The trick is trying to miss, so you miss the miss so when you miss you don't miss.

I tend to prefer the eplosive resist heavy armor. Protects you from the stuff the shield does not.

[@jacesullivan4563]

I used to run explosive resistance armor a bunch but now I use grenade armor instead since you can withstand most explosions anyways at the cost of a stim

[@sixthseis]

That 50% explosive resistance literally makes me feel so badass getting tossed around explosion after explosion, all for me to get back up! 💀😈

[@dripwastaken7884]

Sadly that ability doesnt stop you from getting oneshot from direct hits

[@brandonnguyen7181]

​@@dripwastaken7884This. If I put myself in a position where im hit by a rocket, that explosion resistance isnt worth it. I prefer to not be detected at all and keep the speed and map utility

really lol. Even though I have enough super samples for the last parts of the upgrades, I still pick it up. Same with common and rare.

[@magicjerk2641]

You're capped so quickly on super samples... common samples are the true super samples.

[@sethnewlin510]

I think its worth considering swapping the Senator for the grenade pistol to open up your grenade slot for the stun. You only saved yourself from taking damage one time all game with your sidearm so giving up the Senator shouldn't take much from the build and the stun grenade would trivialize Hulks, which seem to be the main thing that can easily overrun you. It's great against bots in general but stun grenade plus AMR/AC/LC just makes Hulks a complete non-issue. Also remember to crouch or prone when you aim the AMR when you can. It reduces the scope sway by a lot.

[@InvaderTroy]

And adjust the damn scope zoom! I can't see what he's shooting at 90% of the time lol

[@joelh870]

Yeah this was the only thing that puzzled me this vid. Grenade Pistol doesn't feel as reliable as Impacts, but overall the GP + Stuns feels like better utility, especially when the Pummeler covers you for trash and AMR covers you for armor pen, kinda making the Senator redundant right?

[@GooiYingChyi]

Only time I experience reduced sway is while prone. Even when crouching, the sway is big enough to not able to land head shots consistently. On the PS5 atm, I really really hope that there is going to be an aim assist feature for PS5 only. I'm not saying that it should automatically point my gun to their head, I'm just hoping for some quality of life improvements alongside the aim lock assist (it is still relatively weak at full strength).

[@GooiYingChyi]

​@InvaderTroy Right. PC players are notorious for aim-bot like senses even in really dark, low contrast environment. They seem to be able to land a headshot 97% of the time with 1x zoom, extreme sway, and poor lighting conditions. Try playing on the PS5 at 1080p, no VRR, and poor HDR rendering.

[@MrWigglesWorth]

Yes yes, however... Big Iron

[@taglagable]

Glad you’re liking the build. It’s been fantastic for me. The amr scope fix was huge. Makes taking down hulks a piece of cake

[@FairwellNoob]

It wasn't actually fixed. It's still misaligned. Just slightly less so

[@mohamedaanish]

I think it still sways a little to the left. Not nearly as much as before though, just a slightly

[@crestfallenhussar895]

The Butcher armor that you are wearing is in the shop today funny enough!

[@Chaosgremlin69420]

A true Juggernaut could only be wearing Dreadnought armor, that is the best armor for it.

[@heathyb0134]

Easily one of my favourite bot loadouts

[@lordstayfrosty]

Isnt that the CM17 butcher he is rocking ? The heavy +2 stim? The CM 21 trench paramedic is the light version and Takibo took way more hits than a light could endure during the video, or am I tripping ? (Can't be the medium CM14 Physician, no left shoulder tubular pods). Not trying to be that guy, genuinely curious here.

[@kahrl02]

True I also want to know…

[@SpoonRacing20]

Yeah looks like the heavy

[@davesscrims5079]

You can tell by his short stamina bar that it's the heavy.

[@hunterryan0119]

Yeah that’s the butcher set. Colgate colored haha cheers dude

[@sirthomastheodoreblackwood5590]

He's wearing the heavy version, the Butcher. Shoulder pads look like it.

