Best Weapons against Terminids for Crowd Control?

[The Slap Man]

And if possible, good loadouts with them for The terminids too.

Gas works well. Grenades, orbital strike are the best followed by guard dog and the primary sprayer. Pummeler and Lib Concussive. Sentries count as crowd control to me as they tend to draw heavies and if they heavies don't break them then they kill chaff. My favorite terminid sentry is the humble machine gun sentry. It has a very short refresh. MG sentry and orbital Gatling barrage are my 2 most selected terminid strats. OGB isn't crowd control per say but it is crowd decimation so close enough.

Crossbow.
This bad boy can do literary everything.

There are that gas spray thing, but that may not play like other weapon very much.

[Prowler™]

MG43...one of the most under used weapons in the entire game.
Incendiary grenades if you have them
Eagle cluster, gatling, airburst...all fast recover stratagems that shred light enemies...

Honestly just use the MG43 and your other slots for heavy deleting stratagems. No need for warbond locked items. Even shreds chargers if you toggle the fire rate to max as it runs past.

Eagle Napalm puts a neat line of flames between yourself and the nasty bugs. It carpets a generous area while being precise enough to use at close range and around friendlies. And as an Eagle Strike, you get 3 of them before it needs to cool down

The crossbow is literally better than the Grenade Launcher. It does more damage per shot, and has more ammo, and better range and better accuracy. The only thing the GL does better is rapid fire, or rather rapid ammo-depletion.

Blitzer.
Stun effects builds the more you fire into crowds of bugs.
Can struggle with piles of corpses though...and bushes...

- If you have the time to wait for the cooldown, either Exosuit does a lot of work against bugs.
- Orbital Gas is a given. So is anything with "incendiary" or "napalm" in the name.
- Machine/Gatling Gun Sentries you can basically drop and walk away.
- All the _____ Barrage strats and Eagle bombs are useful. See a base, drop a Walking or a 500kg, wait for the "mission complete" notification.
(Related to Eagles, there's a Ship Upgrade that grants 1 additional use on every Eagle strat. If you don't have it, I suggest getting it as soon as possible.)
- Flamethrower is good if you learn to control it. I'm not good with it myself. Airburst Rocket Launcher is also very useful in the same vein, but requires you to have a lot of distance before firing it.
- MG and Stalwart aren't really "crowd control", but they do have a lot of ammo!

For the rest of the loadout...
I usually default to shotguns when I fight bugs. They may not kill everything as instantly, but they stagger enemies, which is really important. Anything gets too close, you want at least one weapon that can stop it dead at close range even if your shot doesn't kill it. Because Stalkers exist, and so do headless rambos abusing some kind of invisible Last Stand perk. There's multiple weapons with good stagger, but Punisher/Slugger is one of the most readily available and has a very fast reload speed.

Any pistol is good. Any grenade is good except Thermite. There is no armor that's going to protect you if you get swarmed, so make sure your offense is solid. You don't want suddenly be helpless just because your strats are on cooldown.

TL;DR
Get the biggest boom for the shortest cooldown on your stratagems.
Make sure your primary weapon easily staggers enemies.

Can do all loadout:

primary: cookout
secondary: senator
sup: recoiless
nade: impact
strat: gatling barrage, eagle cluster, orbital precision strike

light armor of choice (medic is good, so is stealth one)

And you are set. Recoiless for bile titans and chargers. Cookout has great ammo economy and stagger. Keeps chaff away, stun locks stalkers. Nades for crowd control and bile spewers. Senator for single med armor enemies. Stratagems purely for crowd control. OPS for closing holes and gen purpose ♥♥♥♥.

You can swap OPS for shield backpack if prefer better survivability

Grenade launcher. Just remember to bring something that can deal with heavies; be it another stratagem, or teammates.

[ah, salmonn]

purifier rifle, crossbow + pistol sidearm (or the white one), regular grenade (4 second fuse).

[Titibrine12]

Flamethrower. Use it with armor that protect you against flames. Get yourself a Guard Dog, any type can work well depending on your playstyle. The primary can be anything has long has its: quick to use and has decent stagger. Since it is a team game, you should not be worried about armoured enemies since your teammates should get them. If you feel uneasy about your teammates take a orbital railgun, but remember that you can cook a charger and a Impaler quite easily in a pinch.
Just be wary of you teammates. Fire hurts like hell.

well OP looks like taking advices for their content for free anyway.

Blitzer, Stun or Gas Grenades, Grenade Launcher, Supply Pack. 2 anti armour Strats.
With "almost" unlimited ammo, you will have a lot of fun with this build.
Blitzer ist great vs Stalkers and Alphas. You could pick the Fire Breaker as well. With the Ammo Pack, you will have more than enough ammo. But the Fire Breaker is not very efffective against Stalkers and Alphas.
