The PILA is a great launcher for taking out vehicles, particularly UAVs, due to its lock-on feature. Position yourself behind cover to get time and space to lock-on and fire. Pair it with a lightweight weapon such as an SMG since you can’t run around with it.
While you can use this for taking out infantry, it has a long trigger time so moving targets will be hard to hit. A good strategy would be to prioritize hitting sniper nests that may be hard to infiltrate on foot.
Make sure you have a Munitions Box since this is the best way to get additional missiles. Pair it with the Overclock perk so that you can keep replenishing your ammo.
The PILA is great for use in Ground War due to all the available vehicles. There’ll be plenty of targets to hit and disabling enemy vehicles will be vital for giving your team an advantage. This weapon is also vital for objective-based modes like Domination and Headquarters since UAVs here can determine the outcome of a match.
Like the rest of the Launchers, the PILA will have no weapon or attachment unlockables as you level it up. Instead, players will only be able to customize it by equipping it with Camos and Decals. Raise the PILA to level 11 to start doing camo unlock challenges for the launcher.
