DMR or BR with bayonet plus upgraded strength.
You can one shot melee and fight at range, switching weapons instead of reloading till your safe. People say power weapons and vehicles make the game P2W, but using that combo which I got for free at only 7% of the required amount of XP to get max rank (bought all silver items, making headway on gold) I can play well at range and utterly decimate anyone who gets close.
Both are REQ 8, so at best someone is only using that setup for the final 25% of a match while everybody else also has their best REQs out.

You only need upgraded strength if they have enhanced shields. When I hit level 8 Usually run with Advanced sensors, BR with energy bayonet, and a Sentinel Silenced DMR. There is a very small range where I am at a disadvantage (smg at close range just outside melee plus thrust range), but otherwise it’s got what I need.

I usually hit REQ 8 in the last 5 or so mins, it’s nice I can counter power weapons simply by dodging good and swiping once.
It’s supposed to be OP… Also that is why I usually use upgraded shields.

I prefer Advanced Thrusters, so I can heal on the run when I have a precious REQ, which is currently all the Nornfangs I’ve been recently drowning in after buying 3 Nornfang packs with REQ points only…I barely any points left but they were well spent.

Does US stop it? I know it stops sniper headshots, so I use it 5-7 then switch to ES at 8.

I’ll keep that in mind for when I wrap up my binary comm 
Upgraded shields does indeed prevent the bayonet attachment from being a one-shot kill. Otherwise, people do get destroyed by it, which is a lot of fun! 
Remind me, what does Upgraded Strength do again?

Increase melee damage, I’ve not seen anyone survive being hit with it+bayonet yet at all. Is the bayonet one shot on unupgraded shields anyway?

It is a 1-hit kill on people who are not using upgraded shields, yes.
No one explained properly, but it’s easy to understand:
Energy Bayonet: 1 hit kill
Energy Bayonet Vs Upgraded Shields: Not one hit kill.
Energy Bayonet + Enhanced StrengthVS Upgraded Shields: 1 hit kill.
That’s basically the point of Enhanced Strength. Not to mention the extra melee range.
