I've switched to bugs this week so I've had to switch loadouts.

Currently running:

Erupter
Redeemer
Fire grenades

Strategems:

Commando
Airburst
Gas robot backpack
Orbital rail cannon

It's built as a mid to long range sniper with team support.

I can take out bug holes from long range and stunt waves with the erupter and airburst while supporting team mates that get stuck with chargers.

The robot and redeemer are there for close in support when something sneaks up on me. Rail cannon is there for the big bugs.

Lately I have been running this loadout with great success. It packs a lot of heat to deal with heavies, and relies on the cookout/light armor combo to kill chaff and kite mediums-sized bugs.

Equipment:
- Primary: Cookout shotgun
- Secondary: Grenade pistol
- Utility: Thermite grenade
- Armor: Light with padding
Stratagems:
- Recoilless rifle
- Napalm Barrage
- 500Kg Bomb
- Autocannon turret

I wish I was able to make my old favorite Eruptor/Flamethrower combo work, but I do not find it excels at anything anymore, even after the buff-everything update.
