Defenitely acts like a cc weapon above all else, but with one whiff should basically stun spewers. Plus it if the bug's claw attack can do team damage then it would be amazing putting this down in a horde and watch them kill each other. You'd basically have warriors clawing hunters, spewers spewing at chargers etc.
Kinda the point. Gave it more of an identity and a play style someone can take in combat Fire is damage, electricity is for stagger, and Gas is for crowd control
Guys the gas is not meant for high damage. It's meant for crowd control and works more as a support role effect. Gas enemies to confuse them, so you and your teammates deal with them with something else, without having the enemies run at you.
@thatonedude8313 you can do that on any mission if you want, and that doesn't negate the use of any other weapon or stratagem. Aside from that, using a flame thrower is a different playstyle than using the sterilizer or gas in general, same as using an arc thrower is a different playstyle than using the sterilizer, so on and so forth.
The CC is great and it degrades enemies armor which is really good BUT the range on the steriliser is so small it's just NOT worht it, the grenades are decent but mostly the orbital gas is good because of the huge cloud, you want to apply this to a large amount of bugs quickly, the little spew is way too short for that to be any good
I hope they get the gas a visual update, i wish it had a milkier Green? If thats makes sense, current color is a bit too flat imo Sometimes hard to see. The old gas orbital strike's impact had a bit more of that lighter mixed with darker green.
I use it on automaton and it most effective because you can mess up their accuracy and with the gas strike you can just run inside then literally wipe them out with primary
Right next to the hellbomb 1:18 😂🤣 Love it. Yeah this gun is incredible crowd control. If you throw out a napalm strike or fire grenade before hosing them down, the double DOT plus the slow just shreds while they all wave blindly in random directions.
Just from watching, it needs to leave clouds of gas behind. Otherwise, it's less effective than any other method within the warbond as this effect wears off in 3 seconds unless reapplied. Meanwhile, the gas grenade leaves a cloud that lasts for 15 seconds. The clouds would let you create walls of gas, just like the flamethrower can leave a wall of fire if you shoot the ground for area denial. You have to give up a stratagem slot for both gas weapons, they should apply gas in a similar fashion to the grenade and orbital gas strike. Having to keep applying the effect constantly to get any benefits is tedious and pointless since you never get to enjoy having confused the enemies since it wears off so quickly. The clouds would apply the effect constantly, making the confusion last longer, and the low damage would persist longer to inflict more damage over a longer period of time.
seems as it disorients and confuses the enemies like the hunters and devastators looks like the bile was a bit too bit for that effect imagine what chaos we can do with this info
You should not continuously spray the gas, you spray a little and let teh dot do the work, its very ammo efficient. I don't think its effective against tanks. The blinding effect is thee main sellingpoint imo
Finally! An industrial-sized can of bug spray!
??? That's just normal size in New youk and the small in Australia?
And robot disolve agent.
The fact that the gas blinds hunters is God tier in my opinion, would definitely use!

That's actually what exactly happens.
It kills everything, although it Kills Heavies slow af cause it IS a CC weapon.
I know that it confuses enemies but the damage seems very low

@@omega8826 yeah, this weapon is basically used to support your teammates by confusing bugs while your teammates kill them.
Yeah devs announced they reworked gas to be more of a crowd control option that blinds and disorients at the cost of less damage over time
@@omega8826 Why kill the hoard when you can just control it
Yeah I like that though. Its a "support" weapon. Have another teammate with a flamethrower and its an epic combo
The Chemical weapons aren't weapons to kill but weapons to control, some still doesn't understand that

yea but why not just get everyone in your squad to just run flamethrower no enemy can survive 4 flamethrowers at once not even 1

This might be the one warbond I’ll buy instead of grind for it
I like that it’s a corrosive weapon and reduces enemies armor.
Ohh, it confuses them!
That’s a pretty neat way to get some crowd control.

Does it have a longer range than the Flamethrower stratagem?
Yes

Sometimes hard to see.
The old gas orbital strike's impact had a bit more of that lighter mixed with darker green.
It was...ok
yeah due to the recent gas change, dps is not as good before but it make a good cc weapons
to kill bugs ? No. To confuse bugs such as chargers, stalker, hunter while your teammates kill them. Yes
I use it on automaton and it most effective because you can mess up their accuracy and with the gas strike you can just run inside then literally wipe them out with primary
I imagine it has best utility for defending objectives
Right next to the hellbomb 1:18 😂🤣

Gonna buy it
glorified bug spray
Glorious Bug Spray
Wait wait wait you can do first person mode in this game?! Like I’m at 0:07 and I havnt seen the whole video but this made me pause!!
Yeah theres a key for it when you aim in to go first person ads. I think its middle mous on pc by default
Yeah, idk the controls in ps5 but in pc by default you gotta press the middle mouse button (Aka the scroll wheel)
@@Erased_UnityXDXcontrol in ps5 is clicking right stick when aiming down sights
@@Willie_G53 Thanks
Useless to me since i don't even have a ps5 but thanks for the infi
How can gas effect automaton? They breath air?
The gas is acidic
How does it work on robots?
Metal body, human brain
@MrOwl-lw3xc Yeah, I kinda forgot. Which is especially stupid of me since I remember that those are evolved cyborgs after all
It’s also acidic

Bot players are starved for new weapons lol
I mean it is usable on the bot front
As a new paint coat maybe. Range and damage issues. Bots need fast TTK or they will kill you by volume of fire not accurancy.
Use grenades and orbitals against bots, not the sterilizer.
@@ahmarcamacho8404 cant you say that for literally almost every support weapon
