15:45: "I think I can make this jump" Bile Titan: "Yeah me too"

I appreciate the pre-game explanation of the build. I feel like a lot of players don’t take the time to make sure their build makes sense.

people sleep on airburst strike orbital , just pop it over a fresh bug breach and watch your kill count go 50+ as you sterilize the breach .

I especially love the Jar against Stalkers. It eats Stalkers for breakfast. I've never felt safer running into a 2-hole stalker lair than with a Jar.

When I use the dominator against the bugs I also take a guard dog for the smaller bugs.

no one talks about the grenade pistols use against bile spewers but if ur running a light armor pen primary it can be a lifesaver

Thanks for showing. I'll definitely take this build for a ride!

Thanks for this combo. I had an identical loadout minus the jump pack but definitely going to try this out. Thanks man! Happy diving!

Your jump pack recharges faster in cold weather like the laser weapons

I run decoy for our group. Very similar build to what I use. When we run 9’s, my goal is to kite massive swarms so that the other 3 can run around almost unopposed. I’ve kited tons of bugs to the point where our 4 man all split up and the 3 of them did 3 objectives at the same time while I kited almost everything on the map in a big line/circle. My teammates only ran into small patrols and the tactic almost feels like cheating at times. 100% love this build! My “secondary” was anything with stun. Stalwart for taking out the little guys and crowd thinning, concussive “secondary to bunch up and slow the herd.

Dude I was watching this to give myself an idea of a good load out and I swear this is the exact same load out I’ve been using to the tee!!!

Literally just ran this set up, pretty bad ass man ! Airburst strike over a big breach will take em all out. 715 kills pretty legit !

This is one best builds i have found. Stallworth and laser guard dog is also good to maximize kills.

Good build. I run arc blitzer, laser dog, quasar and either incendiary impact grenade or stun one. Love that build. I can just stand there and wipe out hordes of terms. Arc's stagger is just game changer to me. There are only a couple of issues using that gun. For the hell guard you can kill them but depending on how close you are it might take a few shots. However they aren't an issue in the slightest. Bile spewers can be an issue but stagger stops them from shooting. They really only become a bigger issue is if you have a ton of dead bodies around you and the arc is hitting them instead of the spewers. So you have to move around to get a good shot at them. That is the main issue with that gun, if dead bodies are around it tends to want to shoot at them even though it will hit live ones also. Quasar just one shots Chargers so I don't even worry about them anymore. Even if I miss my one shot, it's easy enough to dodge them until the cooldown is back up. Oh one other issue, real easy to kill your team lol. So I usually am out in front of everyone so I can just go to town without worrying about killing everyone.

i like Pummler + Railgun with the light engeneer armor. impact incindiaries. eagle airstrike, orbital railgun and shield to protect against friendly laser drone damage.

90h here. Weapons (for bugs): Breaker Incendiary. + P-19 + Incendiary Granade Strat: E. Airstrike + O. Laser + Queso Works like a charm. Armor: Prem. Engi. Kit Booster: Stamina or L.C (depends on other players).

I used to run a build similar to this, Stratagems, Stalwart, Jump Pack, Airstrike, OPS/flex, but instead of Jar-5 Domniator, I used the pre-nerf Eruptor. Stalwart was my "primary" while I jumped around closing bugholes and sniping mediums with Eruptor. Grenade pistol/Dominator is a good replacement for the Eruptor, though.

400+ hours in the game, here's my ultra evasion, super S tier end-game distributor of democracy build: Stratagems- jump pack, grenade launcher, airstrike, gas strike Armor: Anything with +50% limb health (less broken legs, more evasion) :] Weapons: Arc-12 Blitzer, P-113 Verdict, Stun Grenades Booster: Stamina

My favorite bug setup that I pug/solo with is the following: Eruptor (Bug hole destroyer) Machine Pistol (Hunter clear for when swarmed) Impact grenades (For spewers) Light/Medium medic armor (Longer times between resupply, tank hunter packs) Stratagems: Las Guard Dog Arc Thrower Missile Pods Rail cannon strike Eruptor won't be used for much outside of closing holes / range where arc thrower won't hit. If you manage arc thrower properly enemies won't be able to even get in range to cause you issues. The guard dog acts as an early warning system for bugs getting near you. Pay attention if it starts shooting in a direction you aren't looking at. Could be a spewer sneaking up on you. When using arc thrower, make sure that you are prioritizing hunters attempting to flank your sides, if you catch them quick enough the arcs will shoot back into main pack after engaging. Chargers can be killed in 5-6 headshots, simply let them charge by you while hitting a few times and continue killing small adds while it is taking time to spin around. Give it maybe 2-3 shots with thrower on the other adds then you can turn around for more headshots on charger to kill. Since the build relies mainly on arc thrower for kills, you will never have ammo issues. Save your impact grenades for spewers specifically. Eruptor is much more efficient at closing holes, and at range.

