Specialized Loadouts...

Do you have yours?
Do you consider them "cert worthy" even if they are strictly situational?


I wait too much to try them, but yesterday i got a HA with AV grenades/grenade bandolier maxed out and it was fun (and effective) as hell, expecially in some situations with a key building/room heavily guarded by enemy maxes.

Which one are your preferred ones?
Do you have some extra loadout that proves to be highly effective in some case?

Trac 5 burst with silencer and foregrip (because i am an idiot lol. Laser or even flashlight is better)
TX-2 with a silencer and laser for when I run out of ammo
C4 because I can and it is really nice to have.
Grenade bandolier or ammo pouch
Frags for bouncing lols.

Farm your way to an auraxium with one of the worst weapons IN THE GAME! Only advantage is it can to 2 burst kill within 30m, if all the bullets actually manage to hit the head hitbox. But it conserves ammo nicely and the Tx-2 is great for when you inevitably run out of ammo.

EDIT: Also great for when people question how good you are with the game. Saying "I aruaxed [insert burst variant here]" is synonymous with "I am a psychopathic murder with the ability to use even the cruddiest weapons effectively." Trust me, I totally know this from experience... totes...

hm, lets see
Light Assault: Pulsar C, JJ, Ammobelt: for biolabs, sitting on very top of the SCU: not worth it
Light Assault: Pandora w/ flashlight, Underboss w/ flashlight, AP: Infil hunting the easy way: not worth it
Heavy Assault: Flare w/ ext mags, deci, Nade bandolier, AV nades: Demoman, explosives every where and no need to ever bother with reloading the primary: Yes so much worth it
Engineer: Solstice SF w/UBGL, stickies, C4, AI Turret: not so much situational, but a loadout with stuff that i hate like the plaque but is my designated setup for serious squadplay: kinda worth it

Do vehics also count?
Scythe w/ PPA and Rocketpods. for Lib/Galaxy combat: maybe
Galaxy w/ Stealth. for sneaky drops during serious squadplay: yes

Edit: forgot if they are worth it

Lasher for every zerg fight to turn them into a slaughter

My only really specialized loadout is HA with grenade bandolier and AV grenades. Because **** MAXes, I'll peg 'em around a corner.

Emm. My heavy is specialized and Engie that meant to kill sundies. That's all.

These days I roll with only 2 kits

HA
TMG-50 -> 3x Red dot -> Foregrip -> Comp
Grounder
Resist Shield
Extra Missiles
2xResto Packs

LA
Jag -> 3x Red Dot -> Adv Laser -> Silencer
Jump Jets
C4
Extra Ammo

I think you need to specialize to excel at any encounter:

HA
Long Range Engagement - Ursa 4x scope, Annihilator, Rocket Belt, Regen Kit
Base Entry - NS-15M NV scope, Deci, Nanoweave, Med Kit
Ant-Max Crash - Lasher, AV Grenade Belt, Decimator, Flak, C4

LA
Towers - Jump Jets, Nova NV scope, Smoke Grenade, Adrenline Pump, C4
Pilot - Drifters, C4, Serpent, X-Bow
Base Assault - Serpent, Jump Jets, Frag, Adrenline Pump

Eng
Sundy Killer! - Scythe with Ejection Seat, Maxed Out utility pouch(5 mines or 4 C4), Solstice-SF with Smoke Launcher, Sticky Grenades
Base Defense - VX67, Flak, Sticky Grenade, AI Turret

You get the idea.

My heavy has a load out revolving around taking down vehicles almost exclusively. It's usually either a long range LMG/Battle Rifle, crossbow with explosive bolts, Annihilator/Striker, C4, and AV grenade with NMG and Munitions Pouch.

Specialized loadouts are my specialty. Got too many to list, but some of my favs are

Engineer - "Saboteur": munitions belt (5 tank mines, 4 c4 or 3 proxy mines), suppressed NS-11c, crossbow w/ sensor darts
Infiltrator - "Long Ranger": adren pump, hunter cloak, basr, suppressed Rebel, darts, medical syringes x4
Infiltrator - "Sentinel": stalker cloak, nano armor, Cyclone, Underboss, motion spotter, betties x2
CM - "Grenadier": grenade bandolier, res/heal grenades x4, Sweeper w/ slugs
HA - "Rocketeer": munitions belt, any rocket launcher, GD-22s
Vanguard - "Mauler" (infantry killer): HE cannon w/ thermal, Canister w/ thermal, proxy radar, rival chassis, shield.
Harasser - "Hillbilly": Canister w/ thermal, surger chassis, auto-repair, fire suppression
Liberator - "Spam and Scram": Duster w/ thermal, comp armor, afterburner, racer chassis, hyena tailgun
Reaver - "Creeper": Airhammer w/ thermal, stealth, scout radar, dog fighting chassis, ext afterburner tanks
Flash - "Scout": Scout radar, stealth, racer chassis, kobalt w/ thermal

Engineer "MAX Killer": AT Mines, Munitions pouch, sticky grenades. Plant mines in doorway, spam rounds and call-outs, huck sticky at mines when MAX comes in.

Harasser "AA": FS/NAR or Stealth/Ranger

Harasser "Pizzaboy": Smoke/Prox Radar/Bulldog

None of these are generally effective, but they each excel at their intended role.

PPA + Rockets for gal/lib hunting????

Wat??

Try Hailstorm or Saron w/ A2Am.

Far better.

Also, I just can't see using PPA with anything but maxed out Fuel....

I call my MCG loadout for my HA "Rip and Tear". That's as far as I got to personalising

The most specialized I've ever gotten is my Biolab HA loadout: Jackhammer w/ extended mags, default rocket launcher, ACS, stun grenades, nanite mesh shield. It's basically just a CQB HA loadout, except Biolabs are the only place a Jackhammer ever feels appropriate to carry around everywhere.

Drifter jets, C-4, shotgun of choice, but primary-ing with a crossbow for the range.

PPA+Rocketpods vs Saron+A2AM
Fun CQC vs boring long range plinking
One clip kills on libs vs a long time annoying someone
Challenge vs easymode

where is the reason to use saron+A2AM?????


PPA w/ Fuel, Radar, Stealth is my A2G loadout, but you can't pull that if there are libs flying overhead (flying below a dalton lib is never a good idea) so i either pull my Sologalaxy, my Solo lib or my "Heavy Anti Air" Scythe.

well I'll try it I guess... I don't even have A2Am on my Scythe (Moss only) but I was thinking of picking it up... if this actually works well enough I may have 900 certs to spend on something else instead

And yeah, that PPA G2A build is hella fun... not worth engaging armor really but I do harass them a bit if they're taking fire from other friendlies as it adds to their confusion and the small amount of damage the PPA does to them may swing the fight in favor of my ally. Mostly I just hunt infantry with it.

Solo Gal? You mean the RamWhale? Can't imagine using any weapons on it effectively solo... so you must use it to just ram right?

I'm just gonna take this vid from my friend Shintyx, cause i learned from him most of the thinks i can do. The usual attempt is to level out the Gal with a nice flight route that leads next to an enemy ESF and than kill it with 2 shots from the bulldog. (i recommend always aligning guns 2/4/5 to the front, so whenever you switch to the gun you look in the same direction you were in the cockpit and have an easier time finding the enemy)
