A full 40 minute mission done in 12 minutes...not bad at all. I'll admit, I usually prefer the whole team moving together for the smallest footprint with the most firepower, but I can't argue with the 3 + 1 setup done well either, with clark1004 moving fast while we draw most of the aggro. Unlike other split team setups though, we didn't move in opposite directions, instead leapfrogging each other while remaining in vaguely the same side of the map, meaning in emergencies we could still provide cover for each other. Even within our 3, Specter's Spear being able to 2-shot Bunkers means we can snipe out those bases in no time.

Build:

Going with my Scorcher + HMG setup, the Scorcher taking care of Troopers and Heavy Devastators, and the HMG taking care of everything else, up to and including Factory Striders. Hopefully this run also shows just how quickly an HMG can deal with Gunships too - provided you lead the target to make up for the slower projectile speed, it can tear through with ease. Taking a Recoil Reduction armour like I have helps as well, though the Peak Physique armours work well too.

With a split team setup, I always feel a little safer running a Supply Backpack, freeing us up for Resupply call-ins for whoever needs it. Meanwhile I go with my tried and true OPS + 500kg combo that means I'm never without anti-structure strats, as well as decent AOE in a pinch. Stun nades can keep those groups locked down for the AOEs to hit, so Grenade Pistol slots in for Fabricator vent kills.