That is an interesting Build. I never thought of running the Stalwart as a Primary. I'm gonna try it next Time i'm playing.👌 I'v subbed to your Channel. Definitely earned.👍🏻

What's ure take on using Breaker Incendiary as Support... I think it manages medium size very nicely, while also doing the obvious damage on small mob

Got to try this. I've been stuck with incendiary breaker, grenade pistol, flamethrower, impact incendiary grenade, 500kg, eagle airstrike, and personal shield. I looove this loadout against bugs but i'd like to mix things up a little. But against Chargers like you said it's going to feel kind of meh, and I don't like having to wait on teammates (I play mostly with randoms) At the same time in lvl7 to lvl9, randoms are generally good enough and aware enough so maybe i can give it a go

Exactly my load out. Stalwart at high rounds per minute is the GOAT

IMO the grenade launcher is much better. It fulfills the role of all three of your weapons. It can clear hoards of enemies, it’s great for dealing with medium armored enemies, and it can still clear bug holes/factories. Bring something for heavies, you’re golden.

For a hand-held grenade on a bug mission, the G-13 Incendiary Impact grenade is currently the best option.

Gonna give this load out a try

How do you use the jump pack I can't figure out which button you press on PC to jump?

Maybe the jump pack cools down faster because of cold planet not sure

everyone underestimates the HMG emplacement. and yeah everytime you see a bug breach or doing a defense position, you call it down. i use the JAR-5 and either EAT or quasar but i also run the HMG emplacement for those big breaches

This is a popular build, but I find I can kill more with the Incendiary Breaker and Anti-Material Rifle or Autocannon . I also find I kill more with Gas than with Napalm or Airburst, because you can call it down so quickly and it hangs around for a bit.

Watching this early in the morning and it making me cold 😂

I use a slight variation of your build, running the dominator alongside the flamethrower and thus giving me a tool for killing chargers(flamethrower) you should try it, I travel the map with the dominator out, but I use the flamethrower for hordes and chargers, usually picking off a few medium bugs at range and swapping to the flamethrower to clean up a horde.

Stun is all use. It can save you or your teammates from being overrun.

a tip for using the dominator is to turn of the flashlight. the smoke that comes out of the gun becomes mutch more seetrough when the flashlight is off

Honestly for bugs I can’t use anything except the fire breaker. I routinely get 450+ kills on 7 difficulty missions. it just does consistent killing of all the small bugs that you can manage to take out the big bugs no problem with an auto cannon and quasar. I usually take airstrike and grenade pistol for clearing nests. I like the impact grenades. if there are a lot of hive guards or commanders I can pop a nade and then a few pops from the shotty takes em out.

I've been running basically the same build but with supply pack for more stuns and I use rockets instead of eagle airstrike as the only weakness I have is armor and it's better against single targets

Can/do you swap out the Jar for the Scorcher?

Jump Pack recharges faster on cold planets is my suspicion. Our laser weapons seem to enjoy this benefit as well.

I think the slugger ist still much better against bugs AND bots then the dominator. 1 shots hunters/warriors/small bugs, 2 shots hives, 3-4 shots spewers - all while being MUCH MUCH snappier to use. The dominator feels like jelly. Also you can ALWAYS hit reload because of the single load. Which means for every encounter - you always have 100% ammo - beacuse you never run around with 80% / 50% of a mag that you dont want to waste.

Along with the missed traction perk on the polar war bond armor, where's my fire resistance armor perks for my fire loadout? We have electrical and explosion why not fire? 🔥🙄

I tried this build but the constant switching between Jar5 and the stalwart didn’t work for me. The Jar5 takes 2-3 shots to kill the hive guards, and when there’s a swarm of them I got killed by hunters after killing the guards. Also, having to call down anti tank missiles for the charger takes too long when your team is on their own agenda

i rock a very similar build. JAR-5 Grenade pistol. Stalwart. i use light armor for the mobility but with the same bonuses. my strats on the other hand are Orbital Rail, Patriot Walker, Stalwart (ofc) and Ammo pack. it's basically all about you doing the killing and not offensive strategems, only the orbital rail available for when that pesky charger gets too cocky or to deliver one guaranteed heavy hit on a titan. otherwise it's all about the lead and when the Stalwart isn't cutting it, patriot.

you will find this load out can be paired with any stratagems， you can get away with 4 offensive orbital/ airstrikes and just pick up any support weapon you can find。 dominator is that good

How do you equip the stalwart to primary? On ps5 I can only call it down.

