Back to the Bot front with my old Ballistic Shield + Defender + HMG build - with the shield no longer causing ragdoll deaths, it's back to being one of the best tools for frontal assaults on enemy positions, tanking any amount of laser fire as we push in on those Orbital Cannon bases and the Fortress. The highlight for me though was Echo and Steven's Walking Barrages as the perfect opener for an assault, taking out a pair of mortar emplacements in one Barrage, and also absolutely wrecking the Fortress as we kicked in the front door.

Build:

Ballistic Shield is amazing for tanking Heavy Devastators and MGs, letting you take the aggro for your teammates to flank - the Defender is pretty good at headshot hunting too, taking them down in just a few shots. I forgot to bring the Grenade Pistol for staggering Heavy Devs and taking out Fabricators, but the Senator does make for an excellent one-hander as well, one-shotting Devastators and Troopers.

For Rocket Devastators and everything else, the HMG is excellent, mowing down Berserker rushes, bursting down Hulks with eye-shots (use stuns for ease), tearing through Gunship engines and Scout Strider shields, and having the fastest underbelly kill on Factory Striders. Just make sure to bring either a recoil reduction armour for magdumping or a Peak Physique armour if you prefer faster aiming for single-fire.

OPS and 500kg are my standard go-tos for AT / anti-structure ability, decent AOE, and damage vs Factory Striders, though shout-out goes to the Walking Barrage brought my teammates.
