Highlights

• The Ballistic Shield Backpack provides increased survivability, especially when combined with the Devastator heavy armor or Bone Snapper medium armor.
• The GP-31 Grenade Pistol adds versatility to the loadout, allowing the player to deal with different types of enemies effectively while wielding the ballistic shield.
• Stun Grenades are included to temporarily disable enemies, particularly Hulks, making them easier to take out with the Quasar cannon or air strike.

Loadout Overview

Begin by equipping the Orbital Laser Stratagem for its broad-area damage, ideal for softening enemy fronts or clearing large groups. Depending on the mission's demands, choose between the Eagle Air Strike for general enemy clearance or the Eagle 500 kg Bomb for enhanced anti-tank capability.

Pairing the Ballistic Shield with either the Devastator armor for explosive damage resistance and increased tankiness or the Bone Snapper for more stim packs and increased stamina provides tailored defense to suit varying play styles. Offensively, the combination of the primary weapon SMG-37  Defender and the newly introduced secondary weapon GP-31 Grenade Pistol allows for effective engagement of both light and heavy enemies while maintaining shield protection at all times.

Remember to use stun grenades for disorienting tougher automatons like Hulks, setting them up for quick eliminations with your heavy hitting stratagems like the Quasar cannon. Finally, the stamina booster is crucial for maintaining mobility and engagement longevity across mission terrains.

This loadout not only covers all bases in terms of offensive and defensive capabilities but also provides a dynamic and fun gameplay experience capable of even Helldive difficulty.
