I’m trying to figure out which orbitals would pair nicely with my current loadout. So here’s what I’ve got: light siege ready armor, crossbow, senator, thermites, a 500kg payload, personal shield, and a quasar cannon with a stamina enhancement booster. Just for context, I mainly play against bots. I’m already aware that lasers do a great job of clearing targets, but I’m curious about what other orbitals can perform well too!

Definitely consider the Eagle Smoke Strike! Once you get the hang of it, those three strikes per rearm can be a game changer. They let you control fights better, especially in bot missions. Once you start using smoke wisely, it changes how you engage with patrols. With the 500kg in your loadout, this can improve your rearm speed too. Think of it as creating space to manage crazy situations and preventing the bots from overwhelming you. Trust me, it’s a life-saver for solo bot-dives!
You’ve got a solid mix of anti-tank and medium options already, so I’d recommend considering the Gas Strike or Gatling Barrage. They can really help with clearing out the small guys, which I know can be a pain. Personally, I think they’ll synergize well with your gear.
Gatling Barrage seems like a perfect fit for you! With your anti-tank setup, its low cooldown makes it super versatile. It’s great for dealing with groups of devastators or for making a quick getaway from tough spots. You might also find Gas Strike useful for defensive situations. Just remember to use them often for maximum effect! If you’re open to changes, swapping the 500kg for an Eagle Airstrike could be good too, and try out options like Walking Barrage for flag raising.
I mainly use an orbital, but I might give other options a shot for the 4th slot. Appreciate the suggestions!
Thanks for that tip! I definitely struggle against those Jet Brigade minions sometimes.
