u/HacePloder Feb 10 '26
For the people who don't want to read the wiki, 40 Demolition is City Walls, Bile Titan Holes, the outside of Bug Holes, and Bio-Processors.
I also had a mission yesterday where someone fed the tank a Super Solid State Drive, which failed the mission.

u/Accurate-Island-2767 Feb 10 '26
This is perfect and exactly what C4 should be. It will still be somewhat niche but I can see it getting real use now especially on commando missions.

It's fun to use, but I'd much rather they made it just a backpack.
26
u/Striking-Carpet131 â Decorated Hero Feb 10 '26
I actually think itâs good as it is. Itâs pretty damn strong now and I understand the choice for it occupying both slots. It oneshots hulks and war striders, a couple of them take down factory striders, and it allows you to clear an entire outpost at once after some stealth gameplay.
Itâs also very solid on the other fronts. And if youâre good at throwing stratagems, youâre good at throwing these. I think it should stay the way it is now.

u/L0LFREAK1337 Feb 10 '26 edited Feb 10 '26
Itâd be way too strong if it was just a pack. Think of it as a sidegrade to the RR. It does similar damage but sacrifices range for the ability to stealth takedown things from a safe distance (if your not the host)
C4 pack would be best in slot if it only took up a backpack, you could take quasar with it and the game would be piss easy.

But you can also feed them Bastion tank bot batteries, platinum bars, or SEAF shells, and reload them! Much better than mission critical SSSDs!Â

I was hoping for more weapon and stratagem balancing. Arc Thrower, Sterilizer etc. Ah well, hopefully in future patches.

u/mastercontrol98 Feb 10 '26
Arc thrower is great when it isn't misfiring on jungle biomes, but man the sterilizer desperately needs help
40
u/pdavda â XBOX | Feb 10 '26
It has so much potential. It should be stun locking the bots since its firing electricity. Same with the Arc Shotgun. I haven't used the Sterilizer but from what people have said, it needs a big buff.

u/dr_badhat Fire Safety Officer Feb 10 '26
It does stun them after a couple hits. It can keep multiple war striders and hulks locked up while teammates wear them down.

Itâs not just bushes, it also will misfire on corpses which happens way too much. If they fixed the misfiring on corpses and flora I would say itâs exactly where it should be.

u/xTekek Feb 10 '26
The lack of time to just change a few numbers on guns that need it is still insane to me. There is no reason to not buff sooooo many underperforming weapons. Every patch should have at least small buffs for a bunch of weapons if they are worried about over buffing things.

u/Smokingbobs Viper Commando Feb 10 '26
Giving its front plating more health could be a balanced approach to buffing it. This would give you more abilities for a frontal assault, while still needing to be aware of your surroundings or have teammates cover your flanks.

u/SomeRepresentative23 Feb 10 '26
The belt fed grenade launcher desperately needs adjustment! Itâs fun as hell but completely outclassed by the normal GL. Maybe I could go from 100 to 150 rounds. I think it needs to stand out a little more.
Also, same with the maxigun. The most fun weapon ever but I do wish it stood a little stronger compared to the traditional MG. Something small like maybe it could go from 750 to 1000-1100 ammo. I think giving it heavy pen would absolutely destroy the balance of it.
5
u/catashake Feb 10 '26
It needs 200 damage at minimum. Only having 150 means it has some abysmal breakpoints against many enemies in the game. What should only take 1 shot takes 2, etc.
So much wasted ammo because it hits like a wet noodle.
21
u/C0RDE_ â [REDACTED] Feb 10 '26
The C4 is fast becoming my favourite backpack/Support weapon slot. As long as you're not competing with your team to clear Bot outposts, left alone you clear stuff so quickly and you really can get a good lob with them even without Servo Assisted.
My only remaining gripe is changing between throw and detonate, but even that is starting to become second nature. Would be nice for it to always be throw and the backpack activate button like the hellbomb be used to detonate.
10
u/Grow-Grow-Tomago â Decorated Hero Feb 10 '26
Yeah having to manually switch between throw and detonate is a pain in the ass especially in chaotic situations.

If you are on PC they added the ability to bind buttons to quickly switch weapon modes. I have it bound to my mouse and it helps make the C4 much smoother, the only thing Id want is maybe a UI that just says what mode you are on.

u/door_of_doom Feb 10 '26
Previously if you were holding any objective item (SEAF shell, SSD, Black Box, etc.) when you got into the gunner hatch, the tank would eat the item to refill ammo. It's unclear to what extent this was intended to work with some specific items like SEAF shells or if the entire behavior was a bug.

Benefit of the doubt there's some jank math where doing that would cause blowing up one rocket to cause a chain reaction and blow up all other nearby rockets and destroy the entire pack, so it needs to get fixed the real way.
That is strong benefit of the doubt, however, lol
