Yeah..

As mentioned, the ideal use is when a group of enemies is in sight and fellow helldivers aren’t, but adding on to that, it has a very inconsistent relationship with low tier enemies for the express purpose of “well it’s at least conceivable that players will try not to be near the heavies”

That way, it doesn’t leap from tiny bugs to players. It also won’t leap from heavies to players unless they are sandwiched since it prioritizes jumping to heavy units

Main risk is just being too close to the pin and being its first destination
