I’ve tried a few different setups, but here’s my go-to: Med kit armor, crossbow, Senator, impact nades, Stalwart, 500, and the orbital railcannon. If I’m feeling adventurous, I switch to flame-resistant armor, a double edge sickle, and a flamethrower, keeping the Senator and impact nades. It works wonders when tackling crowds of these bugs!

That sounds solid! I’ll have to give it a shot next run!

For crowd control, I’d recommend a solid setup with stagger options. Staggering flames work really well, and if you can, mix in some stagger lighting too for extra effect. That’s what I’ve found really helps!

I’ve heard that stagger lights can be a game changer! Sound like a good combo.

If you want to be meta against the new bugs, try this combo: a concussive or stun primary weapon, a grenade pistol, and either gas or stun nades. Don’t forget to bring at least two sentries—MG and Tesla work great for tougher missions. For armor, I’ve been using light servo-assisted armor, and it’s done me well. Just go with whatever passive suits your style!
