This has been my main loadout for a long time now, only I take the sickle as my primary. It's great at dealing with a lot of chaff enemies, really quickly. Everything else gets the auto cannon.
This. Treating the sickle as your secondary and letting the AC do the work is incredible. Every time you pull out the sickle, it’s ready to shoot. It’s dreamy.
I experimented with that but found it less efficient than the Plasma Punisher. The Plasma Punisher and excels most when things go wrong. Very rarely you may encounter a situation that is tough to fix and having the Plasma Punisher which is universally good at dealing with everything (paired with the Senator), allows you to recover and restabilize from a bad situation. The sickle is decent, but when looking at the top level of efficiency, you can't beat the PP or the Breaker incendiary. Both are much more efficient and feature faster TTKs for their ideal targets. (Plus AoE). All that being said however, if you find yourself able to match the clear times shown on stream with the Sickle, or if the PP negatively affects your clear time for missions, then absolutely stick with the Sickle or your preferred weapon of choice 👍😁
It stays good...the problem is that there aren't any others that compare right now, so game becomes repetitive and boring. Hopefully tomorrow's patch fixes this!
I love the Punisher Plasma! I've been using it since it got buffed after the Erupter nerf. Edit: after watching the whole video I realized I've already stumbled my way into this build, lol.

You know when I see loads out like these I tend to bring a defensive load out like shield relay, smoke air strike, spear, stun grenade, due to the vast amount of enemies at the automatons side I use these to help get out of tough situations like being swarm and there a escape route that being close off throw a smoke and shield relay so they can’t see us leaving and only hear the noise and impact of the shield relay so they be baited to attack it and I can do this a lot due to short cooldown of shield. But when I want to get offensive I have a spear to take down tanks, shredder tanks, or tank turrets mainly, I don’t do hulk since I need to be accurate and far enough to hit it dead in the eye with spear. If my teammate want full offensive attack I throw them a shield where they are intending to lay heavy fire power and a smoke to the side or somewhere when shield goes down so we can retreat back and reload onto them The reason why I bring such a weak and defensive load out is because there too many time where I see my helldiver died due to stray shots and the constant need to run away from target cause they call in another dropship. I want to keep them alive to finish the objective or be more safe pushing objectives than having hulks and tanks brutally kill them or even devaster
Watch the streams, we barely die and clear the missions very quickly. There is no need for a "team" based loadout. It's why I highly encourage everyone to study the streams to see how we handle the game. This isn't to say other loadouts aren't valid, but we always present only the most efficient ones.
Bro sounds a little defensive. You dont have to get all anxious about people saying your loadput is bad. You know its a good loadout. Who cares what everyone in the comments says. Your content quality goes down when you sound all defensive and irritated.
If that's how it sounds to you, oh well 🤷♂️. I'm simply calling out bullshit and showing proof. I believe that anyone would be entitled to feel annoyed at people blabbing shit when evidence is presented in their face. So if that makes me "defensive", then by all means, don't watch me.

I run the AMR and DCS lately with stun grenades eagle airstrike and 500k and orbital Lazer. It feels really good, pistol slot is usually grenade pistol, I find having to stop to reload autocannon gets me killed often but with amr I can reload on the move
AMR is fine, I just hate not being able to shoot out the fabs so overall, it gets slightly less efficient when aiming for a sub 10 clear on some missions
Very close to my play style. I’m usually take an autocannon turret instead of the orb rail. It’s great for watching our flanks. And great for extraction. But I’ve been on team autocannon forever.
i love how you do all the hard thinking for me and i can just come here for the best builds, can you make updated best builds for bots and bugs if this one gets outdated?
@11--------- Game of the century if you like Looter Shooters. Everyone is playing it. Give it a try for 3 days, if you don't have fun/get addicted, just uninstall it. But if you do decide to play (and/or spend). I'm one of their official content creators so add me as your content creator ;) it helps to keep the channel running. But yeah, try it out first. That's the best way to see for yourself. Game is free and fully cross play. Just make sure your account is linked to your Nexon ID when you start.
I used the punisher plasma quite a bit recently until I got fed up with my projectiles seemingly hitting invisible walls or invulnerable enemies. Don't know what was going on. Sometimes a shot that should clear a fallen enemy in front of you just splashes on it's body right in your face when it should have cleared and went down range. I can deal with that, but when the shots starting hitting my targets (basic foot bots) with no effect, I switched to the Dominator.
Use the dominator if you like, it's a fantastic weapon. PP is best in slot (imo) but other weapons can be viable as well. If you feel you're getting similar clear times to what we showcase, then by all means, rock whatever you feel is best for you 😁👍
I love that Senator pistol. It’s a monster in a clutch. Stun grenade head shot take to the sky. That stun grenade is absolutely a necessity against automatons.. this is a great video , I like the breakdown. Armor against automatons I go for speed with explosive resistance. I even run the light armor medic I forget the name off hand. I always run light against Automotons.
I like the Auto cannon but I don’t run anything with a backpack . I want to have mobility . Oh yeah man that orbital laser is a set and forget weapon . Just amazing for the percentage mission.
@@nevasoba5953 It does not affect your mobility, just an FYI :). You'd move the same with or without it. Want to move faster? Just pull out the pistol.
Not really lol. We've tested other loadout ideas and none are as fast. This is why ideal loadouts are never subjective. The evidence is on the streams and thus far, these are the most efficient after multiple iterations
Of course it is. Nobody ever uses the Quasar lol. Unfortunately most content creators just straight up lie to their audience when something new drops, but we actually test it and then publish only the most efficient loadouts. If we can't use something to clear a diff 7 on bots in 10 minutes or so, it's probably not meta 😏

As shown on stream, dive backwards and shoot or pull put your senator. This is where it is important to watch the streams closely and really see the gameplay. Pay attention especially to whenever we have jump pack enemies. We usually dive backward and shoot them.
It's a good choice! Servo assisted is a great perk. Plus, side benefit. It doesn't stack with the vitality booster so if you're running a full team of servo assisted. You can free up a booster slot for something else
Use the Scorcher. For secondary you can use the P-19 redeemer. Grenade you can use impact (I believe that is in the free warbond). However everyone should have every premium warbond. You can farm super credits easily. Tune in to tomorrow's stream where we determine the best way to do so
@@RealAsianRobot Well, it’s not that I don’t have SC, but it seems that to get the ability to buy anything from the Premium WB, you HAVE to make at least one purchase. At least, that’s what the game tells me
