I'm currently enjoying using Flurry Gun + Stim IV + Anatomy Analysis + Internationale. For one turn, you get to just sprint around murdering everything in sight, without any of the kills raising the alarm level. My record: in one game, on the first turn I killed 5 guards and 2 drones.

Flurry Gun + Stim IV: awesome combo, gives you unlimited lethal attacks for one turn.

Anatomy Analysis: so the kills don't count toward the alarm. With Anatomy Analysis, though, each kill costs you 7 PWR, which brings me to the next component...

Internationale: helps counter the steep PWR cost because as you run around, you can wirelessly hack consoles to keep your PWR up.

Optional ingredients:

Piercing Scanner: to crack the higher armor levels found in lategame.

Additional stims: to further extend your killing spree.

Decker+Tony/Draco+Anyone.Nowadays,I just go with random setup and try to adapt,which is more fun than to exploit any easy combos.

Multiple Stim III + Cloaking Rig(s) is pretty useful for scouting out a level; throw in one or two accelerator III's and you'll get a lot of power in the process as well.

Seed + Golem
Golem is better than Mercenary IMO, since Merc becomes hard to sustain even with seed.



Derek + Med Gel on the last mission. Give Central the beacon, and send Derek together with Monster towards the hub. Once Monster has finished his hacking, run him into a shock trap or some guards. Derek can grab his body (literally), teleport to the final room, and use the med gel on Monst3r to finish the mission on the same turn.

Here's a tip not many people know. You can actually use stims to revive knocked out agents, you don't actually need the medgel. It only works on knocked out agents though, not shot ones. I often use this when I'm going to cybernetics labs.

My favorite is Subdermal Cloak/Chameleon Movement/Holocircuit Overloaders and a Cloaking Rig/Stim on any agent.

Use a cloak, KO all the guards in an area, and have enough AP to "get out of Dodge" quickly.
or
For the cost of some power, use a stim to perform all the above but get even more AP

The best thing is the Holocircuit Overloaders aren't effected by the reduced KO Daemons as the shock traps are so you'll always get 2KO on guards when you vanish !

This will be really helpful, thanks man. I assume this works without mods and with any level of stim, and probably doesn't give them the AP boost as well.

Wtf? I never knew this. Is there any tooltip that says this ingame? And if not, how on earth did you figure this out?

Draco + archived Shalem for the hand cannon. Buy a charge pack each mission for him and you can max Draco out by the 4th mission at the latest, even 2nd or third if you get charge pack drops from guards. In addition to getting a super agent early, you save a lot of credits that would've had to go into upgrading him. You can even mitigate the early mission cleanup costs when needed by spending all your money before you leave.

Rush + 2 Cloaking rigs + 2 Paralyzers. Works even better with an augmentation that decreases item cooldown. You can just run around, knock out guards for the entire mission.

I wanna do a Draco run the next time I play and I'm wondering who is a better partner for him, archive Decker or archive Shalem (for the reload potential)? You need 4 charge packs to max out Draco with hand cannon, so that's 1600 credits (and you have 1 shot left since Draco starts with his own gun), with Decker you get 7 upgrades for free. 8 high-end stat upgrades for 1600 credits must be worth it, right?

Went with Shalem and it definitely worked out: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805094135

Found 2 free charge packs on the guards, bought the 3rd + a plasma gun from the nanofab. Draco finished with speed 4 and 5 in all other stats.

Shalem. With Decker you have to rely on RNG to find a hand cannon or some other gun to kill with after Decker's gun runs out of ammo. Credit-wise it's definitely worth it. All the extra credits you end up with then can go to making your other agents even better. Like I said, you can mitigate the early mission clean up costs somewhat by spending all your money before leaving (and then selling those items to Monster if you want). Cleanup costs are typically $100 per guard killed. And once you've maxed Draco, you can still use his ability on downed guards and one of the possible benefits is +100 credits.

And if RNG maxes out anarchy first, he can for sure start finding charge packs off bodies.

What's a starting loadout that works well with Burst (mostly for Expert+)? It's by far my least favorite starting program. I guess I'd pair it with Parasite, so I don't have to use it too much, lol.

Parasite sounds like the way to go. In general it's a sucky starting generator that makes no sense to use over Fusion unless if you plan on finding Overdrive asap.
