Wats the best loadout?

[X-COM]

Just wondering what loadout everyone prefers for there squad?

 

I mainly use the advance aliens lasers, a plasma shotgun and a grenade launcher.

 

I guess that it depends what mission you doing but what do the rest of you generally use?

Always do different loadouts for different missions, as I stated in an earlier post this game makes you use lots of different weapons for different tasks and that is a good thing :-)

I've just started seeing Reticulans in the Blue Sky Armor, and those can be expedited quite easily with the Steygr Assault Rifle (does hard damage and almost equal dmg and range to the alien laser rifle), for close quarters i sometimes use the flamethrower for insane damage (3900 dmg base value), one soldier with these can take down an alien of above said type with one blast/spray.

I've got none of the weapons you're talking about researched at the moment. :hmmm:

And after your post I feel like playing with ape-men throwing stones at aliens. THX !

I've used these and had no trouble (move to the next line when it becomes available):

 

4 uzis, 3 shotguns

4 rifles, 3 mp5s

4 rifles, 2 snipers, 1 rpg

4 laser rifles, 2 snipers, 1 gren. launcher (this is as far as I am )

 

Everyone has 4 ammo per weapon and enough grenades to put them on 100% capacity.

 

A 7 man team has 3 med-kits (in belt pouches).

use the pdw/mp7 sub machinegun, extremly good. hardly ever used the steyr myself.

I used G3 assault rifles for a LONG time (NOT G36). Good damage, great range.

Altho in burst mode it lacks power, but for close combat team carried shotguns or high-powered SMG's (like P50 for instance)

[Geri1980]

Just entered the 4th Base and so my weapons are not so powerfull. But for short distances I'm using the good old shotgun and for longer distances the Sniper riffle or the Colt M4.

[Ziggarius]

The G36 is pretty good too. My main killing machine uses that primarily, secondary is a deagle, and some missions I use a sniper rifle for the extreme range.

I have an other gun question. I have just gotten my first "folding weapon" (railgun) is there any way of keeping the gunner in "combat mode" so he does not fold it back after fireing? I mean it does not have a great range and takes forever to fold out and after the enemy dies he folds it back up and can use half of the next encounter deploying it once more.

 

BTW am I the only one that feels that combat inside the ufo's are to cramp ?

It is very hard to win in a medium UFO with 12 aliens running at you.

[Telkanes]

Not sure about teh folding Question mate but the Mp7 Cuts down Reticulans Quicker than a Quick thing with a degree of Quickness!

 

 

Thats how I win over UFO's
