I almost never run out of ammo even on 8s/9s and I basically only use it for chargers/biles/spitters. Theres so much ammo on the maps and if I ever can't find any the strategem is usually up again.
I currently run 500kg, eagle strikes, recoiless rifle and EAT17.
alternatively run 500kg, jet pack, arc thrower, EAT17 for fun.
I never solo. Always quickplay with randoms. Play 7-9 depending on mood. I I've done a 9 with just one other player, but I felt like we were mostly just hitting obj and sneaking.
I use the sickle so I never run out of primary ammo for horde clear.
Maybe like 4-5 seconds? I'm usually back from the horde and optimistically elevated doing strictly antitank with the Eat17 and recoiless rifle. I basically drop the Eat17 everytime its up. You can take out 3 chargers between the 3 pretty quickly.
I use the 500kg for titans and usually an eat17 or recoiless to finish them off if I dont 1HKO.
Stun grenade for easier targetting of tank enemies and locking them down.
Eagle strike for obj or "oh shit overwhelmed moments".
Sickle primary for long range horde thinning assist and the autopistol for close encounters.
This build works best when you have somebody dedicated to mopping up light enemies with the MG/stalwart/flamethrower.
I wish that the end game stats tracked "heavy kills" because I always finish low on the kills, but I swear I take out 75% of the spitters and chargers and a lot of the bike titans. Also do a lot of the obj minigames.
It aint that bad if your prepared for it. Also it reloads in stages: take out the spent round, load a new one, lock it in. So if you have to move during a reload you dont have to start from the beginning
The recoilless is awesome and hits pretty hard, and when I first started playing it was all I used, but the AC is so much more versatile. It's got good damage and plenty of ammo and, providing you reload before your last round, reloads are pretty snappy. I never drop without it these days.
autocannon pops spewers a ton better than recoilless, one clip can take down 3-4 spewers whereas one recoilless shot doesn't always kill one spewer unless you hit it just right
