  • I love that the description of zero-g breech loading implies that all guns on Super Earth ships are muzzle loaded
  • @aff66
    Gatling Barrage also scales better the more you have on the team! While Napalm and Gas don't seem to stack with themselves, 4 GB will will be that much more destructive!
  • This thing went to "meh" to "absolute gold". This thing is incredible now and you can bring it against anything, a very safe, easy to use, fast and low CD jack-of-all-trade. And you can kill titans with it too.
  • @Spessforce
    Gatling is also very useful during extracts where the environment forces the incoming patrols into a choke point or bunch up around terrain.

    OGB mains when it finally got remembered in the big fix update:
  • @Degarth
    I bring this and the humble machine gun sentry on most missions now. My ship is fully upgraded so the up time on these two feels permanent. If I need them.and they aren't up, they are coming very soon.
  • @Dimeinurear
    Gatling + airburst + gas = total bug destruction
  • I like to combo it with the orbital 120 mm barrage and/or the airburst strike. Those tend to kill anything that happens to make it through the Gatling barrage.
  • @ConvoBreaker
    Ruuning barrage + spear against bots is super fun. A lot of bots barely survive a spear & finishing them off with the barrage is super easy and hits more things with conserving spear ammo
  • @HarryVoyager
    I tried it out after the patch, but was only so-so on it. However, I did not know what it's radius was, and hadn't thought through the implications of its reduced cooldown time, so I think I may give it another go, and use it much more heavily.

    Orbital Gatling got a lot of love this update, but I’d like to see more changes to the orbitals. A change I’ve thought of is to reclassify the airburst strike to an airburst barrage. 2 options it could be done, either a simple classification change to allow “more guns” to apply, or rework it to act more like the 120mm and cluster bomb combined (maybe a future stratagem??)
  • Your armour combo is literally what I've been using too. I knew it would look good!
  • @fletchergero896
    Orbital EMS bug breaches then barrage it, they are up at the same time constantly and you just completely hold down the hole.
  • Does anyone else love running orbital airburst and orbital gatling at the same time and always having a horde clear off cooldown?
  • @Dark_Tesla
    Can’t tell you how many time my OGB magically broke Charger legs I love it.
  • @StodaGryph
    You've definitely convinced me to at least try it a few times, thanks for the intel.
  • @FrostyFrodo
    Loving the gatling barrage against the bots!
  • I run 500's, gatling barrage, gas strike, and Spear on the majority of the bug missions. Honestly, if they reduced the Orbital Precision strike down to like 85-ish seconds, i'd run that over the 500KG's and swap the gas strike to Eagle Napalm. But, the OGB puts in work. Definitely the best update in the patch . It would have been the Spear, but that is still broken.

    Another awesome man! Keep up the great content 🙌🏼🙌🏼
