So this spawned from wanting to find a good use for the default Particle Lance on Insane, followed by also wanting to find a good use for the Auto Shotgun on Insane too. Found it in 3-3. I don't usually do "build videos" or what have you, but I figured I'd share this one as its so niche and specific.

To be clear, Lancer doesn't have a hard time on this map, and most classes are fine too. I just was wanting to find the niche that made the default Particle Lance shine. And shoehorn the Autoshotgun and Autocannon into that too.

Explained a lot of my reasoning for the build and components of it while walking people through it, but I'll write it up here as well for each reference.

Agree? Disagree? Speak up. :)

CQW: Type 76 Auto Shotgun
Assault Brake + Compound Magazine + Hybrid Sight

Heavy: Thunderbolt Mk.2 Autocannon
Counterbalanced Brake + Polygonal Rifling + Quick Charge Armature

Perks: Lancer Heavy Training, Demolisher Heavy Training + Demolisher Heavy Expertise + Demolisher Heavy Mastery + Lancer Heavy Expertise
Protective Layer, Unshakeable, Omniscience, Bedside Manner, Quick Charge II
Shake It Off + Back In Action

I forgot to mention it in the video, but Protective Layer + Shake It Off + Back In Action is also good with using the Particle Lance on Husks, given the Particle Lance freezes the Lancer in place for a moment before firing. So if you get mauled as you're firing it, it'll help minimize the damage you take, and then heal a chunk of it shortly afterwards.

Also forgot to mention, though it is shown in the video, the Autocannon is a good fit with Onslaught with Poppers as well. Use it to extend your magazine so you don't have to reload to keep firing.

Not depicted in the video, but the Auto Shotgun can stand on its own versus Husks, and while there are better options, Onslaught and a Gunner popping Overclock shred Stalkers pretty fast.

This one isn't quite as split into sections as my last, so forgive one heading bleeding over into others...
