Breaker Incendiary was so common due to need for AT support weapons, not because it was overpowered.

Breaker Incendiary was very good, but not my favorite primary for bugs. It's not great for spewers, and the teamkilling potential was annoying. I almost always ran something else.

However, whenever I was running AT support strategems, it was my "safe" primary pick because it could deal with large trash mobs *with less attention* than other primaries. Spray hunters with the Breaker, run away and reposition, take AT shot, rinse, repeat.

It's the need to have at least 2 AT support strategems plus 500's/OPS/Railcannon in the squad in 8/9/10 that forces the Incendiary Breaker into such a high pick rate. There are too many Chargers. We often see 4 at once in Level 8.
