Repel Invasion D10 possible?
haven't really found a way to deal with 20 flying overseers and 30 more on the ground chasing me with that big stick
good weapons for dealing with that amount of them quick?

Solo? You just kite forever with barrages, Orbital Laser and Jump Pack. You gotta cheese it because the mission doesn't really scale.

Group play doesn't need to use cheese though. Just bring AT, some way to pop shields, Orbital Laser and maybe an FRV.

so either way just ignore the horde of overseers with speed?
120 ,380 ,bullet guard dog, grenade launcher.
lib carbine , grenade pistol, thermites.

supply pack is a good option , minigum and machine gun turret too.

have a good team is cherry on the cake.

Autocannon, Flak. Just keep using Flak. Also, the focus for Repel Invasion isnt fighting the mobs, the respawn timer will outpace your guns, the resupplies, the turrets and your teammates.

Run and kill ships, which the flak can 3shot shields and one APHE dump it in

you can take a bit of time but you have to track wich ships are on ground, the more time they spend on ground the faster it depletes. It refill your status bar on destroy.

a HE grenade kills normal overseers quite easily... The flying ones. Turret i guess

Tesla Tower works well

You avoid everything except Elevated Overseers and just rush the Warp Ships. You can try to kill the Elevated ones, but it's rough.

Maybe you can fit in an MG Sentry to help you deal with the Elevated Overseers, but that means one less stratagem to throw at Warp Ships.

Forgot to mention, since Ultimatum has been fixed and doesn't go through Warp Ship shields your best bet is Thermites with Engineering Kit armor. Thermites can still go through shields (most of the time).

The map has a bunch of free resupplies on the ground, so you can rotate through those locations between ship spawns.

If you kill them as you go, they can never build up to a critical mass.

I think ultimatum still works
WASP will one shot any overseer (flying or grounded, even with shield up) in the normal fire mode. If there's a group you can send 2-3 shots at the target and it will splash damage the others enough to outright kill or make for easy cleanup.

It will also one shot watchers, 4 shot flesh mobs, one clip harvesters (from the side exclusively, you need the damage to hit the leg) and also nail stingrays

I've been getting conflicting info on this. It wasn't supposed to blow up Warp Ships after the major patch, but it still did. After the last patch it didn't work for me, but some people still say it works for them, so IDK. Maybe I'll test it today both solo and when joining a game to see if it's dependent on networking or something.
Supply pack and thermites all day.

Also Takibo on Youtube has a tutorial on how to do it solo.

grenade launcher and supply pack, and rush the ships. Either spam nade on shield until it drop, or use a spam weapon such as sickle/DE sickle to drop the shield first.

You can also use the GL against overseers/elevated overseers if needed, it two shot them.

AT cannon can be usefull if you find a big empty area, you can place it at the border, ready for the good moment to be used, since the ships have a good chance to try to land there. Might as well shoot them down before they land if you have a LoS

Orbital laser might be nice if you let a big patch of ship build up at the same place.

Best advice i can give you is to continue to hit and run. Hit a ship and leave, head to another location, keep moving. Don't stop and fight anything. You need to keep on top of destroying deployed ships, if they get 7 or 8 deployed, you will be overrun with an endless tide of overseers and voteless. This is by far one of the harder missions, especially if your not running a full team. I literally fight NOTHING unless its directly in my way. Focus is purely the warp ships. Dive dive dive dive, it's all you do. And yes, it's annoying.
Hit and run. Pray you don't get shot by 50 overseers chasing you like bees.
