Looking for advice on my stealth builds

[Daddy Kaneki]

Basically, most of the time I prefer to play an objective driving role. I wear the fastest armor so I can run around and collect samples and destroy bug nests/bot fabs fast.

I'm just a bit mixed on the stratagems.

For bugs, my stealth stratagem build has: Autocannon (destroy bug nests fast), Gas strike (slows and kills pursuers), Railcannon (needed for the big nasties since I don't bring Quasar in my stealth build) and EMS Mortar turret to cover my escape from pursuers and support the team when I'm with them.

I only take Railcannon since if I'm solo I really shouldn't be running into more than one Charger anyway. If there's a Bile Titan that area is off limits to me regardless.

------

For bots, my stealthy build is: Anti Materiel Rifle to abuse bot weakpoints from a distance and support my team with sniping. (I hope they fix the scope soon.) I also take EMS Orbital to support my team and also because it makes it super easy to line up important shots on bot weakpoints. It also helps me evade pursuers when I'm solo. Then I have Railcannon to help with tanks and AT-AT's, and the regular old Orbital Strike to oneshot bot fabs if I can't find an angle to throw a grenade in the vent.

Is there anything I'm missing? Or is there really no "right" way to make a stealth build?

Crucially, I do not have everything unlocked yet. This means that I'm running some stratagems in cases where I normally would not. For example, my stealth build against bots probably wouldn't be using EMS Strike if I had the stun grenades unlocked. In that case I'm not yet certain what I would use instead though.

There are many ways to play stealthy. It is fine. I have a different mindset and play style on that. E.g. I do not even attempt to kill pursuers. I just outrun them and they despawn. That way I have slots available for more utilities.

For support I use smoke which is not "popular" either despite its heavy effectiveness, especially during extraction.

Orbital Laser is what I recommend with Bots to take out Command Bunkers and clean up heavies. Against the Factory Strider an autocannon is sufficient if you know what you are doing. So I run instead AMR the Eruptor in combination with anti heavy support.

Jump pack for bots is great for stealth, getting on high peaks to snipe or hide, creating distance to line up shots or avoid close fire.
I always wear jump pack for bots and it compliments a stealth build perfectly

How do you take out a strider with just an autocannon?
I know you can pop off the chin guns but what else?

I think the moment the Factory Strider starts making Devastators is when the back exhausts become open to attacks. At least, that is what I have heard so far.

Use orbital airburst, great for assualt an objective site

Diligence (light armor penetration) is silenced primary that enemies won't hear it around 30m, but it cannot one-shot Devastator's head.

Senator revolver can one-shot Devastator's head for stealth kill, but has terrible ironsight.
