I’ve been hearing about the recent nerf to the Ultimatum where it supposedly can’t destroy secondary objectives anymore. However, when I used it on warp ships, it still worked for destroying them, so I’m curious if it still can target things like jammers or bot structures? Any alternatives for taking those out without having to call a stratagem? It was really handy to get rid of stratagem jammers without venturing into a bot’s base.

If you’re looking for another way to deal with jammers, the Hellbomb backpack works great! You can also try luring turret cannons or factory strider cannons to fire at the jammers instead.
You can still go after warships since they now have HP just like the automaton fabricators, so any anti-tank weaponry can do the job. While I’m glad the Ultimatum lost its jammer-destroying abilities, it definitely adds some suspense in squad matches when you know victory hangs in the balance. It’s a mixed bag though; I wish we could select our loadout better for random teams.
Honestly, I’m skipping jammers now since they take too long to deal with and there’s really no point anymore. If you maintain a safe distance, they can’t touch you.
With the recent changes to the demo 40, it’s not as effective against towers anymore since they require 50+ damage to take out. I think they need to buff it a bit. My suggestion would be to increase the ammo to 2 shots per pack and maybe extend the range a little. Right now, it feels like a total nerf, especially for bot games.
