Nothing to really Argue here, A solid loadout of choice besides the Stun Baton as noted in the report. For fighting Terminids in particular this loadout is certainly Effective at dealing with any threat presented to the Helldivers. The Arc Blitzer while slow firing, its ability to Stun groups of Terminids is invaluable for countering their Swarm Tactics. The HE grenade while not "fancy" is realizable and effective. And the Stratagems chosen cover all bases and threats. While it is true 380mm barrage can lead to some "unfortunate" friendly fire incidents, when dealing with larger Termind nests its not a bad idea to chuck it in to thin the awaiting swarm. Although I do 100% agree the 120mm Barrages is certainly more effective at providing Fire support, the 380mm is more for barraging enemy encampments or thinning out an incoming Swarm. As an additional note, The Autocannon is the best weapon to use the "Team Reload" Method. Not only do you not have to stand still to reload, but you can take advantage of the True fully automatic fire rate of the Autocannon while your Comrade feeds the hopper with Clips. You have not truely Experienced Helldivering till you have unloaded an entire backpack of Autocannon shells while team reloading. This defense technic will eliminate all but the toughest of foes in a matter of moments, and if the Autocannon is not enough thats what the 500KG bomb is for. The thought also occurs to me: Combine the Blitzer, Stun Baton, Gas Grenade and Ballistic shield, and you basically have a RIOT Police loadout. Thow in the Gas Strike, EMS Strike, and EMS motor for good measure. Not necessarily the most effective loadout I admit, but it certainly ranks highly in a support role for a team.
One 500? Someone's eagle is not space optimized
I've been an autocannon otp since i got it lol
You want it inside WHERE?!?!

This riot loadout is an interesting concept. It has been added to the division's testing schedule.
