Right now, the game is the most Pay2Win it has ever been.
It's undeniable that the most oppressive enemies right now are chargers. They come in massive swarms and will hound you non-stop until you kill them. Up until this point, there have always been reliable ways to kill them with stratagem weapons. Even at release the flamethrower was a solid charger melter.
We've all seen various posts about the alternative ways to deal with them, and what do they nearly always feature? Stun Grenades. Yeah if you want to have a way to deal with chargers on higher difficulties, you need to own the cutting edge war bond, or at the very least have somebody in your group with it that will stun them for you.
The stunning orbital takes way to long to land and cool down, at that point just use an orbital strike and kill the thing all together.
And of course, there's the glitch where to break armor on behemoths in one shot with an anti-tank weapon: you need to walk towards them. What makes that 100x safer and more practical? Using a stun grenade on them first. Frankly if Arrowhead had not already proved how blatantly incompetent they are, I'd accuse them of leaving the glitch in to make the war bond more necessary. Fortunately for them, there's no doubt that they really are just that bad at their job.
Yes yes it is possible to kill them without stuns, but as it stands, the #1 best tool for dealing with the biggest problem in the game, is from a premium warbond.
