The Orbital Airburst and Gatling Barrage are both useful and have low cooldowns. Use these stratagems to fill gaps in your loadout and destroy enemies at chokepoints.

The gatling barrage is lower cooldown and higher armor penetration, but the damage is not consistent across the AoE. The Airburst has a much more consistent dispersal of ordnance, but has a lower armor penetration, making it better at clearing smaller enemies, but still able to damage exposed weak points.

The Gatling barrage's length makes it work well against bug breaches, while the Airburst's spike damage works against the relatively more compressed deployment from a bot drop. EDIT - and likely Illuminate once the Warp Ship leaves!
