The grenade launcher can take out a group of enemies in a single fire. Minerals can be gathered by shooting grenades at them. You can use the grenade launchers to keep dangerous enemies away from allows or objectives.
The Stubby SMG fires very quickly. The spread of the weapon increases very quickly too and recovers slowly. Tap-fire to hit enemies from a distance. Electrocuted enemies move slowly. Upgrades can cause them to take some extra damage as well.
Use L.U.R.E when you have to retreat. This will force the enemies to attack he hologram rather than coming after you. The hologram is not going to last long especially if it is surrounded by enemies. Larger enemies are not easily fooled by the hologram.