[@DarkJuju92]

Urban legends says if you salute the flag, this will increase the speed and also give you a C-01 free pass!

[@FortMinorXFC]

Really? I was doing it for fun and thought it would be cool if it actually speed up the flag

[@InvaderTroy]

I've been using the B-24 Enforcer armor from the super store instead of medic. Not quite as slow as true heavy armor, but it still has headshot reduction and explosive resistance.

[@spacebarjazz]

Nice call on the Butcher armor! I'd been using the enforcer armor before (125-ish + fortified), but the extra stim duration and reserves really make this loadout even tankier.

[@QWERTY-du4hc]

I'll give this a look. I love the medic gear and got all 3 different armor ratings when they showed up in the requisitions tab. My favorite so far has been the trench medic because I typically go off on my own and the extra two stims with the extended effects makes it easier to deal with situations where I get stuck.

[@Doom-vz9mm]

The citizen armor is underrated but actually the armor has saved me at least 20 times

[@mrsnackbar9383]

Love your vids! Any video title that has loadout or build in it, video should start with a pre drop visual of what you bring in. Just a quality of life for the viewers.

[@the_takibo]

Noted!

[@windsgrace688]

As far as quiet weapons go, I think the quietest sidearm currently is the Peacemaker (tutorial pistol) and I think it'll only be heard by enemies within about 10 meters. I believe the Senator is also fairly quiet but not sure about the alert range on it. Eravin has a bunch of informational HD2 videos about the stealth playstyle. A bunch of weapons are surprisingly quiet. I remember successfully playing stealth-sniper with the Eruptor around its release even though it's apparently a very loud weapon. Some weapons like the crossbow and the grenade pistol are completely silent for all intents and purposes and only the explosion from the detonation of the projectile itself will alert enemies (so you can use it to bait enemy patrols away from you).

[@shemsuhor8763]

You guys ever notice with the AMR how - sight alignment aside - sometimes your shots just seem to vanish? I've fired a shot right at a Hulk eye before, then followed it up after letting recoil adjust and the shot just either "doesn't happen" or somehow goes nowhere near the target? Happens quite frequently. It's like the "recoil reset timing" is longer than the sight picture returning to target or something maybe?

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Yup, I've even seen my shot go thru a bot and hit the bot behind it without damaging the front bot

[@shemsuhor8763]

@@abcdefgcdefg5178 Thank you for confirming I'm slightly less insane than I know I am. It's wild how much good will AH has with this game that is still riddled with problems like this. 2024 has been a terrible year for gaming. XD

[@aab350z]

I think the hitboxes or hit detection is a tad wonky. I hit targets a lot with scoped weapons and watch the bullet pass right through them. I really only notice it on the bots though, not so much on the bugs.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

@shemsuhor8763 no worries, I think ah has such good will because we all see what this game COULD be if they stop using nerfs as their main balance tool and get rid of alexus and fix bugs and stop worrying about a warbond every month, but I could be wrong

Heya @takibo! Enjoying your videos as always! Thank you for your work and your guidance! I have a question for you that you probably already answered in earlier videos, it's about your keybind and how can you run while calling stratagems. I fell like I probably need to change mine, I have to stop to call the stratagems. If you could share your binds or point me in the right direction that would be amazingggg

[@jmnero4447]

I'd recommend when running away from stuff and they are shooting at your back, switch to your support weapon to put your shield on your back. It will protect you. :)

[@leonardovelasco5625]

My favorite build!!! I switch between the AMR and the Laser Canon!! These support weapons plus stun grenades make quick work of Hulks

[@honestbenny]

Do Dilligence Counter Sniper (it one shot headshot devs now and one-shot body shot small bots) + Laser Cannon (for Walkers) + Stun nades + shieldback pack. Good loadout and break from AC/AMR.

[@JinXsu471]

Having stun grenades helps with the hulks. Stun em, they stand still, hit your shots or drop airstrikes. Also the laser cannon is a good option as your support weapon in this build. But I'll have to try the material rifle as a backup instead and see how it feels.

