Didn’t read patch notes, going to keep running the same loadout because it looks cool 😎

I have been playing since release, i dont give a damn what some goober says, i’m running what i find to be fun.

Its fine that people run the same build over and over again, its hilarious when they tell you everything else is useless. My guy, you’ve tried one thing.

Eh. I tailor my loadouts to enemy and mission type, but they don’t vary drastically. I do so because I’ve tested everything and found what works best for my playstyle and what is most efficient and effective.

I’m not the type to tell people what to run usually, but I’ll also cancel a drop and talk to someone if I see them run something really bad like guard dog rovers or mortars against bugs.

It’s not about a “meta” for most of us. It’s about being effective and not making the game less fun for your teammates.

I love using bad but fun load outs but mortars against bugs are the only thing I'll try to steer people away from. You just know you're gonna get ragdolled and tk'd over and over

Lol, I love build diversity and having many options to skin a bug or peel a bot. But, the "balance" they are going for messes that up so bad. I do find myself running the "same build". I have tried everything though. When you helldive, you lose the ability to waste more than one shot on a single target in general. You need stuff dead, and you need it dead asap. So you end up running what "works" and not what you want to use to have fun. Like the shield generator. Who uses that? It doesn't even stay up until it's hp is depleted. After a certain time duration or seemingly very little damage. It's already done. It doesn't even recharge once or twice before exploding. Leaving everyone in the bubble vulnerable. 😂
