Another version of Juggernaut loadout against the squids, a almost immortal one: Heavy armor with explosive resist Pummeler Senator Frags BallShield The support weapon should be something not needing a lot of time to be used like Quasar, AMR or Railgun to let you use the Ballistic Shield more but MG is not bad either, turn your back to the enemies when reloading and it will protect against most shots. Pummeler is nice because it has enough damage to only need 1 bullet to pop heads on the voteless and a "low" RoF that makes it easy to avoid wasting bullets, you can easily clear a hoard with a single mag as long as you keep aiming high and dont just hold down the trigger. It will also stun Overseers with around 4-5 hits making them easy targets, either keep shooting with the Pummeler or draw the Senator and tap them in the head for a instant kill. Pummeler can also break the shield on ships and Harvesters though it uses almost the entire mag. The Frags are great because you get more of them than any other grenade, they take out large chunks of voteless hoards and works well against Overseers too but the main use is against their base ships, if you need to get rid of them quickly you can toss one grenade under/on top of them and 9/10 it will break the shield(shrapnel!) then toss another into the door. Ballistic Shield is horribly underrated against the squids, flying Overseers can only bounce their shots on it and the combo of explosive resist armor and the shield means direct hits from the Overseers with staffs tickle you. You will literally struggle to see the damage they do, tiny slivers of health. Its a fun change of pace to simply walk forward into a bunch of Overseers and not really care, ironically the voteless are a higher threat with their melee.
My favorite Juggernaut build is any heavy armor with explosive resist, an orbital barrage, an MG sentry, a gatling sentry, and a supply pack. On most Illuminate maps you’ll find some kind of LMG anyways like a Stalwart or MG43, so I usually don’t think it’s worth wasting a stratagem slot for it.
i run this same line up except strafing run instead of airstrike and scorcher instead of spray n pray. personally, i like how much quicker the strafing run is and can still take out a lot of the illuminates (maybe harvesters w/o their shield). usually don’t run into ammo problems with the scorcher either with ammo boxes all across the map but can occasionally run into the problem
Haha hell yeah! I came up with the same thing later in the first week they were out. Bringing 3 sources of automatic fire per helldiver and then an eagle is so good for chaffe clear. Was using eagle cluster with to the other 3 before I decided to chill
Love it. The only thing I do differently is the primary weapon. When I'm running LMG I usually will choose shotgun or Flamethrower as the primary. Especially with a heavy armor.
Yes dude this is literally one my FAVORITE loadouts to run. Personally I run heavy Siege armor for the reload and extra mags for my Adjudicator.

Extra padding should also get the flinch passive.

I REAAALLLY recommend the heavy medic armor too. Extra stims and extra effect time plus more stims. You play right you are effectively immortal

You know what we need? Tesla grenades. Those would be great.
Hey, you did the max bullets build haha nice
There are so many things about this load out that I like guns guns and more guns
the enemy of samples
I like to call this the war machine load out because it reminds me of the marvel character
U know it’s a good day if extraction is clear
I wish i could have such teammate all the time
Dude couldn't afford the helmet 😢
Stalwart not better than machine gun?
machine gun armor pen makes it usable for every illuminate enemy type without overdoing armor pen for ammo/rpm like the heavy
