by BrokenBuilds Editorial
Combat Mk. 3 Aggressive, Heavy shield, Hullcracker launcher strips boss plate, Jupiter sniper punishes the exposed red core. Squad-only -- soloing the Queen ends poorly.

Notes
Hullcracker is the only Launcher-ammo weapon in the game, which matters because its 100-damage pump action strips Queen / Matriarch armor plates in two hits where every other weapon needs seven. Once plates drop, Jupiter cashes the red-core window at 60 damage per Energy round at 71m range. You need at least one squadmate running a Hornet Driver and one more on aggro duty; a solo Hullcracker is dead meat the moment the Queen charges. Dolabra is a potential Jupiter replacement once its stats ship, but at 1.22.0 Jupiter is the proven pick.
