Sickle, for sure. If you pace your fire properly, it’s got the best ammo economy out of any primary (outside of the Blitzer, maybe). The armor pen leaves a lot to be desired, but aiming in first-person is accurate enough that you can shoot around armor or target small weak points from afar with relative ease in a lot of cases.

Unless it’s a hot planet and I’m expecting a lot of engagements, in which case I’ll go back to the Slugger. It feels like overkill for most enemies, but damn is it satisfying to use. I especially love the Slugger’s sound design, it’s got such a satisfying "kachunk"y feel to it.

Against bots, Iove me some Slugger. Being able to stun lock the missle bots is just too good.

I switched to the slugger. Shooting the spewers in the face to cancel their spit as your squad focuses on the smaller mobs. So good.

Ooo I’ve never tried it against the Spewers. That’s good to know!

The Slugger staggers all the bugs that can call in a bug breach, and stagger cancels the call-in even if the target survives the shot. The stagger lasts long enough that you can chain-stun mid-size, dangerous enemies like Devastators or Brood Commanders. You can even stagger-juggle two or even three such targets if your aim is good. The crowd control power of the Slugger is why it’s my go-to primary.

Breaker simply go brrrrr. I think I’ve been sliding more towards the spray and pray, though, since it eats light units and I’m already carrying an autocannon most games.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the Sickle and Quasar combo. If you watch out for the heat you never have to worry about ammo.
