Yeah grenade with a supply pack is my go to to clear everything but the heavy bois. While I let other things like the auto cannon and rocket turrets to handle the rest. But this one is a nice contender for this build. Hell, maybe even add in a third for that extra stratagem spot.
GL is great group clearer but it doesn't have heavy unit damage outside of shooting their weakspots, compare it to the WASP, wasp can somewhat kill heavy if the rocket doesn't fly randomly and hit random body parts but that is fine really. i say the wasp is like the Autocannon if it a SPEAR and also fun. it not to replace anything as it stand alone on its own and i like that. we need more support weapons like this. mixed of fun, well rounded and not a replacement
@jacobfoxfires9647 believe it or not, you can kill a Hulk from the front with a Grenade Launcher if you keep hitting its legs, the explosion will hit its weakspot at the back
The wasp is the ultimate medium killer with the *capability* of killing heavies and people should realize that It fills a perfect niche that wasn’t covered before and I ADORE it
100%! Just sub’d & turned on notifications. Only suggestion I’d have is to make video titles less clickbait-y format wise and more informative. I had trouble trying to pull up the video of this weapon against the illuminates for example cuz it didn’t have the weapon name in the title.
So apparently the burst mode (single launches) has heavy armor pen and locks onto anything beyond the smallest chaff enemies, focusing on medium type enemies mostly. The Artillery mode has only light pen, but is great vs groups of smaller ones.
What is cool here, is it is a weapon designed for medium enemies, however, if timed and used correctly, it can support and take out smaller enemies (artillery mode). In addition to this, it can, although at the cost of time reloading and ammo, it can also kill heavies.
@@palasta there’s just one problem there’s so many more grenades that can just give way more utility than impact grenades, and when it comes to jar dominator, there’s better options, so this gives you the power to choose better options without limiting you at all
@@carlosvicenty-9856 What better options? I guess it depends how effective you are. 1-3 shots for striders and devs. The purifier is good too. Not as snappy though.
Itd be cool to see how this perfectly rms against shriekers. Vs. bot gunships, it's 2 missiles to the main fuselage or 1 missile to any thruster for a kill That makes it one of the best anti-gunship stratagems for the bot front
The power this has against overseers and watchers is UNREAL. Take a laser and thermites to deal with harvesters and it’s probably my favorite illuminate tertiary
Using this I realize I prefer things stratagems that can efficiently take things out with consistency without any sort of dice roll of the rockets themselves deciding which direction they want to approach or kill targets. Aside from squids, I'm definitely bringing the Carl Gustav (RR) because I'm guaranteed a 1 shot with precision.
I love this stratagem, the sound galvanizes me every time but against bot fabricators in artillery mode at some distance (medium/long) feels very inconsistent. Amazing weapon btw, that's for sure.
Honestly love the content its nice and concise no extra bloated descriptions no saying it will absolutely kill everything. It was an honest review of the weapon during testing.
Good job testing this, we only really got to see how it works on illuminates so far. Have seen how nuts airburst is on voteless, here's hoping the missiles are even more effective than vs overseers with the weaker soldier units to come, like outcasts. It seems like the artillery airbust has lower penetration than the full awarm of missiles. You sort of have a reasonable option in it for most enemy types, besides matriarchs like titan and factory striders.
W.A.S.P is amazing to take down aerial targets and long range artillery fire, however, against large groups the Grenade launcher is still my go to crowd control.
It's a cool alternative for when you're bored, but no min-maxer is ever going to touch this. It's not anywhere near good enough to be worthy of taking up two equipment slots. Weapons that need an ammo backpack to function have to be WAY more universal these days after all the power creep, not to mention it doesn't have anywhere near the ammo economy necessary for 7 and higher.
In my experience it was 2 bursting bile titans pretty consistently, such a fun weapon! Definitely my favorite stratgem now that I know it does all that other stuff
In my extensive gameplay. If it's medium, it will die in one rocket. If it's heavy, burst with 2 mags usually takes it down if every rocket hits. This includes the Illuminate walkers.
From what I've seen it seems like a more damage, less ammo analogue to the autocannon, very versatile, but more so against mediums and heavies, rather than lights, mediums, and *sometimes* heavies with the AC.
It 2 taps gunships as well. It's a fun weapon. I didn't love the performance against Illuminates since it's pretty weak against Harvesters(leaving few options to do deal with them effectively), but I tried it on bots last night and it was a blast.
