  • T1A: Preference
  • X1313 Special Powder: Provides mobility and CC in a pinch at the cost of damage at range
  • (Boltshark) 1X111 Cryo Bolts: Stationary clear in Cryo/Sludge comps
  • (Boltshark) Fire Bolts: CC in public lobbies, also good with Combustive Goo

Grenades:

  • Pheromones: Overpowered, considered cheap and cheesy for modded difficulties in coordinated teams
