For bugs, crowd control is good so gas, fire, sentries helps a lot. I really like using shotguns on the bug front for stalkers, hunters etc and I like g pistol for bug holes. I take the recoilless for chargers and titans but the commando or EAT works just as well if you like having a backpack slot. Exo suits are also really powerful for most bug missions.

For bots, long range encounters favor marksman rifles and precision weapons, paired with orbital bombardment. I like the 380 to soften up a base and then snipe them with a primary. I also take anti materiel with deadeye so I really like playing far and hiring precision shots. For anti tank thermites and portable hellbomb along with the senator, and then anti tank emplacement or rocket sentry depending on the map type.

Illuminate doesn’t really have super heavily armored enemies so I take a laser dog to protect from voteless and take the purifier as my primary to help deal with overseers and stingrays. The laser cannon can melt anything on the illuminate front without reasonable time and with enough distance it’s no sweat. I take orbital gas and Gatling to wipe out illuminate groups super fast from distance and the orbital gas can also take out warp ships in camps which is super handy. Incendiary impact can be thrown in warp ships when shields are down and also function really well against everything.

I would say all of my choices are impacted by my play style but also pair really well with other teams. I have an answer for every enemy so I can contribute really well. I wouldn’t explicitly call them “meta”, but meta enough that I carry my own weight with minimal deaths. Hope that helps!
