Big tip for using the halt for anyone. If you set your gun customization menu to let's say "R" for keyboard, or "left d-pad" for controller, and then set "move right in gun menu" to the same key or button, and then have both inputs set to press, you can just tap that keybind and it'll immediately switch the ammo type you're using for the halt, making it much, much easier to use. This makes killing Alpha commanders alone extremely easy because you only have to hit a few pellets from the stun rounds, and then switch to flechette and you can consistently two-shot them to the head
@@syahrules If you're on PC there is a very simple tutorial to edit the config files (which is totally allowed) and it works like a dream. th-cam.com/video/rzEPxsqjQtI/w-d-xo.html
Personally for controller I like “X” bound to Weapon Select Right and leaving everything else the same That way the binds don’t conflict with any other weapons Hold Square then tap X to change ammo type
I love the Halt's utility. If you can master the ammo toggle, it can completely shut down must units in the game. It has amazing versatility with both the bots and the bugs, as long as your secondary + support weapon can cover its weaknesses.
So, I don't have it yet, but how does stun mode fare against heavier enemies? Wiki says stun rounds are AP 2, does that affect their stunning effect? Also, I suppose they sort of work against groups due to pellet spread?
@@Annokh It pretty much stuns everything excepts Bile titans, tanks, factory striders, and gunships. You can also only stun hulks on their back vents. Other than that it can straight up stop chargers/stalkers/brood commanders/devastators/walkers you name it. Awesome weapon overall.
When it comes to choosing between the AR23 Guard Dog over the LAS Guard Dog, how do you determine which one is better? Just trying to understanding your personal thought process on the build choice? P.s.- Guard Dog breath is my current favorite
Guard dog rover (laser): better sustained damage, burn effect. Guard dog (liberator): stagger, lots of head shots. Makes it really good against bits because it keeps popping devestators in the head.
I'm gonna be honest, once they buffed the Bullet Dog to a lib Pen, I've never gone back to the Rover. The Rover may shoot FOREVER, but I have killed myself and squadmates FAR MORE with that stupid thing than the Guard Dog.
@@CaveMonster yep. It also seems to do a better job at killing things quickly. Rover burns em up and does great DOT but sometimes you just need the bug dead lol

Interesting. Going to give this a try

Ty for advice
what a great tip thank you
Thank you for not being a crossbow only main
it's very strong but I prefer guns :)
This is my build, with the exception of having an Advanced Filtration drip on so I can wade into the toxic mists. The Bullet Dog is just SO GOOD now.

@@striker22343 Okay, this actually sounds pretty damn exciting.
Halt and guard dog has been awesome for me on the bot front

@@CaveMonstergotten hit one time by regular one. Rover kills me 3 times a mission on avg
the laser one is still better in my opinion