Wonder how well it works with the mortar? I'm thinking precision orbital, a barrage, the wasp and mortar for a one man artillery crew. Grab the increase throw range passive for the extra yeet. Might make a good build.
Burst is heavy AP, and artillery is not. Burst is ironically better vs tanks and artillery is made to kill grouped enemies (it explodes 2m above the target and spreads)
it not perfect for heavies but it great for mediums...i say it quite a nice well-rounder like Autocannon with less ammo but i find that is justified. pair it with 1 sentry of your choice and u should able to cover the ground / air and groups
I'd like to file a complaint for this video not showing it against gunships good fun and informative video tho! great job! you get 5 req slips for that
So my question is why use this over the auto cannon or amr? Seems like it does the same job just not quite as good since you can’t really aim at specific body parts or smaller enemies
The rocket is a guarantee kill on all dev types and smacks down striders, this could be good for controller players who struggle with aiming the amr. Amr does do the same but it takes precision, making hard in some situations where you are under high stress. This is the fire and forget of the medium pen killers. Ease of use Item tbh.
This is much better than the AMR for Illuminate “defend missile silo” defense missions. You can hold off wave after wave of Jetpack Overseers and Tripods effortlessly.
The Wasp is a good weapon, but the anti-material rifle is still much more effective. The Wasp needs to empty 1-2 magazines on an automaton dreadnought, while the sniper rifle only needs two shots to the eye. Likewise, the sniper rifle can destroy the entire roster of automatons except for tanks and the walking factory.
Honestly, I have to disagree because the spirit has no ammo and it can’t deal with factory striders at all and because of the low ammo terrible at getting rid of the other tanks because there is just too many of them but the wasp doesn’t have that problem he can deal with everything you need it to. It’s basically just auto canon but you don’t need to use your brain and aim overall, the wasp is just a better spear in my opinion because the spear basically has no use case because everything it can do the recoilless rifle can do better and everything the walls can do the spear can such as taking down, devastator‘s efficiently destroying objectives efficiently taking down tanks without wasting ammo, you get my point
Carl Gustav (RR) over any anti tank launcher. Spear only has 3 shells and thats a massive nope from me. Plus, the vertical arc it must travel first before locking onto a target is also another minus for me should in certain situations a tank or hulk drop on top of you. I can somewhat understand if you're simply taking it to not bother aiming at all, but the upsides are pretty much pointless if you can aim.
@@ianchoi7142 Range, speed, reliabilty, blind lock-on. I see how good players aim when they try to hit gunships with RR. I'd really like to see you bring down a bunch of them at long range with RR. Or when surrounded and under pressure. "If you can aim". That if is bigger than you think. You got re-supp, ammo at pois, of course your own spear backup. If your ammo management is bad, then yea, i guess it's not recommended for you to use. The wasp needs 2-3 shots for tanks, hulks turrets from the front. That is pointless.
@@palasta and with the spear you need a whole shot just to kill a single tank when you only have three ammo mind you there’s probably gonna be like six tanks, seven hulks and one factory strider and a ton of devastated the fear is just not made for that it has no ammo while the wasp does
Am I the only one who does not like this weapon all that much? I dunno, it just feels like I miss half of my shots due to the bizarre flight pattern of the missiles
yaaaaaaaaay another support weapon that does nothing for heavies. Love that they gave it the anti-tank tag despite it being dog water for actually being anti-tank
Heavy armor pen on single launches. It's a good idea to add alternatives IMHO. 👍 one thing is not supposed to do everything. Use whatever you feel like 🙂
Like the grenade launcher its probably really good at finishing damaged heavies off - instead of wasting 2 recoilless shots, 1 rr and then wasp to finish it off if the rr missed. Good for teamplay I think. I can see myself bringing this instead of the autocannon, railgun or amr, but i havent had a chance to test it yet.
@@iowkey_9339 its labelled as anti-tank while the grenade launcher is not, nor would I expect a missile launcher to be for mid tier enemies that my primary can deal with. It should have been a less disposable commando since it also takes up your backpack and needs a stationary reload
i thought it was a vacuum cleaner at first look
this is getting pinned
Better call me The Janitor cus I'm cleaning the map.
AH recognizes we need to fill the gap of good Medium weapons. Grenade Launcher currently holds the crown but this might be another contender

