Best weapons and customisations for apothecary

[Jaded]

No mercy, 2 man squad, friendly fire on
The guy I play with usually picks chaplain

What would be the best weapons and customisations to best tackle this situation?

I think the Hellfire pistol and passive self-regeneration perk would be a good start, after watching this player do a solo run using Apothecary on No Mercy mode:

On NM the self-regen is meh.
+30%HP perk (at least for me) worked better - far less 1hit deaths.

I don't know what's the "best", but bolter perk + bolter mk2 is the best fun :)

Do you happen to know what customisations he was running aside from the self-regeneration?

Hellfire is good for stunlocking enemies. With either self-healing or extra 30% HP, you will be very tanky and able to stun and kite enemies for days.

One thing to be wary of if you're running with a chaplain - if he activates his retribution shield, any ff you do on him will result in massive damage to you. That makes hellfire pretty dangerous to yourself if you shoot near him, unless you two communicate well with each other.

Redemption with the extra perforation perk is your higher dps alternative which also doesn't obscure your teammates' vision with the flame effect, but lacks the stunlock ability.

With FF on the hellfire can be a liability not to mention blocking line of sight - although a devastating weapon it can do more damage than good when at close range especially with FF on
My preferred Apo load out...
Redemption with accuracy barrel and the usual reliability and larger clip and Bio reader sights or
MKII bolter ... with damage barrel and reliability and larger clip and bio reader sights
For the Apo class perk i take the extra damage for Redemption or the one for the Bolters if running with a MKII or MKI for that matter
Then for the armour buffs as always take Acid protection and then i take extra Armour and the cooldown for self heal
... my reason for self heal is if i am dead i cannot heal anyone

but if they all dead you cant heal any1 anyway xD (thats why i take mass heal)

mmm... you have a point...

For me,
I pack the Redemption with the Redemption Armour perk.
Cut down time on the Mass Heal.
Leave the dr's glove on of course.
Range boosts
Whatever armour boost you pick, for me it was max swarm defense I think.
...and a shot of whatever your poison is lol
