(Edited tips: The real juice on this perk is the heavy object throwing more than the flares, so I emphasized that. Also tried to give a more nuanced tone rather than "this perk is bad".)

Tips

  • It is almost always faster to repeatedly throw heavy objects instead of continually carrying them, and Strong Arm can boost this technique even further. This perk is especially helpful for missions that involve heavy objects, such as Point Extraction or Salvage Operation.
  • Strong Arm allows the player to throw flares at a considerable further distance. This is useful when dealing with large caves or gaps, when there is no Scout.
  • Consider this a trade-off with Unstoppable; it's better at moving heavy objects, but with a Scout on the team, the flare throwing distance is much less helpful than resisting slowing effects.
