I always seem to get killed by the Pursuer so I just picked one up and am starting to level. I have Magnums that are leveled 12/11 that I could put on right away but I know the Gust seems to be the way to go. I have a lvl 11 and lvl 1 that I could start working on but wanted some other ideas. I don't know much about the Halo or Shredder, would one of them be an option as the 3rd weapon? Any other ideas? I hate to waste resources so I want to try to make the best choice.

I voted 3 Gusts. I did the 2 Gust/1 Halo for a bit and can't complain with the effectiveness. But, since I only have 1 Halo, I've been moving it around to see what bot I like it on better. The thing with the Pursuer is that it's already so damn fast that the root isn't very necessary - unless you're rooting for team mates to follow up on.

Gust. The power of this weapon will blow you away.
More damage output than halo, and the bot is fast enough, it does not need to lock down. But still an viable option I suppose.

Gusts get my vote. They can tactically chip away or chomp chunks out of HP bars.

It's the Pursuer with three gusts that always seems to be taking out my bots.
I have one that I am not using at this time as it needs to be leveled up and I am using my
resources for other Bots at this time.  |

I run a gust Pursuer regularly and immobilizing the enemy could help. I find the gust is HORRIBLY inaccurate when circling or moving laterally to the target. I can maintain 100% accuracy, crosshairs lined up perfectly on the target, but damage goes to poop with any maneuvering. So if you could pin them down and then focus your fire it would likely be an improvement. So I’d be tempted to throw a halo on too.
That said it’s a monster once Mk2 12 with 3 gusts. Might be giving up some DPM with a halo

Gust or Spark are the only two options for me. Gusts are better imo but a spark Pursuer has versatility comparable to gusts especially while in Hunt mode. I run one of each in my short map hangar (pGusts 10/12/12/12) and big map hangar (pSparks 9/8/7/6).
Like the Scourge, have the spark charged and on the target you want locked on. If you lock on stealth bots pre-jump they get zapped with the sparks before stealth kicks in. It's a great way to finish off the low health lurkers end game (a la @earlcampbell and his Scourge Hover). Also works great as a beacon runner with it's Special ability.
Try it out. YMMV.

Really depends on the role you want to play, so there isn’t one beat load-out.
- Magnums don’t pack enough punch in 1v1 typically
- Gusts are devastating at close range
- Sparks are versatile for MR support or CQC
- Shredders don’t pack enough punch for CQC so you’re more of a support using these
- Halos, or one Halo and two Gusts is what I’ve been getting wrecked by much more than 3 Gusts simply because their damn Halo roots me so I can’t evade, whereas I am frequently able to use evasion to get away from triple Gust

Had 3 MK2/12 gusts on mine until I got a halo to slap on it. A bit less damage, but the lockdown spread can stop more than one bot in its tracks. Comes in handy when a teammate is close by to help finish them off.

If it’s damage you are after then go for three gusts. The spread of gusts is nice and narrow.
I run one halo on various bots, but the pursuer seems to benefit the least from it.

2 gust and 1 halo.
Damage on halo is decent,
Root keeps faster bots from running away and will help your team WIN.
Root makes your teammates stronger,
3 Gust will get more damage,
On paper 2 gust and 1 halo is better for wins with good teammates.

Please don't use persuer.
Remember when every one had a Lance, we are at the same place now. Back to square one.
Too much stealth in the meta.

Comes in handy when a teammate is close by to help finish them off. Same here.... Most people are using what they have. Myself I had pre eco 2.0 gust so I use them more than my Halos on bots. The gust I have up to MK2 12 while the Halos are all MK1 11 and 12. They cost so much its hard to justify MK2 at this time with so many other items needing upgrades. |

Got more irons than I have fires to put them in. |

I endorse any kinetic shotty or energy shotty build or any combo in between; personally I'd lean Gust.

Over been running 2 gust and 1 halo the last week or so. I lose some damage output, but it’s enough to kill off what I can root. Plus the rooting helps against hellburner rushes as I can plant them from 500 out without getting too close to the fire. Pulse it helps me escape when hunt mode starts running out.

Just had a thought. What do you guys think of Halo/Spark/Spark on the Pursuer? With all the stealth bots these days (literally had a game with NOTHING but stealth bots - including my own), I'm not sure this would work well. It would basically work good for anything that is not stealth or physical shield.
