Unexpected useful strategems? (self.helldivers2)

Hey I was wondering which stratagem you tried out on a whim but ended up really liking? I've been switching it up especially since I read that EAT spam can mess up missions, as that was one of my go-tos.

For me it has to be the gatling barrage. It peppers a concentrated area and can hurt all enemies from what I've seen. I love using it for Breach suppression and yesterday I didn't see anyone shoot any rockets, so I swear it knocked down a dropshop on an elimination mission.

Its use case is definitely limited, but when that case is present those repeated explosions feel nice to see.

I've been experimenting with full support load outs. 1 quasar, 1shield, 1 autocannon, 1 supply or jump pack.

I've found in Lvl 8/9 missions it's possible to get killed and have to wait almost 10 minutes to get your gear back, the party moves on, the spot where you dropped the gear is inaccessible etc. With 4 support packs I can just switch, autocannon and quasar will drop large enemies same as an orbital or eagle. Jump back can move me fast or to a safe location to fire from.

Plus, I can call down packs for squad mates who lose theirs.

That's such a wholesome teamplayer build! I love to see it.
