Red Solstice 2: Survivors – Heavy Support Builds

Guide to Heavy Support Builds

Foreword

• Primary Role – Crowd Control.
• Secondary Role – DPS.
• Alternate Role – Biomass Control/Support.

Basics

The heavy support is a pretty flexible role. It can deal a lot of damage. It can do a lot of suppression (bonus damage for friendlies and move speed penalties for the mobs) It has a lot of different variations that can work, some of these classes are complex and I’ll mostly be going over what I enjoy.

First Build

• 7 Points and you get to play heavy!
• Wired armor is your friend.

Dakka Build

• This is about Full Dakka
• This build is worthless if you don’t put 5 points into stabilizer and manual fire
• 1 point into wired armor for free bullets.

Advanced Builds

AceAceBaby Build

• High crit stacking potential.
• Pairs very well with a recon to decrease kinetic resistance.
• Somewhat ammo Efficient.
• Shots go boom as well?
• Stonewall level 5 is a boss killer.

Biomass clear/ Leader

• Ability to turn on auto aim and stare at map and team positioning to coordinate.
• 1 point into rocket manufacture to hunt down biomass.
• 5 points in shoulder turret + auto aim does wonders for killing things.
• 1 point into ammo link means more than 50% less time spent reloading.

AutoAim King

• Put points into HLSF and stay near team.
• Turn on Auto Aim.
• Profit

You can really use whatever build you want, Mini gun would benefit from wired and stabilizer.

Components

Defense

Smoke Grenade

• Uhh I don’t know why you would, but i guess you can?

Safeguard

• This one is pretty good against bigger mobs, helps keep them supressed and get them supressed

HSLF

• This is a team buff that increases your whole teams auto aim ability.

Shoulder Turrets

• Overall a decent modules, It helps with trash mobs and ammo saving early.

Critical Hit

• Low energy cots, I usually dont put to many points here but if your going crit stacking.

Heavy Weapons

• Low Suit energy cost, I tend not to play with it too much, can be combo’d pretty effectively with wired armor for RPM increase without eating energy

Supressive Fire

• I tend not to use this because it eats ammo like crazy, I foresee this being a boss killer combo, between this and Stonewall.

Targeting Systems

• Strong option for a second for a buff focused heavy. Activate this when the dogs start rolling in.

Stonewall

• This one gives a huge dps boost when active at the cost of movement speed and energy. Be careful and make sure your team has your back.

Battle Drone

• This guy can grind down bosses and clear trash mobs, If you don’t want to focus on a heavy weapon but still want to have some good burst damage this guy is worth playing with.

Rocket Ammo

• Click every minute for trash clear or Biomass control.

Wired Ammunition

• Free bullets, more points more DAKKA.

Stabilizer

• Makes bullets shoot straighter and crit harder.

Ammunition Link

• 1 point reduces spent time reloading by over 50% whats not to love. Other bonuses too…

HLSF

• Double Post.

Smokewall

• Spooky Fun. Might be useful, havent Really used it.
