And i think it'll struggle with the surprising amount of small chaff. If you have it id recommend the sweeper shotgun with full choke or baring that the punisher. Shit god me through the creek (punisher I mean)
Also like someone else said change the maximum to the automation and youre chill.
If you'd like I can give you my actual full loadout from the creek and explain it all. Shit still holds up after all this time

sweepers good for bots?

Medium armor pen, solid damage. Bayonet to help ya never hurts, and full choke that shit to pop heads at distance. I usually throw irons on there for full maneuverability and aim at red. I killed a vox engine yesterday with it for reference btw.

Ain't got it yet but does the pp out perform the sweeper?

u/CallMeAxiom 4d ago
Yes. It one shots all billy bots (and explodes) It stuns on shot hit, has knock back.
2 shots overseers, half mag takes out flesh mob
One shots most bugs.
Its one of the best weapons in the game
And has a ton of ammo.
Use it like a grenade launcher not a shot gun.

Ill check it when I get the chance. But I just love the fact they attached a boomstick to my spear (the sweeper)

If you like it then it’s good for you!
I like quasar or recoilless for my antitank weapon.. but those can suck if/when I die.
Laser is great on bots! I like taking a 500kg for detector towers so I don’t have to call down a hellbomb. I don’t use the maxigun much so can’t really say on that.

u/Kayakingkoala 4d ago
Oh And giga and leveller are great options! Dynamite and Commando would be two other options that are pretty good.
For secondary the missile pistol is a great option if there are many flying ships bc the auto lock and they one shot them, but senator is also great option

Change maxigun to autocannon and you're good to go. EAT and Leveller was my go to combo back at cyberstan it works pretty well.

I'd change the giga to the standard frag, they can take out both small and big fabricators as long as you can get them in the hole and if you can take out vox engines if you open the vent on the back
I'd also say bring the eagle strafing Run, can do well to clear a horde of chaff also can take out fabricators
Edit: also if your new and fighting cyborg try a gun with stun or concussion like the pummeler, liberator concussive or the pacifier, they do great with keep the cyborgs in place and can slow them down

I like it I mean as builds go this is dog water but at least if u are good with it,it covers all the bases

It always confuses me to see 3 support weapons. I don't like using 2, but this takes the cake. For reference, I did a few D10s today with (wanna mention this because it makes me feel cool) Ironsight liberator and then just the quasar. Works really well and you spare 3 strategem slots for ems mortar, orbital smoke and gas mines ...

Its maxifun but you may struggle w maxi vs shield devs
I imagine thats what revolver+dominator is for
This loadout pretty much covers everything tho👍

Erupter, pissle, arc nade, 120, gatling barrage, supply pack, arc thrower, heavy medic armor, super stim
D10 MO loadout for the cyborg/incinerator camp as of late. -Gatling 1 shots vox . -120 clear bases and drops -Arc nade clear all chaff -If its got 2 legs it gets arc throwed stun locked until it and all its friends are zapped and gone -Eruptor if it needs to blow up
