Walking Barrage

[Murderlake]

Anyone used this stratagem? I know that the 120 and 380mm barrages are useless (though I heard good for softening up enormous bases), so I'm curious if the spread on the walking barrage is a bit more reasonable.

The preview vid for the call in is underwhelming, as the barrage seems to move backwards at times, possibly getting you killed while advancing under its cover.

its really good once you get the shrapnel ship module, and the more guns ship module made it even better. i play a mix of solo and with friends, the big thing to remember is the first 2 or 3 impacts hit behind the beacon. honestly i use it more than the 120 and 380 because of how unpredictable they are.

It's, to me, the "good" version of the 120 and 380. The latter are a complete casino Stratagem that work against 1 extremely niche situation. The Walking Barrage does the same thing - mostly, but in a predictable fashion.

It's still garbage mind you - but it's at least usable to the point of being more than a clueless clown for using it.

The benefit of walking barrage is the reduced chance of killing yourself or a teammate behind you due to the "walking" part.

People who think inconvenience is the same thing as challenge mistake that for "overpowered". That said it also will probably stack with multiple people throwing it at the same time better to soften up a base than vague shrug 120/380.

2-4 people bringing walking barrage sounds like a fun time that could get something done. 2-4 people dropping artillery roulette I have seen constantly suggested sounds like someone trolling you to suggest it.

If the cooldown was shorter I would use it more instead of "300s for giant laser or barely 200 for a sky railgun that aims at the big target 2/3 of the time?... OR, maybe, the longer cooldown that can miss the whole base? sounds great I wish they made the cooldown longer so overpowered"

its ok. eagle air strike still king

The walking barrage is absolutely devastating, especially if you're watching your map when you call it in and work it through a group of bad guys. It's like a much more powerful. Really nice to clear the area up to a terminal or walk it through a nest to wipe out eggs. And as mentioned above, when you get some goodies like shrapnel, it's just a joy to behold. Just make sure you back everyone off; I didn't think the explosion would be anything near as powerful as it was... Ooops!

the walking barrage video is misleading, when you use it yourself that thing is 100% worth it, large area explosion and its go to the front and not all around, just make sure you are 50+ from the beacon

Can you really blame people when the other extreme is the 500 bomb (Which I still love) showing you throw it in a nest, and not breaking any nest holes... and that is indeed how it plays out unless you stuff it into the nest itself, where it still misses the ones ten feet away from it.

Or eagle rocket's wild ride "Will track the largest enemy!" *misses the big target in video* where I keep bringing it due to it working half the time. Even when the other half is immobilizing my target with a stun orbit first, and it still misses.

I feel ya most of strat is kinda straight up not good or not working lmao

I love it. Its not super reliable and misses your target like half the time, but regardless when its over, you can see really well afterwards as it flattens a huge swathe of terrain.

it also looks epic. the explosions have shockwaves
