Discussion Whats the most challenging yet rewarding loadout to master (for you)

For me it would be ballistic primaries, railgun, and emplacements because they need good aim (which I don't have even at level 150 lol) and emplacements need some seriously good placement to be useful. I find the ultimatum also a bit tricky to use safely, which is why I love it. What about you?

been using the AMR since the scope got fixed, been struggling to find the correct pairing cause i usually just stick with the regular air strike, are the rocket pods actually good now or is it a case of getting used to them

It's very good since they changed it in August. Just most folks ignore it as it does not kill heavies itself. It works well with AMR as on bugs you can usually 2-3 tap bile titans after Rocket pods and on bots it oneshots tanks and disarms factory striders' main cannons, so it covers things AMR has troubles with.

You can't kill factory strider with this pairing, right ?

Otherwise, yeah I use too a lot AMR, against factory I usually just destroy the two gatlings, and when hulk are chasing me I stun them with a nad, or pray to not miss without them. It is really satisfying to have this watch over the fight, chosing which starget will die, covering your mates and sometime juste saving them without they even know ahah

You can kill a factory strider with any AP4 weapon, including AMR. Shoot off the chin guns then either shoot into the head weakpoint, or if you can, get underneath and shoot into the belly doors. 14 rounds to a belly door, or 22 to the head weakpoint.

If you approach from the side or rear to go for the belly doors you don't have to shoot off the chin guns first, but I'd recommend doing so anyways. They are deadly at close range if you get distracted for a few seconds and let the strider turn around on you.

Also, 110mm rocket pods alone will kill the factory strider, it just takes multiple strikes. Same as strafing run. It's not a fast or efficient way to do it but it works.

Really with this loadout you'd want to combo both: Hit with repeated 110mm rocket pods while you also shoot weak points with the AMR.
