Primary, secondary or weapon stratagems- doesn't matter which, whats your weapon of choice?
Getting sick of dealing with those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lol

The las-98 laser cannon will kill them in about 2-3 secs if you aim for their heads.

Scorcher can kill them reliably in 6-7 shots to any part of their body, less if it's the Jetpack.

The absolute easiest weapon is the WASP, though not at extremely close range. However, my main squid load-out uses the Double-edge and Laser Cannon, which both also work really well against overseers.

I like stunning them with the Halt and blasting them with MG or a buddy can take advantage and finish them off

AMR. You can one shot them with 200m ads and head shot. The scope misalign is fixed now.

I second the AMR, it's so good vs Illuminate.

WASP is great for everything but Voteless. You can drop Elevated Overseers from clear across the map. Not as good in forests or close quarters.

Tbh if you really want to build to counter them you want:
Heavy armor with explosive resist
Pummeler
Senator
Ballistic Shield

They cant do much against the Ballistic, their bullets just bounce. You shoot them 3-4 times with the Pummeler and they go stationary in the air making them very easy to kill(same for the ones on the ground). Senator 1 hit kills Overseers with headshots.

Tbh it was a decent loadout even before the shield could block melee, now its even better since you dont care about the Voteless nearly as much as before unless they surround you completely. Pummeler also 1 hit kills Voteless with headshots so you can pretty much clear a hoard on your own with a single mag if you dont spray n pray.

The reason you want a explosive resist armor is to reduce the splash damage from the Overseers on the ground, with the resistance you barely take any health damage from a direct hit to your shield. Helps against the flying Overseers grenades too ofc.

You can also block the tesla towers and zaps from Harvesters with the shield or if you are super spicy block the Harvester laser for a whole second.. or maybe a little less.

Basically you become a immortal god against the squids unless you manage to get zapped past your shield or a big laser beam drills a hole in you.

Purifier kills them consistently with 2 charged shots.
It's also great to deal with hordes with it's AOE, you will probably end up blowing yourself up if you let them get too close. Still doable if you have a feel on the blast radius even if they're right in your face, or just use uncharged shots if they're too close.
