why not a rover to get rid of small enemys near you? maybe MG / stalwart.

Vs bugs - dog rover
Vs bots - anti-materiel or arc

Treat the eruptor like a support weapon, and take a support that operates like a primary (machine gun, arc/flame thrower)
The eruptor is kinda like a mini auto cannon without the backpack so use it for destructive purposes and use a support weapon that can take on the hordes

I used Arcthrower and EAT vs. bugs. Against bots I use the Autocannon or AMR and don't need the Eruptor. Ultimately I prefer Sickle, Quasar, grenade pistol against the bugs.

Honestly depends on what you fight.
For bugs I like the laser guard dog to murder squishies, for bots it's the shield backpack.

For support guns it also depends. Against bugs i prefer the arc thrower and flamethrower but the Stalwart is still ok.
Against bots i like the range the Stalwart provides.

For stratagems i like to run these:
Bugs: Guard dog, Arc/Flamethrower, EAT (Charger/Bile titan removal) and air strike/gas strike.
Bots: Shield backpack, Stalwart, EAT (Hulk removal), 110mm rocket strike (Tanks and Turrets).

I haven't experimented too much, but these have been working fine for me for more general utility loadouts.

I use the stalwart or flamethrower while playing against bugs. While playing against bots I use the MG and EAT.

Flamethrower, Stalwart, Arc Thrower, Rover (laser ofc). Keep in mind that if you're doing that, you're lacking anything that'll drop heavily armoured targets, so take offensive stratagems accordingly. Since you're free to take stun grenades, even with longer call-in time they can work rather well, quite satisfying to stun three chargers on one spot then drop a 500kg on them.

I use a machine gun and a jetpack with it, that way I can get to high places where I cant be hit

One of the MGs (not the HMG, though, that gun sucks), flamethrower, arc thrower, laser cannon. Basically anything with a high rate of fire and good ammo economy.

idk about bugs, but on bots i found a LOT of success running eruptor/laser cannon/stun grenades. the only thing that build doesnt kill quickly is tanks (unless youre behind it, of course) but an airstrike or precision strike will fix that

Stalwart, LMG, Arc thrower, HMG if you are fighting bugs

Against bots anything will work, just dont take the Stalwart, even thequasar works, the trick is to run stun grenades with an ammo pack to deal with chaff.

I've been experimenting with a little role reversal on this one. Been bringing in the stalwart to use as my "Primary" weapon, and using the Eruptor as my "Support". Grenade pistol secondary, and either thermite or stun in grenade slots.

sub arc for stalwart on bots

I need to try this, especially since the Eruptor can kill bot factories.

It works super well too, one trick people need to learn with the eruptor is that you dont need to keep the weapon out to rack it, you can fire a round switch to your support and when you pull the eruptor out again it will be able to fire no issues.
