I've just about come full circle with this game. I started playing with my sons back when it came out and cycled from being an Autocannon/tank character to running solo ops with the jump pack and anti material rifle. Now I'm starting back up and have reverted to using the Autocannon again, but I use the fire-proof, heavy armor so I can bring the Double-Edged Sickle as my primary. I use the sickle to clear out enemies closer to me than would be comfortable with the AC and then switch to the AC to devastate anything farther off. There is a one handed anti-tank pistol you can get in one of the warbonds that I'm using as a secondary, but I'm not committed to that yet. It is hilarious to launch it where the bot drop ships set everyone down.

What are you using and how are you using it these days?

I like a lot of variety, so I switch every few games depending on team build.

Bugs:

Breaker + laser pistol + thermite (breaker max ergo with duckbill and drum mag)
flame + hover pack + autocannon turret + 500kg for tank busting (or go recoilless+ gas strike if no flame armor)
sentinel + hover pack + mortar + cluster bomb for anti-small units
airburst + 500kg + orbital napalm + rocket/auto sentry for all-around

Experimenting with the epoch and laser turret now, but not impressed with the laser turret and the epoch can explode butts, but it takes 3-4 hits for bile titans and the 45° random direction makes it inconsistant

Bots:

Deadeye + laser pistol + thermite
heavy SMG/countersniper + grenade pistol + stun grenade is also good
commando + jump pack + autocannon turret + 120mm for fast roaming and outpost destruction
heavy machine gun + shield pack + 500kg + gatling for solo or bad teamwork runs. It can kill anything alone except factory striders

Squids (I don't like them as much)

deadeye/scorcher + laser pistol + dynamite
commando + jump pack + 120mm + napalm strike

As you can probably tell, I am a light armor player lol
