I often use Thunder/Orkan Boa for beacon defense on maps with obstacles to hide behind (i.e. center beacon on Yamantau, Canyon or B beacon on Powerplant etc). With it's small size, speed and high health, I can usually kill multiple enemy bots before going down.

I always wait until enemy comes around the corner and unleash full clip of Orkan/Thunder at near 0m range while moving left/right to avoid some of their fire.

I have used Thunder/Pinata Leo for this purpose as well, but Boa is better at this as Leo is larger (more surface area to take damage) and slower.
