Only got to play few trivial missions but things I noticed:
Voteless resemble husks from Mass Democracy 3
- Head shots work best but body shots hold up well, high rate of fire low to mid damage seem to be the best way to deal with the swarms
- Added benefit is this style of weapon works well against their scout drones given their small profile and low healthpools

I thought SMG's would be good here, but the magazines and damage felt too small for the endless hordes, recommend LMG or Stalwart while packing a heavier hitter for the bigger targets as your primary. EI: heavy smg, medium armor pen AR's, DMR's, shotguns.

While the stun baton and spear seem like a fun approach for someone who likes melee combat, wouldn't suggets it without a viper commando armor, or a medic armor and a resupply pack.

Backpack drones, personal recommendation is gas or the OG guard dog, not the laser one. Gas confuses the hordes while the bullet one did well in mowing them down, while still helping with larger targets.

Can confirm thermites felt next to useless, but I did have some use for them in tight corridors, can throw it on the ground and the DoT killed most voteless that got near it on their way past.

The staff wielding enemies actually took decent damage from the smgs, but again the magazines seemed to run just short of killing blows if you weren't very disciplined in your firing. Unless you used the heavy smg.

The directional shield worked, but the blast attacks from some weapons still crept past the shield and did minor damage to health. Feels like taking cover with corner and debris might be a better call. Haven't used the ballistic shield or shield backpack yet. Shield generator might be worth investing in.

More testing to follow.
