What do you run for Incineration Corps? Has it changed your usual bot loadout? (lemmy.world)

My typical bot loadout has been:

Medic perk armor
Diligence Counter Sniper
Stim Pistol
Thermite
Stratagems:
- 500kg
- Orbital Walking Barrage
- Quasar
- AT Emplacement

But, with the IC, I’ve been running and avoiding catching on fire too much to get the emplacement down until extraction, so I have replaced it with the shield generator backpack. If the planet has the DSS barrage perk, I’ll swap the orbital walking with an auto cannon sentry, but I might do that swap always because it distracts the devastators.

I don’t have the fire resistance armors, otherwise I’d consider those, but having the medic perk with the stim pistol has been really useful to help fellow divers save stims.

Fire resist armor; yes, it's on the nose, but shrugging off 75% of enemy damage is huge, plus this goes well with... Double Edged Sickle Grenade pistol or the new laser pistol WASP / SPEAR / Recoilless Rifle Rocket Turret EAT-17 Rocket pods / 500kg / orbital precision

More and more I'm liking WASP for taking down anything below a brute or tank; even taking those out when weakspots can be locked on and hit. EAT-17 for taking out the heavies. Rocket turret for when things go to crap; they can take out dropships along with heavies and tanks. Last slot is situational and personal preference. I try to stick with shorter cooldown, unlimited orbital strats but sometimes you want to bring a rail or laser.

I’ll have to try the WASP out, I used it to liberate the Voteless when it was available to all, but haven’t brought it into a bug or bot mission.

It's great from a distance. I would recommend recoil or spear on the swamp and heavily forested maps due to tree interference.
