What load out is best for ares?

When Purple Panties are nerfed, I will give you an idea what to use.

The absorber IS nerfed! The leech will nightmare it when my ares is finished?

Shotguns are good, kinetic or energy. Scourge/spark is very good. Taran/halo is a nice set up. My favorite is corona/shredder.

As it's been stated, pretty much everything works except for hydras, molots, ballistas or shocktrains.

Then I’ll get the shot grouping skill for damage at longer range.?

Because two are better than one.


Still OP.

What are the 4 skills?

PDB works if you can't/won't/don't want to level another set of LD shotguns.

On the right map, my Pulsar/Shredder Ares is useful. Corona/Halo can be quite devastating if you are on the receiving end. :-(

Will be later to the party because I get it at the end of the month!

I ran Marquees and Hussars for a while. The 600 meter range was useful for keeping the Aries out of harms way most of the time but then if I happend to activate it's ability to save it's dainty butt from someone flining missles at me, the retrabution weapons would fall short of the original target.
Then I did the leadhouse and it was alot of fun, but that put me in range of quite a few red weapons and as soon as the purple underpants fell off I was target numero uno.
After the Leadhouse I loaded it out with two Sparks and a pair of Scorges. That was an interesting set-up as those weapons take a moment to lock on to a target. On e they are spewing forth the charged particals they seem to have a mind of their own. If weapons lock is not activated they randomly go from Red to Red depending on who walks into the field of view.
Right now my Aries is sitting in the garage. It's a fun bot to play but I have a Hades and a Nemisis in the active hanger at the moment. I am sure it will be in the mix again soon as I like to switch out Bots often.

maybe you should run pulsar marquess, it keeps people at a distance and gives very good dmg and lockdown chance. All tasers works wonders for damage and I would have to recomend shredders and tarans because of the consistant dmg on both (since you can stay out in the open so long).

I may not run one myself but I am usually decent at picking out good setups, not bragging, I just am used to including details that many wont think of (mostly since they matter only a little).

Today I ran into a pulsar kumiho, and that rekt me. So when the ares is finished it seems viable. Though might wait on weapon production because everyone says ares isn’t going to stop bashing it with the nerf hammer.
