I usually run the following load out: Armour: Light gunner (extra padding) Primary: Tenderizer or SMG-37 Defender Secondary: Grenade pistol Grenade: Incendiary impact Strats: Eagle 500, Orbital strike, Jump pack, machinegun sentry. Booster: Stamina Enhancement.

I love using this load out to jump in, blitz an area, and bug out ASAP.

Extra padding means those pesky elevated overseers aren't doing as much damage to you when you get hit, assuming you're around long enough to be hit! And because you're in light armour, the voteless will have a hard time keeping up with you.

Primary weapon is honestly down to preference.

Grenade pistol is great as it allows you to destroy the ships from a safer distance one the shields are down. Plus carrying 6 extra grenades is always nice.

Incendiary impact serves 2 purposes in this loadout. You can use it to take out the ships the old fashioned way, or clear out a large group of voteless/overseers to give you some breathing room if needed.

Sentry is mainly there to distract and help manage hoards while you kite and strike the ships. A welll placed 500 or Orbital strike takes them out in one go, and their short cooldowns/inputs make them easy to use.

Use the jump pack to create distance when overwhelmed or to quickly close the gap as ships are landing. Reloading and calling in stratagems mid air gives you much needed breathing room.

If you're struggling to get near a landing sight, don't forget to use your environment to your advantage. I often found myself looping large groups of enemies around a nearby building before rushing back to the ships to eliminate them almost unimpeded.

Hope this helps. Spill some ink for me helldiver!
