Is anyone running a Blitz yet?
I've gotten some lucky chests and have 8k comps for one. I'm thinking running 2 gusts / 2 mags (since the dmg increase) as a good, all around knife fighter. Not interested in halos or shredders since this thing is meant for 1-on-1 fighting and prefer max damage over lockdown.

No but they're on the field already.
Halo/Gust.

This thing was build for 4 Halos. Suppress and root all in one bot.

No but they're on the field already. Halo/Gust. Definitely mix halos and gusts. Gusts do less damage per shot, but have more rounds stored, thus greater damage output. It's also Kinetic damage so you can shoot down anciles from afar or break physical shields faster than pure energy (halos). Another route is to go with Shredders to do more damage at range. This would have less damage potential but be overall more annoying and probably allow you to last longer in the bot. The bot is extremely vulnerable without its ability up. |

Halos have more utility than gust, and the damage difference isn't that big. When you lock your opponent, you can strife and he can't, if you know how to resd your opponent movements, you have a big advantage.

I’ve run both, 4x gusts and 2/3 gusts + 2/1 halos. At most, I’d run 1 halo as the 3 sec reload can be the difference between killing and dying! Blitz is a brawler so you’d better make sure you kill your prey!

Currently running 2 halos (bottom) and 2 gusts (top). working out really well for me, great balance between utility and damage. also keeping in mind it's more versatile considering the resistance vs. kinetic/energy.

Oh, I tried a 4x Noricum L12Mk2s and it is better than outfitting them on a Patton...the ability is used to reduce damage & run away when reds get too close!

I put my halos on the top 2 slots so that I can root reds when peeking over hills/small buildings...and then rush in! |

I got lucky with a chest and got my hands one of these little guys. It's only level one because I've got a few days left on my haechi, but I've been running gekkos on it for a fun build. Zap, skeet skeet and then run away and zap some more!

Having only run my level 4 Blitz in E3, I can say that..
1) I was honestly surprised at how little health the ageis shield has. Hopefully once leveled up it will be more effective.
2) Gekkos or molots are your friend while the blitz is in its adolescences.
3) I use budget build aphids and pinatas to make use of the relatively short range of the suppression feature. Gusts are tricky, only because the shield goes quick, and there is no stealth.
4) The utility of the blitz seems predicated on it being highly leveled. Mine is currently benched until at least LVL 9.
Just my 2 cents for what to expect from the blitz if you plan to play it as soon as you get it.
Good luck!

I have three magnums and a halo on mine. Liking that build so far.
