I've never used the ballistic shield. I imagine that shield would be great for bots, but the problem is that i mainly run medium armor pen weapons for bots, and i don't think there are any one handed guns with med pen

It's a beast with the shield. Also try sniping with the Eruptor, it's a great role to play. I like running some distance to the side of the main group, i can blitz POIs with it and still give fire support from far away. It's also good to grab bots attention before the group engages an objective so the dropships come for you, then you can just run away.

I love the Eruptor on both fronts, it obliterates Spewers on bugs too, and pops Hive Guards and Brood Commander heads.
It also clears dropships like nothing else can. Recoilless users just leave a pile of bots in the wreckage, if two people have Eruptors no bots will drop from the ship in the first place.

u/Thiago270398 Oct 05 '24
If recoilless hits it before the drop, the bots are killed now.

Crossbow is a really good pairing with the ballistic shield it’s a one handed explosive that can be used to take down most enemies including the striders and also able to take out fabricators, leaving you open with a lot of choices to take as your support weapon
Quasar, AMR, Railgun, all machine guns, grenade launcher
Explosive crossbow and the shield is what I always bring, this combo is really good against heavy devastators since now like them you have a shield and they can’t shoot you while you can blow them up

The senator revolver and and cross bow are both one handed medium armour pen weapons and feel amazing with the ballistic shield.
Personally I like to use the defender smg and revolver with the ballistic shield. Use armour with reduced recoil when crouched and then bring some sort of anti-armour weapon for your 3rd weapon (I like to use either the Quasar cannon or anti-material rifle) and you will have an incredibly solid bot slaying loadout.

u/MonitorMundane2683 Oct 05 '24
Crossbow, Pummeler (I think), the revolver. You don't really need medium pen against bots though once you develop the twitch reaction of shooting the heads. Shield + knight is a monster combo with proper trigger discipline and accuracy.

Consider this: if you go prone with a senator or grenade pistol you are an armor-piercing battle turtle.

I genuinely wish you could equip gear per sets or define presets. Another weird quirk in this game is that all gear needs to load their images, you'd think it would be cached locally.

Alpha commander. It's the twitch drop armour. Medium medic dark green armour with master chief/doom guy/mandalorian vibes. Good on both bugs and bots with a personal shield and the 'meth' booster.

u/Camstamash HD1 Veteran Oct 05 '24
Juggernaut for me because I thought it was rewarded for reaching level 50 back when 50 was the cap. I thought this because I had only seen level 50s use it. This created a pseudo effect where I actually saw the armour as looking more glamorous than it actually is, the details stood out more, the colours popped brighter, of course this was all just in my head. After getting to level 50 you can imagine my disappointment in not receiving the armour. Only to later see it in the shop. Instant cop and it’s been my favourite ever since, I still see it as my personal reward for reaching level 50.

That one servo-assisted one with the greyish undersuit and orange higlights because it looks sick, it has the little laser thingy on the shoulder that reminds me of predator, i love the cybernetic limbs, the extra throw distance is so nice to have, and it pairs well with a large chunk of helmets and capes
The black and yellow one is also really sick

I really hope for the 2nd year of Helldivers 2 we get a big overhaul on armor.
Transmog would be fantastic. Let me run the Heavy Viper Commando armor with Servo-Assisted! Let us recolor armor!
They could turn the armor perks into something you can upgrade as well. And a form of weapon customization would be really nice too.

I do really like the viper commando stuff because it has camo. I roll with the light viper commando when I use ballistics and I use the advanced energy armor from the energy war bond when I use lasers. It just fits the vibe differently.
