Any fun off-meta builds you guys got for me to try?

[Knight Diver]

Recently I've absolutely fallen in love with the jump pack/anti materiel build. I usually run it with the constitution or counter sniper depending on how I'm feeling, or maybe even the liberator carbine. I think it's a lot of fun and wanted to try some other uncommon builds that people cook up.

Way back in the day I used to use the OG laser gun with the laser cannon, laser dog, and orbital laser just for memes, but it was viable enough on bugs at least.

I don't really care about the meta dudes telling me how to have fun, I'm just wondering if anyone else has cooked something silly/cool up

Any chance to spread the glorious word of the Torcher is a chance I will take!

If you want to get completely silly with it:
- Torcher
- Crisper
- Incendiary/Incin Impact
- Jump Pack
- Flamethrower
- Napalm Strike
- Napalm Barrage.

Absolutely useless on bots but it's not all that terrible on bugs so long as one of your allies has something for chargers and titans. Bring flame resist armor because the bugs WILL spread your fire to you.

Of course, if you want a much more stable and less meme version, I've got two of them:

This one lets you use whatever armor you like tbh, but flame resist can still be nice for when hunters light you on fire.
- Torcher
- Grenade Pistol
- Incendiary/Thermite
- Shield Pack
- Quasar
- Orbital Laser/Strafing Run
- Napalm Barrage

I usually prefer extra grenades when I run this build since thermite is your *only* AT option.
- Crossbow
- Senator
- Thermite
- Flamethrower
- Supply Pack
- Strafing Run
- Napalm Barrage

Jump pack + quasar vs bots is very fun imo, but possibly a bit meta.
It's nice to hop around bases and one shot sniping fabricators from any angle.

Similar to your laser build, i like bullet hell builds vs bugs.
Gun dog + stalwart/MG + gatling & MG sentry or eagle strafing run.
Some explosive primary for bug holes and a thermite nade for heavies just in case.
Obviously very weak vs heavies, but usually at least one teammate has AT.
It's so satisfying to tear down entire hordes and having the sound damn near bug out because of the crazy amount of bullets being fired.

Also heavy armor + crossbow + ballistic shield + static shield vs bots is nice.
The devastator armor looks REALLY good when holding a shield and it makes you feel like an actual juggernaut.

arc thrower is very fun with the new stun-stacking ability, and the targeting is refreshing to use compared to normal weaponry.
stack it with a jumppack for even more fun

There is some guys who made "pyro" build against bot and cadet build against bots.

grenades build: light armor with engineering kit, impact grenades, jump pack, grenade launcher, eagle 110mm rocket pods, orbital smoke, orbital gas

-Light or heavy medic armor depending on mission type
-Stim pistol
-Slugger+Support pack or pummeler SMG+Ballastic pack (latter only for bots)
-Fill out other slots with things to feel niches unfilled by the squad.
-entering random games with "Field Medic reporting." Optional.

I run hard support. I don't get a lot of kills, and my 3 stats at the end of a mission typically are 0-1 deaths, 30-150 stims used, and 0 accidentals. Missions also typically end with lower than average casualty rate.

"Laser rotation" is fun. use the scythe and the dagger switching between them to avoid overheating. throw on the laser backpack for fun.

Thanks guys, I'll try some of these out

If other people keep posting I'll keep checking stuff out, these are pretty cool

Fire (bugs, D7 or lower):
Step 1: flame thrower
Step 2: gas dog

Fire does fire things while gas dog blinds and disorients. Highly effective, terrible against alpha warriors which is why D7 or lower.
________
Lightning (bots, close range biomes)
Step 1: arc thrower
Step 2: bullet guard dog

Arc thrower stuns while guard dog shoots. Hard counters heavy devastators. Never have I had so much fun slowly walking into a mortar position to cook it with lightning while guard dog just unloads on everything and anything. Round out with Senator and/or sentry to help cover factory striders or gunships.

(similar effect can be had with the Halt)
