Great bug loadout

[🌠Deusgo]

Primary-crossbow
Secondary-Whatever you prefer
Special-arc thrower
Backpack-jump pack
Throwable-thermite
Strat 1-500kg
Strat 2-napalm barrage
The crossbow is used to destroy bug nests and kill small hordes, and the secondary is used to kill shriekers. The arc thrower is amazing, you can hold off entire bug breaches (tip-try to funnel the bugs so they are coming at you from at most 180 degrees as to zap more at a time) and the jump pack is great for getting out of sticky situations, or jumping to places the bugs cannot reach. 500kg is great for bile titans and impalers and medium/small nests and can be used for breaches if in a pinch, while the napalm barrage is for complete area denial such as wiping out a heavy nest so you can comfortably swoop in and hit those bug nests. The only time you will need a re supply is for stims, ammo is never an issue for this build, and the jet pack makes it so you can find POI’s with stims no issue

Great difficulty 5 loadout.

Looks to me like a 100% acceptable Difficulty 10 load out. Especially if you have Extra Grenade Light Armor for Thermiting every single Charger that you Stun with the Arc Thrower. Builds main weakness is Bile Titan / Impalers when you run out of 500's and Thermites but your Team should have plenty of Anti-Tank to support your only flaw.

I'm particularly fond of Arc Blitzer + Grenade Pistol + Frag Grenades + Recoilless Rifle. Grenade Pistol / Frag grenades take the place of the Crossbow for Nests / Spewer killing. Blitzer stuns everything that isn't a Charger or bigger but the Recoilless one shots them when aimed properly. My main weakness is Shriekers which I've learned to bug zap as they dive.

I do wish the Arc Thrower could be auto-fired like the Blitzer instead of standing still for 1 second to charge it up each shot. Gives the Blitzer a lot more mobility in-between shots.

For terminids I tend to pick:

Primary: Cookout/Purifier
Secondary: Mini-Flamethrower (I'm enjoying the new plasma pistol too)
Grenade: Gas/Thermite

1) Recoiless/Autocannon
2) Eagle 500 KG
3) Orbital Gatling/Gas (for zoning/dealing with hordes of smaller bugs)
4) Flex pick, whatever I please, depending on if I'm playing solo or with friends, and difficulty, but usually go for another eagle/orbital, or a turret.

bugs even on dif10 are doable with most loadouts as long as the players know what they are doing

ive really been thinkin about orbital barrages lately and im starting to think they're not all that great. you've got to wait it out or walk around if someone throws it on obj and it just leads to more bug breaches and botdrops because you're waiting that extra minute before pushing obj giving the breach timer time to reset
