Demolitionist Build

Bringer of the booms!

Heavy engineering armor with enhanced explosive protection.
CE-27 Ground Breaker

Engineering Armor helps you control the Grenade Launchers recoil and gives you 2 more Thermite for those Heavies

Armor
Democratic Detonation
A heavy rifle with explosive rounds.
JAR-5 Dominator

Any Primary will do. You need something to do some heavy lifting. I like Jar 5 on bots, or Blitzer on bugs. They can handle everything hunder Heavies

Primary
Steeled Veterans
A pistol front-loaded with a single, powerful explosive. The weight of the projectile limits the weapon's range.
GP-20 Ultimatum

Used for Bile Titans, Factory Striders, and any Objectives that needer bigger firepower

Secondary
Servants of Freedom
A thermite grenade that burns through heavy armor.
G-123 Thermite

Used on Chargers, Hulks, and any other Heavies that need blowing up.

Throwable
Democratic Detonation
A versatile grenade launcher for area damage.
GL-21 Grenade Launcher

Cant be the Demolitionist without the Grenade Launcher. Will obliterate everything under Heavies in waves.

Stratagem
A backpack that provides ammunition to teammates.
B-1 Supply Pack

Supply Pack keeps your Grenade Launcher fed and turns it into a never ending stream of explosions. Not to mention all the free Ultimatums and Thermite.

Stratagem
A sustained barrage of 120mm high-explosive shells.
Orbital 120mm HE Barrage

120 is your Medium sized demolition cooldown. Use this on Medium or Small bases, or pair it with 380 for a quick stop to breaches or bot drops.

Stratagem
A devastating barrage of massive 380mm high-explosive shells.
Orbital 380mm HE Barrage

380 is the biggest of Booms! This will absolutely eliminate a large base or Bot Drop / Bug Breach to include all of the heavies (usually).

Stratagem

Playstyle

You are the Demolitionist, the bringer of the booms. Your main focus is Objectives. Is there a Nest or a Base? You are the one to close the Holes and the Fabricators while your team lays down cover fire. With the Grenade Launcher in your hands and a Supply Pack on your back, you have enough explosives to bring down the house. Once the Objective is clear, back up your team with some explosive crowd clearing capabilities. Your 120 will help you Demo medium and small bases, while your 380 will help you Demo large ones. If there is no base to dismantle, the 120 and 380 make a great counter to any breach / drop that decides to get in your way. Throw in a couple of clips from your Grenade Launcher and that breach or drop is gone. Wen you come across some Elites, like Bile Titans or Factory Striders, your Ultimatum makes quick work of them, for the standard Heavies like Chargers and Hulks, you have Thermite. And when those little guys get too close a simple Primary like the Dominator or Blitzer should be more then enough. Engineering Armor allows you to control the recoil of the Grenade Launcher better and gives you 2 more Thermite for even more booms. Now go, show the enemies of democracy why you are called, The Demolitionist.
