Coop Helldive, Max Difficulty Lvl 9, all objectives (Main + Optional) completed, all outposts cleared, no personal deaths
Modifiers: Thick Fog
Planet: Aesir Pass
Patch version: 1.000.305
Nothing too new build-wise with this one - rocking the HMG + Ballistic Shield combo again, this time in coop, and I meant to try out Pummeler but brought the Defender instead - both operate pretty similarly though, the shield meaning you don't really need the stun of the Pummeler to score those Devastator headshots.
The main reason I liked this run was some nice duo teamwork with ‪@originalSPECTER‬, as well as the late cameo from Tiberius to cover our extract - so kudos! If you're looking to join us for some coop games, or do runs with other like-minded players, check us out on Warrior's discord: / discord

Build:
While the Ballistic Shield is a great choice for bots on any backpack-less support weapon, I find it really unlocks the HMG's potential up close, the Shield + Defender combo really letting you push aggressively into enemy positions for you to unload with the HMG. Stun nades make Hulk kills a little easier, while the Grenade Pistol means you still have an option for Fabricators as well as shielded enemies.
Orbital Precision and 500kg don't have the largest AOEs, but do ensure you always have an anti-tank option available that can also take out the hardest structures like Detector Towers and Research Stations.
Heavy Armour lets you stay tanky, with the explosive resistance and recoil control bonuses coming in especially handy for this build.
