Thanks man! This build is absolutely insane I'm able to hold my own now in insane mode. I have been playing this game non-stop! Definitely subscribing.
For the Particle Pulse I'd drop the damage boosts and the electric field on kills and go for the slow and more cool down. The 3 shot has garbage damage and even putting all of the damage perks on doesn't help much, so chance are you won't be killing a lot of stuff for the electrical field to be useful. I'd also recommend using weapons and attachments that have high stumble chances to compliment the perk that gives extra stumble chance.
Great suggestions. Further testing confirms that the damage is in fact terrible regardless of what you do - strange since Micro Rockets retain their damage and Particle Lance is stronger... odd (sure wish we got training dummies on the Endevour). As stated I often change up to the perk that slows %40 as opposed to the one I have equipped in the video. I still think that slow is really helpful in the higher difficulties. Generally when I play Lancer on anything but Extreme/Insane I'm using the Minigun to really maximize the stumble chance; but you're right in this case. When using a launcher it might be better to throw on Back Me Up for the 20% team damage instead.
@@TGWhitta I agree about Back Me Up, especially if you're taking point. Not home currently but I can share my build later if you're interested. It's similar to this one, just a few modifications.

using particle pulse alongside the force multipliers is a bit counterproductive if you ask me. particle pulse reduces the damage of each shot in exchange for being able to use it multiple times in a row. i feel like having more cooldown on that skill would serve better than a damage increase when you're already lowering the damage. youre basically building into particle pulses weakness, rather than its strengths.
If you want a rifle, use the vol. it’s basically an assault rifle in small form and as for launchers, I use the new varja, it may not have microburst range but it does make a hell of a mess of anything in the area in front you
I'm not a fan of the Vol personally. I find that though it hits hard enough, it falls short when it comes to accuracy and range no matter how much you pump up those numbers. The SMG is a sleeper honestly, but it has the same drawbacks. I found the Stormsurge is an excellent long range replacement
Very excited! I want to use phalanx in extreme and above but it is a tough class to work with. I see you have a phalanx in your party though in the footage so I'm super excited to see what you've come up with.
You are right on the money. It's tough to really be truly viable as a Phalanx on higher difficulties - and actually be a help to your team, not a hindrance lol. I love playing Phalanx though personally, it's so unique.
I hear you. That's kinda the Lancer's problem right now. Not only are most of the Onslaught perks lackluster, but the Particle Lance variations are too all over the place. Particle Burst is useless, Particle Wave has too much downtime when you are just sitting on it, and Particle Pulse is so little damage for the stuns you get. Combine that with the MAJOR ammo management problems inherent in using a CQW and Heavy, and you've got a pretty weak kit overall imo. Lancer is fun, but I'd basically be happier seeing anything else on my team you know?
@@TGWhitta Yeah I feel the same way, lancer was one of the last classes I played. It's really fun but not super effective for the team when it gets tough. I think it would help a lot if onslaught worked for the whole team the way overclock does.
Many of the attachments were released and only obtainable from finishing Point Defense mode on higher difficulties unfortunately. Not easy to obtain without a team.
Personally as somone who started out as Demolisher and is now playing lancer, I just like the ability with onslaught using Medev/Rocketlauncher and just deleting swarms or specials. Demolisher though is probably better on insane because of the knockback, but personally I like Lancer more
Particle pulse comes from completing all of the promise of a flower campaign missions on I believe, any difficulty. It may only be standard and up. You talk to the staff sergeant and get an ability replacer for each class including particle pulse.
It's all dependant on what your heavy is honestly. If using a launcher, at least imo, you need something for basic, garden variety use. If one were to use the pump shotgun then you would be stuck in this kind of limbo where you can't really damage single targets at medium range. Not to mention the ammo problems. I wouldn't have a problem using the pump if my heavy was the smart gun for example.

Very informative breakdown. Looking forward to trying it out.

Please keep these coming! They help so much!
Thank you so much!! There's definitely more coming for each class, stay tuned! 😃
@@TGWhitta I hate that this game has died off. If you want to share your steam or tag I’d love to play with you. I’m on every night.
What attachments do you use on these weapons? Ql build btw - thanks!
Thanks my man Your Perks are Helping me Non stop
Glad to help my friend!!
Cool build! Hoping to see a phalanx build next, subbed. I'm definitely going to test this one out tomororrw
It's coming! 😃

@@TGWhitta it's a very cool class and also has one of the nicer prestige uniforms so it really encourages me to play them.
How do you unlock the microburst weapon for the lancer class?
For me, it's really hard to give up all that og lance damage for the 3 short stuns
I hear you. That's kinda the Lancer's problem right now. Not only are most of the Onslaught perks lackluster, but the Particle Lance variations are too all over the place.

That's a great idea honestly
How do you get high impact fire? I can’t find it anywhere
Thanks!!!!
I just picked this game up about a week ago, where do you get the force multiplier 1 modifier? I'm not seeing it anywhere
Random hidden cache drops from the Pathogen level I believe
WTF, how to have this build? Most of the core and modifier perks displayed here do not exist in my list 😞
Many of the attachments were released and only obtainable from finishing Point Defense mode on higher difficulties unfortunately. Not easy to obtain without a team.
Hi, why all people in gold stay at lvl 100???
XD thx in advanced.
What does the lancer actually bring that a demo doesn't?
Personally as somone who started out as Demolisher and is now playing lancer, I just like the ability with onslaught using Medev/Rocketlauncher and just deleting swarms or specials. Demolisher though is probably better on insane because of the knockback, but personally I like Lancer more
What costume is this
Prestige set
Where do u get particle pulse
Don't quote me, but I believe you get it from Parks armory
@@TGWhitta no luck
Sorry man, then I'm not sure. Could be a random mission reward/hidden cache

TG, how to get the Particle Pulse?
It's a reward from finishing the Pathogen campaign
@@TGWhitta any specific difficulty?
Nope I don't believe so 😄
@@TGWhitta I just got it!!! Thanks!!!
You know what i really hate? Those green head exploding xeno...🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Never heard anyone want to use a rifle over the pump shotgun. Strange.

You failed to cover the attachments for weapons for that thumbs down
He literally said it’s up to you to choose them as it’s dependent on your play style you clown
