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.

Yep out-ranging seems to be the way, it is tough to do if you join in progress and they’re in the middle of a fight already. I had a Helldive mission last night where I JIP’d, tried to get some distance, and no matter which direction I went I either ran into a patrol or fully defended POI, felt like I spent half of the entire mission just sprinting and stimming lol

Strong agree! 99% of the time I take my high level and SOS drop so all of my games are inprogress. Had some nasty drops this weekend just trying to keep the guys on the ground from entering the meat grinder. No one at lower levels knows how to disengage and/or run and shoot the constant patrols were super deadly. Plenty of drops where I came I saw and got melted.
