Loadout Guide

Strategy

Grapple towards ambushes and groups of enemies, and move away while focusing with the M1000. Shoot a focus shot when the grunts have gathered in a straight line and clean up the survivors (stunned by Hitting Where it Hurts) using the Zhukov NUK17. Large groups that are not in a line should be stunned with the Voltaic Stun Sweeper and cleared out with M1000 unfocused headshots (insta-kill grunts and similar HP enemies), or the Zhukovs. Use primarily focus shots and grappling out their range of attack to kill high priority and high HP targets. Make sure to light the cave up with your Flare Gun upon entering, and regularly so your fellow dwarves can always see glyphids from a distance.

Make sure to ping high up resources for your engineer to create a platform on, and between swarms focus on progressing the mission objective and gathering minerals.
