Tactical Advice

.. Collateral damage works with heat ammo and does solid damage vs robots ..Better than flush + heat ammo combo since collateral damage cannot miss .. Perfect to get rid of pesky hard to hit seekers and drones that get tons of HP and DR as the game progresses .

HEAT Ammo + Collateral damage will consistently deal 7 damage to robotic enemies (10*0.75 past Railgun tech) . Keep this in mind if you want to clear a clustered group of drones or seekers (with less than 7 HP) Heat ammo bonus damage currently bypasses all damage resistance mechanics and is just added as percent of base weapon damage. Careful because it cuts both ways (some aliens can get Heat ammo too) .

Stat Progression

Rank	HP at level	Total HP	Aim at level	Total Aim

Lance Corporal	0	1	3	6
Corporal	1	2	2	8

Tech Sergeant	1	4	2	13
Gunnery Sergeant	0	4	3	16
Master Sergeant	1	5	3	19
