My fellow soldiers, what gear have you been taking into battle? How has your creating of loadouts changed since you started levelling up?
Personally, I started out pretty geeked out over being able to use the BR again, and it is a decent weapon. However, the DMR purely outclasses it in any situation except for a 1v1 where your opponent has no shield.
To the point…here are my current loadouts with little tids of info:
Rifleman
DMR primary
AR secondary
Frag
Jetpack
Firepower
Awareness
>I feel that this loadout encompasses everything someone would need to quickly jump in and start kicking -Yoink-! DMR for long-mid, AR for when someone gets up close. The jetpack lets me move around a bit more freely than my “grounded” loadouts, while awareness mod keeps people from assassinating me whilst I’m trying to snipe, which happens to me a lot in this game.
Scout
DMR
PP
Plasma
Regeneration Bubble
Mobility
Ammo
>Everything I need to tackle the BTB maps. Mobility lets me not only seek out pesky campers faster, but it also lets me rush to the aid of pinned-down teammates in no time! Ammo and the bubble always have my back.
Sturmtruppe
BR
BS (fitting acronym)
Plasma
Promethazine Vision
AA efficiency
Ammo
>Again, I need the ammo in order to survive long periods of battle where the enemy might not be dropping weapons suited for my taste. This is definitely my “cheap” loadout. I’ve racked up killing frenzies just by using this loadout to hold the middle building on longbow/vortex/exile. The DoA grenade has helped me get out of a few less-than-savory situations.
Predator
LR
CARB
Promethazine grenade
Acto Camo
Firepower
Sensor
>I just made this loadout and experienced pleasing results from the initial test. The Light Rifle is a beast at long range, while the carbine is definitely my favorite “mop up” weapon. Sensor upgrade lets me detect enemies and quickly go into “hide mode” before they can be made aware of my presence.
Schutzewaffel
BR
Magnum
Frag
Hologram
Resupply
Explosives
>This is one for pure nostalgia. Sometimes I just like some good old lobbing and robbing, and that’s what this loadout’s for.
I can’t share mine! As soon as they see i have a DMR and AR as secondary i will get hounded by all the little kids on the forum say i’m cheating for carrying the two OP weapons of the game lulz
I love dexterity though! In the previous halos i always used to get caught reloading lol
My loadout is basic but i love it
Primary - Light Rifle (Love watching DMR ppl rage when i take them out with this at range)
Secondary - Plasma Pistol (Vehicle Protection and if i run low on ammo so i can noob combo)
Grenade - Frag (Plasma is too buggy and range is weak and the other one is trash)
Hologram - (Used it with the default class and if you know how to use it right it can fool the best of players)
Mobility - (Love the infinite sprint, lets me send out my clone then sprint around a circle or anywhere else i need to be)
Dexterity - (Love the fast reload, i have a habit of reloading after every fight so i used to run into the problem of getting jumped as im reloading…not anymore!)
This is my basic one. Sometimes i might switch to a DMR if there are a lot of DMR users on the other team. Also i sometimes switch holo and mobil for regen and the perk that makes it so you abilities recharge faster. Thats for when i play with certain friends and i dont play as a “lone wolf”.
I really only have two basic loadouts currently: one set for matchmaking and one for Spartan Ops.
DMR
DMR
Plasma Pistol (vehicles)
Plasma nades (vehicles)
active camo
AA
Dexterity
–Basically just a straight up DMR ownage loadout, with camo for added sneakiness if I want to be a ninja.
–I also have a class just like this with a BR and an AR depending on my mood/the map.
BTIS
the same variation as above, but with Ordinance Priority instead of dexterity. Maximum vehicle control is the idear here.
Spartan Ops
Carbine
Plasma Pistol (noob combo)
frags
hardlight shield
AA
Dexterity
–after running through legendary in campaign/SO i’ve learned to love the hardlight shield. It’s great for poking in and killing a knight or something, then backing out while covered by your shield. Very nice combo!
–PS. I prefer the carbine as you get the maximum number of headshots with it compared to any other medium/long range rifle. The DMR has a smaller ammo count, the BR and the lightrifle both take 3 bullets per shot which equals less headshots compared to carbine (assuming you can’t find any ammo, which is relevant for campaign at least)
I use this loadout primarily. Because it’s tiresome having to switch between the DMR and BR either in game or before the match starts, so I decided to start with both. I use BR on smaller maps like Haven or Abandon, and the DMR on bigger maps like Complex and Meltdown. I use this loadout with Oddball, as well.
-Loadout 2
AR
Magnum
Frag
Promethean Vision
Mobility
Ammo
I use this loadout on smaller maps with objective gametypes, like KoTH on Haven. It really helps me get the job done since I can still kill from a medium distance in one clip. Magnum is just for backup if I need to pick off a second enemy while I have an empty clip in my AR. Since I’m not using a precision weapon, I have no use for Awareness.
This is just an experimental loadout, I rarely use it except when I’m just playing just because.
-Loadout 4
LR
Magnum
Frag
Promethean Vision
Mobility
Awareness
Another of my experimental loadouts. I want to try this one out more, but I can’t because I ran out of Gold membership. So I don’t know how I would use this loadout any at the moment.
I put my loadouts in spoiler tags so that it will save space and look less cluttered.
