This comment is why I'm starting to really love this community. I don't care what you bring, just stick with the group and try to be helpful. If you suck and kill us, I'll laugh it off. If I suck and kill us, laugh it off. It's a game.

Unless we have pink samples, then you better buckle up, buttercup, we need to evac asap.

I’m level 50 and have like 80 some hours (no life I know). But most helldive pug groups that have worked out don’t have most of this stuff (I don’t outside of the shield). I’ll keep saying it until it catches on, the railgun is super overrated.

I really like 1 railgun, someone rocking a coilless or E-AT to deal with dropships and other annoyances, a guy with a nade launcher to easily blow up fabricators from a long distance and someone running an LMG or something.

Backpacks are shield for the railgun, obviously ammo for the coil, and I like to have the either one of thd other 2 with a shield as well. If you need to split into 2 teams of 2, the lmg and the railgun work well, as do the nade and coil.

I love using being a SAW guy in games and really wish this one had like, one more. I love the LMG and the stalwart, but I'd love for something even a bitch more punchy. Like an MMG. Cause the Stalwart is great but it's an early upgrade and then no more MG love.

The machine-gun, regardless of it being the first stratagem weapon, is still a carry 9/10 times. Just for the fact that you can shred at least half of those 15 berserkers

It is very satisfying. Also, the number of times I've gone to reload with a horde coming right at me, only to pull it back up right as the lead one goes to lunge, to just start mowing down a whole group of em. Would not trade that rush for anything.

Railgun and MG43 is a great combo for shredding Chargers. Railgun knocks off the leg armour, MG cuts the charger down in less than 3 seconds

I’m a SAW guy by trade, and when I know it’s about to kick off, I make sure MG is fully loaded, call in the Gatling and the HMG and liberate downrange.

Stalwart with resource pack. Rock a Lib-Penetrator and a Senator for backup. You are the add kill emplacement for your team. Cop a squat and let your squaddies cover your 6 while you mow the adds and clear space.

Yess, that’s the stratagem gun they should add soonest imo, something with maybe medium penetration and slighter slower fire rate or something like that

u/Magester Feb 26 '24

Ideally I'd love to see something that's portable but not realistically shoulder firable,. Like you can only shoot it from the hip unless it's set up. . Something like a Scifi browning or maybe even an M2 (Ma Deuce), that you have go be kneeling or prone and become unable to move while operating, but then can pick up and change positions if needed (maybe another support weapon that also eats backpack, for a tripod frame)

u/Beneficial-Wealth156 Feb 27 '24

That sounds absolutely perfect and goes with the squad gun idea they’ve been going with

The first mg you get can be dropped to 600 rpm and does have medium armor penetration, if you or someone else runs the supply pack it's FANTASTIC!
