Alright, we'll take a break from swamp runs after this, promise! After so much fun with the Spear vs Terminids, I thought I'd revisit the Recoilless Rifle again to see it if it still measures up. In short? Yes. As long as your aim is true, there's a lot less left to chance when it comes to your Heavy kills, and you also don't have to worry about enemies being too close to target, outside of point blank FF.
While the double turret + OPS setup from the Spear build would work just as well here, I decided to mix things up with the Gas Strike and 120mm Barrage to throw on Bug breaches. Though beware of teamkills...
Big thanks and apologies to my teammates ‪@originalSPECTER‬, diabolical_frog, and TUnforgotten for this one.

Build:
Recoiless for Chargers (1 headshot), Behemoths (1 leg shot) and Titans (2 forehead shots) - just remember to walk forwards for the Behemoth shot. I still like to bring the OPS as a backup AT option though. Orbital Gas Strike and 120mm Barrage can lock down Bug Breaches, no problem. You could swap one of the Orbitals out for an Eagle for sure, though beware that a lot of Eagles get blocked by the tree canopy in this biome.
That leaves everything smaller to the rest of my loadout - for my primary I'm taking the Punisher for one shotting smaller enemies as well as stunlocking Stalkers - the Senator fills in as my medium pen option for Hiveguards and Bile Spewers, though I'll bring Impact nades with the extra grenade armour for extra Spewer spam. Simple, but effective.
