If you didn't get to try it you should when they come back, the Anti-Tank Emplacement is incredible for these defense missions, against the Illuminate it's 2 to 3 shots (out of the 30) to the landing beam hole to drop it out of the sky, it feels like team loading a recoiless rifle against bots, very fun
Ran a Defense mission last night and it was a complete slaughter. We had a couple of anti-tank emplacements, and rocket launchers and only 1 out of 3 or 4 ships even got their crew out. A gatling sentry outside the closed doors on the far left/right sides to mow down survivors, a regular + EMS mortar in the center lobbing over the walls. A few grenades dropped in the middle of a group teleporting in will wipe all the ground units. It wasn't even a fight, it was a slaughter.
The challenge gets really fun to defend at the high difficulty. When my team gets pushed to the last gate, I run solo to hit the bots/squids on the flank while they approach.
The voteless and the harvesters feel like bugs while the overseers feel like bots. I think when more units are released they are gonna be more of their own thing than just 3 unit tactics.

Hit the harvesters leg joint between the eye and the leg. Its a 1 recoiless hit kill or a few hmg bullets.
With the hmg emplacement or even the hmg, hit the section of the leg between the body and the first joint on the harvester, takes em down much faster

Don't forget that EMS mortar. #1 way to make defense missions easier, regardless of faction
EMS Mortar really shines in bot defend missions. A single mortar can tame an entire army and prevents getting overrun

Have you tried the new kick emote? It’s really fun and it actually does damage to teammates lol

If poe2 wasn't in EA, I'd be the greatest Illuminate Helldiver. Well, 5th greastest.
