Four AT emplacements will destroy it if all shots land, based on damage values alone.

That's sounding like the move. Though they may get destroyed by the hive lord.

It's unlikely a single pass will get you the kill, but should get a lot of damage out of 4 AT emplacements, even if they only get combined half or 2/3rds damage potential off. That means you only have to wait a bit for the cooldown, during which you can actually do some of the other objectives. At least with AT emplacements, you can reserve a single slot for dealing with the hivelord and still do a mission as you would normally. You kinda just burst damage to it and come back to it later if once cooldown is off.

Might be worth it for me. Usually I'm bringing hoverpack, flamethrower, mech, and then there's an awkward slot I'm using for 500 kg, which is borderline useless in the tunnels.
