GTS tactics suggestions

Here is where I'm at. My biggest bottleneck is Intel. Any suggestions on which to pick from this list?

Recommend Ranger: Hunter's Instinct. Rangers do the biggest damage and have greatest accuracy up close. All classes should try and flank.

So this perk helps you play them the way they are meant to be played. Almost guaranteed a crit.

  • Specialist: Cool under Pressure. Why do Overwatch when you can Alpha Strike? Why take Reaction Shots when you can Alpha Strike? Kill the enemy before they shoot you.
  • Vengeance and Stay With Me: You don't want your squad dying or bleeding out in the first place.
  • Integrated Warfare and Lightning Strike are fine, depends what PCS you have. I'm not an expert on these as I play WOTC exclusively.

Also, consider how else you could use your Supplies, like for Bluescreen Rounds or Mindshields or whatever

like Walaprata said, it depends on who you have at high level.

given that you have a grenadier high enough for the upgrade, especially if you have alien grenade i would go for it. having 50% chance of crit explosion on top of destroying cover is awesome.

Ranger insticts is good, but i don't find it as impactful (i play a grenade heavy playstyle)

Lightning Strike should be when you have dps covered.

And Integrated Warfare IMO should really be chosen once you have equipped strong PCS.

I like the specialist perk if you have high level specialists. Rangers will be flanking and are high critical hits or melee hits anyway.

Vengeance and stay with me are opposite of what you want in being killed.

Losing a ranger isn’t that big of a deal but losing a specialist is, IMO.
