Loadout Suggestion for MK4 Shooter

Hey,

Need Suggestions for my MK4 Shooter .
I'm not good with area damage weapons so point damage loadout would be appreciated.

Current Infamy - 550, seem to stuck b/w 550 and 650, can't go up and i don't play that bad.

Current Loadout - 2 * Sniper cannon ; 1 Big torpedo ; 1 explosive cannon ; 1 big shield and a Bandage.

Thanks

 

I'd take the bandage out until you get to mk4 and equip a turbo replacing your explosive for a fire bomb would provide you some versality, eventually. You'll learn how to use It...

 

If I'm playing shooter on my mk4, I'll run the following - double blast cannons, ex cannon, firebomb, big shield and turbo. Not the fastest ship in the bay, or the most powerful, but I get by

 

I ranked up to 1000 infamy with cannon, sniper cannon, railgun, firebomb
Blue slots: big shield and turbo.
In my experience turbo >>>> bandage

 

My M4 loadout

Standard Cannon: For close range DPS and nailing little speeders
Exploding Cannon: Mid-range punch
Sniper Cannon: Long range punch... and nailing those little speeders
Long Range Mortar: Gives me some additional long-range throw weight.
Turbo: Because speed makes you hard to hit.
Big Shield: Who doesn't like HP?

 

This is almost exactly the same as my loadout. The only difference is that I have Big Bertha instead of the Long Range Mortar.

Alternative loadouts:-
Swift Torp instead of Standard Cannon
Tri Torp instead of Big Bertha

 

I'm at 1200 at mk 4. Build for shooter. Blast cannon (for destroying anything close enough). Ex cannon (same thing). Berta ( for killing multiple unfriends at once). Cannon (for consist dmg). Big shield(hphphphp) and turbo( speed is key).

 

Standard Cannon: Awesome short and mid-range DPS. Great for popping speeders.
Ex Cannon: Sometimes you just need a little extra punch. I used both blast and Ex depending on what did the most damage at the moment. This was great for an assassination where burst damage is key.
Sniper Cannon: Excellent damage at all ranges and great for popping speeders.
Long Range Mortar: Adds to long-range throw weight for those annoying missile/mortar fests at the beginning of each battle.

I suspect what you'll find, however, is that the shooter isn't capable of this sort of play... at least not at mid-infamies. I finally gave up and went to a speeder and it suits me (and DD weapons) so much better. On a speeder you are not defenseless even when you are in direct line of sight of all 5 unfriends.
