Beeline for the ODST upgrade and leader power upgrades if not in deathmatch, this also includes elephant upgrades if you can. If in deathmatch, just forget research center and do barracks in the back and rest is supply pads. Depending on the map you may never need any elephants.


You can use it for a glitch to surpass your population cap. Very silly but just keep it at your main base. You can mark it by locking it up once you get a real base.


These go behind your lines and free up creep spots for taking, very handy in deathmatch to snag a LOT of bases at the start. 3 can run the reinforcement show for deathmatch but can be used for special defense or elephant reinforcement if needed.

Quite litterally just spam ODST's and hot drop them on bases when attacking to spread their defenses thin. Can cripple a base easilly and make a small army in deathmatch. Did i say small? I meant regular sized.


Not a clue why this happens but if you have starting warthog alive and spam order units you can order over your population cap. I have no idea why this works but i can get 100 units. 100 seems to be the hard limit.


All anti infantry is...infantry, so spam hellbringers if they spam hellbringers or jackals.


-Base grabbing
You can grab bases not taken or occupied by creep by simply sending your spartans, their splasers can wreck house. Just send that way and check up in a hot minute to order a firebase.
-Raids
Select your odst blob and send it toward an enemy base and do these things in order on arrival

1. MAC blastx4 on base center
   
2. Hot drop ODST's around empty base flanks
   
3. Select all ODST and press special on base

Should level it very quickly and in seconds before the enemy can react. Then march on to another base and repeat once the big mac is charged up.


Some key areas based on map can be crucial to defend, such as the energy walls on crevice or the mini buildings on beasley. These can be reinforced with the elephant and act as mobile bases for this strat. Place within range of these places and put flag where you need a steady supply. Your hot drop has a cooldown, training does not.
You can also use it to reinforce sentinel factories or the heal spire for example to secure heavy air defense if they make a vulture. But your rockets can take out almost anything.


As you well know, anything to attack a base that isnt a vulture will be a vehicle or infantry. However anti vehicle turrets are your best choice due to the fact most are vehicles(duh) and the railguns decimate infantry for some reason. this was also a thing on console but to a lesser degree. I imagine its a weird code anomaly. Just pick those for every turret and dont worry about your bases unless a scarab drops. Then just slow it down by hot drops till you can hit it with a big mac run.
