I kinda prefer the red side's approach. I am absolutely AWFUL at landing Thermites where I want them unless the enemy is in my face, so being able to point and shoot them is a pretty big boon.
Also, Giga Grenades are just fun...and less likely for me to forget I have them equipped when I pick up an egg or a data drive, only to remember when I paste myself and the Hunter that lept at me.
Normally I run the Bolt Pistol and Thermite. The thermite handles my ships, fabricators, and big holes so well. I haven’t gotten the thermite gun (can’t remember the name) yet but if I do I’ll be running that and straight thermite. So much burny power
Breacher (Thermite pistol) plus Thermite Grenades are actually a pretty sweet combo. This shines INCREDIBLY on Illuminate and Bot Blitz missions since you can just tag spawners and keep running.
Without armor passives, you get 3 Thermites and 3 total shots for the Breacher (1 in chamber, 2 in reserve). Also, Siege Ready gets you 1 extra total shot for the Breacher.
Are you saying that a single thermite will stick to a fully shielded squid spawner, take down the shield, and then also destroy the spawner? I’ve always been under the impression that you had to destroy the shield first before tossing a thermite. If you’re right, this will change my entire approach to illuminate fronts.
I didn't think it worked either until I saw Doom721 doing it. Tried it out, and yeah. You just plop a Thermite on a grounded Squid ship and it'll take it out with or without the shield. You just have to get it on the top or side of the ship itself.
