I feel like the laser dog is pretty much required for bugs because it's a near 100% uptime lawnmower for the hundreds of bugs that spring out of the walls on a constant basis.
I tried the shield a few times and I honestly prefer it on bugs. It saves tons of incidental damage from hunters any of the assholes that don't need a head to wreck your day. Also fewer injuries so better gun uptime while backing up because you don't need to stim.
While we're talking about bugs, everyone should have at least one orbital airburst in the party. Throw it on any bug breach and suddenly it's not a problem anymore. It'll kill anything smaller than a charger, and the charger will get staggered by the blast so you can line up anti tank easy.
My favourite thing about the shield is not getting staggered by the odd hit from something. Gives a bit of time to get the situation under control rather than getting stun locked straight away.
My favorite runs with 4 guard dogs and 4 arc throwers.
That sounds like a race to see who can get the most friendly fire damage!
That what the 95% ark resistant armour is great for, still want to try this
Finally I can win at something for once in my life
On lower difficulties sure, the harder it gets the less you want to aleart every bug you see. It also gets weaker and weaker.
