If you are like me you know that the Gareth has this something that makes you run it no matter what. Over the years Gary has proven that it can still be a fun bot to run no matter how many times the Meta changes.
Back when the Gareth got released it was commonly seen with Taran / Magnum combo as its main setup which back then it proved to be a decent setup for support. But as the times change and new weapons got released the Taran and Magnum combo got relegated (more like Pixonic nerfing and forcing new meta) and Gareth received a new deadly combination that once again gave it a little spark of life, Corona / Halo combo or as I call it "The Loki Killer". Back when the Corona and Halo had their full potential (random lockdown and full power) I killed so many Loki. Even Ares, Leech and Ao Jun can be taken down with this setup if you play it well.
Now that Pixonic once again decided to change the elements of the game (another nerf) its previous best setup maybe has been compromised to not perform as good as before, which now begs the question, Which setup is going to take the place best setup for the Gareth? Cryo / Rime, Igniter / Blaze or Scourge /Spark. ( I don't have Cryo or Rime available. Orkan is just a placeholder).
Personally I think Atomizer / Quarker is going to be the next best setup for Gareth. Infinite ammo, can work as a range weapon for a short time and as you get closer the weapons will do more damage, just like the shotguns. I would like to read your suggestion/opinion Fellow Gareth Lover. On a side note, I REALLY wish Pixonic released the "Vermillion Skin" for the Gareth. That event/promotion is non-existent, make it impossible to get the skin.  |

It can't be cryo/rime because that puts Gareth in the range of it.
I'd probably stick with pulsar/shredder
But let's be honest, Gareth will always be best off with Punishers... For the level it would be used.
I'm sure it has its moments but it's so frail and cryo will wreck it. If anything there's a lot less tulumbas to worry about.

I know I can be takedown fairly easy but that doesn't prevent me to run my boy.
I use it in any league (Champion, Master, Expert, etc.) and thanks to the awful the matchmatching sometimes I get good games and sometimes bad games.
On my best games I get 3-5 kills with the Gareth.
I don't like using Gary as sniper for the simple reason that it has very low firepower and it's kinda boring. I have used Pulsar / Shredder but mostly to annoy and lock down.
btw a Max MK2 Gareth can get up to 193,000 Shield + Physical Shield Expert (25%): 96,500 HP and 241,250 Physical Shield, Which is not that bad if you face an energy weapon user.
Now imagine if you could equip 3 Fortifiers or Heavy Armor kits.

Shockwave The atomizer plus a shredder would be sexy I also though of this combination.
Gareth is the only reason I would run or at least try to get an Atomizer.

Hussar and marquess maybe? For reload while firing. IDK. Is there any reason these weapons never get a mention they look pretty good to me.

Been a while since I ran it, but Scourge-Spark was my favorite. The combination of autolock and Gary's buggy hitbox made it so I could run all over the place dishing out damage while taking far less myself.

If I win atomizer it's going on a Cossack... |

You're all missing the obvious answer. The best weapon set for the Gareth is still the Taran/Magnum*, especially when you've maxed them out and added Master Gunsmith and the gunsmith skill for the Magnum. Hits hard, never stops firing (at least the Magnum doesn't, and the Taran reload is pretty short), and 350m is pretty decent range for a highly mobile, heavily armored** beacon runner & flanker that you can fit into some tight spaces.
*My son still swears by Orkan+Pinata for his Gareth build. YMMV, but he's got a really interesting hangar that's half meta and half 「whiskey tango foxtrot」.
**Mk2L12 with Armor Expert & Physical Shield Expert & Mechanic

How cool would it be that the next Gary is a Titan....fast, 600,000 shield, Alpha/Beta weapons.....maybe new Titan Atomizer for it....
Or, not........

I use a Gareth in my team regularly and a Magnetar/Punisher T seems to work pretty nicely, I have even been able to hold my ground even against some low level titans, plus I see a lot of people using energy weapons so Gareth is still very useful against most energy builds.

Whoa, 2 year blast from the past. I thought the Gareth was in for a buff.
It was so much fun dodging enemy fire in one but I'm pretty sure a wet paper bag would last longer in todays meta.

I still drop my 2 Garys in masters BR, both pulsar/magnetar. I can last 3-4 minutes at very mindful range if my team is taking care of business. However, if my team is a box of donuts, then the next match arrives very quickly 😂 |
