Do you mean specific load-outs or game-play styles?

Well, either way, here's a few of both:

For the bugs, I like either the cookout from freedoms flame, exploding crossbow from democratic detonation, and the blitzer from cutting edge. Each of these I bring a different set of stratagems for but some big ones are the Napalm orbital and eagle, gas strike, regular sentry, Gatling sentry, flame sentry, 500kg, poison guard dog. For secondaries I like the grenade pistol for bug holes or the senator. Poison nade, fire nade, or thermites.

Bots I enjoy the previously mentioned crossbow and purifier from polar patriots. Both do explosive dmg, which is nice for bots. Recoilless rifle, 500kg, almost any of the eagles, oribital barrages, laser. rocket sentry, and a BIG one is the anti-tank emplacement. thermites nades.

Squids are the easiest. Just big any of the machine guns depending on your build, orbital Laser too. Crossbow and purifier are some of my favorites. I enjoy the axe or stun lance against all the squids, but the ultimatum is nice for bases. Bring the laser and a regular sentry and you'll go crazy. I've also gotten 150+ from a single portable hellbomb if you throw it at drops and group up all the enemies.

Play both bugs and squids like zombies, while playing bots from cover. You can easily run, and get behind a rock and take out what's chasing you with bots. In bugs, you have to be paying attention to what's always on you, and be on the move all the time. Just run and gun. Squids you can basically walk through and take no damage.

this is for doing major orders.

You can focus on missions like Eradicate and Evacuate High-Value Assets. Those tend to have a greater concentration of enemies in a shorter period of time than the other types, and at below 15 minutes run time, you can do many of them over the same period as a full 40 minute mission. You would need to dump the operation each time though, in order to choose another after completing one, so that would hurt liberation rates.

If you don't want to do that, you can aggro everything you run into on the map during a regular mission, and be sure to let bot drops or bug breaches occur as frequently as possible, then nuke those areas with whatever you have.

The guard dog is the easiest way to rack more kills without a care in the world.

Gaz and fire stratagems works well too if no one Kill Steal with explosives.

[Haggis MechHaggis]

airburst rocket launcher for bots flies you up the leaderboard for kills real fast

You have to be more detailed next time. My thought is exactly like whale lol. All you have to do is purposefully cause reinforcements to jump on you in all factions. Live your horde shooter dream!

I'm over here taking out a jammer and mortar while this guy is a aggroing patrols

Do the objectives

Stalwart. On Low fire rate. If that thing had a scope I'd be in heaven. Everyone seems to diss that gun, but it has saved me and my fellow helldivers more time than I can count. Sure, It cant pierce heavy armor, but when you have 300 enemies swarming at your team, the stalwart will see you through( complimented with generous helpings of breaker shotgun)

But yeah, kills dont matter. Objectives and picking up mats nets you more EXP.
