. it would be better to get a GAS SENTRY, now that's cool

[橘光]

well if it's on short cd I'd bring it along with the orbital strike and grenade for extra farts in game

[The Blind One]

I love the gas orbital, it's great to deal with bug breaches.

I've never tried any of the mines though and I can't imagine mines being that great as they are already extremely situational and gas being just as situational makes me just wonder if it will be useful at all.

Am I complaining?

Gas is by no means bad, it just isn’t as cool as fire or explosives, again for most peopel

Well if you dont find gas strategems much fun then... us something to your liking. Not everyone has the same taste. Some like flame, some big booms , some just lots of dakka and some like to gas their enemys. I honestly enjoy the gas strategems and its funny to watch the bots starting shooting eachother^^

I've seen some use gas and be really effective with it.

Exactly this.

Gas is cool because its a bigger warcrime

[Marabu]

gas is good when done correctly
e.g, the sterilizer is useless

You know what's weird about gas.. none of the planets have Wind.
So gas cannot spread, it sits like a fart, then dissipates quickly, which adds another reason why people don't like it.


Could you imagine running to the side of a giant hive and drop an orbital gas and the wind sweeps it through the area killing all the small/medium bugs and giving biletitans a nasty cough.

I find gas nades incredibly useful for bugs. Thrown one on a bug breach and they'll all just sit there. You can trivialize a lot of bug attacks and hold your ground. And you can have up to 6 of them, which can easily extend the gas duration for a long time. Gassed bugs don't call in breaches, so it's also a good opener for patrols or groups on pois/nests

It's ok for bots, but you're better off using emp nade imo so you can still see/shoot them. Bugs will melee the ♥♥♥♥ out of eachother in gas, but bots can still hit you with wild shooting.

There's just something satisfying about gassing the bugs 😂

It will visually spread just not mechanically.
