    It doesn’t need to blow through the ammo on harder targets like the Patriot, so it is useful for a longer period of time. Very cool, and might be worth it long, long cool down.

    I mean I killed 4 Hulks + chaff without problems and ammo left. Plus you can kill buildings for free. And it should have better armor pen than the normal AC because it can kill chargers easily. I think this one could be a go to in the future.

    Feels better to use than the patriot, that’s for sure. Haven’t tried it on bots yet though.

      You can, but you’re not supposed to be able to. Just put the first one in the first slot and the other one in slot 4.

      Other people report success with overwriting a strategem with the other mech.

      I think Helldivers 1 had the same restriction.

    the cool thing is these are turret-grade autocannons, not the shoulder-fired version, so they have enough armor pen and damage to handle even heavies given enough hits.

      Or down a hill or slope. You just end up shooting level and missing your target. It’s bizarre.
