  • This build is top drawer and will help you absolutely crush 800 squids in a round. Can you really ask for more?

    I had a similar build with Scythe + Arc thrower, electric resistance, and tesla coil and it's awesome

      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 😀

    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.

      @thegoon8884  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @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.

    Another awesome build! I've heard that the legs are the weak point on the harvesters, what do you think of that?

    • @thegoon8884
      @thegoon8884  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I noticed that the legs fell off after death last night and thought they might be the weak point.

    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👍🏻
