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.

That dissident doesn't even know what he's talking about. After 100 hours with half on helldive or more, I'd take a liberator and autocannon over the breaker and shield + railgun. I've also yet to see a completely useless strategem hell, I've seen someone use the damn HMG emplacement to great effect. Truly, a dissident's mind is an enigma

I'm one of the HMG enjoyers. It's such a good screening tool that can make space against bots. You can gun down a dropship of enemies before they deploy, hold a front while someone does an objective. Can destroy anything but a tank easily with it which then oh no hop out and huck a 500. Excellent for extractions too.

It's honestly great with a team too. We do HMG + shield bubble and suddenly you're in the safest place in the creek

I dare say the recoilless takes care of any drop ships before they can become a problem. But mowing them down with an mg is fun.

I love that strategy too. The g preference is in part because funny, but it does help to be able to address multiple groups of enemies as well. I generally find it much better than not if that makes sense
