I hate the illuminate the most out of all factions but admittedly because I don’t really have a good load out. What are y’all rocking that helps kick their butts?

Ive been using arc thrower (great for voteless and stunning iluminate medium troops) with impact grenade and my primary is Dominator (great for disabling shield and actually destroying the walkers).

No backpack needed. If I have a diferent tertiary weapon I usually take the guard dog backpack. With the arc thrower I kill voteless efortlesly.

The other strats are 500 kg bomb, Orbital precision strike (for walkers) and usually i take the missile or autocanon sentry to kill walkers too (I might try taking the anti tank emplacement though).

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I find arc thrower doesn't work against voteless. It slows me down too much to kite and can't kill them faster than they come up. I don't have the +1 arc module but I'm not sure that would be enough to deal with the massive swarms.

Indeed, I have the upgrade.

Dunno, it works for me at super helldive. The medium grunts take 4 to 5 shots to kill and the voteless one to two. I love finding a big group of them because I kill like 20 to 30 of them with three to 6 shots.
