I had a similar build with Scythe + Arc thrower, electric resistance, and tesla coil and it's awesome
Hey thanks for watching. Hope you subbed 😀
If it works, it works 😀
I've been using the same build but with the sickle instead. The orbital gas is also great in tandem with the tesla tower.
Over the last couple of weeks I've settled on for stratagems 500kg, 380mm barrage, machinegun and the guard dog. Equipment, Viper medium armour to swing mahcinegun like a stalwart, Sickle, currently experminenting with gas grenades after using impact for a long time and the machine pistol back up.
I run mainly with randos since returning in August so this can do bit of everything, Sickle handles voteless and watchers as well as strips shields, machinegun for overseers and will kill Harvesters in a pinch. 500kg for mass clearing and big targets (has some inconsistency issues on the warp ships) 380's for big bases and do a great job on the warp ship reinforcements. I was running the rover at first, but I find the basic guard dog gets a lot less team and self kills and it can shred any flying overseers that get close. As for gas grenades I am liking them more than impacts, they dont kill as fast, but they can hold hordes in place making them more situationally flexible.
@maddlarkin I have to agree with the change from the Rover to the ballistic guard dog. I didn't realise how powerful it actually is with it's medium armour penetration! Just gotta make sure it stays supplied with ammo but it is now my absolute favourite stratagem 😀
Thanks for watching, hope I did enough to get a wee sub 😀
I like this build, I didn’t think electric and lasers would prevail against the illuminate but it works really well
Hey thanks for watching. I appreciate that. I'm glad you liked it. 😀
Great video! Gonna try this build next dive
Thanks buddy! Give it a go!
If you don't like the limited uses of the orbital laser, the railgun also takes out the ships in one shot, even through the shield. It has unlimited uses and a rapid recharge of 63-70 seconds (upgrade dependent).
I also run a jump pack instead of the guard dog so I can get on top of the buildings and stay high. The only enemies you have to worry about are the flying overseers and the harvesters. You can quickly take them out and have plenty of time to recharge stratagems as you move across the rooftops.
I’ve been using lasers since they dropped. I’m the laser guy. And maybe ch to my surprise the illuminate hate it. Let us dive!
@Nebulisreconx hey thanks for watching! Hope I did enough to get a sub. I'm glad that you favourite weapons are finally paying off! Let's dive! 😀
Havn't tried the new factor yet, looks like a viable build to try ! Thanks
@IanVella hey thanks for watching. I hope it helps you. A tip for dealing with harvesters, when you get close in to them they will use an arc thrower on you rather than the one shot beam of light from their eye. So use the armour and get in close, the arc thrower won't harm you and you can use the laser to shoot off a leg safely.
I can attest to this build. Amazing!!!! Makes light work😊
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying it.
Squidzombie.... love it 😅
There is no other way to describe them haha.
Gas grenade works good too instead of incenendary
@justinfolk2832 thanks for watching!
Definitely worth a try :)
Thanks @TheGoon
oh cool it’s basically what i’ve already been using 🤠
Great minds think alike.
Another awesome build! I've heard that the legs are the weak point on the harvesters, what do you think of that?
Yeah, I noticed that the legs fell off after death last night and thought they might be the weak point.
@@angelicalmcgowan I've seen that too. The joints at the top near the Pod seem to be weak. And the eye. I think I've managed to take them down with a machine gun.
Everything is better with legs in the air, if you ask me
@@ArchieSmash1983PGA 💯
I do find it hard to get any purchase though 😂
Goated build!
Never been a fan of the Arc and laser weapons but they work wonders in this combo
Also I swapped the machine gun sentry with the rocked sentry to focus on harvesters, laser cannon to pop their shield and let the turret aid in finishing it off👍🏻
@master-coldsauce7155 sound efficient dude! Could be a duo thing, once with a rocket sentry and one with an mg.
Definitely a fun build, except when your laser guard dog kept killing me. Your equipment has it out for me.
@@MerlinwisdomandRusticwares haha indeed! My guard dog knows who is out to harm me... 🤨
@thegoon8884 it was only the one time, okay maybe two or three. Alright, maybe more, but I swear it was never intentional haha. Except for the time I wanted to test the throwing knife. But I thought the shield would stop it. I swear
@Richard2894-d7g I don't believe you... 😀
I've been playing with your infiltrator build for bots but using the rover, sickle verdict, arc thrower and precision orbital and 500kg.
Run fast, hit fast and move on. 👍🏼
Sounds good! What is the cool down on the OPS?
@@thegoon8884 about 75 seconds. Take out a ship in one shot. Also found recently you can take out the shields of a warp ship with the sickle and then throw a grenade into the open door.
Yeah I do that with the laser cannon and a grenade pistol shot. Find the trajectory easier to judge with the pistol... kept hitting the door frame with hand grenades lol
👍🏼
Thanks pal. :)
Is it true Saquon Barkley is a follower ?
So I've heard.
Burger Dog thinks this build looks pretty lame
@nw7115 that's helpful. I bet burger dog plays on 6 or 7 difficulty at best...😆
No i dont
@tristanwhittingham2484 haha, there he is... 6 and 7 too high for you? 😜
@tristanwhittingham2484 p.s
No you don't think the build looks lame or play on 6 or 7? 🤔
@thegoon8884 I think the build is good, but sadly, I'm only level 16