Ive still not tried the airburst. Gonna test it out today. But i wanted to also say as much as id like to use the dominator more, i find the slugger is a hair more accurate. I feel with the Dom sometimes ill be aimed square on to my target and somehow still miss shots.

Maybe I missed it, but how do you deal with chargers with this build?

Optimal loadout for bugs, in my experience, is Cluster Strike (for chaff/patrols/clearing obj), Rail Strike/Orbital Laser/500kg (for heavies), orbital airburst strike (for bug breaches, chaff), and Recoilless Rifle (animation cancel the reload for much shorter reload). The RR lets you take out a charger every 4-6 seconds (headshot) and you can 1-3 shot a titan in combo with your anti-heavy strike. Take Incendiary Breaker for chaff and med enemies (not for spewers, tho), grenade pistol for utility (closing bug holes) and med. enemies, and then impact frags for bug holes and med. enemies. Use a light armor. I prefer the Light Gunner armor or a light armor with the Fortified passive. Speed is very important against bugs and you don't need a jump pack if you're fast on your feet. The fortified passive is actually better at mitigating damage from bile b/c bile is actually explosive dmg. Always be looking for the nearest Point of Interest so you can resupply w/o relying solely on resupply drops. Also, remember which types of nests have ammo boxes on them, b/c some have 4-6 boxes. You really want Superior Packing Methodology to get a full support-weapon refill from each supply box.

Yup

Of course it is the best, The Emperor Protect!

could be recharging due to cold environment?

I've fallen in love with the Punisher. Use it against bots and bugs 80% of the time. Riddiculous how many lives you can save by staggering and pushing back all medium type enemies and hunters.

Stallart always sounds more good on paper than it actually is, i tried something like this but not having a way to deal with chargers outside of wasting eagles on them feels pretty bad, The arc thrower is a kinda decent middle ground for trash clear and can take down a charger retentively fast

The Jar 5 is the best all around to me for both Terminids and Bots. It feels good to use and is rewarding if used well. Everything else just feels wonky or awkward, like "if you don't use it this exact way you won't get results" and then a mile long list of ways it doesn't work.

jump pack might be recharging faster bc of cold climate, i could be wrong tho

Don't use Stalwart use Laser Cannon. It's basically like the MG-43 with a slightly smaller magazine. The Med3 pen, ability to destroy bunkers, dismember Medium bugs(bile spewers), and pinpoint accuracy at 400m is incredible.

So many good builds in this game. But so far nothing beats incendiary breaker and flamer against bugs. If I’m feeling real Balsy I drop the shield and take more supply The fire dot is just too good on helldive 9. Shoot to apply dot and forget on flyers.

the ol reliable: autocannon, scorcher, redeemer, railcannon, 500kg, airstrike Swap scorcher for sickle on cold planets

J5 is the best all around primary. There are other primary's that could work better in a build or situation. If you dont want to worry about it bring the J5.

i recently started using the stalwart, it feels really good against the terminids because of how long it can shoot side tangent for those interested: My realization that the stalwart is very useful, also made me wonder about the other machine guns. Heres what I've gathered thus far. Stalwart: Ammo 250, 3 mags (Can move while reloading) Machine Gun: Ammo 150, 2 mags (medium armor pen) Heavy Machine Gun: Ammo 75, 2 mags (more Medium armor pen) All machine guns: when you start to get to the bottom of a mag, the bullets turn red. idk if they gain any special properties when they're red or if its just to let you know how low you are. the stalwart is really the only MG worth using currently as it allows you to move while reloading, and the heavy MG has a few problems. If I could choose how these guns would be balanced I would do this: all MGs have 3 mags now. Stalwart has 200 bullets per mag now Regular mg has 250 bullets per mag Heavy mg has slightly reduced recoil (just enough reduction so using the highest fire rate while crouching or prone feels better) and 150 bullets per mag these changes would give a unique reason to pick each MG as the stalwart can reload while moving still, the regular mg can fire for the longest, and the heavy has more armor pen

sync the game's timer on the upper right to the jump pack usage, it's 20 seconds.