The wasp is literally the same thing as the OG commando
Anti-Material rifle, normal machine gun (HMG to kind of), flamethrower, and autocannon are all great medium killers lmao.
The wasp is the ultimate medium killer with the *capability* of killing heavies and people should realize that
It fills a perfect niche that wasn’t covered before and I ADORE it
railgun + supply pack, my beloved
Autocannon, AMR, railgun, and HMG just left the chat
Auto, Rail, HMG, EHMG, Orbital Gat, Rocket Sent, AutoSent, Eagle Strafe, AMT
Like what are you talking about bro
It’s not advertised as a medium killer. It clearly says anti-tank and it needs to perform like one
Plenty of weapons covered that niche lmao. Autocannon, HMG, railgun…
Your short, no BS content is great in this format.

Vs. bot gunships, it's 2 missiles to the main fuselage or 1 missile to any thruster for a kill

The RR is definitely ol' reliable, but I like to have some variety in my loadouts and this is a very cool and unique weapon.

CHEERS I hope you get all the things you want this year!
Burst mode has heavy penetration for armored targets. Artillery is for a close group and is medium penetration.
Nice info!
Good job testing this, we only really got to see how it works on illuminates so far. Have seen how nuts airburst is on voteless, here's hoping the missiles are even more effective than vs overseers with the weaker soldier units to come, like outcasts.

Short video but this is what I'm looking for. Thanks mate
artillery has light armor penetration the seeker mode has heavy pen
Hey man, I pretty much never commented this, but I loved your video, short, to the point and good amount of humor, thanks!
Happy Festival of Reckoning!
I loved staring at the elevated ones as I ready this weapon. 10/10 love this thing.
Have one person using this, another using a Spear.
Absolute precision shut downs.
W.A.S.P is amazing to take down aerial targets and long range artillery fire, however, against large groups the Grenade launcher is still my go to crowd control.

Sweet it’s not too broken, it’s like the spear jr.
One of the best weapons for killing automaton gunships. 2 shots per gunship.
SPEAR is crying rn lol
It depends entirely on the flight path of the projectiles but even Berserkers can die with just one shot
FYI. Wasp lock on on bug Nest. If your luck. 1 missile per hole.
From what I've seen it seems like a more damage, less ammo analogue to the autocannon, very versatile, but more so against mediums and heavies, rather than lights, mediums, and *sometimes* heavies with the AC.
Wasp is just that hotter cousin of the Spear.
Reminder that the artirely has a power armor penetration than the burst.
Perfect fire and forget weapon
The random bullet travel is downside of this sometime a clear shot and it missed target also close rage is always miss but other than that cool weapon
Wasp is basically the airburst rocket launcher in bug missions, if it could not kill impalers. It's a very good iq test.
Remember when the chargers used to make a thumping noise when they'd sneak up on you?
They got them tippy toes
It 2 taps gunships as well. It's a fun weapon. I didn't love the performance against Illuminates since it's pretty weak against Harvesters(leaving few options to do deal with them effectively), but I tried it on bots last night and it was a blast.
it'll also lock onto the automaton factories from super far. usually takes 2 mags
I wonder if using the last ammo as artillery deals full damage
Wonder how well it works with the mortar? I'm thinking precision orbital, a barrage, the wasp and mortar for a one man artillery crew. Grab the increase throw range passive for the extra yeet. Might make a good build.
Wish there was less randomness to the missiles and more of a arc
Burst is heavy AP, and artillery is not. Burst is ironically better vs tanks and artillery is made to kill grouped enemies (it explodes 2m above the target and spreads)

The issue is that you can’t really not miss for this weapon, it will just fail to hit a target and you can’t do anything at all.
Appreciate you for the info. Saves me from doing it myself lmfaooo
For everyone that didn’t know this stratagem is actually from Killzone 3
I love this devs
If this thing didn't also eat a backpack slot, I might find it worth to bring.
They should do a gears of war collab, as well as a resistance collab

Why did you say “Christmas came early” it literally released on Christmas

No.
it closed one for me
@TheGundamBoi
But did it lock on to it?
How do you get this strategem
its free
@TheGundamBoi havent seen it. Maybe i am blind
This should not be a backpack weapon, it's way to weak for that.
Or more ammo on the backpack
Disagree. Its utility while playing on the defensive is unparalleled vs the Illuminate
mind explaing the "xmas came early" joke? U litterly got the weapon on xmas day yet u say its early XD
I was playing with mine on the 24th
havng used it for a while it just feels like a fancy autocannon.. but i don't think that's a bad thing, very solid weapon against all factions
Against bots i stick to the spear. Maybe it's better suited for bugs.
