Being the "Chaff clear" guy can be awesome fun, airburst is SICK

There seems to be a strong pull for players to gravitate towards dedicated AT weapons and stratagems, with good reason: it's so rewarding nuking the titan or strider hounding your squad, and they're a very menacing force to be reckoned with.

But I'm here to tell you the other end of the spectrum can be so much fun too! I've been having a BLAST with a dedicated crowd clearing setup recently. Useful on either front with a few minor adjustments.

Primaries are up to you, I like Blitzer and Spray & pray for each front respectively, classic liberator isn't bad either. Same for secondaries & grenades, I love stuns.

The fixes to the airburst launcher have made it so much better, so much more reliably lethal. It's the best anti-patrol & anti-group weapon in the game, one rocket in an incoming patrol can clear the whole group or severely weaken it. It can one shot chargers with a carefully launched rocket to the under-butt, may not down dropships but it can lay waste to the passengers no problem. With practice you can reach out and nuke a full patrol about to attack your teammates from 100+ meters away without catching them in the blast. "Here I killed these 17 bugs for you, carry on"

Cluster Eagle, Orbital Shrapnel strike, and EMS Orbital do fantastic for culling horde after horde of foes, EMS can be used close range in emergencies to buy you / teammates critical time to reposition.

If you can handle the throngs of chaff & smaller, tossing in some mid enemies; your bros who are stocked to thine gills with AT gear can be that much more deadly without swarms of anklebiters at their feet.
