what's the best loadout for level 6 and above because i have absolutely no idea how to face the endless hordes of eenemies with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless weapons we have at the moment

[Commander Shepard]

Come back when you reach level 15.

[Belyth]

I go with:
Bots: Scorcher - Redeemer - Impact Nades // 500kg - Laser - Shield - Railgun
Bugs: Scythe/Punisher/Breaker - Redeemer - Impact Nades // 500kg - Laser - Shield - EAT

Play what you find fun. And have fun.

Come back with stressful questions once you hit at least level 20 and you've unlocked everything.

Solo? For stratagems: EATs probably would be a good pickup, low cool down and can deal with chargers and Titans. Just shoot the charger in the leg, use your primary to finish it off by shooting the exposed leg. Eagle Air strike is great for taking out medium armoured enemies or objectives. Eagle cluster bomb does a great job wiping out big groups of smaller enemies, and some lighter armoured enemies (I've even killed freshly spawned chargers somehow, I feel like this is a bug). I sometimes will bring orbital railgun, a bit of a lengthy cooldown but is a guaranteed 1 shot on chargers and other medium armoured enemies, even tanks. Grenade launcher is also a good support weapon for dealing with groups of enemies, and bigger enemies like bile spitters.

Personally like the breaker as a primary, med-close range, good damage.

The best weapon is to select a lower difficulty til you can handle it, and learn how to play the game before going up in difficulty and wasting reinforce counters.

Every weapon is usable even at 9, its the loadout that need to make sense and be versatile in solo, or combine well with your team loadout.

Bugs/automatons require diff loadouts.

Experiment yourself

i recommend using the single loading shotgun you get right away. It has heavy stun on most bugs and can take on almost everything unarmored. Its a great weapon reload inbetween shots and you will have 100 percent uptime. Take one form of an airstrike/ any heavy weapon for big clear on larger enimies. Maybe one turret for defense while doing objectives Others strategems can be your deciions. Its always nice to have a ROBO dog for personal defense.

Basic Scavenger / Bile Spitter / Hunter / Warrior / Nursing Spewer (the yellow one) / Stalker:
Every fast firing primary, for example Liberator / Defender / Sickle

Spewer (the green one) / Brood Commander / Hive Guard: Auto Cannon / Anti Material Rifle / Grenade Launcher

Charger: EAT / Recoilless Rilfe / Flame Thrower

Bile Titans: EAT /Recoilless Rifle / 500kg / precision strike

Or if you want to kill everything except Bile Titans, just get the Arc Thrower, ez win


But if you think our current weapons are useless you better git gud

[Phishfood]

I'm assuming you are you level 6 and not trying to tackle difficulty 6.

The expendable anti-tank is a great choice for any heavy enemy. A single shot to the chargers face plate will kill it.

For hordes any of the eagle stratagems are decent. As they give you multiple uses before it goes on a 2:30 cool down, unlike orbitals that go on cool down straight away.

grenade launcher is decent, will let you close bug holes from long range and clear out tightly grouped enemies.

gatling sentry also great, sentries overall have a fairly short cool down.

[Wolvenova]

Sounds like your standing still shooting friend,
Try scootin' and shootin' amigo ;)
They will keep calling more if you don't kill all the little ones quickly*
Stealth is an option even up in 7-8-9 difficulty <3 but running is essential everywhere XD

[Mahjik]

Are you referring to Helldiver Level 6 or "map" Level 6?

[Prisoner 76561197992841073]

Ignore everyone else. They have NO IDEA what they are talking about - they have barely been promoted from cadet. This is the load out you really want;

1. Ballistic Shield
2. Orbital Smoke Strike
3. Shield Generator Relay
4. Supply Pack

Primary: LAS-5 Scythe
Secondary: P-2 Peacemaker
Grenade: G-3 Smoke

[Korrex]

Seriously, try things out to see what you like; don't depend on others to tell you what's good as people's playstyle and skill level make experiences vary wildly.

For example, if you can aim then the Anti-Material Rifle is a S tier weapon against the Bots, but if you can't then it's B tier at best.

Your greatest weapon will always be positioning, finding ways to funnel/avoid enemies and create ideal encounters. That can make a D tier stratagem feel like an A tier. I would say more are viable than not, as long as you have a diversified loadout, or stick with/compliment your team (are they anti-armor heavy? try to keep the light buggers off of them, bring horde-clearing gear and EMS)

Remember, the higher difficulties are meant to feel hellish! Enjoy the chaotic fun

The only wish i have is that people under lvl 15 STOP PLAYING HIGH DIFFICULTY. I have not had one single game yet where they do not get completely destroyed and have useless loadouts and go like hah im lvl 10 so now i can play at least diff 6 without issues...no...no you obviously cannot.
