SvM Loadouts

[CapitaineYolo]

Im somewhat new to SvM and trying to understand the rock-paper-scissors nature of the game. There are many discussions about loadouts which simply come to a conclusion akin to "dont do X its terrible, do Y instead everytime"

While im well aware that certain pieces of equipement are less situational than others, hence more popular and considered better, im interested in finding combinations of equipment and tactics that make everything work.

Here is my attempt at spy loadouts:

1: Hack

Weapon:Crossbow
Goggles:EMF
Head:Anti Tag
Torso:Cloak
Hands:fast Climbing
Legs:ID blocker
Feet:Silent
Gear:Sticky Cam

2: Ranged Support

Weapon:unmuzzled UMP
Goggles:Sonar
Head:Gasmask
Torso:Intel Suit
Hands:Armour
Legs:Extra Gadget
Feet:Armour
Gear:Trophy, Smoke Grenade

3: Melee

Weapon:Mac-11
Goggles:Thermal
Head:Anti FFD
Torso:Overcharge
Hands:Melee Range
Legs:Armor
Feet:Fast Sprint
Gear:Flashbang

General gameplan for the Hacker is to use emf to scout panels and only from secure positions like vents (no FFD protection). during the hack he can oversee one area/entrance with a sticky cam.

Panthers Overcharge takes away mercs vision modes for a brief period, allowing him to run at them without being detected easily. Thermal vision is not affected by the overcharge. Mac-11 is a good, high-burst backup weapon in case you cant close the distance fast enough.

As ranged support im trying to stay at a healthy distance to mercs until ive set up a nest, then provide cover fire and draw attention to me. the more attention i can draw, the better. I chose smoke grenades because they doubles as 1: a decent escape tool incase there are vents nearby my position, 2: a way to ensure i win the firefight. The intel suit is useful for showing me the direction mercs are facing in real time, making it easier to pick them off without retaliation.


Mercs:

For Mercs I actually have no exact ideas yet. I would still like to cover all my bases, having every suit/vision/and major weapon type at my disposal. This also means having one merc with an Lmg. Feel free to give feedback on my current loadouts and advice for the merc ones ^^

[HEY]

Use rfd disruptor on Ranged Support with smg and trophies and smokes/emp.
Dont use Gas mask Its too situational most of the times it wont help you.
The one you call rainged support is the one kind of loadout i use but its to get kills so i have max speed and the stealh suit or the overcharge suit.It has only 4 dots of armour.
Cant coment on anything else as those i manly use only one loadout.

As a merc
Best weapons are ak,arx160,sasg-12
You should get a disruptor with intel devices and resuplypack.1 of the loadouts i use
Another is max possible armour with ak 47 and adrelerin( i am sure i spelled this wrong) and frag grenades.