[@jeabjeab4600]

So much fun, thank :}

[@jasonsager4592]

The AMR is really meant to be fired while crouched or prone, it eliminates most of the sway, try crouching first and it should help with your issues with aiming it.

[@gaetandutoure5273]

what i enjoy doing against shield devastators and a shield loadout like this, is either grenade pistol or crouch walk to reduce recoil (slower movement) and area that can be shot

[@8-7-styx94]

I always feel like I'm the only one who does this, but I try to leg/disarm hulks as often as possible. I don't bother killing them unless I get a clean, and I mean CLEAN shot on their backpack. If you wonder why, it's cause a legged hulk is something like 75% slower and it allows even heavy armor users to just outrun them. The threat difference is night and day. Scorchers become useless and rocket hulks turn into turrets. It's not even that hard to do as the legs are a big target and easy to shoot from basically any angle.

[@DuelistFencing]

I'm pretty new and don't have the super credits to get polar patriots, would defender smg still work well with this setup?

[@cryyx223]

Great vid

[@seandelaney8639]

regarding stealth weapons: apparently the crossbow is supposed to draw less attention becaue it is quiet (when it fires)

[@exoterminator6995]

This might've convinced me to choose a different heavy armor as I normally take servo-assist. Up to 90m throw distance has been invaluable, but is only good if I'm alive.

[@ApeWorld4]

When running away u can swap to support weapon to put the shield on ur back so it still protects u

[@raphaelsilva6071]

I use a similar setup, but instead of the AMR I use the HMG. it easily deals with the bigger threats despites being slow to aim heavy armor with extra padding or explosive protection are better than +2 stims

[@kaharakahara]

lol the moment he talks about stealth based weapons, he just get shot by everyone from miles away.

[@curlingfanatic1464]

The butcher armorset must be the tankiest set in the game. 150 armor plus the extra stims and extra stim lenght. But having reduced explosive damage vs automatons is great.

[@kuddybeef777]

I recommend adding stuns. Offers you a better window of time to target a headshot on devastators, whether behind shield or w AMR

[@dame_corleone]

We need you taking out as much bots as possible there’s a major order

[@dannycolwell8028]

I feel like even with a loud weapon like the amr, if you’re far away, enemies should have to look around for a moment to find out witch direction the shot is coming from

[@DrauulGaming]

Pummeler and shield has been an absolute blast all weekend. They don't simply get staggered, it's like a mini stun grenade and they full on shut down for a couple seconds. Still a feat to shoot that tiny ass head hitbox though. Aren't you loving these Tekken mid-air juggles the bots have been pulling off on our ragdolls lately?

[@AlessandroParisi95]

26:43 blue laser shooting on your back lol

[@jonservo]

I used the pummeler against the bots, and honestly I think I prefer the counter sniper and amr combo for them. I really like the smg for the bugs though since so many rush you it shuts that down nicely. If they ever come out with an acid grenade that is effective against the bots I would probably run the pummeler with it to keep them stunned in the DOT area.

[@BeardGrizzly]

oh ok... Basically the same I'm using now. Yeah it's a beast.

[@MDestron2282]

The only weakness of this build is gunship factories on helldive. Gameover, you cant take them out fast enough to keep the hellbomb safe. That.... or my room may have gotten bugged and had the spawn rate of 4 with 1. Yes you CAN deal with gunships to some capacity, the problem is that the spawn rate and ammo of the AMR cant deal with it to get the full clear.

[@zenks5883]

Since I run lots of solo missions, I'll try this one out and see how it works.

Maybe try crouching or going prone to help with sway. It makes you harder to hit as well.

[@chrisparky]

It's not just you! I use the AMR on all builds and I find the aiming way off. Many many times it looks like the shots are not registering, especially long shots, it feels like the environment is blocking what looks like a direct shot, so I wonder if it's a mess texture bug?
