Earthly SWS not really worth it for me you can try them I didn't. But I'd say treat them pretty much like UFO counterparts. However If you manage to unlock the advanced one based on alien technology then fuck yes you will need it.

Use chemical flares and do not use dye grenades (smoke grenades) because they a re bugged the will just make a tiny patch of smoke. You are luck that the Triton has a much more intelligent design than a Skyranger the

When in some underwater mission underwater and you see those cross like orange/red pipes randomly those shits explode like a mother so use them!

Also the Sonic weapons (the TFTD version of plasma) also got a nerf/rework that they can't Autoshot. Only Aimed and Snap, this means you have to use all pistols too. Spamming Sonic Cannons (the Heavy Plasma equivalent) does not work.

Otherwisw the sonic weapons are well balanced to each other pistol is fast and still has a decent punch and one handed leaving a hand free for a melee dril.l Sonic Cannon is like a Sniper rifle it is super accurate and packs huge damage but can be shot slowly and has a really small clip. Sonic Rifle is in the middle.

Also get Drills quickly you need a live gillman (I thinnk) Just get a virbro Blade (see pic) no need for heavy drills they are ineffecftive and make it standard equipment for everyone who is not a sniper and actually goes into a USO. Drills are absolutely amazing in tight spaces and they double damage Lobstermen (the mutons on streoids) and ignore their armor. Meleeing with drills do not provoke reaction fire and prevents the bio drones (the saucer terror unit) from exploding.

I do not know about 2.0 version but as far as I experienced the vibro blade is the most useful drill out of the 3 by far. It has the least damage per stab but it costs the least TUs to use and it does the best damage/TUs. Their priority is to kill Lobstermen and Bio drones anyways and since Lobstermen take double damage from drills even the VB almost always one-shots them. Add to this that the VB is by far the lightest one to carry and is the first one available. For me a VB is standard equipment for everyone in the squad. Properly utilizing drills is one of the keys of being successful in TFTD not just vs Lobstermen but all around.

Remember attacking with drills does not provoke reaction fire, even if you are standing right in the face of the enemy.
