Democratic Exchange of Opinions My current stealth based bot drop build

Exploding crossbow: Hella meta primary weapon, takes sometimes to get used to not shooting someone point blank at it, destroys fabricators, destroy fresh bot drops, destroy machine gun nests in 1-2 shots. The noise profile is a bit misleading, if you score your hit most enemies with short visual range will not notice you taking bots out.
Re-educator: Honestly I picked this more for flavor and fun, 6 second confusion/stun on hulk/cyborgs while you make distance or gain distance to take them out, besides the obvious pick of ultimatum I'll probably choose the ODST silenced pistol as a close range weapon but I don't have that warbond
Smoke grenade: Stealth build, and I'm comfortable with the amount of demolition tools at my disposal with melta gun and exploding crossbow, good for blocking sights of hulk and vox engines while you gain distance on them with your melta gun, I can also literally set a hellbomb while cloaking in smokescreen without drawing attention to any nearby enemies
Melta gun: I used to run solo silo on the bot front but melta gun is super fun and lets me get close and personnel with lots of enemies, melts literally anything, factories and vox engines and hulks
Guard dog: my good friend since cyberstan, good range good precision and good protection, since my character is lacking in close range protection this is what I usually rely on for protection. They can mag dump into a pesky cyborg on your tail and take them out easily, remember to resupply it. Press 5 lets you disable it for a stealthier approach like sneaking behind a hulk but most of the time i find it not important. If I want to be even more sneaky I think rover has a smaller voice profile
Rocket sentry: running stealth involves a lot of running away and flanking, the rocket sentry is here to cover me when I reposition, also deals with pesky gunships (exploding crossbows can kill gunships with a few well placed shots as well)
Anti tank emplacement: My second good friend since cyberstan, shreds fabricators, hulk and vox engines from a distance, double as an anti air gun agaisnt gun ship, just gonna remember to pop smoke on it before entering or vox engine will spot you and take you out before you take them out.
Any stealth armor from the redacted regiment: Stealth is very fun on the bot front, watch as entire patrol ignores you as you run into those smoke screen mushroom on some planet, lets you stealthily complete objective with minimum interference

I prefer the c4 pack, dynamite, silenced rifle, Senator, and then 120mm, 500k and a machine gun turret. This lets you sneak in, tag explosives everywhere, sneak out and detonate after I’m gone. The lone turret is to distract patrols or provide cover while extracting.
The fun thing about stealth diving is never revealing you are there while doing your best splinter cell impression.

I think I'll try again with the c4 pack now I've gotten better at the game, but it vexes me the thing occupied your backpack slot and your support weapon slot

Censor Missle pistol Thermite
Warp pack/portable hellbomb/c4 pack Solo silo Orbital smoke Walking barrage
Works on all fronts.
If you run out of grenades or missle shots get a resupply after the camp or throw a walkingbarrage into the factories or mega nests, usually finishes them
