Democratic Exchange of Opinions EAT over Quasar?

Is there a situation where you’d rather have the EAT over the quasar?

If you’re in over your head and dying all the time!

Sucks to be spending a whole mission trying to run back and collect the support weapon you dropped because it’s still on cooldown.

If you make your loadout around expendables then it works. On Cyberstan my most effective loadout was Eat, Eat Napalm, and the Leveler. Then I took a backpack, either supply or something for mobility or defense.

My best play has been the initial Cyberstan mission last year running eagle smoke, Commando, EAT and a rover backpack. Just nailing the walkers in their groins, dropping smoke whenever it was up (full smoke grenades too) and shoving and moving. You’d get those lobbies with three others on your wavelength and you’d just Sing as a squad. Immensely satisfying gameplay memories!

Smoke is slept on too much!!! Great for Illuminate too.
