the recent balancing patch brought a large swath of changes to anti-armor weapons and armor values - and chief among these changes is the Recoilless Rifle. Prior to this patch, I generally shied away from using the RR against the Automatons since it wouldn't consistently destroy enemies like the Spear did. However, the Recoilless Rifle is now an absolute BEAST on the Automaton front. It absolutely shreds Hulks, Gunships, Tanks, Dropships, and Fabricators, making it one of the premier anti-tank weapons to bring now.
With these changes to the RR, I wanted to push it to it's limits by leaning into a run-and-gun play style, using the buffed magazine size of the Tenderizer to rush enemies head on. To support this play style I also brought the Impact Nades and Grenade Pistol to deal with Devastators and Scout Striders.
I also want to give a shoutout to the Eagle Strafing Run, which now consistently destroys fabricators from any angle (no more aiming for the vents!!) and is a great tool when used on patrols that line up vertically. For even more firepower, I rounded out this build with the OPS and the 120 MM HE Barrage, both of which can deal with bot drops and heavy armor.
Overall, I was really impressed with how well the RR performed on the Bot front, and am definitely interested in exploring how it will pair in other builds. If you like rushing head in against the bots with extra firepower, I'd definitely giving the RR and this build a shot!
