110mm eagle rocket barrage is worthless

[Roy]

A lot of weapons/strats need a buff but this one is probably the most worthless i've seen so far.
It doesn't even kill a charger when used TWICE on one directly.
It will target the biggest enemy in a pack so it will always go for the chargers, can't even use it for anything else.

It doesn't even tickle bile titans either, does this even work against bots?

[Okazaki Naoki]

For tank, I think it's working.

level 28 and still using eagle air strike. its a much more controlled burst that works vs armor too

110 is pretty awful

Honestly my favorite call in. Looks good, sounds good, fun to use and very effective.

Yeah same i'm only at 16 rn but i'm using eagle airstrike as well.
It's very easy to aim, accurate and destructive and the cooldown ain't bad.

Friends suggested me to switch to cluster strike, but i feel like it'd do less damage against armor?

For something that is considered "late game" weapon, it sure is lacking in punching power. Which I agree, it really sucks, more so when it cost that much to unlock.

Additionally, the 380mm orbital is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worthless. "Use it to siege a base!!!" An miss every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shot... wonderful! I've hit everything but the base. Including team mates because the rounds strike that far out side the target zone.

Yeah that one and it's predecessor are weird too.
In the preview it shows the player standing danger close but even when i chuck it super far away one stray round will always land on a friendly way out of it's barrage area.

It is really good for one-shotting automaton tanks and structures.

The main issue with the 110 is that it straight up misses unless you intentionally drop it short. I think the tooltip and functionally are divorced. I feel like the strike just hits in a line parallel to the throw direction that starts just in front of where the beacon lands. It doesn't seem to do any sort of targeting and if it does, it doesn't work because it literally won't hit a target if you land the beacon ON it.

Will it work if you land it short of your target...kind of but I still wouldn't take it over the regular Air Strike which is just way more versatile, reliable and has the same number of charges.

airstrike works GREAT vs bugholes/bot factories. cluster doesnt work. for this reason alone id choose airstrike over cluster.

Yes and no. It's not the strongest, but it is decent anti-heavy-armor or sigle target strike. There are better (Eg orbital railgun), aye, just on later levels and with longer cooldown.

[Zarviya]

I only take the rocket pods when I'm playing higher rank BIG BOI killer loadout
I'll run Railcannon, rocketpods, orbital airburst, spear I typically only use the rocket pods on the numerous bile titans that spawn and with great effect with the chargers however it's VERY VERY hit or miss the accuracy is not the greatest

Agreed. For as well-balanced and interesting as the Primary and Secondary weapons are, the Stratagems are really all over the place. A few of them are quite good but most of them are "I wasted 7k Requisition on this?!".

I assume that once they work out the real problems in the game that Strats will get some balancing.

If you aren't sure, you are probably too close. I advise my teammates to look at the beacon icon to see how far they are away, and make sure it is at least 100m which seems to be safe enough.

Or at least I used to, before I stopped using it because it's pretty trash.

Clusters are amazing against Terminids because not only do they clear the fodder but they pop the Spewers like the Ticks they are.
Against Bots, I do prefer the regular airstrike due to its ability to destroy their fabricators. Clusters actually *can* if one of them lands inside the vent but it's uncommon for it to happen.

[Mosey]

I had plenty of success with it, it's just that there are more reliable options once you hit 20.

I've seen it one shot a charger plenty of times, just as I've seen it just damage one or entirely miss plenty of times.

The travel time of the projectile itself has a delay, and during that window the charger will not be at the target zone if it's running or moving around unpredictably.

Best used before the bug see's you.

If you think the rockets miss a lot, wait until you whiff on a 500 bomb because the target moved a few meters.
