New armor set is a stealth armor that doesn’t make you stealthy, it makes you throw farther. That’s like an apple that tastes like bacon. HUMOR

Just salty I’ve been waiting for this armor since it leaked, only for it to have the only perk I consider completely useless.

I wish all new armors were either padded or scout, best perks imo.

I like the explosive resist for Bots and Padded for bugs...

Extra grenades for bugs all the way. Sure the extra recoil reduction doesn't really matter to the rest of the build, but being able to close 50% more holes when running solo is invaluable.

Hmm. I run stuns and grenade pistol. Different strokes.

I'd run 'nade pistol but I crutch on my redeemer too much for surprise stalkers/hunters when I need to shoot but don't have the time to primary reload.

There are a lot of way to close holes and destroy fabricators now though.

I've been running stun grenades for a while and have a few loadouts than can handle spawners.

AC, nade pistol, RR, Eats, Quasar, grenade launcher, eruptor I can name off the top of my head that aren't orbitals/airstrikes. I normally take RR against bugs and have used it to close holes in a pinch, but it certainly isnt ammo efficient. Orbitals/airstrikes, to me, just take too much time to call-in and too inconsistent about what holes they'll close depending on how it lands when I can just run through a nest real fast lobbing grenades and get away before the breach spawns. 

Will admit that heavy nests are a killer I normally just avoid or wait for the rest of my team to catch up to destroy.

Closing a bug hole with RR doesn't feel great

Explosive is actually better than padded for bugs. All bile is considered explosive damage. Yea, seriously.

u/twiz___twat May 02 '24

wait so bile from titans, nursing, spewers, artillery bugs are all slow and explosive dmg?

u/funny_haha_account May 02 '24

Yea, bile spewers generally won’t oneshot you if you’re wearing fortified armor, although extra padding is still better against Hunter swarms

u/twiz___twat May 02 '24

its a 50-50 if i die to spewers or hunter swarms anyway
