− | + | Smoke launchers are useful when disarming turrets, since the smoke can totally prevent them from locking on. Since the smoke blocks line-of-sight, you don't need to directly blanket the turret with smoke - as long as there is smoke between you and the turret, the turret will not lock on. By inching closer with a smoke launcher, you can approach safely. Continuosly firing smoke at a turret can keep it blinded indefinitely - allowing others to safely destroy it or handle other threats. Smoke is also useful in preparing for a melee rush. By reducing the accuracy of ranged weapons your melee fighters will find it safer to charge in. | |