I used to use it with the eruptor, then they fd us over

If you take lazer drone instead of stalwart, it can double your firepower

Been finding the pummler good for bugs

What level was the game play? Would like to see 7+

People need to use gas orbital and Gatling barrage. I see a lot of people using the air burst, but I feel like the amount of times I get team killed by it is ridiculous. The Gatling barrage and gas strike both have faster cool downs than the air burst and have the same killing potential (50+ kills) without the instant obliteration of team mates since their deployment isn’t immediate damage. It takes a bit of time and you can survive a few seconds in gas and can tank a couple hits from the Gatling barrage. Run with stuns and the Gatling barrage can do some serious chaff elimination and even damage chargers if it’s done right. Won’t outright kill them but can crack armor if enough shots hit.

Hot take: Plasma Punisher, once you master it, is the best primary but only for bots.

It's the best weapon by elimination..

jetpacks come back faster just like heat weapons on cold planets if im not mistaken

Blitzer the best against bugs but of course shit with bots. If you want the best for both then dominator!

Stalwart for Bots, Flamethrower for Bugs, stalwart will suppress and head shot most Bots, flamethrower ignores armour, and with stuns can kill a charger real fast, can gut shot a titan fast too, making them easier to deal with, without their spew attack, doesn't require you to get a good aim on the gut sacks like an MG does.

Grenade pistol the fence.

My only complaint is the recoil is too high.

is this not a primary? im confused

I heard 100 subs and i had to hit that cuz this is a good ass video for only 100 subs

They need to nerf the bile acid.🎉🎉

whats the best primary for bots

500KG is all bark and no bite

when is everyone going to learn NOT TO PROMOTE how powerful and good weapons are, they WILL NERF IT! stap!!

Ever since the changes I can’t really find any solid builds and it’s getting on my nerves, at least anything that’s fun and not annoying

Been telling people this fir month's

haha, meanwhile a few sprays of my incendiary shotgun = 20kills

Cuold be an interesting build if you play with friends. But seriously if you just quick play with randos you need an answer for heavies ( charger and titan ) 500kg alone is not enough sadly.

Dominator is a primary weapon but why secondary in the title?

Dig the dominator but it isn’t better than the scorcher

Jar-5 forever. Even after gettin Plas-1 scorcher. Jar-5 is still my champ. 1.5 mags kills a tank if ya shoot it in the back.

I've been using Eagle airstrike Orbital cannon Quasar cannon Lazer guard dog Breaker incendiary/electric shotgun Grenade pistol High explosive grenade I cycle between either the white, green and red light armor with extra stims and 64 armor rating And the light armor that gives you 100 armor rating. It's like a brownish color

Dominator became a secondary now?! edit: no it did not. why do u think it is a secondary when it is in the primary category?

Secondary?

I been running this except incendiary breaker/ GRENADE LAUNCHER/stun/g-pistol/ ROVER/AIRSTRIKE/ORBITAL STRIKE ARMOR :DEMOCRACY PROTECTS. HAVE FUN EVERYONE AND DONT FORGET TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD UPSTAIRS FOR EVERYTHING THANK YOU JESUS WE GET TO LIVE SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN ENJOY PLEASURES SUCH AS THIS.

Jar is a primary. Pistol is secondary and your heavy is support. Just sayin

There is a glaring hole in your strategy: Chargers.

500KG is very inconsistent ive seen the weakest eniemies walkaway from it

First its a primary not secondary. For me, best weapon against bugs is the Railgun with the Pummler to stun spiters and kill them.

I’m confused, why does the title say the dominator is the best secondary weapon? Did I miss something? It’s literally in the primary category?

I think you mean Primary, not Secondary. The Stalwart is a Support Stratagem, not a Primary. 🤦‍♂️

IT ISNT EXPLOSIVE

You mean primary surely?

Jar 5 is good. But scorcher is better in my opinion.

I don't think you play 8 or 9 very often. Your build is unviable for Bile Titan swarms. Primaries are primaries for a reason. You need be able to handle light and medium enemies without assistance. JAR5 simply cannot deal with adds. The fire rate and handling are both slow AF. If you die and drop Stalwart, you are screwed.

Anyone else still use fortified against bugs because of team mates?.💀
