What armor to use in Super Helldive Terminids? What's the meta?

[Radi]

What's the best? What type of armor and what exact armor?

[Dr. Rockso]

The one you prefer?

Do you need more nades and better recoil?

Do you want to have more mobility?

Do you want to be able to throw further?

Do you want more limb health?

Do you want to take a 50% chance of not taking a fatal blow?

Do you want more stims?

[Five]

any

medic armor

[DrLamp]

whatever keeps you alive longer

[PhellAsleep]

I prefer more grenades. My friend prefers more stims or better weapons handling. Depends on what you're using and playstyle.

[Derglesnaf]

Whichever has the most drip. It effects the enemies.

Whatever fits your preferred loadout the best. Whatever helps you survive better.

Really, some people (like me) swear by light armor, some will tell you they can't go without medium, and a few brave souls pick heavy armor against terminids.

And it's the same when it comes to armor perks: you have the extra padding lovers, the stim addicts gourmets, the thermite-tossing maniacs, the gym bros who like having big guns on their arms in addition to their hands, the gamblers who love the feeling of surviving stuff they have no business living through, the pyromaniacs who want to see the world burns (including themselves), the stealth enthusiasts, and the basic bores who just don't want to instantly melt when hit by bile (that's me).

Is there even some kind of meta regarding this, I don't think there is, it's all up to your general playstyle and what stuff you are planning to carry with you. I run light armor with extra nades for bugs or if I'm feeling like using HMG or weapons that have the slow aiming penalty, I take the aim drag reducing armors.

On the bot front I tend to just take heavier versions of these or if I'm feeling extra boring I just take the explosive damage reducing armors.

Objectively speaking, nothing beats Engineering Kit. It has two bonuses, both of which are highly useful. More grenades and less recoil. You can beam bug patrols easier from distance and you definitely need more nades. Whether for nests or thermites on chargers.
Luckily for you, the light version of it is currently on sale in the super store. If you don't have Democratic Detonation. Otherwise there is one right there on the first page.

That's not "objectively speaking". That's according to how you personally value that particular boon.

I don't see a clearly defined meta even on difficulty 10. Builds are generally very diverse in my games and people gear more for drip than anything.

[Brother Belial]

whatever you find fun.

personally I'm currently having massive fun with

Heavy with more nades.
Tenderizer
Grenade pistol for bug holes.
Termite nades
Orbital Gatling
Orbital Napalm
Liberty pen Guard Dog
Machine Gun.

Also this,
I have armour sets for bugs and bots.

Either more grenades or better stims; maybe democracy protects if you have a severe gambling addiction. That's it. Other passives have no real value outside of extremely specific circumstances.

The armour should preferably be medium, as it sometimes lets you take one more hit over light.
