Weapon and Star Card Loadouts -- Summer 2020
Given the recent influx of new players, I figured now would be a good time to talk about Weapon and Star Card loadouts, and see what setups people are rolling with. The last time I started this discussion (on the old forums), some people offered insights as to certain Star Cards not working as described. I know there also used to be a thread detailing the various inconsistencies with the various Hero Star Cards. Unfortunately, those threads are gone now, so hopefully we can rebuild the knowledge base.
I don't really play much HvV, so I can't offer much in terms of Hero builds, but I will happily start things off with my setup for Co-Op/Galactic Assault:
Assault: E-11D with Reduced Recoil and Improved Range; Survivalist, Improved Thermal Detonator, Toughen Up
Heavy: FWMB-10K with Auto Cooling and Night Vision; Survivalist, Improved Impact Grenade, Barrage
Officer: DL-18 with Improved Cooling and Reduced Spread; Survivalist, Improved Blaster Turret, Recharge Command
Specialist: A280-CFE with Dual Zoom and Burst Mode; Stealth, Expert Weapons Handling, Survivalist
Enforcer: Survivalist, Enforcer Training, Battle Hardened
Aerial: Aerial Training, Survivalist, Battle Hardened
Infiltrator: Desperation, Evasion, Stalker
Your mileage may vary, but the above setups are what work best for me and my individual playstyle. I try to stay fairly mobile, regardless of which class I use, and try to keep my encounters around medium distance.
