Considering some weapons, armors and stratagems are noticably better than others, and we haven't gut a huge amount to pick between yet, the loadouts are more or less obvious for a solo player. That being said, I enjoy your content.

A little trick I discovered: when calling in a strategem, sometimes I have trouble isolating the correct one, when looking at the list. This tends to be a problem when I haven't memorized it yet, or maybe I've changed up my kit or the scrambling effect is messing with stuff and especially when shit is hitting the fan and I'm kiting enemies around. Enter support items first and air strikes/orbital strikes last. You want the air and orbital strikes at the bottom of the list, so you can look straight to those, instead of looking into the middle of the list. So I enter railgun, shield, then the airstrikes, with the most frequently used one as last. It's not a BIG deal, but even a fraction of a second can be the difference between getting that air strike in or not.

I like your content man, keep it coming! I'm looking forward to seeing your channel grow

Arc thrower is a very good alternative, it destroys large swarms of enemies very quickly and you will never have to worry about getting swarmed at all. It can kill chargers and bile titan too though rather slowly, but you have other stratagems for that. Guard dog rover is also useful as you don't have to worry about getting swarmed, and I find dodging attacks isn't too hard

[BackwardsPancake]

Kind of typical that they released the first balance changes immediately after this video came out :D

Although, they don't seem too bad? Will need to test them for myself later. (Railgun should still be OK if you use it on unsafe, and the breaker is only worse for magdumping it in full auto. The shield still does all it used to, you just need to wait longer for it to recharge. And armor damage reduction should work now, so that may make things a little easier.)

To quote the most relevant parts from patch notes, for reference:

Breaker: Decreased magazine capacity from 16 to 13, increased recoil from 30 to 55
Railgun - Decreased armor penetration in Safe Mode, decreased damage against durable enemy parts
Flamethrower: Increased damage per second by 50%
Laser Cannon: Increased damage against durable enemy parts, increased armor penetration, improved ergonomics
Punisher: Increased total ammo capacity from 40 to 60, increased stagger force, increased damage from 40 per bullet to 45 per bullet
Breaker Spray & Pray: Increased armor penetration, increased fire rate from 300 to 330, increased number of pellets from 12 to 16 per shot, decreased magazine size from to 32 to 26

Energy Shield Backpack: Increased delay before recharging
380mm and 120mm Orbital Barrages: Increased duration of the bombardment, decreased spread

Fixed armor rating values not reducing damage as intended.

Say what you want but this player consistently clears the hardest level of this game. Yes if you have all day to line up and charge yourcrailgun maybe that is the best way to take out titans. But I can say on suicide mode with 4 people we get overwhelmed with 6 biles ata time and trying to change railgun is not feasible. Can't imagine helldive difficulty.

[holou]

I prefer using Eagle Cluster Bomb instead of the airstrike for bugs because of it has 5 uses and can very easily take out swarms with a wide spread

[Randaddy]

When kiting enemies around, if I know I'm gonna get over run, I swap to the impact grenade. Throw it right at my feet and get as many kills as I can before reinforcing. There's something for everybody in this game. So enjoyable!

[kayakp]

I use ur loadout and its fantastic only difference is the armour i still use light armour but use the chance not to die trait. Makes me feel nearly invincible lol

[iwantagoodnameplease]

I can't believe you'd show us that footage of you wasting half of your rail gun ammo on a bile titan! :D

Next time charge up the shots more on unsafe more, or try and aim for the weak spots on the head and body.

[ComdrStew]

Railgun can kill Titans in one shot. Aim for the side of it's jaw, not in the middle of the mouth. Right where the jaw hinge is.

[JJokerMoreau]

Rover was competitive, I think, with Shield for solo players on bugs. Now I think it's just the better option.

[WuuZi.]

is this the first video with commentary? or have i just missed a few videos? keep it up anyways man!

[Karantonio]

In my opinion, bots are harder on lower difficulties and bugs are harder on higher difficulties. When you have 6 Titans chasing you and multiple chargers and hundreds of smaller bugs, it can be extremely intense. Bots are also extremely difficult, but I personally find that after almost 90 hours of active service, in which I fought both enemies, the bugs challenged me the most. Change my mind

[Eduard]

hey, I like your build, there is only one problem, the recent patch heavily nerfed the Railgun, can you make a follow up video for replacement options? thanks

[lukesmith]

Don't forget the trick to carry an extra grenade! Having 7 on hand makes clearing nests much easier!

[handohansolo]

You also didn’t mention the weird glitch (still ongoing as of me writing this) where that particular helmet armor you’re wearing gives extra speed at the cost of armor. Its the only helmet that affects ratings for some reason if you switch to any other helmet you’ll see any of your chest armor ratings change

[JunkyardGod]

Had a bug where I couldn't use my weapons, stratagems, etc. Died and came back a-ok.

[HamkkeTogether]

Isn't kinda meh going with 2 eagles? shouldn't be better for 1 eagle + 1 orbital?
