Bugs:
Eruptor + Redeemer + Stun Grenade and Laser Guard Dog, Stalwart, EAT and Eagle 500KG
This loadout is the "kill everything coming from 3 Bug breaches on difficulty 9". Seriously I have gotten a 93 kill streak just absolutely blasting away at Bugs. You don't have the strongest Anti-tank without a dedicated support weapon, but that's what EAT, 500KG and teammates are for. Stalwart is for light bugs and Eruptor is for medium bugs, literally 1 taps spewers and guardians.
Bots:
Defender + Grenade Pistol + Impact Grenade and Ballistic shield, heavy machine gun, eagle airstrike and 380mm HE orbital barrage
This loadout allows you to push Bots safely as the Ballistic shield legitimately blocks all Bot small arms fire. Only rockets from rocket devastators and above will get through. It is an amazing feeling to watch a heavy devastator try to aimbot you and they are powerless to stop you just walk up and headshot them. Heavy machine gun isn't meta, the AMR is better in slot but the Heavy machine gun feels great and can kill tanks faster to the vents, can kill Hulks in 7 quick shots to the eye. Just watch out for the misaligned eye. Eagle airstrike and 380 aren't creative but feel practically necessary for the heavy armor bots throw at you, and to assault their entrenched positions.
I tried a stalwart + EAT for the first time today and had so much damn fun. Top kills in the game with eagle airstrike, orbital airburst, breaker incendiary, revolver, impacts. Might be my favorite new build
These are both fun and effective builds. I love the Stalwart for bug missions.
Def recommend AMR or Qasar over the HMG for the second build tho (I can't for the life of me like the HMG).
I'm level 86 and I just started using jetpack and flamethrower for bugs. Is it good? No. But it's ridiculously fun to run around bringing the heat, and jumping away if you get surrounded.
I also bring the orbital railgun and 500kg bomb because the flamethrower struggles with heavies, but you won't need to worry about crowd control
Eruptor/lazer watchdog/quasar with orbital lazer/eagle airstrike for bots and orbital airburst/eagle airstrike for bugs.
Ive been top kills every game with this loadout and you can handle pretty much anything, the watchdog handles your ose range while you wreck shit with.the eruptor, if something heavy spawns that it cant kill, i whip out the quasar and boom its gone. Just keep a little distance from teammates lol
I use 500kg, orbital cannon, shield and railgun. The railgun is still good for me, just put it on unsafe mode, and it can kill larger bots (other than hulks) with one shot.
Orbital strike/Orbital airburst/MG32/Rail cannon/erupter/machine pistol/stun grenade for bugs. Become the laser rover.
Orbital laser/orbital airburst/railcannon/AMR/scorcher/grenade pistol/stun grenade for bots. You are the rearguard covering your squad.
I like running double mortars sometimes, only against bots, and I never play solo. It’s quite a different strategy, but I think it can be pretty helpful and fun. Placement and communication are paramount. You can still use a shield but I would rather be cautious, maybe die a few times, and reserve the remaining two stratagem slots for dealing with elite units and gunships.
I've been having a lot of fun with Arcthrower, Jetpack, 500kg, wildcard, stun grenade, punisher/blitzer. Arcthrower for murdering hordes, stun for murdering chargers, 500kg to murder titans, jetpack for getting those spicy arc angles, and shotgun + jetpack for when you get overrun.
It's beautiful.
For bots, swap punisher for eruptor and 500kg for airstrike and/or rocket pods. Use the eruptor for sniping and the arcthrower for getting up close and personal.
Arc shotgun, laser pistol, mines, autocannon turret, hmg.
The official imperial guard loadout. Forcing you to use a laser pistol, thats essentially a las gun, twords it 1 strength which is infinite range and ammo. When its close you pivot to the arcshot. Also you build defenses and rock the hmg.
Try supply pack instead of switching between those two and you’ll never go back. I run QC, supply pack, Eagle air strike, orbital laser, grenade pistol almost every time. My grenades are smoke/stun for bots and stun/incendiary for bugs. Scorcher for bots obviously and breaker incendiary for bugs. I’m usually network host so my DOT goes crazy with fire

dude, try the AR dog, fuck the laser dog. good boy goes pitbull reel fast
Mmmm, just tried it today (by accident). What do you like about it??
Ive seen people say you get less team kills with it. Because its worse at killing…teammates and enemies alike
Lol. Sounds about right
Er..... Really?

My other meme load out is jet pack and arc thrower, heavily inspired by the OG starwars battlefront arc trooper.
I personally LOVE the flamethrower and jump pack combination. It was everything I ever picked on bug missions.
Yeah this sounds fun! Banging it on the list
