Sickle + Rover for all enemys except tripods.
Quasar to oneshot tripods and destroy parked ships from afar.
500kg and gas strike to destroy parked ships on the run and for convience.
Gas nade for utility.
Havent found a fun offhand yet, so it usually ends using the grenade pistol.

You have to hit the joint between body and leg. easy close up, harder from afar.

i use medium for the good mobility without survival draw backs. i didnt found a fitting perk until now, so i use padded armor for some extra overall survivability.

Booster: stamina if no one else brings it, otherwise the new booster (it rips overseers and zombies alike).

Stalwart + Dominator/Scorcher works pretty well against all the infantry targets with a focus on voteless.

MG-43 + Liberator Carbine/Knight also works pretty well, but less focus on voteless and more on armor.

Spray and Pray is fun, but not overly practical

Ballistic Shield is very fun, flavorful, and practical. Best with heavy armor.

how do you take down the ships? I have shot them in many places with EAT-17. But nothing happens.

The loadout I usually run is:
Gas Grenades, Orbital Gas Strike, Stalwart to deal with Voteless

Reprimand + Street Scout armor passive for Overseers

Stun Baton and Shield Generator Pack for anything that gets too close when I need to reload

500kg and Orbital Gas Strike for the landed warp ships, 500kg is also to help with Harvesters

I also bring the new booster, because having an extra turret to help clear enemies is always nice

The flying ships can be destroyed be hitting the circle on their bottom, though EAT seems to need 2 hits, also quasar. RR oneshots them.

The parking ships are much harder then bot factorys. What allways works is a 500kg, also OPS and gas strike when you hit the ship directly (which is not hard).
You can also shot down their shields (small arms with high rof) and shot/throw explosives into the doors (one nade is enough).

Hint: the engine part on the backside of the ship deflects physical objects, wich may lead to unexpected hit areas (this includes the pokeballs).

Forget it. It doesnt matter. Can't f play at all. game crashes 3 or 4 times during each mission.

Dead sprint is missing..

Tenderizer for Zombies
Laser Cannon for Overseers and Harvesters (is a bit slow for harvesters but usually i am not alone anyway)
Guard Dog for my own support
500Kg and OPS for parked Dropships
Dagger as secondary if my tenderizer is blank at one point

But i have to admit i only played till D7 since now. Dont know if that equip works on highest difficulties

I would say AMR is actually a bit better to kill overseers and harvesters but i am not so good with perfect weak spot hits so the laser cannon is a little bit more forgiving in that regard

the warbond stuff is great for them. bought the baton in the shop and had a blast. the only issue with melee i have is that my team mates want to pop heads next to me to feel like they are saving me? wildly swinging a baton into the meat grinder and someone ALWAYS has to engage it and ya get killed cuz others

-Scorcher is insane for hordes (explosive) and the illuminate soldiers with or without shields (medium armor penetration). I never see anyone else using it. It's semi auto, aoe, medium armor pen and accurate at range.

-Medium armor pen semi auto pistol, forget the name.
-Impact nades for hordes, soldiers AND tripods.
-Recoilless Rifle 1 shots the tripods if hit in the eye.
-500kg
-x2 Gun turrets
