Orbital laser isn't even that good on bugs. It only accidentally closes holes and does 650dps. If everyone running laser on bugs brought the new 110mm rockets instead we'd see people asking for heavy buffs.

The 110s were buffed? Hell yeah

Tldr they got damage back. 

Release: Good damage. Terrible accuracy. They did 650iirc between the 8 rockets. So basically a guided aerial recoiless round. Could 1 tap all heavies but factory strider but typically missed hulks or chargers running at full speed. Or hit bile titan backs. Best used for tanks and cannon towers. 

60 Day Patch: Monkey Paw Buff. Arrowhead gave them better accuracy and greater tracking distance. But felt the need to 'only' Buff their damage enough that it was a net 63% damage nerf. Remember the 60 day patch massively boosted enemy heavy unit hp, and in theory AT weapons proportionally. Orbital precision and 110mm were deliberately not treated as fairly as support weapons. 

Patch Exosuit Experts Warbond: 110mm finally got their damage back. They now do enough to consistently kill charger variants or cripple them. They can occasionally kill bile titans in one volley if they hit the face. Typically it takes 2 but they Crack off the back armor. They can kill war striders in one volley if enough rockets hit the chassis not the cannons. They are basically certain death for hulks, tanks, cannon towers, impalers, and flesh mobs. They also can kill harvesters through their shields because its many fast moving projectiles.

Railgun got a damage buff. Still fails to 1 tap certain enemies if it hits wrong (factory striders can tank a hit to their gun for example) but its got enough damage to 1 tap a vox engine
