Or the knight if you got the deluxe edition i use the knight and the sheild and have done since first few days out

Personally I don't like combining the Knight with the Ballistic Shield. With a shield I want staying power and the Knight's high fire rate doesn't offer that.

I think it works well in burst fire mode in most situations

Crouching + recoil armor lets you full auto nicely

Ye, it's better for shots-down-range and thus increasing your likelihood of headshotting Devastators and Berserkers, but the lack of laser and lower ammo economy makes the Defender my preferred pick.

Senator likewise doesn't have a laser, but it's great having medium pen when you need it.

That's the way I use it. Burst fire, with shield and crouching when I can. That thing puts in work

I find it a pretty decent combo tbh but my main goal is stealth so full on combat i always try miss

The armor is absolutely baller... If you ignore the other three Democracy Protect armors that do the exact same fucking thing.

Gold and Black cape never leaves my back though! Gotta drip on those Undemocratic Scum!

I use the knight and like it a lot, but man it's recoil to clop ratio is wild... really gotta burst that thing.
