    Greetings Pilots,

    This thread is intended for sharing Pilot Loadouts and describing playstyles that go with them.
    The main goal here is to identify synergies between various customization options and link them to specific roles (e.g. flag carrier, hardpoint defender, area control sniper etc.).


    To list your loadout please use a structured approach following an example below.
    When describing playstyle focus on explaining how different load-out choices contribute to the role you take.


    Load out name: Flag Carrier

    Tactical ability: Cloak, Pulse Blade, Grapple, Stim, Phase Shift, Holo Point, A-Wall
    Boost: Amped Weapons, Ticks, Smart Pistol, Map Hack, Pilot Sentries, Battery Back-up, Radar Jammer, Titan Sentry, Phase Rewind, Hard Cover, Holo Pilot, Dice Roll
    Primary weapon: R-201 Carbine (too many to list all)
    Primary weapon mods: Extra Ammo, Gun Runner, Speedloader, Gun Ready, Quick Swap, Tactikill
    Secondary weapon: RE-45 Auto (too many to list all)
    Ordnance: Frag Grenade, Arc Grenade, Firestar, Gravity Star, Satchel, Electric Smoke Grenade
    Kit 1: Phase Embark, Ordnance Expert, Fast Regen, Power Cell
    Kit 2: Kill Report, Wall Hang, Hover, Low Profile
    Mode: Any, Amped Hardpoint, Bounty Hunt, Pilots vs. Pilots, Capture the Flag, Attrition, Last Titan Standing, Free for All, Coliseum
    Map: Any, Forwardbase Kodai, Boomtown, Homestead, Exoplanet, Black Water Canal, Eden, Drydock, Crash Site, Complex

    Playstyle: (example) This is a flag carrier load out focused on map awareness, damage avoidance and short range combat. When carrying flag Map Hack helps you avoid combat encounters, Phase Shift / Fast Regen give you a chance to survive heat of battle, while Gravity Star can slow down chasing enemies. Since your plan is to engage in fights only around ally/enemy flag point use Phase Shift / EVA-8 Shotgun short range combat tactic to clean the area.

    I'm looking forward to see your load-outs in the comments below! :)

    the enemies can see you even cloackd, so it's useless, the pulse blade is only for early levels, the map hack replaces it it covers a wider range,
    weapons: i use r 201 or c.a.r. or devotion,
    secondary i use the tracker missile launcher antitian, the last in the list
    extra ammo and fast reload
    boost map hack
    gravity star or electric moke
    i use the firstdefault pilot, default color,
    mode: attrition, (it's the only one that finds players :s)

    Let me post a few load-outs that I was trying out.

    Load out name: Flag Carrier

    Tactical ability: Phase Shift
    Boost: Map Hack
    Primary weapon: EVA-8 Shotgun
    Primary weapon mods: Gun Runner, Tactikill
    Secondary weapon: MGL Mag Launcher
    Ordnance: Gravity Star
    Kit 1: Power Cell
    Kit 2: Wall Hang
    Mode: Capture the Flag
    Map: Any

    Playstyle: Flag carrier load out focused on map awareness, damage avoidance and short range combat. When carrying flag Map Hack helps you avoid combat encounters, Phase Shift / Fast Regen give you a chance to survive heat of battle, while Gravity Star can slow down chasing enemies. Since your plan is to engage in fights only around ally/enemy flag point use Phase Shift / EVA-8 Shotgun short range combat tactic to clean the area.

    Load out name: Close Quarters Assault

    Tactical ability: Stim
    Boost: Dice Roll
    Primary weapon: Sub-Machine Gun
    Primary weapon mods: Tactikill, Speedloader
    Secondary weapon: Charge Rifle
    Ordnance: Arc Grenade
    Kit 1: Power Cell
    Kit 2: Kill Report
    Mode: Any
    Map: Any

    Playstyle: Classic T1 loadout focused on high mobility and winning 1:1 encounters through unpredictable movement, excellent map awareness and hip-fire accuracy. High skill cap makes it preferred build for many pro-players though it can be a bit overwhelming for newer players as the most enjoyable way of playing this build is to stay in the heat of battle most of the time.

    Load out name: Mid-Range Support

    Tactical ability: Blade Shift
    Boost: Map Hack
    Primary weapon: R-201 Carbine / Hemlok BF-R
    Primary weapon mods: Tactikill, Extra Ammo
    Secondary weapon: Charge Rifle
    Ordnance: Electric Smoke Grenade
    Kit 1: Power Cell
    Kit 2: Hover
    Mode: Any
    Map: Any

    Playstyle: Build focused on staying behind the main push and providing map awareness / cover fire to teammates. It requires a bit more cautious approach to combat encounters. Recommended for newer players who have difficulty winning 1:1 fights but still want to tactically contribute to the team's success.

    Load out name: Sniper

    Tactical ability: Cloak
    Boost: Pilot Sentries
    Primary weapon: Kraber
    Primary weapon mods: Gun Ready, Speed Loader
    Secondary weapon: RE-45 Auto
    Ordnance: Gravity Star
    Kit 1: Phase Embark
    Kit 2: Low Profile
    Mode: Any
    Map: Any


    Playstyle: Backline, area denial, cover fire build centered around Kraber or any other sniper rifle. RE-45 Auto, Pilot Sentries are there to help with close quarter fights. Cloak / Phase Embark are there to disengage / get to safety.
