Im sorry orbital smoke and diligence (not counter) sniper, for how I treated you

After reading some posts here and hearing about smoke + the diligence sniper, ive realized something. Smoke is fucking incredible and the diligence is far superior compared to the counter sniper on the bot front. Ive never been one to touch difficulty 10, but I repeatedly got through missions only managing to accumulate a max of 3 deaths on one mission, only because of a painful sample retrieval. The diligence is perfect for the fact that it wont cause bots to flinch, and smoke is literally just a fucking clown-ass option that allows you to to literally anything you want while the bots are busy being dumbfounded at the concept of object permanence. Combine that with gas grenades, a jump pack for movement, quasar for fabs and turrets, and a machine gun turret for quick distractions? And you've got the perfect stealth loadout that lets you zip in and out of any objective.
